The water of the stream is cool and soaks the heart and spleen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

You can feel the cells all over your body being activated, and you can make a subtle sound.

A steady stream of energy travels from the water to the body, giving you a feeling of being filled with water.

Gradually, the body that had been burned to the point of falling apart in the Burning Spell came back to life.

Liu Xiao stretched and yawned.

You can also hear Ellie's calm breathing.

The stream didn't seem to wake up the little one, and she fell asleep.

I can't laugh at her, though.

It's not just me who suffers from the burning spell, but Ellie.

She shared half of my pain.

I wish the water from the stream here would help her heal her wounds.

After all...... I can't do anything but pull back.

I don't seem to feel this feeling of powerlessness very much lately.

So when it hit again, I felt very uncomfortable.

The only thing that comforts me is not that I've been trying to do it all the time.

Rather, there is Liu Xiao, who is willing to accompany me to the Aurora World, and Ellie, who is willing to share the burning spell on me.

The night sky is brightened by the dark forest that surrounds it, and looking at it evokes something called hope.

Hope...... I won't let this little guy help me with my pain again.

"But then again, it's so dark in this place."

I broke the silence and sighed softly.

"That's because there is no moon in the Aurora World"

Liu Xiao's answer surprised me.

"No moon?"

"There are no stars either"

"That'...... Is it fireflies in the sky, or is it magic?"

"That's the reflection of the stars of our world"

It's no wonder that the Translation Mantra calls their world the world of reflections.

It's a bleak feeling.

I also understand a little bit why Elle wants to venture into our world......

"Brother, I'll take Elle up first"

"Hmm"

It's been a long time since it's been like this...... A lonely space, a world of one.

Come to think of it, since Liu Xiao came, I am no longer lonely.

Only during the time when Liu Xiao left did I have time to think about how to protect the guys around me.

After walking for a while, the night gradually deepened, and I could feel the air around me like the stream, gradually getting colder.

Before I get frozen, I'd better hurry back.

Upon entering the room, Mr. Cedenas was still lying on his desk, sorting out the contents of the day's conversation.

I stood next to him and took a sneaky look.

Several large books and thick notepads were spread out on the table.

Some of the books are very scribbled, and some are unusually neat, and they are also classified by drawing lines.

Some of them were painted with shapes that Liu Xiao had described, and some other sketches.

It's like a sketch, it's unusually realistic, and the degree of restoration is very high.

He is a scholar, and his skills and attitude are very different from the teachers I have met.

It was a long time before he noticed that I was standing behind him.

The gentleman gave me a look and motioned for me to go upstairs.

"Aren't you resting?"

He looked back at the pile of books and books on the table, and shook his head casually.

It seems that for him, he seems to have found something more enjoyable than resting.

Coming up the stairs, the upstairs room looked a bit messy.

It's like a warehouse.

Or rather, a storage room.

It was very dark, and there were things scattered everywhere, and you had to be very careful when you walked, for fear of making a noise.

There are two simple beds in the center, which looks like an ordinary small inn, and it doesn't feel like home at all.

One wonders if Mr. Cedenas really lived here regularly.

Or maybe he usually lives more in the laboratory.

Between the beds, there was a small window, and a little starlight shone in through the window, illuminating the sleeping Liu Xiao.

The girl leaned sideways, facing the wall on the other side, with her back to me, her long hair spread out and hanging from the edge of the bed.

Hey, Ellie.

I approached the edge of the bed, the girl's white T-shirt gently rising and falling with her breathing.

Ai Li lay comfortably in Liu Xiao's arms, her long blue hair scattered over her body, like a small blanket.

A look of comfort.

Seeing her like this really made my heart feel a lot easier.

Gently climbed into my bed and lay down cautiously, not making the slightest sound.

After bathing in the stream, I could feel that all the wounds on my body had been treated.

It was very easy to lie down, unlike when I was in the human world before, when I lay down after every big war, I felt like my body was about to fall apart.

The slight breathing of the two of them, like the chirping of cicadas outside the window in summer, urged people to sleep......

"Imps"

I snapped my eyes open, and Ellie sat on top of me with her hair scattered.

With both hands on my chest, he leaned his face closer to me.

Long blue hair slid down and landed on either side of my shoulders.

"Morning ...... It's morning?"

I'm still sleepy.

It's been a tiring job to adjust to jet lag for some time.

When Ellie saw that I was awake, she jumped onto Liu Xiao's bed with a swish.

Liu Xiao was combing his hair, and because he didn't have a comb, he was using his hands.

She tilted her head, letting her hair hang to the side, and then carefully used her hands to divide the twisted hair into bunches.

It's like playing a harp.

Forehead......

I always feel ...... It looks like a strange feeling.

Probably the boy is very unfamiliar with this kind of scene.

The little guy hid behind Liu Xiao's back and secretly looked at me from between the ends of Liu Xiao's hair.

"Ellie, what's wrong with you?"

The little guy hid behind Liu Xiao's back.

Ah......h What's the situation?

"You see?"

She hid behind Liu Xiao and asked in a timid voice.

"Huh, what do I see?"

"I ...... Drunk look......"

Nonsense, how could it not be ......

Wait, it doesn't seem like you can say that bluntly.

It's better for me to play dumb and pretend I don't know.

"No, no, I didn't see it, what did you say, are you drunk?"

I shook my head.

Whew――

The little one let out a soft exhalation as if relieved.

Ha, little fellow, was you so drunk yesterday that you forgot what happened?

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps on the stairs.

"Everyone"

Sednas hadn't slept all night, his eyes were slightly red, but he looked very refreshed.

"News from the White Wooden Tower, a ship from Ergonda has stopped in the harbor, I'm afraid it's here to pick you up"

"Hmm"

I looked at Liu Xiao and Ellie.

"Let's go"

"That's right......"

As if remembering something again, Mr. Cedenas hurried downstairs.

By the time Liu Xiao and Ai Li came downstairs, Mr. was already holding a glass bottle and waiting at the door.

"This is my gift to you"

"This ......"

I haven't uttered a word yet.

"Wow clam!"

Ellie was as excited as if she had seen a baby.

But realizing that there was still me next to me, he suddenly pretended to be very indifferent and coughed twice.

It seems that I can't be polite, this gift must be accepted, otherwise Ellie doesn't know how to bully me.

"Thank you, Lord Sednath"

I took this glass bottle, which is very similar to a wine bottle.

Ellie squinted her eyes and kept sneaking a glance at me out of the corner of her eye.

Belch......

"It's so heavy, uh, Ellie, why don't you help me get this?"

Without my invitation, Ellie grabbed me by the hem of my shirt and slid up my shoulder.

Then he stretched out his two hands and took the bottle in my hand and hugged it tightly in his arms.

"I reluctantly accepted it"

The corners of the little guy's mouth curled up, as if he was holding back himself from being happy.

A day and night trip to the White Wood Valley, although there is no wonderful adventure.

But everyone seems to have something to gain.
