Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

Maybe Isabella would know something.

In addition, people are also curious about what is hidden in the "Secret Room in the Mirror" of the Good Samaritan John... However, that is the death scene of the illegal supernatural being Marse, and it is currently blocked. To be on the safe side, Lor plans to investigate after the storm has passed.

Anyway, I have put away the mirror that serves as the entrance, so I can go there whenever I want.

Considering the financial status of John, the person who cleaned up the mess, there probably wasn't anything valuable in it, otherwise he wouldn't have to worry so much about the balance of 300 gold coins that he should have paid to "Ms. No. 19".

However, Lor did see books and other things in the secret room in the mirror, which might contain some valuable information and knowledge.

...In general, this incident ended smoothly.

Miles and his crew have been dealt with, and the cleanup man, John, is also considered dead and will no longer be pursued by the church... Nothing about me, Isabella, or the Dark Moon Society will be exposed.

By the way, I also got a convenient prop called "Master Key" and tested the practical application of "Misfortune Notes".

In addition, I helped my colleagues gain considerable credit.

Lor was thinking about various things in his mind and came to the black market.

The businessman who had been in contact with Miles was soon found and taken to the church.

"Master Exorcist, I haven't done anything wrong recently, have I? I promise!" The black market merchants were a little uneasy. "You know, I just sell gossip to support my family... I've never done anything illegal! I'm not even a transcendent!"

"Don't be nervous. I'm just asking you a few questions. Just cooperate." Luo Er smiled and looked at his face. "My friend, you don't look well. It seems like you have some illness..."

"Illness?" The black marketeer was horrified. "W-What disease? Is it serious?"

Under the influence of hypnosis, he had completely forgotten that he was poisoned by Miles.

"Don't be nervous. I happen to know some magic to exorcise evil spirits and heal illnesses." Lor continued, "I'll help you heal. Just think of it as me practicing my magic."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and cast a spell on him.

In fact, Miles didn't have any antidote on him at all, and it was impossible for him to keep his promise and decipher the antidote for the black market businessman in a few days... How could that cruel guy be so kind?

Fortunately, the poison was not complicated, and Lor, who was already a second-level exorcist, could completely help him get rid of it.

"Okay." Lor said.

At the same time, he clearly felt that the power of holy light in his body had become more abundant... It seemed that this black market businessman had not done anything too bad. Saving his life could be regarded as practicing the creed of "salvation and protection."

So far, Lor has mastered nine second-level divine arts.

There is only one step left to reach the ten requirements for promotion to the third level.

"At this rate, I should be able to meet the requirements after completing two or three more 'Praise the Holy Light' missions," Lor thought.

……

Just as he handed the black market merchant to Joyce, he saw Captain Rhonina coming towards him.

"Lor, come with me to Palmer City tomorrow morning," she said succinctly. "We need to hand over the 'Shadow Gap Moment' we seized today to the diocesan headquarters. Then, Bishop Helm will personally treat your injuries."

"Eh? But, weren't you originally planning to leave for the Holy City tomorrow?" Lor was slightly stunned.

"It's okay to take a short detour. Things here are more pressing," Captain Rhonina replied. "While your injury isn't serious, it still worries me... I need to see you healed by the Bishop with my own eyes before I can go to the Holy City with peace of mind."

"Okay, I understand." Lor nodded. Feeling the concern in the captain's eyes, he felt a little touched.

Speaking of which, I'm about to meet the requirements for promotion... I'll take this opportunity to go to the diocesan headquarters and be promoted to the third level.

Lor thought.

However, we have to leave early tomorrow morning, which is quite tight... And this time we're traveling with Captain Roninna, so it's not easy for Isabella and Meimei to follow...

In other words, the "date" we had agreed on earlier can only take place tonight.

After all, I don’t know how long it will take me to come back this time.

If it takes too long, my eldest daughter will be angry.

"Ahem, Captain, I actually have something I want to ask you..." Lor hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What do you think constitutes the 'most romantic date'?"

"Lor, Lor, isn't it pointless to ask her?" the wise voice in his head suddenly commented, "Your captain is usually so serious, and she's already quite old, yet she doesn't even have a partner. It's obvious she's not into this kind of thing! What decent advice can she give you?"

Hey.

It's so rude of you to speak to our captain like that!

Lor complained in his heart.

I thought so too, so I didn't have any hope...

"Oh? A romantic date?" Captain Rhonina raised her eyebrows slightly. "I see. You want to please your fiancée, right? If that's the case, I have something good that might be able to help you."

……Eh?

Lor was stunned.

"What's your reaction?" Captain Rhonina narrowed her eyes slightly at Lor's expression. "You must be thinking, 'I'm not young anymore and I'm still single, so I must know nothing about dating, right?'"

"That's absolutely not the case! Captain!"

Lor stood at attention unconsciously, his back straight.

29. Care about the suffering of the people

Evening, 15 Oak Street.

Roland, the doll, covered his glass eyes with his hands, leaned his forehead against the tree trunk, and recited in a perfunctory tone: "Ninety-eight... ninety-nine... one hundred... Are you hiding? I'm going to start looking for someone."

Tsk, I’m a wanted criminal with a lot of evil deeds, the “Black Mamba Roland”!

It’s fine that I’m forced to be a “live-in servant” by a young couple, but why do they want me to take care of their children now?

It’s so deceiving!

...Although, I am indeed good at taking care of children.

Ten years ago, the little girl who originally lived in this house also asked me to play house with her all day long... Although I don't want to admit it, I am indeed very experienced in coaxing children.

Moreover, putting aside her identity as a "dragon", Meimei is just a little girl who can't even speak clearly.

This uncle is just a master!

