The sky gradually faded, leaving only a faint yellow halo still hanging on the starry sky.

Leonard gently hung a weather doll in the doorway, next to a few flaming red lanterns, indicating that he and Sissel had spent another New Year in the house.

"Hmm...... I miss it so much......" he muttered, looking at Sissel in the room.

He couldn't help but recall the snowy night at the beginning, the care at the beginning, and the hug at the beginning.

Leonard smiled and walked briskly into the room.

The house was also full of energy at this time, clean and spotless, and even the air was so fresh.

Although I don't know why Sissel always likes to decorate his home in full swing before the New Year, Leonard still likes the festive atmosphere.

The red candle on the dining table glowed softly and warmly yellow, striking him in the face, which tickled his heart.

"Alright, let's eat."

Sissel graciously picked up the knife first, and Foxie and Leonard began to eat.

Swallowing a piece of tender and juicy beef, Leonard looked at Sissel and asked:

"Daddy, do you have any New Year's resolutions?"

In Leonard's room, the gift he had prepared for Sissel had been waiting for a long time. Still, he wanted to ask Sissel.

"Well, let me think about it......," Sissel smiled lightly, "Well, I hope you are all healthy and safe." ”

It's this wish again, why hasn't my dad changed for so many years...... Leonard complained helplessly, then looked at Foxie and asked:

"What about you, Flasie?"

Foxie smacked her lips, thought for a moment, and said:

"I hope you and Mr. will be well, young master."

"Why are you becoming like Daddy Fluffie?" Leonard snorted and laughed.

Sissel put down the silver knife and made a crisp sound, he glanced at Leonard, smiled and asked:

"Then Leonard, do you have any wishes?"

Leonard sighed, looked at the silver moon with a silvery white glow outside the window, and thought to himself:

"I ...... I hope you can all stay with me, that's enough...... Geezer! Don't interject! ”

Parles shook his head, his lips slightly hooked, half casual and half inducing:

"Well, you can only choose not to be promoted, and stay in the mediocre Sequence 9, or ...... Be strong. ”

Leonard was about to refute Pales, but Sissel on the side asked with a smile:

"What do you want?"

Leonard opened his mouth, but swallowed the words he was about to say and replaced them with:

"I hope you can find a good job soon."

"What, are you really afraid of being poor?" Sissel teased with a laugh.

Before Leonard could reply, Sissel got up and pulled out a certificate from his waist and gently placed it on the table.

Both Leonard and Fluse looked over curiously, but both were taken aback the next moment.

Flosie covered her mouth and whispered a few words, Leonard didn't care, there was only one thought in his head right now—

"Oh my God! It turns out that the rich man is actually myself?! ”

The deposit that belonged to Sissel as written on the certificate was a full 37,077 pounds!

37,077 pounds! What a concept!

It's 741540 Sole! It's 8898480 penny! It is a huge amount of money that can directly change the entire life of everyone in the Nieting family!

It is estimated that those nominal "nobles" in Beckland are not as rich as him!

But then, Leonard came to his senses and became extremely flustered. He asked Sissel pretending to be calm:

"Old, Daddy. The money ...... Is it true? ”

"Definitely."

"That'...... Is it legitimate? ”

"It must be legal, otherwise I wouldn't have shown it to you."

"What about ......" Leonard pursed his lips and cautiously asked, "Did you earn it yourself?" ”

Sissel laughed at Leonard's worried gaze, then shook his head.

He preempted Leonard's words and said:

"Don't worry, Leonard, you know I'm not that kind of person."

"I'm sure I know, but I ......"

"Don't worry, rest assured," Sissel said, taking back the certificate, crumpling it haphazardly and putting it in his pocket, "I didn't get it by doing anything illegal or cooperating with any criminal. ”

"This is your grandfather...... Sissel said with a pause, quietly stopping the moisture in his eyes, "...... Your grandfather's inheritance, and the money I've earned over the years, add up. ”

Leonard was stunned, for the first time he had heard Sissel talk about his father and his past.

After all, Sissel, who once had only a false humanity, didn't care about these things.

"But don't splurge on it, I won't be able to give you more than 1,000 pounds right now." Sissel reminded him, though he knew Leonard wasn't that kind of person.

"Daddy...... You're ......," Leonard took a deep breath, "you've really surprised me." ”

Flisie watched the father and son quietly, and then she smiled enviously.

Not to envy the money, but ...... Family.

Foxie looked up at the starry sea of stars, as if she saw her imprisoned companions again.

Her lips moved slightly, and she murmured silently:

"Everyone, wait for me."

……

After experiencing so much fright and surprise, everyone couldn't eat anymore, so they returned to the spacious living room.

Leonard was going back to get the gifts he had prepared for Sissel and Flosis, and it was just in time to ease his excitement, so he went first, and now only Sissel and Fluse were left in the living room.

Sissel slowly took out a small box with a ribbon tied with it, handed it to Foxie, and said gently:

"It's a New Year's gift for you."

"Thank you, sir." Foxie took it, and then shyly took out a delicate silver pocket watch and handed it to Sissel, "I, I don't have anything for you, so I'll ...... it."

"Thank you." Sissel took it, remembering the seal of the pocket watch he had given to Will Ensettin.

"Daddy! Flosis! Leonard came out just in time with two boxes in his arms.

He went to the couch and sat down, took the box to Sissel and Flexie, and then smiled and said:

"Happy New Year, everyone."

Fluse also took out a high-brimmed hat with colorful feathers in it, handed it to Leonard, and said:

"Happy New Year."

Leonard took it and tried to put it on, it felt quite good, and even felt that he was more poetic, and said with a smile:

"Thank you! Come on, come on, take the box apart and see! ”

The two nodded, unpacking.

Sissel had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses bordered with broken diamonds, which he tried to put on, just right, not too big, not too small.

"Dad, you've been using your glasses for a few years, and it's time to replace them." Leonard said with a smile.

Sissel nodded, he could see the extraordinary power contained in the glasses, presumably made by Leonard with some member of the "Mechanical Heart".

Although this effect did not have any effect on him at all, he was still very pleased with Leonard's understanding.

Flosis's is a whole set of expensive cosmetics that girls love, which Leonard only found out after painstakingly asking Roseanne.

Suddenly, the sky outside the window was lit up by clusters of fireworks, and a loud sound reached the ears of the three of them through the walls.

- It's January 1, 1349.

Leonard ran over excitedly, then grabbed the hat given by Foxie, ran to the door quickly, opened the door, and shouted to Sissel and Flusie behind him:

"Look! It's the New Year! ”

Oh, yes...... It's New Year...... Sissel walked over with a smile, but there was an unusual color in his eyes.
