"There should be, right?" she answered hesitantly.

If the promise to come back to see her before counts...

"Ms. Irena?"

A voice full of doubt and uncertainty came from inside the house. Irena was stunned for a moment, and her eyes passed the girl in front of her and looked into the house behind her.

I saw a familiar blonde girl walking down the stairs. After seeing Irena's face clearly, the confusion on her face immediately turned into surprise.

"Really? You're back!"

As she said this, she hurriedly tried to run downstairs. However, she seemed to accidentally trip over something halfway, and her whole foot missed a step. She only had time to let out a short scream of "Ah" and almost tumbled down the stairs.

"Miss Tiaxia!" The maid was obviously frightened and ran over in panic.

Irena:......

Why does it feel like this scene in front of me is somewhat familiar?

……

"Long time no see, Miss Irena."

Sitting on the edge of the bed in the room, Tia Xia smiled happily and said this to the girl.

only……

Seeing her applying an ice pack to her forehead and the tears in the corners of her eyes, combined with her happy words at the moment, made Irene feel that it was a bit out of place.

"Do you need my help with treatment?" she asked kindly.

"Eh? No need." Tia Xia shook her head gently and took down the ice pack.

It can be seen that the originally red areas have returned to normal and the skin has become smooth and delicate again.

"It's just that there's still some pain left, but it doesn't hurt anymore..." She said in a low voice a little embarrassedly, as if she was sorry for making the girl worry.

It seems that it recovered much faster than last time?

Irena thought to herself, shook her head, looked at Tia Xia who was sitting opposite her, and asked the question she was most concerned about: "How old are you this year?"

Tia Xia was slightly stunned: "Eh? This... seventeen years old, what's wrong?"

Seventeen years old...By the way, how old was she before I left?

Irena tried to recall it, but finally shook her head and gave up the idea of ​​estimating the time in this way. She asked directly, "How long do you think I have been away?"

"About four or five months..."

In other words, my memory was not wrong.

But, in just four or five months, what happened to the girl that made her and the city become what they are now?

"I'm not really sure about this."

Faced with the girl's doubts, Tia Xia shook her head slightly and said with some distress.

"Ms. Irena, did you use my identity to find a florist to work with?"

Irena thought about it and nodded: "That's right..."

According to the original contract, I only need to provide the "portrait rights" that do not belong to me, and I can enjoy 30% of the flower shop's sales. ........

In fact, most of the funds for her travels in recent months came from this.

"In the beginning, the uncle really fulfilled the contract, and his business became better and better. Before long, he opened branches all over the city."

Tiaxia told the girl what happened in the city during her absence.

"Then one day, someone came to my door... He seemed to be the owner of another store. He saw the success of the florist and wanted to find me to be his spokesperson."

"I didn't intend to agree, but... I'm really not good at rejecting others. After chatting with him for a while, I agreed in a daze." Tia Xia said a little embarrassedly.

"I didn't know what happened afterwards, but more and more people started to come to my house and wanted to visit me. There were more and more billboards on the roadside. Sometimes when I went out, people would point fingers at me, which made me feel very uncomfortable."

"Then suddenly one day, someone invited me to a party. When I got there, I found out that it was open to the whole city. Facing so many people, I didn't know what to say. I just said a few words casually, sang a few lines of a song and did a few actions arranged by the organizer. I don't know how it was recorded and then spread all over the city..."

"Then, it became like this..."

Irena:......

So, this incident was actually caused by myself in the beginning?

Wait, according to Tia Xia, if she really endorses a lot of stores and is so popular now, it means that she is much richer than she thought?

Looking at the blond girl in front of her who was lowering her head somewhat embarrassedly, Irena slightly widened her eyes.

She never imagined that Tia Xia, who was poorer than herself a few months ago and couldn't even pay her medical bills and had to use her family property to pay for commissions, has now become a well-known super idol, and a very rich one.

Most importantly, she didn't even put in much effort in the process!

Why doesn't this happen to me? She's cute, isn't she?

Irena thought about it, and then seemed to have thought of something, and asked in confusion: "Speaking of which... since you are so rich now, why do you still live in this old house?"

"Because..." Tia Xia took a deep breath, fixed her eyes on her, and said in a very gentle tone: "This house has a special meaning to me."

Seeing the girl looking straight at her, Irena felt a little uncomfortable.

