Time in a collapsing world

When will Li come back?

Otto chatted with Kallen for a while, but soon, this idea popped into his head again.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Otto missed Yaeri very much.

If he were here, he would definitely be able to drive away his brothers easily, right?

The sound of rain and wind outside the window has gradually become smaller, and the sound of rain hitting the window has also disappeared.

"Miss, it's time to go,"

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.

"Okay, Grandpa Arthur~"

Kallen responded and stood up, "Then I'll be leaving. See you next time, Otto~"

"Ok."

"I'll return your shoes to you next time. Bye~"

Kallen picked up her wet shoes, put on Otto's furry slippers and walked out. There was already a figure waiting outside.

Otto closed the door, took out the paintings he had hidden in the cabinet, picked up the model parts on the table, and began to tinker with them.

……

A few days later, the weather cleared and a horse-drawn carriage coming from the direction of Shenzhou arrived at the city gate.

The armored knight first glanced strangely at the gray snake driving the car, then asked Yae Riki to get out of the car and began a routine inspection.

"Um……"

Looking at Yaeri's tender face and short body, one of the knights felt that the child looked familiar, as if he had seen this child somewhere before.

Pink hair…wait.

The knight took out a portrait, which showed Yae Ri's appearance more than ten days ago. At that time, he still looked at least twelve or thirteen years old, but now he had shrunk, which was really sad.

"…Do you have other family members? Like a sister or something?"

The knight would not embarrass a child under ten years old, so he asked in a gentle tone.

Seeing this, Yae Li naturally knew how to answer. She shook her head and said sincerely, "Yes... but they are two younger sisters."

"That's fine, you can go."

The knight did not ask any more questions, thinking that the child's two younger sisters might not be old enough to leave their mother's arms.

The carriage was allowed to pass, Yae Ri got on, and Gray Snake drove away mechanically.

All that was left was the knight behind him muttering quietly: "Is it so hard to find someone with pink hair these days?"

Soon, the carriage traveled for a distance and Yae Li returned to the familiar mansion.

Looking at the gate that she hadn't seen for several days, Yae Li hurriedly got out of the car and thanked Gray Snake, who quickly left.

When he arrived at the door, someone opened it from the inside before he could knock.

Theophile, with his long white hair, stood inside the door, his paralyzed face looking down at him, staring straight at him.

"Sister Theophile, another guest is here? Is it my brother? Or those annoying guys? Wait, who are you?"

Yae Rin poked her head out from behind Theophil, lowered her head slightly and saw the pink-haired "girl" in front of her who looked about eight or nine years old, and her eyes widened immediately.

What's going on? Could it be that there are still bloodlines of their Yae family left outside?

What a cute child. I don't know why he looks a bit like his brother... Hmm? Brother?

An incredible guess appeared in Yae Rin's mind. Her cherry lips seemed to be frozen and slightly opened. She met the dead fish eyes of the child in front of her in disbelief.

"Yes, it's just as you think. I, Yaezaki, am your brother."

The voice was still a little childish. If an outsider heard it, they would probably just laugh it off and think it was a joke from Yaegiri, right?

However, due to the previous experience of Yae Ri's body becoming smaller, Yae Rin quickly accepted the fact, "Brother, you didn't meet Honkai Beast on the way again like last time?"

"That's right..."

Yaegiri answered perfunctorily, walked in past Theophile and Yaegiri who had made way for her, and plopped down on the sofa.

"Where's Sakura?"

Yaeri asked, not sensing Yaezakura's presence in the house.

"Sister didn't wait for you. She returned to the army a few days ago."

Yae Rin took some small desserts and placed them on the table in front of Yae Ri, then sat down next to her.

She felt so uncomfortable. In the past, when she sat down, she could at least lean on her brother's shoulder. Now, if she tried a little harder, she could rest her chin on his head.

"Have you returned to the army? Then it's time for me to go back and show myself, otherwise Tianming will really treat me as a deserter."

After hearing this, Yaeri also thought about her next move. As expected, she was still a little worried about Sakura being alone in the army, even though she was very capable.

"So, brother, you're leaving too?"

"Yeah, we can't just leave Sakura there alone, right?"

"That's right."

Although I feel a little disappointed, my sister's safety is the most important thing.

only……

Can my brother still join the army in this condition?

Yaezun bravely rubbed Yaezari's little head, it felt quite smooth.

Seeing that she was enjoying the touch, Yae Ri let her do it, but she glared at Theophile who was sitting on the other side of her and had been secretly touching her for a long time.

Then, Yae Ri briefly described to Yae Rin the scenery of Shenzhou during this trip.

Taixu Mountain is the residence of the immortal Hua, so the scenery is naturally beautiful. Yaezaki's description easily aroused Yaezaki Rin's curiosity.

"Brother, are immortals really that powerful? More powerful than those scary beasts out there?"

"Of course, with just one finger, thousands of Honkai beasts will be suppressed by the immortal~"

"Oh~ I feel like you're telling me a myth. How could such a powerful person exist in reality?"

Yae Rin clapped her hands, as a recognition of Yae Ri's "storytelling" level.

"I knew you wouldn't believe it. I'll take you for a walk next time I get a chance and you'll know."

"Okay, then the four of us, my sister, and Sister Theophile will go together~"

"Not Otto and Kallen?"

"They are from a big family, right? And they are young, so they won't leave here easily. Also, Brother Otto's physique is not even as good as mine..."

"Then wait until you grow up. In a few years, many things about you will change."

"That's right... Hehe, brother, you won't get shorter and shorter, right?"

"How is that possible? Accidents can only happen twice at most. If you get shorter for the third time... Hehe, I'll... Forget it. I can't set such a flag."

Yaeri twitched his lips. This guy Rin was really rubbing salt into his wounds.

"Li, even if you become a little baby, we won't despise you."

Theophile spoke at this time.

"Don't say such unlucky words. I don't want to restore the factory settings!"
