Meia’s house is chaotic even if it’s not chaotic.
Various things are placed everywhere - wine bottles, wine barrels, and some leftover food. To put it simply, it is full of traces of "short-term high-frequency use" of life.
But other than that, everything else is neat. They're all very orderly and in the right places.
This made Aiwass feel a wonderful illusion——
It was as if Meia was still a little girl and her parents had just gone on a business trip, so she ate and drank in revenge.
"Ms. Meia," Aiwass asked, "do you live with your parents?"
"Although my parents are also in the Red Queen, they don't live with me."
Meia explained a little awkwardly.
As she spoke, she started to pack away. She worked very neatly and had almost everything packed away in a short time.
She complained: "Because I didn't want to invite you over today... otherwise I would have cleaned up everything. The main reason is that I didn't expect you to be promoted suddenly, so I couldn't delay it.
"I haven't bought groceries these days, so maybe I can let you try my cooking skills. But now I have to give you the food quickly... I can't delay your meal."
"There's no rush," Aiwass advised.
And Lily asked softly: "How about I come and help?"
This can also be regarded as Lily's professional skill.
The exam was finished at 11 a.m., so there was plenty of time.
"Need not!"
Ms. Meiya was full of energy and replied simply: "You are my students and my guests. How can there be any reason to let students and guests clean the house?"
At this moment, the key to the door suddenly turned.
"I'm back, Mom."
A young and cold voice came.
……Mother?
Aiwass looked along the sound and saw a little girl wearing a dark blue nun dress with silver hair and silver eyes appearing at the door.
Although Meia can be regarded as a vibrant beauty, her appearance and temperament are completely different from those of girls.
Meia has dark brown curly hair the same color as Mathers. Her hair is tied into a ponytail and draped in front of one shoulder in a very dangerous hairstyle. Her pupils are warm and watery light blue, and she is not too old.
It's easy to say that she may be in her thirties or forties, but she still looks like a energetic young girl in her early twenties.
Although she is a university lecturer, she has the aura of a preschool educator.
And now, Aiwass finally knows where this temperament comes from——
The girl who came in from the door had slightly pointed ears, and she obviously had elf blood. Her appearance was delicate and elegant, like a statue, and her skin was almost a plaster pale color. Even if she didn't need any dressing up or wearing any accessories, she just
There is an overbearing nobility.
After she entered the door and saw Aiwass and Lily, there was no big reaction.
The girl asked softly: "Are there any guests, mother?"
Ms. Meia hurriedly ran over, holding her knees with both hands, and asked in a soft voice like an idiot: "Why are you back suddenly, Vivian? Aren't you staying at school for lunch?"
"We're already on vacation, Mom."
The girl sighed helplessly and walked past Meiya: "I finished the exam yesterday. I went up today to get my holiday homework."
"Ah, I'm sorry Vivian, mom was busy and forgot again..."
"It's okay, Mom. I know you are very busy."
The girl is very sensible and has a calm tone.
But as she was walking, she suddenly saw the garbage collected by Meia.
The girl suddenly looked sharply!
"What's going on, Mom? You're eating these things again...and drinking? So much?"
"Oh, I only drank a little..."
Meia smiled and leaned over, reaching out to Aiwass and Lily to make a shushing gesture. Then she followed the girl and explained: "It was because Principal Meg came to me for a drink, and I couldn't refuse, so I drank."
Some……"
…Didn’t Meg turn into Ligeia?
Aiwass tilted his head slightly.
But he was still kind-hearted and did not expose Meia's lies.
But the reaction of Meia and her daughter surprised Aiwass - it could even be said to be novel.
It feels like Vivian is the mother and Meia is her daughter...
"You need to control your sugar intake or exercise."
Vivian said seriously: "When you get fat, you have to go on a diet again - the fire sacrificial method is not a panacea, you said it yourself. I'll be the one cooking these days."
She checked around the room and then approached Aiwass.
She briefly recognized the two people, then bowed slightly and performed a serious nun's salute: "Mr. Aiwas Moriarty, and Miss Lily Drost, good afternoon. May the Silver Crowned Dragon watch over you.
You, may the fire of the candlelight illuminate you."
...I say hello very seriously. What's going on with this girl?
Avas suddenly felt a little stressed.
So Aiwass directly showed his attitude towards his peers.
He put his right hand on his chest, showed a perfect smile, lowered his head and said softly: "I also wish that Si Zhu's fire will protect your light, little miss. Can I call you Vivian?"
"Vivian Mathers. It's an honor for you to call me by my first name."
The girl made a cold voice and her expression was extremely serious - more serious than any teacher Aiwass had ever seen.
