Erin's clothes were becoming almost transparent, and she kept pressing her skirt with her hands, preventing any important areas from being exposed to me. So, if she were to wring it out herself, she would naturally lose her defense. Yes, it was all for her own good.

With her face flushed red, Erin seemed to finally understand my good intentions.

She lowered her head, as if trying to avoid my gaze, and then reached out to take it.

"Thank you, Mr. Isaac."

"Well, it's nothing. Hurry up and put it on."

"I apologize..."

To avoid embarrassment, Erin turned around and put it on with her back facing me.

However, although it was like that, it seemed that little Erin had forgotten one thing - her skirt, although long, was not only wet in the front!

Cascia had been waiting outside the alley for a while, and once Erin was ready, we quickly returned outside.

Sure enough, Cascia was alone, leaning against the wall looking lonely.

"Dad, you're so slow." My daughter complained as soon as she saw me, "And you didn't let her come in."

When Cascia pouted and blamed me, she suddenly noticed that Erin, with her head down, still had a blushing face. Being perceptive, she immediately sensed something was amiss.

"Dad." My daughter bared her teeth, "Can you explain?"

"Well? What is there to explain?" I played dumb, "I just assisted Erin, what's there to explain???"

Besides, Erin was too preoccupied with her embarrassment to pay attention to my rambling.

So let's wrap this up quickly.

"Alright, alright. Let's go to the Chamber of Commerce now, otherwise it'll be dark soon." I waved my hand to Erin, "Erin, we'll meet again someday. You should go back early, or your family will worry."

Well, Erin and I have a mutually beneficial relationship, don't we?

I saved her and she gave me a small reward. So, after taking advantage of her, I better make a quick getaway!

But when she heard that we were leaving, suddenly, Erin seemed to gather her courage.

"T-Then!" She grabbed onto my sleeve, "Mr. Isaac! Thank you for saving me. If possible, I would like to invite both of you to my elder sister's house and treat you well!"

Erin bowed deeply to me, as if summoning great courage.

"Thank you, but it's not necessary." I spoke with an indifferent tone, "Besides, my daughter and I have something to do. Once we finish, we'll leave the town tomorrow."

Staying overnight in Gianda has already exceeded my physical limit, and going to someone else's house as guests might shorten my lifespan.

"Mr. Isaac."

I don't know why, but Erin suddenly became unusually serious.

"W-What is it?"

I was overwhelmed by this child's momentum.

"You look so young. Do you have elven blood?"

"N-No."

Elves, because of their longevity, even if they're over a hundred years old, they still appear youthful. So did Erin suspect me because of this?

Speaking of which, Erin was fixated on my age for a long time earlier, and now she is asking if I am non-human. Could it be?!

For a moment, I felt like I might have revealed something.

But then, I realized that there might be another reason.

Because during our conversation, Erin's two slightly pointed ears peeked out from her thick golden hair... and her pupils had a touch of peculiar color.

Heavens... Elves.

Oh no... While it felt great to take advantage of her just now, now it seems like I've stirred up trouble with the last person I should have. I've made things big.

As for my daughter, she seems a bit uncertain about the current situation, still observing but in a state of constant vigilance.

"Mr. Isaac, since you're not of my kind."

Erin seemed to have resigned herself to her fate and grasped my hand.

"Please allow me to thank you!"

Yes, this child is an elf... an elf...

The elves, who also worshipped the great god Querce, were a race with the highest intelligence and talent among the non-human races. They were an ancient race already recorded in ancient texts.

Their inherent physical abilities and talents were unparalleled even by the renowned warrior race among humans, the Vortons.The elf tribe and the human tribe's Kewen are both regarded as messengers of the main god, Querce, and they have high reputation throughout the continent. Their life spans of hundreds of years make them even more mysterious in people's eyes. However, precisely because of the elves' inherent strength, they also have a major flaw. These guys will never accept favors from outsiders! But if someone saves an elf's life, even if it takes their whole life, they will repay that person. Ah, it's just a small matter, you don't need to worry about it or repay me, go home and find your parents~

Can I tell her like this?

Too naive! Too naive!!

God is actually fair. He gives them the most wonderful things, but takes away their normal intelligence! Especially for pure-blooded elves, their level of stubbornness has reached a pathological level!!!

"Mr. Isaac!" Eileen emphasized her tone.

"Ye-yes!"

"Speaking of which, I haven't met your wife yet. Where is she?"

"C-Cascia's mother has already passed away," I licked my dry lips, "Now I'm taking care of our daughter alone."

"That's great!"

"Huh? Huh...?"

Is it great that his wife is dead???

As for my Cascia, it's as if she's been enduring with great effort, and she's even embedded her nails into my flesh.

That, daughter, daddy it hurts, daddy it hurts!!

"Mr. Isaac! Please come with me!" Eileen suddenly grabbed my arm and began to walk, "Father is not far ahead!"

"Why... why should I go see your father?"

My dry throat made a timid sound.

"Father," Eileen said, "he will definitely agree to our marriage!"
