Chapter 122
"But... that was only when I was still alive, right?" Zanze lowered his head and whispered, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.
This called Ash, with a trace of pampering and helplessness, gently stroking the messy hair: "A future that is too far away, even if it is confirmed, is meaningless, right? And in life, forget about thinking long-term, but there is no need to consider the future that is too far away."
"Ha..." Zanze heard this and sighed at this moment: "... Lord Ash, you still say that I am slow, but in fact I am not much better."
"How could it be, I still understand it."
"You only understand rationality, but even I know... girls prefer emotional promises to rational thinking."
"... You are a girl, it is normal to understand a little more than me."
"Not a little, this is completely... Oh... Forget it." Zanze said halfway, but gave up the argument in the midst of wanting to say something, and turned around silently and walked to the tea table.
The girl turned her back to him, took out a new cup from the cabinet beside her, and said without turning her head: "Anyway, since we are here... do you want to drink with me and chat for a while?"
"Of course, I can, but..."
"Put your outdoor shoes on the windowsill. Also... please go through the front door next time you come; even if you want to lecture me, I can't escape if you come from the front, right?"
"... The window is also convenient."
"Please don't climb the window... that's too weird."
Zanba Zeshan was cleaning the tea cups, and Qi Yijiu was looking at him with a little helplessness. She turned her head slightly and glared at him, and her tone of voice couldn't help but sound like she was lecturing him.
Knowing that he lacked manners, he could only listen to the owner of the room.
Although it was already night, the two of them still sat at the tea table, eating snacks and reading books, and chatting about recent national events.
Although he was broken into through the window and said a few words to him, at this impromptu tea party, Zanze's tone and demeanor always had a sense of lightness.
The atmosphere gradually became as harmonious as usual.... All this was like a microcosm of their countless gatherings in the past.
It was not until the moon was at its zenith that Ash left the girl's house... Of course, he still climbed over the wall, although Zanze had just reminded him to go through the main door next time.
But he climbed over the wall and climbed through the window when he came, and if he left through the main door when he left... I'm afraid it would be strange.
And Zanze just smiled helplessly, silently picked up the broom with his hair, and silently dealt with the traces of his breaking into the boudoir under the windowsill.
..............................
..............................
After Zanze's matter was cleared up, Ash planned to go back to sleep.
However, when he returned to his house and opened the room, he saw the elf with messy silver hair lying on the bed, lying in his quilt, forming a crooked "big" character, and sleeping soundly.
At first glance, he couldn't help but wonder if he had walked into the wrong room, silently stepped back, and closed the door again.
But after looking around, he found that... this should be his room.
".... Could it be that I just had an illusion?"
He muttered, shook his head, and then pushed the door open again.
However... the elf in the room was still lying there, without any sign of disappearing.
".... This guy, wouldn't he squat on me, squat for a long time and couldn't stand it, so he fell asleep directly in my bed?"
Staring at the elf girl who didn't notice his repeated opening of the door and was still immersed in dreams, and then observing the situation around him, he immediately found several magic books scattered by the bed.
Fulilian has always been very good to the magic book, and this time she was obviously a little angry because she couldn't wait for the target for a long time... Although Ash really couldn't praise that such an adult would still be angry.
But when he was the culprit of all this, he couldn't complain.
"But would a normal girl run to a man's room? Well... I should say it or not. Now look carefully, she is even less cute when she is asleep and doesn't talk!"
He sat next to her and observed carefully. The elf girl who occupied his bed, had no sleeping posture at all, and even drooled at the corners of her mouth, and her expression became subtle in the middle of her words.
"——; Rather than saying that she is a thousand-year-old old man, this is just a ten-year-old kid, right?" Ling Ash complained while reaching out to pinch Fulilian's face, not worried about waking her up at all.
Because he knew too well that if there was no danger, the alarm in his head would be triggered, and it would be difficult to wake up Fulilian after she fell asleep.
He grabbed her wrist again, and fiddled with her casually like a doll... and felt bored, so he threw her back.
He picked up the book on the ground, lay on his back on the bed, and pushed Fulilian a little bit. He used magic to make the book float in the air and turn the pages automatically, and planned to spend the night reading like this.
