"Master … Anveena is stuck!"
The glowing ghost stretched half of its body over the TV screen, but it was stuck there because it had failed to grasp the time to materialize. It could only raise its head pitifully and look over with its big, watery eyes.
"Wahhh!! What is this!? " Gilmei, who was the closest to Gilmei, was startled by the little maid who had half of her body sticking out and was surrounded by will-o '-the-wisps. She almost jumped up, but Little Bubble reacted immediately. She stretched out her little hand and grabbed the hem of Gilmei's skirt, causing the latter to fall to the ground in a sorry state. "Ahhh!"
"I say, as the Hero King, you shouldn't be afraid of ghosts, right?" I glanced sideways at Silly Egg's Heroic Spirit, who had been dragged to the ground by Little Bubble. I stood up and walked to the television, amused by the little maid's teary eyes. This house was truly filled with too many elements of happiness.
I grabbed Anveena's shoulders and used my special ability to turn her incorporeal. Then, I slowly pulled her out. As I pulled her out, I thought, if every Sadako was this slow-witted, then Ring would be a great children's movie.
"Ghost?" Gilgamesh repeated in a daze. "The specters in This King's era weren't this strange. Your family reared many strange things."
"Yes, yes, yes. Now, you even raised a glittering silly egg … Oh, done. Anveena, do you know your mistake?"
The little maid that had finally crawled out of the television pitifully floated in front of me. She explained softly, feeling wronged. "I only wanted to give Master a surprise!"
What kind of surprise would require a ghost to crawl out of the television!?
I unceremoniously knocked Anveena's head. I cursed in my heart. However, it had been a long time since I had knocked the little ghost's head with my hand. Be it the familiar feeling or the other party's weak protest, it was a nostalgic feeling.
Golden Sparkle, who was beside me, thought for a long time and suddenly revealed a look of anger. "Hey! Who are you calling a silly egg!? "
She would definitely have a lot in common with Sylvia.
At that moment, the light in the living room suddenly brightened. I originally wanted to educate Anveena, but I immediately felt a ripple in my mind. It seemed that a certain lazy bum had finally woken up?
Golden light constantly flowed in the living room. The shining feather phantoms gradually materialized. A holy aura spread out, accompanied by a faint hymn that reverberated in my ears.
The little angel made her debut once again!
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Alaya stretched his body. His golden eyes blinked twice before focusing on me.
"Ah, Brother Monarch, good morning!"
Good morning your ass!
This natural silly cat angel had been sleeping ever since she entered the world of Fate and had only just woken up. How could she greet me and say good morning as if nothing had happened? Just how messed up must a person's brain be to be so natural!
"No, Brother Monarch." Facing my ridicule, Alaya revealed his trademark blank expression and explained, "Because the reconstruction of Keplu's Star Zone has already begun, my mental power was summoned by Sister Gaia to help out. My main body could only sleep in Brother Monarch's mental world."
"Huh?" I was stunned. How could I have forgotten about Keplu who was still in the no man's land. "The reconstruction of the star system has already begun? Then why does Pandora look perfectly fine? "
If there was a need to rebuild the star system, as one of the world's arbitration bodies, Pandora should also have a part in it, right? Why was it that Alaya was the only one who was busy, while Pandora was still alive and kicking all day long?
Alaya blinked in confusion and replied blankly, "Back then, when Sister Gaia asked us to come up with our respective reconstruction plans, Sister Pandora suggested to transform all the celestial bodies in the entire Star Zone into planetary fortresses. However, it was ruled out by Sister Gaia."
So it was for the long-term peace of the universe?
In the end, the reason why Alaya hadn't come out for so long was because she was fully focused on preparing for the reconstruction of Keplu's Star Zone. No wonder she stretched and yawned the moment she appeared. She didn't look like she had slept for more than ten days.
Yawning unsteadily, the angel habitually knelt by my feet and placed one of her huge wings on my knee. According to the rules, this action of hers meant that she was going to sleep while she was enjoying combing her feathers.
Looking at the midday sun outside and the silly cat angel who was already snoring lightly, I could only shrug my shoulders and take out Alaya's specialized feather brush.
From start to finish, Gilgamesh had been staring blankly at the scene in the living room which had absolutely nothing to do with his "daily life". Only now did he start muttering to himself, "What a strange family, what a strange family, I've come to a strange place …"
While I was combing Alaya's feathers, I also secretly raised my head and looked in the direction of Sandora and Shallow Shallow. Although both of them were my lovers, it was just as Shallow Shallow had said, the current situation was that Sandora had sneaked out and I was secretly eating her, so it would be a lie to say that it wasn't awkward. However, these two girls had been whispering to each other ever since they got home. I had no idea what they were discussing, and they would even sneak a glance at me from time to time. This left me in a state of inexplicable disgust. How should I put it? Shallow Shallow's crazy brain and Sandora's belly full of bad ideas were always frightening. Although I was thankful that these two girls were still so harmonious right now, if they were discussing how to torture their boyfriends …
Then I would be sad.
