I am the heroine's godfather!

Felicia frowned slightly: "It seems your family didn't teach you about etiquette."

"ha?!!"

"But I don't think what Miss Felicia said was very polite."

Seeing that Laura was about to break down, Anna immediately took over, putting on an impeccable smile.

However, Felicia tilted her head: "Is being polite about wearing a clumsy mask like you? You Isnar people are quite amusing."

A double kill, instant fame!

Anna could barely keep her smile going.

Charlotte, of course, wouldn't indulge her: "What, you think so highly of yourself, but I haven't seen you achieve anything."

"Sigh, it seems that not only is your talent mediocre, but your intelligence gathering ability is also so poor."

Felicia sighed, took out a medal from her pocket, and hung it on her chest: "Alchemist Guild, Silver Medal Recipient of Enchanting Profession, Felicia."

Silver Medal!

The Alchemists' Guild is the gathering place for most alchemists in the Eastern Continent. It holds annual examinations, awarding medals to those who pass. The medal's rank corresponds to the alchemist's skill level. A Silver Medal signifies that the recipient has the ability to operate independently, and in some smaller cities, they can even be revered as a master.

Charlotte had no rebuttal left and let out a defeated lament.

Three consecutive events, the whole world was shocked!

Seeing her friends retreat one after another, Miss Daisy finally sighed. She took a small step forward, but Felicia didn't even bother to lift her eyelids.

It's nothing but the dying struggle of the weak; it's utterly boring.

“Miss Felicia is right, but whether Charlotte’s talent is good or bad, it is Mr. Loran’s decision.”

Felicia frowned, but Daisy maintained her faint smile: "Or does Miss Felicia think Mr. Loran did something wrong?"

“你！不，洛兰老师，我不是这个意思每^日.发！书，群【6`5,0/5^0”2*3>3.8】......”

End of winning streak! Daisy has ended Felicia's winning streak! Powerful, unparalleled power!

Seeing Felicia finally showing a hint of panic, Laura, Anna, and Charlotte's expressions improved, and they quickly came over: "Daisy, how did you know that as long as Loran is mentioned, this guy will definitely panic!"

"Well, it's because Miss Felicia cares a lot about Mr. Loran."

Daisy smiled faintly: "Otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to argue with us at all."

Loran, who had been watching the entire argument unfold, finally spoke up. He had already realized what was happening, but before he could say anything, Laura had already spoken, and he had no chance to reply.

Until Daisy and Felicia finished their confrontation.

"Felicesia".

Loran sighed: "You shouldn't have said that."

"Well!"

After being rejected by Loran, Felicia's face darkened, but her eyes still held a hint of stubbornness: "So, what you mean is, in your eyes, I'm inferior to her?"

"Why do you think so?"

“可这就是您想表达的意思每^日.发！书，群【6`5,0/5^0”2*3>3.8】。”

"I don't......"

"If not!"

Felicia suddenly raised her voice, interrupting Loran, then her tone turned grim: "If not, why, why wasn't she abandoned by you?"

"I......"

Loran opened his mouth, momentarily at a loss for words. He then realized why Felicia had been so abrupt; she was still resentful that he had entrusted her to Granny Baron years ago.

He was indeed wrong in this matter. At that time, Loran had just experienced the war against the Demon King and his mindset hadn't yet shifted towards retirement like when he adopted Charlotte. Back then, he was traveling all over the world, trying to find something that could cure Messiah. The human kingdoms, which had just achieved peace, were still far from stable, and Loran was thinking that it would be dangerous to keep Felicia by his side.

Furthermore, his own alchemy skills were only at an average level, and he was not qualified to properly teach Felicia.

However, no matter how I try to justify it, I was ultimately in the wrong for not considering Felicia's feelings. If only I had sat down and talked to Felicia properly...

“If Professor Loran thinks I am inferior to her, then I think it is your miscalculation.”

Felicia looked at Charlotte: "In the dueling tournament, I will suppress my strength to be at your level."

The girl's eyes held a hint of determination: "Then, I will show you that your so-called talent and strength are worthless."

Charlotte was silent for a while, then raised her head and met Felicia's eyes: "Alright, I accept your challenge."

Chapter 92 Charlotte, you are truly despicable now.

Loran wanted to say something, but after the two girls had made up their minds, he had no chance to interrupt.

This matter is indeed his fault in essence.

Back then, Loran was still a somewhat delusional person who didn't quite understand human nature—although he wasn't as cold-faced as when he first met Messiah, his level of delusion was no less than before.

After all, Loran's life in this lifetime was just too outrageous.

He was transported to another world and woke up to find himself a child soldier. He barely survived the battlefield, but suffered psychological trauma. He met a gentle, beautiful, and powerful female companion and embarked on a journey to save the world—it all seemed like the protagonist of a classic shonen anime. Just when he finally defeated the Demon King and was about to enjoy a peaceful retirement, his beautiful companion turned out to be more divine than human.

Loran didn't immediately switch sides to the evil god's camp because Messiah had such a profound influence on him.

You can't expect Lorraine at that time to care about what a little girl thinks.

It was only a few years later that Loran realized that saving Messiah was not something that could be accomplished overnight, so he gradually calmed down. Otherwise, Charlotte might have followed in Felicia's footsteps.

Ah, but since Charlotte is the child of Lorraine's old friend, she will probably be sent to Morganflore territory to be raised by her sister.

Alas, Felicia was born at the wrong time.

