Chapter 176 Happy days. (2/2)

Back at ho up their food, the day had just started and as Bernir was out of com at the person opposite hi a break from time to time wouldn’t be such a bad idea

“Are you finished?”

“Ah yes”

He nodded while being lost in his thoughts It was tio back into the orphanage This was probably one of the biggest problems of this relationshi+p as both of them never really had any ti stuck working long hours was norot…”

“What is it?”

Elodia asked while cleaning up the table

“Just wait a ht back”

She was a bit surprised to see Roland rush off towards his workshop but she didn’t ask The dishes needed to be done and then it was tio back to take care of the kids While she enjoyed her stay here, the two trouble ones were on her mind

After ain his hand The moment Elodia saw it, her mouth opened wide

“W-what is this?”

“Oh nothing, just a sive me your hand

He did ask for permission but even when she protested he didn’t stop Soon a nice expensive-looking bracelet adorned Elodia’s wrist At first glance it didn’t really look expensive, it even looked to be ular silver

It wrapped around her wrist through a thick chain and the interesting part depicted a wolf shape The inside of this as all red with some smaller sparkly stones around it

“Put some mana into it”

Roland said while Elodia nodded and followed the instruction When she injected sohtly Soon the glow started to change shape into so that looked like a picture

“T-this is…”

Roland nodded as what they were now looking at was soraether This was a snapshot he had done with one of his newer inventions before

With soe in the runic program and use an illusion spell to present it outwards This was not soe from one of his research books For one reason or another, the other runesmiths didn’t bother with it too ratitude

“Try not to use it too et a headache”

He explained while pulling his hand away The bracelet was eon With this world being hoas, Roland still worried that if it looked too fancy that it would be a priet for the thieves

“You can also hide it under your sleeves… u to explain his worries he noticed that Elodia was somewhat quiet When he looked at her face he noticed that her eyes were glued to the accessory that he made for her It took a fewtoo much mana into the bracelet which was obvious as she reached towards her forehead

“That’s why I told you not to use it too much…”

Roland placed his hand on Elodia’s forehead With the help of his ulation skills, he was now able to somewhat alleviate mana deprivation in other people Normal people like Elodia without battle classes didn’t haveit Probably holding the ie for a minute would be the most she would be capable of

“Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea, how about I e…”

“What? No!”

When he asked for a return on his gift, he was given a loud rejection It was somewhat funny to see the mostly serious Elodia protect her wrist and move away from him He just moved his hands up into the air and smiled

“Fine, have it your way, just don’t use it toofewat the bracelet an awful lot But the dishes needed to be washed so it needed to be put to the side for the tilued to it which esture

Soon they were finished and it was tio back to the city While norni, this time around he decided to do it hioleed to break into the store or scaled the wall, they would be in for it

Elodia was back in her full getup which made her look like a Victorian lasses on, she could pass for a head ave her a very professional look but they weren’t really solasses were just a ht was just fine but she explained that she got used to wearing thee to not have the experience after his soeon exploration No sleep, paired with the constant stress of so he wanted to face every day

With his advanced age, he started to learn to appreciate the little things, just as his sloalk towards the city with a wo, as instead of his arauntlets underneath it

“You really need to learn to leave the house without those”

“Better safe than sorry”

He replied as they continued While he had mellowed out after the years, just as Elodia didn’t feel colasses so did he without so that he wasn’t willing to part with as slinging some quick spells could save his and Elodia’s life

But their happy faces would soon change as they approached the orphanage What seemed to be the start of a nice day quickly turned sour as Roland heard shouting

“God damn bastard!”

Elodia and Roland stopped while looking at each other and quickly increased the pace The voice that they heard clearly belonged to Armand and as they arrived at the scene it was a round, they sao men in leather armor They were knocked out cold but there were twoat Arentleman, by his clothes he looked like some kind of rich merchant

Roland was quick to place himself in front of Elodia that was about to run towards her idiot brother Luckily the uards but just souards instead

‘What is this about…’

The scene felt strange as the old man didn’t seem perturbed by the fiasco By the merchant's side, he also noticed soround that theat
