"....that should wrap it up"
Mia took a few minutes to explain the guild situation to us completely, all along Rafael just sat in the corner, even Adventurers here ignore him.
So, from what I learned from Mia it isn't much different from what I expected, the city's guild mainly is a mix of seventh layer level of cultivation adventurers.
The adventurers who are at the eighth layer or higher did not live in one city permanently and keep moving as for SS ranked adventures they are assigned tasks directly by Guild.
But I got to learn an interesting fact, the news of blast in Imperial family carriage is spread across the whole empire, though they managed to hide the victims from the general public, still it widely known that they were from Quentin family.
"Mia wh..."
I was about to ask something from Mia but got interrupted by Ellen's sudden voice.
"I am sorry Leon, sister seems to be busy today. She said to meet you tomorrow at Imperial capital Guild," Ellen said casually and sat down in the seat next to me.
Lena sitting on my right while Ellen is on my left, two beauties left and right sure is heavens bliss....umm why these two brats have bewildered expressions.
"" Teacher""
Both Mia and Rafael flusteredly got up from their seat and bowed towards Ellen.
Ellen just nodded at them casually not paying them much heed, Mia and Rafael sat down as well not bothered by her attitude.
I glanced strangely at Ellen. "Are they your students Ellen." Lena also tuned towards Ellen with curiosity.
"I taught those brats when they were kids." Ellen answered lazily.
Is this the reason he was pretty courageous back then even after knowing Lena level is higher than him. I looked towards Rafael and Lena in succession.
My movements didn't escape from Ellen's eyes, she frowned slightly and put on a stern expression. "Did he done something?"
"!!!"
Ellen killing intent leaked little freezing people nearby us, Rafael got a pale face while Mia had an ugly expression.
There was an intense atmosphere on the whole floor, everyone was looking towards Ellen anxiously.
"Okay okay, girl you need to calm yourself first." I patted Ellen shoulders to remind her of the situation. She also looked around to find everyone looking at her. Ellen quickly withdrew her killing intent but was still looking sternly at Rafael for an explanation.
Mia hurriedly explained the situation calming down the atmosphere.
"Is that so..." Ellen narrowed her eyes at Rafael after Mia's explanation.
"That's right, that's right I did nothing else." Rafael nodded little flustered.
"Hahaha... you sure are as terrifying as rumours, Bloody witch."
Mia and Rafael we're looking towards me with admiration, nobody ever dared to talk to Ellen on her face like that even other SS-rank adventures dare not to.
Ellen gazed at me angrily. "You... don't call me by that name."
Uh, She sure hates that name. "...So what shall I call you, little girl."
"Who is little girl." Ellen retorted with a displeased expression.
"Aren't you." I said innocently.
"..." Ellen was speechless on this, on thinking carefully indeed she is indeed a little girl as compared to me, of course, she won't accept this. She just pouted and looked sidewards.
"Hahaha..."
I was amused by her reaction but decided to stop it here, there was a cold glare coming from my right.
"We should get going now, there are many things you need to buy." I asked Lena to change the subject.
Lena wasn't fooled by me but still nodded and replied not before giving me a 'you will explain later' look.
"Right, how about you two are you coming along?"
Mia thought for a while before answering. "I don't have anything to do today, it's better to go shopping anyways."
"Okay then, let's go" Lena stood up and walked towards the entrance with Ellen, I and Mia followed after them.
"Hey, what about my opinion...Ouch," Rafael's voice sounded from behind us.
"Nobody will treat you as mute if you don't speak."
Here goes another cane smashed on his head, I shook my head wryly and looked at Mia who was walking indifferently, she sure is ruthless.
...
"Sigh,...hey Rafael," I called out to Rafael who was walking like a dead sloth next to me.
"Huh??."
"It's my first time with Lena and Ellen but is Mia also always like this?"
Rafael glanced at me before nodding seriously. "If it weren't for you, I would have found an excuse to slip by a long time ago."
I looked straight only to find 2 beauties and a loli in front of me who were still full of energy. Well, I admit that girl's take time for shopping but it's literally time for dinner and we haven't even eaten lunch today.
I shook my head wryly and accelerated my pace to catch up with them.
"Hey Sister don't you think you bought too many things already." I asked Lena.
There's only Rafael and Mia nearby so it's no problem to call her sister, they are students of Ellen anyways.
"Indeed it should be enough for today's dinner we should go back then." Ellen replied to me in place of Lena.
"Dinner?" I stared at her with a question mark.
"Right I forgot to tell you Ellen, Mia and Rafael are going with us tonight for dinner." Lena said.
