Chapter 4137: Picnic in Oakham Park

Ever since Angelina arrived in Arcadia City on Wednesday afternoon, Xia De felt as if he hadn't rested at all. From going to the Charming Ladies' Club with Vigo last night until now, only thirteen hours had passed, and the things that happened in these short thirteen hours were enough to make Xia De feel mentally exhausted.

The "big trouble," which was that crystal ball, was thrown to Principal Pigman. Since the relic was successfully contained, Xia De didn't bother with the subsequent matters. But he didn't have time to rest. Because Miss Feilian had assisted him in the battle just now, the time she could maintain her consciousness was running out.

Declining the invitation from Ms. Eden, the "Sun Emblem," and Mr. Brooklyn, the "Hand of Radiance," Xia De and the girls withdrew from the lake and soon merged into the bustling crowd in the park and disappeared.

The ring-mages of the Church and the Academy continued to deal with the aftermath of the incident. Although the relic itself was contained, there were still many traces in the entire artificial lake that needed to be investigated and dealt with. Everyone suspected that the big event that the 【Prophet Association】 divined would happen during the Expo was this.

As for the two noble girls from 600 years ago that Xia De saved by signing an agreement on the second floor of the hall, they had already been discovered by the Church at this time. The Church would investigate and deal with their identities.

However, at least the area around the artificial lake had been reopened. Tourists were just not allowed to enter the lake.

The sun was just right. On the edge of the lawn on the east side of Oakham Park, which had returned to normal order, under the sycamore tree, Xia De, sitting on a thick wool picnic blanket with alternating dark red and dark green, officially introduced Miss Doll, whom he held in his palm, to the girls.

At this time, except for Flora, Bella, and Siris who were guarding the Fragrant Mansion, everyone was here. Of course, Danister originally wanted to stay by the lake to guard the crystal ball, but after seeing Xia De's signal, she followed. As for Yiluna, she left the lakeside directly after the sealing was completed. Except for Ms. Eden and a few ring-mages who entered the 【Skin-Object Hall】, no one saw her appear here.

Ordinary people visiting the park didn't know what had just happened. The May sun was cut into fine pieces by the canopy of the sycamore tree above the picnic blanket, sprinkling like gold foil on the lawn of this park. There were three or four groups of noble families and young students picnicking and playing on the lawn, and Xia De's group under the tree was no different from others except for having more people.

Winnie, Tifa, Miss Eilesser, and Miss MacDonald were working with the maid ladies to place the multi-layered mahogany silver-inlaid picnic basket on the blanket and open it. Ellie had already obtained the apple she wanted. She was leaning against Xia De at this time, her movements lazy but unusually natural. Yiluna looked at Ellie, not knowing what she was thinking.

Luvia, Danister, Miss Jia Lin Na, Shivi, Claire, Vanessa, and Vigo were all listening carefully to the story Xia De told in the rustling sound of the treetops above, and time seemed to be accompanying his story.

The action at the Skin-Object Hall made him and Vigo see too many disgusting things, and Xia De didn't tell the experiences that challenged the bottom line of humanity; the final adventure in the Stained Blood Factory was full of accidents. The experience of the group meeting a god, knowing the sacrifices and sacrifices of generations of adventurers, and hiding in a coffin to pass through death and life made the girls exclaim again and again.

Under the fine sunlight, Tifa, wearing a maid dress, looked more elegant and beautiful than usual. She listened to Xia De's narration with a smile while working, and knelt beside Xia De, placing cold venison, cucumber sandwiches, raisin scones, strawberry tarts, and other snacks in order, and then poured tea for Xia De, Yiluna, and Ellie.

"I won't need any."

Seeing the maid, whose figure was very good, looking at herself, Miss Doll, held by Xia De, waved her hand. Tifa showed an apologetic expression, and the cat huddled on Xia De's lap flicked its tail. It liked this warm wind and comfortable environment very much.

On the lake in the distance, boats of various colors floated quietly, and light, slow waltz music from a band came from the exhibition hall on the north side of the artificial lake. Although the park's human voices were noisy, they were not harsh at all. The wind swept across the treetops, and a rain of petals blew from somewhere, falling on the girls' lace skirts, silver forks, and opened poetry books.

That poetry book was turned upside down on the picnic blanket. This was the "Summer Night Collection" that Leixia had just opened.

Except for Sister Daifulin, Grace, and Helen who did not participate in this picnic, everyone who participated in this action was enjoying the relaxation after the event. Miss Jia Lin Na leaned halfway in the tree shadow as if dozing off, Yiluna sat beside her and looked up at the flower rain, Shivi and Vanessa had a chessboard between them, Claire took the teacup handed by Winnie, and Vigo wiped the old scissors in her hand with a handkerchief.