However, as time passed bit by bit...
While he was watching his wife enjoying the ball, Fleury, who was sleeping in a very bad state, was lying on the side, constantly changing her sleeping position, and suddenly turned over again, lying directly on his chest, and slapped him on the face with one hand without mercy.
"What is this guy...doing?" When he was reading happily and immersed in the ocean of knowledge, this sudden slap in the face stunned Ash instantly.
However... the culprit was lying on his chest, smacking his lips freely, and even shook his head slightly, wiping the saliva directly on him.
This left him speechless. He slapped Fulilian on the face and waited for about a minute.....
"Wow——?!" Due to the lack of oxygen, Fulilian suddenly opened her eyes, pushed his hand away, and instantly sat up, staring at the culprit with resentment:
"——What are you doing?!"
"...Is this my fault? It's all your fault!"
"What did I do?! Haven't I been sleeping all the time?"
"If you really sleep, I won't say anything to you! But look...what's this on me?" He then sat up angrily, lifted his clothes and pointed at the saliva marks on them.
"Who knows what you are doing...Ugh~It's so cold~!"
The girl, who was only wearing a pure white dress and pajamas, was frozen by the cold wind that invaded from the window before she complained twice. She couldn't help but hugged her hands in front of her chest and shivered twice.
Seeing this, Ash, who still wanted to argue with her, shook his head in frustration, then bent down to pick up her coat that she had thrown on the bedside and threw it on her head without thinking.
Her vision was suddenly blocked by her coat. In the past, Fulilian would have complained a little.
But at this moment, she seemed to be driven by the cold, and quickly wrapped herself tightly in her coat. There was a hint of childlike innocence in her eagerness.
..............................
After being forcibly awakened, Fulilian, whose mind was not fully awake yet, quarreled with Ash for a few more words, and then sat on the bedside in a daze, in a slightly messy posture; her eyes were half open and half closed, with a bit of laziness of just waking up, she yawned lightly, and whispered a few words, but no one knew what she was saying.

The bare shoulders, under the pure white dress and pajamas, are as white as snow, and her tender face is slightly flushed because she just woke up, like a newly blooming peach blossom, delicate and beautiful.
Although the clothes are messy, they add a bit of natural beauty without decoration.
The silver long hair is casually scattered on the bed, blending into the surrounding scenery, making this naive elf girl inadvertently reveal a kind of extraordinary cuteness.
"Hmm... I'm really out of my mind. I actually think this old guy is cute." Ash, who was standing aside, was stunned for a moment, but after he came to his senses, he really took a breath and bumped into the wall in front of him.
"Bang!" He knocked the wall and made a muffled sound, and the whole wall shook.
Although he wanted to knock himself into amnesia, the wall might not be able to bear it first, so he had to give up this option.
But before he could think of other excuses, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said without paying attention.
Before he could think of a remedy, the girl who was originally sleepy, now had tears in her eyes, and when he looked back in surprise...
"Woo... Wow~~ Wow wow wow wow~!!"
Sitting on the bed, the originally cute girl's beautiful face was distorted in an instant, and even when he wanted to remedy it, she burst into tears first.
Tears flowed down her cheeks as if they were free.
The fear of being dominated by Fulilian, who had cried for three days and three nights without sleep, once again surfaced in Ash's heart at this moment.
"Calm down, Fulilian! I was wrong, okay? Don't be like this, I definitely didn't mean it, believe me! Can I admit my mistake to you?"
He tried to comfort her, and stretched out his hand to touch her head, but the other party was indifferent and kept crying.
"I... I don't care~! You have been bullying me! Now... now you broke into my room... you woke me up, bullied me! You even said I was an old guy~!" Fulilian sobbed and complained, accusing him of being wrong.
"No.... Can you look carefully? This is my room? You slapped me first!? This is definitely a righteous response!"
"You said I'm old!"
"I just said something happened... Uh, I was jealous of your beauty, okay?"
"——Why would a man like you be jealous of my beauty! Woo~~ You're just bullying me! I don't care! Woo, wow~~!"
........
No matter how he tried to comfort her, Fulilian just kept crying.
