Could it be that it is a really difficult monster to deal with?
The lakeside of Kinu River is steaming because of the hot springs.
Beidou and Nan Xizi, who were being waited for by Captain Long, stood side by side, looking at the not-so-peaceful stream. At first, neither of them spoke, and it was quiet for a long time.
Finally it was Beidou who broke the silence.
"Are you sure you want to leave?"
"Yes, my people are waiting for me. I can hear my companions singing. They are welcoming me home."
Not only did Nan Xizi hear it, but Beidou heard it too. The ethereal voice came from nowhere, lingering in her ears, like a child's laughter, or a song.
Can the sound from the moon be transmitted to the earth so clearly? Beidou doesn't understand, and he doesn't want to understand.
"Even if my hometown has been destroyed, I will work hard to rebuild it. This is my mission. And your mission is to continue to protect the earth, Beidou." Nan Xizi took off the Galactic Federation ring from her finger and handed it to Beidou.
But Beidou didn't answer.
"Can I become Ace by myself?"
Ace needed two people to transform, from the beginning. Beidou had never tried to fight alone.
"Of course you can. You have to believe in yourself, Beidou. Because I know you are stronger than you think." Nan Xizi took Beidou's left hand and put the ring on his left middle finger herself.
"Can we meet again?"
"I don't know. But if we really need each other, even if we are hundreds of thousands of miles apart, we can probably hear each other's voices, right? So I believe that we will meet again. Now I have to say goodbye to the captain and the team members."
Beidou actually had a lot to say, but in this situation, he couldn't say a word and could only watch Nan Xizi leave.
On this side, the fighter planes of the TAC team had already landed on the ground. Yamanaka and Yoshimura quickly found Konno.
"Where are Beidou and Nan? Didn't they say they were here to evacuate the people as well?"
"Huh? Beidou and Nan, I didn't see them."
"Didn't you see them? What on earth are they doing? Did they follow the monster underground?" Yamanaka was a little angry. Beidou was always like this, and it wasn't the first time. He talked to himself on the battlefield, sometimes impulsively rushed to the monster's feet, and sometimes disappeared for a long time. He didn't look like a qualified TAC member at all.
"Okay, Shanzhong, I think there is a reason why they do this." Long stopped Shanzhong from complaining. At this time, a white shadow appeared in his field of vision. He looked closely and saw that the white shadow passed by in the darkness and soon came to the nearby side.
"Nan Xizi?"
"Captain." The one in white was Nan Xizi, "I'm here to say goodbye."
After a simple farewell, Captain Long was surprisingly not surprised to learn that Nan Xizi was a moon person.
"In any case, thank you for your hard work over the years. You, like Ace, are mankind's eternal friends." Captain Long's words were ambiguous, and I wonder if Nan Xizi understood them.
Nan Xizi understood that the captain was worried that Ace would leave because of her.
"Earth still has Ace and Gaia, and everyone else is here, so it will be okay. My hometown needs me more now, so I have no choice but to leave."
Hearing that Ace was still there, Captain Long breathed a sigh of relief and saluted Nan Xizi with a TAC salute.
Yamanaka, Yoshimura, and Konno, regardless of whether the news surprised them or not, all saluted along with their captain.
Nan Xizi did not take a spaceship, she just flew into the sky in her physical body. This scene is more like a god than a moon person.
Chang'e to the moon
Holding the Jade Rabbit, Lingye watched Nan Xizi embark on the journey to the moon.
It is not easy to rebuild a home, especially on the moon where there is no life. However, it should not be a big problem for Nan Xizi.
Because she is Kaguya-hime. Born with all the beauty that people long for, the princess of the moon.
The light shone, and Ace appeared on the earth. Beidou relied on himself and indeed became Ace.
Ace said goodbye to Nan Xizi, but he did not fly into the sky to see her off because he wanted to stay on Earth and Nan Xizi did not need him to see her off.
Between the earth and the moon, it was as if a moonlight road appeared, welcoming Nan Xizi and taking her across the entire void. Nan Xizi flew higher and higher until she disappeared into the vast sky and ascended to heaven.
In the decades since then, Beidou has been to the moon. He has visited every corner of the moon, but he has never seen Nan Xizi. Then he realized that the "moon" where Nan Xizi was might not really be the moon he knew.
But it doesn’t matter. Even if they can’t see each other, they can hear the voices in each other’s hearts. Nan Xizi is still there, and he is not fighting alone.
Chapter 199: Alcohol Attack
"My lady, these are the names of the families we will visit in the New Year. Some of them have already been sent visiting cards, and some of them have been visited by the master on his own initiative in previous years."
Looking at the long list in Butler Jianye's hand, Ling also felt a headache.
After the third day of the first lunar month, it is time to visit relatives and friends.
Ling didn't have many relatives in Japan. Her father's bloodline was already thin, and her mother's relatives were all in Northern Europe, so they had lost touch after a long time. But there were many families that were close to the Oshima family.
Fujido, Kirito, Fujiwara, Takahashi, Kobayashi, all of them are prominent families in Tokyo. These families are also related to the old friends of the Oshima family.