Nodding I decided to go by with her, thinking about that, it's indeed a good idea.
"Nobody even asked my opinion." Rafael spoke in a self-deprecating voice.
Mia gave Rafael an evil eye."Well if you don't want to come nobody is forcing you." She sure holds some grudge against him, not like it's my issue to care about.
Everyone was unbothered by their behaviour probably used to it now.
Ellen proposed "Since we all have already finished, Leon can you teleport us back directly?."
So I will have to become a taxi, though it's good this way will save us a lot of time.
"Piece of cake."
I wrapped all of us directly to the mansion's living room.
Finally an end to this tiring day, I will remember this lesson, never accompany a group of girls to shopping. Heaving a sigh of relief I fell on the sofa.
Lena and Ellen along with Mia moved towards the kitchen for preparations.
After half an hour everyone gathered at the dining room across the table, Lena and Ellen were sitting on my left and right while Mia and Rafael on front.
At a glance there were more than twenty different dishes on the table, I picked up a piece of meat and tasted it.
Instantly, my eyes shone. "Delicious!! Who made this?"
"It's Ellen" Mia replied.
"It's nothing just year's of cooking practice." Ellen said it casually but, to be honest, it was even better than mine.
...after all, I was a God, not a cook.
"Even though it's good, even better than me."
Mia looked at me with surprise. "You can cook?"
"Of course why can't I." Really what's the matter with everyone.
Mia gazed at Lena for a while and spoke"...It's just you know with your Sister you cooking was a little strange."
"I just do it occasionally"
We just moved to the house yesterday, what can I say other than it, Mia also believed me and resumed eating.
Next, the whole dinner was peaceful with few occasional chats but I found something strange all along Mia was completely quiet just looking at me side-eye a few times.
Hmm...glancing around the room I found Mia eye up to me, what's with this girl? Don't tell me she is interested in me. I looked at Rafael for opinion, he just shrugged off in response seemingly not caring about it at all.
... Dude she's your girl, can't you watch out for her at least.
Ellen also found the abnormality. "Cough, Mia it's bad to stare at people like that."
"Huh" Mia was startled by Ellen's sudden voice, she glance around only to find everyone looking towards her with different expressions.
Noticing that situation is getting bad she hurriedly explained herself. "It-it's nothing, it's just I was surprised by Leon's teleportation today"
...What's surprising in it?
"Oh...right, now that you said it teacher never uses teleportation right!" Rafael also exclaimed.
Right, Ellen back then also used flying rather than teleportation, for any demigod teleporting a few hundred kilometres shouldn't be that hard. Even a tenth level person with enough practice can go for about a hundred kilometers.
"It's not that I can't it's not efficient for me"
"Why?" Rafael asked.
Everyone turned their gaze towards Ellen asking for an answer.
She was silent about it not knowing how to reply but finally took a deep breath making up her mind.
"Sigh, it's not the first time someone asked me this you see I can't comprehend space laws no matter how much I try, maybe it's because I spend my whole time learning about fire or any other reason at least that's what my sister and others said"
There was an awkward silence at the table nobody know what to reply to her, but Ellen Chuckled lightly and continued without minding it.
"Haha, maybe it's the prize...which I have to pay for being one of the youngest demigods, you guys don't need to mind it, not like it will affect my growth."
She said it lightly, trying to laugh it off but it only showed her helplessness more.
... maybe I can help her.
"You should try changing your way then." I suggested her.
"" Huh "Everyone looked at me in surprise probably not understanding it.
"Well, I mean if you can't directly learn it you can just use Fire as a medium for it, this will make things much more easier for you, heck you can even make enhanced space spells with it."
"Will that work?." Rafael asked.
Ellen made a thoughtful expression but soon it turned in astonishment then hope, she looked at me with anticipation completely unable hide her inner joy and nervousness in her tone.
" Leon, can you teach me this."
Of course There is no reason for me to deny it, I nodded at her. "Sure, I can teach you it rig.....well let us do it tomorrow, it shouldn't take much time." It was better to teach her now but I decided to stop seeing Lena's expression changing.
"Okay then, I will stay here tonight after all I have to take you to guild tomorrow." She was little disappointed but her mood turned a lot better now.
"I will show you the way" Lena stood from the table and guided Mia and Rafael towards the door and finally took Ellen upstairs to show her the room but before that she turned around with a troubled look.
... Well I know what she is troubled about.
Smiling gently, I reassured her. "I will wait for you here, if you have something to say".
Lena nodded and left quietly.
