Chapter 248 Little Vivian
Meia's house is chaotic even if it's not chaotic.
Various things were placed everywhere - wine bottles, wine barrels, and some leftover food. To put it simply, it is full of traces of life of "high-frequency use in a short period of time".
But other than that, everything else is neat. They are all placed in the right place in a very orderly manner.
This made Aiwass feel a wonderful illusion——
It was as if Meia was still a little girl and her parents had just gone on a business trip, so she ate and drank in revenge.
"Ms. Meia," Aiwass asked, "do you live with your parents?"
"My parents are in Red Queen, but they don't live with me."
Meia explained awkwardly.
As she spoke, she had already started to clean up. She worked very neatly and had almost everything packed up in a short time.
She complained: "Because I didn't want to invite you over today...otherwise I would have cleaned up everything. The main reason is that I didn't expect you to be suddenly promoted again, so I couldn't delay it.
"I haven't bought groceries these days, so I might as well let you try my cooking skills. But now I have to give you the food quickly... I can't delay your meal."
"There's no rush," Aiwass advised.
And Lily asked softly: "How about I come and help?"
This can be regarded as Lily's professional skill.
The exam was finished at 11 o'clock in the morning, so there was plenty of time.
"Need not!"
Ms. Meia was full of energy and replied simply: "You are my students and my guests. How can there be any reason to let students and guests clean?"
At this moment, the key to the door suddenly turned.
"I'm back, Mom."
A young and cold voice came.
……Mother?
Aiwass followed the sound and saw a little girl with silver hair and silver eyes wearing a dark blue nun dress appearing at the door.
Although Meia can be regarded as a vibrant beauty, her appearance and temperament are completely different from those of girls.
Meia has dark brown curly hair the same color as Mathers. Her hair is tied into a ponytail and draped in front of one shoulder in a dangerous hairstyle. Her pupils were as warm and light blue as water. Her age was hard to say, she might have been in her thirties or forties, but she still looked like an energetic young girl in her early twenties.
Although she is a university lecturer, she has the aura of a preschool educator.
And now, Aiwass finally knows where this temperament comes from——
The girl who came in from the door had slightly pointed ears and obviously had elf blood. Her appearance is delicate and elegant, like a statue, and her skin is almost a plaster pale color. Even if you don’t need to dress up or wear any accessories, you will still have an overbearing nobility.
After she entered the door and saw Aiwass and Lily, there was no big reaction.
The girl asked softly: "Are there any guests, mother?"
Ms. Meia ran over quickly, put her hands on her knees, and asked in a soft voice like an idiot: "Why are you back suddenly, Vivian? Aren't you staying at school for lunch?"
"We're already on vacation, Mom."
The girl sighed helplessly and walked past Meiya: "I finished the exam yesterday. I went up today to get my holiday homework."
"Ah, I'm sorry Vivian, mom was busy and forgot again..."
"It's okay, Mom. I know you're busy."
The girl is very sensible and has a calm tone.
But as she walked, she suddenly saw the garbage collected by Meia.
The girl suddenly looked sharply!
"What's going on, Mom? You're eating these things again...and drinking? So much?"
"Oh, I only drank a little..."
Meia leaned over with a smile, stretched out her hands to Aiwass and Lily and made a shushing gesture. Then she followed behind the girl and explained: "It was because Principal Meg came to ask me for a drink, and I couldn't refuse, so I drank." Some……"
…Didn’t Meg turn into Ligeia?
Aiwass tilted his head slightly.
But he was still kind-hearted and did not expose Meia's lies.
But the reaction of Meia and her daughter surprised Aiwass - it could even be said to be novel.
It feels like Vivian is the mother and Meia is her daughter...
"You need to control your sugar intake or exercise."
Vivian said seriously: "You will have to go on a diet when you gain weight - the fire sacrifice method is not a panacea, you said it yourself. I'll be the one cooking these days."
She checked around the room and then approached Aiwass.
She briefly recognized the two people, then bowed slightly and performed a formal nun's salute: "Mr. Aiwas Moriarty, and Miss Lily Drost, good afternoon. May the Silver Crowned Dragon watch over you. You, may the fire of the candlelight illuminate you."
...I am super, so serious about saying hello. What's going on with this girl?
Avas suddenly felt a little stressed.
So Aiwass directly showed his attitude towards his peers.
He put his right hand on his chest, showed a perfect smile, lowered his head and said softly: "I also wish that Si Zhu's fire will protect your light, little lady. Can I call you Vivian?"
"Vivian Mathers. It's an honor for you to address me by my first name."
The girl made a cold voice and her expression was extremely serious - more serious than any teacher Aiwass had ever seen.
