Chapter 66: Ordinary Days (Mid-Autumn Festival 3rd Shift)
"I've already severely denounced Esther, and here's an important announcement to be made." After frolicking, the black rabbit said with a serious expression.
Everyone looked at the black rabbit with some dazed eyes in their eyes.
The Black Rabbit looked around, seeing that everyone had been attracted to it, and nodded with satisfaction, "That is, we are going to hold a party in the community tonight.
The first celebrates the addition of new companions.
Second, we celebrate that our community has regained a former partner."
In the evening, all members of NoNa, including the children, gathered next to the Mizuki Cistern.
The total is one hundred and twenty-six plus one cat.
But in terms of numbers, it can be regarded as a medium-sized community, but in fact......
"yes, then, let's welcome the new members to join NoNa and start the welcome party."
The children cheered, and on a small scale, they could see the delicacies on the tables that had been moved.
It could be said that it was all a welcome party held by a group of children.
However, the four people present did not have the slightest dissatisfaction.
"Anyway, why do you want to hold a welcome party outside the house?"
"Well, I'm just as confused."
"This is probably the biggest surprise that Black Rabbit can hold!" Leticia prepares food for the four of them, and when she hears the questions of Sixteen Nights and Asuka and says, "Now NoNa's finances are on the verge of being very dangerous, and it is estimated that in a few days, the finances will bottom out."
Although now that Esther has joined, they can be more active, but it is not easy to feed such a large group of little guys, not to mention that they have to fight with the Demon King and his subordinates to save other companions.
Eating and drinking to fill their stomachs while making noise at home like this is already a relatively luxurious thing for them.
In fact, everyone is very aware of the current situation of the community.
"Actually, it's not necessary, this kid is pushing himself too hard. What a silly bunny."
Esther spoke softly, then sighed.
"Who's to say it isn't!" Leticia looked at the black rabbit with a cheerful face and said, "A Moon Rabbit clan who was originally a Hakutena nobleman has such a heavy burden on his shoulders, and only this stupid rabbit would do this."
"However, weren't we also summoned by this stupid rabbit, and if we were a shrewd rabbit, we might not have the current reunion." Asuka said, "I kind of like this stupid bunny."
"Ditto!" Yao, who was eating silently, agreed.
"Yes, listen to the rabbit!" The Black Rabbit jumped onto the high platform and coughed lightly, "Then today's big event is about to begin, fellow friends, please look at the curtain above the box garden."
Including Esther and the others, they all looked up at the curtain of the sky.
The sky was still full of stars that night, and the stars twinkling in the sky were just as brilliant today.
However, a few seconds after the black rabbit asked for everyone's attention, a change occurred.
An exclamation sounded in the children's mouths.
Esther and the others were also surprised, in the night sky, there were stars one after another, just like a pop group, particularly beautiful.
"Everyone, it's none other than our new four friends from another world who caused this meteor shower."
The black rabbit used an old-fashioned voice, as if he was teaching Esther and the others and the children, looking at the surprised look on the faces of Esther and the others, the black rabbit nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Hakowa has taken the Heavenly Movement Theory, which means that all celestial bodies will revolve around the center of Hakoniwa City here.
A few days ago, our partners defeated the community Perseus, and because of their defeat, they were banished by ThousandEyes, so they must retreat from that starry sky as well."
Esther and the others' eyes widened, "You mean that the constellation representing Perseus will disappear from that starry sky?"
"Yes, keep reading!" The black rabbit said, when his voice fell, an extraordinarily dazzling light filled the starry sky, and when the light dissipated, the constellation that represented Perseus, the constellation of Cecilian, disappeared without a trace along with the meteor shower.
Although several people have witnessed many miracles in the past few days, this time the scale of the miracle is completely different.
With the four of them stunned, Black Rabbit continued, "Similarly, today's meteor shower is also a blessing from ThousandEyes to NoNa, who has once again become active as a community.
Anyway, please enjoy it!"