Although it doesn't really matter if she doesn't go out to meet them, these families are the result of Lingye's father's many years of friendship, including those in the business world and the political world. In previous years, her father also took her to meet them a few times, and she called them uncles and aunts when she met them, so they were not unfamiliar to her.
Ling didn't think it was a pity if the relationship was broken, but her father's years of hard work would have been wasted.
Now she represents the Oshima family, and she cannot act as she pleases.
"Got it, Grandpa Jianye, you can arrange the time."
"I understand."
I had originally wanted to spend the New Year leisurely, but it seems like this New Year will be very busy. The idea of lying on the sofa watching the Red and White Songs Festival, hiding in the kotatsu and eating mandarin oranges to spend the New Year leisurely can only remain in my imagination.
As a child of the Oshima family, while enjoying the family wealth, you naturally have to bear the family's responsibilities.
Time passes during daily visits.
Ling also thought that after the death of her parents, the influence of the Oshima family was not as great as before, and some of her old friends might change their attitudes.
But in fact, she did not encounter any difficulties during the visit. She felt that many uncles were more friendly and enthusiastic than when her father was alive.
One could even use the word attentive, which left Ling a little confused.
"That's not surprising," explained Mino, who was driving, "because the current Oshima family is the best marriage partner."
Marriage, with whom?
Ah, this is a stupid question, of course it's with her. But marriage is still too far away for her, so Ling was a little confused for a while.
After all, now that the New Year has passed, she is only ten years old.
Of course, the investment of a large family is long-term, and emotional investment is even more so. Ten or twenty years is nothing.
"Unless you, the eldest lady, explicitly request that your future husband marry into the family, otherwise marrying you would be equivalent to merging the entire Oshima family."
In this way, if there are children or nephews of the right age at home, who wouldn’t want to build a good relationship with her first?
Time passed during the New Year visits, and before we knew it, it was the seventh day of the New Year.
"You're exhausted, Reiya. I've been visiting everywhere with my mother these past few days and I haven't had any rest at all."
Chise was lying on the sofa without any ladylike image.
She would never behave like this anywhere else, and she would pay attention to her manners even at home, because if she was too unrestrained and did not look like a girl, her mother would criticize her.
Only Lingye's house is the most relaxing place for her. No one here will discipline her, nor will they look at her strangely.
"Tomoyo, too? Me too, I always feel like the New Year is so busy."
Now I am done with my work, but it is only a few days before the start of school. When I was in school, I was looking forward to the winter break and the New Year, but after the New Year, I felt lonely. It was not what I expected at all.
"We haven't played yet!" the two complained in unison, then smiled at each other.
"Reiya, is this your new pet?"
Looking at the rabbit that Lingya was holding in his arms, Tomoyo had wanted to ask this question before.
The rabbit was too beautiful, with shiny fur that even looked like it was glowing. It was like a creature from a fantasy. It was like something out of a fairy tale that had come to reality.
"Well, it's called Lunaticus. It's my new pet. It's a monster."
"Hello, Lunaticus, this strange...monster?" Tomoyo didn't hear clearly at first, then realized that she seemed to have heard some extraordinary words.
If anyone else said they found a monster as a pet, it would definitely be a joke.
But Lingye, there is no way to confirm whether this "monster" is a nickname or the real thing.
"It's a monster, but Lunaticus has never done anything bad before. After all, he's Inaba's white rabbit."
"Inaba's white rabbit? The white rabbit from the story of Okuninushi?"
Then it is not a monster, but a divine beast.
"Well, I'll take you to a place."
Ling didn't intend to let too many people know about the secrets of the Moon Palace. Although the so-called "Hao Palace Technique" was a joke, it was also her secret base. Having a secret base was a child's right.
She only planned to share it with her best friends, and Tomoyo was her best friend.
When Chiyo saw the Moon Palace that violated the principles of mechanics and moved towards the sky, he was so surprised that he was almost speechless.
At the end of the pure white and elegant sea of flowers, there stands a towering ancient tree from the mythological era, and a group of ethereal palaces stand in the air.
"This... this is, the Moon Palace?"
"Yes, Guanghan Qingxu."
"So Reiya, is actually Kaguya-hime?"
"wrong."
Ling also handed the rabbit in her hand to Zhishi, who took it stupidly without knowing why. But Ling also took out a camera from somewhere.
Click!
"Now Chiyo you are the Princess Kaguya! Haha."
Chiyo is indeed a perfect match for this "Chang'e Limited Edition" Miracle Nikki set. Her long black hair flows smoothly over her shoulders, revealing a quiet and virtuous temperament.
Lunaticus turned around in the hands of the two girls, not resisting, and still dozing with his eyes closed. He was just a homebody, and even sleeping for hundreds of years was not enough.
"Ah, Reiya, can you take me home now?"
"Now?"
"Yes, I suddenly got an inspiration!"
Inspiration came, and she was in great need of a sewing machine! Even the magnificent scenes in fairy tales could not compare to the effect of a sewing machine at this moment.
This is the fun of Chise.
