sponded calmly and efficiently.Noe nodded.He had thought that Ranch would be late coming home.It was unexpected to see Lancy walk in with a copy of the "Laws of the Kingdom of Heston," its cover adorn...Chapter 229: Huberlianna Thanks Lancy With Tears

The streets outside the Iketerite Academy were relatively quiet, with small shops and cafes operating on both sides.

During the morning hours on a weekday, the storefront's lights cast a soft glow against the daylight, preparing to welcome midday customers. Occasionally, one or two employees could be seen wiping down glass or organizing shelves inside, getting ready for the day that had just begun.

Huberly and Talia walked slowly, leisurely immersed in the winter stillness.

"Speaking of which, Lanci's father, Mr. Noe, has now returned to the South Wan Tina border region. You are also from South Wan Tina, right Perhaps we could go back together next time"

Huperlan spoke.

That day, the competition Tata Tati went back before the end, so he wasn't able to see his father with Ranch after the competition.

Mr. Noel said that the match was unforgettable for him, and he regretted most in his life buying a ticket to the capital for Lance.

But since things have come to this, let them be as they are.

Noah hopes Huberly can take a vacation and go to the borderland with Lance. He thinks highly of Huberly, who is brilliant, principled, and the same age as Lance.

"...."

Although Talia isn't from Nan Wantina, the identity information that Lance had made for her previously did indeed list that border region as her domicile.

However, Talya had a good impression of the Southern Mantina border region. It was there that her decades-long journey began to take a turn, becoming like a dream.

Rance's housekeeper, Hans, and maid, Francine, were also very kind to her. She hadn't seen them in ages.

"Let's go back together next time, I'll take you to explore Nan Wantina. Also, there's something I'm curious about…"

Speaking of speaking.

Tallia seemed to be lost in thought.

"What"

Hubley inquired curiously.

"Didn't you say that Lance is good at painting"

Tallia could see that from watching Lance make his cards.

"Yeah, he seems really good at this, almost ridiculously so. But I've never seen him actually put serious effort into a drawing."

Huperlian nodded.

When Hans, the stationmaster at Nan Wan Tina, saw us off, he said that Lance had once painted a picture. It's a pity I didn't get to see it... I didn't think much of it at the time, but now for some reason I'm becoming more and more curious about what kind of painting it was.

Talya murmured.

Corlanche also said it was a portrait of a poor and wretched old woman.

She doesn't think there's anything particularly good-looking about it, either.

As they chatted, they turned a corner and entered a wide avenue in the heart of Ekathir. The atmosphere became slightly more lively. Flower shops lined the street, their windows displaying a dazzling array of winter blooms. Light music from nearby cafes drifted out, blending with the cold air to create a warm and soothing ambiance.

Finally, they crossed two streets and arrived at their residence, the Cat Boss Restaurant.

Under the familiar chandeliers and by the antique wooden staircase bathed in warm light, they quickly arrived at the door of the room at the end of the second floor.

Still visible is the exquisite attic made of wooden planks and sloping beams, with a bright glass skylight that brings in a whiff of fragrance like sweet fruit wine.

However, what was unusual was that in the center of this spacious living room, Lance was sitting at the table, his hands firmly gripping a magic carving knife and embossing tool, as if he had just been engrossed in carving an artwork.

On the table, lay a magical card with flowing lines and a pink glow.

"Ranch."

Hyberlian smiled and greeted him.

This month, Huberlian has gotten used to living here. Sometimes during the day, Ranch will come to Tarta's house to study how to make cards with Tarta.

But in recent days, with exam week upon them, the students have had no time for affairs. Lan Chi, on the other hand, has disappeared.

He focuses on a large project, spending most of his time locked in his dormitory's card-making workshop.

Today, she finally saw Lance again.

Lanche didn't take the exam and came to Tata's house early in the morning. Since Tata was going to pick up Huberlian, she left Lanche alone at home.

"I'm back."

Lanch saw their arrival. He stood up and looked at them.

"Hmm."

Taliya simply responded softly and placed the two boxes of cakes and pastries on the table.

I've already eaten at the shop at the Iktelys Academy. This is yours and yours.

Ranci hesitated for a moment upon hearing this.

"Tata, if you want it, you can have this piece."

Lanchi found that after Tallia's voice fell, his gaze was still fixed on the cake without moving away.

Her stomach was bottomless. If it weren't for the consciousness of body management that unmarried women still had, these two cakes probably wouldn't have lasted until now.

"……"

Taliya turned to look at Lance.

Lance obediently lowered his head and stopped talking.

He picked up the disposable plastic knife that came attached to the edge of the box and quietly cut the cake into a third.

Hughbert smiled wryly, understanding Lance's gesture. She went to the side cabinet and took out a small plate and fork, cutting herself a third of the cake and placing it on top.

"Tata, let's eat together."

Huberly presented a small plate holding two-thirds of the cake to Tata.

> "……"

Talya silently accepted the plate.

After a slight hesitation, she ate with a blank expression.

She thought human thinking was very strange, doing this kind of sharing that had no benefit.

For some reason, she unexpectedly found this two-thirds of a cake to be slightly more delicious than the whole one she had eaten at school.

"By the way, Lance, what were you just doing"

Huperlyan sat beside Lanche, gazing at the card Lanche was fiddling with at the table.

It was still a sealed card, not bound to anyone.

This, these days Tata successfully produced the masterpiece. This morning I just finished preparing the wolf, so I had time to come to Tata's house to get another card, but the name of this card is a bit inappropriate, so I just made some minor modifications.

He handed the card to Huberlian.

Elegant Styling

Category: Spell Card

Grade: Pink Sacred

Class: 4

Effect: Only affects the targeted object upon touch. Modifies its hairstyle, allowing for hair removal, color change, and slight hardening or softening.

Note: This hairstyle doesn't suit you, I've adjusted it for you.

"...."

Hubberlyan doesn't know what Card's real name is.

But she felt it might be better not to change it.

"Don't mess with my card."

Talya frowned slightly, looking unhappy.

She went to pick up Huberlian and discovered that the card's name and note had been changed by Ranch.

But she didn't say much either. Now her tolerance for Ranch had unknowingly increased.

Anyway, this card was obtained from the Purgatory Corridor Academy, according to the principles of magic cards. According to the trading agreement, it belongs to Lance, who has paid for information on the Shadow World Record Program as the content of the trade.

Here is your translation:

"Huberlian, here's your card.

Ranch placed the [Elegant Styling] in front of Huberleyan.

He was just waiting for Huberlian to come back.

In battle, he rarely encounters enemies and doesn't want them to touch him.

This card is best used by a Huppermague with invincibility, shield, and invisibility.

She can not only be used to take damage but also actively go invisible to secretly help others change their hairstyles.

"No, no, no, it's better not to."

Huberly was startled by this, put down her fork, and waved him off.

This card with a full dose of sarcasm, she dare not take it!

What banning words, what kneeling, adding up to none of it will get this card for someone to change their Mediterranean hairstyle to raise the level of hatred…

Anyone who uses it will be killed if the person who released it doesn't make up for it.

This card, at its core, is similar in function to self-destruct cards like "Doom Spark."

"Hyberlian, this journey to the North Continent is just the two of us. You getting stronger means I get stronger, our combat power is now bound together."

Lan Qi gazed at her sincerely, pushing the card closer to her face by half a centimeter.

…"

Huberly stared at the card, silent for several seconds. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she felt as if Ranch was delivering a death knell to her.

"Okay."

Huperlyan could only accept the hairstyle makeover with tears.

She felt she had a way out.
