The Moonlight Swordsman

The kids also went inside their new place and quickly chose their rooms.

Oliver, Seth, and Justin each chose a room on the second floor, while Emma and Ruth chose a single room on the ground floor, leaving one for Aizel.

They quickly became acquainted with the house, and after a few minutes of excitement, they all left the house and went to the market.

As they prepared to travel to Waterfall Valley, Aizel and Daisy purchased some equipment, meat, spices, and beer.

They then went to book their carriage for the trip.

While looking for a carriage, Aizel ran into young Alex, who had previously driven him and Alisha to the waterfall valley.

"Hello Aizel, big brother; I didn't know you had your own family," Alex said while greeting him, Daisy, and the children.

Daisy blushed as the children began to laugh upon hearing this.

Aizel rubbed his nose in annoyance, wondering why no one had yet taught this kid a lesson.

"Are you free right now? Could you take us to Waterfall Valley?" Aizel asked.

"Absolutely, it will be my pleasure, but how will you return from there?" Alex asked while Aizel facepalmed himself.

"I totally forgot about that. Could you perhaps come at night to take us back?" He asked.

"Sure, no problem at all if you offer me a good price," Alex said while rubbing his hand.

"How much do you want?"

"You are totaling 8 people, so around 50 silver," Alex said while Aizel nodded in agreement.

All of them entered the carriage as they headed towards the Waterfall Valley.

"Aizel, who was that pretty lady who gifted us a house?" Ruth asked as they were traveling.

"Her name is Leah; you can consider her a friend of mine," Aizel replied with a smile.

"Aizel, what about your parents'?" Oliver asked while Aizel sighed and responded.

"I am just like you guys; I don't have parents."

"We heard you can use magic just like Daisy; could you teach us all, please?" Seth asked while the rest of the children looked at him with pleading looks.

"Well, yes, but I can't guarantee you'll be able to learn." He responded while the rest of the children high-fived each other. Clearly excited about learning magic.

Just like that, they continued to chat throughout the entire carriage ride until they arrived at the waterfall valley.

"Alright, you guys have fun; I will come to pick you up at night," Alex said as he dropped them off and headed back to town.

Meanwhile, the children's eyes sparkled as they looked around the area at the yellow flower fields. They didn't go too far near the Gonda ruins because Aizel and Daisy didn't want to run into anyone who was just looking for ruins.

"First, let's set up the tent and woodfire," Aizel said while the children helped him set up the tent.

The kids then went outside to play while Aizel and Daisy built a woodfire and began preparing some bbq meat.

"I wish I could see these fields at night. I have heard they are quite beautiful." Daisy sighed while grilling some meat on skewers.

"Isn't there any way to treat your blindness?" Aizel asked.

"There is, but do you think something like that will be available to this small town? Even if I visit some big city, I won't be able to buy it because to buy that type of potion, only people who are from big families or have worked for them can buy it, or else you have to gain merit for the kingdom.

"I can't leave Lilly alone, and I don't think it is safe for a blind girl to work for any noble family," Daisy spoke while Aizel pondered the situation.

"How about this: when I visit the magic institute in the future, I will find a way to buy it for you," Aizel said.

"Didn't I warn you not to trust anyone?"

"And didn't I tell you that if it's you, it doesn't matter?" Aizel replied while Daisy smiled after hearing that.

"Well, let's just call the kids and eat before the meat gets cold." She said while they called the kids and had the bbq meat.

While Aizel and Daisy sip Alesmith beer with meat.

"So, Daisy, do you have any wishes for your life?" Aizel suddenly asked, which startled Daisy for a minute.

"Hmm, apart from regaining my eyesight, I always wanted to see the night, the stars, and the moon." She replied while slowly sipping beer.

"Hehe, your wish will be granted soon," Aizel said while giggling.

"What about you?" She asked this time.

"Apart from learning about magic, hmm, I don't know, I haven't really thought about it." He replied.

"Isn't there anything you want?"

Aizel turned to face the children, who were laughing and playing with one another. There was a cool breeze in the air, a beautiful sun that was set, and a yellow flower field that was turning white.

"Maybe a family?" Aizel thought in his mind while, suddenly, Emma came running towards him.

"Aiiizzzzz..." Emma spoke while Aizels stood up.

She gripped Aizel's hand tightly and began spinning in circles with him. Aizel and Emma both burst out laughing as they spun in a circle quickly.

As Emma tripped over Aizel, he fell to the ground. They both started laughing, and the rest of the kids joined in. Daisy sat in the field with a smile on her face.

"I hope you can laugh with the kids for the rest of your life," Daisy said softly.

Meanwhile, Alora was looking down at the scene from above the sky, where they were. She had returned to her original form, standing at least 5 and a half feet tall with a great hourglass figure and massive bosom. Clearly, she was the total opposite of how she appeared on Earth.

"Aizel If you want to live a life like that, you must become much stronger. You have no idea what this world has in store for you. The world in which you intend to build your new life will doom you. I hope you realize this sooner rather than later before something bad happens.

"I'm not sure how I'll be able to help you if that happens."
