"It's another day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Lance stood in front of the window, looking out at the scenery in the distance.

In the twilight, it seems that everything is dyed with the color of the sunset, and the figures of those who are still working at this time are also reflected, clearly and in the heart.

The days spent in this mountain town are hard to forget.

Now, after that disaster, some time has passed since the rebuilding of the mountain town, and in a few moments, we can see the mountain town return to its normal days.

Lance counted each day he was here, and for the first time felt time pass so quickly.

The day before yesterday, he and Danica returned to the mountain town and walked around the mountain town.

When it was time for dinner, Dawn came over and told them one thing, the relocation of the temporary residence. In order to supervise and observe the process of reconstruction, and also to make things easier, he moved to a small house closer to the new city owner who took the lead in reconstruction.

Yesterday, Lance and the others moved all day, and the quilts and pillows for sleeping were fine, but the real problem was that the pile of books and materials in Danica's study had to be sorted before they were moved, so it took extra time, and it turned out that they were all moved at 9 p.m.

Today, Lance can breathe a sigh of relief and take a day off as a small bonus for being busy all the time.

At this moment, there was an orderly knock on the door of the room.

Lance walked over and was about to open the door, but when he opened the door, he saw that it was Danica, and a look of surprise passed over his face.

"It's you. ”

"What does that mean? Can't I be here?"

Lance's words caused the other party to be dissatisfied, and then Danica, a red-haired girl who was only fifteen years old, walked in, and was the owner of the city. When I first met her, I have to sigh at the changeability of fate even now.

Lance shrugged his shoulders to indicate that he didn't mean that.

"I just think it's rare, so let you come in person. ”

"Ahem!"

Danica glared at Lance, coughed heavily, looked away, and muttered in the middle of her speech.

"Uh-huh, although I'm usually very busy, well, even if it's one person at a time, let's flat......

"I didn't hear what you said later, what person?"

"Leave that alone!" Danica turned her face and glared at him again.

"Okay, is there something urgent about you coming to me?"

"It's not because I'm in a hurry...... Anyway, what should I say......"

Lance cast a puzzled look at her, hesitated, and asked in a worried tone, "You've been weird since just now, your voice has become quiet, Danica, you won't be overbusy and sick again, will you?"

"How did you get into that kind of thing?!"

Danica stared at Lance angrily, "You're weird compared to me!"

"On the way back from the meeting, you didn't speak, at first I thought you were uncomfortable, and after returning here, you gave me the feeling of a lifeless guy, as if you were ignoring! If it was usual, who would care about you, and besides! I was just asked, pleased! I was asked by Dawn and Vance and Paz and the three of them! Please come and see you! First of all, I don't have any special thoughts about you!"

Danica was like a rope that was ignited, quickly burning from beginning to end, and she was still very emotional.

Lance laughed dryly and bowed his head slightly, "I'm sorry for worrying you." ”

"I didn't worry about you anymore!"

"Anyway, if you have anything to say, just tell me, as the master of Ridingpa, although I can't guarantee it completely, I can give you a little bit of it...... Meaningful suggestions and the like...... You can talk to me!"

"Thanks, but I don't have anything to do, really. ”

"I don't believe it!" Danica stared at Lance with her hands on her hips, as if looking for evidence in his face to conceal it.

"I'm sorry to worry you. Lance shook his head and smiled, then said, "I'm just suddenly a little homesick." ”

"Ah, that's ......"

Danica nodded, looking at Lance, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say.

I don't know why, even she herself is silent.

“……”

Lance caught a glimpse of Danica's face, tilted his head slightly, and sneezed a few times.

He touched his nose and smiled, "It seems that I have a cold, my nose is a little stuffy, I should have slept by the window of the carriage before I came back the day before yesterday and got cold, I suddenly want to sleep for a while to recover, okay?"

Lance turned his head away from Danica.

"Okay, you can rest for a while. ”

Danica walked out of the room, and the door closed immediately.

She leaned her back against the door, stuck there, and did not leave immediately.

“……”

"What an unpleasant conversation. ”

Danica muttered quietly, then fell silent again.

“……”

She silently stopped talking, listening intently to the room inside the door.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement inside.

Then, she took a step, two steps at a time, walked a few meters, and the figure stopped.

Danica turned and stared at the door.

"Idiot, you can't even find an excuse to be so unseemly!"

She scolded in a low voice, and after scolding, she turned her head and really walked away, and she didn't know if she was angry or bored, her heart was a mess, and she felt very unhappy.

Danica's muttering outside the door, Lance didn't hear, because at this time he was paying his full attention to the cabinet next to the bed.

Lance's eyes were fixed on the drawer under the cabinet, standing still, as if thinking about something.

Time passed minute by minute, and under the expressionless face, there was a struggle going on in his heart.

Whatever the outcome, he found the answer.

After nearly half an hour, he finally came to a conclusion in his heart.

