Chapter 116 Dark Demon Cannot Choose Between Time and Love
***Edited by Kronost***
Dark poured freshly squeezed apple juice and pear juice into two glasses and served them to Dianna and Rose.
The two little girls already liked the taste of the two juices, so they took the glasses and sipped them without any hesitation.
Dark poured himself a glass of water and asked casually: "So, what do you want to know?"
Dianna: "Of course it's all- Ow!"
Rose jabbed her waist all of sudden and whispered, "Is it over?"
Dark: "It's over for now."
Rose immediately patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
After speaking, she pulled up Dianna, said "good night" and then left.
After Dark sent them out the door, he locked the door again; and then his face darkened slightly.
What happened tonight had actually exceeded his expectations, and he was far from relaxed on the surface.
"It's already a new month."
Next, he was going to check the deadly sin indicator before making some new plans, while his mind was still sober.
But before that, it might be a good idea to take a bath.
Although his hair had been blown dry, he was actually wet from the rain. If he was not careful, he might really need to go to the infirmary tomorrow.
The first day of November was Halloween, and there would be a holiday on Wednesday.
Dark spent half an hour in the bathtub filled with hot water, squinted his eyes, and recalled everything that happened tonight. Suddenly, he remembered that the short-haired girl who had been knocked down by him in the temple seemed to be wearing the same costume as White.
"No way?"
Thinking of what happened to Robert, Dark suddenly had a bad feeling.
...
After washing, Dark dried his hair, wrapped a bath towel, and walked out of the bathroom.
But as soon as he took a step, he immediately jumped back into the bathroom.
"Done washing?" Professor Lily's lazy voice came from the bed in the bedroom.
Dark took a larger bath towel and wrapped himself up before going out to pick up the clothes.
"Professor, breaking into a student dormitory is not something a serious fairy would do."
Professor Lily patted her chest immediately and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I am not a serious fairy."
"Meow, meow~" Cat Grass climbed onto the bed and rubbed its body against her arm.
She held cat grass in her arms, teasing it, and said casually: "Dark, I didn't expect you to be interested in raising a cat?"
Dark: "That's a plant."
Lily: "It's a cat!"
Cat Grass: "Meow!"
Dark took his pajamas and went into the bathroom to change it. After he came out, he said, "So professor, you came so late just to play with the cat?"
Professor Lily concentrated on playing with the cat, ignoring Dark completely.
After a while, she moved to the head of the bed and sat up, put the cat grass on her knees, and beckoned Dark to sit down beside her.
The little fairy always exuded a clear and fresh breath like the wilderness.
Dark sat down beside her, ready to listen to what she was about to say.
Professor Lily whispered softly after calming down: "Dark, have you ever liked someone?"
Dark shook his head.
Professor Lily: "I thought so. You are still so young,"
Dark suddenly said, "What about you?"
Professor Lily proudly said: "Of course I have; I am so old!"
Dark took the opportunity to ask the question he always wanted to ask: "How old are you, professor?"
Professor Lily: "Not very old, only two hundred years old."
Dark calculated roughly, and said in surprise, "Isn't that just babe stage in fairies?"
Lily: "Hey! I'm not a kid, alright!"
Dark: "..."
Professor Lily: "The life spans of you humans are too short. All of you can disappear in a blink of a blink. Ellie is like this, Pudge is like this, and Eminem is also like this..."
Dark: "Who are they?"
Professor Lily: "Ellie was my earliest friend, earlier than Didi! She was really gentle, good at cooking, and the vanilla biscuits made by her were especially delicious. She was about the same height as me, but she could do everything... Sadly, I went home one day, then I never saw her again."
Dark: "What about Pudge?"
"Pudge."
Professor Lily held her cheeks for a while and thought, "He was a butcher. But every time he killed a pig, he would go to the church to confess. I heard that he later married a church nun, gave birth to a baby, and became a doctor."
Dark: "What about Eminem?"
Professor Lily was silent for a while: "Eminem: Eminem was my best friend. He was really amazing. He was very young, but he could use a sword better than me. We registered an adventure team and always went to dangerous places. It was he who saved me every time."
Dark: "An adventure team?"
Professor Lily: "Mhm, a four-person adventure team. Me, Didi, Cazer, and Eminem."
With that said, she drew out a beautiful flower card dotted with blue flowers.
That was the blue enchantress, a very rare blue rose.
Pure love and honest kindness—a blue enchantress symbolised eternal promises.
Professor Lily injected magic energy into the flower card. The blue enchantress bloomed one after another.
As the flowers emerged from the card surface and scattered outward, a face appeared on the card surface.
It was a human teenager with a round face and a sweet smile, like an angel.
Dark had seen it once, on the day when Professor Lily was drunk.
...
The hour was long and the night was dark.
Professor Lily held the flower card and told the story of her and Eminem, Didi, and Cazer.
That was the happiest and most exciting period in her two hundred years of life. It was the period she missed the most.
Timid and kind young swordsman, arrogant and stubborn little fairy mage, mischievous little fairy sage, and goblin alchemist who tried his best to look after them like their parents.
No matter who it was, they had their own strengths and weaknesses.
No matter who it was, they had their own advantages and disadvantages.
Only by taking care of each other and making up for each other's shortcomings could they move forward for a long time.
Obviously, it was only five years, but Lily felt that it was a period of time longer than fifty years.
In the fifth year of travelling together, they relied on a tattered map to find the ancient shrine that had been buried for an unknown period of time in the underground of a no man's forest.
There were various murals carved in the temple, quietly expounding the past.
There were many statues in the depths of the temple.
Some were broken, and some were intact.
Some had been completely abandoned, and some still had traces of divinity remaining.
Until they entered a hall dedicated to the Moon God, they encountered the biggest crisis since the establishment of the team.
After finally breaking through all the obstacles, they triggered the last trace of the divinity of the Moon God.
The four people could only leave the temple if they endured the final test.
The so-called test was to choose between "love" and "time".
Didi chose "Time".
Cazer chose "Love".
Lily chose "Love".
Eminem chose "Time".
...
Dark took away the cat grass and covered Lily's body with a quilt.
