The magic lamp on the porch on the second floor lights up, indicating that the protagonist is about to appear, and the party is about to officially begin.

After a while, the door on the second floor opened, and Nina took a middle-aged woman's hand and walked out, and the middle-aged man with a serious face next to her should be Nina's father.

Nina was wearing a pink dress, perhaps because of her age, this dress looked extremely refined, and the fine folds kept swaying with Nina's movements.

The woman next to her should be Nina's mother, to be honest, if it weren't for her preconceived ideas, Luo Xiaotian would definitely think that this was Nina's sister. Well-maintained skin and smooth hair, glowing faintly under the magic lamp, Nina's mother also wore a dress, but in a very dazzling red.

So, no matter how you look at Nina's mother, it looks like an enlarged version of Nina.

Contrast the warm tones on this side and much more serious on the other. Nina's father was dressed in a black dress, and his hair was neatly combed back, although it also emitted fluorescence under the magic lamp, it was much colder and harder, coupled with his expressionless face, Luo Xiaotian felt that he definitely wouldn't want to face Nina's father alone,

Nina's father took Nina's hand and simply blessed Nina to be a year older and then announced the start of the party.

After that, Nina's father returned to the room on the second floor, leaving Nina and her mother to receive the guests of the party.

"That looks delicious!"

The little mermaid princess tugged at a strand of Luo Xiaotian's hanging hair and pointed to the food not far away.

"Uh... Are you sure you want to eat that?"

From a distance, you can see that the yellow and brown ingredients are mottled together. If Luo Xiaotian is not mistaken, this dish is a combination of plant-based stew that looks similar to pineapple.

If this plant, which looks similar to pineapple, tastes the same as pineapple, then this dish is inexplicably familiar.

Looking at Nina and her mother who were surrounded by guests in the distance, Luo Xiaotian planned to give the prepared gifts later, and most of the guests handed over the gifts to the housekeeper when they entered the door, but Luo Xiaotian felt that only by giving it away in person could he show his sincerity.

Let's hope it doesn't stand out too much.

In addition, Luo Xiaotian still didn't find Marx, but found a few unfamiliar girls in the class, who were chattering around Nina.

"Would you like meat or pineapple?"

"What is a pineapple? Mermaids are vegetarians!"

"Well..."

Luo Xiaotian forked up a piece of "pineapple" and handed it to Helen, who didn't care about the soup on it, and grabbed it with both hands and took a bite.

"Delicious!~~"

She groaned in satisfaction, and then like a squirrel, she "clicked and ate" and nibbled on the "pineapple" by herself.

Really? Luo Xiaotian, who was skeptical, picked up a piece of brown meat and put it in his mouth.

It's a pity that it's sweet...

And it's really pineapple-flavored...

After inspecting the food in the hall on the first floor, he found that in addition to these strange foods, there were also normal foods such as steak, bread, and broth.

You must know that you will not even be able to eat fish in the future.

When most of the people were communicating, Luo Xiaotian ate in the hall, and also took Helen to eat in the hall.

Seeing that there was no one around Nina, Luo Xiaotian took out the gift and prepared to give the gift to Nina before eating.

Helen used a zero-ring cleaning technique, and Luo Xiaotian and Helen, who were sticky and oily because of eating, immediately became refreshing and clean again.

Magic is so handy!

"Happy birthday, Nina!"

I wanted to drag Marx along, but unfortunately I couldn't find Marx anyway.

"Nina, who is this? Can you introduce me?"

"Ahh Well, this is my classmate Ronald Darwin. ”

"Darwin?... A commoner?!Nina, I've told you so many times, don't you have anything to do with a commoner! My father and I have spent so much time and energy teaching you to be a lady, I don't want you to be tainted with the vulgarity and bad habits of a commoner! I don't remember sending out such an invitation, it seems that Ian is not suitable for the position of manager!"

"I'm sorry Mom, but I asked Ian to prepare this invitation..."

"So, Mr. Ronald, my daughter doesn't need your gift, can you leave here with her?

"Mom, this is my friend, you can't do this!"

Nina is like a fried kitten, as if she has changed from her previous cowardice in front of her mother. The sound caught the attention of the others in the hall on the first floor, but they didn't rush around, which was a very rude act.

"Oh, I don't remember teaching you to talk to your mother like that!

"Mother, if you kick Ronald out now, it will be a real faux pas, a faux pas in front of so many people!

