Chapter 1: The invitation letter from the stars

.

In the lamp: "The branches and leaves of the treetops gradually turn from green to golden, and gently slide down, quietly laying a new layer of color on the courtyard, as if celebrating the arrival of a new season. I really hope you can see it too. Looking forward to your reply, Sayah."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Quietly, the seasons have changed.

Although the residual heat in late summer has not completely dissipated, the coolness of early autumn has appeared secretly in this small courtyard.

The seagulls chirped, the wind and waves blew lightly, and the towering maple trees seemed to sing together. When they danced, they were the golden maple leaves, which were freely erected on a beautiful track with the wind's dancing steps.

Slowly, it was like a golden rain.

Slowly, it was like a deep golden stage.

Greetingly, like a bright golden dance scene.

Qiuyi seems to be particularly interested in this small courtyard, leaving many traces here. Just raise your head and you can find the hazy figure of early autumn.

Paving layers of golden maple leaves, from a distance, it looks like a straight and luxurious carpet, but I am reluctant to step on it, afraid that I will inadvertently destroy this rare beauty.

But at this beautiful end, paving the end of a golden road, three young girls gathered here, concentrating on what they were observing.

A long and thin white smoke slowly floated lightly under the gaze of three gazes, slowly flying towards the sky.

"It's not good yet."

Holding the dead branches found from somewhere in my hand, poking the pile of dead leaves with white smoke, while unconsciously stroking Lan Hua, the rose hairpin at the ends of her hair, was observing carefully at this time.

It's like there's something amazing in this pile of dead leaves.

"Look, this is a treasure specially sent by Grandmother."

It seems that there is really something good.

Aili, who was squatting aside, must use a more serious and focused look than Lan Hua, staring at the pile of dead leaves. Even if there is a storm, it will arouse her close concern.

She was also paying attention to the nature of the pile of dead leaves and the lamps, but she sipped the hot Xuanmi tea in small sips, feeling the warm breath, slowly and slowly.

"It's really delicious."

"puff."

President Alia also held the teacup and nodded.

"Ah, the sun is so warm and comfortable."

"Phhh."

As if echoing the words in the lamp, President Ariya, who had just put down the teacup, was already half lying and leaning against the tree, his round belly was warmly held by the sun, and his eyes were slightly narrowed and he looked drowsy.

"Ah, the fragrance is coming out."

"bawl!!"

His white ears shook, and President Ariya, who was about to fall asleep the moment ago, jumped up instantly. His blue eyes were wide and round, and he ran towards the pile of dead leaves emitting white smoke with full of excitement.

In a nutshell, the treasure is definitely not a simple thing.

However, before President Ariya had stepped out a few steps, he was immediately forced to carry him down by Lan Hua, making it impossible for him to get close to the pile of dead leaves that were emitting bursts of fragrance.

"Big greedy, President Alia."

Aili must take the dead branches of Lanhua and keep poking the pile of dead leaves to keep the air flowing and observe the changes of the treasure hidden in it from time to time.

Lan Hua, who hugged President Ariya, did not walk towards the pile of dead leaves at this time, but walked towards the lamp where she sat by the tree and drank Xuanmi tea sips.

"Does Lan Hua want to drink too?"

"Yeah, give me a drink."

He took the hot tea handed over from the lamp, leaned slowly against the tree, and sat on the ground.

"The skirt will be dirty."

"You're not the same."

"That's right."

"…In the lamp, you seem to be more stunned than usual."

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

After smiling, Lan Hua did not continue to preach as usual, but raised the hot teacup. However, as soon as the tea sipped into his lips, Lan Hua quickly put down the cup and looked at the lamp beside him in disbelief.

"This, this, what is this?" The voice was trembling so hard, but the hand holding the teacup was shaking even more violently. The tea almost overflowed several times, "Didn't it mean I just drank Xuanmi tea!!"

"I did drink Xuanmi tea just now."

"Then, what is this!"

"Alicia gave it to me."

"You......Huh!? Alicia!? For you!? This... drink!?"

"Well, when Alicia knew we were coming here this morning, I found it out."

"...so."

He lowered his head and looked at the light pink liquid in the cup, shaking gently, turning around.

"The peach-colored drink is almost a year away from that hot spring trip."

"When winter comes, everyone will go there again. It seems that this is the agreement at the beginning."

"Well... the little guy pestered Alicia and finally made an agreement, I really convinced her."

"Unknown to me, it seems that it is getting wider and wider."

"It's very hard to clean, and we have to come to clean up every week. Really, we must settle the score with her when we come back."

I picked up the cup again, and a small mouth was slightly sucked. From the edges of the teeth between the teeth to the deepest part of my throat, there was a faint fragrance of peach.

Seeing Lan Hua's actions, he smiled in the lamp, picked up the peach-flavored fermented drink, took a small sip and then sipped again.

"Is there no news yet?" Lan Hua suddenly said coldly.

It seemed as if Lan Hua was saying something. In the lamp, he just lowered his head and gently shook the drink in the cup: "Festadella Sensa is obviously looking forward to it, that child."

The sound is a little low, some low, obviously completely different from the last. It is not only less spirit and vitality, but more more a little more unaware of anxiety.

Perhaps this uneasiness has existed from the beginning. When the child set out on a trip, left the city, and left the planet, he quietly ran into his inner room, but the corner it hid was too difficult to find, so he didn't notice it for a long time.

that's all……

...After a week, I looked at the computer with a smile.

that's all……

...I spent January, smiling and typing on the keyboard.

that's all……

...I spent a season, smiling and waiting for news.

Little by little, even myself could not detect it. When I realized the deep darkness in the corner, it seemed that it was too late. I could only let the feeling of powerlessness penetrate deep into the depths of my chest and it was difficult to break free.

.

"I'm so banned!!"

.

It suddenly appeared, as if it was magnified, Ai Li's face.

It seemed that he was frightened by this sudden action. The lamp was full of eyes and had no reaction. Even though Lan Hua was beside him almost spilled the cup to the ground, he was completely unattentional.

But in this situation, Aili must not care at all, or should say that he did not intend to interfere with it.

I saw Airi turn around and waved his hand in the direction not far away. In an instant, the white whirlwind suddenly roared high...

"Meow!!"

……I guess so.

Although the low growl is indeed worthy of questioning, the three people here are no longer surprised. Even the president launched another raid on President Aria as usual, which shows one or two of them.

The pale body, the pitch-black stripes, the limbs full of wild power, and the face full of courage seemed to be telling the status of its existence among animals and its existence occupied by the food chain...

"Meow……?"

...It's probably true, cough.

Although the movements are full of weirdness, it seems extremely normal in Airixi's eyes. After all, in these months, she took the time to take care of this mysterious creature with the writing "White Tiger" and being a "Mars Cat".

"Ball."

"Meow."
