"Let's not talk about these topics anymore. Look over there."

Aurora looked in the direction Xingmo pointed and found a sweet iced tea shop right in front of the busy steam train station.

"Want to drink?" Xingmo smiled.

Aurora seemed to be going through a strong mental struggle before nodding.

“Drink…drink!”

Xingmo didn't ask any more questions. She took Aurora to the store to buy two cups of sweet iced tea and started drinking them.

This time, she carefully observed Aurora's state when she drank sweet iced tea: she really just stuck out her tongue after taking a sip, with a look of disgust on her face.

"If you don't like drinking, why do you want to drink?" Xing Mo asked directly.

You didn't say it before, but you should say it now, right?

Unexpectedly, Aurora shook her head:

"I'm afraid you'll laugh at me if I tell you."

"How dare I laugh at you..." Xing Mo said this subconsciously, and then suddenly realized that her status seemed to have improved a lot. "Then... I won't laugh at you, so tell me?"

Aurora lowered her head, her kitten-like profile still for a moment, as if she was struggling with something.

After a long while, she raised her head and whispered:

"Someone told me that if I feel anxious, I should eat or drink something sweet."

"It seems to be okay..." Xing Mo smiled after hearing that, but while smiling, her eyes suddenly froze.

The first time this little guy drank sweet iced tea... was before he took away the Cathedral of St. Auros, right?

In church...she also seemed to ask me to buy sweet iced tea...

It was because I was panicking at that time...

If you think about it, Aurora didn't have any real power at that time...

This stubborn and strong-willed little guy...

Xingmo smiled faintly, then poked Aurora's cheek:

"But if you don't like it, there's really no need to force yourself, okay?"

"It's not that I don't like it. I've gotten used to it," Aurora said after taking another sip. "We can have fun with the people! It's not like we'll gain weight anyway!"

It's true, it's amazing that I can eat a lot of desserts without gaining weight...

Xing Mo lowered his head, took out his pocket watch and took a look, and found that it was almost time.

"Let's go, it's time to go to the main square. The carnival is about to begin."

"Well, let's go~" Aurora threw the disposable cup into the trash can with great precision.

The two walked out of the steam station together and disappeared in the crowd.

......

1) Coffee Pudding (Part 3)

After taking a carriage from the steam station, Xingmo and Aurora soon arrived at the square in front of the Cathedral of St. Auros.

The square was already bustling with people, and various stalls were neatly arranged, offering free bread and wine.

In fact, it stands to reason that such activities would not be allowed to be held in front of the church.

However, after the "October Rain" incident, the "Star Sea Church"'s control over the North City District has become weaker than ever before, and it is unable to intervene at all.

Under the organization of the Holy Sisters Lilitz and Alice, the carnival finally started.

"..."

Xingmo and Aurora crossed the street and entered the square, blending into the carnival atmosphere.

There are many types of stalls, some of which are run by the young nuns and priests of the "Holy Tree Church", mainly providing free soup and bread.

Another part is opened by other believers at their own expense, which is a great display of supernatural powers.

There are stalls selling homemade amulets, handicrafts, and small stalls that help you take photos.

There was even a small orchestra playing sacred music, with many people surrounding them.

Wait... why does the lead singer of that band seem familiar?

Xing Mo took a closer look and discovered that the lead singer was actually Young Master Nobo Sunlight!

He was holding a book that looked like a holy book reverently and singing an ethereal melody.

As for the band members behind him... they are all students from the student union.

What a leisurely and elegant person... Xingmo listened silently for a while, then continued walking forward holding Aurora's hand.

As they walked, Xingmo lowered her head and glanced at Aurora. The little girl looked very excited, shaking her little head back and forth and looking around.

She looks very accomplished...

It's no wonder, after all, everyone present here believes in the "Tree of Life".

Even if those flowers and plants are probably still in their pots, at least they are getting more sunlight than before...

"Hey! Junior Xingsheng!"

Hearing the shouting, Xingmo turned around and found Alice's family calling her from a distance.

She quickly led Aurora through the crowd and came to the senior.

"Senior, are we going to start?"

"What a time to come," Alice smiled. "The speech is almost about to begin."

Well, actually the carnival is just a cover. What’s important is the speech that will be held at the carnival.

The "Holy Tree Cult" has been planning this for a while - using a speech to change the name of "St. Auros Cathedral"!

After all, the "Angel of the Blazing Sun" had died long ago, and Xing Mo had already taken away the "Spine of Saint Orros", which was a sacred object. From now on, there would be nothing to receive the faith of the people of North City in this fallen angel.

The simplest way is to use the previous events to change the name of the church!

"Then, come with me, Little Xingyu." Alice looked down at the smiling Aurora and frowned. "Be serious from now on, okay?"

