ot know his true identity as a member of the Restoration Sect.So even though Lynch and Huberlian clearly seemed to be on Fremont's team, they still couldn't gain the trust of the other nine people."…"...Chapter 237: Rance's New Journey

When the gentle, black-haired youth placed his hand against the door handle of the Cat Boss Restaurant, a series of bells jingled merrily, "Ding ding ding," as if welcoming him.

The moment he pushed open the door, a refreshing scent of fruit tea wafted towards him, mingling with the chill winter air, leaving him feeling both invigorated and comfortable.

Lanche carried a small suitcase and stepped into the Cat Boss Restaurant.

Before Lancelot even began to survey the room, he saw Huberlian and Talya waiting for him at a table near the entrance on the first floor.

The afternoon sun lazily slanted across the wooden table by the window.

Taliya held her chin in one hand and gazed out the window, glancing at Lance once before turning her attention away from him as she usually did.

Hubleyan, cradling a small black cat in one hand and holding her suitcase with the other, smiled brightly as she approached Ranch.

Outside the window, the wind chimes under the eaves rang again, as if whispering to him softly, "You're here."

"Ranch, shall we depart now"

She had not left the capital many times since she was a child.

Although she had gone out so far, she was still a little nervous.

But thinking about it carefully, it's just like the shadow world.

The shadow world is just an ultra-long trip without the return journey…

"Well, we have plenty of time."

Ranch checked their train tickets again and replied.

After a moment of silence, his gaze shifted to the small black cat in Huberly's hand.

Are you taking Cat Boss with you

Lance saw that Huberlian wasn't planning on letting go of the black kitten, and asked in confusion.

The cat boss said it also wanted to go on a trip.

Hubert looked at the cat boss.

Whether it can be brought depends on Ranch's opinion.

"Meow! Although I'm weak, I'm a genuine seventh-order spirit beast!"

The cat boss's tail was held high with pride.

Young boys and girls set off on a journey. It wants to take a good look!

And the people it raised were too weird.

Take one look, then another...

"Um..."

Lan Qi heard this and looked troubled.

"Lanchi, Huberlian... Have I caused you trouble... I can cook for you, take care of you..."

The cat boss asked in a timid and childish voice.

He is very good at taking care of people.

No, I was thinking about which kind of ticket to get you.

A law-abiding ranch would never do something like skipping out on their tickets.

He started to agonize over whether he should buy a child ticket or an adult ticket for the cat owner, or perhaps pay pet/luggage handling fees.

The seven-tailed spirit cat, it's truly difficult to tell what kind it belongs to.

"I can feel like you're thinking about some impolite things…"

The cat boss was stunned for a moment, then mumbled to himself.

Hebetian shook her head.

This guy is like this.

He often manages to express his most impolite thoughts in the most polite way.

But on second thought, if you could have a chef accompany you on a trip, it would be absolutely wonderful.

Previously, in the Shadow World of the Sanctuary, thankfully the young master's bodyguard siblings were very skilled at cooking. Otherwise, with none of them particularly good at cooking, the next four days would have definitely been much less pleasant.

And don't worry too much about the safety of the cat boss.

Although its battle strength is extremely weak, its innate magic [Shadow Veil] is a very powerful self-preservation skill. It belongs to a composite magic of the dark and space attributes. As long as the host is alive, it is almost safe from danger.

In this world, it's rare to encounter a being with spatial magic affinity even over a hundred years. Space magic is rarely documented, and only certain races have the chance of obtaining it when they reach the sixth level and draw their talents.

But what about your shop

Lanci thought to herself that the Cat Boss Restaurant was always short-staffed. With their head chef gone, how could they possibly operate normally

"I've handed it over to Asna and Tatta! Asna is my student now, and the two of them will run this shop well!"

The cat boss jumped onto Lance's shoulders with a leap, saying triumphantly.

"Asna, senior sister, that's reliable,"

Since last time, Ranchi and Huberlian borrowed Asana's desserts to visit Tallia.

Later, Talia gave it a very high rating.

Ashna asked Huberlian to continue bringing new snacks for Talia. Back and forth, Huberlian brought Ashna to the Cat Boss restaurant and had her personally interact with Talia. Determined to become a top chef, Ashna quickly became acquainted with Talia, the food critic.

Now that the Ikere Academy is on holiday, Asuna, who is the vice president of the student council, doesn't have much work to do. During her holidays, she had originally planned to focus on improving her culinary skills.

"Aren't you still friends with someone named Monaster"

The cat boss asked again.

"Yeah, he's our chairman."

Ranche didn't know how Master Monast had gotten to know the Cat Boss.

