As Holy Spirit Day approached, every household in Silver Star Town began decorating a week in advance, stockpiling supplies and preparing holiday goods.

Different from others, Xidis’ household had a special tradition every year, that was to stew a huge pot of tomato beef brisket and distribute it door to door, while also giving free pillows and quilts to poor families in town.

This was all Lisea’s idea, after all he was a devout believer of the Nine Holy Spirits and the allowance Xidis gave him was a bit too much, and since he wasn’t someone who indulged in luxury, he used it all for these things.

But this year was different, since they were heading to Migendorf for Holy Spirit Day, Lisea donated all the money to the local Church, hoping they would carry out the charity in his place.

After donating, he returned home early, only to see two over two-meter-tall oval egg-shaped clucking chickens and a luxuriously decorated carriage without a family crest parked outside his house.

These oval-shaped magical creatures were a famous means of transportation in the Empire, looking like oversized chicks but actually excellent runners.

Using them, they could reach Migendorf in about two days.

But the problem was... these were noble mounts…

‘Lady Xidis, where did you even get these from?!’

At this moment, Xidis sat atop the carriage roof swinging her legs, still pointing and ordering Rong’an and Lisea around.

“Rong’an, after moving those two barrels of mineral water, remember to bring my research notes too, hm? You idiot, back from being a sucker? Then hurry and load the honey jars.”

When Xidis saw Lisea, her tone remained as sharp as ever, but a faint smile appeared on her cold face.

This kid always liked helping the weak, it was foolish but strangely identical to his parents.

‘Heh, all hopeless fools.’

“Understood!”

The two carried out orders, and as Lisea passed by Xidis, he reached out and poked her ankle.

She was startled, quickly pulling her foot back and snapping.

“What are you doing! Want me to kick you flying?!”

“Sorry Lady Xidis... the carriage is too tall, that’s the only place I could reach.”

“Then don’t poke! Idiot! Just say what you need, if it’s not important, prepare to get beaten!”

Xidis was furious, who would have thought this seemingly honest boy could casually do something so outrageous, she really needed to teach him some manners.

Wait, wasn’t she trying to raise him into a bad person, wouldn’t this be exactly what she wanted?

At that moment, Xidis’ mental logic conflicted and froze, after calming down she reached a conclusion, you can be bad, but not toward me!

She then kicked his shoulder with her small shoe, crossing her arms with a displeased snort.

Seeing her angry, Lisea quickly lowered his head and apologized.

“I’m really sorry! I just wanted to tell you, the thing you asked for has arrived, should we bring it to Migendorf?”

“Of course! I’ve even prepared honey! This time I’ll personally kill those two beasts and turn them into delicious food!”

“But... can you beat a turkey?”

Yes, what Xidis had asked them to buy was the powerful creature... turkey!

Last year she got curious about how turkey tasted and bought a big one from the market, but as soon as she entered the house, Rong’an took it away and she and Lisea looked at her like she was a child.

“Lady Xidis shouldn’t handle the turkey, we’ll do it, if you use magic you might blow up the kitchen.”

‘So they thought the Abyss Prince, second-ranked demon, couldn’t beat a turkey without magic?!’

Xidis exploded in anger and rushed to chop the turkey, but the bird broke free...

Then the demon prince personally experienced how weak an untrained human body was and how much strength a creature could unleash when facing death...

She ended up being chased down the street by a turkey and only survived by hiding in a police station.

This year! No matter what! She would take revenge!

“Of course! I’ve prepared for a whole year, this time the turkey won’t escape!”

“But we’re staying at an inn in Migendorf, where will you cook it?”

At this, Xidis proudly lifted her chin.

“Hmph, I recently got a mansion in Migendorf, we can move in directly!”

‘Migendorf? Mansion?!’

Migendorf was the capital of the Southern Region, where the Duke of Falette resided, and she bought a mansion there? Even if her novels sold well, this was absurd.

Lisea was speechless while Xidis enjoyed his shocked expression, jumping down and patting his shoulder.

“Don’t underestimate me, getting a house is nothing, there’s more to come, if you give up being an adventurer and the divine trial, I’ll give you the house and ten thousand gold coins.”

“No thanks... I can’t accept that, I want to walk my own path and become as outstanding as you!”

Even while refusing, he praised her, which she loved, making her float with pride.

She stood on tiptoe and patted his head, encouraging him.

“In that case, show your best in the divine trial, I believe you’ll succeed.”

“I won’t let you down! Never!”

Determination burned in Lisea’s eyes, making Xidis feel conflicted.

She liked people who pursued dreams, but hated that his dream was moving toward the Nine Holy Spirits.

Sigh...

‘Unfortunately, your dream won’t come true.’

Lowering her head, shadows covered her eyes as she smiled wickedly, certain Lisea wouldn’t make it to the trial.

She had already prepared a “gift” for the Church.

If the pilgrimage delegation was scattered by a monster tide, the trial would naturally be canceled.

‘I can’t wait to see the Church fall into chaos.’

Raising her head again, sunlight illuminated her face and her smile became bright and genuine, the first time Lisea had seen her smile like that.

She looked unbelievably beautiful.

‘Seems like... teacher is really looking forward to this trial.’

“Alright Lisea! Enough talk! Pack up, we’re heading to Migendorf! For! The! Festival!”
