Legends of Runeterra

"But...you don't even look at me now~!"

"No...No! I want to see you!"

As soon as Lilia raised her head, she saw Li En's face with a slight smile.

"Ah~! Li En, you are teasing me~!"

"Haha~! Sorry, sorry, I just saw that you looked so cute that I couldn't help it!"

"Woo~!"

It was obvious that Lilia was played a little trick by Li En, but she was not angry at all. Instead, she felt a little happy.

"I'm sorry, Lilia. It's my fault. Don't be angry! Try these candies. They are all good things from Piltover~!"

"Piltover!? Li En, how come you have candy from there?"

Lilia, who has watched a lot of human dreams, naturally knows about other continents and islands besides Ionia.

However, since the "Forget-Me-Not Garden" was isolated from the outside world, Lilia had never even been to the material realm of Ionia, and Li En was the first human she had ever met.

Our understanding of the material world has always been very fragmented and one-sided.

The place name that Li En suddenly mentioned aroused her curiosity.

"Oh, about that! Actually, I haven't always been in Ionia. Rather, I just came here recently!"

"Wow! Li En, you must have been to many places!"

"Yeah, it's okay, I've been to most of them!"

"Can you tell me about it?"

"Of course, but before that, please try these foods first!"

"Okay, thank you Li En!"

Lilia thanked him politely, then picked up a piece of lavender candy and sniffed it carefully. The pleasant grape aroma made her eyes light up, and she immediately put it in her mouth.

"Mmm~! Delicious~!"

"Haha! I'm glad you like it. As for Piltover, it..."

So, while Lilia tasted various snacks and candies, Li En told her about the traditional customs of each region.

From time to time, Lilia let out a cute exclamation.

When she swallowed the last piece of candy, Lilia reached out and touched it, and the smooth and cold plate brought her back to her senses.

"Hey~!"

Looking down, she saw that the dozen or so plates of various kinds were all empty. As for where they were, Lilia knew it very well.

Li En, who was interrupted by Lilia's action, naturally looked at the empty plates, which made Lilia even more embarrassed.

"Ugh~! Sorry... I ate all of this~!"

"Hahaha~! What does it matter? Food is meant to be eaten. Lilia, I'm happy that you can finish it!"

Li En said this, turning his gaze to Lilia's flat belly.

"But speaking of which, Lilia, are you full? I have a lot here, and they are different from what I had just now. They are all things you haven't eaten yet!"

“No…I’ve never eaten this before!”

Lilia's eyes lit up.

"Yeah, do you want to eat?"

"Well...then have a little bit, thank you Li En!"

Lilia raised her right hand and made a small gap between her thumb and index finger.

"Ok!"

Lee En smiled and nodded, put away the empty plates, and then took out more food than before.

Seeing this scene, Lilia's face couldn't help but turn red again.

The little mouth moved a few times, but nothing came out, and the tail began to shake slightly unconsciously.

"By the way, Lilia, you are called Dream Lady Tree Mother, but were you really created by Him, or were you adopted?"

Li En certainly knew the origin of Lilia, but asking this question could help ease the other person's shyness.

On the other hand, the more they understand each other, the closer they will be to each other, which is equivalent to desensitizing Lillia.

"I'm not adopted. Although I look very different, I am indeed the child of Tree Mama~!"

Lilia puffed out her chest with pride and began to tell the story of her birth.

In a unique coincidence, the Dream Tree's own dream was captured by a bud on His tree.

And the bud fell to the ground before it blossomed, and Lillia was born.

Although she looks like a fawn, Lillia is essentially the same as the Dream Tree.

"So that's how it is. It's really amazing!"

Li En sighed and looked at Lilia in surprise until his eyes fell on Lilia's tail.

"Hmm? Um... Lilia, are there any ferocious beasts or monsters in the 'Forget-Me-Not Garden'?"

"No, besides the tree mother, there is only me!"

"But... your hair there... seems to be a little chipped. Did you get injured?"

Following Li En's finger, Lilia looked back at her tail.

The furry curly tail has a patch of shorter hair if you look closely.

"Ah~! Li En, don't look!"

Lilia quickly moved her body, blocking Li En's sight with her upper body.

"Okay, okay, I won't watch it!"

Li En turned his head and took out a thin moon-white blanket.

"Lilia, take it and cover it first!"

"Thank...thank you, Li En!"

Lilia quickly took it and covered her tail with it, and then the expression on her face relaxed a little.

"Okay... okay Li En, turn around!"

"Oh well!"

Looking at Li En's apologetic expression, Lilia felt a little uncomfortable in her heart for some reason.

"I'm sorry, Li En, I just overreacted!"

"It's okay, I understand!"

"Well... actually... the gap was a week ago, when I discovered the pollution. Mother Tree was still asleep, and I was terrified.

When I mustered up the courage and carefully tested the nature of the pollution, I felt my tail being touched. In panic, I used a little more force and kicked the other person once...twice!

At that moment, my tail hair was caught in the other person’s hand. So…”

As Lilia described, Li En gradually recalled what happened when he took the Ivern portal a few months ago.

He subconsciously touched his chest and looked at Lilia's deer hooves, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity emerged.

"This size... Could it be that the person at that time... was me!? No, the time doesn't match! No, the flow of time in the spiritual realm may not be consistent with the outside world..."

The more he thought about it, the more Li En felt that he was the culprit who pulled out Lilia's tail hair.

"Luckily, there is Mother Tree treating me, otherwise the hair on my tail would be even shorter now!"

Lilia sighed, then looked at Li En, only to find that the other party seemed to be distracted.

"Leon! Leon!"

"Huh!? Ah! What's going on?"

"You were a little distracted just now. Are you feeling unwell? Speaking of which, it seems that humans need to sleep every once in a while. Li En, do you want to sleep for a while?"

"Oh, I'm fine, I was just thinking about something! Okay, I'm done resting, let's go clean up the pollution!"

"Well... okay! Thank you for your hard work, Li En, you are such a good person~!"

"Ahahaha~! Lilia, you're too kind!"

Looking at the sincere expression on Lilia's face, Li En felt even more uneasy.
