Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3913 No way!

Rainy day, Hutton Mar Estate.

In the dry and warm living room, on a craft table in the corner, there were several needles of different sizes, many threads and fabrics of different colors, as well as some unfinished products and broken dolls. The little witch Imi sat cross-legged to the side, doing her handicrafts.

Crazy Bear wears a checkered apron to keep it clean and leather gloves on its paws. It walks around the house, sometimes carrying a dry rag, sometimes passing by with a plate, and sometimes even carrying a trash can full of bones.

Actually, no one forced Crazy Bear to do any housework. Let it rest. Making a magical teddy bear do housework would make everyone seem lazy.

But perhaps it's used to doing housework in the dark mansion of the Doll Forest, and it can't stay idle. It will find things to do on its own, so everyone has customized some housework tools for it.

"We're back."

Before the door even opened, Yue Na's helpless voice came from the doorway:
"We decided to go shopping on a cloudy day, betting that it wouldn't rain for the next two hours."

Imi glanced out the window. The rain was pouring down, pounding on the ground, and it hadn't stopped for an hour. Clearly, Huanglianpo and the others had made the wrong bet.

Despite her grumbling and her clothes and hair being partially soaked by the rain, the old woman didn't show any displeasure on her face; instead, she wore a bright smile.

"Old hag, where's the fabric I asked for?" Yimiwu stretched out her hand. She could easily find some fabric to sew new dolls, but repairing old ones required matching the existing fabric. Fortunately, she was missing a certain color.

"Here you go." Yue Na handed over a handbag containing fabric that the little witch needed, as well as other odds and ends.

"Hey shorty, why don't you hang a whole teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll-shaped ornament) on the window? This rain doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon."

Without looking up, Imiwu opened her handbag and rummaged through it for the fabric she needed, saying expressionlessly:

"Then you might as well hang Sister Xiaoyu or Ganlin on the window."

"Wait a minute... Mrs. Yellow Face, did you give me the wrong bag?"

The handbag didn't contain the fabric she needed, but rather a warm-colored T-shirt. As a wealthy young girl, Yimi Wu automatically ignored the price tag, glanced at the size of the shirt, and was stunned for a moment after seeing it.

“XXXL…You old hag, you actually bought this kind of oversized T-shirt.” Imiwu quickly pulled out the shirt, shook it, unfolded it, and then burst into a mocking laugh:
"Hahaha, old hag, have you been too idle this summer and eaten too much? You've gained a lot of weight, and now your clothes don't fit anymore and you can only buy plus sizes."

Immediately, Yimiwu flashed close to Yuena, her little hands reaching out to lift her clothes, trying to find the expected belly fat, and then vigorously mocking the old woman.

However, when Yue Na's abdomen was suddenly exposed, it was smooth and white, with a slender waist, delicate skin like solidified cream, and clear, clean abs. There was absolutely no sign of her body gaining weight.

"Snapped!"

Yuena slapped away Yimiwu's hand, her eyes looking down at her with disdain, and said:

"You country bumpkin from the demon realm, you have no sense of propriety at all! Can't you wear plus-size clothes?"

"Oh, I forgot, you shorty, you really can't wear plus-size clothes, after all, you're only 1.5 meters tall."

Yuena didn't waste any more words with Yimiwu. She rummaged through the shopping bags, handed her the one containing the fabric, and then carried the oversized T-shirt upstairs.

After a while, when Yue Na reappeared, she had changed into that oversized T-shirt, paired with casual shorts and ordinary sandals.

The hem of the plus-size T-shirt is long enough to cover the casual shorts underneath, creating a slightly alluring effect of not wearing pants and revealing a pair of straight and slender legs. This creates a cool and slightly sexy style.

Who says clothing has to fit perfectly?

Yuena, having gained an absolute advantage, smiled smugly and said:
“You definitely can’t dress like that, you shorty, you can’t wear an oversized t-shirt as a dress.”

Imi deliberately curled her lip and let out a very disdainful "tsk". That wretched old woman, she even put on an act for her.

Soon, she came up with a new plan and said in a serious tone:

"The weather is getting colder, and you still buy short-sleeved t-shirts? Are you out of your mind?"

The hottest weather is over, and from now on, each autumn rain will bring a chill, so it's time to start wearing thicker clothes.