The black rabbit and the children raised their glasses happily.
But the Esther four obviously didn't feel that way.
"Even the existence of constellations can be changed at will, which means that everything we have seen so far, including the starry sky, is a stage decoration to make Hakowa more lively." Sixteen Nights had an interesting look on his face.
"That's how it should be!" Asuka and Yao looked at the curtain of Hakote, and the shock in their eyes could not be concealed no matter what.
"I felt a little strange about the starry sky before, but I didn't expect it to be created for the box garden game." After being shocked, Esther spoke softly,
"It turns out that when a certain force is so large that even the position of the stars can be manipulated wantonly, and the range of domination can reach the other side of the sky."
Esther narrowed her eyes slightly, and this was a figure that appeared in front of them, "Hmph~ Are you scared?"
Esther looked at the triumphant black rabbit and grabbed the other person's ear.
"Ah~" The black rabbit covered his ears as he heard Esther's voice sound, "I was indeed shocked by this.
Originally, I thought that with my vision, I could understand the mysteries of the world relatively well, but after seeing this, I realized that the mysteries of the world are only the tip of the iceberg.
Thanks to you, Black Rabbit, just now I set a goal in this world."
"Oh, what is it?"
Esther gestured to the position of the stars that originally belonged to the constellation Cesio, "Wouldn't it be interesting to hang our flag in that position?"
This time, it was the black rabbit who was dumbfounded.
"Hang the flag in that position?" Sixteen Night touched his chin, "Ho Ho~, worthy of Miss, I actually found such an interesting thing, so count me in!"
"Turning into the stars of the sky? It feels like it's going to be quite an interesting experience, count me in," Miss Asuka-sama's speech rang out, "Where's Yao-san?"
"With you, Asuka-san." Yao spoke.
The four of them quickly reached an agreement and had the same goal.
The black rabbit came back to his senses, "This...... It's a very romantic thing!"
The goal set as a joke is actually a very treacherous path, and the first thing they have to do is to take back everything that the demon king has taken.
After that, we must continue to let the community continue to grow, and grow to the point where even the gods, Buddhas, and Shura must recognize them.
Box Court 2105300 Outer Gate Residential Area, γNoNaγ Base Area.
Esther yawned and walked a little lazily down the hallway.
Autumn temperatures have begun to cool, and the plants that have been planted recently are becoming a little listless, with some frost flowers remaining on the windows.
Before they knew it, it had been a month since they came to Hakoniwa.
Stretching her waist, a smile appeared on the corner of Esther's mouth.
At this time, two girls came in the corridor, one was the familiar Yao, and the other was indeed a fox-eared girl.
"Good morning, Yao!" Esther waved his hand to greet the other party, and then looked at the little girl next to him, "I remember you are the little guy in the senior group, your name is Lily, right?"
"You...... Hello, Master Aster, I'm Lily, ah~" When the nervous little girl introduced herself, she bit her tongue directly.
γ
Don't be nervous, I'm not a man-eating tiger!" Looking at Lily's nervous appearance, Esther smiled lightly.
Glancing at the trolley they were pushing, "This is for the eldest lady to deliver breakfast?"
"Well, Asuka likes to sleep in, this is a breakfast made especially for her, it would be a shame if it cooled." Yao nodded and spoke earnestly.
Esther smiled, and they knew Asuka's personality after getting along for so long.
On the earth that belongs to the birds, she is a lady who is bound by etiquette and pays attention to perfection in everything, and lying in bed was an impossible thing in her previous life.
As a result, when she came to the box garden, she lost the supervision of others, and the eldest lady completely let herself go, at least with the cold weather, the eldest lady likes to take a hot bath, and likes to lie in the quilt and is reluctant to come out.
"It tastes so sweet, Lily made it!" Esther said.
"Well, how did Lord Esther know it was Lily?" Lily said in surprise.
"The smell, Lily's body is the same as the smell on this morning, obviously because she has been doing it for a long time before she gets these smells." Esther explained.
