1. Travel through the Atlas for 20 years
Bright City, 233 White Rose Boulevard, early in the morning.
Lloyd lay on his cot, holding a delicate invitation in his hand, rubbing it constantly, with a look of ambition on his face.
The invitation feels good to the hand, with a frosted base and a delicate pattern of gilded stamping on it, and a straight knife and an arquebus interlaced in flames.
This was a conscription order sent to him by the Holy Inquisition, one of the three major courts under the Brilliant Order.
"After 20 years of traveling through another world, it can't be said that it is useless, it can only be regarded as nothing, and as a progressive young man with higher education, I am really ashamed ......"
"But that's all in the past, and from today onwards, everything is different!"
Lloyd was muttering to himself when he suddenly heard a soft voice outside the door:
"Xiao Yi~ It's time to get up! Breakfast is your favorite beef noodle. ”
"It's coming!"
Lloyd hurriedly answered, quickly got up and cleaned up, walked out of the room, and saw a petite and cute girl busy in the kitchen.
Her figure is extraordinarily petite, just as tall as the stove, and her appearance is also childish and lovely, but she wraps her long white hair around her head with a silk scarf, leaving only a strand of dull hair that stands up high in front of her forehead, revealing a virtuous temperament that is completely inconsistent with her appearance, as if she is pretending to be mature, and there is a different kind of cuteness.
In order to make breakfast, she had to stand on a small bench and try to stand on her bare feet to get two bowls of noodles out of the pot, which was extremely hard and pitiful.
The bright sunlight broke in through the window, making her figure more vivid, and the jade feet standing high on tiptoe were more like two shiny little white fish, which looked more delicious than breakfast.
This is Lloyd's sister and his only relative on earth, Everol.
Lloyd hurriedly went over to help his sister and brought out two bowls of fragrant beef noodles.
"Wow! It's so fragrant, my sister's cooking skills are really getting better and better! ”
"Hmph~ I'm your all-powerful sister, how can this little thing stump me?"
Beef noodles are not the recipe of this world, but the taste of the earth, and because Lloyd wanted to eat it, Everol restored the familiar taste in his memory after dozens of failures.
Lloyd went for two more glasses of milk, and when he turned around, he saw Ephrol climbing into the high-backed chair with his hands and feet, sitting upright, and his feet dangling under the chair, which had changed into cartoon animal slippers.
Then untie the silk scarf on his head, let a soft white hair cascade down like a waterfall, and reach out to pull a few strands of ear hair behind the pointed ears.
"Sister, do you want to ...... Shall we change to a set of lower furniture? ”
Lloyd doesn't remember the first time he made such a suggestion.
But Everol shook her head vigorously as before.
"No, no, no! You're so tall, if you sit too short, you won't be able to eat...... Besides, you are about to enter the society, and there are still many places where you need money, so we have to save some money. ”
Lloyd could only smile helplessly and sat down beside his sister.
She has always been like this since she was a child, always putting her younger brother first.
After pulling two bites of noodles, Everol's big emerald green eyes narrowed slightly, and her feet under the table shook happily, obviously satisfied with her progress in cooking.
But she saw the two chopsticks in her brother's hand, and then looked at the fork in her hand that was inconvenient to use, and finally stared at her delicate little hand, puffed out her cheeks, and asked:
"By the way, Xiao Yi, you're going to the Holy Inquisition Court today, right?"
"Yes, today is the deadline."
"Alas~ Although my sister supports your decision and believes in your choice, I still think Xiaoyi is more suitable for the profession of doctor or lawyer? Or a securities company or something like that? ”
"But I studied civil engineering in college......
Lloyd replied with a smile and a smile, and then explained:
"It's good to join the Holy Inquisition, no one will dare to bully us in the future, and you don't have to buy tickets to go to the amusement park or take the tram."
"I know, but after all, it's a military organization, and it's always going to face those man-eating monsters, it's terrifying! Sister is afraid that you will be in danger......"
"It's okay, sister, don't be afraid, it'll be fine, after all, I promised you that I will take care of you for the rest of my life...... When I am promoted to the top of the Order in the future, my sister, you don't have to work hard every day, you can raise flowers and small animals every day, and do what you like. ”
"Hehe, my sister is looking forward to that day, my sister believes that my Xiaoyi will definitely have a future! You will definitely be able to grow up in the Order, become a great man on the top, and then marry a beautiful and virtuous girl, and give birth to a lovely little Yi, so that I will ......"
"Ahem, sister, let's focus on reality first......"
Lloyd persuaded with some embarrassment.
If she didn't stop her association, maybe in a few seconds, she would have to discuss with herself where her little grandson's wedding was held......
The two chatted like this, and ended the warm breakfast with a beautiful vision for the future.
Lloyd consciously ran to wash the dishes, and Ephroll went back to her room, seemingly forgetting to close the door and starting to change clothes.
She stepped on the bed with one foot, and slowly pulled up a pair of white stockings with excellent texture, so that the milk-like smooth white swallowed the pink and delicate flesh color little by little, and finally the two blended together, showing a sweet taste like ice cream.
Then he changed into a shirt jacket and a long skirt, dressed a little immature that did not match his appearance, and only the round calves tightly wrapped in white stockings were exposed under the skirt, which was as sweet as cream ice cream.
After changing her clothes, Ephrol sat down at the dresser and saw Lloyd hurrying over, wiping her hands as she went.
Then Lloyd picked up a comb in the shape of a cartoon animal, helped his sister comb her long white hair into two playful double ponytails, and tied two bows with two purple ribbons, one left and one right.
It's like this every morning, the older sister helps the younger brother prepare for the breakfast, and the younger brother helps the younger sister get dressed up.
The sisters and brothers have always been like this, supporting each other, snuggling up to each other, and surviving the most difficult time together.
Everol looked at her brother's tall and handsome figure in the mirror, smiled sweetly, and said softly:
"Hehe, my Xiaoyi is really gentle, I don't know which girl will be cheaper in the future?"
"No matter which family it is, you must get your sister's approval, and in the same way, if you want to find a boyfriend, you have to pass me first."
"Then Xiaoyi, you have to come on, my sister's standards are very high!"
"My standards are not low...... By the way, what are you tossing with Miss Desda these days? Is it hard? ”
Lloyd asked suddenly.
"It's not hard, Miss Desda suddenly decided to become a folklorist during this time, so I helped her collect some interesting stories, small rumors, and every day is very leisurely."
Ephrol said, turning her beautiful emerald eyes again, and added:
"I believe that Miss Desda will become a good folklorist who will give lectures in various places every day, publish books in short supply, and have a long queue of fans looking for her autographs and then ......."
"Ahaha, yes......"
Lloyd echoed with a smile on his face.
My sister has always been like this, always looking forward to the people around her getting better and better, but she has no expectations for herself.
"Sister, my words...... As long as Xiao Yi doesn't dislike me in the future and is willing to be with me all the time. ”
Her vision for her future was so simple that it made Lloyd's heart ache......
Soon, her hair was combed, Evrol jumped out of her chair, stretched her arms hard, stood on tiptoe, and gave Lloyd a warm hug.
"Okay~ My sister went to work, Xiaoyi has to work hard today."
Lloyd looked down at his sister, who was only on his belly even on tiptoe, and gently hugged his sister to complete the farewell ceremony.
After Ephrol went out, Lloyd also went back to the room to clean up, then looked in the mirror and whispered:
"Panel."
