Reincarnation Band Magician

There is still one day left until the status is lifted.

Only she knows how she feels now.

……

That night, when Qing was washing Fulilian's feet, he noticed that she had become somewhat active and even seemed to be resisting. Could it be...

Nagasaki Kiyoshi began to think, stroking his nails.

——Is this a way of expressing intimacy after getting to know each other?

When Clara was still young and ignorant, she would kick around like this when I was giving her a bath.

Maybe it's just the behavior of children playing.

[That must be the case.]

As expected of Lady Fulilian, after becoming a child, she seems much more mature and sensible.

So Qing played with her for a while, such as holding her in his arms and rocking her gently, using magic to levitate her, and playing hide-and-seek with her in the bed...

Sure enough, the resistance soon stopped.

So sensible.

"Xiang, why don't you come together? You used to like Clara very much, right?"

Xiangzi turned his back to his teammates, prying at the campfire, and said calmly: "If Clara were a thousand years old, I wouldn't play with her like this."

"Xiang is always serious."

"No, I think Qing is hard to understand in a strange way."

Tonight was as peaceful as last night, except that Fulilian seemed a little active. I guess she didn't get enough exercise today and was too energetic, so she always wanted to run to the other side.

She kept moving around, so Qing had to hug her through the quilt to calm her down.

……

And so, another day passed.

The fourth day of Fulilian's dementia.

In the morning, Qing, who was on night watch, heard some noise behind him while preparing breakfast.

"Good morning, Xiang."

"it's me."

Her voice was a little cold, perhaps because I hadn't heard her speak seriously for three days. She seemed a little different, with a faint sense of fatigue.

It may be that it howls for a few days, and then whimpers a few times every once in a while, which also requires some effort.

Qing turned around in surprise, "Fulilian...you're up so early?"

“Is this something worthy of attention?”

"Of course, it's truly memorable."

Qing said this, took out his notebook and wrote down the fact that Fulilian got up early today.

"Are you okay with your health?"

"What does that mean?"

"It's nothing. I just thought you'd been crying for three days. The elves' physique is really impressive."

Fulilian avoided Qing and sat aside to wash herself with the water. "If you mess with me again next time, I will cry for seven days."

"Seven days..."

"Forget it," the elf suddenly changed his tone, "I'd better punish you somewhere else. This behavior is a bit unreasonable."

"That's right."

"But it's all Qing Hexiang's fault. As compensation, I ask that every day from now on..."

She proposed late wake-ups, feedings, desserts, and most importantly, absolute decision-making power.

Everyone agreed except the last one.

It's not that they don't trust each other, but they always have huge differences in decision-making. Fulilian, who has lived for a long time, has a subconscious decision-making method that is path-dependent, which is to retreat and practice for a few years or decades before coming back.

So there would be a small dispute every time, and finally Ms. Frillian began to seriously think about countermeasures.

This elf has a personality that cannot be compromised without being forced, so the decision-making process cannot be compromised.

"Okay, that's it."

Unexpectedly, Fulilian agreed without hesitation.

[Recalling the spell that forced sleep, at the critical moment...]

Qing looked at her suspiciously. "Does Lady Fulilian know any magic like hypnosis or forced fainting, ready to use when necessary?"

"How, how could that be?"

She gave a very understandable, yet not honest expression.

In short, we reached a consensus first and Qing decided to remain vigilant.

"Well, to apologize to Fulilian, let's eat the food we brought from the city for breakfast today."

"Uh-huh."

The elf's mood improved.

Qing threw Shuijing's food into the hot water and patted his thigh.

"Come here, comb your hair and brush your teeth."

"Ugh."

Fulilian walked over as usual and lay down.

After completing this action, her whole body stiffened.

Fortunately, Qing didn't care.

[Have you made caring for others a habit? Qing, you...]

"Good morning, Flillian, she's up... Still not okay today?"

Xiangzi opened the door and came out, grabbing his fluffy hair and preparing to ask his friend for help. He saw the same elf lying on Qing's legs as the previous two days, and couldn't help but sigh.

"All right."

