Anime, starting from Re:Zero (Zero - Starting Life)

Luo Kali still held her daughter's hand reluctantly and sat together, while Luo Yin sat not far away, watching this scene with a satisfied smile on his face.

Luo Qixi sniffed, wiped her still red eyes, reached out to reheat the tea in the teapot until steam rose, took a sip of the cold tea, then lowered her head slightly and embarrassedly said everything she wanted to say to her parents:

"Sorry, Mom and Dad."

"Your daughter is actually a fool who likes to dwell on trivial matters."

"When I was planning my escape, I gave myself many excuses. I wanted to see more scenery, learn more advanced magic, gain freedom, and most importantly, I wanted to stop being a burden to you."

"But these are both real and false. They all come from my true feelings, but they are also tainted by me, used as a shield to cover up my escapist and rebellious nature."

Luo Qixi smiled with relief.

That is the understanding and helplessness towards my past self.

"Because there is no sound here, I left the village to seek a world with sound."

"Because I don't like the voices from the outside world about me, I seek power or status to block those voices out."

"I started out wanting to be just one of the ordinary people, but ended up not being able to handle being treated as an ordinary person."

"I want to be different again, but I can't accept my youthful appearance and demon bloodline."

“I always want something, but I only want the good part of both sides and I don’t want to accept the negative side.”

“I feel like I’m always moving forward.”

"But in reality, I'm just resisting everything that doesn't suit my heart, migrating to the next realm that carries my new fantasy. This is probably rebellion, right?"

"It's like I've been living under the words of others."

"It's like fighting against the judgments that I'm unhappy with."

"I'm always throwing tantrums. I'm clearly childish, but I'm obsessed with proving that I'm grown up."

"It's because of such a stupid reason."

"I've only been away from home for so many years, and I'm still so stubborn that I don't want to come back. Even when I first saw the mute child in the outside world, I already knew how to survive, how lucky and happy I was, and how much you, Mom and Dad, loved and cared about me."

"But I still dare not admit it. I dare not admit that your pain is due to your self-blame, not that my existence itself is a disaster. I dare not admit that I don't want to go home because I don't have the courage to face this village."

"Sorry, Mom and Dad."

"Your daughter is a coward."

Luo Qixi clenched her fists, lowered her head, and tears fell again.

She had always known who she was, of course, but she just couldn't admit it! Just like many people feel they can't survive without fighting, she had always felt that if she admitted she wasn't good enough, she would be completely finished and unable to move forward.

What on earth am I thinking about...

Luo Kali and Luo Yin just sat on both sides of Luo Qixi, comforting her as they did in the past:

"It's okay, huh?"

"Mom and Dad both know that Luo Qixi has grown up, changed, and has become a very remarkable person."

"Even if it's not like this, mom and dad will still love you, miss you, and bless you as before."

“Because we are family.”

They were together happily again like before.

But this time, there will be no more pain and bitterness, no more alienation and loneliness, and no more depressing dark clouds hanging over my heart.

Luo Qixi was reunited with her family.

Chapter 37 Too Heavy

After calming down, the parents and children finally started chatting about their experiences over the years.

Luo Qixi opened her mouth so wide that a duck egg could almost be stuffed in it:

"Wait! Dad! When did you say Gawain first came to the village?"

Luo Yin held the teacup, tilted his head and repeated in confusion:

"April 4th of last year. Is there something wrong with this date? I think I'm remembering it correctly. Gawain specifically asked me to remember it and pass it on to you."

Luo Kali chuckled and patted Luo Yin:

"You're not mistaken. I'm remembering it for you too."

Luo Qixi couldn't help but laugh dryly.

She leaned back in the chair, letting the lining absorb the cold sweat that had just appeared. She was extremely restless, her smile was frozen on her face, and the corners of her mouth were almost cramping. If she hadn't been trying hard to control herself, Luo Qixi felt that her forehead would have been sweating profusely.

“No…no problem…”

She screamed in her heart:

April 4th!!! April 4th!!! Isn’t that the day I just left the village? To be more precise, I didn’t arrive in Roya City until evening that day, right?

Gawain!!! Surprisingly!!!

This is lunch at my house!!!

I always have lunch in the carriage!!!

One hour? Two hours? Three or four hours? Flying from Buena Village to Migrud Village?

Luo Qixi's brain has completely shut down.

I can't even count them.

She only knew that even if she crossed the ocean and moved in a straight line, the speed would be too terrifying for her to imagine.

Even if she used all her magic power to accelerate, she wouldn't be able to do that. But how did Gawain do it? With Rudy? But Rudy had never come once, right?

No...No no no!!!

Speed ​​is not the point at all!!!

Gao Wen, don’t you think it’s terrible what you did?

I just said goodbye and said I was going home, and you flew straight to my house to visit me. Is this really in line with the social etiquette of human society? Is this really not an act of intimidation? You even asked your parents to tell me the date of your arrival? Are you a naughty boy? When did you become so fond of playing pranks? Do you really still see me as your teacher? Do you really regard me as your teacher? I have been worrying about your mood and thoughts all the time. It is simply inappropriate! Why did I write you two such long letters? Gawain, you bastard, you are ten times, not a hundred times, more of an bastard than when we first met! If Gawain is used as a unit to measure the degree of bastardness, then there must be no one in this world with more than one unit, right? I swear that from today, not from this moment, this second, I will never worry about you or miss you for even a second! Even if I know that you don’t welcome me, hate me, and don’t want me to return to Buena Village, I will never feel sad and want to die again! No matter what achievements you make in the future or whether you are willing to admit that I am your teacher, I will never care! No matter what kind of pain and torture you encounter in the future, I will only laugh at you secretly. I will never feel sorry for you or want to help and protect you again!