"Hey, Master Esther is amazing!"
The little girl had shock and adoration in her eyes.
"Lily has prepared breakfast for you, too, and put it in the dining room." Yao mentioned.
"Okay, thank you Lily." Esther said.
"You're welcome!" Lily's happy person responded, "I prepared black tea, fried eggs, and bread for Lord Esther, I hope Lord Esther will like it."
"Definitely, these sooners would be enough to show off Lily's skill." Esther complimented, "Let's go, the eldest lady is waiting for her early!"
"Okay, Lord Esther, I'll go with Yao-sama first." Lily saluted Esther, Yao nodded to Esther, and the two girls, one older and one younger, walked towards Asuka Der's room.
Esther passes by a gazebo and sees Black Rabbit and Leticia looking at a wasteland in a daze.
According to the direct description, it used to be a vegetable garden.
The front yard of the community also has a vegetable field, which is a vegetable field carved out of soil, but according to Black Rabbit, the vegetable field of the community before is more than ten times larger than the current grassland.
In today's vegetable fields, Black Rabbit can be said to be budget-conscious, with a small part of the vegetables and fruits planted for the community to eat, and most of them are planted with expensive plants that can be sold.
Although the community is still poor today, the life of the community is slightly better than before they arrived.
It would be nice if the abandoned land could be reclaimed.
However, according to Black Rabbit, it is quite dangerous to take the land back.
Hakoniwa's Gift Game is not only a game of receiving gifts, but also a game of duels between the organizers and the participants.
Organizations to which each other belong offer prizes and chips as bets in order to gain wealth, land, power, fame, human ...... and the crystallization of miracles, the Gift, to start the battle.
The game of the boon to restore the land is said to be a very dangerous large-scale game.
"I can put it on the agenda a little." Esther thought for a moment and nodded, if the land can be restored, then the community can sell a large amount of materials in exchange for money, and at that time, the community will not need to run around for money, and can wholeheartedly prepare for the bounty game.
Walking towards the restaurant, there was no one else in the restaurant except for a few children who were busy with the older group.
Yao went to Asuka, and Sixteen Nights had recently become obsessed with reading, so he took Ren to soak in the library all day.
Amid the children's greetings, Esther began to eat under their service.
After a while, a cat came running and clumsily jumped onto the table, "Astern, Mademoiselle asked the old man to come and invite you to the library."
The cat that came was Sanmao, Yao's good friend.
"Mr. Sanmao, what did Yao say?
Love?" Esther asked.
"It seems that Miss and Miss Asuka received a strange letter, and then went to Mr. Sixteen Nights, and asked the old man to come to you." The three-haired cat said.
"My, I see, let's go over together!" Esther said.
Esther stretched out his hand, and the three-haired cat jumped directly into his arms.
"Mr. Sanmao, how long have you been with Yao-sama?" On the way, Esther asked.
"I don't remember, when I was very young, when she was a little miss, I was by her side.
I'm old now!" Sanmao said, "I used to worry about Miss, if the old man is gone, Miss can still live happily.
But now the old man is relieved, after all, the young lady already has a group of reliable and kind partners around her."
The three-haired cat is just an ordinary cat, and their service life is too short compared to humans.
Esther could already feel that twilight had begun to appear in the other party's body, and in a year or two at most, the three-haired cat would face death.
"Don't say such depressing words, this is a box garden full of miracles, maybe in the future, we can participate in a certain game, we can make you an immortal existence, and maybe we may not be able to survive you at that time!"
"Don't that old man, don't die, when you are all gone, how lonely it is to leave the old man alone!"
Immortality does not mean happiness.
Esther smiled, and soon a man and a cat appeared in front of the stacks, Asuka and Yao, and Lily waiting at the door.
"Slow, Esther!" Asuka spoke with a lazy tone, and it was clear that she had some sleepiness on her face.
The three-haired cat jumped out of Esther's arms and ran into Yao's arms, "Thank you, Mr. Three-haired Cat."