"It's actually healed?"

Okay, you're still lying there?

Fulilian then repeated her request and Xiangzi began to bargain.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter to Xiang. Qing has already agreed."

"Qing? You're just spoiling her like this?"

"Sorry, ahaha..."

Golden Journey: 159, The Journey Continues

The crystal cabin dissolves and the journey continues.

Xiang was quite dissatisfied with Qing's spoiled behavior - no, it was more than just "complaints", she bluntly expressed that this was not acceptable.

"Never again will I entrust my child's education to Qing!"

Ms. Toyokawa ended the discussion with this sentence, crossed her arms angrily, and took out her clarinet to express her dissatisfaction.

It sounds terrible.

The mood of "Kikujiro's Summer" has changed to "Kikujiro's Lost Summer".

Qing really wanted to ask him about his future child, "Why are you so angry? You're not going to have one."

But I felt that saying this would sound a bit harassing, so I held it back.

After finishing the song, Xiangzi realized that there was something wrong with what he had just said and coughed a few times.

"Anyway, it's all Lady Fulilian's fault."

The elf scratched his face. "It's actually a honorific. Why?"

"Crying for three days and three nights is too willful!"

"I'm sorry, I now deeply realize my mistake."

It was really very profound. That day, Fulilian felt the length of time for the first time. She was taken care of and kneaded like a child. Her efforts to muster up the courage to resist were also regarded as cooperation.

Qing actually did those things without any reaction.

[It's so terrifying... Clear, so frightening.]

Xiangzi was very puzzled that Fulilian had given in so quickly and was unable to utter any criticism. He breathed a sigh of relief and began to organize his inspiration during this period and compose music.

……

About another half a month passed.

They have begun to feel the uneven terrain, and the special climate of the plateau sometimes makes them feel uncomfortable, but most of the time their physical constitutions are such that they don't care.

The most obvious change was in the types of vegetation, which was completely different from the southern style, and it had been a long time since the three of them had been there.

Looking into the distance in some open places, you feel as if you are standing on the shoulders of giants. In places with higher elevations, the variety of plants is so rich that an ordinary person would probably never be able to fully appreciate it even if he spends his entire life.

It is touching to see that there is still snow in some areas this season.

By the way, after arriving at our current location, the temperature is still a bit cold in the morning and evening, and we can only take off our scarves and cotton jackets at noon.

It was another night, and several people looked up at the stars.

The starry sky on the plateau is always very beautiful, as if it is about to hang down, even more beautiful than the day when the two aliens arrived.

“This may be the most enjoyable trip I have ever taken.”

Ms. Fulilian, whose surname was Fu, squatted in front of the fire and stretched out her hands to warm it. The crystal pot hanging above reflected the red color of the fire, and the crystal dishes floated up and down in the hot water.

After it was fished out and freed from crystallization, the sealed fragrance spread out.

Then briefly blanch the crystal bread and cut it into pieces.

"Where are we now?"

"Rand area."

"Is it that far already?"

Qing took out the map and compared it.

The seaside where they lived before was located on the map, not far northwest of here, near the mouth of the Thor Valley.

Monsters are constantly appearing in that ocean. No wonder the shipyards there were abandoned. If the ships built there cannot sail over land to cross the plateau, they will have to go north to cross the ocean surrounded by monsters, or go south to circle the continent to the east.

Either way, it's a test of imagination.

After comparing the locations, they realized that at their current speed of stopping and starting, and flying from time to time, it would take them a week or two to arrive.

Even if you use flying magic at full speed, it will take four or five days and will exhaust your magic power.

That's not very smart to do in the North.

They weren't planning on going.

Ms. Toyokawa's fingers brushed across a certain spot on the map. She missed the past a little, but she definitely didn't miss that demon.

"Has Flillian ever been to the North before?"

"you guess."

Qing chuckled and leaned closer to Xiang, "Volamei was the great magician of the empire. The imperial capital used to be in the north."

So strictly speaking, this trip can be considered as Fulilian's return home.

"Xiang, you can also read some 'leisure books' like the History of Magic when you have free time."
