69novels Chapter 408 Thank you... Thank you,
Chapter 408 Thank you... Thank you,
Yun Xianhe was startled by the sound of the fireworks.
He stared blankly at the four members of the police academy team, Kogoro Mori, and Takaaki Morobushi who were smiling in front of him.
After a while,
He blinked slowly.
I looked up at the three ladies and three kids upstairs.
On the third-floor deck railing hangs a handmade banner.
On the off-white fabric, "Happy Hero's Day!" was drawn with colorful crayons.
"Happy anniversary, Brother Xianhe!"
"You, next time something like this happens, remember to tell us in advance. I'll give you the gift when I get back."
Conan and Hattori walked forward, one on the left and one on the right, and handed two large bouquets of flowers to Yun Xianhe.
The latter didn't answer, but just stared blankly.
Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was behind the crowd, came out pushing a food cart.
The exquisite fruit cake was topped with lit colorful candles, the flames of which flickered with the sea breeze.
Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at Yun Xianhe, who had his mouth slightly open and seemed to have not yet reacted, and smiled:
"Happy anniversary Xianhe, don't you want to make a wish?"
"…Make a wish?"
Her eyelashes trembled, inadvertently concealing the confusion in her heterochromatic eyes.
Yun Xianhe seemed to have just reacted.
His gaze moved from the banner to the bouquet, and then to the expectant crowd in front of him.
Finally, it settled on a cake with six different colors.
The hand hanging by his side twitched nervously.
“This is for me…?”
The hero's voice even changed a little, with disbelief in his tone.
Seeing his slightly mischievous look, the others couldn't help but laugh.
Zhu Fu Jingguang slowed down his voice and said:
"Of course, ah, but, because the preparations were a bit hasty, the results are not very good..."
The other party's voice seemed a little unclear.
Yun Xianhe looked at the people in front of him with unfocused eyes.
Similar objects overlap and misplace in memory, and are distorted into other shapes.
Hattori is still very curious:
"Speaking of which, Xianhe, is this anniversary the day you became a hero? How did you become a hero?"
Colorful confetti and flower petals scattered all over the central city square.
The voice of the person next to me shouting through the magic loudspeaker was so loud that the buzzing sound at the end seemed to still echo in my ears.
[“The devil is dead! The world is at peace!”]
[“Adventurer Yun Xianhe and his team have passed the test of the gods! Gentlemen, the “hero” we have been waiting for has finally returned!”]
[“It has been agreed that from now on, the name of ‘The Coronation Day of the Brave’ will be changed to ‘Happy New Year’! …”]
Seeing that Yun Xianhe was reluctant to extend his hand, Conan seemed a little embarrassed and said:
"Although we are just borrowing the flowers from the ship, why don't we celebrate again after we get off the ship? Brother Xianhe?"
[“Happy New Year! Brave Master! These flowers are for you!”]
"In fact, it would be nice to celebrate once more, as a return gift to Xiaoyun for inviting us here."
Kenji Hagiwara on the side echoed.
[“Happy New Year, Brave Master. Thank you for defeating the Demon King thirty-seven years ago! We are also preparing for this year... Are you asking about my father? Ah, my father... passed away this spring. Ah, no, no, no, you don’t have to apologize!”]
"Xianhe, what's wrong?"
[“The hero appears!”]
Cheers, applause, and applause.
The people who gathered around restrained themselves from getting too close.
They had smiles on their faces and their eyes were full of admiration.
Holding flowers, handmade gifts, homemade meals...
Like the most devout believer in the world,
Offer your respect, love and blessings as if you were offering them to a god.
[“Thank you for your detailed explanation of the new map some time ago! It saved us from casualties!”]
[“Thank you, brave man! Thank you for protecting us this year! The strange beast tide in Feiyan City some time ago…”]
[“My dear brave man, I wish you a happy New Year!”]
[“Please accept this!”]
[“Thank you for your donation! This is a token of the children’s love. They all like you very much and look forward to you visiting them again when you have time. Brave Master…”]
[“How can I become a person like you? Please teach me!”]
【"Lord Brave..."】
[“I love you very much, my brave hero!”]
["Brave Man,"]
[“My dear hero!”]
[“Brave man?”]
【“…”】
The sounds in my ears have been distorted by the years.
Celebration becomes commonplace.
The mottled statues and broken murals have long lost their former prosperity.
Flowers are trampled,
Delicious food becomes a bloody weapon.
Humans who are born again in reincarnation are tempted by fame, wealth, and longevity.
They fiercely scolded the "hope" they had prayed for thousands of years ago:
[“We don’t need heroes!”]
"Brother Xianhe?"
The fragrance of flowers rushed into my mind along with the evening breeze.
The soft touch of the petals startled Yun Xianhe and made him tremble all over.
He subconsciously took a step back.
The conditioned reflex of reaching out knocked away the blessings and love that were so close to me.
Snapped!
There was a small exclamation from the crowd.
The severe pain made Conan subconsciously shake his hands:
"Hiss—Brother Xianhe, what's wrong with you?!"
Conan frowned slightly and looked up anxiously.
Compared to the pain in his hand, he was more worried about Yun Xianhe.
The other party's condition is obviously not right.
The sound brought the hero back to his senses.
When he saw Conan covering his hands, he instantly understood what he had done.
Yun Xianhe half opened his mouth and looked at the people in front of him who seemed to be at a loss.
His lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.
Just like before, just like in the previous mission world...
Here it comes again, here it comes again.
He screwed up again...
Sorry, sorry…sorry!
This frail shell created by this world is pale, and its thin body seems like it could be blown away by the wind.
The boy's expression was dull, with a look of bewildered regret in his eyes.
After seeing the flowers scattered at her feet, she pursed her lips tightly.
…It’s terrible.
"Idle Crane?"
The hero adjusted the expression on his face.
He seemed to have just come to his senses, and stammered:
"... Thank you, thank you... Haha... Sorry Conan, there was a moment just now, um... ah, everyone is hungry, right? Si Liuyi, where is the dinner? Serve."
After he finished speaking, Yun Xianhe bent down, picked up the scattered bouquet of flowers on the ground, and gently held it in his arms.
The moment he looked up, he had already sorted out the emotions surging in his heart.
He once again put on that gentle and sunny smile that everyone was familiar with.
"Thank you, everyone. I'm very happy."
"Brother Xianhe,"
"Oh, by the way, I'll take Conan to deal with it first. You guys take a seat, we'll be back soon."
Saying,
Ignoring Conan's rebuttal, Yun Xianhe reached out and picked him up, then walked around the crowd and into the cabin.
The people who stayed there looked at each other's backs as they fled in a panic, and after a while they looked at each other.
After a moment of silence, Hattori asked uncertainly:
"We're screwed?"
No one answered him, but it turned out.
Absolutely screwed.
