After retiring, I became Loli’s magic mentor

"...Master, can I sit in your arms?"

Yvette pondered for a moment and suddenly asked.

Ryan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

With that said, Ryan hugged Yvette into his arms.

After sitting in Ryan's arms, Yvette tilted her head back and leaned on Ryan's chest, her eyes narrowed slightly:

"Master's arms are really warm. It reminds me of the feeling I had when sitting in my mother's arms..."

As she spoke, Yvette's memory couldn't help but drift back to that sunny afternoon.

The sick mother was sitting in front of the window basking in the sun, holding her young child in her arms, telling her stories about the Otis family's ancestors.

"My mother said that the ancestor of our Otis family was a powerful magic swordsman. He achieved countless honors on the battlefield and laid a solid foundation for our Otis family."

Thinking of her mother, Yvette couldn't help but have a slight smile on her face:

"But unfortunately, that ancestor was said to have accumulated too much killing intent on the battlefield, and eventually went crazy and disappeared. The swordsman's swordsmanship has not been passed down."

"I have accumulated too much murderous intent...I have become obsessed..."

Ryan murmured a few words in confusion, and suddenly began to ponder, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yvette also stopped talking and fell into memories.

——Mother, are you strong in magic swordsmanship?

——Well, it’s very, very strong. It’s the strongest swordsmanship.

——Then after learning this set of swordsmanship, can I protect my mother?

——...As long as you learn this set of swordsmanship, Yvette, you can protect many, many people.

"..."

This seemed to be just a story casually told by her mother, but Yvette remembered it deeply in her heart.

Because this is the last story her mother tells Yvette.

After that day, my mother became ill and died two days later.

Until the end of his mother's funeral, Timo was busy with the political affairs of the fief and did not show up once.

Sensible Yvette understood that her father really couldn't escape, but she still had some grudges in her heart. Timo also felt indebted to Yvette and her daughter for this reason, and tried to spend more time with Yvette.

Yvette recalls that shortly after her mother died, Timo asked her if she wanted anything.

At that time, she responded without thinking that she wanted to learn swordsmanship.

At first, Yvette learned swordsmanship just to numb herself and make herself forget the pain of her mother's death.

But gradually, Yvette became immersed in it and fell in love with swordsmanship.

"Actually, I'm not sure why I'm so obsessed with learning magic swordsmanship. Maybe it's because my original intention of learning swordsmanship was because of it, or maybe... it's because it was the last story my mother told me before she died."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know right now."

Ryan rubbed Yvette's little face with a slightly disappointed smile: "You will find it in the future, okay, let's go back."

"Ah."

? ? ? ?

"Lord Ryan!"

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Ryan saw the little maid with freckles on her face standing in front of him with her hands on her hips and said angrily:

"You had lunch at the training ground today, right? Didn't you say that you couldn't get used to the food that you didn't cook yourself?"

Hearing this, Ryan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and laughed: "Actually, it's not bad to eat ordinary meals occasionally..."

"Master Ryan is just bullying people!"

The little maid said dissatisfied: "I don't care, I have to cook a few dishes for today's dinner, Master Ryan, you must eat it!"

"Easy to say, easy to say..."

After getting along with Ryan for a short time, the maids in the mansion found that the young nobleman was unexpectedly approachable, and they were no longer particularly reserved when communicating.

After talking to the little maid, Ryan began to look around the mansion, always feeling that something was missing.

At this time, Delly ran out in a hurry, rummaging through the sofa and searching the kitchen, looking very anxious.

Seeing this, Ryan couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "Delli, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Lane!"

Delly's face showed a rare hint of panic: "Ysera is missing!"

"Ysera is missing?"

Ryan frowned, feeling uneasy in his heart, and immediately raised his hand to release a magic to search for Ysera's whereabouts.

Under the guidance of magic, Ryan discovered that Ysera ran outside the mansion at some point.

"Mr. Lane, I'm sorry, I didn't keep an eye on Ysera..."

Delly lowered her head to Ryan.

Ryan shook his head: "It has nothing to do with you. She is a dragonborn after all. No one can stop her if she wants to run out... I'm going to find Ysera first."

"Okay, Mr. Lane, be careful along the way."

? ? ? ?

As time passed, Kalondo was gradually shrouded in darkness.

A red-haired little loli was walking on the streets of Kalondo, looking around as if she was looking for something.

"What are you looking for, little girl?"

A rough voice came out of nowhere, frightening Ysera. She suddenly dodged and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

She saw a burly man standing there, looking at her curiously.

Ysera kept a certain distance from the man vigilantly, and said at the same time: "I'm... looking for someone."

"Who are you looking for? I may have seen him."

A kind expression appeared on the burly man's face: "Can you describe his appearance to me?"

"Human, black hair, black eyes."

The burly man pretended to think for a moment, and then patted his head: "Hey! I seem to have seen him before. In this case, you come with me."

As he said that, the burly man walked into the alley to the side.

However, Ysera made no move.

The burly man turned his head in confusion: "What's wrong? Come with me, I've seen him before."

"No, you haven't met him."

Ysera made a vigilant posture, with small fangs exposed in her mouth, intimidating while retreating, ready to escape at any time.

Although Ysera usually looks stupid, she is not really stupid. Ryan is the lord of Kalondo, and Ryan is the only one in Kalondo who has such characteristics.

If this person had really seen Ryan, his expression would not be so calm.

"Oh, this is a bit difficult to handle."

The burly man scratched his scalp innocently, and then his expression suddenly turned ferocious: "Come out, everyone, and kidnap her away quickly! I don't know what kind of beast this orc is, but he should be able to sell it for a lot of money!"

As the burly man finished speaking, several men suddenly emerged from the surroundings. It looked like they were not locals from Kalondo.

A group of people immediately blocked Ysera's escape route, obviously very experienced in catching such vigilant orcs.

Seeing that she was unable to escape, and coupled with the malice that this group of people exuded all the time, Ysera felt a great threat.

The blood in the body seems to be gradually getting hot...
