Chapter 1524 Good Night, Rebirth in the Fire of the Red Moon

Some time later, Fontaine.

Krevy tried her best to suppress her inner excitement, pulled Jiang Yi by the hem of his clothes, and came to the cake shop.

"Hmm... I forgot. It's so late, the cake shop has been closed for a long time." Jiang Yi had changed back into his detective outfit and rubbed his brows.

The lights illuminate the closed shops on the street, and the bustling commercial street is particularly deserted at this moment.

Occasionally, a shadow would flash by.

It is a nocturnal creature that can climb walls and run on rooftops, a clever and agile cat that can catch mice.

The night is a paradise for some creatures.

There was a slight noise coming from the trash can.

Krevy was a little disappointed, but there was nothing she could do about it.

It's already twelve o'clock.

"There is another way..." Yandora said.

Jiang Yi nodded: "That's right. Now it's time for the bread gourmet to show his skills."

"Krevy, come back to the hotel with me first!"

"But your identity cannot be registered for the time being. We need to keep it secret."

brush!

After climbing in through the hotel window and sending Krevi into the room, Jiang Yi and Yandora swaggered into the hotel lobby.

It took two minutes to get in.

But he found that Krevie was sitting on the sofa with her knees hugged, looking around with a somewhat uneasy expression. After hearing the noise, she quickly hid behind the sofa.

I only breathed a sigh of relief when I saw it was Jiang Yi and Yan Duola.

A frightened bird... this word came to Yandora's mind.

Jiang Yi walked over, squatted down and hugged the other person: "It's okay, you won't be caught."

At this moment, they had already left Klevi's memory and arrived at the real Fontaine. The transformation of the scene was completed silently while they were on the way.

Klevi forced a smile. Only when she was with this Phantom Thief could she relax and forget the shadows in her memory.

Such a short wait turned out to be so painful.

The moment of freedom she gained shattered the strength she had shown in her constant resistance in the Hearth House.

Because she cherished too much... the escape at this moment.

Yandora went to the kitchen: "Flour, eggs, butter...every ingredient is available."

These ingredients were bought by Paimon before, so that Chef Ying could learn how to cook Fontaine's delicacies. Then, he could cook them for himself anywhere.

"Let's have a chocolate-flavored cake!" Yandora remembered the cake that the Water God gave her at noon. It tasted pretty good.

"Then Clavi, you sit here for a while." Jiang Yi touched the other person's head.

"Not Kotori?" Clavi looked up. "Also, the solution you mentioned is... to cook a cake for me personally?"

"It doesn't matter at home, just call us by that name in front of outsiders..." Jiang Yi said, "Besides...what's wrong? Don't you trust our craftsmanship?"

"No...no!" Krevy lowered her head, thinking. Family...outsiders...

"Then just wait patiently for a while!" Jiang Yi took out the egg beater.

Krevy looked at the busy Mr. Phantom Thief and Yandora.

"I...I'll help too!"

She felt embarrassed to just sit there, and she felt uneasy because she couldn't see the people in the kitchen from here.

“It doesn’t make sense to let the person who eats birthday cake make the cake. You’d better sit down!” Jiang Yi said with a smile.

"It's okay for me to watch from the side, right? And shouldn't the birthday person's request be put first?" Clavi's eyes widened and her nose wrinkled slightly.

I'm not a real child. The children in the Hearth House are much more precocious.

"Well... okay. You watch from the side..." Jiang Yi said.

In the bright kitchen, it was very quiet, with only the sounds of pouring egg whites and stirring batter.

Turn on the oven to preheat.

Grease the mold with butter.

Jiang Yi and Yandora worked quickly. It didn’t take long for them to close the oven and wait for the cake to be done.

"After about half an hour, you can take it out to cool, remove it from the mold, and then add cream to the cake, decorate it with fruit, make flowers with melted chocolate, and write "Happy Birthday" on it."

Time was tight, so the cake was not complicated and can be considered a home-made one.

Waiting time, return to the living room.

As a first-class hotel in Fontainebleau, it is naturally equipped with the "Jade Vision Machine" of Fusheng Technology Rune Company, which sounds very similar to the "Oracle Machine" of the opera house.

In fact, it is the "Fusheng Technology version of TV".

The walls are decorated with black jade-colored gems, which unfold into a blue screen that changes color and connects to signals. It can play various videos on the "Internet", which is equivalent to a large and fixed jade slip.

"What is this?" Krevy had never seen it in Hearth House.

In fact, there are many such "advertising screens" in Fontaine, which are the result of the efforts of Fusheng Technology Rune Company. After the installation of the largest screen, the first video played was a drama performed by the water goddess Funina, which directly ignited the screen market.

"A technological product..." Jiang Yi began to explain to Krevi the world outside the "Fireplace House".

Krewe was stunned. Wasn't it said that Zhidong was the most powerful industrial country? The company in Liyue... was it so powerful?

Yandora showed the jade slip to Krewei.

As for giving Krewei the jade slip, let's wait a few days! Wait until she is more receptive to this world.

Watching the video, time passed quickly.

