Did the statue of the Hero stand here to tell the world about a certain epic, or for a certain elf?
In front of the rusted bronze statue, Yulian stood quietly, thinking about the words he had seen in his previous life.
"So the commission is to clean the rust off the bronze statue of Himmel the Hero."
Fern's voice came from a distance, and Mr. Yulian hesitated but did not leave.
"Mr. Yulian!"
Fern exclaimed in surprise.
"I can't believe you're here!"
"I took a commission to clear out some demons this morning, and I happened to be passing by."
Yulian smiled, pursing his lips.
He raised the money bag in his hand and lightly tossed it to Fern.
"The reward is one hundred copper coins."
"As expected of Mr. Yulian, truly amazing!"
Fern put away the money bag, her eyes opening and closing, and playfully gave Yulian a thumbs-up.
"Alright, Fern."
Mistress Frieren interrupted their conversation and spoke to the old woman beside her.
"It's to clean the rust, right?"
"Yes, but I would be very grateful if you could decorate it a little after cleaning."
The old woman smiled kindly.
Mistress Frieren nodded and turned to ask Fern.
"Fern, do you remember the magic for removing rust that I taught you last time?"
But she received no answer from Fern.
"Hmm!"
Fern puffed out her cheeks and was holding her arms with a bit of anger at the moment.
"Fern."
Mistress Frieren called out again with a blank expression.
"Rust Removal Magic."
Fern turned her head away to face Himmel's bronze statue, summoned her staff, and activated the magic.
A soft purple light flashed, and soon the bronze statue was completely refreshed.
Under the sunlight, the image of Himmel with his sword planted and a smile entered their view, giving off a warm and sunny feeling.
"He's so handsome!"
Yulian couldn't help but exclaim.
Even as a bronze statue, one could still feel Himmel's gentle handsomeness.
"Just showing off."
Mistress Frieren seemed to think of something and muttered with a pout.
However, one could hear a hint of a smile in her voice.
"Magic is truly amazing!"
The old woman's eyes lit up.
"Even the smallest details can be cleaned completely!"
"You're too kind."
Fern didn't seem to want to talk much; after activating the magic, she quietly stood beside Mr. Yulian.
She was far away from Mistress Frieren, which made Yulian notice a slight oddity.
Is she throwing a tantrum?
Yulian raised his eyebrows slightly but didn't speak.
"But if it had a little decoration, perhaps it would be better."
The old woman subtly reiterated her request.
"Decoration?"
"Fern,"
Mistress Frieren naturally thought of Flower Field Magic, but just as she was about to ask Fern to do it, she noticed that Fern had already stood beside Yulian with a pouty face without her knowing when.
"Well, I'll do it then."
Mistress Frieren slightly furrowed her brows.
"Let's just plant some flowers."
"Magic—Flower Field."
[Blue Moon Weed.]
Himmel's voice seemed to echo in Mistress Frieren's ears.
It caused Mistress Frieren to suddenly stop the magic she was preparing halfway through.
[Frieren, when I have the chance, I will definitely let you see it with your own eyes.]
[Blue Moon Weed.]
[The flowers from my hometown, they are very beautiful.]
"What's wrong, Miss Frieren?"
The old woman looked at Mistress Frieren, who was suddenly standing still blankly, and spoke up.
"Nothing,"
"Nothing at all."
Mistress Frieren shook her head.
"It's just that if we planted Blue Moon Weed, it would be better."
Emmm... As expected, it was for Mistress Frieren?
Yulian yawned and quietly looked at Mistress Frieren.
"Blue Moon Weed?"
"Blue flowers really suit Hero Sir!"
"However, I haven't seen them."
"So I can't use the magic to make Blue Moon Weed appear."
Mistress Frieren bit her lip.
I know nothing about this person, but he clearly told me so much, so much...
"In that case, perhaps I can provide some help to Miss Frieren."
"Don't forget, I'm a botanist."
The old woman smiled and was about to lead Mistress Frieren, Fern, and Yulian towards her home.
Fern, however, seemed a little hesitant.
"Fern?"
Mistress Frieren looked at Fern, who was standing still, and her brows furrowed deeper.
Is this still the Fern she knew?
"Let me take Fern for a walk,"
"You go first, we'll be there in a moment."
Yulian said with a smile and gently stroked Fern's head.
Mistress Frieren quietly watched the two of them for a while before turning and leaving.
"Be back before dark."
Mistress Frieren's voice sounded, but she was gradually moving away.
Only after Mistress Frieren had completely walked away did Yulian begin to ask Fern.
"Fern, did Mistress Frieren do something you dislike?"
Yulian pulled Fern to sit down in front of Himmel's bronze statue.
"Something I dislike..."
Fern pursed her lips.
"Recently, Mistress Frieren has been keeping her distance from Mr. Yulian, and she doesn't allow me to talk to Yulian."
Is that so?
Yulian blinked a few times, unsure.
[Flenna, is that so?]
[I didn't feel like Mistress Frieren was distancing herself from Mr. Yulian...]
Flenna's uncertain answer echoed in Mr. Yulian's mind.
Hiss...
This is strange.
Could it be that this old hag, Mistress Frieren, is secretly stabbing me in the back?
Impossible!
Yulian scratched his head, unable to find an answer.
"How exactly did Mistress Frieren distance herself from me?"
Unable to find an answer, Yulian gently asked Fern.
Yulian naturally did not want to see Fern and Mistress Frieren having a conflict.
By leaving Fern behind, Yulian was also thinking of resolving the conflict between the two of them.
"Even though everyone is together, Mistress Frieren made Mr. Yulian stay somewhere else."
"Even though I hadn't seen Yulian for several days, as soon as I started talking to Yulian, Mistress Frieren wouldn't let me talk to Mr. Yulian."
"Is Mistress Frieren angry with Mr. Yulian recently? But Mr. Yulian clearly didn't do anything wrong!"
Fern clenched her small fists, feeling indignant.
As if a floodgate had opened, as soon as Yulian asked, she started talking non-stop.
So that's how it is!
Yulian rubbed his head in annoyance.
So Fern was suddenly angry with Mistress Frieren today because of this!
The reason Mistress Frieren asked Yulian to find a place to stay on his own was that staying in a villager's home was fine for one or two people, but three people would be too many.
Especially since Yulian was a strong adult male, this was even more of an inappropriate situation.
So Yulian used Wood House Magic to stay by himself at the edge of the forest.
This was a very normal thing!
But Yulian didn't know how to explain it to Fern.
The more difficult point was that if the first part was fine, what about the latter part?
Mistress Frieren suddenly stopped the two of them from talking?
Yulian thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason.
He had even less idea how to explain it.
"So, Mr. Yulian, you also think what I said makes sense, right!"
"Did Mr. Yulian and Mistress Frieren have some kind of conflict?"
"If possible, I hope to be a bridge between the two of you and resolve the conflict between Mr. Yulian and Mistress Frieren!"
Fern stood up excitedly and said.
Yulian, however, felt like crying without tears.
Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, Sir!
