Time in a collapsing world

Following Selena's instructions, Yaezaki came to the room where Kallen might be. A servant saw him on the way and thought he was a lost child from a certain family. They wanted to take him to the adults, but Yaezaki reluctantly refused.

"The door is not closed?"

Arriving at the door, Yaeri discovered that there was a small gap in the wooden door in front of her. She didn't know whether she forgot to close it or the door was left open for some other reason.

Yae Li pushed the door open and saw a small figure sitting on the bed with her back to her. She had a long scorpion-tail braid hanging behind her, with the tail falling on the soft white sheets.

Yaeri walked straight over, placed the cake on the table first, and then put the sun hat on her little head, which still had a faint scent of cherry blossoms.

The girl's small body trembled because of his series of actions. She raised her head and looked at the pink-haired boy standing in front of her holding the bouquet of purple irises. Her eyes dodged and her face flushed slightly.

"You knew I would come?"

Yaezaki handed over the flowers and glanced at the window, from where she could directly see the location of the gate.

I guess Kallen had seen me coming, so she just sat on the bed and waited.

"Well... although you have become shorter, I can still recognize you..."

Kallen lowered his head, and for some reason he didn't dare to look directly at Yaeri. Even if he squatted down, the other party would immediately turn his face to the side and raise his head.

"Then it seems that you are indeed my good friend. The older sister at the door almost didn't recognize me because of my change... By the way, these are my gifts for you. They are also my thanks for taking care of my sisters while I was away."

Yae Li searched the room and said, "There is a vase here. Do you want me to put the flowers in it?"

"well, thanks."

"..."

Kallen became inexplicably reserved, but Yaeri didn't care too much. After all, a little girl would be shy if someone gave her flowers.

He took the purple iris from Karen's hand, put it in the vase, and placed it on the table.

Yaeri brought the cake over again, placed it on a small table made of several stools, and moved it in front of Kallen, who was still wearing the hat she had given her and sitting on the bed.

"This cake is for you too. Uncle Francis could have eaten it with you, but he's not here right now."

"Dad is out there, dealing with those monsters that are endangering the people."

Talking about her father, Kallen finally raised her head. There was no worry in her eyes about her father going to the battlefield, only full of confidence.

In her eyes, Francis is a giant who supports the heaven and earth, and he can always return victorious from any battle.

"By the way, Kallen, if it's convenient, could you also help me arrange a carriage? I can pay for it. I need to go to the front line, and Sakura is still there."

Seeing that Kallen finally showed more reaction, Yaeri quickly asked.

"Of course, I will ask the sisters in the family to prepare a carriage of the highest standard for you!"

"That's not the case. As long as it can be used as a means of transportation, it's fine."

"Oh……"

Karin fell silent again. Even though the cake was right in front of her, she behaved unusually.

If it were in the past, this little foodie would have started eating impatiently. How could he be as quiet as he is now?

"The carriage thing..."

"Uh, oh, I'll go prepare it for you now!"

Reminded by Yaegiri, Kallen hurriedly ran out again, holding down the purple sun visor on her head to prevent it from falling down due to running.

"..."

Yaeri stretched out a hand behind her, wanting to say that there was no need to rush and that she could just walk over, but in the blink of an eye Kallen had already run out of her sight.

Glancing at the vase on the table, then at the untouched cake, and thinking of Kallen's strange reaction just now, Yaeri gave up thinking.

It is difficult to understand human psychology, especially that of little girls.

Soon, Karin came back, her short legs moving very fast, and when she ran to the door of the room, she almost slipped because she couldn't stop.

"Uh, it's okay if you take it slow."

Yae, who was sitting on the bed and had already started cutting a piece of cake to eat, persuaded her and handed her another small plate with cake on it, "This is your portion, I've cut it for you, take a rest and eat together."

"Thank you, Li..."

Karin had obviously been running all the way, but because of her extraordinary physique, she seemed to be able to do it with ease. She was only slightly out of breath. She tidied up the corners of her skirt that were messed up by running, and adjusted her sun hat. She sat next to Yaeri like a lady, took the cake plate, and began to eat it in small bites.

"..."

During the time he was away, could it be that the Kaslana family had already transformed their Saint?

Compared to her previous carefree look, her current behavior is indeed more in line with the identity of a saint.

But it was obvious that Karin in front of him was not at all used to eating in small bites.

Several times, the fork cut off most of the cake, but for unknown reasons, Karen put it down again, cut smaller pieces and put them into her mouth, showing her ladylike demeanor.

Yaeri's strange gaze was noticed by Kallen, who gave her a reserved smile.

"Karen..."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Riki?"

"Don't be like this, I'm afraid..."

"……what?"

Kallen was stunned. She had been trying to maintain her ladylike image based on her own memories, but when she heard this, she broke down. "Why? I have devoted myself to restraining myself, why are you scared, Li?"

"Uh? I don't understand what you mean."

Yaeri was stunned.

"Didn't you notice, Li, I was just a lady, just like some of the sisters in our family!"

"Yeah... Indeed, I saw it. It's very obvious. But why did it happen so suddenly..."

This is what Yaeri is puzzled about. She wants to know what is the reason that can make Kallen restrain herself. She is obviously a foodie, but she has to suppress her appetite and eating speed. The torture is no less than forcing salty tofu pudding to someone who likes sweet tofu pudding.

"Well……"

She lowered her head again, and under the brim of her hat, she cautiously glanced at the purple iris on the table.

The window was opened, a breeze blew by, and the purple irises in the sunlight looked like dancing butterflies.

When Yaeri just arrived at the gate, Kallen had already noticed his presence, and also saw in advance the bouquet of purple irises in his hand and the purple iris sun hat on his head.

As a native Westerner, Karin certainly knew what it meant when a boy gave a girl purple irises. The huge amount of information it contained made Karin think a lot subconsciously.