"Fool."

Yuena wagged her finger at the little witch and smiled:

"Precisely because summer is over, we should seize this last opportunity to wear the clothes we like. And because it's time to change seasons, summer clothes are on sale and much cheaper."

"Shorty, you've been to the land of wisdom, how come you haven't made any progress at all?"

Just as the two were bickering as usual, they saw Mo Mei carrying a tarpaulin outside. She wasn't going to cover anything; she just casually placed it on a frame made of a few bamboo poles.

Those bamboo poles were originally used to support the green beans, but as the weather turned cold and the seasons changed, the green bean leaves withered noticeably, the flowers became sparse, and they could no longer produce green beans.

"Listen."

Mo Mei made a listening gesture. The raindrops fell on the tarpaulin, making a pattering sound that, far from being noisy, created a unique sense of peace and warmth.

Rain poured down outside the window, but the room was warm and cozy; the contrast between the two environments created a sense of comfort.

"I even had the urge to squat under the tarpaulin for a while," Imiwu muttered before sitting back down, finding new fabric, taking out scissors, and starting her handiwork again.

After Yue Na sat down, they did handicrafts together, occasionally exchanging a few words with Yi Mi Wu.

…………

At almost the same time, the twilight on a rainy day is darker than on a sunny day. At the school gate, Herder, dressed in casual clothes, picked up Akko after school.

Most of the time, Herder picks Akko up from school by herself. She has two bodies, one for work and one for taking care of the child, which is just right.

If both bodies are busy, then ask Alice or someone else to pick up Akko.

Akko, holding a pretty little flowery umbrella, excitedly told Herder about what had happened at school that day. Although she was the eldest and most mature of the four sisters, she was still a child at heart.

"Mom, today the teacher told us a story about a hero and a demon, and she even gave us books."

Back in her home in the Demon Realm, Akko quickly pulled out a comic book from her bag, opened it, and vividly recounted the contents of each panel: the demon destroyed buildings and burned farmland, which was extremely hateful. The hero and his teammates stood up to fight against it. During the battle, the hero was scratched on the back by the demon's claws, and his teammates were cursed by evil magic, with dark red curse symbols appearing on their bodies, putting them in a very dangerous situation.

But in the end, the hero and his teammates, with their unwavering will and immense power, defeated the terrifying demon and won the victory. Akko was reading a children's book; the hero and the demon had no real-world basis, primarily intended to entertain children and subtly influence their values ​​regarding justice.

The head coach, Hilder, who was also the original body, listened to the story of the hero and the demon with Akko. Afterwards, he frowned slightly, looked coldly at a closed room, and cast a wisp of his will over it.

Immediately, the second coach, who was in a dejected forward bend, ignored Ye Lin's astonished expression, pushed him away from behind, and walked away, maintaining a calm and indifferent expression throughout.

"Wait, you're just leaving like this..." Ye Lin stretched out his hand helplessly.

While doing her homework, Akko asked, "Diligen, how are my friends today?"

The lucky three-tailed cat opened the door with its paws, took elegant cat steps, nestled behind Akko and pretended to sleep, its three tails swaying gently, sniffing the pleasant magic on Akko's body, and then showing a comfortable and satisfied expression.

If it weren't for the fact that it's a female cat, one would seriously suspect that there might be something wrong with it.

Following behind was Diligern, an energy being with the beautiful demeanor of a mature woman. She was the "keeper" of the zoo, and nodded, saying:
"Your friends are all doing well today, eating and playing normally."

"Ako~"

Feeling refreshed after "assassinating" the apostle, Ye Lin appeared with a cake and placed it next to Ya Ke.

"Dad, come help me with my homework!"

Xiaoya smiled and patted the spot next to her; there was still room.

Outside the door, a brightly colored bird, about the size of a peacock, passed by. It peeked inside and glanced at Ye Lin with a hint of hatred before quickly looking away.

Suddenly, when Ya Ke tilted her head, she saw a wound on Ye Lin's neck behind his collar. She was shocked and quickly stood up and pulled up his clothes, revealing most of his bloody back covered with wounds, as if he had been cut by something sharp.

