Frieren, go find Eisen.
There's a surprise we prepared for you there.
Inside the house, the lamplight flickered.
The faces of the four people were sometimes clear, sometimes dim under the lamplight.
"So Heiter told you."
Eisen suddenly understood. He had been wondering how Frieren knew they had prepared a "surprise" for her.
"So what is it?"
Frieren blinked her eyes curiously.
A surprise must be something that brings joy.
Novel Magic?
A beautiful Magic book?
A unique dessert from the Dwarf homeland?
"The Great Mage, Flamme's memoirs."
Eisen slowly spoke the truth.
The anticipation on Frieren's face faded.
"So it's this."
"Does Mistress Frieren not like it?"
Fern quietly discussed with Yulian.
"Looking at her expression, she seems not to, but..."
Yulian pursed his lips, looking a bit conflicted.
Sometimes you can't guess Frieren's true thoughts.
As an old tsundere, Frieren's true thoughts are often hidden.
"But Mistress Frieren also collected many Magic books of the Great Mage Flamme, even if they were fakes."
Fern rubbed her forehead slightly, feeling a headache.
Her actions and expression are opposite!
"Yes, it's this."
Eisen seemed to have guessed Frieren's reaction and wasn't too surprised.
"It is said to contain conversations between Flamme and her deceased comrades—"
"In the distant north, there is a place called the Land of Souls' Rest."
"The Great Mage Flamme met her deceased comrades there."
"Mm, she told me about it."
Frieren nodded gently, her red earrings swaying with the movement, which was very beautiful.
"Does Mistress Frieren know the legendary Great Mage Flamme?"
Fern gently nudged Yulian with her elbow, her face filled with shock.
"Not only that, Flamme was Frieren's master."
When mentioning Flamme, Yulian couldn't help but smile.
She was a very interesting person!
"Ma- ma- ma- master!"
Fern stammered her words, completely not expecting this answer!
"So Frieren, don't you want to understand humans?"
"I hope you can also go understand Himmel and meet him at the Land of Souls' Rest."
Eisen's gaze was deep as he quietly looked at Frieren.
"If that's the case—"
"I understand."
Frieren nodded.
Eisen grinned.
"Let's set off tomorrow, destination Vol Basin."
"According to Heiter's investigation, Flamme's memoirs are definitely there."
Vol Basin was still some distance from the Dwarf homeland.
Even taking a carriage for half the distance along the way, it would still take almost a day and a night to reach.
The group that set off at dawn the next day had no choice but to spend the night in the Forest when night fell.
Fortunately, Fern and Frieren both knew the Magic of making wooden houses.
"Wood Release - Wood House Technique!"
Fern, with a slight blush, made the hand signs Yulian had taught her.
Instantly, three wooden houses rose from the ground before the four people!
"How amazing."
Eisen reached out in surprise and stroked the wooden house, exclaiming in a calm tone.
"Is this Magic that Fern researched herself?"
Eisen asked Fern curiously.
Heiter had once told him that Fern was a child with extraordinary talent.
"Mr. Yulian taught it to me."
Fern waved her hand and smiled sweetly at Yulian.
"Yulian knows Magic too!"
Eisen's gaze slightly narrowed.
"Yes, but because he is of the Demon, he rarely uses Magic."
Frieren walked over from the campfire; she was ready to sleep.
"Frieren—"
Eisen looked at Frieren with a complex gaze.
"What's wrong, Eisen?"
Frieren stopped at the entrance of the wooden house.
"Nothing, get some rest early."
Eisen's lips moved finally, but he changed what he was about to say.
"You too, Eisen."
Frieren smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, I'll get up early tomorrow."
"Just like today."
After speaking, Frieren entered the wooden house.
"Then I'll go rest too—"
"Mr. Yulian, Mister Eisen."
Fern greeted the two and followed Frieren into the wooden house.
By the campfire, Yulian felt a bit uncomfortable and looked up.
He happened to see Eisen's focused gaze heavily pressing down on him.
"Eisen, come sit down."
Yulian guessed why Eisen seemed to have something on his mind.
Perhaps in Eisen's eyes, it would have been fine if he were just a Demon with terrifying combat power, but this Demon, whose close combat ability was also terrifying, even knew Magic.
"Yulian, what is your purpose in getting close to Frieren?"
Eisen sat beside Yulian and asked seriously.
Eisen wasn't the slow-witted Frieren, nor was he the still young Fern!
Eisen knew that Yulian's strength and his identity within the Demon were definitely not simple!
With a Demon like this following Frieren, Eisen could only assume Yulian had ulterior motives.
In fact, if Frieren and Heiter hadn't both spoken highly of Yulian to him, Eisen would have already taken Frieren and the others and run away first out of respect for such a powerful enemy.
"Me—"
Yulian pointed to himself, a little helpless.
"Eisen, Frieren has also said it."
"I am different from other Demon."
Yulian let out a silent, wry laugh.
Even he himself didn't know why he was traveling with Frieren and the others, heading north together.
Yulian only knew that before Frieren and the others reached their destination, he could still be friends with them instead of enemies.
The people around him still had warmth, people who could bring warmth.
Not the Demon who lacked emotions, or were even emotionally indifferent.
"I am friends with them, and with you too, Eisen."
Yulian said seriously.
In the dim night, Yulian's eyes were very bright.
"I see..."
Eisen fell silent.
"Then I hope we can always be friends."
Yulian and Eisen spoke in low voices, but their voices still reached inside the house.
They couldn't hear clearly, but at least they knew the two were talking about something.
Frieren couldn't fall asleep easily. Without opening her eyes, she gently turned over and hugged Fern.
But Fern had her eyes open.
Looking at Frieren's face so close, Fern's heart beat slightly faster.
Smelling the unique scent on Frieren, Fern blushed slightly.
Just like that day.
Last time, because Mistress Frieren wanted to sleep with her, she couldn't sleep at all!
That's why she overslept on the day of the celebration!
This can't go on.
Fern gently bit her lip and called out softly.
"Mistress Frieren—"
Unfortunately, holding Fern, Frieren had already fallen asleep peacefully.
"Mama..."
In her dream, Frieren responded softly.
No...
Fern wanted to cry but had no tears, so she could only accept this fact.
Gently turning her body, she found a more comfortable position and slowly fell asleep...
Fortunately, it seemed she was also getting used to sleeping with Mistress Frieren...
