"You little brat, all you do is bully this old man!"
Archmage Melder clutched his chin, clearly in considerable pain.
"Hmph, this will teach you a lesson. You can't be late next time!"
Catherine suppressed a smile.
"Alright, alright, let me ask you something. Who is that human man?"
Following Archmage Meld's gaze, Catherine saw Joey looking embarrassed.
"He was just an ordinary human man who used to be my guard at Tiger Stone Mountain!"
"Ordinary? I don't think he's ordinary at all. He has powerful spiritual energy fluctuations. If possible, I think he could become a powerful mage!"
"Him? Powerful mental energy fluctuations? Meld, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Catherine looked on with suspicion. Her impression of Joey was just that he was a joking human man. Although he was not weak in combat, she would never believe that he had strong mental energy fluctuations and would become a mage in the future.
"We'll find out if we've misjudged him or not once we take him to Ashfurnace City!"
"But the spaceship you used to come back this time really surprised me!"
Melder didn't dwell on that topic and simply avoided it.
"Yes, this spaceship is his too; he earned it back!"
Speaking of this spaceship, Catherine also felt very proud.
"His? Earned back?"
Meld couldn't imagine what kind of job an ordinary human man would need to earn to own such a rare spaceship.
"Let them into the city!"
Melder reminded Catherine of something.
"good!"
Catherine waved to Joey and the others, signaling them to follow her.
Joey glanced at Catherine's father again, but made no move for a moment.
"Let's go into the city. You are Catherine's friends!"
Catherine's father also managed a forced smile.
"Yes, yes, let's go into the city, we're friends!"
(But they're just friends, I'm your boyfriend!)
Joey nodded and walked quickly toward Catherine.
Everyone boarded the airship in Ashfurnace City.
Numerous airships and warships began to head back, while the spaceships that had been hovering on the sea surface suddenly descended into the water until they were all submerged.
Joey watched the spaceship disappear and put the controller back into his waist pouch.
