Huh? Are they all real?.

"this one!"

The young girl could have asked for more.

He shook his head helplessly and then agreed:

"Okay, you're my friend now, but why this? You should have lots of friends here, shouldn't you?"

The girl tilted her head, looked at him, and smiled:

"Because you have no friends here!"

The girl's answer touched her heart more deeply than the piece of candy.

A young girl's emotions are far more delicate and nuanced than the sweetness of candy.

But that's far from all.

Because the girl continued to laugh:

"And you seem very lonely, like a child who can't find his home."

He was lonely, and he couldn't find his way home.

He was completely unaware of this.

"I don't know where you live, but I think I can make sure you're not so lonely!"

The girl's candy still tasted sweet in his mouth.

The girl's smile in the warm sunshine seemed to him even more dazzling, warm, and desirable than the sun itself.

Chapter 376 He's Back! (4k)

"Your Majesty? How are you?"

In Silis's soft call.

Moen, lost in his memories, finally snapped out of his reverie.

"It's nothing, I just remembered what happened when I met Ceresera."

After hearing what Moen said, Sirius hesitated for a moment and then said:

“Since you remember, Your Majesty, please allow me, on behalf of all the people of Twilight, to plead with you to return and see Her Majesty the Queen.”

Hillis said nothing more, nor did she ask any unnecessary questions.

For example, what exactly is Moen's situation, and why is he still Trajan?

Silis simply asked Moen to go back and see Her Majesty the Queen, doing what she was supposed to do.

That's what she should do and say; anything else is for the Queen to ask.

"Because Her Majesty the Queen has been waiting for you for far too long."

Moen had no way of refusing this request.

I never even considered refusing.

He really wanted to see Seresera, especially since the existence of the Holy Grail also worried Moen greatly.

So Moen immediately nodded and said:

"Yes, I will go to Seresera's place."

Before Moen could continue speaking, he noticed the pocket watch in his arms emitting a faint blue light.

Is this a departure?!

Where are you taking me this time?

Before the thought could even form, Moen vanished from the spot.

This left Sirius completely stunned.

But she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Because she remembered that before Moen disappeared, he said he would go to Seresera's place.

Clearly, this is why Moen went directly to the Queen!

Moen, who was talking to Sirius in the barracks just a moment ago, now found himself in a forest.

The forest was vast, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The forest is very old, full of century-old trees.

Moreover, this place gave Moen a strange sense of familiarity.

A thought suddenly popped into Moen's mind, and he couldn't help but take out his pocket watch and say:

"Did you send me to Seresera's? This time it's so nice?"

Moen was grateful to the pocket watch, but he really couldn't believe that the pocket watch would send him directly to Seresera just because it heard his voice.

After all, the pocket watch was always guiding him to where he should be.

From this perspective, does the pocket watch think I should come to Seresera's place?

No, it's not certain yet that this is the Lake of Twilight.

Moen, his thoughts still lingering, immediately headed upwards.

at the same time.

Everyone living on the mountaintop surrounded by water was surprised to find that not only was a thin mist rising from the lake, but the lakeside mansions, which usually only appeared in June, also came into view.

This was something they had never seen before.

So much so that people put down what they were doing and went out of their homes to the lakeside.

Some people had already knelt by the lake, offering prayers with their hands clasped together, while others were trying to figure out what had happened.

The only person they could ask was obviously the elderly man in charge of the church.

"Patriarch, what's wrong? Has Her Majesty the Queen said anything to you?"

"Patriarch, don't you know either?"

Seeing the crowd gathering around, the old man, who had also left the church out of confusion, didn't know how to answer either.

Because he received no revelation whatsoever.

Fortunately, people soon stopped surrounding him and asking him questions.

As more and more people with keen eyes saw it, the mansion that had been standing in the middle of the lake opened its tightly closed gates.

What this means is something almost everyone knows.

Her Majesty the Queen is coming out!

This caused the people gathered around the old man to immediately disperse and come to the lakeside, where they knelt down and worshipped facing the center of the lake.

In the past, when the verdant month of June arrived, Her Majesty the Queen would, as she does today, open the gates of the mansion, step out from the heart of the lake, and come to their side to witness and bless the newlyweds who had waited especially for June to prepare for their wedding.

Year after year, it has never changed.

Sure enough, during the people's worship, Queen Seresera stepped out of the mansion.

They looked ahead in disbelief, just as the others.

Then, she lowered her head slightly and placed her palm on her chest.

She had been looking forward to this day for so long, but when it finally arrived, she was somewhat timid and hesitant.

Because she was afraid that this would be yet another dashed hope.

But this time, the feeling was so real and intense.

So a moment later, everyone heard the Queen's voice filled with surprise:

"He is back!"

what? !

The people who were still devoutly worshipping looked up in surprise.

Who's back?

To everyone's astonishment, they saw the queen, who had always been so dignified and elegant in their eyes, suddenly lift her skirt and run forward:

"He's back!!!"

This time, the old man who had also knelt down with the people of the twilight finally realized what was happening.

"Your Majesty? Could it be that His Majesty has returned?!"

The crowd erupted in uproar.

Immediately followed by a grand cheer.

There's no mistake, His Majesty must have finally returned!

Otherwise, Her Majesty the Queen would not have acted this way.

The queen, who has endured this long, has finally regained her divine status!

Queen Seresera, on the other hand, had already run across the entire lake and headed straight down the mountain.

The cheering crowd naturally followed behind the Queen.

They were going together to welcome the return of the ancient gods.

The people of Dusk lived peacefully here for countless years.

No outsider ever disrupted their peaceful life, and it was all thanks to the Queen and the hermit Asclepius!

As Moen walked towards the mountaintop, he became more and more certain that this was the Land of Twilight!

He was all too familiar with it. It wasn't noticeable down below the mountain, but it was different up there. Even after so many years, those iconic landforms hadn't changed much.

So, I'm really back?

This is too fast and doesn't feel real at all!

Subtle thoughts began to take root and grow in Moen's heart.

The unprecedented smoothness made him feel a little unreal.

It made him feel like something was off.

However, all these subtle sensations vanished the moment he noticed the sunlight in front of him was blocked and looked up.

Because the queen, holding up her skirt, was standing in the radiance, staring at him in a daze!

Moen was also stunned and stood there.

After a long silence between them, Moen finally uttered her name:

"Celeshera?!"

As Moen called out the name, the Queen, who had been stunned upon seeing Moen, released her hands without a second thought.

She flew straight towards the lover she had been waiting for.

The emerald green skirt was stained with thick mud from the earth.

This was Seresera's favorite dress, because it was a gift from him to her at her wedding.

But now, she can't care about anything else.

Having endured this long, all she wanted was to quickly hold her one and only treasure.

She just wanted to confirm that real touch as soon as possible, lest she suddenly wake up from her bed and sadly discover that it was yet another dream that felt too real.

Fortunately, this time, she encountered no accidents as she rushed towards Moen.

She leaped into Moen's arms with unwavering resolve.

That warmth is genuine!

Because this temperature completely melted her heart.

"You're back! You're back! You're really back!"

Seresera, who had rushed into Moen's arms, was more like being caught and picked up by Moen than being caught by him.