Doll Roland glanced across the entire courtyard and quickly discovered Meimei's hiding place... That tuft of blue hair peeking out from behind the bushes was too obvious.

Roland showed a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth, but he did not run directly towards Meimei.

"Hey? Where did Meimei hide? She hid too well. I can't find her at all!" It muttered to itself as it walked around in circles, sometimes lifting up the trash can in the yard, and sometimes circling around the big tree.

Hide and seek.

The game is all about tension and heartbeat.

It would be no fun if we were caught too early. If Meimei gets bored, I would have to think of new ways to coax her... The same goes for Lor and Isabella. They disappear early in the morning and haven't come back for almost the whole day!

How do these parents act like this?

Alas, I've been so worried and heartbroken! Without me, this family would have broken up sooner or later!

As Roland was thinking this, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the direction of the courtyard gate. He turned around and saw Isabella coming back with a newspaper in her hand, looking thoughtful.

"Sister Isabella!" Meimei immediately jumped out from behind the bushes and rushed over happily.

"Well, Meimei, be good." Isabella rubbed the little girl's head and said softly, "I'm sorry, I couldn't accompany you all day today. Did you feel bored?"

"No! Roland is playing with Meimei!"

"Well, can you play with Roland for a while longer? I still have some things to do..."

"Okay!" Meimei nodded obediently.

"Come again? I haven't even mopped the floor today..." Roland wanted to complain, but when he saw Isabella's dark red eyes and smiling expression, he immediately shuddered. "Okay, okay, I'll just continue playing with her... Well, Meimei, you ran out on your own just now, so you've admitted defeat. It's your turn to come find me next!"

At the same time, Isabella took the newspaper and sat down at the tea table in the yard.

...Actually, she didn't have anything important to do.

In Isabella's view, the illegal transcendent Miles and his group were just a minor incident. Thanks to Lor's clever arrangement, the matter had been perfectly resolved. Moreover, the mark left on him by the "Shadow Spirit" was not serious, and the Holy Light Church had a way to treat it.

All in all, nothing to worry about.

After Miles died, Isabella wanted to go straight home.

But on the way, when she passed a newsboy waving a newspaper and shouting, she happened to see something in the newspaper that concerned her a lot, so she bought a copy.

"A happy and perfect home is created by you!"

Isabella opened the newspaper, glanced at the title of one of the articles, and read it silently in her mind.

This appears to be an advertisement.

Ladies and gentlemen, do you long for a warm and happy family and a happy and beautiful life? Then reach out and grab it! Sign up for Mrs. Marty's Home Economics Class!

"Our main instructor, Mrs. Marty, has been working in this field for decades and is committed to helping every housewife and soon-to-be housewife! Our courses are rich and practical, covering everything from family financial planning, cooking and sewing skills, to communication skills for couples, and even tips for creating a fun night out!"

Tips for spice up your night out…

Isabella blushed when she read this.

She shook her head, trying to get rid of all the wild thoughts in her mind, and continued reading:

"What are you still hesitating about? Come and sign up for 'Mrs. Marty's Home Economics Class'! We will teach you how to be a spiritual pillar for your husband or loved one, and how to turn your home into a warm haven filled with love and laughter!"

Become the spiritual support of your loved one...

Isabella pursed her lips slightly, her eyes revealing excitement and anticipation.

The registration fee is only three gold coins, quite cheap...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel moved.

It seems that the main audience of this course is urban middle-class housewives and young girls waiting to get married... The course content seems to be quite practical, and is something Isabella has never encountered before.

You know, she comes from a noble family.

The courses I took at home were all high-end, like asset management, grammar, poetry, and art appreciation. As for cooking, sewing, and childrearing… come on, that's not something a noble lady could possibly learn.

"I'm free anyway, so why not sign up?" she thought. "Lor has work to do during the day, and when he comes home at night he has to help us cook dinner and take care of all the living expenses. It's quite hard... If I can help..."

However, this matter must be kept secret from Lor.

If he knew that I, as the "master", actually cared so much about my family and even wanted to lower my status to take some home economics courses and become his good wife... wouldn't that be too embarrassing?

Although, if I really took this course, I wouldn't be able to keep it a secret forever...

Woo woo, what should I do!

The eldest lady held her shy cheeks with both hands, feeling quite distressed.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a stir in her heart. She could sense that her follower, Lor, was approaching... Hey, why did that guy come back so soon? Is everything settled?

"I brought dinner back." Lor walked into the courtyard, carrying a basket filled with various foods. "Freshly baked bread, freshly grilled steaks, and fruits and vegetables...all of which are Meimei's favorites."

"No dessert?" Isabella curled her lips slightly.

"No." Lor said with a smile.

"Well, you, my follower, are really looking down on me more and more!"

Isabella slammed the table and thought with some resentment in her heart, "Lor, you big idiot, I always think about you, but you don't even bring me dessert!"

Humph, I won’t be your good wife anymore!

However, at this moment, Lor rummaged in his arms, and then suddenly took out a large bouquet of flowers like a magic trick.

"I'll take you out for dessert later." Lor, quite gentlemanly, presented the bouquet to Isabella, who looked rather surprised, and said softly, "Miss, would you be willing to honor me and go on a date with me tonight?"

"Date?"

Isabella's heart blossomed. She reached out to take the bouquet, then blushed and looked away, moaning:

"……it is good."

At the same time, on the other side of the courtyard, Roland, who was playing with Meimei, whistled softly.

Meimei tilted her head in confusion:

"Roland, Roland, what does a date mean?"

"What I mean is... uh, even though one of them is human and the other is vampire, I'm not sure if it can work out..." Roland replied, "But maybe after a while, you'll have a brother or sister."

Before he could finish his words, he heard the eldest lady's roar:

"Roland, don't teach Meimei weird things!"
