Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1657 - 117: Northern Realm’s Guests (Part 2)

No matter what, it’s always right to prepare thoroughly beforehand.

He first opened Azan Ross’s Blessing again, wanting to check with Little Alicia about the state after the protective Blessing, considering that she was not familiar with him like Emhardt was. If even Fisher couldn’t be seen, naturally there would be no so-called care.

As expected, when Fisher thoughtfully recited the spell to unfold Azan Ross’s Blessing, in front of Little Alicia, he seemed completely disappeared, instantly turning her expressionless little face into one of panic, looking left and right in an especially adorable way.

There’s no way around it; he didn’t have enough time to deepen their relationship, and it was normal that she couldn’t see him because Fisher had prepared a backup plan.

You are the chosen one, Sir Emhart!

Don’t forget, Emhardt could see Fisher, and once he moved away from Fisher, he would not be under the protection, and this distance meant even standing on Fisher’s shoulder was fine, so Alicia quickly noticed Emhardt, who was out of the Blessing, and let him convey Fisher’s words.

"Such an amazing Magic, truly worthy of being grandpa’s disciple..."

Alicia’s eyes sparkled like stars, with an expression of admiration. However, as she spoke, she suddenly remembered something, glanced at the gradually setting sun outside, stood up, and said,

"It’s almost evening; I...I’m going to chop wood and start a fire. Oh, big brother, remember to look at the thing grandpa left you; grandpa said it’s very important."

After saying all this, without waiting for Emhardt to relay Fisher’s words, she ran out of the house to prepare the items necessary for the evening.

Originally intending to follow and help, Fisher was momentarily stunned by her words and then looked at the notebook with no writing on the cover that Alicia had handed him earlier.

Mr. Helsen’s notebook...

After a moment of silence, he still slowly opened it, not expecting the opening sentence to leave him stunned, seeing Helsen’s handwriting that said,

"On the day of my 20th birthday, I accidentally used a self-crafted Magic to blow open the Gate to the Spirit Realm."

Fisher’s pupils slightly contracted, suddenly immobilized.

...

...

"Trivial, did your brain just run out of nutrients after I drained them, to do something so stupid."

At this moment, within an inn in Chittel City, a blossom bathing atop someone’s head under the "Sunlight Magic" gently swayed, appearing especially vibrant. An exasperated voice rang through that person’s mind, carrying a tone of disdain.

Before that peach blossom was a mirror, and appearing within it was the white-haired Phoenix, the somewhat uneasy Valentina.

Hearing Master Tao’s words in her mind, Valentina couldn’t help but feel a bit bashful, raising a finger and whispering,

"That’s why I need your help; it’s a golden opportunity. I finally have definite news about Fisher, but I can’t even confirm it, so I had Little Slime help me, alright..."

"Heh, don’t forget that you are now the Phoenix of the Wutong Tree, their titular leader. Did you think becoming a leader means you can do whatever you want? Power often comes with duties. They forbidding you to act rashly is correct; rather, it’s you sneaking out that’s wrong, trivial."

Valentina pouted slightly. Evidently, even though she had slept for five years and had done her utmost to fit the title of "Phoenix" outwardly, internally, she was still an eighteen-year-old girl with time frozen for four and a half years, just like Fisher.

Upon hearing the definite news from Slime regarding Fisher, Valentina wanted to verify this news specifically. Although the Slimes agreed superficially, they had been completely penetrable in Nali in the past few years, so this agreement was evidently open to negotiation.

Recognizing this, Valentina privately decided to enter Nali to attend Mr. Fischer’s funeral.

On the surface, it indeed seemed like a foolish act; the number one opposing faction from the letters against the Nali Empress actually secretly sneaking into the enemy nation—there was hardly anything more foolish than this, but Valentina had her reasons for doing so.

The reason, of course, was the Master Tao in her mind.

After these months of recovery, Master Tao’s condition and capabilities have increased, you see, the peach blossoms on top just kept growing better?

"Master Tao, please help me. Earlier, when I was complaining in the Wutong Tree about growing so tall, you said there was a way to change my appearance."

"...You sure remember these things clearly, trivial."

Valentina noticed this; actually, Master Tao didn’t really care about her sneaking out of the Wutong Tree, since it seemed in her eyes that whether it be the Wutong Tree, the Northern Countries, or Nali, they were merely trivial playing house together; she had no concern about it.

She was only concerned about the enemy named "Chaos," and it was only recently that she managed to develop some interest in Nali.

The reason was simple—Master Tao mentioned that she knew the general appointed by Nali in the South Continent, named Barbatos.
