The destroyer, who had tied her gray hair into two ponytails, raised her hands to cover her eyebrows and looked towards the grassland in the distance. "Alas... I can't even see a vine that brews blood."
"Yin~ You're so old, but you're still in your middle school years?"
"What? I'm your elder, okay?" The vampire put his hands on his hips and turned back to scold, "Besides, don't you always mention that toy and say something like 'the hero's magic weapon'?"
The hero waved the heavy broadsword in his hand and said, "This is not a toy. This is romance. But old antiques won't understand."
Vampire: "Old Gu Dong?! Stop right there!"
Hero: "You can't catch me, you can't catch me. It's really hard to walk. I should eat more next time~"
Vampire: "No Road Race!"
The two little ones started to play outside the palace, one in front and one behind. Aurora, who was planting roses in the flower field, saw this and hurriedly warned them in fear.
"Stop fighting, and be careful with my flowers. Don't let them trample them!"
The goddess of fate, who went to help everyone pack up the quilts and put them out to dry, wanted Janus to make fewer trips, but she ended up carrying too much and couldn't see the way, so she missed a step and fell to the ground when she walked out of the palace.
She let out a soft "ah", took off her stockings and looked at her bruised knee.
The skin was broken, and blood was oozing out in bright colors, attracting the two people who were fighting over there.
Vampire & Hero: "How is it? Are you okay?"
The goddess of fate wiped the tears from her eyes and tried to smile, "No, it's okay, but the quilt... I'm sorry..."
"Who cares about these, idiot?" The vampire handed over a handkerchief, "Be careful next time. If you arouse my blood-sucking desire, I'll drain you dry!"
"Drink, drink? I, I will pay attention..."
The hero handed over the sword in his hand, "Oh, use it as a crutch. You can learn how to use it. I think you will fall again in the future."
Vampire: "You guys, are you like this to everyone?"
Hero: "Eh? I can't hear you, so you should eat more. It's hard for you to talk since you are so much taller than me."
Vampire: "Hey! You're only taller than me—
The goddess of fate watched the two of them insulting each other with tears in her eyes, covered her knees and laughed, but then embarrassedly restrained her expression, and took the handkerchief away after the bleeding stopped.
"I'll wash it and give it back to you... Thank you!"
Vampire: "Ah? No, give it to me. I like the smell of blood the most. You don't have to wash it."
Hero: "Why don't you lick your knees to disinfect them? Isn't that killing two birds with one stone~?"
Vampire: "It's boring to argue with you every day. Go away, I have to help her quilt!"
Hero "You are so small, what are you taking pictures of-Puff, cough cough cough, wait a minute! It's all dust!"
The goddess of fate looked at the two people who had swapped roles at a loss. She wanted to remind them not to use the quilt as a toy, but she was afraid of being accused of meddling.
She was timid and was in a dilemma. She didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, she saw Qiu Yuan coming from a distance, and hurriedly reminded her in a low voice: "That... Miss Qiu, Miss Qiu Yuan...!"
Vampire & Hero: "What?!"
The two stopped and looked back at the same time, and found that the aircraft carrier with a unique taste was indeed coming towards them. They hurriedly threw the quilt on the thin rope to hang it, then turned around and ran.
He did not pursue the grudge, but walked slowly to stand in front of the goddess of fate, taking out the disinfectant and pink Band-Aid that he had prepared long ago.
"Janus came to wake me up just now, and I happened to be out of medicine at home, so I took some extra... It just so happens that it seems to come in handy."
"Drink? Ah, for me..." The goddess of fate was very surprised and took it hesitantly, "Thank you, thank you..."
Qiu Yuan shook his head, "You don't need to say thank you, it's me who should... repent."
Goddess of Destiny: "Confession? Why...?"
"Because I hurt you."
"What does this mean..." The destroyer thought while holding the disinfectant in his hand. "...Ah, is it because of the quilt being dried...? No, I wanted to help, but..."