Just as Luo Qixi was devastated and muttering to herself.

Luo Yin suddenly stood up and said with a smile:

"Come to think of it, I almost forgot that Gawain still has the letter and return gift he left for you at home."

He took out a stack of letters from a nearby cabinet, walked back and handed them to the cold-looking Luo Qixi, and explained:

"As for the gift, if it's a little big, I'll move it to you right away."

Luo Qixi didn't hear clearly, but just stared blankly at the envelope in her hand:

January 4, 414 in the Jialong calendar.

January 24, 414 in the Jialong calendar.

January 15, 414 in the Jialong calendar.

January 27, 414 in the Jialong calendar.

January 21, 415 in the Jialong calendar.

She couldn't help but ask:

"Where are the letters from the past six months?"

Lokali, who was sitting next to Lokixi, was puzzled:

"These are the five letters, huh? Little Gawain hasn't come since that time in March, but it's only been a few months, so that's normal. Luo Qixi, just wait at home for a few months and he'll definitely come again."

Wait...wait for him? Who would wait for that traitor?

Luo Qixi decided to leave the village early to avoid being caught by that petty brat.

At this time, Luo Yin struggled to move a huge iron box and introduced:

"Inside are all the things he left for you. They're not just gifts, there are a lot of things that are said to be yours. He said you'll understand once you see them. We don't understand what they are either."

Luo Qixi felt a little heavy.

It's not the mood, but the image of Gawain.

There must be something wrong with this kid. My gratitude is almost gone!

It's over. I'm going to become a useless complainer a hundred thousand times more powerful.

Luo Qixi opened the earliest letter with a wry smile.

April 4, 414 AD: Gawain apologizes to her, praises her mother, criticizes the giant tortoise stew she claimed was delicious as slop, and finally says he has accepted the reality of graduation.

I'm sorry, Mr. Gawain, I don't see where you accepted it.

September 24, 414th year of the Ankylosaur calendar: Gawain said that he did not believe in evil and came to get some giant tortoise meat to ask a famous chef in Roya to try to cook it. He told her what had happened in recent months. Not only he and Sylphy, but also Rudy had moved to Roya. The peaceful life in Buena Village was over.

Stupid Gawain, Lolz and Debbie are obviously saying this to protect you, right? But I seem to be a bit of a fool too.

October 15, 414 of the Jialong calendar: Gawain introduced a lot of things he brought to the village, and as usual, he analyzed in an objective and orderly manner how to use and benefit the village, and how to change the village into a better place that she could like.

I'm sorry, Mr. Gawain, I misunderstood you a minute ago, and thank you Sylphy for your help.

December 27, 414 of the Jialong calendar: This is a serious reply letter. In addition to the reply part, it also contains a lot of changes that Gawain saw and rumors he heard along her journey, as well as a lot of compliments, and also mentioned some gifts.

Please, Mr. Gawain, please don't talk about such shameful experiences to the person involved. What kind of a name is Young Dragon Princess [Ink Wind King]?

March 21, 415 of the Jialong calendar: This is a brief letter. Apart from the general situation of everyone in the past few months, it only mentions things related to the gift or "this one for Teacher Luo Qixi".

Okay, it’s “Roxy”, there’s no “teacher”, stupid Gawain, do you know how to respect your teachers?

How can I keep all these letters if my tears are all over the place? My eyes must be hurt if I cry so many times a day, right? This teacher who praised my beautiful eyes is still torturing herself like this!

With her mother soothing her head, Luo Qixi burst into laughter.

I kind of miss seeing you all.

Gao Wen, can you come to visit me tomorrow?

Note 1: People are always good at mediating. When Luo Qixi knows that she is now called the pedophile immortal sage, she will not mind that she was called the young dragon princess before.

Note 2:

First Letter - Volume 1, Chapter 53

Second Letter—Volume 2, Chapter 12

Third Letter - After Chapter 12 of Volume 2 (No Description)

Letter 4—Volume 2, Chapters 17-19

Fifth Letter - After Chapter 22 of Volume 2 (No Description)

Chapter 38 Revenge

Then, it's time to unpack.

Luo Qixi could tell at a glance that the iron box was made by Gawain using magic, just like she could tell at first glance that almost all the new furniture in her home was made by Gawain.

It's just that she doesn't want to admit it.

This is an old problem, and I don’t know when it can be cured.

"Mom and Dad, there's no need to avoid us, okay? Let's watch it together."

Lokisi used Gawain's Great Disintegration Technique to dismantle the iron box without any openings or gaps, and greeted her parents who were huddled together to hide.

As expected of Gao Wen's things, the inside of the iron box is also filled with storage spaces, arranged in an orderly manner.

Luo Qixi took out the boxes one by one according to the time engraved on the outside of each box.

The first one comes from September 24, 414 in the Jialong calendar:

There are ten round silver pendants. According to the accompanying instructions, this is a small toy that only has the [Repulsion Field] magic circle solidified. The magic crystals inside can be activated ten times and will be scrapped after that. It is left for Luo Qixi to give to relatives and friends in the Demon Continent.
