Oleg told Jiang Ran that Emilia's parents were both fox magicians. They were not only Oleg's best friends, but also good partners in battle.
Later, the fox tribe was affected by the war. Emilia's parents could not abandon their home, but they could not bear to take young Emilia back, so they entrusted Emilia to Oleg.
After that, there was no news of Emilia's parents.
As the days of separation from her parents grew longer, Emilia gradually "lost" her emotions, and by the time Oleg discovered the problem, Emilia could no longer smile.
Later, Oleg heard rumors that the fox tribe was razed to the ground by the demon army, and he didn't have the heart to tell Emilia.
However, there is no impenetrable wall. After knowing the truth, Emilia did not cry or make a fuss, but just quietly became an even more emotionless person.

4.17 - Emilia's Life (Part )
When she was 13 years old, Emilia began to follow Oleg to do commissioned tasks.
Emilia, who inherited her parents' talents, soon awakened to the magician's combat profession.
However, when she reached the advancement bottleneck of level 20, faced with a trial that could cost her life, Emilia chose to give up.
Oleg could guess the reason. The departure of his parents left a deep shadow on Emilia.
It is understandable that she fears dangerous battles and death.
It happened that at that time, Oleg retired from the front line and was hired as the branch director of the Task Union, so Emilia followed him and changed careers to become a front desk staff.
At that time, the reward hunters were somewhat hostile to Emilia's subhuman identity, but under Oleg's protection, no one dared to do anything to Emilia.
Later, Emilia relied on her outstanding business skills and increasingly charming appearance to not only resolve the hostility of others, but also made the reward hunters in Sunny Town become her supporters.
To this day, if an outsider wants to cause trouble for Emilia, the people in the union will stand up to protect her.
This is the story of Emilia.
At the end of his words, Oleg reminded Jiang Ran intentionally or unintentionally, and Jiang Ran still remembers it clearly.
——"Among them is a young man named Nassar, who is eagerly pursuing Emilia."
The speaker has intention, and the listener takes it even more seriously. Jiang Ran knew that this was Oleg reminding him.
(Whether it’s Grandma Kana… or Grandpa Oleg… the elderly are really sensitive to emotions.)

When it was time to get off work, under the moonlight, Jiang Ran saw Emilia walking out of the door of the Mission Union.
Jiang Ran immediately went downstairs and followed her. He looked at Emilia's big fluffy tail from afar, which swayed as she walked, and his heart was a little bit excited.
It would surely be very comfortable if I could hold that big tail and touch and rub it! ——Such a thought never occurred to Jiang Ran.
Afterwards, Jiang Ran followed Emilia all the way to buy vegetables, chat with the old grandfathers and grandmothers, water the dying flowers on the roadside, and finally returned home.
This tracking allowed Jiang Ran to obtain two important pieces of information:
1. Emilia is used to cooking for herself;
2. Emilia's home address;
As for what Emilia does at home, that is not something Jiang Ran can see.
·
The tracking came to an end, and Jiang Ran used the night time to hunt in the outskirts of Sunny Town.
Relying on his identification ability, he killed a chipmunk and a wolverine in three hours, gained 160 points of production career experience, and returned home with a full load.
━━━━━━━━━━
Production Occupation: Hunter - Lv3
Experience: 50+160↑ / 800
━━━━━━━━━━
The next morning, Jiang Ran woke up early and used some of his magic power to brush up his skills as usual, upgrading the "Trickster" to level 9.
━━━━━━━━━━
Wisdom attribute: 86+10↑
Maximum magic power: 860+100↑
━━━━━━━━━━
Jiang Ran had a hunch that when the skill reached level 10, there might be some different improvements.
But now, he has to hurry to Emilia's house. Today he will start tracking and monitoring Emilia from the moment she leaves the house.
By the way, Jiang Ran does not encourage the use of this type of stalking and surveillance method. Firstly, it is unethical, and secondly, it is not very legal.
If it weren't for the fact that time was running out, he wouldn't be willing to use such an extreme method.

