Raising Octopus Juvenile

Lena hugged Cecil and cried. Cecil looked at the living blond girl in a daze for a while.

It seems...nothing has changed.

The same scenery, the same family, the same...Lanny.

She moved her gaze to the side Lanny, and was about to speak when someone opened the door and walked in.

"...Cecile." Yin Ren's voice trembled slightly.

Cecil raised his eyes, his eyes were sour for an instant: "Brother..."

The Qingjun youth standing in front of the door is her brother Arnold.

The moment Arnold saw her, Cecil could clearly feel that the heart he raised fell instantly. Before Arnold could control his emotions, Bode and Stella also squeezed into the house from behind him.

"It's awake..." Bode let out a long sigh of relief, and his tight body relaxed. "Little guy, you have been sleeping for a long time."

"Sleep?" Cecil tilted his head slightly in confusion, completely unable to understand what Bode meant.

Bode glanced at Lanny, and after seeing the apparently displeased expression on the other side, he quickly understood the current situation.

It seems that her little pet hasn't had time to explain everything to her.

"Forget it, let me do it."

Bode walked to the table and sat down, tapping the table with his knuckles. The other people stared at Cecil excitedly. Although they didn't say anything, their eyes showed all their feelings.

——Except for Stella, this guy still has a regretful look.

"Do you think your brain is messy now?" Bode asked first.

Cecil nodded: "It feels very unreal. The current world is real or not, why am I not dead?"

"Sister, don't say such things!" Lina immediately squeezed her hand when she heard the words, "With the blessing of God, you won't die."

That's also...

Cecil silently glanced at Lenny and continued to focus on Bod.

"The world is real now, and you are real." Bode slowly said, "Everything that happened before was a nightmare we had, but this nightmare is especially long, so long that it is almost invisible to the end. ."

Cecil became more and more at a loss: "Dream?"

"Yes, mutants, skeleton monsters, the sea flooding the world... these are the common nightmares that every citizen of the empire has had, and now everyone has awakened from the dream, and you are the last one."

"Nightmare..." Cecil couldn't understand, "Since it is a dream, why are you so nervous?"

"Because you slept for three whole days and didn't wake up." Arnold answered her lowly.

--I see.

Cecil vaguely understood.

Lanny should be restoring the world while setting those memories that actually happened to be a common nightmare for mankind. In this case, then those who have died...

Cecil: "Are there anyone who hasn't woken up except me?"

"Yes." Bode knocked on the table twice meaningfully and said, "Matti and Renault died in their dreams."

Cecil was startled slightly.

Arnold took his words: "I carefully investigated their life experience and found that the two of them are actually brothers."

Marty and Renault are brothers...

Even Cecil from the perspective of God never knew that the two seemingly disjointed people actually have such a close relationship.

"Marty is the elder brother, Renault is the younger brother, the two brothers are extremely talented in spells. Because of this amazing talent, they were imprisoned by the nobles at a very young age. The nobles tried to use various methods to conquer them. Their talents were transferred to themselves, and during their imprisonment, they suffered extensively."

Arnold's face is not very good, and his blue eyes are slightly dark, perhaps thinking of himself and Cecil's childhood.

"Do you remember the compass that Marty gave you?" Bode looked at Cecil, "Renault also has one. It was specially made for them by the nobleman. With this compass, no matter where they escape, it will be I can find them in the direction indicated by the compass."

... No wonder that after she used the compass to find Marty's hiding place, Marty would show a sarcasm and ridiculous expression.

Cecil's mood suddenly became very complicated.

"By the way, do you want to know what happened to that nobleman?" Bode raised his eyebrows and asked her softly.

Cecil smiled clearly: "Should be killed by Marty?"

"Guess it."

Bode did not say any more, but got up and walked to Cecil's body, raised a hand, touched Cecil's forehead with his fingertips, and then sighed softly.

"Your body has no problems. However, the magic in your body has also completely disappeared... Cecil, this is more than just a nightmare for you, right?"

The magic has disappeared, which is tantamount to a huge bad news for a wizard who loves spells.

But Cecil was very calm and even smiled comfortingly: "Of course it's not a nightmare for me, it's a sweet dream."

The important thing is not whether the magic disappears, but they are all there.

Bode watched her quietly, then hooked his mouth thoughtfully.

"Anyway, you don't mind."

"Yeah, even if my sister has no magic power, I will protect my sister." Lena hugged Cecil's slender arms, with crystal tears in her eyes, and smiled sweetly.