Luvia, Leixia, and Dorothy sat together, with their backs to Xia De, who was telling the story, as if looking at the scenery in the spring park. Ellie was focused on eating delicious apples. It seemed that only Danister was listening seriously. After Xia De briefly recounted his adventure experience today, she summarized:

"So, you want Miss Feilian to persuade me to agree to send the teacher to a past point in time?"

She saw through Xia De's idea. Xia De was of course thinking this. His story had been told, and Miss Doll, held in his palm, said:

"Actually, Xia De's idea is quite good. In my era, there were both "Book of Dragons: Breeding and Growth" and baby-rearing dragon maids who were good at taking care of dragon eggs, and even a spark source that might be able to play a role. The conditions at that time were better than they are now.

And, I have mastered some evidence that basically proves that the moon egg must appear at Saint Byron's in the Fifth Era. I can swear in my own name that I will take good care of her."

"No, please don't say that, I trust you very much."

Danister said. In order not to be discovered by the Church's ring-mages, she was in the appearance of an eighteen-year-old at this time, wearing a youthful and beautiful student uniform that Xia De had changed for her using "Door Key: Cinderella." Among the group picnicking, except for Yiluna and Ellie, she was the youngest in appearance.

"I just made a suggestion. If you still don't want to adopt such a plan in the end, I will also support you."

Xia De said again. He would not force Danister to make a choice. The red-haired female mage understood Xia De's accommodation to her, and she was not the kind of stubborn person:

"If I agree, Xia De, you must help me find that egg again later."

She looked up and said stubbornly to Xia De. Xia De showed a smile:

"Since you and I were able to bring her back from the Moon Tower together, we will definitely be able to find her from the academy again."

He blinked, then lowered his head and asked Miss Doll in his hand:

"Miss Feilian, if you want to send that egg back, where would you hide it in the academy?"

"Xia De, this is cheating. Even if I say it, will the Tree Father allow you to hear it?"

Petite Feilian said, and the girls on the blanket laughed together. In fact, everyone was listening to the conversation here.

Miss Doll continued:

"I am not my true body; I am just a segment of thought, just a remnant, just a part split from the individual named 'Mana Feilian.' After you brought me here, my thoughts and hers produced differences because of different experiences, so in fact, I can't give you an answer either. After all, I didn't experience the process of 'hiding the moon egg'."

"But even if it's hidden, it must be in a very conspicuous place. I wouldn't hide things in a very mysterious way."

Xia De nodded, and then asked softly again:

"That is to say, when your time reaches the end, you... the you who was brought to this space-time by me, will disappear completely, right?"

Miss Doll was also wearing her iconic witch pointed hat. Hearing Xia De's question, she smiled gently and looked up at Xia De in the tree shadow:

"I am just a doll, not the person you are thinking of."

"But..."

"When my true body touches me again, she and I will merge into one. By then, she will know everything that happened here. So, you must take good care of this doll."

She flew from Xia De's palm into the air. The witches covered the sight from other directions very well. Time was running out. Miss Doll flew to a position level with Xia De's face. She looked at him seriously, as if she wanted to engrave all of him in her heart:

"What a pity, this 'future journey' is probably going to end here. Although there is no time to say more words to you, no time to watch more scenery with you, but fortunately, the things that needed to be done have been completed, and it can be considered everything went smoothly."

She leaned close to Xia De, and her tiny mouth kissed Xia De's forehead:

"This spring is truly beautiful. The girls around you are all excellent; they will help you. Looking forward to the next reunion, Xia De, take care."

"Miss Feilian, you also..."

Before Xia De finished speaking, the floating doll fell downward. Directly below, Little Mia didn't mean to dodge at all, because Xia De caught the doll immediately.

The doll was now "empty." Although it still maintained the final gentle expression on its face, Xia De knew it was no longer the person he missed. There was no solemn farewell, just after one sentence, it disappeared. The warm spring wind couldn't blow away the sorrow of parting. Xia De sighed, feeling that if he could study the culture of this world and this era well, he might be able to write a little poem at this moment to express his sorrow.

The "Petite Feilian Doll" was the final souvenir of this time exploration. Xia De would keep it well and wait for the next reunion.

"Although I know you must be melancholy now, and have many serious things to tell us, but before that, and before the picnic officially begins, I also have something to say. Don't worry, it's just a small suggestion."

Luvia turned around, no longer looking at the park scenery, but said very seriously to Xia De. Everyone cast their eyes, very curious about what Luvia was going to say.

The purple-eyed girl swept over the doll, and then asked somewhat hesitantly:

"I know you must like this doll very much, but can you... can you not... not put it on the bedside at home? Dorothy, Leixia, and I sometimes stay overnight. If we see it sitting on the bedside looking at us at night..." ===== CHAPTER 4138 =====
