Page 29 Happy New Year, World. 】
Valoran's calendar year is very close to the Gregorian calendar of Chen Senran's previous world, and there is also a New Year, a festival that Chen Senran feels very cordial about.
From the ten days after the green-skinned alien left to the day before the New Year, the snow began to fall one after another, and it never stopped. As for the monster that threatened to come back and eat Chen Senran in return, no one knew whether it had survived the boundless wind and snow. Perhaps, that creature has hunted a reindeer somewhere warm, drinking blood, and its body is rapidly evolving. Or maybe that guy has been made into a specimen by some perverted scientist.
In short, Chen Senran no longer cares about its life or death.
Because today is the last day of the old year, and in a few more magic spells, the new year will be ushered in, counting, Chen Senran has been in this world for almost half a year, this is the first new year of his new life. So he didn't want to think about it anymore.
It was already a little dark, the snow was still falling, Chen Senran sat in the corridor next to the courtyard with a glass of red wine, enjoying this rare quiet time a little drunk.
The white roses in the courtyard had been emptied, and the long snowfall had filled the entire courtyard, almost spreading into the corridors.
Little Anne was wearing a fluffy dress and was playing in the snow despite the wind and snow, Chen Senran raised her head and glanced at it, and found that the little girl was clumsily building a snowman.
The little girl was obviously very serious, she didn't feel the cold around her at all, and her little face was red from the cold.
seemed to be aware of Chen Senran's gaze, and Xiao Lori suddenly became excited, "Come and see if the big bad guy is big and bad, I'm doing well." ”
Chen Senran smiled helplessly, put down the wine glass and walked to Little Annie's side, carefully observing the huge snowman.
Judging from the appearance, this seems to be the appearance of a bear, well, a bit like Tibos, Chen Senran glanced at the little girl whose little hands were also red, and pulled up her little hand a little distressed, ready to pinch her hand for her.
I just wanted to praise her, she is very artistic. Chen Senran heard a dull sneeze, and saw that the snowman was shaken, and he looked at the snowman very suspiciously, thinking that there were some alien creatures coming?
Immediately he heard a dull sneeze again, and this time the snowman shook even more, directly shattering the face of the snowman bear, and then Chen Senran saw Tibos's innocent and pitiful bear face.
"You ......" The corners of Chen Senran's mouth twitched, he was still thinking about how it was so lifelike, but he didn't expect that the genuine product was buried inside.
The little girl saw that the leak was sinking, her whole face became very stinky, and she squinted at the poor fat bear fiercely, "You are not allowed to move, and you are not allowed to eat tonight." ”
Tibos trembled, and did not know whether he was frightened by the murderous eyes of the little girl, or by the punishment of not being allowed to eat, and he let out an unspeakable roar, looking pitiful, like a poor poor peasant who was rented by the landlord on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Chen Senran looked at this interesting master and servant, and couldn't help but kiss the little girl's red face, "What a stupid girl." ”
Little Lori's already red face became more and more red, like a small apple, she threw herself into Chen Senran's arms, and said like a mosquito: "I hate ......"
Chen Senran picked her up and looked up at the sky that had become dark, the snow was falling, and life was so beautiful.
————————
After a sumptuous New Year's dinner, little Anne was coaxed to sleep early by the Shadow Maiden who was finally willing to take off her cloak for the time being, with a warm smile. And Chen Senran was left behind by Hasta.
In the large, simple dining room, the tablecloth has been replaced with a warm cream yellow, the magic lamp has been replaced with a dim yellow color, and a pot of warm barley tea is placed on one side with pale white steam. Everything looks warm and soothing on this snowy night of the New Year.
So Hasta didn't talk about some big scenes, just some anecdotes, some interesting stories from the past, and some little things about little Anne's growth.
Chen Senran chatted cooperatively, in fact, it was not entirely out of an attitude to deal with and please Lu, in fact, for a killer who had no home, no family, only a sword since he was a child, at this moment he really had a feeling of home, and these chats and warmth made him get a rare peace and happiness in the past twenty years.
Talking to an old fox about the warmth of having a home on a treacherous continent? Chen Senran found this fact absurd and extremely interesting.
Time passed slowly, and a pot of warm tea had bottomed out. Chen Senran stood up and said goodbye to Hasta, his voice was soft, no longer hiding the usual sharpness and sharpness, just a simple farewell, simply like a junior who left respectfully after visiting his elders.
"Hey, young man." Hasta called out to Chen Senran, who was about to bring him to the door.
Chen Senran raised his head and vaguely guessed what the middle-aged man was going to say.
"Good to Anne."
Chen Senran was not surprised, he looked at the man who looked extremely gentle in the dim light and nodded, "Okay." ”
It's just a word, but it's rarely firm and decisive.
The door closes. Chen Senran and Hasta both laughed silently.
The snow fell in the middle of the night, past the last moment of the old year, and fell on the land of the new year.
Chen Senran didn't sleep, and turned on the bedside magic lamp that was arranged in dim yellow because of the arrival of the New Year, and looked at a copy of "General History of Valoran".
It was the book he had read on his first day here, the pages were already a little wrinkled, and he had been flipping through them for seven days and nights.
In fact, Chen Senran is a very nostalgic person. Just like the dagger he once had, even if it was cracked twice, and the hand cloth on the handle was tattered, he still stayed by his side. Because that was the first time he went on a mission, he was alone, and the only thing he could hold to protect himself was in his hands.
Thinking like this, Chen Senran suddenly felt a little sad, and laughed self-deprecatingly at himself when he was really pretending.
"Squeak~" The door behind it opened.
"That, Xiao Sensen, haven't you slept yet?" Anne's timid voice came.
The same room, the same oak bookshelves, the same General History of Valoran, the same timid cries. Everything seems to be back to the beginning.
Chen Senran smiled and said, "I'm already asleep." ”
Little Anne naturally heard Chen Senran's sloppiness, snorted delicately, completely ignored Chen Senran's narrow smile, and jumped directly on Chen Senran's bed, only revealing a little head with a pink nightcap staring at Chen Senran outside, looking very cute and cute.
"Tell me a story~"
Chen Senran shook his head, picked up a bottle of red wine and walked to the window.
Little Anne was suddenly a little unhappy, and wanted to speak but was stopped by Chen Senran.
I saw Chen Senran slowly pushing open the window, and the snow outside the window was thick.
Chen Senran removed the finger that was placed on his mouth and pointed to his ear, "Listen, good story." ”
Little Anne closed her eyes in disbelief and listened out the window.
The world is quiet, only the snowflakes fall on the roof, on the ground, and there is a sound.
Chen Senran raised his glass in the face of the wind and snow, and saluted the entire dark and quiet world.
"Happy New Year, a beautiful new world."
——————————
The second more. Wrote for a long time.
It's been a long time since I've written so slowly, so hard. Maybe it's been a long time since I've written something warm.
But it's very comfortable and warm to write.
I'll admit it's a YY novel, but I'd also like to write something warm once in a while.
I hope you enjoy it too.
I wanted to try the third update. However, since I was about to enter the second volume, I had to sort out my thoughts, so I gave up.
Let's look forward to the second volume.
