God's Garden

"I didn't expect to see you again."

Di Ke has beautiful long light golden hair and a rather delicate face. At this moment, he is sitting on the edge of the cup with his feet up. He seems to be very comfortable, but more generous.

"I didn't expect that either." Oak smiled, "After all, he took you away."

"What nonsense, isn't it you who gave me to him?" Di Ke tilted his head and smiled helplessly.

Oak closed his eyes, and curled his mouth like a sigh, "...that's right."

"..."

Seeing his expression, Di Ke didn't say much.He jumped off the rim of the cup and looked at his broken sword, and asked with his hands on his hips,

"Can it be fixed?"

The topic shifted to the problem of restoration, and Oak quickly raised his head, showing a complacent and playful smile.

"Leave it on me."

Oak was very serious during the restoration process, and Di Ke didn't care about the momentary calm atmosphere, just quietly looking at the starry sky.

The person who could call him out has disappeared, and Dick almost forgot when was the last time he could see the night sky like this.

Time...how long has it passed?

When did you let sadness take over your smile?Oklahoma.

Dike sighed, even though he was just a goblin who only lived on the sword, after all, the sword is the knight's closest companion, so he is not completely ignorant of what happened to his deceased master.

Even in a world where he cannot be summoned to appear, he still cherishes himself as a treasure.

At this time, he could see Oak again, and he couldn't help but miss the dangerous but happy adventure memories.

"Hey, Dick."

Oak called out, his eyes didn't move away from the broken sword, he put his hand on the gemstone, as if giving energy, he didn't heave a sigh of relief until the broken part also glowed with light, The hands didn't stop moving.

"..." Di Ke looked at the puppet lying aside, and then looked at him, "What's the matter?"

"How's the kid?" Oak asked with a slight smile. "Is he a nice guy?"

Knowing who he was talking about, Di Ke looked at his side face and sighed helplessly, "You have already made up your mind."

"Yeah." In response, Oak did not deny it, and then raised his eyes to look at him, "but you are his closest partner."

"Good-looking, popular, exactly the same as Leilis?"

"..."

Oak raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a slight smile.

"Hey, all right."

After thinking for a while, Di Ke raised his head and looked again at the dark night full of twinkling stars.

"Aptitude, the ability is not inferior to Leilis, but the experience is too little." Di Ke said lightly, "But he is upright, and..."

"……and?"

"With the determination to sacrifice his life for the sake of important people, and he did."

"..."

"Without hesitation, I pushed that thin child away, and suffered huge damage from the lost magic all by myself."

Di Ke withdrew his gaze, he looked at Oak, and the expression on his face had other meanings.

Apparently Oak also understood, after a while, the corners of his mouth seemed to be raised, and his eyes were full of helplessness.

"Even now, I am still protected by him, even his descendants, guarding that child."

"..."

Di Ke blinked and didn't say anything, but just looked away.

Oak was right.

Whether it was hundreds of years ago or now after a long time, they are still the ones who are protected.

And the two masters who owned him, whether it was Leilis or Fujikawa, passed on the strongest feelings to him, and they all caused strong reactions from time to time to protect someone important.

It is precisely because of this that they can be strong——

At the same time, it is also easy to fall into tragedy.

It fell into a silent night again, and neither of them continued to speak.

A few days later, Kita Mimon and Fujikawa were still immersed in the joy of reunion, and the sweet appearance every day almost bored Gran to death.

Especially after Bei Yumen came back, Fujikawa didn't intend to stop the habit of fighting with him every day, but this was a disguised display of affection!

"Does it really not hurt?" Kita Mimon looked worriedly at the scratches on Fujikawa's face, "It's all bleeding."

"It's a small injury, it's okay."

"That's right! I'll use healing magic to heal you!"

"No." Fujikawa resolutely refused, "You just woke up not long ago, magic should be delayed."

"But I'm worried about you..."

"I'm worried about you too."

"..."

Unable to listen any longer, Gran quickly changed back to human form, "Enough of you!"

He actually wanted to yell at the two of them in the form of a dragon, but the consequence of doing so would definitely lead to a severe beating from Lien. After all, this place was near his home, so Lien's beloved garden would definitely suffer if he yelled deliberately.

"Really, I can hardly listen anymore."