Rhona's mother stared at Rhona for a moment, never looking at Ronald the rest of the day. The mermaid princess Helen, who hung on Luo Xiaotian's neckline, was dissatisfiedly twisting his clothes with her hands.

"Hmph, so be it, after the party is over, I think your father and I need to have a good talk with you. ”

With that, Rhona's mother turned around and went back to her room on the second floor.

Luo Xiaotian stood next to him, and he seemed to have no sense of existence as the protagonist. In the face of Rhona's mother's aggressiveness, he really has no real feeling, as if he is playing a role-playing game, observing the reactions of the characters throughout the game from the perspective of God.

Maybe it's also because of the lack of a sense of substitution for things like nobles and commoners, at least in the memory of the previous life or this life, Luo Xiaotian rarely deals with nobles. Well, there are no nobles at all in the small village where Ronald is located.

Looking at Nina's apologetic expression, Luo Xiaotian shrugged his shoulders absently and handed over the prepared gift.

"Thanks, can I take it apart?"

"Of course!"

With a gesture of please, Nina unwrapped the package that Luo Xiaotian had covered in imitation of another world.

"What is this?"

A square metal box appeared in Nina's hand, and on it were the patterns carved by Luo Xiaotian and Matthew, which gave a plain iron box a little artistic sense.

"Open it and take a look!"

As she spoke, Nina opened the square metal box.

Immediately, a burst of melodious music wafted out from the open box, it was the sky city that Luo Xiaotian was very familiar with, and the simple eight notes were strung together to form a quiet and agile movement, and the notes drifted around, constantly echoing in the hall.

The people in the hall slowly stopped talking together, and the center of the hall was once again the center of attention.

"What's that?"

"I don't know, but you've seen magic dramas, right? I remember that when you show something in a magic drama, you can make a sound, and it's a magic prop, right?"

"I remember that each of the magic items was very expensive, didn't he just say that he was a civilian? How could he send magic items? And, you see, such a beautiful piece of music engraved in such a small magic circle is probably much more expensive than ordinary magic items. ”

“......”

This kind of discussion kept fermenting among different people, but it did not reach Nina and Luo Xiaotian who were standing in the center of the venue.

Nina was watching in amazement at the two little figures dancing in circles in the box, dancing over and over again along a specific dance step.

"It's amazing! I've never seen anything like it! What is it? Magic props?"

"It's not a magic prop, and although it's partly used, it's not the most important thing. This is called a music box, and as soon as it is opened, it will release music, but unfortunately it is a little rough. ”

"It's not rough at all, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!

Nina carefully closed the music box and grasped it in her hand, not putting it with other gifts.

"I'm really sorry today, my mother was originally prejudiced against civilians, and I don't know why the prejudice has become more and more serious over the years. ”

"Will you be scolded badly after the party is over?"

"It's okay, it's my birthday after all. And in fact, my dad is fine, he doesn't have a problem with what kind of friends I make, he looks very serious, but he is actually quite easy to talk. Ah, I'm going to go up and talk to my father, and put the music box away by the way, and it's still early before it's over, so can you walk around again? I'll come down with you later. ”

"Okay. ”

Bidding farewell to Nina, Luo Xiaotian continued to look for food under the instructions of the mermaid princess Helen.

"Hahaha! Eat that squid! You've got it today!"

It seems that the merfolk and the squid are feuding.

"Stop that guy, he's going to eat fish!"

Although the fish in the lakes, rivers and sea are extremely strong, and some of them are even comparable to monsters, they are actually delicious, and the fish dishes at the party account for a large part of the dishes.

Of course, it was impossible for Luo Xiaotian to stop others from eating fish, otherwise the maids and housekeepers who were eyeing him next to him might really kick themselves out.

"That squid looks as hateful as that old woman, and I'm a nobleman!

Helen seems to have a lot of complaints about Nina's mother, although Luo Xiaotian doesn't care, but it feels really good to be maintained like this.

Although he and Helen had only known each other for a day, it was strange that one man and one mermaid were very compatible.

"Hello sir, introduce myself, I am Marcus Grant of the Grant family. ”

Luo Xiaotian, who was looking for delicious food everywhere, was stopped by a gorgeously dressed young man, and his dazzling blonde hair almost shook Luo Xiaotian's dog... No, eyes.

"What's the matter with you? First of all, I'm neither an apprentice nor a magician. ”

"Hehe, of course I know that. I'm here because I'm interested in your music box, I wonder if we can go there and talk?"
