Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Taiyang, who was standing by, took out the casserole he usually used to cook medicine and began to tear off the petals and put them in.

[“That should be enough. I still have some Yaqilina that I bought before, the gold and moonlight models. I’ll put them in later.”]

[“Oh—these two colors are hard to find.”]

The ghost gave the sun a thumbs up.

The latter snorted and took out two large glass jars from the mustard seed space.

Two well-preserved agapanthus flowers were suspended in it, their petals gleaming in the sunlight.

The sun patted the seal of the jar, smiled proudly and said:

[“Put this in there, and the prayer paper you make will be absolutely unique and beautiful!”]

[“Oh! Little Sun, you still have this kind of stock? But the ones I have and Cotton Girl have aren’t bad either. Look! I just picked this one, isn’t it nice?”]

Uncle Shitou, who had just returned, took a look at the jar in Sun's hand, praised it with appreciation, and then took out a handful of silver feathers with flowing light and placed them on the table.

[“Silver Moon Pterosaur?! Uncle Shitou, did you and Mianhua go to rob?”]

[“Hey! How can this be considered robbery? This is a legitimate transaction!”]

[“Ghost——Why did I rob? Give them to the sun. These will be used as ingredients for your magic potion.”]

[“Wow! Thank you Cotton!”]

Cotton, who had walked over here at some point, stuffed a handful of Silver Moon Pterosaur feathers into Sun's hand, then crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Ghost with raised eyebrows.

The other party was holding a contract book in his hand, with a beautiful feather fixed on the open pages.

The ghost was sure that he had just seen the pterosaur's soul shrinking.

Knowing that he would be beaten if he continued speaking, the magician raised his hands to his chest to show surrender, and slid to hide behind Yun Xianhe.

[“As expected of the owner of a boxing ring, he has an aura of 1.8 meters.”]

"Ghost, if you get beaten up later, remember to run fast."

[“Hey, hey——Yun, you’re really not cute at all. You said before that I was your favorite friend. Shouldn’t you protect me?”]

"There's nothing I can do. Like the gentleman said, the palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh."

[“Who said that? The flesh on my palm is thicker than mine. You don’t even show favoritism to me! I’m so sad——”]

The oversized wizard began to complain in a wronged tone.

The sun on the side couldn't help but laugh out loud:

[“Hahaha, looking at it this way, it seems like Ayun is a heartless person.”]

[“What an unfaithful man——”]

Hearing this, the brave man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was forced to stop removing the petals.

He raised his hand and rubbed the head of the man on his shoulder, his tone full of helplessness and pampering:

"Okay, okay, I like you the most."

[“What about me? Ah Yun, don’t you like your little sun brother?”]

The golden curly-haired healer took advantage of her cute looks to do whatever she wanted, holding her cheeks with her hands and looking at Yun Xianhe eagerly.

"like,"

[“Yun——Which one do you like?”]

[“Come on, pick one and I’ll coax you to sleep tonight.”]

Sun blinked teasingly, then weaved a few flowers at hand into a bracelet and put it directly on Yun Xianhe's hand which was just about to reach out to touch his hair.

The hero surrounded by two people is facing a great enemy (?) The men on the left and right (?)

My husband just went out and will be back in about two hours. There is no one to help.

Forget it, even if the gentleman was here, he would probably just be there to watch the fun.

Thinking of this, the brave man frowned and sighed helplessly:

"You guys, ... Hey, Uncle Shitou, just watch?"

【“Hahahaha, then I’ll join you?”】

Hearing this, Mianhua tried hard not to laugh and gave the other person a thumbs up.

[“Well done.”]

Uncle Shitou, you know how to chat.

[“Come on, come on, uncle, I’m not partial, give everyone a hug!”]

[“Wow! Uncle Shitou, don’t come over here!”]

The first one to be picked up was the sun.

The sturdy man put his hands through the man's armpits and lifted him up from the chair. No matter how fierce the man looked, he just gave him a hug.

The sun that was put down felt as if it had just hit a rock.

The ghost on the side swallowed and was about to refuse.

Uncle Shitou directly pulled the man over with one hand, and patted him on the shoulder while hugging him:

[“Eat more, Ghost. Why do I feel like you’ve lost weight again?”]

[“Ahem, uncle! It’s ok, uncle! I feel your love! Ugh!”]

【"Hahaha!"】

The ghost felt like he was being strangled.

It was Yun Xianhe's turn last. He stood up with a helpless look on his face. After enjoying the 'hug of love', he bumped shoulders with the other person.

[“Not bad! Xiaohe is still strong!”]

The brave man, who staggered after being slapped, straightened his glasses and gave a thumbs up:

"As expected of a heavy-armored warrior, Uncle Shitou, your physique is really,... amazing!"

[“Haha, yes! That’s the word! Cotton, do you want to try it?”]