Gran complained dissatisfiedly, Fujikawa's face was just a slight scratch!Scratch!

Just now, the force that Fujikawa slashed against his body was several times stronger than the scratches!No matter how strong his body is, it still hurts a little!

"Aren't you just recovering from a serious illness? Go back and rest for me."

"Hey, don't—" Kita Mimon pursed his lips, "I've been healed a long time ago!"

"Is that so? Then..."

"Gran, what are you doing?"

Gran wanted to say something, but Lean's voice interrupted him.

He walked slowly to Gran's side, frowned and said, "Didn't you bully Beiyumen? His body is just right."

"How can I bully—"

"That's right, don't bully me, I'm injured."

"..."

Who the hell said that he was all right just now—!

Gran was annoyed, rolled his eyes and stopped talking, this behavior made Bei Yumen smile.

He finally understood why Herro liked to bully people. It turned out that seeing the other party being used by him to get angry was not bad.

Seeing that they stopped talking, Lean patted Gran on the shoulder, and then watched Fujikawa and Kita Mimon speak,

"Go back, Oak is waiting for us."

"..."

Hearing Oak's name, that sad smile appeared in front of Beiyumen again, and the strange dream he had before waking up tightened his heart for a short moment.

why?what does it feel like...

After spending several days in the Dragon Clan, Bei Yumen really wanted to see Oak, after all, he always saw his lonely profile.He couldn't bear it, but he didn't know why.

His smile is very warm, as warm as the sun, but why is it so sad?

Bei Yumen suddenly remembered that Fujikawa once said that even if his grandfather smiled, it was not a matter of smiling...

"Oak!"

As soon as he entered the door, Bei Yumen opened his mouth first, arousing Oak's attention.

"Hello, Fujikawa, Kita Mimon." Seeing that they came back, Oak greeted them with a smile, "There are also Lean and Gran."

"..." Lean raised his eyebrows and teased, "Are we affiliated?"

"How come?" Oak tilted his head, and then came to Bei Yumen, "Is there any abnormality in your body?"

"No." Bei Yumen was very happy to see Oak, he shook his head, "everything is fine, thank you."

Oak smiled, a little helpless.

Glancing at Fujikawa who was standing beside Bei Yumen, Oak said apologetically,

"I'll talk to you guys later, can you lend me Fujikawa first?"

"..."

Kita Mimon blinked, and took Fujikawa's hand, "Will you return it to me?"

Seemingly surprised by Beiyumen's reaction, Oak was stunned for a while before he couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, don't worry."

With permission, Fujikawa followed Oak to Lean's study.

Before Oak could say anything, he took out the repaired Dick and handed it to Fujikawa.

"Dick is fine."

"It's fixed?"

Fujikawa quickly took it, and what he saw after removing the cloth was indeed a perfect Di Ke, without any trace of breakage, and it was even more shiny.

He sighed a little at first, and then gently stroked Di Ke's sword.

"sorry."

He murmured softly, although it was to protect Bei Yumen, he still blamed himself for breaking his grandfather's important sword in two.

Seeing his self-reproach, Oak sighed with a smile, "Dick is very happy that you became his master."

"..." Hearing this, Fujikawa raised his head, "How do you know?"

"The elf of the sword resides in this sword, and his name is Dike." Oak curled his lips, "The person who gave you this sword should have said that, right?"

"what……"

Indeed, it was mentioned in Grandpa's diary.

It's just that he never saw Di Ke actually appear in front of him or talk to him once, so he was inevitably a little bit disappointed.

"Don't make that expression, wait until you get closer to Dick, and one day you will be able to materialize him."

"..."

There was doubt in Fujikawa's eyes, Oak closed his eyes, and continued to speak without waiting for him to speak.

"Can you tell me who is yours who gave you this sword?"

"...It's my grandfather." Fujikawa said honestly, "It's not counted as a gift. After he passed away, I took it myself."

"I see." Oak smiled and walked to the window, "Grandpa..."

After a while, Oak clenched his fists, and he looked back at Fujikawa.

"Then, did he have a good time in that world?"

"..."

Fujikawa was silent for a long time, he saw a trace of fear in Oak's eyes, even though he hid it well.

He still knew that Oak was not a bad person, and even, that attitude seemed to make up for something.

