Let’s talk about Xilin and Benares who reunited after experiencing life and death, and hugged each other, which was so touching.
Lu Mian originally wanted to change his clothes and leave tactfully, avoiding this scene that seemed to have nothing to do with him and not being a light bulb.
But then he thought that this bedroom was his bedroom, the bed was his bed, the girl was his child, and Beibeilong was still his spirit.
It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with him.
Then he stayed there with a clear conscience, watching the two people hugging each other with a gentle look, and took the opportunity to explain:
"In a sense, this girl named Benares is the reward I received after activating my ability this time. She is now the spirit of the Grimoire."
Hearing the sound, Benares, who was hugging Xilin happily, moved his ears slightly, turned around with a slight doubt and looked at Lu Mian.
Perhaps it was because her original form was once a "dragon", but now she was very "clean" and not only did she not hide anything, but she was unexpectedly generous and frank.
The pair of small and exquisite "headlights" that seemed so attractive that one could not take their eyes off them shone towards him along with the movement.
Their eyes met for just a moment, and Lu Mian's gaze automatically moved downwards in salute as a human instinct.
Finally realizing that something was wrong, Xilin stretched out her arm to help Benares block the attack, and then rolled him into the quilt.
After doing all this, the girl first glared fiercely at the man who looked so open and aboveboard that it made people unable to get angry.
Then he sighed softly, looking cute and helpless, and acted as the middleman for the introduction:
"Although it seems that you are quite familiar with Benares, I will still introduce her to you: Benares, my companion Honkai beast, I usually call her 'Bella'.
"But now it seems that we should think of a new name for her that belongs to her alone."
After introducing Benares to Lu Mian, Xilin immediately turned her head to look at Benares and pointed at Lu Mian and said:
"Mian, I have a very good relationship with him, so good that we can stay in the same bed together like this.
"Oh, and if you don't want to be eaten by him as a 'snack', stay away from him."
Benares did not hear the selfishness that was about to overflow in Xilin's words. "Well - Mian, you bastard, stay away."
Instead, he stared at Lu Mian deeply, and dully repeated in a low voice what he heard.
In response, Lu Mian shrugged slightly with a gentle expression.
He also accepted the nickname "dog man", which was more fresh than the word "bastard" that Kiana blurted out when he and Kiana first met.
It's not that he has a good temper. It's mainly because such adjectives are actually the same as "a little cutie" for him, a "ten-year veteran keyboard warrior in the canyon".
There is no offense, let alone insults...
After introducing himself to Benares under Xilin's "friendly" guidance, Lu Mian paused, then handed the magic book in his hand to Xilin.
While handing it over, he said in a gentle voice:
"Benares is now the spirit of the Grimoire, so he must be bound to the Grimoire.
"And the function of the magic book is bound to me, so I can use it even if I don't have it with me. I think it's really useless for me to carry it with me, so I might as well leave it with you.
"This way, Benares can stay with you and talk to you."
"Is that so? Then don't use this magic book to secretly meet other women in the future, or I will be angry."
Knowing Lu Mian's intention, Xilin took the magic book with one hand, the corners of her mouth twitched wildly and couldn't stop rising, but she still spoke like this, as if jokingly or acting coquettishly.
However, as soon as the words fell, before Lu Mian could react, Benares, who had been motionless since being wrapped in the quilt, suddenly moved as if some strange switch was suddenly triggered.
She first struggled to break free from the quilt at an extremely fast speed, and then her figure flashed and stood between the two people who were looking at each other and laughing - facing Lu Mian, protecting Xilin behind her.
Lu Mian: (._.)
Xilin: ╰（｀□′）╯
Benares, who had not noticed his own queen due to his perspective, even put his hands on his waist and said, "Don't worry, Queen. I am here and will definitely not let him bully you."
He seemed full of confidence and even a little proud.
Little did she know that Xilin behind her clenched her pink fist and punched her head with an iron fist of love, "You silly dragon, get out of here, and put on your clothes right now!"
The force of this punch was controlled very well, making the child feel pain without actually hurting the child.
It vaguely resembles the way Theresa taught Kiana when she first arrived at St. Freya's Academy.
"Wow!" Benares, who really didn't expect to be "sneak attacked" by someone behind him, covered his head with his hands, his aqua blue eyes were full of tears, and for a moment he made a very cute sound.
Lu Mian couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the "friendly" interaction between the master and servant.
Then, considering that Benares might not be able to conjure up clothes, she reached out and threw out a light blue skirt.
This was also what Tesla had left over. I didn’t expect that I used it once at Aiyin and I can still use it now.
It's really worth buying...
-----------------
After the reunion scene between Xilin and Benares, Lu Mian arranged for them to retreat back into Kiana's consciousness space together.
As for the idea of snapping his fingers to bring Maya, Bella and the others over, Lu Mian put it aside for the time being.
The most urgent task now is to explain everything to Kiana. There is no rush to snap the fingers, it is just right to arrange it at the end.
Silently staring at Kiana whose eyelashes were trembling and who was about to wake up, Lu Mian sat on the head of the bed, pondering.
He was wondering whether he should explain everything to Kiana and Sirin right now.
After thinking about it, I finally gave up the idea.
There are two reasons for this:
Firstly, there are so many aspects involved in explaining this, and it will also involve Youlan Dell, so I am afraid it will be difficult to explain it clearly in a short time;
Secondly, the fools who really did bad things have completely disappeared from this world. Who knows, Otto might become the only one designated to take the blame.
Rather than going through the trouble of explaining things, it seems better to resurrect Cecilia and then believe in the power of maternal love.
Well, it feels far worse...
