Chapter 13: The Wanderer's Homecoming
That night, the party held in order to practice Shaji ended successfully.
The crowd was immersed in joy, unaware that a battle had just taken place in the outside world that could affect the pattern of the earth.
Dagu, the only one who received the notification from the victory team, remained silent and did not say a word throughout the whole process.
It wasn't until everyone gradually dispersed that Dagu walked up to Sha Ji with a smile on his face and gave each other a deep hug.
"Sister Sha Ji, congratulations, you can finally go home!"
Faced with Dagu's rare sad side, Sha Ji was stunned at first, and then hugged the other party with his backhand.
"Haha, don't be so sad!"
"It's not like I can't come back, you just let me be on a business trip for a few days."
When he said this, Shaji's face was full of emotion.
Today, Dagu is no longer the child who once got lost on the beach and couldn't find a home.
After going through so many things, Dagu has become a lot more calm and reliable.
If you want to say that the only thing that remains unchanged is probably the gentleness of Da Gu from beginning to end.
"Well, I will definitely wait for you to come back, and everyone will definitely wait for you to come back."
Not realizing the subtext of Dagu's words, Sha Ji, who was still immersed in the joy of going home, let go of Dagu's embrace, and then pointed to the other party's head and whispered.
"Of course!"
"But the next time I come back, you'll have to tell me how you and Lina are doing."
As soon as these words came out, Da Gu, who was originally slightly deep, suddenly became flustered, and his face instantly flushed with a blush.
"Ahem, Sister Sha Ji, you're kidding again."
"Lina and I really don't have anything, we're just ordinary colleagues."
Rolling his eyes very directly, Sha Ji said noncommittally.
"Uh-huh, ordinary colleagues, ordinary enough to date together."
"Anyway, I don't care about this, if you still haven't made progress when you come back next time, don't blame me for being rude!"
Swearing and clenching his fists, Saki continued to tease in the same tone.
Just like everyone's reluctance to Sha Ji, Sha Ji is also diluting the sadness of this practice party in his own way.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that."
"Let's go and see the 'lonely old man' who has been hiding inside and refuses to come out!"
"Obviously, he said that he was going to hold a practice party for me, but he hid inside from beginning to end and refused to come out."
Although the words were full of complaints, Da Gu could hear that Sha Ji was not really blaming Lu Xuan.
After all, the three of them have been together as partners for so long.
The sense of alienation and indifference exuded from Lu Xuan's body was clearer than them.
"That guy...... Always. ”
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
"That guy...... Always. ”
Da Gu's pun resounded in his ears, but Lu Xuan just raised his eyebrows indifferently, not caring about some kind of resentment in the other party's words.
"Tomoko, go and get the portal ready."
"Everything that happened tonight is coming to an end."
As soon as Lu Xuan's words fell, the footsteps of Sha Ji and Da Gu had already appeared in the aisle.
After sending off the people who practiced it, this second-hand second-hand shop, which was originally small, completely regained its calm.
Squeak!
So, when Sha Ji and Dagu pushed open the inner door, the sound of wooden friction was particularly clear.
"Lu Xuan! Here we go! ”
A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Lu Xuan replied.
"yes, I see."
The tacit question and answer is like a normal communication on weekdays.
Whether it is Sha Ji, Lu Xuan, or Da Gu, they no longer show any reluctant love for their children.
"Let's go!"
"I can't wait to see Marchina again!"
After receiving Sha Ji's affirmative reply, Lu Xuan slowly stood up from the stool.
"Are you going to come along?"
Turning his head to look at Da Gu, Lu Xuan asked knowingly.
"Stop talking nonsense."
Although he knew that Lu Xuan was deliberately stimulating himself, Da Gu still habitually quarreled with the other party.
Seeing this scene, Sha Ji smiled and shook his head, Lu Xuan had changed a lot after all.
At the very least, Lu Xuan, who was in front of his acquaintances, rarely showed that sense of alienation that rejected people thousands of miles away.
"Tomoko, activate the teleportation!"
With a familiar ripple of space, the three of them had disappeared into Sixth Avenue.
It is a huge beach with a blue sea and blue sky as far as the eye can see, giving it a chic and cozy feeling.
Coupled with the urban agglomeration buildings behind the three of them, it inexplicably gives people a sense of rural retirement life.
"Amamijima?"
"This is my home?"
Recognizing where this was at a glance, Sha Ji and Da Gu invariably widened their eyes.
One is an immortal who has lived here for nearly a hundred years, and the other is a local who grew up here.
It's not surprising that the two were able to recognize this as Amamijima.
What really surprised the two of them was, why did Lu Xuan bring himself here?
"Where do you think I'm going to take you?"
First glanced at Sha Ji, and then glanced at Da Gu ......
Lu Xuan always felt that the image in the hearts of these two people seemed to be a subtle dislocation.
"I just said I found your 'spaceship', but I didn't say it was in my possession right now."
There was a slight pause in his tone, and Lu Xuan then added.
"Now...... That's when the ship is recovered. ”
As if to prove what you say.
Lu Xuan suddenly spread out his palm and took out a musical instrument similar to a flute.
Shaki could see at a glance that it was the "beacon" he used to summon Macchina.
But it's different from my own "beacon" that has been destroyed.
The "beacon" in Lu Xuan's hand is obviously more carryable, and it looks more like a real musical instrument on the surface.
"Don't look at it, this is what I made based on that summoner of yours."
The civilization of the Sand Age may indeed be very good in terms of biotechnology.
However, in Lu Xuan's eyes, this civilization is too biased, and even extremely important things like "beacons" are not too high-tech.
"For your subsequent use, but also to prevent you from losing your 'spaceship' again......"
"I've improved this summoner a bit, and there's a small subspace built into it."
"No matter how much you run around in the future, as long as you remember to throw the 'spaceship' into subspace, there will be no more strange oolongs that lose your own 'spaceship'."
was obviously doing a good deed, but Lu Xuan's poisonous tongue outside of his words made Sha Ji couldn't help but be angry.
Seeing this scene, Da Gudu couldn't help but laugh, and turned his head sideways and couldn't bear to look at it directly.
