Joy, who had been invited to Allen Estate, had been very excited since the night before.

She had asked not only the maids but also her brother and mother what kind of outfit would be best for the occasion, thought about what kind of gifts to bring, and smiled as she wondered what she would talk about with Lucy once they met.

On the day of the visit, as soon as morning arrived, she got up, completed her preparations, and headed towards Allen Estate.

It had only been a few days since she parted ways with Lucy, but why did it feel like such a long time had passed?

Looking back, in the last few years, Lucy and I were always together.

At the academy, we trained together, spent our holidays together, and even in the battles that followed, we were always side by side. So, it made sense that I felt her absence.

Honestly, I wanted to go meet Lucy as soon as the family business was taken care of.

If it weren’t for the fact that I had to discuss things with the family’s mages, I would have done so already.

But those people, once they started talking about magic, got me all worked up, and when my father joined in, the situation escalated.

We called in Erginus for advice, and then the Goddess herself joined, and it turned into a mess.

Sigh. Even now, just thinking about it makes me groan.

What were those two thinking?

At first, I thought it was impressive how they focused on every little detail, trying to push their opinions through, but as time went on, it started to feel like a petty pride contest between kids.

If it were Lucy, she probably would have said that out loud.

Oh, forget it. Let’s not think about it anymore.

From now on, I’m going to have fun with Lucy, and I don’t want to waste any time thinking about that nonsense.@@novelbin@@