However, looking at it from another angle, if Loran hadn't been a madman back then, he wouldn't have recklessly ventured into the Kingdom of Arcana alone, and if he hadn't done that, he wouldn't have found Felicia.

All I can say is that it's all a choice made by Steins;Gate (not really).

In any case, the duel between Felicia and Charlotte was now over. Afterwards, Charlotte and her three friends left first—now that they knew Felicia wasn't Loran's girlfriend as they had guessed, they naturally didn't need to stay.

Although Charlotte didn't know what had happened between Felicia and Loran, she could glean some clues from Felicia's words.

If you put yourself in Felicia's shoes, you might not be much better off than her.

What was Loran doing at that moment?

Loran was arrested by Felicia.

Loran felt guilty about Felicia's attack earlier and didn't dare say a word. Felicia, lost in thought, also remained silent. The two walked along the path in San Casta, watching the sunset.

"Teacher Loran."

"what happened?"

Seeing that Felicia finally spoke, Loran quickly responded, feeling a little uneasy.

However, Felicia did not accuse him as Loran had expected. Instead, she looked at the fading sunset and said slowly, "Do you remember when we first met?"

"of course I remember."

Lorraine also recalled those days: "Back then, you were as dirty as a little beggar, and your personality was like a hedgehog. You were wary of everyone and thought I was a bad guy trying to kidnap you."

"Yes. It's also thanks to Teacher Loran for not finding me troublesome and for taking me in back then."

Felicia finally smiled faintly: "So, Professor Loran, I won't resent you. After all, without you, I would have died on some moonless night."

“Felicesia…”

"But no matter what, Professor Loran, even I would be angry that you abandoned me."

Felicia turned to look at Loran: "So, consider today's events as me venting my anger a little."

"Ah, it's time. I have a project to do tonight, so I'll be going now."

After leaving those words behind, Felicia turned and left. Loran stood there, silent for a long time, before finally sighing.

--------------

Back in his dorm room, Loran turned on the magic-powered lights, intending to take a shower, but found a pair of emerald eyes staring straight at him from the sofa.

Loran was startled, but upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn't some kind of ghost or monster—in fact, Loran thought it would be better if it were. If it were a ghost or monster, Loran would have immediately used Messiah to purify it.

Unfortunately, the person sitting there is someone who cannot be purified.

Charlotte?

"Ah."

Charlotte responded in a muffled voice, sounding somewhat hoarse, and her lips looked a little dry.

Lorraine quickly poured a glass of water and sat down next to Charlotte: "What's wrong?"

"...Loran, can you tell me about what happened between you and Felicia?"

Charlotte didn't answer Lorraine's question, but instead asked, "Why are you suddenly curious about this?" Lorraine handed her the cup.

Charlotte took the glass of water, took a sip, and muttered softly, "I'm just curious, is that not allowed?"

"It's okay, that's fine."

Loran scratched his head and said, "But it's not exactly an interesting story."

"Then I want to hear it too."

"Okay, okay... I remember it was almost ten years ago, I went to the Kingdom of Arcana to investigate some things and met Felicia, who was only five or six years old at the time..."

The story wasn't long; it was just a cliché tale of a homeless girl being found. Loran omitted some details that might reveal his identity and told the whole story: "...In the end, because I hadn't settled down yet, I entrusted Felicia to an acquaintance."

"We'll meet again now."

"...No wonder Felicia was angry with you."

Charlotte sighed; she would have been angry too if she were in that situation.

Loran scratched his head: "I didn't think things through properly back then. I was only thinking about doing what I thought was good for Felicia, without considering her feelings."

Loran also reflected on his actions. At the time, he thought that he couldn't let Felicia's talent go to waste. Otherwise, he could have sent her to Morganflore and entrusted her to his sister to raise.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this guilt that Loran didn't dare to visit Felicia for so many years afterward.

Sigh, what a dark history story.

Loran sighed deeply.

The two fell silent again, and then Loran spoke up: "Speaking of which, why did you end up there?"

"Well......"

Charlotte couldn't help but feel a little shy at this point. She admitted that she had followed Lorraine because she was afraid he was in a relationship; it was too embarrassing to admit.

But upon closer reflection, it seems she's not the only one who thinks this way.

Ms. Claire did it too.

In short, although somewhat awkward, Charlotte told the whole story. After listening, Lorraine burst out laughing: "What? How could you have such a misunderstanding?"

"Well, it's just that this timing is too easy for people to misunderstand."

Charlotte's face turned bright red.

"However, Loran."

Charlotte suddenly asked, "Do you have someone you like right now?"

"..."

Loran remained silent for a while, then smiled and said, "I don't have any plans to be in a relationship right now."

"That's it..."

For some reason, the girl's mood brightened.

Chapter 93 An Ordinary Day for the Holy Maiden

At dawn, as the first rays of sunlight pierce the mountains surrounding the holy city, the bells hanging atop the church begin to ring.

The sound of the bell echoed across the surrounding mountains like thunder, or perhaps like a divine pronouncement.

A new day begins in the holy city at this moment.

As the headquarters of the Papacy, the Holy City can almost be called the most noble city in the world. However, the people living here are not high-ranking officials or nobles, but the most devout believers of the Church.

It is said that every believer in the Vatican aspires to settle in the Holy City, which is the highest praise the Vatican can give to believers and the greatest recognition of their piety.

Especially after the battle with the Demon King.