But because of her cheeks that still have a little baby fat, this serious expression looks cute.
"Vivian..."
Evans whispered the name and looked at Maya with a strange expression: "Is this the name you gave her? Or did your husband give it to her?"
This is not a good name in Avalon.
The story of Vivian, the fairy in the lake, is well known in Avalon. Naming a child Vivian is probably equivalent to naming a girl "Golden Lotus". Let's not talk about the meaning... The main thing is that the child may be given a bad nickname in school.
For Maya, a senior bishop and university lecturer, she should not make such a low-level mistake.
"I'm not married."
Maya put her hands on her waist and said confidently: "Although I'm not young, I'm still a girl."
"It means that I can't get married." The girl added on the side.
"Vivian——"
"Of course, I think it's mainly because I'm here," the girl added again, "No one would be willing to take care of such a big daughter."
"... That, that wouldn't be the case..."
The voice that Maya had just raised suddenly dropped again. She approached Vivian with some uneasiness: "Don't say that, Vivian. Mommy just has you and that's enough..."
"I know, I did it on purpose."
Vivian's mouth corners slightly raised.
"You little thing——"
Maya was so angry that she bit Vivian's ear from behind.
And Aiwas had already understood: "Little Vivian... is the teacher's adopted daughter?"
Just like himself.
"Almost. I found her by the lake. She looked younger than she is now, but she was already like a little adult. But after all, she has elven blood, so it's reasonable that her intelligence and appearance don't match. Her Royal Highness is almost twenty years old this year, but she still looks like a sixteen-year-old child."
Meiya was a little distressed: "I originally wanted to name her Anne or Anna, but she liked the name Vivian more. I can only go along with her."
... Could it be Vivian's reincarnation?
This thought came to Aiwas' mind.
The main thing is that this is not even impossible...
"By the way, Mom."
"Well, what's the matter?"
"Our school will organize a trip to Muwan County next week. Can Mom accompany me?"
The girl said lightly: "It's a bit remote."
"That's no problem. It's winter vacation at that time. I'll go with you for protection."
Meiya thought for a while and answered.
Aiwas was a little concerned.
He said, "Speaking of which, we are also planning to go to Muwan County... Where are you going?"
"We're going to Bagpipe Town." The girl looked at Aiwas and answered.
"We're going to Eagle Point Village - it's quite close. I can take care of it when the time comes." Aiwas smiled gently.
"Eagle Point Village?"
Mea was a little confused: "Why are you going to such a remote place?"
"I'm here to investigate my grandfather's death."
Eawas explained in a gentle voice: "Sherlock told me that my biological grandfather eventually died in Eagle Point Village. There may be something strange. It just so happens that Senior Sister Haina was born there, so we plan to go back and take a look."
"Maybe it's on the way."
Hearing this, Meiya clapped her hands happily: "That's good, if something happens, we can take care of each other. After all, Vivian is so young, I'm worried about her going far away..."
"Speaking of which, how old is Vivian now?" Lily asked curiously.
"I'm eight years old this year, that's what the school records."
Vivian answered fluently.
Hearing this, Aiwass and Lily were both stunned.
——Eight years old?
"When was Vivian picked up by Teacher Meiya?"
"Seven years ago."
"...How old were you when you were picked up?"
"About seven years old seven years ago." The girl replied in a cold voice.
...I always feel that I was scolded in a very advanced way.
Aiwass touched his chin.
This girl is a bit interesting...
"But speaking of it," Meiya suddenly remembered something, "the book I lent you is related to Vivian.
"I met Vivian because I was chasing this book."
"... Chasing?" Aiwass was stunned.
"Yes, "The Secret of the Morning Crow" can fly. "
Mea said, and took out an exquisite golden bird cage from the house.
There was no decoration for eating and drinking in the bird cage, but there was a beam for the bird to stand on, but Aiwass, who had never raised a bird, didn't know what it was called.
The most bizarre thing was that there was a book lying quietly under the bird cage. On the left and right sides of the bird cage, there was a small window that could be entered but not exited. The outside could push in, but the inside could not go out.
This book was a few circles smaller than the textbook, but the thickness was about the same. It was about the same size as Aiwas's detective novel in his previous life.
It shone with golden light, like the reflection of sunlight on the lake. There were also protruding reliefs on it that looked like fish scales and wings.
On the golden cover, "The Secret of the Morning Crow" was written in the Elvish language with dragons and phoenixes flying.
"It will turn into a crow and fly away. So you need to put your hand in through these two windows to see... but don't take it out to see it for the sake of convenience. "
Meiya reminded: "Also, remember to read it during the day. If it is at night, the words in this book will become other words and it will lose its function as a secret book.
"As for its specific effects... you can take it back and read it yourself."