He put Dike away well, and although he hesitated, he still decided to admit it.

"Not exactly." Fujikawa said lightly,

"It was a pleasure to have him grow up with me. He gave me a wonderful childhood, but he still has things to worry about. Everyone knows that he is not really happy."

"..." Oak frowned, and Fujikawa noticed that his fists were clenched even more tightly, "He's worried about something, isn't he?"

"Yes." Fujikawa looked straight at him, "He was still worried about the monarch who was more important than his life until the end of his life."

"..."

Ouk gritted his teeth and turned his head. He looked out of the window and squeezed his hands on the window sill. Although it was very small, Ouk's body was trembling due to the exertion.

Not long after, Oak suddenly let go of his hand, and he said slowly,

"Would you...would hate his lord?"

Since Fujikawa knows so much, he must know something about what Leilis has experienced, or know it in detail.

"If I can meet God one day, I will ask him why he abandoned such a loyal knight."

Fujikawa said decisively, "But I won't hate him."

"why?"

Oak's voice was in a trance, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

Fujikawa didn't care, he answered seriously.

"Because he is the one my grandfather loved deeply."

"..."

"So Oak, do you know that god?"

"...No." Oak's voice was a little trembling, he shook his head, "This world...has long since lost God."

Yes, no matter who they are, they are not qualified to become gods, and they have no right to influence other people's lives.

Fujikawa didn't press too much, seeing Oak's reaction, he just smiled helplessly.

"You're right." Fujikawa sighed softly, "Fin, the oldest Ibis, is planning to establish himself as a god, and we will stop him."

"..."

Oak clenched his hands tightly, muttering softly, "...Fin."

A young face appeared in Oak's mind, and the actions of that young man were recalled one by one like a vivid marquee.

Didn't hear what he was saying clearly, but at this moment Fujikawa noticed that the sky outside the window was rarely stained with a layer of gray.

It's thick dark clouds.

It is going to rain?How come, the Dragon Clan has been sunny for the past few months.

Fujikawa looked at Oak, whose head was lowered, and his fists were so hard that they almost turned white. Could it be that——

"Oak!"

"...!"

As soon as Fujikawa made a sound, Oak's shoulders trembled as if he had been frightened, and he immediately regained his senses, and at the same time, those dark clouds dissipated for a moment.

"..." Oak turned his head, with a slight smile, "Sorry."

"Are you OK?"

Fujikawa asked with some hesitation. Didn't he expect that Oakley could change the weather of the Dragon Clan, which means that his power is superior to that of the Dragon Clan?

So isn't it only...

"Okay, let's go out." Oak smiled and was about to go out.

When passing by, Fujikawa made a sound, making him stop.

"May I ask two more questions?"

"..." Oak lowered his head without looking at him, "Okay, you can tell."

"What's the name of grandpa here, can you tell me?"

"Al Rayris." Speaking of his name, Oak frowned, but raised the corners of his mouth, "Lovester's strongest knight."

He knew that his expression at this moment must be extremely ugly, because he couldn't control the emotions that surged up.

"Then, his lord... ever hated him?"

"No, not once."

Oak didn't hesitate, and answered almost immediately, even though his hands had already been bloodstained.

"That monarch actually likes him the most."

"..."

Fujikawa breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his gaze to the blue sky outside the window.

"That's good."

When the two came out, Oak had returned to his usual appearance.

Seeing Bei Yumen's curious expression, Oak walked up to him and smiled softly, "Don't worry, I didn't do anything to him."

"..."

Bei Yumen pursed his lips, "I didn't say anything."

Fujikawa also walked aside, and said leisurely, "Don't worry, I didn't do anything to him."

"...I just said I didn't say anything!"

As soon as Beiyumen exploded, everyone laughed, which made him a little discouraged, so he had to sigh helplessly.

Not to continue making trouble with him, Oak smiled and patted his head.

"I just brought something to Fujikawa." As he said, Oak looked at Fujikawa, "By the way, thank him for protecting you."

"..."

A little confused, but Bei Yumen didn't ask.And when Fujikawa met Oak's eyes, his expression suddenly became serious, he took a step back, and he bent slightly towards the crowd.

"I want to thank you all." Fujikawa said sincerely, "Thank you."

Seeing his actions, Bei Yumen was taken aback, and quickly blinked at Oak, "Yes, thank you for saving me, Oak."