Could it be...that it has something to do with me?

"Huh? No?" Tia Xia blinked and replied, "Because this is the house that my great-grandfather left for me?"

Irena:......

Well, she had completely forgotten about this setting.

Chapter 522: It seems that the gods in this world are not that hard to see?

"Tea, please."

The black-haired maid gently placed the teacup in front of the girl, bowed slightly to her, and retreated out the door.

Taking her eyes away from the maid's departing figure, Irena looked at the blonde girl opposite and asked, "When did you get a maid like this?"

"Are you talking about that child?" Tia Xia recalled for a while and replied, "About a month ago, I picked him up on the roadside."

Picked it up? A question mark popped up in Irena's head.

"'Please take me home, I will work hard'... That's what she said to me at the time." Seeing the girl's puzzled expression, Tia Xia gave an answer.

"And then?" Irena asked.

"I took her home."

"..."

Isn't this a bit too casual? Aren't you afraid that you might bring back some weird people?

Irena complained in her heart.

"Because she looked really pitiful at the time." Tia Xia scratched her cheek and said a little embarrassedly.

If I could really get help from others just because I looked pitiful, I wouldn't have gone hungry so many times in the past.

Thinking of this, Irena suddenly realized something.

By the way...the account where I previously saved money for the girl seemed to be opened in my own name, right?

"Tia Xia..."

"what happened?"

"Have you opened any other bank accounts in the past few months?"

"No, I'm still using the same one as before." Tia Xia answered without any guard.

Irena couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In other words, if I change the password of my account now, this large sum of money seems to be completely mine?

"By the way, Miss Irena..."

The girl's words brought her attention back.

"Regarding the magic you said you wanted to analyze before..."

"Ah, you're talking about that." Seeing that they were finally getting back to business, Irena coughed lightly, puffed out her chest, and revealed a smug expression: "I already..."

"Actually, I can use it now." said Tia Xia.

"...Huh?" The girl's expression froze on her face and she blinked blankly.

Can you use it? How?

Have you met that goddess too?

"In fact, I only discovered later that there was a passage written on the last page of the book..."

As Tia Xia spoke, she took out the thick magic book again, turned to the last page and showed it to the girl.

Irena's eyes fell on the book, and she slowly read the only line of small words on it:

"If you encounter magic that you cannot learn, you can tear off the corresponding page along the dotted line..."

"Then I tried it and found that it actually worked." Tia Xia smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I made you work for nothing for so long."

Irena:......

Could you please mention such an important thing at the beginning?

So...what am I working so hard for?

"Ah, but the reward I promised you will certainly be indispensable."

Seeing that she had fallen silent, Tia Xia hurriedly made a promise.

"As for other losses, I will also compensate you."

As she spoke, she took out a heavy bag and placed it on the table, saying apologetically:

"For now, these are all I have...because these are all I have."

Looking at the bag full of coins on the table in front of her, Irena thought about it and felt that this was actually no big deal.

……

"This is it."

Tia Xia handed a silver-white sword to Irena.

"This is……"

Looking at the simple silver sword in her hand, a hint of doubt appeared in Irena's eyes.

This sword looks familiar? It seems to be the one that Tiaxia took out to test herself at the beginning, and then she accidentally cut it off?

"It's also a magic prop left by my great-grandfather." Tia Xia explained, "Because I had no money at the time, I had to use it as a reward for the mission."

You really don't feel sorry for the things left by your great-grandfather at all.

Irena thought to herself.

She didn't know what the girl was thinking. On the one hand, she cherished the house left to her by her grandfather, but on the other hand, she was willing to give away other things he left behind as a reward for the commission. Logically speaking, magic props should be more valuable than a house, right?

"Because I still have 138 similar magic props in my warehouse?" Faced with her doubts, Tia Xia answered with her head slightly tilted.

"..."

 250 "As for its specific function, I'm not too sure... Grandpa didn't leave any instructions or anything..." Tia Xia said with some regret.

Irena thought about it and decided to give it a try since she still had no idea.

Anyway, this sword belongs to me now, right?

She thought to herself, reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword, and tried to transfer some magic power into it.

Then...

"Om-"

The blade of the sword trembled slightly, emitting a bright holy white light.

Irena frowned slightly in confusion, feeling that the scene before her seemed familiar.