Ash even tried to comfort Feilun in the same way he did in the past, holding her on his knees, stroking her head, and constantly apologizing and comforting... Fulilian still cried regardless.
Even when he touched his hair, he no longer cared about it, just like a child having a tantrum... It was completely different from the way he chased him with a broom in the evening, and the calm and calm demeanor he used to have in the past. people.
............................
............................
The loli-like elf girl cried so miserably.
People saw it, and they regarded Ash as someone who had done something worse than a beast, and not for a while...
"——What happened?!" Feilan was awakened by the movement here. He quickly opened the door and walked in wearing pajamas. The first thing he saw was sitting on his lap, still crying. Fulilian immediately looked at Ash angrily and asked:
"Master Ash! What are you doing? Why do you make Master Fulian cry to this extent??"
"...You may not believe it, but I didn't do anything..."
"You didn't do it! How could Lady Fulian do this!?"
"Okay, I may have done something, but all I did was press my hand on her face, block her airway, and forcefully wake her up. But this is also because Fulilian saliva wiped my body first... ..."
He tried to argue with reason, but Feilun's face was full of disbelief. He pointed at Fulilian who was still crying. Just because Fulilian was crying so miserably, a trace of tears appeared in the corner of his own eyes. :
"——Even if Ms. Fulilian is wrong, you won't be like this, right? Just teach her a lesson? I can't even imagine what you did wrong to make Ms. Fulilian cry. , even, even crying like this!”
"There are other reasons for crying... Well, I'm sure you still won't believe me... but it's really just because I accidentally said she was old..."
"???"
This hesitant speech, but the answer he gave at the end made Philan completely dumbfounded.
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Ash couldn't help but emphasize: "Really...it's really just like this!"
"...Do you think I'm a fool? Even if you lie, you have to have some logic, right?" Even if he said it very seriously, the truth was so outrageous that Fearon didn't know where to start even if he wanted to help him.
And this can't be blamed on Philon, after all, even if it were him...if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.
Now he could only feel unspeakable depression, put his chin on Fulian's head, and sighed softly: "Believe it or not, she will cry for three days and three nights... Can you help me? Take care of this guy, I want to go out."
As soon as he said these words, Fulian choked even more, and looked up with tears in her eyes: "——If you want to run away! I will continue to cry when you come back!"
"....Are you a child?"
"I don't care~ Who told you to call me old again? And... you just said it again!"
"...I'm even counting at this time..."
Facing the unreasonable girl, he could only look at the dumbfounded Feilun with an expression of suppressing a headache, and asked for help: "Filun... do you believe it now? Can you help me persuade her. ....”
"Although I really don't want to help you, it's not a problem to make Lady Fulilian cry like this all the time." Feilon pointed to the position beside him solemnly with a bit of doting and helplessness: "So Please remember to sit here and listen to my teachings tomorrow."
"....No, as I just said, she would normally have to cry for three days and three nights. You definitely won't have time tomorrow."
"Please don't kid me, how can a human cry for that long?"
"She's an elf."
"Elves are also a type of human being." Fearon directly rejected his point of view, and looked at Fulilian again, and sat next to the two of them, whispering softly:
"....Lord Frilian, please stop crying. Lord Ash already knows that he was wrong."
"No...no! Oh...he doesn't know!"
"No...I've already admitted my mistake."
"No! This guy... ugh... he was like this before, and he's still like this now~!"
While wiping her tears, Fulian turned her face away in protest, her attitude obviously not wanting Philon to interfere in other matters.
But Feilun saw that she was still sitting on Ash, so he glanced at Ash, then stretched out his hands to hold Fulilian on his knees, then hugged her gently like a mother to her child, and touched her head and give warm words.
....The movements and expressions were exactly the same as what Ash once did to her, or she learned it from Ash.
However, the same template cannot achieve two effects even if it is changed to another user.
Fulilian still cried regardless. After letting Feilun talk for a long time, but to no avail, she couldn't help but look at Ash and asked:
"Master Ash, can you give us a brief introduction to Master Fulilian's situation?"
"....How do I know?"
"But I occasionally fight or something, and I don't react when people talk about it."
