Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 555 - 319: The Possibility of Mother and Daughter Meeting, Aina lost her daughter...(5.4k)_3
"The situation was urgent at that time,"
Kureya said casually, "I used the power of a divine strike to deal with the precursors of the Flood Disaster, otherwise, once the transformed flood completely descended, it would have endangered the entire Emerald Forest, so I brought Ilisafia back with me."
Lisiti asked, puzzled, "Then after you dealt with the flood, you could have sent Sasha back out, so why let her stay here?"
A slight twitch crossed Kureya’s face.
Who am I supposed to ask if you ask me?
Anyway, she couldn’t fathom what the Mother Tree was really thinking.
A Variant human, a Variant elf, what’s the use of keeping them here?
To cause me trouble, right?
Last night, she had already successfully caused a little trouble, though fortunately, it wasn’t too serious.
However, Kureya naturally couldn’t say this. After thinking it over, she said, "Sasha has lived here for thirty years, yet has never seen the sights of Emerald City. As her aunt, since I unexpectedly brought her back, letting her stay here for a period of time, to see the city, is not impossible."
"Really?"
Lisiti looked suspiciously at her sister.
Would Kureya be that kind-hearted?
The sun must have risen from the west.
Didn’t she say before that Sasha’s presence was a risk of exposure, and that she could make Sillamere a laughingstock, which is why she banished Sasha in the first place?
Isn’t bringing her back an even greater risk of exposure?
Kureya frowned and said, "Could I possibly deceive you? Sasha is your daughter, and she’s also my niece."
"Hmm..."
Lisiti paused, a hopeful expression appearing in her bright green eyes, "Can I go see her?"
"No."
Kureya refused outright, but seeing Lisiti’s face darken in disappointment, she changed her stance, "At least not now. I made a promise with Sasha, that when the time comes to send her away, I will allow you two to meet. Moreover, things over there are not yet stable; what happened last night could raise suspicions. If you go see Sasha now, those with ulterior motives could possibly link it back to the incident from years ago, Luo E almost guessed it just now."
Lisiti said, "You can send me directly there! That way, no one would notice!"
"But once you’re reunited, would you be willing to let her go again?"
"..."
"You should know that once you two meet, it will be very difficult for you to maintain your current state of mind, but I can’t possibly keep her here forever, unless one day the Mother Tree writes into the Laws that ’Variants’ can legally become citizens of Emerald City."
As Kureya spoke, the physical form of the Emerald Origin suddenly appeared beside her.
Hmm?
A very bad premonition surfaced in her heart.
[Being able to write—]
Write my head off!
Kureya felt like she was going insane.
Why don’t you, Mother Tree, come out and be the Elf Emperor yourself and manage the city?
[Why... reject Variants?]
A fuzzy idea formed in Kureya’s mind as a question.
Why reject them?
This wasn’t the law You initially established...
Wait a moment.
In the original laws, there didn’t seem to be any regulation that Variants couldn’t enter the city. Back then, Variants were called ’those who receive the blood,’ and the first laws only contained provisions for the clearing of ’those who receive the blood’ if their transformation failed.
That was quite normal.
Those whose transformation failed, meaning they neither retained their original form upon ascending Tiers nor transformed into Origin Beasts, becoming irrational monsters instead, should indeed be eliminated promptly.
So, when exactly did the exclusion of Variants begin?
As Kureya thought this, she felt a deep chill emanating from within her. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
It seemed there was some conspiracy she was unaware of.
[To write...]
The voice of the Mother Tree echoed again in Kureya’s mind.
Why was the Mother Tree in such a hurry?
Was it for that human?
Ilisafia?
Since the Mother Tree had already repeated her oracle, Kureya had no choice but to act.
She looked at Lisiti and said, "Lisiti, I understand what you’re thinking, but you’ll have to wait a week. I’ll arrange for you and Sasha to truly meet."
"Ah? What are you going to do?"
Lisiti was utterly confused.
What did that mean?
"Your first task as a Trustee is here."
Kureya said with a stern face, "In a week, convene all the nobles of viscount rank and above, hold the Royal Court’s general meeting that takes place once every fifty years, modify the laws, and allow Variants to become legal citizens."
Lisiti: "???"
She hesitated and then said, "Well, you don’t have to go to that extent, just seeing Sasha a few times would suffice."
Lisiti knew this notion was practically a pipe dream, almost impossible to realize.
Moreover, such matters that touch the very foundations of Emerald City, those dukes and marquesses would definitely attack and oppose it fiercely, and even all the elfkind might object, thinking it’s a ludicrous idea, not to mention humanity might consider it brainless.
Kureya sighed softly and said, "I’m not doing it because I want to... Anyway, if you want to see Ilisha, then find the time to visit her yourself, but it would be best not to reveal your identity for now, as there are really many watching over there."
"Thank you."
"No need for thanks, handle these for me, and consider it your thanks to me."
Kureya took out a stack of papers filled with writing from her own space and stuffed them into Lisiti’s hands. She then got up to leave, her beautiful face showing a triumphant smile.
Now at last she had someone she could trust to do the work.
But as soon as Kureya thought about what she would have to do afterward, she felt a splitting headache coming on.
Mother Tree, what in the world are you thinking?
·
Belgri Town.
They had searched every corner and still couldn’t find Fengling. Wei’er and Aina were nearly frantic with worry.
With a soft voice, Aina asked, "Sister, could Fengling have run off to some other place through the Hollow Flower?"
Wei’er nodded, "It’s possible..."
Although the Hollow Flower had a cooldown of six hours, there were more than the few in the manor around the town, including the original one, there are now a total of four.
So, the sisters went off to Winter City.
But even with Hill’s help, they still couldn’t find anyone.
After brooding at home for six hours, Wei’er and Aina returned to Belgri Town through a Hollow Flower.
Later, they made another trip to Florecia.
Seeing them come again, the Dragon Lady’s attitude had improved quite a bit from her usual aloofness, since they were quite familiar with each other now.
Still, after searching the surrounding areas, there was no trace of the child, and Aina also said she couldn’t smell Fengling.
"Aina has lost her daughter... ugh... Aina is a useless mom..."
The Wolf Eared Lolita sobbed and wiped her tears, wandering amidst the scorching volcanic mountains.
Wei’er also felt very upset.
The child had also called her ’Mama’ once.
Florecia, seeing how distressed the two sisters were, empathized and said, "If I lost Little Luoxi, I’d be very sad too, but don’t worry. The Fengling you’re talking about is so mysterious, she should be okay. Maybe she’s with Little Luoxi now."
Wiping her tears, Aina said, "Brother Luo Xi will be with another woman, it’s definitely that fox; Fengling is so small, how could she possibly go there."
Florecia thought so too.
But she had no good solutions either.
The Dragon Lady glanced at the spot where she had planted the seed of the Hollow Flower.
She had already infused it with Yuan Su, yet until now there were no signs of activation.
It seems she would have to let the sisters go ask Little Luoxi tomorrow.
....
....
I’m contemplating whether to push Wei’er further. With the ’pressure’ from the many female leads, Wei’er should also feel some motivation, otherwise, after finishing this volume with the protagonist and the little fox’s progress increasing, and Cat Cat still being haughty, it would truly become a tale of defeat.
However, the people from the Dream world are indeed replicas of their real bodies; they refresh their state every time, endlessly virgin...that’s so weird.
