Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

Chapter 99 The story seems to have come to an end

It has been a while since the defeat of the demons, and the noble ennoblement ceremony that Gales mentioned has not yet taken place. What's even more strange is that with this guy's temperament, he hasn't made any noise for such a long time. I don't know if he is dead or what.

But all this has nothing to do with Lovis. These days, Oris has brought enough food from the center and issued a work badge to each townsperson, so that they have their own jobs and receive their own food according to the amount of work every day.

Moreover, at the celebration banquet on the first night of the expedition, everyone was able to have a good meal. In addition, the escort teams were always fully armed, so there was no more robbery or looting.

Looking at the town getting better day by day, Lovis felt that this place was alive for the first time since he left his parents.

"grandmother?"

Looking at his grandmother who had been leaning against the window and looking outside for who knows how many times, Lovell ran over, pulled the corner of her clothes, and looked up at her eagerly.

"hug!"

"Good~"

With Chen Xi's help and the prosperity of the town, Lovis really felt like he was ten years younger. He picked up Lovell neatly and took her to watch the world changing little by little outside the window.

"Xiao Luo, look at the place where they are hammering wooden stakes over there. That's the restaurant.

When that place is built, many, many people will gather there to share the world’s most beautiful stories and make the world’s most delicious food.”

"really?"

"of course!"

Although she was already a white-haired grandmother, Lovis's tone at this moment was exactly the same as when she was a child and listened to her parents introduce the things in the town to her for the first time.

The lightness and liveliness unique to a young girl flowed from her words.

Lovell's ears and tail disappeared without a trace when Lovell came back from the forest, but now he dared to bring her out and walk around the town.

Houses made mainly of wood have replaced the original low thatched houses.

This is the new home for the residents of the town!

From the first day of work, Oris's task was to have everyone build a real home of their own.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Lowes."

"good afternoon."

"Bringing your granddaughter out to play again?"

"Well, the town has been renovated, so I have to bring Xiao Luo out more often to meet him."

……

Different messages came out from various window frames, and Lovis responded to them one by one.

These people, who had been driven into beasts by hunger, soon regained their human dignity with the nourishment of food.

Warm greetings were heard everywhere, and more and more snacks were stuffed into the arms of Lovis, the adorable child.

Passing through alleys and passing by scenery, no matter how deep the bloodstains were, they were cleaned up meticulously by people. Now the air is filled with only the sweetness overflowing from people's happy lives.

We walked for a long time. Well, maybe the distance was not long, but the occasional conversations along the way made it seem particularly long.

In short, Lovis, holding Lovel, finally arrived at the destination of this trip - a simple house with a sign of the Adventurer's Guild.

But when Lovis looked at it, there was a hint of tears in his eyes.

"grandmother?"

She stretched out her little hand to wipe away the few tears that accidentally leaked from the corners of Lovis' eyes, but this small action made it even more difficult for her to control her tears.

"Xiao Luo!"

Trying to control his emotions by amplifying his voice, Lovis sat down opposite the Adventurer's Guild and hugged Lovel tightly in his arms.

"Do you want to hear grandma tell you stories about this place?"

"Those stories, which seem like legends to me..."

Under Lovell's expectant eyes, Lovis seemed to be ruminating, quietly taking out the past events that had been buried in his memory, chewing them, and drawing new strength from them.

"The first time I came here was to welcome my father. At that time, he was just a junior adventurer..."

The sun gradually set, and even Lovell in her arms fell asleep without her noticing, but Lovell was still tireless, bit by bit, savoring those things that were extremely precious to her with tears.

……

Like a magic trick, a beautiful ice crystal necklace appeared in Anya's empty hands.

The children sitting under the tree stared at the object that shone with a gentle luster, without moving.

"Okay, let's see who will be the good kid to get this necklace?"

"Teacher Anya, I!"

"I!"

"Choose me, Teacher Anya!"

The children's eager voices were interspersed with Anya's light laughter. She chose the child who raised his hand first and asked:

"Then let Seren answer the question: what should we do if we unexpectedly encounter humans?"

"..."

"Lord."

"what happened?"

Sitting by the lake, Chen Xi's eyes were cast far away at Anya who was as active as the children under the tree. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth that never faded.

"Thanks……"

Before he could utter the next word, Chen Xi interrupted him by covering his mouth.

"That's enough, Jupiter. I've heard that word at least 300 times in the six days I've been here. You really don't need to start every sentence with it."

Reluctantly letting go, and pinching Jupiter's soft cheek, Chen Xi continued:

"Our Anya was also a demon spirit, and because of some things she became what she is now. So when she saw you, she wanted to do something. Not to make amends for what happened back then, but at least to prevent other tragedies from happening."

"So there's no need to thank me so much. After all, I helped you out of sheer desperation."

There was still some residual feeling of her face being pinched, and a layer of cherry red had already appeared on her cheeks. Unfortunately, Chen Xi, who had turned around, did not see it.

“But even so, the forest has indeed become better under your leadership.

It not only consolidated the dominance of our race, but also united the originally warring races, allocated suitable territories, and enabled them to give full play to their respective strengths.

Now we can eat better food and live in a better environment, all of this is because of the Lord's existence!"

Even after hearing such praise, Chen Xi just waved his hand to indicate that it was unnecessary.

"Even without me, you would have been able to slowly figure these things out. I just gave them a push from behind. I really didn't do anything remarkable."

That's why!

You are always so gentle, so humble, and so...it makes people feel touched.

How can anyone not fall in love with you.

Although he thought so, Jupiter actually took action. Suddenly, he hugged Chen Xi from behind.

"Lord..."

"what happened?"

As if it was no surprise, Chen Xi's calm words were carried by the wind, neither sad nor happy, making people incomprehensible.

"that……"

"I'm leaving."

"!"

He got ahead of the game and spoke the answer before Jupiter could say the next word.

"Are you...leaving?"
