Original God: After the Abyss Girl picked up Miyoushe

Maybe it's because I haven't been in contact with those idiots for too long. The little slice on Earth imagined the gathering of the Abyss Cult to be very beautiful.

As for the actual situation...

The gathering place was still at the ruins they had arranged.

Seraphina set up a formation outside the ruins, so that at least no one would come to disturb the Abyss Cult until the party was over.

She had just finished setting up the formation when the little abyss wizard who gave her the wooden sculpture pushed her out the door.

"Your Excellency the Duke, the layout here is a secret, you are not allowed to see it! Come back tomorrow night!"

He considerately pushed Seraphina a little further away, making sure her nose wouldn't hit the door, and then closed the door with a bang.

Seraphina, who was turned away, said: "......"

You guys are really good at it.

Being turned away for the first time, Seraphina stood there in confusion, thinking about what she should do next.

The Abyss Mage poked his head out again: "My Lord Duke, isn't your father here? Aren't you going home?"

Seraphina rarely mentioned Zhongli in the Abyss Cult. She was a little surprised when she heard this and asked, "Who told you that?"

The Abyss Mage sold out Ying without hesitation: "Her Royal Highness the Princess said so."

"I didn't tell her either."

Ah this.

The Abyss Mage looked away guiltily.

When he returned to the Abyss Order, he met Ying, who told him that Seraphina had returned.

When he asked if Serafina would go back to Liyue first, Ying rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Don't worry. That little girl is willing to come back to work, so she must have seen her father. I guess her father has come to Fontaine."

The Abyss Mage was not in a position to relay these words to Seraphina.

But after so many years of classes, he is well versed in the art of language: "Perhaps Your Highness the Princess and you have a tacit understanding."

As soon as Seraphina heard it, she knew that Ying must be irritating her again. The Abyss Mage was embarrassed to say it, so she simply didn't ask any more questions.

Seraphina stretched and said, "Okay, I'll go home first."

When the Abyss Mage saw Seraphina was about to leave, he quickly added, "My Lord Duke, it's okay."

Seraphina paused.

What did he say it doesn't matter?

He said that in the Abyss Cult you can mention your father at will, even if he is the Rock God.

The Abyss Mage, still holding onto the door and sticking his head out in a ridiculous posture, said softly, "We won't mind."

——Of course he still remembered the curse brought upon him by the gods.

In his view, there is no difference between the laws of nature and the seven earthly rulers under him.

But he had already lost his parents, and he couldn't bear to see his beloved Duke suffer the pain of separation from his family again.

Since my father is still alive, I should cherish him.

"......I see."

Seraphina couldn't describe the feeling in her heart, it was sour and bitter.

On the way home, she bought the cheesecake that Fukaros recommended to her.

"Dad! Second Dad! I'm back!"

Although Seraphina sneaked out, she did so right under the noses of Zhongli and the Dragon King Ruota.

There was a scent coming from the kitchen.

Serafina placed the cake on the dining table and strolled over to it.

Zhongli is cooking pickled pork with preserved vegetables.

This girl has been thinking about this bowl of soup all the time in the abyss. This time, Serafina didn't need to remind her, Zhongli prepared it for her himself.

Seraphina hugged Zhongli's waist from behind: "Dad..."

Zhongli put the sliced ​​ham into the pot, turned around and touched her head: "What's wrong?"

Seraphina moved two small stools and pulled Zhongli to sit down: "I feel a little uncomfortable, Dad, can you talk to me?"

Sitting on the small stool, Zhongli didn't know where to put his long legs.

He adjusted his position so that Seraphina's head rested on his lap.

"Did those monsters bully you?"

Seraphina didn't ask Zhongli how he knew about the monsters. She buried her head in Zhongli's arms and said, "I just suddenly realized that everyone is taking good care of me. I feel a little sad."

Zhongli patted Seraphina's back again and again and said "hmm" softly.

Seraphina wanted to speak, but Zhongli just listened quietly.

"Until now, I suddenly realized that feelings require two-way efforts and love requires communication."

Seraphina actually understood this principle very well, but those who are involved are often confused while those who are not involved can see things more clearly.

When it comes to exchanging interests, Seraphina is very clear.

But once an emotional bond is established, her way of thinking will change from equal exchange to "what can I do for you", and she rarely thinks about "what can you give me".

This is true for Nashida, for Fernina and Fukaros, and even more so for the Cult of the Abyss.

But love should never be a one-sided effort.

In other words, Seraphina has high standards for making friends, and her friends will respond to her, which is why she didn't notice the problem for so many years.

Outside of Seraphina's sight, the Abyss Cult was also giving back to Seraphina.

"Dad, do you know the story of the lonely king in the tower? He clearly loves his people, but he can't hear their inner voices and mistook fear for love... It seems that I have always neglected to listen to everyone's thoughts. Fortunately, everyone is willing to tolerate me."

"Dad, you know what? I'm so sad, but also so happy."

Zhongli stroked Seraphina's hair: "I understand."

Seraphina has been able to accept compliments and criticisms from others since she was a child, and she is never stingy in expressing her emotions. But she is a very delicate child, and once she touches on a topic that the other person is unwilling to talk about, she will shrink back.

For ordinary people, this is a good quality, but for an organization like the Abyss Cult that huddles together for warmth and comfort, it seems very awkward.

Leaning on Zhongli, Seraphina's aching heart gradually calmed down.

"Morax, I bought what you wanted." The Ryota Dragon King, who was carrying a lot of bags, kicked open the kitchen door. "Hey? Nana, you're back?"

Seraphina jumped up from the spot and threw herself into the arms of the Ruota Dragon King: "Second Daddy! I want a hug!"

The little cannonball knocked the dragon king off balance, but luckily he took a step back and steadied himself: "Nana, be careful."

Do you have any awareness that you are now the Lord of the Abyss? If you had hit an ordinary person like this, you would have been imprisoned in Melro Petersburg for murder!

"No matter what, I want a hug!" Seraphina didn't listen at all and threw the thing in King Rodraksha's hand away like the Apostle of the Abyss slapping away little Paimon.

Zhongli caught the thing.

This is tonight's dinner. We can't let this heartless little girl ruin it.

The Dragon King Ruotu had no idea of ​​what Seraphina had just been thinking. Seeing Seraphina clearly acting abnormally, his first reaction was the same as Zhongli's: "Did those abyss monsters bully you?"

Seraphina: "......"
