C4 Chapter 4 Meikesi

Dawn Era 2367, Tulane Kingdom, Thunder Stone City

The dawn fog has dissipated, and the sun has descended on the earth again. At this time, normal city residents have already started working for today's livelihood.

In contrast, a white-haired girl had just struggled to get up from the warm bed.

In the past, the girl would never have dared to think that she would have such a day, where she could live a lazy life without struggling for survival. The girl who had just woken up seemed to be in a trance.

A pair of emerald green eyes were dazed, and there were a few white strands on her pink lips that might have caught on her mouth due to the difference in sleep.

After wandering in her mind for a while, the girl finally got out of bed. Since she was only wearing a pink suspender belt, a knee-length dress and underwear, a large area of her white and delicate skin was exposed to the air without any obstruction.

The girl stretched, and the two mounds on her chest rose slightly with her movement.

Maybe he heard the noise upstairs, but Lake's voice came from downstairs at the right time.

"Ina, wake up, aren't you going to attend the graduation ceremony today?"

"Oh" the girl named Ina responded lazily.

After a short wash, Ina put on a cotton coat and went down to the second floor.

She was the little girl that Lake saved on that late autumn evening five years ago. Over the past five years, under Lake's careful care and attention, the poor and low-self-esteem girl back then was no longer wary of others.

She opened her heart to Rick, and eventually they trusted each other, and Rick naturally became the girl's true guardian.

Of course, only Lake himself knows the ups and downs involved.

As for the so-called graduation ceremony, it refers to an activity in the private tutoring class where Ina attends to celebrate the completion of students' studies.

Compared with mediocre church schools with strong religious leanings, families with relatively well-off incomes and unable to afford private teachers generally choose to send their children to similar classes.

They mainly teach basic human common language, Kingdom language, Elvish language, mathematics, and some basic continental history and etiquette.

Fortunately, Ina's academic qualifications are not bad, and she obeys Lake's arrangements very hard.

She was considered outstanding in every course, and today, four years later, was her last day in the classroom.

When Ina walked into the hall with light steps, breakfast for two was already placed on the dining table, including fried eggs and bacon until the edges were browned, and sausages that were shiny with oil, which aroused appetite.

Lake sat on one side holding coffee and newspapers, waiting for Ina's arrival.

"I hate getting up early..." Ina sat down softly on her seat and picked up a piece of white bread, as if making a weak protest.

"That's not because you read too late last night." Lake said helplessly:

"That's not because you didn't teach me sword skills!" Ina took a vicious bite of the bread, her eyes swept over Lake, and she saw Lake's eyelids twitching.

"The use of magic power is completely different from the use of war breath."

"Besides, your swordsmanship foundation itself is not solid."

"I don't care! Then take me with you the next time you go hunting!" Ina put her hands together and looked at Lake angrily, with even a little mist in her eyes. If you are someone who doesn't understand what happened, It is very likely that he will conclude that Lake said something excessive to the girl.

"Okay, okay, as long as you pass the magician level certification or obtain the adventurer certificate, I will consider it." For Ina, it seemed like that. He was no longer surprised, so he just shook his head and took a sip of coffee.

"Eat quickly, Teacher Meikesi is still waiting."

Thunderstone City, Central Market

The morning market has begun, so the market is crowded with people, and the sound of hawking is pouring into people's ears one after another, torturing their eardrums and making it extremely noisy.

"I didn't expect that there would be so many people in the market... There weren't many when I came here before." The white-haired girl who was squeezed back to Lake by pedestrians couldn't help complaining:

"Because your little guy is a snooker," Rake couldn't laugh or cry.

A year ago, when Ina still went to school to study, she was already out the door after the bell tower rang the second bell after dawn. Compared to her, who was just about to go out in plain clothes, it was a huge difference.

"Perhaps it was a wrong decision to readily agree to suspend school at that time." Every time he thought about it, Lake, as a guardian, would inevitably feel a little regretful.

Suddenly the skin of his arm was pinched and hurt.

"Were you thinking of something very rude just now?" Ina's two little paws that were holding Lake's arm suddenly tightened.

"So how can I, a forty-year-old man, be rude to a silly girl like you?" Reike opened Ina's magic-strengthened claws and said with a headache: "Obviously, I was very well-behaved before... …”

Just like this, they left the Central Market and arrived at the east side of the city, the first destination of this trip.

Unlike the South District, where Lake and Ina live near the slums, the East District is the richest and busiest area in Thunderstone City, with more than 70% of the shops, pubs and hotels in Thunderstone City, and every year there will be Will contribute more than half of the city's tax revenue.

Suddenly, Ina quickened her pace and passed through the crowd. The cart carrying goods waved to a lady under a row of shops and said hello: "Teacher Meikesi!"