【"ha?!"】

Looking at the sturdy man who was about to give her a loving death hug, Cotton was frantically thinking about how to reduce some of the strength.

[“Oh——Give our queen a loving hug. You must have worked hard fighting the pterosaur just now.”]

“Cotton worked hard.”

[“Very beautiful feathers, thank you Cotton!”]

Surrounded by a group of men, Mianhua felt like she was being strangled to death, and she couldn't break free.

He almost triggered his passive defense attribute—he could beat the master to death with random punches.

[“It’s getting weirder!”]

Cotton, who had finally rescued himself, rolled his eyes at the people who were laughing.

He rolled up his loose sleeves and took out a can of pearlescent adhesive from the mustard seed space.

[“Okay, let’s get down to business! Mix this with the flower petals, boil it, add some lin powder, pour it into a mold, let it dry, and then cut it into pieces of prayer paper.”]

The ghost, who was making this kind of thing for the first time, touched his chin, thought for a moment and spoke boldly:

[“Why does it look like sliced ​​flower candy?”]

[“Pfft, hahahaha! It seems so!”]

The sun laughed so hard that he almost knocked over the casserole.

Uncle Shitou picked up the illustrated book on the table and looked around:

[“Hey, you’re right, it really does look like it, but it says here that it becomes as hard as wood after drying. Otherwise, I’d really like to try it.”]

[“Uncle Shi, don’t eat anything randomly…”]

[“Hahaha, I know, that’s just what I said.”]

A group of people started doing manual experiments while chatting and laughing.

This is a birthday surprise for my husband, and I must finish it before he comes back.

[“Ghost, please keep an eye on us. If the master comes back, please remember to tell us.”]

[“I think I saw your scroll?”]

[“Huh?! Quick, quick, quick! Hide the things!”]

After a flurry of activity, the five people sat at the table in the camp, pretending nothing had happened.

The gentleman who had finished surveying the data of the nearest hill came back with a scroll. As soon as he stepped into the camp, he met the sight of five people.

"Sir, you're back. Did the survey go well?"

[“It went smoothly. The ecology on the mountain is good, and there are a small number of rare herbs.”]

[“Sir, come and sit down. I’ll get you some water.”]

Seeing Bai Yue Changsheng coming over, Mianhua quickly stood up to give him his seat, then turned around to light a fire and boil water.

The former gave her a suspicious look before turning his head to meet the ghost's gaze.

Someone who always felt that he was being seen through coughed lightly, stood up, patted his wizard robe, and at the same time calmly hid the flower petals on it in his palm.

[“I’ll go take a look around. When I came here just now, I seemed to see some precious materials that can be used to cast magic.”]

[“Wait a minute, ghost. I think I saw it too. I’m with you!”]

Only the brave and the heavily armored warrior were left at the table.

Yun Xianhe glanced at the gentleman, then glanced at the two people who seemed to be heading into the woods, and stood up to follow them:

"I'll go watch over them both to prevent them from getting into danger."

Very good, now only Uncle Shitou is left.

The sturdy man who was not good at lying or hiding things was holding the book in his hand, looking serious as if he was studying an epic problem.

【“Uncle Shi?”】

[“Hmm, hm? What’s wrong, sir?”]

[“The book is upside down.”]

[“Ahem! Ahahahaha, I was wondering why I couldn’t understand the words in this book. I was looking at the pictures. The illustrations of the creatures in this book are really good. They look delicious.”]

The gentleman glanced at the title of the book - "Illustrated Guide to Unusable Creatures (New)"

The guide looked as if he was hesitant to speak.

Uncle Shitou decided to find something to do so that he wouldn't have to talk nonsense out loud later.

[“Well, sir, what would you like to eat for lunch? I’m going to cook.”]

[…How about I do it?]

The three people standing in the woods looked at the sky, the ground, the grass, and the messy-looking creatures, aimlessly not knowing what to do.

"Do you think the gentleman will like it?"

The brave man standing behind the tree took a look at the figure in the camp and felt a little unsure.

They have lived together for so many years, but apart from books, tea and some old people's hobbies, he really doesn't know what the gentleman likes.

"How about I prepare a tea set for you, sir?"

The magician and healer standing behind the hero looked at each other, and stepped forward at the same time, one with their hands on Yun Xianhe's shoulders.

The ghost glanced at the man who was trying to stop Uncle Shitou from cooking, and seemed to sigh:

[“Sir, you are not one of those old stubborn people. Besides, doesn’t life need surprises?”]

[“Mr. will definitely like it, because this is a gift you made yourself.”]

Yun Xianhe looked at the young man who was smiling and chatting with Mianhua and Shi Shu in the distance, and lowered his eyes slightly to glance at the wreath on his wrist.

"I hope, sir, you'll be happy."

[“Of course! We hope so too.”]

[“So this birthday must be beautiful!”]