Just as Lu Mian was thinking, Kiana slowly opened her eyes.
Unlike before, the usually innocent, cheerful and sunny girl did not look relaxed. Instead, she frowned, and it was unknown what troubles she was thinking about.
Noticing that Kiana was not in the right mood, Lu Mian stopped thinking and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's wrong? Who bullied our Chong Chong?"
Hearing the relaxed tone, Kiana came back to her senses.
The girl also sat up, scratched her head a little embarrassedly, and explained:
"Amien, I had a very strange dream, and it was so real, so real.
"I vaguely remember killing many, many people there. Do you think I will suddenly become a bad kid in the future?"
If everything goes well and nothing unexpected happens, you will probably kill your teacher with your own hands in the future.
Lu Mian couldn't say such words. He thought for a moment, then smiled and comforted:
"Well, dreams are actually the opposite. If you have this kind of dream, it means you will become a messenger of justice in the future. You will undoubtedly be a good child who is as pure as can be.
"And it doesn't matter even if you become a bad boy. I will stay with you no matter what."
His words revealed a certainty that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.
After hearing this, Kiana once again showed her signature sunny and innocent smile, "No, it's not like that. It's obvious that I will stay by Amien's side no matter what I become. Don't dislike me, and don't get tired of my existence."
It seemed that she had come out of the indescribable feeling of just waking up from a dream.
Lu Mian chuckled and nodded in response, then took advantage of the relaxed and happy atmosphere to explain Xilin's existence.
In his opinion, although Kiana was carefree in most cases, she could be incredibly thoughtful at certain times.
After all, it never goes wrong to make things clear as early as possible and eliminate all opportunities for wild speculation, right?
Just like that, with Lu Mian's explanation that cut off the beginning and the end and omitted many difficult-to-explain details, Kiana just happened to receive and understand all the information.
The specific understanding is as follows:
There is a pitiful beautiful girl named Xilin. She has lost her body, so she can only temporarily live in her consciousness space as a soul.
This beautiful girl is also Amian's friend, so there is no problem at all and she is trustworthy.
After sorting out everything, Kiana first clenched her fists and pounded her palms, pretending to be in a daze, and then asked tentatively:
"Xilin, um—Sister Xilin?"
"What?" Xilin was a little impatient. If she listened carefully, she could hear a clear and helpless female voice coming from a distance.
Hearing the voice, Kiana's eyes lit up, and the hair on her head began to sway left and right unconsciously.
She patted her chest, looking very generous and heroic, and said, "Sister Xilin, you can rest assured to stay in my body.
"It won't be too late to go out after Ah Mian has sorted out your health problems. You're welcome."
Although these words may sound a bit silly at first, if you think about them carefully, you can actually hear a kind of sincerity that is hard to refuse.
At least, it would be hard for Xilin to refuse.
She usually had a bad temper towards people other than her family, but she was unusually calm and responded with a soft "hmm".
After almost solving all the foreshadowings between Kiana and Xilin that might cause hidden dangers in the future, Lu Mian began to prepare for Maya, Bella and others to come to this world.
Before that, he briefly explained to Kiana the existence of Maya, Bella and others.
During this time, Kiana listened quietly, nodding from time to time to indicate to Lu Mian that she understood.
Only at the end could I not help but complain:
"How come you made so many new friends in just one nap, Amian? Is this some new special ability?"
Lu Mian didn't know how to explain this, so he could only say that it was a special ability that was not convenient to reveal, and then he snapped his fingers.
"Snapped--"
With the unique crisp sound of a finger snap, the time and space magic contained in the magic book completely opened up the tunnel between the two worlds.
Suddenly, a door of time and space appeared, and Maya, Bella, Aurora, Agata, and Galina walked out of it one after another.
Kiana didn't seem to be very interested in Bella and the other four youthful beauties. No, it would be more accurate to say that she was particularly interested in Maya, who looked more mature and had a motherly temperament.
Maybe it’s because she has been without a mother since she was a child.
Because Lu Mian had only briefly explained the existence of Mei Ya and others, he did not mention their appearance and identity in detail.
Therefore, Kiana, who knew nothing about this, raised her finger and pointed at Meiya who was still observing the surrounding environment not far away, and asked Lu Mian:
"Amien, who is this sister?"
"Oh, this is what I told you, Maya." Lu Mian responded casually without even turning his head, then he got out of bed and walked to Maya, Bella and the others to explain again.
Although it is a bit troublesome, he is the only one on both sides who knows all the information.
More explanations can avoid most misunderstandings, so why not do it?
While Lu Mian, Meiya, Bella and others were explaining to themselves, Kiana was whispering to Xilin.
"Sister Xilin, do you know Sister Meiya?" As she spoke, she would occasionally steal glances in Meiya's direction with a look of admiration.
This simple and plain question completely overwhelmed Xilin, who had already been lowered to a lower level because of the word "this sister" just now.
There was a hint of exasperation in her tone:
"What Sister Meiya!? That's my mom!"
"Ah?!" Kiana, who obviously hadn't expected this level of relationship, suddenly opened her mouth as if it could fit two eggs.
But her facial features were in a state of confusion, and it was obvious that she was really surprised.
At this time, Xilin, who was already a little excited, calmed down and saw the yearning hidden in Kiana's eyes.
Having lived in a "reconstituted family" for quite some time, she obviously does not reject the addition of "new members".
So he cleared his throat and said reluctantly:
"Don't be so polite. If you want, you can follow me and call her mom."
As he spoke, it was obvious that he had not considered at all how to calculate the seniority issue on Lu Mian's side.
Kiana was stunned after hearing this.
