The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

This time, the mischievous brat actually ran into Dekan and Cornelia's yard.

……

The afternoon sun shone in the quiet courtyard, illuminating the flower petals. In one corner of the courtyard, a small figure was hiding in the dense bushes by the house, moving about timidly, looking for something but trying hard not to make a sound.

She stood on tiptoe, trying to observe what was happening inside the room through the crack in the window.

The figure with two small dragon horns was undoubtedly Zestellila.

She ran away again after being sent back to the church.

"Hey."

Dekan pushed open the door and stared blankly at Zestellila's figure.

"babble!"

She was startled when Dekan suddenly opened the door.

"What's wrong? Running around like this will make the priest worry."

Dekan crossed his arms and said with a troubled look in his eyes.

Cornelia also came out in confusion and stood next to Dekan, looking at Zestellila.

She remembered that the little girl disliked Dekan for some reason, but was inexplicably close to her.

Unfortunately, this little guy is too naughty.

The thought of that young church priest, who was like a worried old father all day long, made Dekan and Cornelia feel sorry for him.

"That guy with the cloak and red eyes, is he really not going to show up again?"

Zestellila knew that Mingdekan might scold her, but she still dared to run a little closer to him and asked worriedly.

Dekan was stunned.

He hadn't realized Zestellila was so timid before; he thought that after sending her back to the church and assuring her along the way, she shouldn't be so afraid.

I was still terrified.

No, compared to her peers, Zestellila is already very brave.

After all, after being frightened by something of the seventh rank, even an adult in a small town might not be able to take care of themselves.

It's hard to imagine how much terror she went through on her way here after sneaking away.

I'm afraid I'll be living in fear every two steps.

"Will not."

Dekan assured him.

He'll get rid of that cloaked woman soon.

Without a doubt, that guy is a vampire.

Although it is a very rare thing to see vampires in this era.

But Dekan believed she would become a genuine vampire, telling him and Cornelia, the kind and simple small-town couple, all her stories.

"Zesterila!"

Accompanied by shouts, the church priests hurried to the outside of the Dekan family's yard.

Dekan quickly went over and opened the gate to the yard for him.

Unlike Zestellila, a mischievous girl who sneaks in, the priest would never trespass into someone else's yard.

They followed Dekan to the front of the house.

"I knew you'd be here."

The priest, panting and somewhat annoyed, spoke to the little girl.

But his eyes showed more relief at finding Zestellila.

When he saw Zestellila, his anxiety eased slightly.

"I'm so sorry..."

Zestellila said in a low voice.

She felt a little wronged, and also wanted to cry and tell the priest something.

But she didn't know how to organize her thoughts.

He would occasionally look up at Dekan, as if he had something to say but dared not say it.

"Uh, are you worried about your own flames?"

Dekan probably understood Zestellila's inner turmoil.

Zestellila was probably worried about hurting her friends who lived in the church because she couldn't control her breathing.

Or perhaps he accidentally breathed fire in the middle of the night, setting the church on fire and causing a conflagration.

Zestellila didn't say anything, but nodded.

The priest paused for a moment, having just heard Dekan mention Zestellila's condition at the church.

For now, if he pays more attention, he can still use low-level spells to block Zestellira's flames.

After all, Zestellila is only at Tier 1.

"Dr. Dekan, do you have a solution?"

"The priest asked."

But it would be terrible if an accident happened.

Because the other children in the church could not withstand Zestellira's flames.

He couldn't afford to be careless in the slightest, but he wasn't confident he could guarantee that everything would go perfectly.

For some reason, at that moment I had a feeling that the knowledgeable Dr. Dekan would have a solution.

"This is troublesome."

Dekan rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment.

He wasn't very good at controlling magic either. When he was learning magic, he was ridiculed by Da Zhan many times for "not even being able to grow a flower properly!"

Cornelia goes without saying; aside from using magic cards, she doesn't use magic at all.

This little guy does indeed possess extraordinary magical talent, or rather, it's more like a racial talent.

Talent is often a test as well.

And she had no one like herself around her to guide her.

She would then need a good teacher to teach her how to control her magic.

After thinking for a moment, Dekan asked:

“Zesterila, would you like to come with me to meet someone? He will teach you how to control your magic.”

He did know an expert in magic manipulation.

Seeing the priest readily agree, Zestellila nodded vigorously as well.

Is it far?

She asked.

She has never traveled far from home.

"It's a bit far, I have to go to my hometown. I'll confirm the itinerary with Cornelia for the next few days, and then I'll take you there."

Dekan glanced at Cornelia beside him, and Cornelia nodded in agreement.

They haven't been back to the Kingdom of Norton for a long time.

"Will he be a scary person?"

Zestellila's voice still sounded somewhat worried.

Having just experienced a fright, she appeared exceptionally vulnerable.

"He is the most gentle-tempered person I have ever met."

Dekan was certain.

"Ok."

Zestellila lowered her head and mumbled something, seemingly finally at ease.

Although she was still a little worried that the cloaked woman might reappear or be hiding right next to her, she thought that she would be safe as she could stay with the doctor for a while.

……

They watched as the priest led Zestellila away.

"If you take that child to see Chloeux, she'll know who you are, won't she?"

Cornelia asked.

"Uh, I tried my best to fool her."

Dekan thought for a moment and answered seriously.

Indeed, my past reputation had a few minor issues.

I don't know where the idea that stopping a baby's crying in the middle of the night came from.

It's rare that I've managed to build a slightly better relationship with this child.

During this time when Zestella's mind is most sensitive and vulnerable, what if she finds out that he is Dekan?

It might really scare her so much that she'd never dare to live anywhere in the world again...

"Trying to fool the kids again, huh?"