But because her cheeks still have a little baby fat, her serious expression looks cute.
"Vivian..."
Aiwass muttered the name in a low voice and looked at Meia with a strange expression: "Is this the name you gave her? Or was it given by your husband?"
That's not a good name in Avalon.
The story of Vivian, the fairy in the lake, is a household name in Avalon. Naming a child Vivian is probably equivalent to naming a girl "Golden Lotus". Let's not talk about the meaning... Mainly
Children may be given bad nicknames at school.
For Meia, who is a senior bishop and also a university lecturer, she should not make such a stupid mistake.
"I'm not married."
Meia put her hands on her hips and said confidently: "Although I am not young, I am still a girl."
"It means I can't get married." The girl added on the side.
"Vivian——"
"Of course, I think it's mainly because I'm here," the girl added again. "No one would be willing to take care of such an old daughter."
"...Then, that won't happen..."
The voice that Meia raised just now suddenly dropped again, and she moved closer to Vivian uneasily: "Don't say that, Vivian. Mom just has you, that's enough..."
"I know, I did it on purpose."
The corners of Vivian's mouth raised slightly.
"You little thing-"
Meia was so angry that she bit Vivian's ear from behind.
And Aiwass already understood: "Little Vivian...is the teacher's adopted daughter?"
Just like myself.
"Absolutely. I picked her up by the lake. At that time, she looked smaller than she is now, but she already looked like a little adult. But after all, she has elf blood, so it is reasonable for her intelligence and appearance not to match. Princess
His Highness is almost twenty this year, and he still looks like a sixteen-year-old child."
Meia was a little troubled: "I originally wanted to name her Annie or Anna, but she preferred the name Vivian. I had no choice but to go with her."
...Isn't this really Vivian's reincarnation?
This idea came to Aiwass's mind.
Mainly, it's not even impossible...
"That's right, Mom."
"Well, what's the matter?"
"Our school will organize a trip to Muwan County next week. Can mom accompany me?"
The girl said lightly: "It's a bit remote."
"That's no problem. It's winter vacation at that time, so I'll go with you to protect you."
Meia thought for a while and replied.
But Aiwass was a little concerned.
He said: "Speaking of which, we also plan to go to Muwan County...where are you going?"
"Let's go to Bagpipe Town." The girl looked at Aiwass and replied.
"Let's go to Eagle Point Village - it's quite close. I can take care of it then." Aiwass smiled gently.
"Eagle Point Village?"
Meia was a little confused: "Why are you going to such a remote place?"
"I'm here to investigate the death of my grandfather."
Aiwass explained gently: "Sherlock told me that my biological grandfather finally died in Eagle Point Village. There may be something strange. It happens that Senior Haina was born there, so we plan to go back and have a look."
"Maybe we can come along."
Hearing this, Meia clapped her hands happily: "That's good. If something happens, we can take care of each other. After all, Vivian is so young, so I don't worry about traveling far away..."
"Speaking of which, how old is Vivian exactly now?" Lily asked curiously.
"I am eight years old. This is what is recorded in school."
Vivian replied smoothly.
Hearing this, Aiwass and Lily were stunned for a moment.
——He is eight years old?
"Then when was Vivian picked up by Teacher Meiya?"
"Seven years ago."
"...How old were you when you were picked up?"
"About seven years ago," the girl replied in a cold voice.
...I always feel like I was scolded in a very high-level way.
Aiwass touched his chin.
There's something interesting about this girl...
"But speaking of it," Meia suddenly remembered something, "the book I borrowed from you has something to do with Vivian.
"I met Vivian just because I was chasing this book."
"...chasing?" Aiwass was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, the Morning Crow Tantra can fly."
Meia said, taking out an exquisite gold birdcage from the house.
There were no furnishings for eating or drinking in this birdcage, but there was a beam for the bird to stand on, but Aiwass, who had never raised a bird before, didn't know what it was called.
The strangest thing is that there is a book lying quietly under the birdcage. On the left and right sides of the birdcage, there is a small window that can be entered but not exited. You can push in from the outside, but you cannot go out from the inside.
This book is a few times smaller than the textbook, but about the same thickness. It is about the same size as the detective novels of Aiwass' previous life.
It shines with golden light, like the reflection of sunlight on the lake. It also has raised reliefs like fish scales and wings.
On the golden cover, "Morning Crow Tantra" is written in the Elvish language with flying dragons and phoenixes.
"It will turn into a crow and fly away. So you need to put your hands through the two windows to look... but don't take it out just to save trouble."
Meia warned: "Also, remember to read it during the day. If it is at night, the words in this book will become other words, and it will lose its role as a tantra book.
"As for its specific effects...just take it back and see for yourself."
