Chapter 485: The Day of Leaving

“Here comes the ship.”

A sail peeked over the end of the light gray horizon. There were no other merchant ships around, so it had to be a ship from Sleeping Island.

“Uh-huh,” Tilly gently replied, her voice muffled by the sounds of the sea washing onto the shoals. She had turned her back to Roland, so he could not see her face.

“We’re leaving now,” Andrea said regrettably. “I really liked your domain, and I’ve no idea if I can make the same delicious ice cream bread as you have here when I’m back at Sleeping Island.”

Along with a bolt rifle, Roland had given her the ice cream recipe as well. “As long as you have eggs and milk, it won’t taste too bad. When you come back to Border Town… no, City of Neverwinter next time, I’ll have more delicious food for you.”

“Will it be even tastier than ice cream?” Andrea held her stray hair and said with a laugh, “You’d better not lie to me. I have your word.”

“If you’re reluctant to leave, you could stay here,” Ashes laid out her hands and said. “Princess Tilly definitely won’t mind leaving such a gluttonous witch like you behind—you won’t be allowed to eat as much as you want on Sleeping Island.”

“Is that true? I won’t give you any ice cream when we get back.” Andrea stared at her. “You should just eat your dried fish and drink your fishy soup every day.”

As they continued to bicker, the sailboat neared the coast. The flying pink flag on the top of the mast told everyone it was the Charming Beauty.

Shavi summoned the invisible barrier, which allowed her to travel and move between the shoal and the ship, enabling her to carry all the books, goods and materials to the ship, without docking. Then, she carried the card-playing three and Princess Tilly, but as Tilly was stepping into the barrier, Roland called her name.

“… What?” She turned her head, her eyes revealing a complex mixture of emotions.

Roland was not good at saying goodbye and had stopped her without forethought. He took a deep breath and shouted, “If you have any problems on Sleeping Island, you can tell me. I’ll do my best to help you. And remember that you’re always welcome in the City of Neverwinter.”

“… ” Tilly smiled after a moment. “Thank you, and you too.”

“Goodbye, everyone.” Andrea and Shavi shouted while waving their hands.

Ashes did not say anything and just waved her hand too.

After their farewell, the barrier carried the witches to the Charming Beauty quickly.

“What’s wrong? You don’t want them to leave?” Nightingale asked from behind him.

“I just think it’s a pity. There are 300 witches… It would be wonderful if they all moved to the Western Region,” said Roland with a fake casualness.

“Yeah, and then you’d feel even more guilty.” Nightingale rolled her eyes at him.

“Guilty?” Roland felt terrified and asked.

“Why? Living here is better than living on Sleeping Island, isn’t it?” Anna was also confused.