However, when Sandora noticed my furtive gaze, she suddenly raised her head and gave me an expression that said, "Don't worry about everything."
Phew, it seemed that the situation wasn't that bad after all.
For people like us who were already treating saving the world from another world as our daily job, this successful return trip wasn't anything worth celebrating. As usual, we had a sumptuous lunch prepared by Anveena. During lunch, Anveena personally cooked our favorite dishes as a welcoming dinner. After that, it was time to rest.
Due to the exhaustion of this trip, everyone was anxious when they were dealing with Scarlet Moon. After returning home, even the energetic Lei Zi had already gone to her room to sleep. She was still a standard student, a top student in her own school and even the entire campus. Even if she occasionally skipped classes and no one could say anything about it, she couldn't always give herself a long vacation. She would be returning to the campus in two days, so she had to rest up and make up for the large number of classes that she had missed. Although from my point of view, for a powerful human like No.1, middle school classes weren't anything to be concerned about.
The few of us weren't in the mood to go out for a stroll. After lunch, Pandora and Visca returned to the Shadow City. They still needed to check on the situation at the base. Vega, of course, accompanied them. Sandora ran to the balcony to bask in the sun. After a full lunch, she slowly digested her food under the light ultraviolet rays. That was her favorite thing to do.
Little Bubble, on the other hand, was busy communicating with her new collection. Golden Shimmering, who was treated as a pet by Little Bubble, was one of the saddest people I had ever seen. The other one was the gunman Kuchulin, who had won the tears of everyone with his back view of Xianglin Sao — Alright, let's not talk about the man struck by lightning who might still be cramping in the Jingfeng Garden.
The ancient emperor of the Uruk Kingdom had collected countless treasures throughout his life. He was respected by many geeks as the greatest collector in history. Perhaps no one would have thought that such an existence would eventually become someone else's collection.
Under Little Bubble's forceful order, Gilgamesh had no choice but to open the doors of his treasury and share all of his collection. After all, after Little Bubble deciphered the principle of the King's Treasure, it was impossible for Golden Shimmering to protect his treasury. Furthermore, under normal circumstances, Gilgamesh was absolutely not allowed to leave Little Bubble's side. Even when Little Bubble snuggled into my arms and acted like a spoiled child, he would subconsciously tug on Little Bubble's clothes, afraid that this walking collectible would run away on its own. Yup, the result was very obvious.
The silly heroic spirit girl had no choice but to awkwardly be dragged close to me. Not only did she have to grit her teeth at the despicable man who indirectly caused her to fall into such a state, she also had to endure the sharp gazes from every corner. It could be from Sandora, Shallow Shallow, or even the two hopelessly obsessed twin sisters. And the only reason for this was that she was too close to a certain despicable harem man.
"Why does this king have to receive such treatment!" Gill's younger sister cried miserably. Even though Little Bubble was tugging on her clothes, she didn't dare to struggle. "Saber, Rider, even that lightning-struck spearman and the swordsman who bites off ten toothpicks a day can move freely."
"You should be happy." I patted Alaya who was lightly snoring on my shoulder. Amidst the latter's muffled groans, I stored him into my mind. "As a vassal army, being able to become the personal bodyguard of the Empire's little princess is something that many people yearn for."
I wasn't sure if she understood my words, but Little Bubble, who was lying on my lap, immediately raised her little head and raised her hands high in the air to express her feelings. Can I translate her words as "Because this new sparkling pet is very fun to play with, no one else can replace her"?
Time flowed leisurely until evening. Shallow Shallow, who was never idle, finally (Why did I say finally?), felt bored. Taking advantage of the fact that there was still some time before dinner, she bounced in front of me, who was busy setting up the iron rings on the table to train Jingle to drill into the fire rings. She shook my shoulder and said, "Ah Jun, Ah Jun! Accompany me to go shopping! "
You see, it's impossible to analyze how she suddenly thought of this.
I looked at the sky outside. The setting sun was already setting like the American stock market in 1857. I couldn't help but shrug my shoulders helplessly. "Lass, it's already so late, what's there to stroll on the streets?"
"Let's go! Even if we don't go to the streets, let's go to the riverbank for a walk! It's too boring to wait at home for dinner! "
If Sandora was here, she would definitely refute you!
Although I felt that going out at this hour wasn't a qualified otaku's behavior, it wasn't even a qualified fake otaku's behavior. However, looking at the expectant expression on Shallow Shallow's face, coupled with the fact that I was already used to this lass's random whims, I still smiled and obediently stood up.
"Alright, alright, I'll accompany you out — — Jingle, practice well at home."
At this moment, the little one was arranging the iron rings on the table neatly and trying to fly through them without touching her wings. She had completely forgotten about how she had protested when I asked her to drill through the iron rings ten minutes ago. The Goddess even treated this as an interesting game. After hearing my instructions, the little one didn't even bother to raise her head as she waved her hand and said, "Go on, go on! Jingle, you must learn the rattlesnake maneuver that Ah Jun talked about today! "
"I'm already in despair about my future." Slowly, from the sofa opposite me, the sorrowful sigh of Little Bubble, who was currently being used as a huge pillow by Little Bubble, whose eyes were almost unfocused after being tormented for half a day, could be heard.
