Chapter 1242

After chatting a bit about the house, Elysia seized the chance to talk to her dad.

"Dad, in a while, I'll need to take the kids on a little trip. I won't be able to bring you and Mom along, but you two can just stay here and wait for us. I'll come back as soon as I'm done, I promise."
