After a leisurely afternoon tea, Lu Jiu and her friends surprisingly entered a state of boredom.

You read that right, it's boring. It is the kind of wonderful state that is said to be good is to cultivate life and recuperate, and to restore physical strength, and to say that it is difficult to say, it is to eat and wait for death.

Sitting comfortably in the courtyard soaking up the afternoon sun, Lu Jiu drank black tea while watching the cute creatures rolling on the lawn. Of course, it would be even more perfect if the obscure sculpture was gone.

This laid-back and idleness feeling, Lu Jiu doesn't know how long it has been since she tasted it. Perhaps because after a while, the passage could be completely repaired, and the feeling of urgency when looking for the treasure of heaven and earth had subsided a lot unconsciously.

"It would be nice if every corner of the world could be at peace like this..."

Recalling the scene of war-torn people and struggling people on the way to Jerusalem, Lu Jiu suddenly let out such an emotion. Moreover, there was a feeling in the darkness telling Lu Jiu that it would not be long before there would be a violent upheaval on this continent.

Although Lu Jiu really wanted to help the people of the southern region rebuild their homes together, it was clear that this was not a task she could accomplish on her own. Fortunately, the group of people he rescued had been temporarily resettled after arriving in Jerusalem and had temporary jobs. This still gave Lu Jiu some insignificant comfort.

"Ah~I really hope the world can be peaceful~"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Leisurely times always pass very quickly. It's like it's just summer vacation, but it's August in the blink of an eye.

Set off at the appointed time to find the old Pope who had finished his business, but the most excited person in the group was not Lu Jiu, but Tolia, who had been standing on her shoulder and screaming. After hearing that he was going to dinner, the little one went into a state of excitement out of control. You know, Jerusalem is the base camp of Lu Jiu and his party. Not only are there some of the best chefs in the world, but most importantly, you don't have to pay for it yourself.

Come to the agreed location - a restaurant on the summit of the Holy Mountain. This restaurant is said to be owned by Asuna-sensei, and it was only officially built after the accident ten years ago. In addition to private packages for the church's top executives, there are also some inexpensive healthy foods for paladins returning from their missions to replenish their strength and nutrition.

It is precisely because of the delicious food and reasonable management that this restaurant has always been well received by everyone. This can be seen from the long queue in front of Lu Jiu and the others.

"I'm sorry, young lady, if you want to eat, you have to queue up. ”

Seeing Lu Jiu skip the line and walk towards the inside of the restaurant, a young girl waitress in a cheongsam stopped them very politely.

"Of course, if you've booked a suite before..."

"Alright, Aria, leave this to me. The one in front of you is a distinguished guest. ”

"Teacher?"

"Call me boss here~"

"Yes, yes! boss!"

The maiden's waitress was interrupted by the owner of the restaurant, Asuna's initiation teacher, Hizcliff.

"Sorry for the trouble. With a polite bow to Lu Jiu, the cheongsam maid named Alia quietly went to entertain the other guests.

"Wangwangwang!(Teacher~!)" With a flutter from Lu Jiu's arms, Asuna, who hadn't seen her mentor for a long time, jumped onto Heathcliff's shoulder.

Rubbing her head against her teacher affectionately, Asuna was like a daughter-in-law who had returned to her parents' house, closed her eyes happily, and then let out a satisfied "woo" sound after the year.

"Hahaha, although I heard the Pope talk about you, but I'm really not used to seeing Asuna become so small again~" Rubbing Asuna's little head, a happy smile appeared on Heathcliff's face.

For Heathcliff, Asuna was raised as a daughter by herself, and in his eyes, Asuna was the pearl of his palm. Although now his daughter is indeed the size of a "palm" pearl... However, this does not change Heathcliff's love for Asuna.

"Whew~ (Old friend, long time no see.) ）”

With a wave of her hand from Rujiu's arms at Heathcliff across from her, a signature smile appeared on Denisha's face (though it was rather subtle with an animal's face).

"Oh, oh, oh, this smile, could it be Denisha?"

"Woo~(Binggo, but there is no reward~)"

"It's a surprise, but it's great to see you again. Heathcliff, who hadn't been so happy for a long time, wanted to put his arms around his old friend's shoulders like he did when he was younger, but silently gave up on the idea after realizing that the other party was now just a "palm" body like Asuna.

(Come on, I don't want to see your old face at all, Heathcliff.) Unexpectedly, Asuna, the product of his light source cultivation plan, ended up in the possession of someone else, isn't it ironic?"

"Hmm... This makes people can't help but want to go up and fight with her when they hear it, could it be that guy Crokdahl is also here?strange, why didn't I see her?" raised his right hand flat, put it on his forehead and made a great sage's signature gesture, but unfortunately, Heathcliff never found the source of the sound just now.

"Squeak!squeak!(Bastard, don't ignore me!)"

Standing on Lu Jiu's head and waving his limbs in loud protest, then... Our queen didn't stand still and rolled off Lou Jiu's head...

Catching Crockdahl, who had rolled into a ball of meat, Lu Jiu spread her hands to Heathcliff in embarrassment: "Well, if you're looking for Crockdahl, she's here." ”

"Hamster!?The tigress who likes to cut off children with her ferocity and coldness, no, I mean the female crocodile, actually turned into a hamster!?poofhahaha! It's really funny, this is even more pearl than Asuna! The inhibition of this world is really a very cute existence~ hahahaha. ”