Yuanchou sighed softly, "...go home early at night, and be careful not to step on anything. Spraining your ankle is very painful, understand?"
Goddess of Destiny: "Drink? Yes... Yes, I remember it."
The nun nodded, walked past the destroyer and went down the stairs. She turned her head and reminded Aurora who was watering the seedlings not far away:
"The fence on the east side of the rose garden seems to be broken. Remember to check it out to prevent them from tripping and getting hurt while playing."
Aurora was standing in the flower field, stunned. "...Ah, the wind was really strong yesterday. Thank you, Miss Yuanchou. I'll go right away."
The nun shook her head. "You're welcome."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Aurora hurriedly added, "Breakfast is in the pot, with chili, oh? It's your favorite, so...be happy?"
Qiu Yuan stopped and looked at her, smiling slightly.
"Well, thank you."
Chapter 1058 Crystal Ball
Yuanchou went to the restaurant, but only stayed for a few minutes.
After a brief stay, she turned and left, passing through the huge auditorium, walking through the corridors lined with oil paintings and ornaments on both sides, and then stepping into the fragrant garden.
In the sunlight, the nun lowered her head slightly and walked forward in silence.
The warm breeze blows towards you, wrapped in fragrance, which is the scent of fresh grass and trees around you, announcing the existence of soil and life.
The pink and white butterflies flying around, the branches and leaves swaying in the wind, the faint laughter coming from afar...
None of this has anything to do with the nun who walks briskly with her head down.
The plump and beautiful girl seemed to be pushed by something to take steps, and struggled forward like a survivor trying to survive on a cliff.
The road she was walking on was one that she was so familiar with that she was tired of it, and the scenery passing by was one that she had no time to notice.
She had no time to dream, but just struggled in vain, again and again.
The door in the corner of the side hall was still covered with dust, the wood was damp and peeling, and the metal was curled and rusted.
In the past, she would clean up a bit when she came over, but now she has no intention at all. She just opens the door and walks in, not even bothering to clean the rust on her gloves.
The sound of high heels hitting the stone surface should have been crisp, but after being reflected in the narrow space, it became noise, which was disturbing.
With a tense face, Yuanchou walked down step by step, vaguely calling for something in his heart.
Until she had walked the whole way and stood in front of the door, she raised her hand to take the key hanging on the wall next to her, inserted it into the hole and turned the lock.
"click"
"cluck cluck cluck"
The unpleasant smell of dampness rushed out, but Yuanchou was unmoved. He walked straight into the inner room and pushed open the door.
There are still pieces of debris all over the ground, made of stone, metal, glass, plastic...
In the relatively clean open space in the middle, there was a lit oil lamp. The dim light shone from the glass cover to the surroundings, dispersing the darkness and bringing some warmth.
Yuanchou walked slowly forward, bent over and picked up the lamp, and after a moment of silence, walked towards the wall opposite him.
The flickering flames illuminated the wall and freed the words from the darkness.
【Wait for me to come back】
.. "
“…..
"Ah……"
When Yuanchou's slender figure was illuminated by the firelight, it cast an extremely unbalanced shadow on the ground.
"Will you really... come back?"
"Her Majesty the Queen..."
"I, I think... Miss Yuanchou seems... not in a good mood..."
After the Goddess of Destiny expressed her opinion, she looked up at the others cautiously. Seeing that no one had any intention of refuting her, she felt relieved.
Aurora took a sip of her tea and nodded. "I felt the same way when I saw her this morning. Her expression looked... too forced."
"Ha, maybe it's because of her old age." The hero wiped his broadsword, "We should show more care to the elderly instead of holding a small meeting here."
Jarvis knocked on the table twice. "Don't make it sound like we are isolating her. In fact, we are the ones being isolated, right?"
The word "isolation" is too heavy. The goddess of fate did not dare to respond casually and just remained silent.
