Chapter 129: Aunty Loves Her Niece! (6)
Nod— Nod—It was past midnight.A black-haired child was nodding off on a sofa in the reception room.She must have been tired judging from her half-closed eyes.

When a strange ball of fur jumped onto the girl’s shoulder, she jumped awake and yelled.
“... Naru didn’t sleep! Naru only closed her eyes!”
Smack— Smack—Watching the child hit her own soft cheeks, the White Mage, Friede, crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes.
‘Naru Barjudas. Supposedly Brigitte’s daughter. There was no news of her giving birth. But the fact that she has a 6-year-old child means….’
There was something that she couldn’t tell them.If the former head, Faust, had still been alive, he would’ve had his eyes on her saying, “I’d like to take her in for research.”
But Friede was no such person.She also wasn’t stupid enough to make enemies of her sister or the King of Thieves. As the head of the family, Friede Walpurgis needed to protect many things and couldn’t risk doing anything dangerous.
And the reason for her being awake at 2 am was to wait for the return of a certain man.Though she had given a ‘gate’ magic scroll to him and his companions, anything could happen.So Friede was here at the 「Junk Mansion」 to prepare for that.