“Monaster can be trusted, he’s still the business prodigy from Chain Gold Academy. He said he thanks me for taking care of Asuna. While I'm gone these few months, he'll also help out and do his best to improve the restaurant business meow...”

The cat boss happily said,

I can't help but imagine that when I get back, sales might increase by 20%!

"...."

Lanche heard this and didn't say much.

Then you can look forward to it.

Hope it won't become a cat boss bank then.

It seems that Tata also has friends to keep her company most of the time when he and Huberlian are away.

Unknowingly, Tata was living more and more like an ordinary person in the capital.

...Lanchi was a little worried that Asana as the head chef and Tata as the face of the restaurant might not work out. Asana loves to cook, and Tata loves to eat – what if Tata would take advantage of the tasting opportunity and eat all the ingredients before the restaurant even opened ...

> "…"

Talya raised her eyes to glance at Lance, but said nothing.

That's it.

At the front desk by the entrance, Lance chatted with Boss Cat for a while.

Then goodbye, tata.

Ranche and Huberlian stood at the shop door, waving to Talia who was sitting not far away.

Goodbye.

Tallia still had the same attitude as always.

"……"

But after she finished speaking, she seemed to hesitate a little.

Lan Qi smiled and gripped the handle of the doorknob, not pressing down for a long time, as if waiting for something.

Finally.

Tallia stood up and walked quickly over to hug Huberlian.

"Tata"

Hueberlian's lips parted in surprise, and then she slowly placed her hand on Tatta's slender back, closing her eyes contentedly with a slight smile playing on her lips.

"……"

Tallia remained silent, only stroking Huberlian's hair.

It is said that when a human mother bids farewell to her daughter, she can give her a hug.

But what should she say at this time, she didn't understand.

Without wasting time, Talia released Hubrian.

"Lanchi, Huberlian, be careful on your way."

Taliya looked at the two of them and added.

"Well, don't worry, Tata."

"Great!"

Lanche grinned at Talia.

This old woman is becoming more and more humane.

He finally opened the shop door and left the restaurant with Huberlyan and the cat boss.

The empty shop fell silent all at once.

"..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

However.

After Lanche and Huberly disappeared, Talia stood there, frowning.

"Old... what..."

Talya's lips moved slightly as she whispered.

"... I still can't hear very well..."

Never mind.

It won't be long before you master the ability to read minds.

She'll be able to hear that boy's little thoughts in no time.

……

The sound of horses' hooves echoed in the streets of Ecthelion, carriage wheels rumbling as they passed, while the noise from the city center gradually faded away.

Afternoon sunlight streamed onto the gently swaying tourist carriage. Lanche and Huberlian would reach the central station of Ictere before nightfall.

From afar, one can see ripples rippling across the winding canal water, reflecting the setting sun.

Actually, they haven't toured the royal city of Ikereth together yet.

After relaxing now, this ancient city with a modern pulse feels especially wonderful.

After leaving Ikater, they would use the new identities that had been prepared.

Huberlian's disguise is the same black hair and dark eyes as her father, Duke Mygaya. Ranchi chose the light brown hair color of Headmaster Lauren, but did not change his own eye color.

As for the pseudonym, Huberlian decided to call herself Miliann, borrowing the initial syllables of her father's name.

And Lanchi still named him Lucky, in homage to Dr. Lauren, just like her naming way.

Although Huberleyan saw through this incident that Ranch admired Lauren, she always felt that Ranch's imitation of Lauren was not a good thing...

"Ranch, I will keep an eye on you."

Huperlyan, holding a small black cat thoughtfully, finally turned her head to glance at Lance and said seriously.

"You've always believed in me, and that makes me feel so secure."

Lan Qi leisurely leaned back in her chair, the sunset sky a blur of color across her vision.

Hubley paused for a moment.

"Of course I'll have your back in battle, that's a promise I made when we first teamed up. But even outside of combat, I'll be keeping an eye on you, won't let you get into trouble!"

She explained to Lance in a clear and organized manner the various meanings of "look".

Support him, but don't let him run wild. Of course, you should also wholeheartedly help him at crucial moments.

"How could I possibly be reckless... "

Lancelot smiled and looked towards Huberlian.

At this moment, her cheeks and the sky behind her were a blend of pink and orange. Her eyes held the shimmering beauty of autumn water, radiant and captivating. She didn't need any lights to shine; even in the softest glow, she sparkled. In her golden hour, time itself seemed to pause for her.

"But... if you think I'm going crazy, just remind me."

Lan Chi's gaze returned to the road ahead, and he continued.

Although he is ambitious and steadfast, he is not a stubborn person. Huberlian is his reliable companion, and he will certainly listen to her opinion carefully.

But all of that is a long way off.

All that needs to be known right now is——

Their brand new journey to the North Continent is about to begin!

——