[Confession death countdown remaining: 7 days]
━━━━━━━━━━
Jiang Ran thought he had arrived very early, but he didn't expect Emilia to leave even earlier.
Fortunately, Jiang Ran saw Emilia on the street and followed her in time.
Early in the morning, Emilia went to the tailor shop and stayed there for about half an hour before coming out.
When she came out, Jiang Ran found that the fluffy hair on her tail was much less. Then, the tailor handed a bag of money to Emilia at the door. It turned out that she had sold the hair on her tail for money.
After getting the money, Emilia went to the market and bought a lot of dry food that could be stored for a long time, and then walked alone to a remote residential area.
Jiang Ran saw that with Emilia's arrival, some women in the residential area came out with their children.
It is not difficult to tell from their ragged clothes and sallow and thin appearance that these people are living in a precarious situation.
Jiang Ran even heard children telling adults that they saw fat mice at night and they could catch them and eat them.
The purpose of Emilia's visit was to distribute the dry food she had just bought to these people.
"Thank you! Sister Emilia!"
"Sister Emilia, can you touch my head?"
"I want me too!"
The children all liked Emilia very much, and Emilia also smiled and mingled with them.
Yes, Emilia smiled. This was the first time Jiang Ran saw her smile. It turned out that she looked best when she smiled.
(…She is just like me before; her true “heart” is still alive.)
Jiang Ran carefully walked forward for a distance until his identification ability was able to confirm the identities of these poor people.
As Jiang Ran expected, these poor people were all demi-humans disguised as ordinary humans.
Among them were deer people, cat people, snake people, and so on. It seemed that people in distress had gathered together to help each other.
(The branch manager probably doesn't know about this, right?)
(In fact, if they seek help from the branch manager, these people might be able to get stable jobs to support themselves... Why doesn't Emilia do this?)
Jiang Ran continued to follow Emilia with doubts.
After helping the poor demi-humans, Emilia went to the quest guild on time, so Jiang Ran returned to the hotel, observing and brushing up on his skills, and also posted a second little fox outside the window.
After Emilia got off work, Jiang Ran continued to follow and monitor her.
Today, Emilia did the same as yesterday: she bought groceries, chatted, and went home to cook.
(Benni: Oh my god, she doesn’t have any hobbies? Isn’t it like this every day?)
The silly loli was stunned, and Jiang Ran was also a little surprised by Emilia's life routine of going to and from school.
But Jiang Ran felt that it was impossible for a person to live without any hobbies. As long as he continued to observe, he would make different discoveries sooner or later.
But... the remaining time is becoming increasingly urgent.
·

That night, Jiang Ran came to the Cat Girl Restaurant as usual. He was already very familiar with the place.
Just as he was about to sit down, someone suddenly called him from behind.
"Banning!"
(This sound is...)
Jiang Ran turned around and saw that it was Malik, the leader of the traveling caravan!
"Mr. Malick! When did you arrive?"
"I just arrived tonight. I didn't expect to run into you right away!"
As the two were talking, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky and hugged Jiang Ran's head with a "Woooooooooo!"
"elder brother!"
“Brother! Brother! Brother!!!”
Jiang Ran knew it was Tochini right away because of its soft and fluffy feeling and milky flavor.
Only Tokini's "Flying and Head-Killing" will not trigger the attack judgment of the Super-Dimensional God's Eye.
"Hahahahaha~ Tokini is such an amazing kid...Banning, we are truly destined to be together."
Then, Grandma Cathy came over with a smile.
Jiang Ran felt very cordial when he saw everyone, but after he saw what was in Grandma Cassie's heart, his originally warm heart instantly turned cold.
——(Finally I found you, Benning. The Earth Ghost is waiting for me to report the coordinates to it.)
4.18 - About Magic
(Earth ghost?)
(coordinate?)
Although it was just a psychological activity of one sentence, it allowed Jiang Ran to infer a lot of information.
Combined with the information Jiang Ran had read from Grandma Cassie's mind before, he was already certain that Grandma Cassie was not only not a companion, but also an enemy.
She will then sell her "information" to the guy called "Earth Ghost".
Judging from the name "it", the "earth ghost" is most likely a monster.
(…No, it should be the demons, the intelligent demons.)
Jiang Ran thought that all the reasoning up to this point was reasonable.
The only thing that made him think there was a problem was: why would Grandma Cassie investigate him for no reason?
To be more precise: Why do the demons want to investigate me?
(Is it because of the incident in Shadou Canyon?)
(No, the one who defeated the Shadow Devouring Rock Demon was Viviana. If there's any investigation going on, it should be her, not me...)
Jiang Ran thought about it and felt that there was only one possibility.
That means his identity as a "time traveler" may have been exposed, or he is being suspected.
(My situation... has become so dangerous without me even realizing it...)
Jiang Ran's worst premonition came true. The enemy who released the giant pillar of fire in Ella Village was still chasing him a month later.
