Chapter 225: Pretty Sister
Four months have passed, and now July has arrived, bringing the peak of summer’s embrace. It is a month adorned with warmth and light. However, as the sun rises in the sky, the temperature in Willow town remains pleasant; it’s neither too cold nor too hot.
Over the past four months, a lot has happened to Iris and the people around her.
She actively embraced the mission given by Lucian, and she feels grateful for it. Carrying out twenty missions, Lucian rewards her with abundant resources. Now, her magical abilities and powers increase rapidly.
While carrying out her mission, Gavriel remained by her side. In truth, she didn’t want company, fearing a repeat of what happened with Justin. Still, Lucian and Xavier insisted Gavriel accompany her. She had no choice but to accept their arrangement.
Because Gavriel often accompanied her on missions, he now lived in their housing complex. Xavier allows him to live in a small house near the forest, specially provided for him, alongside Niles, who also stays there.
...
Despite Iris succeeding in her mission, something peculiar occurred. She never encountered Demons or Dark Witches; they seemed to vanish after the incident involving Justin four months ago.
Iris feels uneasy imagining the Demons hiding in the dark and stalking her, yet she never notices them.
"Did the Demons and Dark Witches know our movements?" She repeatedly asked Gavriel like that, but he didn’t know the reason.
She also asked Xavier about the disappearance of the Demons, but his answer was ambiguous.
"Perhaps they are afraid of you, improving and capable of defeating them instantly," Xavier always responded like this. Later, she decided to refrain from asking further.
