Book 12.2: Chapter 4
Lorana looked at the two girls, who were dressed and ready to go, with puzzlement. She rubbed her eyes and remarked, “Why are you two up so early today?”
“To find food. That’s why we’re up a little earlier.”
Vyvyan did up her cloak, and then checked to ensure her ears wouldn’t be exposed. She also made sure to hide her blonde hair. Otherwise, she would stand out as an elf among humans. Elizabeth also wore on a cloak. The two prepared very ordinary clothes. It was a bit of a challenge to find clothes similar to what humans wore in the elven lands, but the two of them were identical to human female farmers.
Lorana was bewildered but nodded: “Go on, then, girls. Remember, it’s best if you can acquire food, but don’t go to dangerous places. I can tell you two have been preparing for a long time by looking at you. You two must be up to something weird, huh? Remember: don’t do anything dangerous. Ever. Understood?”
“How could we do something dangerous?”
Vyvyan gave Lorana a smile and wink. Lorana felt as though she said something useless, so she chuckled: “True. You two aren’t Inard, and you’re mature. Stay safe, you two.”
“We’ll be leaving now then, Teacher.” Elizabeth respectfully saluted Lorana.
Lorana nodded. Among her pupils, Elizabeth was the only one who was very respectful toward her. She was too well acquainted with Vyvyan and Inard, so they didn’t resemble pupils at all. Lorana, therefore, paid more attention to Elizabeth. After all, a teacher always hoped for their own pupils to respect them.
Lorana watched the young girls close the door and leave. She then turned her head around to look at the remaining stuff on the table. They finished breakfast then just up and left… However, she froze up when she saw the long sword on the table.