"Don't worry, this is only temporary. I will find a way. Your magic will be restored soon." Arnold touched Cecil's hair, his eyes soft and affectionate.

Stella, who had been leaning against the wall silently, was shocked when she heard this.

"Well, don't toss it! Now it's not bad, right, little Cecil?" She squeezed out a skillful smile, winked at Cecil, almost "pleased you." The words "Let me go" were written on the face.

Cecil ignored her. She could feel that the master-servant contract between herself and Stella had been cancelled, but Stella did not leave. It is estimated that even Stella could not accurately explain the reason.

The only thing she can be sure of is that this bad-headed demon will probably not eat her for a while-either out of Stella's own wishes or under threats from Lanny and Bod.

As for Arnold's "recovery of magic"...

As a student of Bode, Cecil naturally knew that this was an impossible wish. But she was still worried that Arnold would really look for hidden and taboos, just like the nobleman who imprisoned Marty and Renault. Although she knew that Arnold would not do that, she still wanted to do it just in case. Speak to block it in the first time.

"No need, brother, I think it's nice to have no magic power, anyway, there is Lenny, whether there is magic power is not that important."

After Lenny heard these words, the gloom on his face was instantly wiped out. He is like a praised puppy dog, wagging his tail and staring at Cecil eagerly, his clear blue eyes are shining, like emeralds in the sun, magnificent and dazzling.

Arnold's emotions sank visibly.

"Just because of this guy who can't even cut flowers?"

Lenny wrinkled his facial features unconvincedly and was about to refute, when Cecil suddenly took his arm and put his head on his shoulder.

"Just because of this guy who can't even cut flowers." She smiled, her voice soft and gentle, but with a trace of unquestionable firmness.

Lena stared at her dreamily, holding her breath involuntarily.

Bright sunlight poured through the glass softly on the girl's pure white snow hair. Lena saw the light golden light leaping between her hair, saw the clear water glow in those faint blue eyes, and saw her smile soft and holy, revealing something that could not be concealed. Love.

Maybe she is really a girl loved by God, so she is so dazzling, one can't help but want to see her happiness.

Seeing his sister's so determined and contented eyes, Arnold rubbed his eyebrows and finally sighed helplessly.

"Okay. He can stay, but..."

"Get married! Get married!" Lena couldn't wait to clap her hands and cheer, "Get married right away! I want to see my sister put on a beautiful wedding dress, and I want to help my sister hold flowers!"

"..."

"You shut up!" Arnold couldn't bear to cover Lena's mouth, frowning, and shouting angrily, "What marriage? This guy hasn't passed me yet. Without my consent, no one Don't want to marry Cecil!"

Bode: "..."

This person started again. To have such an overprotective brother, should it be considered a sweet burden for Cecil?

But not for that little guy.

Bod calmly glanced at Lanny's expression, and as expected, he saw discomfort and patience on the opponent's face. Thinking that this guy would be stopped by Arnold, Bode couldn't help but gloat in secret.

He deserves it, how could his precious student be so easily snatched away by others? At least you have to wait a few more years!

Although Bode didn't say anything, the scales in his heart had been subtly shifted to Arnold's side.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was gradually chaotic, Cecil quickly turned off the subject before the quarrel broke out: "Right, father? Is he... also awake?"

She originally wanted to ask if Kevin was dead, but the moment she remembered the name, a picture of a man beckoning her mother suddenly appeared in her mind.

Forget it, it's better not to die, so as to save him from reincarnation and go to another world to harm his mother.

Cecil's question interrupted Arnold's quarrel with Lena.

The two looked at each other for a second, Lena's eyes slowly dimmed, and Arnold showed a hesitant expression.

"What's the matter? He's dead?" Cecil raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"No, my father is still alive." Arnold shook his head, his tone a little heavy, "but he seems...forgot all of us."

Cecil: "He has amnesia?"

"I don't know." Arnold paused, "He only remembers his mother now, and he will go to the cemetery to visit his mother if he has nothing to do. He sits all day."

"That's it..." Cecil held his chin thoughtfully, then smiled softly, "Isn't this great?"

At least the mother will be happy.

Arnold: "Maybe."

The atmosphere was a bit heavy for a while, Bode looked around for a week, and said lazily: "Since Cecil is awake, then I will go to the college to get better. The deputy dean has been calling me to visit his ecological park these days. , Making a fuss, I don't know what new strange things have been discovered."

Lena also cheered up quickly: "Then I will make dessert for my sister!"

Stere stretched a big lazy waist, and cast a charming eyes at Cecil: "I'm going back to the hot spring, little Cecil, do you want to come together?"

