Chapter 2788: Banquet and Walk

~10 min read 1,882 words

In addition to the great witches, the witch apprentices and followers also attended this banquet, and the girls in the banquet hall at this time all pricked up their ears more or less.

Not to mention Miss Aurora and Vanessa who were deliberately looking for fun, even Cassandra was happily watching with Miss Swift who was a little nervous.

But unexpectedly, the gray-black-haired witch was stunned, but immediately replied:

"Galina, you don't have to come to thank me specially. If you want to thank me for taking care of Xia De, Miss Luvia Anate has already said it to me once just now."

Everyone tried their best to hold back their laughter, even Luvia, who was holding a wine glass on the other side of Xia De, was like this. She blinked at Galina apologetically, but the Duchess had no time to respond to the divination lady at this time.

She frowned slightly, but still maintained a relaxed tone when speaking:

"Flora, I didn't have time to ask you last time at Love Lake, but you should still remember what you said to me in the council after you discovered Xia De locally, right?"

Galina also found that other witches and girls seemed to be eavesdropping, so she lowered her voice a little, but this was useless.

Flora shook her head:

"What did I say?"

"You said—you suspect I want to snatch someone? Are you looking down on me too much, Galina? (Chapter 2574)"

For this moment, the Duchess had firmly remembered this sentence for more than a month, so when she said it, even the tone was like Flora Winster at that time.

And the great witch of Death who was imitated turned her head slightly to the side, but actually her face was slightly red:

"Humph, Galina, you are really boring."

The Duchess was not really wanting to blame her, and was satisfied when she saw her reaction:

"Just say whether this is something you said yourself?"

"...... Yes."

Galina Cavendish's face bloomed with a smile like a flower, and she nodded lightly:

"This is not boring at all, I feel this is very interesting, and it is very interesting every time... Xivi, you saw it over there, do you also feel it is very interesting?"

So Miss Aurora turned around and pretended to talk to Miss Eilisse, not paying attention to her at all.

"Alright, alright."

Xia De took the initiative to speak, preventing this conversation from becoming more excessive:

"It is really thanks to Flora's help in Vista Forest during this time. Not to mention the help of various communications, just saying that when we went to the desolate village for the first time not long ago, if it weren't for her spellcasting help, I would probably have been very difficult to escape from that village."

"Got it, I'm not blaming anyone. If you keep saying this, I will become a bad person."

The Duchess reached out and called the maid, signaling Flora to pick up a wine glass:

"Come on, let's have a drink together. You should understand, I'm just unhappy that you snatched my person. Although compared to Luvia, I am also a latecomer, but in short, I am unhappy."

The great witch of Death naturally knew this, so she and the two clinked glasses under Luvia's gaze, and then each took a sip of wine.

I don't know if it was because of the alcohol or because she finally didn't have to be "blamed" by Galina, Flora, who considered herself to have no moral burden, held Luvia's hand and said:

"Continue to tell me about Xia De's past. I am really curious, was he really the kind of person who would blush and speak incoherently when standing close to girls before? It's really not visible. Tell me quickly, how did you turn him into what he is now?"

Galina gave Xia De a wink on the side, and Xia De kept his face straight and didn't speak.

He looked at the girls in dresses in the banquet hall. When the girls he liked and who missed him met his eyes, they would shyly smile or blink. The outlander felt that he didn't regret such a change.

This was just like, he no longer doubted why he came to this world.

Emilia was soon brought over by Miss Danister. The young elf girl who came with luggage didn't expect to attend a banquet. She hesitated at the door wanting to change clothes first, and then was pulled away by Angelina who had a cat on her head:

"Emilia, long time no see, how have you been recently?"

"Angelina~ It's really great to see you again. I've been doing very well, it's just that there are a lot of assignments for the autumn semester... Why are you talking to me with a cat on your head?"

"Didn't little Liana come?"

Seeing the red-haired girl walking over, Xia De asked curiously. Miss Danister shook her head:

"She came, but the unicorn is not convenient to be raised directly in the hotel, so tomorrow she will come to Vista Forest with the academy's team. At that time, I will go directly to bring her and put her on your ship."

"No need to put it on the ship."

Xia De looked up at Angelina who was excitedly talking to Emilia. The two "peers" now had endless words to say:

"Tomorrow morning I plan to take Emilia to see the elf girl in the forest, and take little Liana with me at that time. If possible, leave little Liana at the tree house. I just don't know if those Chocobos will like her."

