Chapter 90: Offer (6)

Billy tried to reason with Kate, but she didn't listen to a single thing. As expected, her mental age was that of a teen… she just couldn't accept the risks and the problems that such an attitude would cause. A problem soon arrived… the next day, Billy was summoned by Edward… it was about time for him to receive another job. Still, Billy was pretty sure that Edward wanted to talk about Kate. As expected, he already looked sick and worried in his office. His daughter's recovery gave him some good news and now she was causing some trouble again...

"You look exhausted," Billy said.

"... Since I have heard about Kate's plans to go on adventures outside town, I have been unable to sleep for more than a few hours," Edward said. "Was it you who taught her how to use knives and magics like that, Billy?"

"No, I just taught the very basic elemental magic, but she understood what I did after hearing about it from my friends," Billy said.