Open the drawer and take out a piece of white paper that is placed in the innermost part.

The night before, because he had slept too much in the carriage, he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and Lance, who had no sleepiness at all, had to get up and go outside to blow the wind.

At that time, Lance, who had come to the street, witnessed the complete opposite of the view of the small mountain town during the day, everything was quiet, as if blending into the background of the night sky.

The surroundings were really quiet, and Lance, who was wandering around the streets, even felt an unknown fear.

Just like everyone disappeared, just like at that time, the brother who hated him was always rejecting him, and in order to see his own misfortune, he drove all the servants of the house outside, making the whole house empty and completely devoid of people.

That incident was a little nightmare in his heart as a young man.

Later, when the father and mother who had returned from afar learned of it through the mouth of one of the servants, they taught the man a lesson and kept him in confinement for a week.

Many years later, Lance was about to forget what happened in his childhood, but now he remembered it and tapped at his heart.

Even though he knew that he was hated by that guy, he never thought that he would hate himself to such an extent.

Lance wanted to shake off the bad things and regain his mood, and after turning and walking back for a while, a crisp bird's cry came from behind, as if in the direction he was.

Then Lance saw it clearly, an owl bathed in the moonlight that flew towards him.

The moment Lance saw it, he was strongly stunned, and he was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the owl was perched on his shoulder.

When he stretched out his hand, his body was trembling, but despite this, he reached out and took the thing that was tied to the owl's feet.

He turned his head slightly, as if he wanted to look, but he didn't seem to want to look, and when his gaze touched the golden ribbon tied at the owl's left foot, which fluttered in the wind and was printed with a familiar triangular pattern, he could no longer deceive himself.

That triangle is the family emblem.

“…… It's finally here......"

He thought subconsciously, completely unaware that the words were being spoken.

What I got from that owl was the white paper that was hidden in a drawer today.

It's been two days, and Lance has finished thinking about the night before, and in those two days, he has not touched it since he put it in, and he has not looked at it.

He was afraid, afraid of what was written on that piece of paper.

I can't bear to watch it, and in the past two days, there has been a battle going on in my heart.

“……”

"I can't go on like this. ”

"You can't let everyone worry. ”

“……”

"This cowardly personality has never changed. Lance laughed self-deprecatingly, even though he could imagine what was written on the piece of paper.

“……”

"Haha...... I ......"

Lance laughed, his smile not smiling at all, on the contrary, it was very ugly.

If there is a mirror in front of him now, you can see him with a sad smile that wants to cry.

Slowly, slowly, the hand reached for the drawer and touched the paper.

He picked up the piece of paper, spread it out, and put it on both hands.

The content of the paper was a word he knew very well, even if it was only a short line.

"Is that really the case? ”

After one look, Lance tore the paper little by little, and the pieces of the paper were scattered on the ground.

His heart had to make choices, even though he was terrified that those choices could become reality if they were spoken.

"I'm so sorry. ”

"Either one, if I could, I really didn't want to do it. ”

"My character is too weak. ”

"It would be nice to have the best of both worlds. ”

"No fantasy can become a reality. ”

“……”

Lance sighed and turned his head sideways.

"Finally, it's all come to this. ”

The next day, Paz found Danica.

"Danica, the recent progress has been good, I haven't forgotten what I told you last time, have you?"

"I'm busy...... Danica gave Paz a blank look, "I'll get out if it's okay." ”

"Isn't there going to be a meeting in a minute? You won't really forget, will you? I'm going to occupy a house when the new building is built. ”

"Even if you're my friend, I won't give you this discount!"

"You're so stingy, we're the best buddies to grow up with. Paz looked helpless, "Isn't the meeting going to be held later to decide on the first list of move-ins? Also, it's too luxurious to build a five-story mansion in the new city lord's mansion!"

"Don't you know that the first floor of the New City Lord's Mansion is a collective warehouse, the second floor is a shop, the third floor is a place to store books, and the fourth and fifth floors are ......"

Before Danica could speak, she was interrupted by an impatient Paz.

"Okay, okay, I know this, don't say it again. ”

"Don't worry, if you're lucky, I'll leave one for you as long as there's leftover. Danica didn't want to talk to him any further, and there was still a lot of work to be done.

"That's it!" Paz smiled at Danica's assurance, half of the house he lived in had collapsed after the dragon attack, and the days he had been in the tent were really reaching their limit.

How Perth wanted to live in a normal house, looking left and right, he said, "Speaking of which, it's almost half past nine, why hasn't Lance come yet?"

"Lance? He said he had a cold yesterday and was probably still resting, right?"

(This week is very difficult, Saturday's ** festival actually has to work overtime or something, the Spring Festival is only five days, and you have to go to work on the fifth day of the new year, which is probably the shortest New Year's holiday...... So please don't expect too much from the update, the night child who says this kind of thing will definitely be patted away by the few readers ==)
