Dragon and Dessert House

When Neil looked at Hill, he found that Hill looked a little strange.

Neil thought hard for a while, but couldn't get any results, so he simply turned his attention to something more interesting—the fish swimming in the water.

"Chirp!!"

Hill was distracted for a while, and was suddenly called by Neil with a high pitch, and hurried over, "What's wrong?"

"Chirp." Neil turned his head, raised his paw, and a water polo suspended in mid-air floated in front of Hill. Hill took a closer look and found a small anchovy in the water polo.

"You are amazing."

Hill praised Neil, and Neil crossed his waist triumphantly, holding the water polo into his paws with twists and turns.However, before Hill came back to his senses, Neil opened his mouth and ate the water polo and fish together.

"Neil!!!" Hill screamed in fright, grabbed Neil and slapped it on the back, forcing Neil to spit the fish out of his mouth, "This is not food, you can't eat it."

"... Chirp." With water dripping from the corner of Neil's mouth, he looked at the little fish struggling on the grass with regret.

"Oops." Hill put down Neil, picked up a fallen leaf, rolled it into a cone and filled it with water for the little fish to use as a container, "Here you are, I can't eat any more."

"Chirp." Neil took the conical leaf and looked at the anchovies inside, "Chrup."

"can not eat."

Although Hill couldn't understand what Neil said, based on his own understanding of Neil, it would never simply give up what it considered "food".

"Chirp." Neil seemed to give up the idea of ​​eating fish, and stuffed the cone into Hill's hand.Losing the fun, Neil could only sit on the ground bored and yawned big.

"Let's go back to sleep."

Hill, who didn't take a nap, was also driven by Neil and felt a little sleepy.

"Chirp!" As soon as he mentioned the afternoon nap, Neil's languid round body suddenly tensed up, and his dark dragon scales also became bright and hard.Holding up its short paws, it pleaded angrily to Hill: "Choo, choo, choo, choo!"

The dragon's call echoed in the woods, and Hill tried to understand, but found that it was all in vain.

Neil stopped being hysterical, stared at Hill with mung bean eyes for a while, and suddenly realized that he grabbed a twig and quickly drew on the ground.Hill quickly saw a long-haired man in the painting lying comfortably on a rocking chair in front of the fireplace. When the honest and cute little dragon climbed onto the man, he was ruthlessly thrown to the ground by the man.

"Chirp!!" Neil angrily broke the branch in half, severely condemning the man's behavior.

"That's why you ran away from home." Hill was very sympathetic to what happened to it, "Then I'll hold you and you sleep."

"Chirp?" Neil was surprised, and was naturally embraced by Hill.

Hill lightly stroked Neil's head, and this caress reminded Neil of its comfortable cradle bed, and the more he thought about it, the more comfortable he felt, "Chirp..." Neil yawned, feeling dazed.

Hill carried Neil in his arms and walked all the way to the farm. The house was slowly smoking, the breeze was gone, and only the sounds of animals were left around, enjoying the comfort.Just when Hill was thinking about how to send Neil who had "run away from home" back to the house, the dragon in his arms had already fallen asleep peacefully.

so fast.

Hill was deeply moved by the big-hearted fat dragon in his arms, and felt faintly depressed in his heart.

Judging from everything he saw, Neil was undoubtedly Mr. Fafnir's young appearance.Countless clues appeared in front of him, but Hill persuaded himself to stay away from the truth countless times.

When you have to face reality, this sense of loss is really embarrassing.

Hill had been standing outside the house thinking for a long time before he knew it, and before Hill could recover, the door suddenly opened.

The person who opened the door had long black hair and a soft and beautiful face. Every part of the skin on his face was like white jade carefully carved by the gods. His eyes were bright and his brows were slightly furrowed.

Hill was taken aback by the beauty, stood on the spot, raised his hand stiffly and said, "I... that... it fell asleep."

"Thank you." The beauty responded lightly when she saw Neil in Hill's arms.

Silly put Neil back into the beauty's arms, and passed the cone over, "This is... the fish Neil caught."

The beauty took the conical leaf and nodded her thanks slightly.

Hill stood awkwardly in front of the door, hesitating to leave, but unwilling to leave.

The beauty looked at Hill quietly for a while, then suddenly said, "You are not a child who lives around here."

Seen through by the beauty, Hill tried to defend in a panic, but suddenly faced with a stranger, Hill forgot how to speak in a hurry... for a while, he hesitated and couldn't answer a word.

The beauty tilted her head, and Neil in her arms yelled "Jiuwu" and turned over. Smelling the familiar smell, Lazy's body became softer.

The beauty could only put Neil back into the cradle beside the fireplace, and when she turned her head, Hill was still standing blankly at the door.

"Are you lost?" The beauty frowned again.

Hill looked at the beauty's appearance, and then saw the dragon's tail hidden under the half-covered hakama of the beauty, suddenly: it turns out that the beauty, like Mr. Fafnir, is a dragon.