Cecil: "No, you should go clubbing with Lena."

"The hot spring? Is it the hot spring room at the back?" Lina opened her eyes when she heard the words, and asked curiously.

Stella: "Yeah, what, does Little Lena want to come too?"

Lena nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes! I have never soaked in a hot spring before!"

"Okay, then Little Lena will go to the hot springs with me, don't come and take a peek~"

"Hey? Hey? Do you want to make it now? Wait, I haven't made dessert yet..."

Stella held Lena's hand with a smile, and dragged her out of the room like a good pair of sisters.

Arnold looked at Cecil and said softly: "I'm leaving too, there are still many things waiting for me to deal with the Knights. You stay at home obediently, if father comes back..."

"I will show him his mother's portrait." Cecil answered seriously.

"Well... this is enough." Arnold curled his mouth slightly, and then looked at Lanney's face. His expression instantly became serious and stern. You can mess around with Cecil."

Lanny: "?"

The little octopus, who doesn’t understand humans so far, feels very confused-what does chaos mean?

"Oh, brother, hurry up!" Cecil shyly pushed Arnold out the door, not giving him a chance to continue.

Seeing everyone leaving one by one, Bode finally got up slowly, raised his hand and yawned.

"Then I'm leaving too. By the way, Cecil, one last question—"

He leaned slightly, his slightly longer forehead spread out, revealing those unusually clear gray eyes, "That's not a dream, right?"

He looked straight at Cecil, his eyes full of determination.

Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the clever old Bode.

Cecil met his gaze and smiled lightly: "It is now."

Bode paused, then raised his hand and rubbed the girl's pure white hair.

"That's good, so I don't have to worry anymore."

No more worrying about Cecil going to die, no more worrying about Cecil going away.

Because the **** loves her deeply.

Levitt’s mansion was revitalized, and the servants were busy, welcoming a new day.

Cecil and Lanny walked into the beautiful rose garden, and the gentle breeze engulfed the scent of flowers, silently drifting to Cecil's side.

"The rose here seems to have never withered." Cecil knelt down and gently stroked the rose petals.

Soft, delicate, pure and flawless.

"Like you." Lanny said naturally.

"Hey?" Cecil blinked, a little unclear.

Lanny took off a pure white petal, placed it in Cecil's palm, and said seriously to her: "These roses have been restored by me, and they will always remain the same as they were when they were restored."

Cecil vaguely guessed something: "You mean... I'm the same as them?"

Lanny nodded and looked at her intently: "Your body disappeared with the old world, but I left your soul."

His words were as strange, absurd and incomprehensible as ever, but Cecil could understand all his expressions.

"So the current me, just like these roses, gained eternity?" She lowered her eyes and carefully observed the petal.

"What is eternity?"

"It just exists in this world forever and ever."

Lanny thought for a while, raised his hand and tapped his fingertips in the air, and the night suddenly darkened.

The day turned into night in an instant, the moon was shining, and the rose gleamed with crystal light in the darkness.

One, two, three... More and more stars lit up one after another in the dark night sky, faintly blue, like rippling streams in the deep sea.

Cecil looked up at the starry sky, and Lenny said seriously beside her: "Stars will always exist, but they are not only in this world."

Cecil lowered his snow-white eyelashes and stared at him quietly.

"Cecile, you are the same. You will exist forever, but not only in this world. No matter where you go, I will be with you..."

Lanney's voice was as beautiful as a poem, with clear blue eyes, shining brighter than the stars in the night sky.

Cecil watched his thin lips move, his eyes flowed, and finally couldn't help but stretch out his hands, took his face, and kissed him gently.

The breeze blows, and the rose trembles.

"Cecile." In the entangled space, Lenny spoke suddenly.

"Huh?" Cecil responded softly.

"Let's get married."

"...Why is it so sudden?" Cecil was shocked, "No, do you know what marriage means?"

"I don't know. But from the reactions of Lena and Arnold, it should be a good thing." He hugged Cecil, her blushing face reflected in his eyes, "So, let's get married."

"But, my brother hasn't agreed yet..." Cecil hesitated.

"Cecile..." Lenny began to coquettish pitifully again.

"Oh, this kind of thing... don't be so hurry. Take it slowly, we have time..."

"Then you sleep with me tonight."

"Hey? Why are you still negotiating terms?"

"Then sleep now."

"Wait, wait... well..."

The voices of the two of them were getting lower and lower, leaving only a small gasp. The stars flickered, the moonlight was quiet, and the roses under the night became more and more white.

The world is drowned in their eyes.
