Legends of Runeterra

"Beep~!"

"Ta-ta-ta~!"

The door of Li En's office on the top floor opened and Hilco walked in quickly.

"Lord Li En, Sevika has new news!"

"Well, tell me, Hilco, what is it that has you so anxious?"

"Yes, sir. Sevika sent news that the Noxian general has united a group of alchemy barons and plans to launch an attack on the 'Evolution Day' celebration..."

Hilco simply and clearly told Li En the news that Sevika had sent back, and then looked at Li En with a worried look.

"Is this another attempt to use Zaun as a black glove?"

"Yes, sir. Once the conflict escalates, I'm afraid another war will break out between Zaun and Piltover..."

Hilco was not afraid of fighting, but ever since the failed rebellion, what he longed for was a battle that could allow the people of Zaun to stand up completely, rather than being used by someone with ulterior motives and being passively involved in a meaningless vortex.

Today, all major departments of Hefeng Industry are working together, and everything is moving in a better direction. The more it develops, the greater the advantages of Hefeng Industry will be.

"Haha~! It seems that the pressure that we, Hefeng Industries, have brought to the alchemy barons is really too much."

"Sir, you mean..."

“Well, why else do you think the alchemy barons agreed to Ambersa’s opinion.

Now their conspiracy is open. If we don't participate, then Abesa will be able to take this opportunity to occupy Piltover and even part of Zaun, and use it to grow and develop.

If we participate, she can try to weaken or even destroy the Japanese industry."

"That Ambersa, is she really so arrogant!?"

“Many times people only believe what they want to believe, but... that’s fine.

Zeli, call an emergency meeting of all the departments."

"Yes, boss!"

"Let's go, Hilco, the time we've been waiting for has come."

"Yes, Master Li En!!"

...

It seems that the Evolution Day is approaching, and Piltover, which has been dull and depressed for a long time, is gradually radiating new vitality in the festive atmosphere.

The fluttering ribbons and glittering storefronts on the streets make the already prosperous city of progress even more lively.

"Leon, try this!"

Looking at the cupcake with a small hole in it that was handed to him, Li En opened his mouth and bit out a bigger hole.

"Yeah, it's delicious!"

"Hehe~! As long as you like it."

After taking a small bite on the larger gap, Orianna hugged Li En's arm tightly, with a smile on her delicate face.

As the festival approaches, Caitlin, who is a councillor and the head of the Ministry of Public Security, becomes increasingly busy. Apart from Li En personally going to her office to meet her, she has no time to spare for sightseeing.

As for Seraphine, as the most popular singing star in the Twin Cities, she would naturally perform on stage in person during the most grand and lively celebration, 'Evolution Day'.

So I've been busy with rehearsals recently and can't find time to go shopping.

Now, strolling leisurely with Li En on the streets that were bustling and lively before the festival but not too crowded, the smile on Orianna's face had never disappeared since she left the house.

"Li En, I want to try something from that store!"

"Can you still eat?"

"Hmm~! Can you help me if you can't finish it?"

"Okay, go ahead!"

"Yeah, Li En, you are so nice~!"

Standing on tiptoe, Orianna pecked Li En on the cheek.

Separating from the crowd, Li En and Orianna walked into the beautifully decorated store together.

Melodious and gentle piano music ripples in the hall, the aroma of baked desserts lingers in the air, and everything is just right in terms of comfort.

The only drawback is that the cost of living here is quite high.

Of course, if it is worth the money, then it is not its fault, but the fault of the consumer.

The uniformed female clerk's gaze lingered for a moment on Lee En's face, which was shrouded in a spell that restricted her charm, and then she gave a professional smile and bowed slightly.

"Welcome, what would you like to eat?"

"Strawberry puffs, caramel pudding, chocolate soufflé, and..."

Orianna paused for a moment, then turned her gaze from the dessert to Li En, her pretty face slightly flushed.

"Li En, I...I just got hungry after shopping today. Normally...I can't eat that much..."

"Yeah, order more. I'm hungry too."

"Really? Okay, leave it to me. I know best which ones are delicious!"

Soon, encouraged, Orianna fluently ordered a series of desserts.

As Orianna made her selection, the smile on the salesgirl's face became more genuine.

The taste of their desserts matches their prices, and the more they sell on a given day, the more commission the store clerk gets.

"Okay, would you two like to sit down in the lobby or go to the private room on the second floor?"

"Box."

"Okay, please follow me, both of you."

The decoration of the box is gorgeous and comfortable. The windows facing the street allow people to enjoy the street and the scenery in the distance, while at the same time preventing outsiders from looking in.

"Please wait for a moment, my two guests. The dessert will be served shortly."

"Well, I'm done."

"Click~!"

The door closed, and suddenly only Li En and Orianna were left alone.

Sitting next to Li En, Orianna pinched the hem of her skirt and was about to speak.

"Are you tired after walking for so long?"

"Uh... no, I'm not tired at all with you, Li En~!"

"Really? That's good. I said I would give you a foot massage."

"Well...actually..."

Facing Li En's gaze, Orianna turned her head away shyly.

“I am a little tired...”

"Okay, put it up then."

"But...what if later..."

"That's easy. I'll just sit across from you."

Li En stood up and sat down directly opposite Orianna.

"You see, this is all right."

"...Um."

Orianna nodded slightly, quietly kicked off her shoes under the table, and the fleshy and warm touch fell into Li En's palm.

"Hmm~!"

Leaning quietly against the window, a faint blush rose from Orianna's neck and gradually covered her entire cheeks.

"Dong dong dong~!"

"Woo~!"

With his hands empty, Li En did not force it, but looked towards the door calmly.

"Please come in."

"Click~!"

“Tick, tick, tick!”

"..."

Slightly heavy footsteps were heard in the silence. Orianna was originally thought to be a waiter delivering desserts. After waiting for a while, her shyness disappeared and she turned to look at the door with some confusion.

A man wearing a hat and ordinary clothes, who could blend into the crowd in an instant, stood quietly at the door.

With his head slightly lowered, the wide brim of the hat completely covered his face.

“Rustle~!”

The man gently took off his hat and looked up at the two of them.

"Good day, Mr. Li En."

"Good day, Councillor Tallis."
