The loose sleeves had been pulled up, and the long hair had been braided back and wrapped in a turban.

In order to prevent oil or other things from splashing on the body, the apron is already wrapped around the waist.

At this moment, Ashmida was standing in the kitchen with a happy smile, energetically preparing for the dinner.

There's a lot of people coming tonight.

His friends, his wife, his children, and his disciples would all come over.

Thinking of this, Ashmida couldn't help but speed up the movements of his hands, and at the same time, his closed eyes also bent into two crescents.

Suddenly, while Ashmida was busy, a reddish leaf suddenly drifted in from outside the window and landed on the cutting board in front of him.

"This—" Ashmida stopped what she was doing, stretched out her hand to pick up the fallen leaves, and smiled at the fiery red leaves.

He turned his head, and the sight of the originally lush forest outside the window had gradually faded away from the green owls that represented vitality, and the leaves began to turn red.

"It's fall."

A gentle breeze blew, and from time to time the leaves that could not be held fell from the branches and drifted to the earth.

The leaves fall to the ground, and over time, they slowly begin to decay, mixing with the dirt and becoming nutrients that are absorbed by the trees, and the trees can grow better in the coming year.

Watching the leaves fall, the image of this reincarnation suddenly floated in his mind.

He pursed his lips, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.

How many autumns has he ever had?

As a cunzii, he has long lost the concept of life, the passage of time is insignificant to him, he can even drink a cup of tea for a hundred and eighty years.

However, he is focused on every minute and every second of every day he is spending now.

The time spent with him is the most important thing for him.

For the first twenty-six autumns, he spent his life in peace and ease, living an ordinary but warm life.

From then until the thirty-sixth autumn, he spent time in darkness, loneliness, hunger, and misery, until he met the old man with a hearty smile mixed with a hint of darkness.

In the fifty-second autumn, after feeling the warmth he had not felt for a long time, he resolutely sacrificed himself for the sake of his cherished qiē, and strode into the realm of the dead without fear.

In the fifty-third autumn, after experiencing such a strange event as the resurrection from the dead, he was summoned by a weak girl named Wind, and spent this autumn with her peacefully and peacefully.

In the fifty-fourth autumn, with the feeling of tasting for the first time what is called love and the shame of breaking the agreement with the wind, he once again stepped into the palpitating darkness.

In the sixty-fourth autumn, he truly experienced the feeling of being a teacher for the first time in the true sense.

…………………

After thousands of falls.

Now he has become a husband, a teacher, a father, and a grandfather.

Unconsciously, he was already alone, and the number of people around him gradually began to increase.

Wife

Friend

disciple

Daughter

granddaughter

Before he knew it, he was no longer alone.

"I'm really happy now." Ashmida suddenly smiled, and the smile was so bright.

He gently rested his hand on his chest, and the sound of a strong, powerful heartbeat kept coming from his hand.

The heart has been filled with warmth.

However, there is always a gap that cannot be filled.

Yagami Tempest, Sasha

These two names have never faded in Ashmida's heart.

"Wind, Sasha........." The originally cheerful and relaxed smile gradually retracted.

He muttered these two names, his expression very complicated.

Ashamed, nostalgic...... Mixed together.

But, then, his smile bloomed again.

"It's almost there, it's almost ......" He hasn't been living a dull life all these years.

After becoming a man, from time to time he began to search for the world he had been to before.

In the vast and infinite multitude, he searched carefully one by one, talked with each one, and asked them for news.

Gradually, the more he knew, the more information he received, and the scope of his search became smaller and smaller.

And now, his goal is close at hand, and all that remains is to negotiate there.

Soon, soon he will be able to see Blast again and see if she has grown up and how she is doing.

Soon, soon he will be able to see Sasha again, to see if she and Pegasus are having a happy life, and, perhaps, he will be able to see his comrades again.

Soon, soon he will be able to see the one he misses again!

"Click~~"

Suddenly, the sound of the door being pushed open broke into the ears of Ashmida, who was in deep thought, interrupting her train of thought.

"I'm back~~ A-chan, I'm hungry, are you ready~~~~"

The familiar, languid voice brought Ashmida to his senses.

Suzu has returned?!

He looked at the sky, and he was surprised to see that the sun outside the window was slowly setting, disappearing behind the mountain little by little.

That is, he started at three o'clock in the afternoon and stayed until sunset time?!

"Ahh Ashmida smiled bitterly and shook his head, he hadn't started anything.

It looks like I'm really old, and if I don't pay attention, I'm immersed in my own train of thought and forget about time, is this Alzheimer's?

"Gotta hurry... Huh? Ashmida scooped up the kitchen knife and sighed as he looked at the half-finished ingredients in front of him, ready to speed up the process.

"Bang!" The dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground suddenly sounded.

Ashmida looked at his hand with a surprised face, just now, the kitchen knife suddenly slipped out of his hand, but he didn't feel the slightest feeling, and he didn't react until he heard the sound.

"How... What's going on? ”

Suddenly, the world spun around, and Ashmida felt as if something had smashed his head, and by the time he came back to his senses, his body had taken several steps back, leaning weakly against the wall to barely stand.

The feeling that the Buddha's body was out of control made Ashmida very stunned, but it came and went quickly, and before he could figure it out, he had already regained control of his body.

"........." Ashmida's expression became extremely confused and solemn, because he suddenly found that there seemed to be some blurry images in his mind.

"A-chan, what are you doing?!" Suzu, who hadn't received a response from Ashmida for a long time, had already opened the curtain of the kitchen door and walked in, and when he saw the strange situation in the kitchen, he was suddenly a little flustered.

The half-cut ingredients, the kitchen knife that fell on the floor, and Ashmida leaned against the kitchen wall as if in contemplation.

How weird is this!!

"It's nothing, it's just that I've been pranked again." Ashmida retracted her confused expression, bent down to pick up the kitchen knife, and smiled brightly at Suzu, casually pulling out a reason.

"Cut, is that old woman again?" Suzu rubbed her hair, and the misguided train of thought by Ashmida slid smoothly to a seventeen-year-old girl, she pursed her lips slightly, and then naturally stepped forward to take the kitchen knife from Ashmida's hand.

"Suzu?"

"The time is almost up, and the two of them will be more efficient." Seeing Ashmida's puzzled expression, Suzu raised her hand and gently touched Ashmida's forehead.

"Huh?! Suzu, what are you doing here?! "It's really strange that what I used to do to others is now being applied to myself.

Looking at Ashmida's confused appearance, Suzu sneered.

This person, she doesn't plan to let go.

So, speed up a little bit?

At this time, there was a sudden noise in the living room, and there was a knock at the door.

Ashmida tapped Suzu's little head and punished her for her actions that were neither big nor small.

"Baba yes, it's really lively."

After knocking, he withdrew his hand and listened to the noise, revealing a faint smile that concealed the solemnity between his eyebrows.
