NORMAL POV
That's how day after day they pass together. Over time, they became more and more familiar. They share information they do not know. Aqua feels like she has a new sister and Ruby is happy to have her first friend.

The sound of heavy and fast footsteps could be heard.
"AAQUUUAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!"
The screams of someone startled Aqua and Ruby who were relaxing while eating a snack at the table. A slightly messy-looking woman gasped for breath in front of the door.
"Master?" startled Aqua.
He immediately ran over and hugged Aqua and wiggled at her cheeks.
"I missed you!!! What the fuck is that letter you sent!? Because of that letter I'm gonna get my job done and go home, you know?" lamented the woman.
Ruby could not speak of seeing it. There are many reasons why Ruby is like that. Aside from being shocked by the woman's sudden behavior, the other reason was that Ruby knew the woman very well.
"Va…"
"WAH!!!!!! It turns out there is Miss Arsilla! Is my student being disrespectful to Miss?"
Ruby's speech was cut off by Ashlan's question. Ruby was confused, had to continue or not. He just nodded answering his question.
"Master, stop doing that in front of the guests," Aqua said resentfully.
Aqua took off Ashlan's embrace.
"Guests. yeah."
Ashlan silently watched Ruby from top to bottom. Although invisible, Ruby was nervous because she was seen like that.
"Miss Arsilla!"
"Yes!"
"I've been talking about you being in my house with your father. So you don't have to worry. Now your father's in the magic tower. Here's the teleportation paper, go see your father. There's something I want to leave personally with my students" Ashlan said kindly, but there was a firm tone in it.
Just hearing that, Aqua already knew that her teacher was in serious mode. Usually Ashlan is a childish woman who likes to play around, but sometimes she is serious. And when Ashlan is like that, Aqua will have great respect for him.
"Magic tower? Does the master work there? Yes, the master once said that most witches work in magic towers anyway."
Ruby looked at Aqua, she was confused as to whether she should just leave Aqua. He wants to see his father soon, but he is also reluctant to leave Aqua. Aqua who noticed Ruby's gaze smiled warmly.
"Go away, don't worry about me. Someday I will see you again. We are bound anyway" said Aqua.
Ruby nodded, she posed a greeting ala noble lady. Ruby also did not forget to thank for all that Aqua had done to her and also to Ashlan who had helped her. Ashlan looked at Ruby with a hard-to-understand look. No one knew what Ashlan was thinking at the time.
"Miss Arsilla, Aqua will not be able to accompany you at your 12th birthday party, nor will she be able to accompany you for the years after. There are a few things Aqua should do. But I can guarantee that during the celebration of your maturity, I will bring Aqua to accompany you myself" Ashlan said confidently.
"Being the fiancee of the Marquess' only daughter is not that easy. Even if his family agreed to it, the imperial family would not let it go" Ashlan thought at the time.
"I don't mind that, ma'am. You don't have to worry, but I'll hold onto what Ashlan's mistress is saying" Ruby replied politely.
"Don't be so stiff, just call me Brother. You make me sound old" Ashlan said as she patted Ruby on the head.
"I understand. Brother Ashlan."
After that Ruby left the house with a teleportation paper that led to the magic tower. As Ashlan said, Ruby's father was waiting for her there. He was furious at the person who dared to attack his only daughter. About what happened to Ruby and her family, will be told at a later time.
"Can you give me an explanation?"
Ashlan's question was heavy. He said it with a pressing tone.
"Everything is as I have explained in the letter," Aqua replied without being distressed. Aqua had often faced this kind of pressure when she faced her superiors in her previous life. So Aqua was not too intimidated by him.
Ashlan was silent, saying nothing. But that gripping aura had only increased.
"Ha~ah's. You mean all that, this?" ashlan asked while showing me a letter.
Aqua's letter barely explained anything. But Aqua did not feel guilty at all, she was used to writing a short letter first.
"Tell me what really happened from start to finish!!" ashlan exclaimed while holding her head in dizziness.
Aqua obeys her teacher, she explains what happened from the beginning she met Ruby until her master came without missing a single thing. Ashlan listened carefully. The more he heard, the more dizzy Ashlan's head was made.
"That's what you mean it just happened, huh."
Ashlan walked towards Aqua. And help him stand up. After Aqua stood up properly, Ashlan pinched Aqua's cheek to the side like a marshmallow.
"Kwan swudwah kwu jwelwaskwan," said Aqua not clear. (I have explained )
Ashlan was upset, but what had happened could not be returned.
"Aqua. Do you know what it means to be Miss Arsilla's fiancee?" tanyanya tired.
"Something troublesome will definitely happen," Aqua replied without hesitation.
"That's you know, even so why did you accept it?"
"Master, I can't just let such a small child be in danger."
"Explain!"
".... The master may not believe it. But in the future, the vampire blood in him will go berserk because of something. And the moment it went berserk, the Crown Prince would probably get hurt. If that happens, the girl will definitely get severe punishment from the empire," Aqua explained seriously.
Ashlan listened well, she was silent and busy thinking about something herself.
"Vampire blood raging? It must be because of the Demon King. In a few more years, the resurrection of the Demon King will come. But so far only me and a few of the high-ranking magic towers know, how did Aqua know that?"
"All right, I trust you. You must have a good reason, because I know you're not a narrow-minded person."
"Masters…"
Aqua's eyes twinkled, she didn't expect her master to believe it. Because of this incident, Ashlan increasingly respected Aqua.
Somehow Ashlan was irritated by Aqua's twinkle in the eye.
"What's this upset feeling? This kid, he didn't seem to respect me before, "sad Ashlan was on target.
"Because of that, I will train you Epic-level magic in 1 year. After that, we will discuss later," said Ashlan.
Aqua nodded, "Finally Epic-level magic," delighted Aqua.
"We don't have much time. Although it seems cruel, I have to increase Aqua's strength as much as possible. It's possible that in 1 year I won't be able to train this boy again. The Demon King related job could not be handed over to anyone else. In order for me to work on it calmly, this kid has to be strong enough that I don't have to worry about it."
