Chapter 123: The Waning Moon

In the forest, through the silence, the sun shines through the shade of the withered yellow leaves, like stars twinkling in the sky, a little dazzling, but very crystal beautiful, through the elusive quiet, light and shadow, the looming left and right melodiously dangling.

My Princess:

The maple tree, oh, sounds beautiful, but even if you describe it in such beautiful words, I can hardly imagine what it looks like, and perhaps it is to blame you, dear, for I can no longer find anything better in this world than you.

I think I can't wait to try the delicious fruit, but in fact, I'm more looking forward to whether I can eat the food you make yourself, it must be even more delicious, and will there be this opportunity during the coming-of-age ceremony?

The bleak north wind is howling more and more, so that I have to admit that the temperature has dropped a little bit recently, but please don't worry about me, my dear, the heavy armor also competently shows its role at this time.

But my dear princess, if you are the one who should add some clothes, please don't let yourself be hurt, for the cold snap is much more painful.

Your Lรณpez

Gently tucking the letter away in a drawer, Aya stretched, then looked up at the clock where the hour and minute hands coincided with nine o'clock, and then stood up from her chair.

Reaching out to pick up the leftover fruit, she raised her feet and prepared to go out, but as soon as she reached the door, she seemed to remember something, and quickly turned back.

"I think it's right here. Whispering, Aya gently opened the closet beside the wooden bed, and then plunged into it and began to rummage.

"Well, it seems a little early. Pouting to herself, Aya opened the door and walked out with her winter coat in her arms.

"Good morning, Ai, Aya?Oh, dear, it's only autumn, why are you wearing winter clothes?" The sudden voice in her ear made Aya, who was bowing her head forward, quickly raise her head.

"I just suddenly feel a little chilly this fall, Muriel. To hide the redness on her face, Aya smiled softly.

"Is there one?" Confusion made Muriel turn to look at her clothes, and at the same time, a fresh breeze slowly blew, which made her shrink back: "Maybe there are some." โ€

"Oh, by the way, dear, why did you suddenly remember to learn to knit. Asking, Muriel quickly jumped down from the thick branches above, "Didn't you always hate that, but it's true, it's troublesome, and often misaligned." โ€

"Well, I just wanted to try it out of the blue. Muriel's inquiry flushed her freshly faded face again, "Wait, why did you get up so early today?"

"Alas, Davide went hunting coyotes a few days ago and was bitten off his leg, so I was going to take care of him. "Obviously, Aya's shift in conversation has been quite successful.

"Then why don't you hurry up, be careful that you can only be alone during the coming-of-age ceremony. With that, Aya smiled again.

This time, it was Muriel's face that turned red: "I haven't decided yet, who said that I must be with him." โ€

"Alright, alright, I know, I know, but you have to hurry over now, take this opportunity to capture his heart. As she urged, Aya nudged Muriel.

"But, my dear, the rite of passage is coming soon, have you already found a partner?" but Muriel didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, but turned back to ask Aya again.

This made Aya sigh softly: "The coming-of-age ceremony doesn't have to be completed with a partner. โ€

"Ah, what a blessing to be able to have a coming-of-age ceremony with your partner. As she spoke, Muryl gently closed her hand, looking unusually yearning: "Seriously, did you decide whether there was Aya or not?"

"Alright, alright, I'm going to be late. Smiling, Aya raised her hand and quickly hugged Muriel forward: "Okay, come on." โ€

"Well, goodbye then, dear. With such a sentence, Muriel jumped away.

Looking at the back of Muriel's rapid departure, Aya breathed a sigh of relief before turning to leave.

The birds on the branches of the trees chirped noisily, and the breeze from nowhere, carrying the withered yellow leaves, went lonely into the distance.

"Granny Majonrika, are you there, I'm Aya. Whispering inquiring, Aya raised her arm and knocked lightly on the door.

After a while, the closed wooden door slowly opened from the inside: "Of course, my little Aya, didn't we already make an agreement yesterday?"

Marjon Rika had a kind smile on her face, "Is it so cold today, Aya?"

"No, I just feel like it's going to be a lot colder this fall. In response, Aya followed Majon Rika into the cabin.

The warmth inside the room made Aya gently drag her coat off.

"Oh, seriously, I was really taken off the hook when you asked me yesterday, little Aya. Winking at Aya, Majon Rika picked up the teapot and poured Aya a cup of tea: "Remember, when you were a child, Iluel thought you were too noisy and sent you to me, and I wanted to teach you at that time, but you always cried and refused to learn." โ€

"I was young, and I didn't really have much talent for it. "Things happened when I was a child and I was a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Maqiong Rika smiled: "I always feel that it happened yesterday, and in a blink of an eye, you are almost a hundred years old, what, is it for your beloved?"

"No, it's not. The abrupt turn of words made Aya almost throw her teacup to the ground.

"That's a good thing, my little Aya. Sitting back in her chair again, Majon Rika began to slowly peel the oranges: "You must know that the person you love also loves you deeply, which is quite a lucky thing. โ€

"I can feel that since you returned from the Demon Realm, light has appeared in your eyes again. After handing the peeled orange to Aya, Majon Rika asked again, "Is he a human?"

After listening, Aya blinked quickly, and only after exhaling deeply did she muster up her courage: "Hmm." โ€

"A lot of times, it's better to regret than to just recall. With a kind smile again, Majon Rika raised her hand and picked up the ball of thread on the side, and the wooden woolen yarn stick: "I haven't asked you what you want to knit?"