The evening wind was very chilly, sweeping up one or two withered leaves by the roadside. Unknowingly, it was already late autumn. Speaking of which, another year had passed.
Ever since that bunch of Empire soldiers who came to freeload arrived on Earth, it seemed to have been almost three years.
Well, so it was only three years? So many things had happened. In my impression, it seemed to have crushed history in a spectacular manner. Perhaps only Clark Kent and a certain Van Druid, who were also busy saving the world every day, would have such a feeling of incongruity in time.
Most of the sun had already set, leaving behind a dazzling red arc that splashed its radiance across the horizon. The thin clouds in the sky were suffused with a red afterglow, reminding me of the Crimson Moon that had once been boiling, but had now become a ball of cold air in a spatial fragment.
Just like that, I strolled aimlessly on the river-shaded road surrounding the city. I didn't need to think about anything, I didn't need to do anything. I just needed to use my heart to feel the peace and quiet that I hadn't felt for a long time. Beside me was the girl I loved, gently snuggling up to me, a soft touch filled with sweetness and satisfaction. Heh, Savior, World Leader, Empire … Just a bunch of terms, this was the truly blissful time of my life!
"Hehe …" A soft chuckle suddenly sounded beside my ear. Tilting my head slightly, I saw a petite girl with a face full of joy, chuckling to herself. Astonished, I patted Shallow Shallow's head. "Lass, what are you laughing at?"
"That's great, nothing has changed." Shallow Shallow replied absentmindedly. Then, she lifted her head. "Ah Jun, speaking of which, it has been a long time since we were alone like this, together without any distractions."
I was stunned for a moment, stunned by Shallow Shallow's sudden calmness. However, I still nodded my head with a smile. "Indeed, I have always been tangled up with all sorts of things. There is almost no time for me to relax."
"Even though I like those lively days," Shallow Shallow flung my hand away and leaped onto the railing by the river. This stunning leap, which disregarded human physical strength, was as pleasing to the eye as a swallow returning to its nest. However, in the eyes of ordinary people, it was enough to make their jaws drop. "But, it isn't bad to have some peace every once in a while."
"I say, you should come down." I shrugged my shoulders. I was troubled by Shallow Shallow's carelessness. "This isn't the City of Shadows. If ordinary people were to see you, there would be trouble."
"Don't worry, no ordinary people will come." Shallow Shallow walked around the railing casually. Occasionally, she would step on the air to perform her aerial footwork. "On the other hand, Ah Jun, do you still remember the time when we came here to play when we were young?"
When we were young? I was stunned for a moment. However, those memories surfaced clearly in my mind. As long as it was something related to Shallow Shallow, no matter how insignificant it was, I would remember it. Speaking of which, I was still a shota back then and Shallow Shallow was still a loli. To be able to remember her from such a young age, did my lolicon soul really start to burn from the age of seven and a half?
Hey! Eyeball, please don't arrange such a imagination for me at such a tender moment!
"Back then, this place wasn't surrounded by the city's water system." I leaned on the railing and squinted my eyes against the sunset. "There was a huge ditch that was used to discharge floodwater a few decades ago. Both sides of the ditch were filled with green foxtail grass and other random weeds. Back then, you were really skinny and you were completely invisible in the bushes. In the end, you used that advantage to scare me. When I wasn't paying attention, you crawled into … Yup, into the bushes a few dozen meters away from the streetlight. You wanted to scare me by making me think that you got lost, right?"
"Wow! You actually remembered it … "Shallow Shallow exclaimed in surprise. Then, she stared at me blankly for a moment." Anyway, you didn't fall for it in the end. You even caught a frog from somewhere and threw it on my head when I wasn't paying attention to scare me! "
I rolled my eyes. "Then, that frog died after being fed by you for seven days."
"I thought that if I fed it a little more, it would turn into a prince." Shallow Shallow didn't look embarrassed at all. She just pouted. "Speaking of which, I don't think I ever succeeded in playing hide-and-seek right under your nose when we were young, right?"
"That's true. Back then, when you crawled into the female toilet, I almost risked my life to drag you out. In the end, my sister forcefully stopped me."
Things that happened when we were young … Even though they were just some trivial things, now that I think about it, it feels so warm.
Seriously. Suddenly, I felt a heavy body pressing against my shoulder. Shallow Shallow had leaned her entire body against mine. It was just like when we were young and she used me as a recliner when we were tired from playing. In a daze, her gentle voice rang in my ear. "Ah Jun, it's really as Sandora promised. You haven't changed at all. That's great."
"Silly girl …" I let out a complicated sigh. Then, I did something that I had gotten used to doing for many years. I lightly knocked on Shallow Shallow's head and said something that I had been familiar with for decades. "Let's go home and eat. Otherwise, my sister will be angry again today."
