Chapter 18: Meeting the Parents (1)
Time flies by imperceptibly, and when you turn your head to find it, you are startled by it, it turns out that so much time has passed.
It's been nearly half a year since Ciri became an intern substitute teacher.
In the past six months, Ciri has not only gained something in experimental research, but more importantly, he has received the most important gift in his life - Kayla.
Ciri's life with Kayla's existence and her life without Kayla are two completely different trajectories.
Perhaps this is the power of love, as the legendary bard Roy Clifft (the author of the following poem, the full version of which is himself) describes it in one of his poems:
I love you, not only because of the way you are, but also because of the way I am when I am with you;
I love you, not only for what you do for me, but also because of what I can do for you.
I love you because you can bring out the truest part of me;
I love you, because you pass through the wilderness of my heart as easily as the sun penetrates through crystal;
My stupidity, my weakness, is almost non-existent in your gaze;
And the most beautiful place in my heart is illuminated by your light, and no one else has bothered to go so far,
People think it's too much trouble to find, so no one has ever discovered my beauty, so no one has ever been here.
The name of the poem is "Love", and the author is an ordinary bard who is not well known, so people only know his name, Roy Clift, but they do not know his life, not even his age or place of birth.
But the mere fact that the name Roy Creeft has become a legend is that "Love" perfectly depicts Ciri's feelings about love.
Love makes Ciri whole, and Ciri also hopes that this love will blossom and bear fruit as soon as possible and last forever.
At the end of the month, Kayla finally takes Ciri to the home where she was raised.
Kayla's house is located in the aristocratic district instead of around the Whispering Chamber of Commerce, and Kayla's mother's shop is also in the aristocratic district.
Ciri and her husband came in a carriage, and gifts for Kayla's family were brought with them.
Kayla saw the three gifts in the carriage and was happy to know that Ciri had prepared her brother's gift. It seems that the man she chose is still very careful, but she doesn't know what Ciri brought to his naughty child.
In fact, Ciri also thought about what to bring to Kayla's brother for a long time, because the gift for children is the most difficult to choose.
Adults just regard gifts as a courtesy and heart, even if it is not to their heart, it is nothing, etiquette and meaning are on the line, no one will hold on to this.
Children are different, especially a bear child of Kayla's age, as long as the gift is not to his heart, he will say it on the spot and you will not be able to get off the stage.
In the end, Ciri made a remote-controlled airplane based on a children's toy from his strange dream world, combined with an intelligent core to control the rune circle.
The oddly shaped toy (which doesn't exist in the wizarding world) is streamlined overall, as Ciri is built after a jet plane.
The flight of the plane does not rely on the original air spray, but on the suspension rune and wind rune array that Xi Rui tattooed on the inside of the plane to fly and control the direction.
Xi Rui also carved a low-level information processing circle on the inside of the aircraft, so that the plane would not lose control and crash due to flying out of the operating range, and at the same time, it could automatically avoid many things.
Truth be told, Ciri didn't put a lot of thought into this toy plane.
The two of them came to Kayla's door and knocked on the door, which soon opened.
It was a little guy who opened the door, needless to say Kayla's brother.
Sure enough, as soon as the little guy opened his mouth, he sweetly shouted "sister", and at the same time saw Ciri standing next to him. said, "Brother-in-law is good." ”
This sentence made Ciri's heart flutter, seeing how this little guy was pleasing to the eye, how could Kayla be so naughty and mischievous.
However, the little guy's second sentence let Ciri know that he was really not simple: "Brother-in-law, where is my gift?"
Ciri immediately came back to his senses, thinking that this little guy was really not simple, and he had prepared a gift for him, otherwise looking at the posture of this little guy who had been blocking the door, he would not come in if he had no gifts. So he quickly took out the box he had prepared for the remote-piloted plane and handed it to Kayla's brother.
Kayla watched her brother take the gift from the side, and flicked the little guy's head: "Colin, I knew I wanted a gift, thank you brother." ”
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Cory, who was flicked by the old sister, didn't care, and it wasn't the first time he had been shot, as long as the gift arrived, everything would be ok.
"Colin is so polite. Ciri replied.
Colin, who accepted the gift, hugged the box and led the two into the house.
Kayla's house is not small or very large, the whole home is tightly arranged, the portrait of the family is hung on the wall, and the bonsai is placed in the corner, which makes the whole person feel warm and elegant.
Kayla's parents sat in chairs at the table, and the two were looking at Ciri.
Kayla's father's name is Cory, and he is in the prime of life, and although he has not ventured for many years and is not in good shape, he gives people a sense of might.
Kayla's mother, Lida, is no longer young, but she still has charm, and although she is only wearing a set of casual clothes at home, she still gives people a sense of intellectually capable and rigorous strong woman.
Ciri first gave a junior salute to the two of them, and then handed the gifts to the two of them.
In the flower city, the owner of the guest's gift does not usually have to take a look at it first, expressing his love for the guest's gift.
Colin had already opened the gift, and looked curiously at the box at something he had never seen before,
Ciri walked up to him, put the remote control in his hand, and briefly explained how to play with this exotic toy.
After listening to Ciri's introduction, Colin's eyes lit up, and he immediately used the remote control to command the toy plane to fly in the house (the toy plane in the wizarding world is also very convenient to play in the house, because it will automatically dodge, and it can also fly and levitate at low speed), and it is very fun.
It was also the first time for Mr. and Mrs. Corey to see this kind of magical toy, and they saw the rise of their son's play, and they also had some expectations for the gift that Ciri gave him, after all, Ciri was an intern substitute teacher, and this kind of researcher might be able to concoct something magical.
Corey first opened his gift, found that it was a mage robe, tried it to fit very well, and immediately understood that it should be the female Kayla who bought it with Ciri, thinking that this girl was really outward, and before she passed the door, she began to help her husband please herself.
Ciri saw his father-in-law put on the mage robe, so he opened his mouth and said: "Uncle, this mage robe was selected by Kayla and me together, but I added something to the mage robe, you try to open the magic array on the cuff of your right arm, he can help you detect the energy intensity of the magic item, I divided it into ten grades, expressed by "degree", the stronger the energy, the greater the degree." ”
After listening to Ciri's words, Corey immediately felt that his son-in-law was very attentive, knowing that he was doing quality inspection, and this function was very practical for himself. Then he opened the magic array according to Xi Rui's words, and used the magic lamp above his head, and suddenly a message appeared in his mind: [Magic Strength - 1 degree].
"Okay, I like this thing very much, thank you son-in-law. Corey was clearly pleased with the gift.
Kayla next to her complained a little about Ciri, and this guy was hiding it from me, but seeing that my father was so happy was still very satisfied with Ciri, it seems that this guy is also very attentive to his family.
Then Leda opened her gift box and found that it was a pair of magic glasses, so she took them and tried them on.
"Auntie, in addition to the function of calming the nerves, I have also added some other functions to it, you can try it, open the magic array on the frame. Ciri also explained to Kayla's mother.
Leda opened the magic circle according to Ciri's story, and found that many things in front of her were marked next to them, such as the bonsai placed in their living room:
【Chery Flower】
[Non-grade magic materials, widely distributed in the Grimm Continent, with extremely low medicinal value. Because of its bright flower color and beautiful shape, it is mostly used as a home potted plant. 】
She turned her gaze to the table in the living room again:
【Nair Wood Round Table】
[Handmade from the most common Nair wood in the Nair continent, it is made and sold in various places.] Low value. 】
Looking at the magical picture in front of her, Lida looked at Ciri again in some surprise.