Upon seeing this, the second coach instinctively pulled her hands behind her back; there were still traces of blood that hadn't been cleaned from under her fingernails.

"Dad, so you're the hero!" Akko exclaimed, flipping through her comic book and pointing to the page where the hero was injured.

"Ah... Your dad may be the strongest adventurer, but this comic has nothing to do with me. The wound on your back was inflicted by your mom..." Ye Lin thought silently. Of course, he couldn't say such things to his child.

"Mom, so you're the hero's teammate!" Akko exclaimed in surprise, pointing to Hilder's neck, collarbone, and slightly open chest, all marked with red "curse" symbols.

Ye Lin smiled and stroked Ya Ke's soft hair, explaining that he wasn't the hero. He showed her closely, noting that the wounds on his back were different.

"However, Dad is also a hero, and the scar on his back has quite a story behind it."

Akko blinked her bright eyes: "Huh?...The curse symbol on Mommy's body?"

Ye Lin glanced at his masterpiece and laughed under Hilder's warning gaze: "That's because she has an allergy, um, an allergy. She ate something that she shouldn't normally eat."

…………

After helping Ya Ke finish her homework and have dinner, Ya Ke still has some time to play with her friends. Besides, she has the weekend off tomorrow and doesn't have to go to school, so it's okay for her to stay up a little later.

On Akko's left shoulder stood the gentle Hakomi, and on her right shoulder was the cat-like Niagu. She herself rode on the Lucky Three-Tailed Cat, with the brightly feathered bird flying overhead, moving as fast as the wind.

Before going to bed that night, Ye Lin told Ya Ke a bedtime story and expressed her desire for the magic lantern. In exchange, Ya Ke could make a request to either Ye Lin or Hilder, such as if there was anything she wanted.

He didn't try to coax Yako, like by buying her a new one, nor did he secretly take it away or quietly replace it with a source fire of the same level... Instead, he directly told her that he needed the flame from the lantern.

Then, Yako pouted, rolled over, and snorted, "Daddy spends too little time with Yako, Yako doesn't want to switch."

Once Yako was asleep, Ye Lin quietly closed the door and left.

Herder's voice sounded softly behind him, tinged with mockery, and said:
"The Dragon King's will is reviving. That lamp can have simple conversations with Akko, which is why she is reluctant to exchange it with you."

As for Ya, she might think her mother didn't know the secret of the magic lantern, but little did she know that Hilder's eyes had been silently watching everything all along.

"recovery?"

Ye Lin was slightly surprised. There should be no soul in Bakal's primordial fire. The Dragon King perished in the ancient celestial mechanical revolution. Although he left behind a legacy, his body and soul were destroyed.

All the Bakkars have perished; no living individuals remain.

"It may be a remnant soul in the primordial fire, which has shown a slight sign of revival due to the combined influence of the lucky three-tailed cat and the divine beast Fuzhu. However, it is insignificant and no different from being dead."

Both divine beasts possess extremely strong luck and have both had instances of changing fate. They often appear around Akko, and it is estimated that they have been tainted by Bakal's primordial fire, causing Akko to revive.

Ya Ke was unwilling to give him the primordial fire, and Ye Lin did not force her now. He could slowly persuade her and have her biological mother do ideological work.

Herder smoothed her beautiful hair, her tear-stained eyes gleaming with captivating charm, and asked calmly, "What do you intend to do by helping the Apostle regain his peak condition?"

“I think…” Ye Lin pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled smugly:

"Don't tell you."

The bad woman was a riddle person in the past, always speaking in a vague and ambiguous way. Each time she used seemingly profound language, she only revealed a tiny bit of information that seemed useful but was actually useless.

Now he wants revenge.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Herder's eyes as she said indifferently:

"Believe it or not, I'll beat up your daughter to vent my anger."

"Are you human?!"

midnight.

The bird, whose eyes had been acting strange since daytime and which slept in the tree at night, suddenly bristled with feathers and flapped its wings. Just as it was about to cry out, Ye Lin grabbed its long neck, forcing all its sounds back down its throat.

"You pheasant, you really won't change your ways." Ye Lin lifted the "pheasant" a long way away like a goose, threw it casually on the ground, and looked down at it.

"Roble, if it weren't for Akko's kindness in taking you back, you would probably have been killed by fate."
