After retiring, I became Loli’s magic mentor

Elf settlement, Ivy's home.

Ivy got up very early today. After washing and having breakfast, she started tinkering with a tree branch at home.

If you look carefully, you can find that this branch contains very essence of magic power and is a rare and rare top-level magic material.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

There was a knock on the door, and Ivy, who was carving branches with a knife, said without raising her head: "Please come in!"

After the words fell, the door was pushed open, and Lily entered the room with a whoosh. She was about to speak to Ivy, but she couldn't help but silenced when she saw Ivy focusing on carving.

In this way, Lily stared at Ivy for a long time. Ivy seemed to have forgotten that a guest had entered her home, and was still concentrating on carving on the branches.

If you look carefully, you can see that what Ivy carved on the branch is a lifelike giant bird with wings spread. Its charm reminds Lily... of the fire phoenix summoned by Ryan when he was fighting against the insect swarm.

Seemingly tired from sculpting, Ivy raised her head and rubbed her neck.

Seeing Lily in front of her, Ivy was stunned for a moment, looking very surprised: "Sister Lily, when did you come in?"

Lily: "...when you carve the bird's head."

"Ah...oh!"

Ivy thought about it for a while, and then suddenly realized that someone had knocked on the door not long ago.

Then, Ivy scratched the back of her head with a smile: "I'm sorry, Sister Lily, I'm too absorbed."

Lily looked strangely and said, "Are you...making a bow for Mr. Lane?"

Hearing this, Ivy's cheeks turned red for a moment: "Sister Lily, how did you...see it?"

"Because I think the pattern on the bow looks very similar to the fire phoenix summoned by Mr. Lane."

Lily said: "Besides, you always make silly giggles from time to time when carving, so I thought you should give this to Mr. Lane."

"Ah...is this...so obvious?"

Ivy's cheeks turned redder.

"besides……"

Looking at the branch in Ivy's hand, Lily said with a strange expression: "If I read this branch correctly, it is actually a branch of the eternal branch, right? How did you get it?"

"Ah, this."

Looking at the branch in her hand, Ivy said with a smile: "Since I finished practicing bow and arrow with Mr. Lane last time, I have always wanted to make a bow for Mr. Lane, but I have never been able to find good magic materials, so I So I went to see Grandpa Harold.”

"Did Grandpa Harold give you this branch?"

Lily blinked. Even if he made a bow and gave it to Mr. Lane, Grandpa Harold probably wouldn't give this task to young Ivy, right? There are definitely elven craftsmen in the village who can make even better bows.

"No...even if Grandpa Harold had it, he probably wouldn't give it to me, right?"

Ivy also understood this truth and replied:

"After Grandpa Harold found out, he took me to the Eternal Branch and asked me to make my request to the Eternal Branch. After the Eternal Branch listened, he gladly gave me a branch!"

Having said this, Ivy looked very happy:

"Since the branch was delivered to me, this bow can only be made by myself and given to Mr. Lane. I also know that my skills cannot be compared with those of the craftsmen uncles, but... I still want to make it. Give the most outstanding elf bow to Mr. Lane!"

"Oh……"

Lily nodded suddenly.

The reason why Eternal Branch is willing to give the materials to Ivy, on the one hand, is probably because the bow made by Ivy is to be given to Mr. Lane, and on the other hand, it should be because Eternal Branch is aware of Ivy's feelings for Mr. Lane.

The eternal branch is the lifeblood and totem of their elf community. Just like the innate abilities of most elves, it is particularly sensitive to pure emotions. The purer the emotions you have, the easier it is to win the favor of the eternal branch. .

It seems that Ivy's feelings for Mr. Lane are real...

Thinking about this, Lily said quietly: "Ivy, do you know?"

"Sister Lily, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Lane...has already done it with Sister Fanny."

"Do? What are you doing?"

Ivy blinked her pure eyes and asked simply.

Lily: "..."

After brewing for a moment, Lily took a deep breath and said seriously: "Do it!"

"Eh?"

Ivy was stunned for a moment: "Doing...is...that kind of thing? It's what you said, sister Lily, what lovers should do..."

Lily nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

"..."

Time in the room seemed to have stopped and fell into silence.

"This...is like this..."

After a moment of stunned silence, Ivy lowered her head and looked at the branch in her hand, her mood visibly starting to get lower.

After silently stroking the half-carved fire phoenix on the branch for a long time, Ivy whispered:

"Ah...Sister Fanny, you are so powerful. If that's the case, shouldn't I...should not bother them anymore?"

Lily: "?"

No, your feelings can be favored by the eternal branches! Why are you giving up now?

Stepping forward quickly, Lily, who was standing, put her hands on the shoulders of Ivy, who was sitting there: "Ivy, what do you mean by this?"

"Shouldn't Mr. Lane and Sister Fanny already have... that kind of relationship?"

With her head lowered, Ivy clenched her hands tightly and grasped the hem of her clothes: "If that's the case, then I... there is no need to get involved anymore..."

Unlike the Hedley Empire, in the tradition of the elves, the concept of monogamy and lifelong companionship is always upheld.

"Who told you that they were in that kind of relationship!"

Lily's eyes widened and she spoke subconsciously.

Hearing this, Ivy's depressed expression instantly turned doubtful: "Have done that kind of thing, but it's not that kind of relationship? Then... isn't this..."

"No! No!"

Lily waved her hands repeatedly and said nonsense: "Anyway, it was just because of some accidents!"

"This kind of thing...can an accident happen?"

"Don't worry so much! Anyway, I'm going to ask you now, do you want to be Mr. Lane's lover?"

"what……"

Although Lily had asked this question many times, Ivy couldn't help but blush on her cheeks: "Sister Lily, you... you know..."

"I just asked you if you wanted to!"

"……think."

"listen!"

Lily raised her finger and touched Ivy's forehead:

"Because of this 'accident', the relationship between Mr. Lane and Sister Fanny has heated up rapidly. If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid that Mr. Lane and Sister Fanny will really have that kind of relationship before long! Then you really won’t have a chance!”