Jiang Yi left Yandora to accompany Krewei, and went to the kitchen to complete the remaining steps of making the cake.

"Seven years old, should we put seven candles on the cake?" He brought out the cake and looked at Krevy.

"No, eight. I'm one year older today." Krevy looked at the lit candlelight and truly felt the imagined atmosphere of "home".

She blew out the candle gently, hoping that such a time would not pass away, that she could find a good friend, and that the brothers and sisters of the Hearth House could escape from the darkness one day...

She has so many wishes in her heart that one birthday cannot contain them all.

The cake was delicious.

It is a delicious taste and happiness that will be remembered for a lifetime.

It was already past one in the morning.

After brushing her teeth, Klevi held the two dolls that celebrated her birthday with her, a rabbit-like doll and a red girl doll, opened the window, and looked at the night sky of Fontaine.

The galaxy is still the same galaxy, and the moon is still the same moon, but they are different after all.

"At first no one believed me, so I told my thoughts to the moon." She told the unfinished story in the Hearth House, as herself, as that little girl.

"Every day, the most I can do is to open the window and look at the starry sky that symbolizes freedom and the bright moon."

"I often wonder, in their eyes, is what I do ridiculous? Compared to this hopeless resistance, it is easier to live in a beautiful dream."

“I often wonder what I should do…”

"I know that 'Mother' spared my life not out of kindness, but to slowly torture me and let others know the consequences of betrayal. The more this happens, the more I will resist and the more I cannot give up."

"Mother hopes to choose the best king among her children through fighting one after another."

"I know a man who can be 'king'."

"That's Pepe—"

"The only exception is him, who is the same age as me, but smarter than me. He easily saw through my mother's plan and also knew the truth about Hearth House."

"We agreed that when we grow up, we will go to see the northern lights in winter together."

She looked back weakly. The struggle with her mother was full of pressure for a seven-year-old child. The tension of escaping, the expectation of the future, the worry about the pursuers, all turned into exhaustion at this moment.

"I usually close the windows when the wind blows."

"Because the wind blowing through the corridors and halls will alarm the adults on patrol."

In the comfortable atmosphere, her eyelids felt slightly heavy.

"Now, have I finally escaped from there?"

"If this is a dream... then it is also very... happy."

She fell asleep on the windowsill, hugging two dolls.

After listening to the girl's past, Jiang Yi walked forward, picked her up, put her in the bedroom next door, and Yandora closed the window.

Listen to each other's sleep talking.

"I didn't expect, Yandora, that you are the pure water spirit in the Fontaine legend!" Krevy closed her eyes and smiled faintly, "...Mr. Phantom Thief, Mr. Phantom Thief... I don't think I know your name yet? Do I call you Phantom Thief in front of others? There is no need to disguise myself."

"...My name is..." Jiang Yi spoke slowly in her ear, then covered her with a thin blanket.

Leave this room.

Yandora finally perked up.

Ignore the guardian Yaksha who has no sense of existence, it’s time to be alone.

She hugged Jiang Yi's arms with both hands and buried her whole body in the soft bed, as if she was about to turn into water.

Jiang Yi looked at Yandora sleeping with her shoulders exposed and her pajamas sliding down, and held his forehead with his hand.

"Good night." He said softly, meditating on the bed.

Time, space, fate, and cause and effect slowly ripple. The boundless sea, the whale, the magnificent music, the golden holy sword, the countdown to doomsday...

An hour and a half later.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

Yandora was sleepy. As an angel, she should go and open the door, but she didn't want to move. Who could do that at this time?

Jiang Yi opened his eyes and thought about unlocking the door.

Krevy poked her head in and pushed the door open.

"Sorry, can I sleep with you?" She found it a little difficult to say. She was having a sweet dream in the dark room, but soon, her memories of the past surged and turned into a nightmare that woke her up.

Then I couldn't sleep anymore.

So we came to the room over here.

It was just unexpected that Yandora and Mr. Kaitou slept in the same bed? Like brother and sister.

"..." Yan Duola's legs were wrapped around Jiang Yi's legs. Why is it so difficult to be alone with Jiang Yi? I don't want to agree at all. Go find your Pepe.

"..." Jiang Yi thought about it and felt that the other party's current psychological state should be dependence after being frightened. Even if he accompanied him today, he might not need him in two days.

"I'll take that as your consent..." Krevie was wearing the red dress with white sleeves. Before going to bed, Jiang Yi and Yandora did not help her take off her clothes.

The girl took off her shoes, sat on the bed, and slept next to Jiang Yi, keeping a fist's distance from him.

Why not go to Yandora's side? If Yandora moves, she might be squeezed under the bed.

Because Jiang Yi slept in the middle of the bed, as if this was the space reserved for another person.

It can just sleep one person.

There were also three...four pillows on the bed.

It seemed like the scent of a girl... The knowledge taught by the Hearth House flashed through her mind, but Krevy did not find any girl's hair.

Krevy still held the doll in her hands.

"It's almost dawn, let's go to bed early!" Jiang Yi sighed helplessly.

I wonder if Ying will be surprised when she comes back and sees that her place has been occupied by another girl.

"Yeah!" Krevy nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
