I've been walking on thin ice all my life, you tell me...can I make it to the other side?

Klevi and Peruvili ran as fast as they could and finally returned to the [Heathouse] within the time set by Kugavina.

It’s still the familiar castle-like building, and it’s still the familiar everyone.

But...it seems like someone is missing?

Krevy looked around, searching for someone.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard Krevy looked, the woman who was supposed to be standing at the door of [House of Hearth] was not there.

"That's weird, Pepe. Where is [Mother]?"

Krevy poked Peruvili and asked.

Peruvian calmly looked around at the people gathered inside the door, and then noticed the Fatui soldiers in the dark.

"I don't know. Something must have delayed her. Mother is very busy, so it's normal for her not to be here. Let's go in and ask the others."

Peruvian shook her head and spoke in a calm voice.

"Yeah, indeed."

Krevy nodded, obviously agreeing with what Peruvian said.

Afterwards, the two stopped talking. In a dangerous place like [Heatland House], the more they talked, the faster they might die.

Kugavina not only teaches them martial arts, but also controls their minds and trains them into war machines that are loyal to the Ice Queen and absolutely obedient to her orders.

Self-awareness, this unstable thing is something that Kugavina does not allow the sword in her hand to have.

Although Krevi and Peruvian returned within the specified time, they were still the last ones to return.

Therefore, when they entered the [House of Hearth], they inevitably received many people's attention.

Among these gazes, there is curiosity, envy, admiration, kindness, but also jealousy, hostility, and disgust.

People are always complicated.

Even these children, who are no more than 16 years old at most, have already lost the innocence that children should have under Kujavina's training.

Therefore, people like Krevi are very rare in [House of Hearth].

This is also the reason why Peruvian often calls Krevi a fool.

How to survive in [Heartland House] without being cruel or crazy?

Krevie simply ignored those malicious gazes, but Peruvian glanced at those guys indifferently.

Krevy would tolerate these people without any bottom line, but Peruvili would not.

No one can bully Krewei or her friends.

Compared with Krevi, Peruvili's deterrent power was undoubtedly extremely great, and those people didn't even have the courage to look her in the eye.

After all, Peruvian's eyes were ominous. If he looked into her eyes, his luck might be stolen by her.

It's no secret in Hearth House that Peruvian is burdened with an unknown dangerous curse.

Especially since the person behind the scenes pushing for the spread of the secret was the kind-hearted "Mother".

Krevy found a good friend.

The other party seemed to have come back very early and was chatting with a few people about what he had seen and heard in the past few days.

That was the girl who had carried out the mission to assassinate Silin van Helleseth with them last time.

The other person was wearing a light-colored short skirt and a white top, and her golden hair shone brightly in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Sophia, a girl who has a very good relationship with Krevi, is also one of the only two people in [House of Hearth] who can talk to Peruvili.

Hmm... they should be considered a team of three, right?

Maybe……

Sophia noticed Klevi walking over. She waved to the people surrounding her, said goodbye to them with a smile, and then greeted Klevi.

"Little Weiwei, how are you? Are you hungry? Did you have fun these days?" Sophia crossed her arms, raised her little face, and her brows were full of pride.

"Do you know where I went these past three days? I'll tell you, I found an ancient ruin, beat off the treasure-stealing group there, and then I went deep into the ruins alone."

"Xiao Weiwei, you would never imagine what I found in the ruins?"

Sophia spoke with great joy, her tone full of boasting.

Then she took out a golden axe out of thin air.

"This is a legendary weapon created by ancient alchemists. It can change its size according to the user's body shape. There is also a space array engraved on it, allowing the user to use it whenever he wants."

Klevy's gaze rested on the golden axe in Sophia's hand, and she couldn't help but reveal her envy.

Yaya’s luck is still as good as ever!

I'm so envious. Next time I want to go treasure hunting with Yaya. Yes! And I want to bring Pepe along.

"Congratulations, Yaya, on finding a treasure. If I had known earlier, I would have been with you. Maybe I could have gotten an ancient treasure, too."

Krevy sincerely congratulated Sophia.

"Heh, heh! I told you not to come with me."

Sophia sheathed her weapon, put her hands on her hips, and snorted proudly.

"By the way, how were you and Peruvian having fun in Fontaine? Did you have fun? Isn't the big city very prosperous?"

"Hehe, Fontaine is indeed very prosperous. Pepe and I ate a lot of cakes there, bought clothes, and experienced diving..."

Klevy smiled and shared with Sophia the interesting things that happened to her and Peruvian in the past three days in Fontaine.

Of course, Clavi did not say anything about the fact that Peruvian had recruited a group of treasure thieves as his subordinates.

This matter is Peruvian's secret, and Krevy wants to keep it secret for her good friend.

Klevi and Sophia continued to talk about many interesting things. Peruvian was not good at dealing with such occasions, so she just stayed beside the two of them quietly and listened to them talk.

After chatting for a while and catching up on the past, Krevie took the opportunity to express the doubts in her heart.

"Oh, that's right! Yaya, I noticed that today seems a little different from usual."

"Well, what's the difference?"

Sophia asked, tilting her head.

"That's right. In the past, when we came back, [Mother] would stand at the door and count the number of people. But why didn't we see [Mother] this time? Yaya, do you know what [Mother] did?"

Krevy said.

"Oh, about this matter! Oh, you guys came back late, I don't know it's normal."

Sophia chuckled and explained.

"Some time ago, someone came from the Fontaine official side. It seems to be the special patrol team of the Shadow Chaser Court. They said that [Mother] violated the Fontaine law. The court summoned [Mother] to try her."

“So this time [Mother] didn’t count the number of people at the door.”

"Oh~ That's it!"

Krevy nodded and said.

"Then let's go back. The earliest that [Mother] can come back is tomorrow afternoon. We can't stop our daily training. Otherwise, if [Mother] sees us, she will be angry."

"Yeah, that's right." Sophia agreed.

It was obvious that neither Krevy nor Sophia thought that anything would happen to Kujavina.

If Kugavina was so prone to trouble, they wouldn't have stayed in Hearth House for so long, and Kugavina wouldn't have become the Fatui's executive officer.

Even Peruvian thought so.

Although she would have liked Kujavina to just leave and never come back.

But Peruvian knew that was impossible, and even if Kugavina was really punished by the Fontaine Law, the Fatui would never give up the Hearth House.

By then, perhaps another executive officer will be sent to manage [House of Hearth].

In that case, they would have to face a new and unknown enemy.

Rather than an unknown executive, Peruvian would rather have Kugavina manage the Hearth House.

It is easier to deal with a [Mother] who has a certain understanding than a new and unknown executive.
