Chapter 10: A NEW REUNION (PART 3)
A Few Hours Earlier
Golden sunlight streamed through the windowpanes, casting a warm glow across the room, while the sweet melody of birdsong gently roused a female elf from her peaceful slumber. Her ears twitched slightly at the sound, and a soft sigh escaped her lips as she slowly blinked awake, savoring the serenity of the morning. She stretched her body and turned to the side, seeing a black-haired human man still fast asleep. Slowly, she rose from the bed and opened her bedroom window. The fresh morning air and gentle breeze greeted her face. She softly combed her messy hair before heading to the bathroom to wash her face and change her clothes.
After getting ready, she went to the kitchen to cook breakfast. The aroma of food filled the room, waking the man.

Once finished, they left the house together, walking side by side toward their workplaces. The elf woman parted ways midway and continued her journey to the Adventurer’s Guild. In the morning, the place was bustling with adventurers scrambling to pick up quests.
"Good morning, Miss Rania. You’re here early. Can I help you with something?" asked Winda, the Guild receptionist.
"Good morning, Winda. I want to ask you something," Rania replied.

Rania pulled out a vial containing a silvery white liquid and placed it on the table.
"I want to know who submitted this potion yesterday."
"Oh! I think it was your aunt."
(Aunt? Did Aunt Rima come back?!) "Are you sure?"