"..." Oak paused and shook his head helplessly, "You really don't need to thank me."

"That's right! You should thank us too." Gran interjected, "We brought you back to Dragon Clan!"

"How dare you say that!"

Hearing the words, Beiyumen turned his head to look at Gran with raised eyebrows and narrowed eyes.

"If it weren't for saving a dragon that starved in the human world and was mistaken for an elf, how could we work so hard!"

"That's right." Lean said leisurely, "It's you who should say thank you, Gran."

"...Well, at least I've been taking care of you seriously these days!"

Gran retorted dissatisfiedly, but he was a little guilty under the gaze of everyone, and finally turned his eyes away, and said awkwardly,

"Okay...Okay! Thank you, cough, you guys, really."

"..."

Rin sighed, "It's really dishonest."

"Worry!"

Throughout the morning, several people chatted without saying a word in the living room, which reminded Bei Yumen of the days in Diliejin.Seeing that Oak's smile is not sad now makes him very happy, and the atmosphere is even more pleasant.

"But I didn't expect your hair to be all white in a blink of an eye. I almost didn't scare me to death." Gran said looking at Bei Yumen.

"This means that life is passing very fast." Oak explained, while looking at Bei Yumen, "Don't do this again next time?"

"You can use normal healing magic, but the dark magic part is no longer accessible."

"..." Bei Yumen nodded innocently, "I see."

When he was about to say something, the contact crystal placed on the table suddenly floated up quickly, indicating that there was a communication from the other end.

Bei Yumen took it quickly, and Herro's voice came immediately.

"North Mimon? Fujikawa?"

"We are here!"

"Ah, that's great." Herro seemed a little anxious, he asked, "When are you coming back?"

Kita Mimon and Fujikawa looked at each other, and Fujikawa asked, "What happened?"

"Do you remember the Wangyou Village you visited before?"

"Remember."

Hero stuttered, "There seems to be elves in the northern forests, and the people of Ibis seem to want to catch them."

"..."

Bei Yumen and Fujikawa were shocked, they did know that there was an elf hiding in that forest.

But how would Ibis know?Gu Yiming has been hiding there for a long time!

"how so?"

"Oh, it's a report from Wangyou Village, saying that people from Ibis are forcibly passing through the village."

Hero sighed, "Although it was blocked first, I don't know if the strange structure of Wangyou Forest can really protect that elf."

"So, what do you want us to do?" Fujikawa asked decisively.

"Feilong has already gone to Wangyou Village. I can't send Nuo Jiu there. I believe that Feilong will solve this matter soon, but it also means that Di Liejin will officially encounter conflict with Ibis."

"..."

Kita Mimon and Fujikawa listened quietly, at the same time, Kita Mimon noticed Oak's gloomy face.

"Although I want to let you take a few more days off, but more than seven months is a long time, and Feilong is not here, so I have to explain the current situation to you."

"..."

Fujikawa responded, "I see, I will go back in a few days."

Fortunately, Bei Yumen's body is fine, and he has been fighting with Gran for a long time, and his body's flexibility has almost recovered. It is really not an option to continue to disturb the Dragon Clan.

After agreeing to Hero, the communication was cut off soon, and it could be seen that Hero was very busy.

"When are you going to leave?" Lean asked immediately after hanging up the communication.

"Anything is fine." Fujikawa replied, "The sooner the better."

"Then tomorrow." Lean simply concluded.

At this time, Gran, who was silent on the side after learning that Beiyumen and the others were leaving, suddenly stood up.

"North Royal Gate!"

"...Wh, what?" Bei Yumen was startled.

"You guys..." Gran hesitated for a while, and finally spoke after some hesitation,

"Uh, would you mind having one more diner? No, I have money if you want, let me follow! I want to go to Tillegin too."

"……Aha?!"

As soon as these words came out, two people exclaimed in surprise.

One is Bei Yumen, and the other is Lien.

Seeing the reactions of these people, Oak smiled, and whispered to Fujikawa who was sitting beside Bei Yumen.

"Tomorrow, I have one more thing for you."

"..." Fujikawa frowned, looking puzzled.

But Oak curled his mouth, and his face was a little more sad, even though he was smiling.

"It's what Leilis left here."