"Okay~" Aurora smiled.

Seeing this scene, Xing Mo suddenly couldn't help laughing - the senior sister was brought into the church, but now she is working so seriously.

She didn't believe in Aurora.

As if she understood what was in Xingmo's eyes, Alice poked her cheek.

"Ouch, what are you doing?" Xing Mo dodged with a smile.

"I just wanted to poke you," Alice stuck out her tongue. "Okay, you and Vivian, go sit over there for a while and wait for the show."

Xing Mo nodded, gave Aurora a thumbs up, and then followed Senior Vivian to the sweet shop nearby.

On the way, Weiweian looked back at Xingmo, and then said lightly:

"Going to Wintershire soon?"

"Oh, yes." Xingmo nodded.

"It's the coldest time of year there," Vivian muttered. "It's dangerous to lose heat. Be careful not to freeze to death."

It's truly a dragon-specific expression.

Xing Mo scratched his head and smiled:

"Be sure to wear more clothes, haha..."

"Hmph, so playful," Vivian said in a small voice, "Do you know why Alice is doing all this, and why she's taking it so seriously?"

Without waiting for Xing Mo to answer, she said to herself:

"It's all because of you, Xiaomo, who makes me worry. When you disappeared, I heard her crying in her quilt late at night..."

"Now that you're back, of course she'll want to do everything in her power to protect you..."

After Vivian's words, the smile on Xingmo's face faded, and something warm seemed to spread in her heart.

"Of course I know." Xing Mo nodded slightly.

She told Senior Alice about what happened that night in the "Star Debris" - she saw Miriam return again, and lost her again.

As she said those words, Alice was holding Xingmo's hand, and the grip was getting tighter and tighter. Although it was not painful, it made people feel a heart-wrenching urgency.

Yes... Giving this kind of speech in front of the church is equivalent to making trouble for the Xinghai Church...

The relationship between the Puxit family and the church used to be very good, but now, I'm afraid it will become more and more distant...

Alice-senpai is protecting me... She doesn't want to lose me again, nor does she want to lose anyone else...

Xing Mo silently clenched his fists and said seriously:

"I will definitely not let Senior worry."

Vivian looked back, her ice-blue eyes half filled with her usual indifference and half with curiosity, as if she was sizing up a little squirrel.

She suddenly smiled, patted Xingmo's shoulder and said:

"Don't worry~ I'm not jealous of you~ I'm just pretending to be spoiled with Alice~ I won't really get along with you~"

The only thing I don’t believe is this...Xing Mo smiled brightly and nodded quickly.

At this time, the two had arrived next to the sweet soup stall. Alice's three sisters were each holding a cup of sweet soup and shouting something with the housekeeper beside them.

"What's wrong? Sheila, Leah, Mia?" Vivian came forward and asked.

"We want to go see the band over there perform!" Mia stood on tiptoe, her arms dangling.

"The eldest lady ordered that the young ladies not be allowed to run around," the housekeeper said with some embarrassment. "She said that today's situation might be different from usual, so..."

"It's okay, I'll take them there," Vivian waved to the housekeeper, "Don't worry, no one will dare to act rashly."

As she spoke, Vivian raised her head and whistled towards the sky.

The next second, a giant ice-blue dragon tore through the clouds, descended from the sky, and circled above the square.

The people in the square raised their heads, attracted by the sound of the dragon's wings flapping the air. Some cheered excitedly, while others looked terrified.

"The Xinghai Church wouldn't dare to do anything. Alice is too sensitive..."

Weiweian glanced at Xingmo reproachfully:

"Okay, I'm going to take the kids to listen to some music. You can sit here for a while."

After saying that, she led the three chattering little guys and walked away.

As they were walking, Xing Mo heard some little fellow suddenly ask:

"Sister Vivian, why did your face turn so red when Sister Alice kissed you?"

"...That's...that's because...it's too hot..."

"That's not right. The book says that girls blush after being kissed because... it's because of... "

"Be careful or I'll report you to Alice for hiding the little book!"

"..."

Xingmo smiled warmly and sighed that this atmosphere was really great.

She ordered a glass of sugar water and quietly whiled away the time.

Soon, the time came to noon. With a series of ringing bells, Xing Mo turned his eyes to the church door not far away.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and it was the time of the "Angel of the Sun". Everyone's eyes were immediately focused on the group of people talking at the door, and many people could not wait any longer.

After all, they had not been to church to pray for a long time, and the North City was the land that needed faith the most.

"Cough cough..."

Aurora walked forward with the sound of small leather shoes, followed by Alice.

Beside them, Holy Sisters Lilitz and Alia were escorting them on the left and right. They were holding magic wands and waving them in the air, emitting brilliant light.