Luvia, who was holding a goblet on the side, raised her eyebrows. She was wearing a purple dress tonight, and her temperament was completely different from Miss Feliana who also liked purple very much:

"Is it so urgent? In my opinion, you are preparing for Emilia to open the qualification to go to the past."

"Can't wait any longer. Although there is no sign yet. But just like everyone knows that midwinter is coming, I can feel that the situation in Vista Forest is becoming worse.

The stability of time and the ancient rituals based on the forest can no longer bind the evil that came here from the distant past. The tree holes we have mastered only clarify the basic principles of time travel and only touch the tip of the iceberg of the local stories.

Next is the decisive battle. Emilia should be prepared for this."

Miss Danister also looked at the elf girl who was excitedly talking to the little princess in the distance:

"This burden is still a bit too heavy for her after all."

Xia De no longer had such worries:

"She said herself that she would take on such responsibility, and she was also prepared for it. And I have already promised her that I will not force her to become someone she doesn't want to be, and I will always be by her side."

The banquet that night did not last too late. After all, Megan, Audrey, Sister Daelin, Miss Belindell, and Miss Sylvia had not come yet, so it was not everyone present at this time.

After the banquet, Flora and Miss Danister, who were originally in the hotel, naturally would not leave. Besides them, the 13th-tier Vanessa personally led people to stay to prevent accidents.

And Luvia, Cassandra, Miss Aurora, and Galina returned to the ship. As the "Radiant Messenger" which was the base camp this time, as long as Miss Eilisse was there, there was actually no need to worry about problems.

And Angelina and Emilia were also going to return to the ship. Xia De planned to take Emilia into the forest from the lake tomorrow morning, which would be slightly closer.

However, seeing that it was still early, when everyone was saying goodbye at the hotel, Xia De suddenly said:

"Luvia, don't leave yet, go for a walk in the city with me."

Everyone showed a smile, but no one said anything more. Only Little Mia looked at Xia De pitifully while shrinking on the little princess's head. Xia De had to say to Dorothy:

"After arriving at the ship in a while, prepare some midnight snacks for Little Mia. It will be hard for it these days."

"Meow~"

"Kitty be good, I will take care of you."

Angelina also said so, but obviously Little Mia didn't like Angelina very much, but finally it followed Angelina very obediently.

"Yi Yi Yi Lu Na has also arrived locally, right?"

The area of Vista City is not large, but the air quality here is very good. Even at the time of full city heating in late autumn and early winter, the starry sky at night is still bright.

Starting from the Accordion Hotel, Xia De and Luvia, who was wearing a red scarf, walked side by side toward the Golden Music Hall. The night wind blew the fallen leaves by their feet, and the halo of the street lamps illuminated two figures sticking close together.

In the distance was the music hall where the lights were on all night, and the side tower of the music hall was the local clock tower.

Luvia had changed out of the dress just now at the hotel. At this time, the plaid dress looked not abrupt in the night.

Walking a few steps forward with Xia De to confirm that the witches had left, she took Xia De's arm, which gave her a sense of peace of mind that Xia De would not fly away:

"Counting the time, Yi Yi Yi Lu Na should have arrived, but she has no time to find us for the time being. Listening to what she said before leaving, the church has prepared many means to deal with 'Paradox Worms' this time, and she also has to learn some new miracle and ritual knowledge."

She looked at the music hall emitting bright yellow light not far ahead:

"It's really a peaceful town. If it weren't for the stories you brought back, who would know how many stories are hidden beneath this peace? The Kamin family with chaotic family relationships, Bront who deceived death for longevity, Kant who cooperated with demons to cause chaos in Karsenrik, these stories seem independent but are intertwined.

Sometimes I think, if it weren't for you coming here but others coming here, how would these stories be solved?"

Xia De knew that if Luvia came here, she would probably kill all these people... Of course, he wouldn't say such things:

"I invited you out for a walk, not for you to praise me."

Purple eyes looked at him with a smile:

"But I just like to praise you."

After finishing, she looked back and forth, and then kissed Xia De on the side of the face on the street. Xia De covered his face and laughed, feeling that the scenery tonight was quite good:

"After you go back, have a good rest. Tomorrow I will take Emilia back from the forest, and then you can use the two coins we have left to divine what the chairs Xia De and the doctor saw in the forest represent." ===== CHAPTER 2789 =====