The vampire is of a higher generation, so she must take the responsibility of guiding the direction of the conversation.
Therefore, the destroyer, who seemed naive but actually knew everything, opened his mouth to cut off the topic that might lead to conflict and brought the matter back to its original level.
"I think she is hiding something from us, but she definitely didn't do it on purpose. Maybe... she has her reasons?"
Albion thought about the direction and said, "Senior Yuanchou didn't behave like this before, but he suddenly became abnormal today."
The hero interrupted, "I don't think there's anything unusual. Everyone can be in a bad mood. The props I put in the quilt to scare people didn't work this morning. I'm also very unhappy."
Janus remembered what Yuanchou had said to him in the morning, breathed a sigh of relief, and clenched his fist in support:
"I, I also think what Yingxiong said is right, she...she may just...lose control, she didn't do it on purpose..."
"Not on purpose?" Jarvis frowned. "She knocked over Miss Aurora's meal, ignored the thanks of the goddess of fate, and even pushed the hero."
The hero slammed the table and challenged, "I, the protagonist, haven't even pursued the matter yet, why are you holding on to it?"
Jarvis: "If you think it doesn't matter if you have one more foot that's swollen like a pig's trotter, then I can really not pursue it. And by the way, disinfect the gauze and return it to me."
The hero, who had sprained his left foot and was unable to move, was speechless. Seeing that the tension was growing, Janus hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
"Um... please don't be angry with Jarvis, she just... just...
"I know." Yingxiong curled his lips, "...caring about me."
Jarvis did not refute, and the hero continued: "So I'm not angry, I just don't like her saying that. After all, we have lived together for so long..."
Yes, we have been good neighbors and sisters for so long, how come such a big change happened in just one day?
The ship girls who were having a small meeting fell silent, not knowing what to say.
Until the goddess of fate murmured in disappointment: "...If only Her Majesty the Queen were here..."
The brief soliloquy seemed to open up other people's memories.
The petite battleship who faces everyone with a haughty attitude all day long seems to be able to solve everyone's problems in her own unique way.
It's true that she was difficult to serve before, and I can't pretend that I miss her now.
Janus: "...Her Majesty said that she wanted to go see the outside world, and when she comes back, she will take us to build another castle..."
Vampire: "Maybe she hasn't found the right place yet? Or... got lost? If it's her... it's not impossible."
Hero: "Hehe~ Don't be so sullen. When my leg is healed, I can go out and look for her, right? Don't worry, I'm the protagonist!"
Jarvis: "If you don't want to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair, stop dancing around. There aren't that many drugs at home for you to squander."
Yingxiong: "Hey, can you hope for something good? Besides, my case is not serious. Don't always give Miss Yuanchou a bad face. She didn't mean it."
Aurora: "She reminded me to fix the fence this morning. When I got there, I found that the fence was damaged by yesterday's wind and the nails were exposed. Fortunately, you didn't go to the flower field this morning..."
The hero and the vampire, whose attention was attracted by the fallen goddess of fate, were all stunned and breathed a sigh of relief. If they really stepped on her, the thin soles of their shoes would not be able to block the sharp spikes.
"Maybe……"
Albion looked at everyone and said, "Is Senior Yuanchou also worried about Her Majesty's affairs like everyone else...?"
"Her Majesty said that she had found a new partner for us, but she didn't bring him back in the end, and she left here the next day. I wonder if Her Majesty..."
"knocking"
Everyone in the room fell silent at once, and all looked towards the door that was knocked. The nun's voice came from outside and floated in through the door.
"It's late, everyone. Go to bed early. When you go back, try to take the road with lights. Don't go anywhere else. Be careful not to fall, okay?"
"........."
"Good night then."
The regular footsteps gradually faded away, and the ship girls in the room all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Yingxiong crossed his arms and looked a little smug. "Well, I was saying, you guys are overthinking it, right? She definitely didn't do it on purpose."