Seeing Hill hugging Neil, the beauty looked indifferent and didn't hide her tail. Seeing Hill kept looking at her, she hid her tail unnaturally, "What are you looking at?"

Hill shook his head hastily.

"Aren't you going home?" asked the beauty.

Hill nodded, opened his mouth to speak, then lowered his head in frustration, and said, "I don't know how to go back."

The beauty stared at Hill for a while, then suddenly walked up to Hill and squatted down.When Hill looked up, he found that the beauty was indeed beautiful, and even looked somewhat similar to Mr. Fafnir.It's just that the beauty is more feminine, while Mr. Fafnir is more handsome.

The beauty asked repeatedly: "Lost?"

Hill nodded obediently, and at this moment, his stomach suddenly growled.

Only then did Hill realize that he was left on the farm without even having lunch.

The beauty looked at Hill's flushed face, saw that Hill couldn't help lowering his head, and said, "Do you want to eat?"

"Can you?" Hill asked a little embarrassed.

The beauty pushed open the door and invited Hill into the house.Hill walked in, looked around the somewhat familiar room, and experienced a warm feeling that he had never had in his memory.

"Though it's just bread and...mashed potatoes."

Mashed potatoes, that must be Neil's leftover lunch.Hill couldn't help thinking, and his eyes gradually drifted to the cradle bed in front of the fireplace.

Neal... young Mr. Fafnir is sleeping.

Thinking of this, Hill suddenly remembered the agreement to have lunch with Fafna, and seeing the beauty serving out bread and mashed potatoes, he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, as expected, let's forget it."

"are you not hungry?"

Hill shook his head quickly, "I made an appointment to have lunch with someone."

The beauty put down the plate in her hand, brushed her hair, thought for a while and said, "Have you thought about how to go back?"

Hill shook his head, reached into his pocket and clutched the pocket watch.Cerberus once said that Mr. Fafnir's secret can be seen when the pocket watch is turned.Does the stop of the pocket watch mean that he can go back?

Thinking of this, Hill gradually became more confident, "I have a clue."

"Then thank you..." The beauty walked up to Hill and knelt down, and the two looked at each other, "What do you want?"

It was about a thank you gift for sending Neil home. Hill was really embarrassed to ask for it, but the beauty in front of him seemed to be very persistent. Hill thought for a moment in distress, and then came up with an idea, "Excuse me, do you have any cider?"

The beauty didn't expect Hill to ask for wine.

Why would a child make such an outlandish request?And ask for an obscure cider by name.The beauty was confused, but she could read firmness from Hill's eyes.

"I know." Without thinking about it, the beauty went to the cabinet, took out a wine bottle, and handed it to Hill.

The wine bottle was plugged with a cork, and there was no label on the bottle, which was obviously private brewing.Hill pulled out the cork and smelled it, and sure enough, he smelled a slightly sour apple smell.

"Thank you!" Hill was full of joy, plugged the cork, and thanked the beauty politely.

The beauty didn't speak, and stood at the door, intending to watch Hill off.Hill turned sideways and looked regretfully into the room, but it was a pity that the sleeping Neil didn't get up.However, Hill had already made up his mind to leave. After running for a short distance, he suddenly turned his head and waved to the beauty. He mustered up his courage and said loudly, "Please rest assured and leave Neil to me, Dad!"

The beauty who had just turned to close the door almost tripped over the threshold of his own house. He turned his head full of doubts and found that Hill had run away without a trace.

After completely running out of the farm, Hill hid in the woods with the wine in his arms.

Taking out his pocket watch, Hill stared at the moving hands, recalling what Cerberus had said.

If the pocket watch sent him here because he wanted to see Neil, then if he wanted to see Mr. Fafnir, would he...

While Hill was thinking, a white light suddenly surrounded him.The white light was soft, engulfing Hill like a huge white blanket, and Hill felt his body floating in mid-air, as if being carefully protected by someone.This feeling of being protected is reassuring, and Hill unconsciously relaxed his body, drifting away with white light.

Only when there were noisy voices around, Hill gradually opened his eyes.

Familiar kitchen, strong wheat fragrance.Guests coming and going made brisk sounds as they stepped on the smooth wooden floor.This is the kitchen of the dessert house. Hill pinched his face to confirm that he had returned.

The previous experience was like a dream, in a trance, both true and false.

However, Cider, who was hugged tightly, told Hill that it was not a simple dream, but a real and magical adventure.

Hill put down the bottle, took a deep breath, and calmed down.

The pocket watch hidden in the clothes has disappeared, but Hill is not panicked.Because the pocket watch tells itself before the white light disappears that it will return to its owner.And Hill just needs to be himself as usual.

"I'm fine..."

Hill muttered to himself, as if revealing the truth of Neil's identity, it was nothing to him.

ding ding-

The rattle at the main entrance of the shop rang softly and continuously. While Hill was involuntarily attracted by the sound, there was also a sound of gasping outside the shop.Even Fei Duoan got stuck in the middle of welcoming the guests, and changed his words bluntly: "Master, master, you are here."
