My Love Debts Are Everywhere!-Chapter 496: Memories That Will Last Forever

The fireworks continued for several minutes, with twenty waves of light bursting across the night sky.

Only when the final explosion faded did Charlotte, Iris, Fiona, Stella, Liliana, and Lyra snap out of their daze.

In unison, they turned to Leon, their faces filled with shock, awe, and a mix of emotions they couldn’t quite put into words.

Just then, Fiona’s eyes sparkled as she excitedly exclaimed, "Daddy, that was amazing! Was this the surprise you prepared?"

Leon chuckled and gave a small nod. "Yes, that was the surprise. Beautiful, isn’t it?"

"Beautiful!" Charlotte, Iris, and Stella echoed enthusiastically.

It was their first time witnessing such a breathtaking display. The second explosion, where the words Happy New Year lit up the sky, made the spectacle feel even more magical.

"Was that magic? But… I didn’t sense any mana fluctuations," Liliana asked, a hint of confusion in her voice.

The explosions closely resembled magic. At first, she had assumed they were, but upon closer inspection, she realized there wasn’t a single trace of mana involved.

Besides, Leon was a hero, and he had no mana circuits in his body. So how had he done it?

"No, it’s not magic," Leon replied casually. "I used chemistry to create an explosion that looks like magic."

"Chemistry?" Liliana frowned, then glanced at Lyra beside her. "Do you know what chemistry is?"

Lyra’s expression remained flat as she shook her head. "I don’t know, Your Highness."

Seeing their confusion, Leon couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Chemistry is a field of knowledge that studies elements and substances. It’s quite complex and takes time to fully understand. But in simple terms, I combined different materials to create an explosion that mimics magic."

Liliana raised an eyebrow as she listened. The "chemistry" Leon spoke of sounded fascinating, and she found herself wanting to learn more.

However, since Leon didn’t seem eager to elaborate, she decided not to press further.

Turning his attention back to the four little girls, Leon smiled. "The surprise isn’t over yet. I have something else prepared for you."

The four exchanged excited glances, their anticipation growing.

Reaching into his pocket, Leon pulled out a medium-sized box.

He opened it and took out six sparkler fireworks, handing one to each of them—Charlotte, Iris, Fiona, Stella, Liliana, and Lyra.

The six stared at the thin iron rods in their hands, curiosity and confusion flickering in their eyes.

"What is this, Your Majesty Leon?" Lyra asked, intrigued.

Leon’s lips curled into a mysterious smile. "Try using a little fire magic on the tip of the rod."

Blinking, Lyra raised her index finger, conjuring a small flame.

Slowly, she brought the flame closer to the tip of the rod.

The moment it made contact, the rod ignited, and golden sparks danced in the air, resembling tiny fireflies flickering and falling.

"Wow! It’s beautiful…" Iris, Fiona, Stella, and Charlotte were both surprised and mesmerized.

Even Lyra and Liliana couldn’t hide their amazement.

Lyra gazed at the cascading sparks, her eyes shining with childlike wonder, as if she had just discovered a new toy.

"Daddy, I want to try it too!" Fiona turned to Leon, shaking the iron rod eagerly.

"Me too!" Charlotte, Iris, and Stella chimed in, just as excited.

Leon chuckled. "Alright." Then, he turned to Liliana. "Can you light theirs?"

Liliana nodded and snapped her fingers. Instantly, the tips of their rods ignited, sending golden sparks flying in mesmerizing patterns.

"Wow! Wow!" Fiona cheered, her hand trembling slightly from excitement.

Liliana watched the sparklers flicker in her grasp and couldn’t help but smile. "It’s beautiful…"

With all the magic she had mastered, creating something like this would have been effortless. Yet, that wasn’t what captivated her.

The warmth, the laughter of the children, and the sense of togetherness made this moment truly precious—one she would cherish forever.

While the others were engrossed in the sparkling fireworks, Leon quietly stepped back a few meters and pulled out a small box.

It functioned like a camera, capable of capturing images, but instead of using batteries, it was powered by magic stones.

The lens wasn’t as advanced as the modern cameras from his previous world, but it was more than sufficient to take clear pictures.

Without drawing attention, he snapped a photo of them laughing joyfully, their hands glowing with cascading sparks.

Glancing at the image, Leon nodded in satisfaction. "This will be a treasured memory that lasts forever…"

...

The next day...

The sun slowly rose, though its light was dimmer than usual due to the winter sky.

Inside his room, Leon, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up.

As the ceiling came into view, his mind gradually cleared.

"Morning already, huh?" He muttered, sitting up.

Turning to the side, he saw Liliana still fast asleep, clad in a casual red dress that draped over her body.

Unlike usual, last night had been peaceful—they had simply slept together, wrapped in each other’s warmth.

Well, he had to admit that intercourse was enjoyable, but indulging too often could lead to monotony, which might eventually strain their relationship. So, he chose to hold back, and fortunately, Liliana agreed.

Just then, Liliana’s eyelids fluttered before slowly opening.

Seeing Leon awake, she smiled and lazily wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Good morning, Leon," she greeted playfully.

"Good morning to you too," Leon replied softly, gently caressing her face.

For a moment, they simply enjoyed each other’s presence before parting.

"I’ll take a shower first," Leon said as he moved to get out of bed.

But before he could, Liliana suddenly hugged him from behind.

"How about we shower together?" she teased.

Leon blinked in surprise but quickly regained his composure, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Alright."

Without giving Liliana a chance to react, Leon swiftly turned around, scooped her up in a princess carry, and stood.

Though surprised, Liliana didn’t resist. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and nestled her face against him.

With that, Leon carried her into the bathroom, beginning their morning bath together.

***

Half an hour later…

Dressed in white bathrobes, they stepped out of the bathroom, soft smiles lingering on their lips.

"Sit on the bed. I’ll dry your hair," Leon said.

Liliana nodded and walked over to the bed, while Leon retrieved a hairdryer from the wardrobe.

Sitting behind her, he gently began drying her hair.

As he ran his fingers through her damp locks, he suddenly recalled doing the same for Fiona just a few days ago.

Neither of them spoke, simply savoring the quiet warmth between them.

Then, as Leon carefully brushed through her hair, he broke the silence.

"By the way, I’ll be leaving for my journey tomorrow."

----------

A/N: Just a reminder, the field of chemistry already existed in that world, and as the Demon Empress, Liliana was quite familiar with it.

However, since Leon used the word "chemistry," a term from the modern language of his previous world, Liliana didn’t recognize it and assumed it was something new.

Well, that’s all—thank you! Oh, and one more thing, don’t forget to show your support!
