Chapter 1386: Could You Bring Me Along?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After the breakfast service, Mag looked at Gloria, who was sitting in the corner of the restaurant, and told Yabemiya, “Miya, could you please bring Jane back to the dormitory? I have added a few more rooms in the dormitory. Let her choose the one she likes.”
“Alright.” Miya nodded, and took Jane’s hand naturally as she asked, “Jane, do you need to take anything with you?”
“No.” Jane shook her head. She looked at her hand that was being held by Miya. The warmth that came from her palm made her heart accelerate a little, but it also made her feel safe and warm.
“Let’s go and see the new room that the boss has prepared for you. We will be living together in the future.” Miya smiled and they left holding hands, with Elizabeth and the rest accompanying them.
Irina went out after breakfast. The Night Elves needed her to handle some things personally, for example conscripting those elves whom they’d brought back last night into the Night Elves, baptizing them mentally, and reestablishing their faith and motivation.
Hence, only Mag and Gloria were left in the restaurant.
Mag made a pot of black tea and sat down opposite of Gloria. He poured a cup of it, and placed it in front of her. The red tea liquid was trembling a little in the cup as the steam rose up.
“Thank you.” Gloria smiled at Mag.
“You’re very welcome.” Mag smiled in return. Sitting with Gloria made him feel very comfortable, as if he was having tea with an old friend.
“The down jacket is very beautiful and much better than I expected. You look very nice in it,” Mag praised as he looked at the down jacket on Gloria. Initially, he had still been worried that the tailors might make it bulky and ugly, but judging from the effects on Gloria, no matter if it was the fixing of down filling or the style, it had fulfilled all his requirements on the drawing.
Judging from how the wealthy ladies stared at Gloria during meal time, it would be a highly sought-after piece of garment after it was released.
A blush rose up on Gloria’s face after she heard Mag’s praise, but she continued to maintain her grace as she said, “Mr. Mag’s drawing is very accurate and precise, and the tailors have great skills. That’s why we could make such exceptional clothes.”
“Isn’t it even more formidable that we managed to have two bosses like us?” Mag smiled.
Gloria’s blush deepened. She bit on her lips as she didn’t know how to answer.
“When will this batch of down jackets be released into the market?” Mag asked. He didn’t continue to tease her.
“The first batch of products is almost complete. After the manual checks, they will be stocked in the stores. However, there are only 50 pieces in the first batch, so they will be sold out very fast,” Gloria answered.
“Timeliness is very important for down jackets. Let’s release a few more batches before the winter is over. Otherwise, we will have to wait for next year’s winter.”
“Mm-hm.” Gloria nodded.
Silence suddenly descended on them. As the restaurant had the heater on, Gloria undid her down jacket’s button. However, her face was a little flushed. Her gaze was fixed on the teacup in front of her, and the steam was rising up slowly.
“Where have you been in the past few days, Mr. Mag?” Gloria asked Mag curiously as she looked up. She had never been out on a trip. She only knew about the world beyond Chaos City from books, and had never had the chance to experience it for herself.
“I went to the goblins’ Vic Mountain, and then continued northward till the exterior of the Wind Forest. I stayed in the mountains for a few days.” Mag smiled. He felt rather apologetic that he had to lie to Gloria as he had to keep his whereabouts a secret.
“The goblins!” Gloria’s eyes lit up as she curiously asked, “Are their underground caverns really all connected? I have read in the books before that Vic Mountain has underground caverns and caves everywhere, and we would be lost in them forever if we ventured in without a goblin guiding us.”
“We didn’t go into the Vic Mountain’s underground caverns, because we were afraid we would get lost. However, we did see many underground caverns when we continued northwards, and we did attempt to go in and explore...” Mag described to Gloria about what he’d seen and heard during his previous trip to save the Night Elves because he saw that Gloria was very interested. All these things were what he had seen with his own eyes. Even though they weren’t any thrilling stories, Gloria still enjoyed them tremendously, and looked at Mag with an adoring gaze.
She’s an excellent listener, Mag lamented in his heart. If he could tell her about the Demon Islands’ trip, he would probably receive very good feedback from her.
“This was such a dangerous and interesting trip.” Gloria couldn’t help praising after Mag finished about his imaginary trip.
“If you want to go to the goblins’ territory for a trip, Gloria, maybe it will be very convenient very soon,” Mag smilingly said to Gloria who had anticipation written all over her face. The railroad toward the goblins would be up and running very soon, and then it would be very convenient to go to Vic Mountain from Chaos City by steam train.
“I have never traveled alone for a long distance before.” A hint of hesitation appeared on Gloria’s face.
“I suggest you don’t travel alone. It’s very dangerous for a beautiful young mistress like you to travel alone.” Mag nodded. She would most likely be abducted as soon as she left Chaos City if she traveled alone.
After all, it was very rare on the market to find such a beautiful and easy-to-abduct young maiden.
This was a dangerous world after all.
Gloria remained silent for a moment before gathering up her courage to ask Mag something. She softly said, “Then, could Mr. Mag bring me along when you go out searching for new ingredients again? In that case, I wouldn’t be alone.”
(キ`゚Д゚ ́)!!
Mag stared at Gloria in shock. He didn’t expect she would make a reasonable request like this.
Facing a travel invitation from a single beautiful maiden, as a normal man, of course he should accept it without any hesitation!
But being a married man with a kid, after making some mental preparation when confronted with such an unreasonable request, Mag smilingly said, “Alright, Gloria, I will ask you to come along for the restaurant’s next team-building excursion.”
“With everyone else?” A hint of disappointment flashed across Gloria’s eyes, but her eyes swiftly brightened up again, and she nodded with a smile. “Mm-hm. I will definitely go if Mr. Mag invites me.”
The morning tea session ended with the pleasant conversation. Mag saw Gloria out of the door, and just as he was about to back go in, he saw a man in black standing at a corner.
“Mr. Mag, the lord invites you to the temple.” The man in black gave Mag a black amulet with the Gray Temple’s logo.
“Alright.” Mag cocked an eyebrow. Maybe Rolan had found out something? However, Mag didn’t show anything on his face as he kept that amulet and nodded. He locked the doors, hailed a horse-drawn carriage, and headed straight toward the street next to the Gray Temple’s headquarters. He alighted from the carriage and walked to the Gray Temple.
This was perfect as he, too, wanted to know what changes happened in this world after they wreaked havoc on the Demon Islands.
