Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 99 Will Bernadette, a family of three?
Will, who was about to squeeze a handful of wool, sent Hastur to Queens as soon as he got in the car.

There are many nobles in that place, and the ice cream sold in the store is the best. His parents usually only take him to the East District.

The ice cream in the East District tastes average, far less delicious than the ice cream sent by the Hastato people.

For Will's small request, Hastur naturally did not refuse.

After all, raising a mercury snake is also a very interesting thing.

How much does a mere ice cream cost him.

But it turns out that he was wrong, very wrong.

Ice cream looks like a small portion, but the ice cream sold in big stores costs a few soli!

If it is more luxurious, it should be calculated in gold pounds.

Will is small and thin, but he eats ice cream, choosing the expensive ones and serving one after another.

That stomach seemed to be a bottomless pit, I ate a lot, but it didn't bulge.

“It’s been a long time since I ate so happily!”

Will held a piece of ice cream in each hand, and while licking it, he closed his eyes comfortably, feeling very happy.

Hasta persuaded politely: "Children's stomach is easy to catch cold, eating too much ice cream is not good for your physical development."

"I'm no ordinary kid."

"Don't you want to pay attention to letting nature take its course and be an ordinary child?"

"Occasionally, you need to take a vacation for yourself."

While speaking, Will had already finished two servings of ice cream worth 10 soli and 6 pence in his hand, and took Hasta to another ice cream shop.

Hastur silently followed behind, ready to pay. Seeing that Will had a good time eating, he also bought an ice cream for himself.

Will leaned over and asked, "How does it taste? I think this strawberry ice cream is better."

"The chocolate version is more delicious. This strawberry is too sweet, and it's a bit greasy if you eat too much."

"Chocolate is a little bitter."

"Bitter first and then sweet. Only with the stimulation of bitterness can the sweetness be more prominent and richer in aroma."

Hastur had a serious discussion with Will about which ice cream tasted better.

One big and one small walking on the street, like a father with his son.

Hastur always smiled kindly whenever passers-by cast such gazes.

Will pouted at that, disapprovingly.

Who stipulated that two people, one big and one small, must be father and son?

Couldn't it be the Snake of Destiny and his professional breeder?
When they passed outside a newly opened restaurant, Will stopped and walked over to Hastur.Lowering her voice, she said, "Bernadette is here too, be careful."

Bernadette is here too?

This is really fate, Backlund is still very big, even Queens is not small, to be able to meet on the street can only be described as fate.

"Can she spot you?"

"She'll just treat me like a normal kid unless I want her to know."

Will licked the ice cream again as he spoke, with a slight smile on his face.

Bernadette is carrying the Wheel of Destiny card, which is the Tarot card of the path of fate, which should have been automatically assigned to him and the stupid snake.

But in order to protect Bernadette, Roselle specially left this card to her, so as to protect her fate.

Bernadette herself is not an Extraordinary of the Destiny Path, the effect she can exert is limited, and there is still a long way to go from him.

"Then pretend you didn't find her."

Hastur knew it well, so he didn't have any scruples, and took Will directly into this newly opened restaurant.

If you just turn around and leave, it will be more likely to arouse Bernadette's suspicion.

After entering the restaurant, the two found a table and sat down. Will stood up, flipped through the menu, and ordered every type of ice cream on it.

Hastur only ordered a drink for himself, and he didn't have Will's appetite.

Not long after the two sat together, Bernadette, like a gust of wind, came before Hastur and Will without disturbing the others.

She looked at Hastur with great interest, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't meet you often."

Hastur thought for a while and said, "This is fate."

"It's not just fate, there may be something special about you."

Bernadette's tone was flat, her eyes were like lightning, and her whole body carried an air of oppression.

Will smiled sweetly: "This big sister is so beautiful."

A praise made Bernadette lose a lot of her momentum.

Bernadette teased deliberately: "Is this little boy your son?"

Hastur did not explain, anyway, he does not suffer from this title.

Will smiled sweetly, and asked innocently: "Big sister, can you be my mother? Then we will be a family of three."

"..."

"..."

Bernadette and Hasta were shocked by this sentence at the same time.

Bernadette never expected that the little boy in front of her would suddenly say such a sentence.

Be a mother?
Does she look very old?

Hastur, on the other hand, admires Will's thick skin, and he really deserves to be an existence who has lived for countless years.

On this kind of issue, I can still say it lightly, without embarrassment at all.

"Child, you and him are not father and son, do you think I can't tell?"

"He is my big brother, or else big sister, you can be my sister-in-law!"

Will's watery eyes lit up, full of hope.

"Cough cough..."

Hastur coughed twice, signaling to Will to stop talking nonsense, he really couldn't stand it anymore.

He could tell that Will was having a good time now, relying on his identity as a child, he tried to make fun of him and Bernadette as much as possible.

Even if Bernadette gets angry because of this, she will only settle accounts with him, not with a child like Will who speaks like a child.

A slight smile appeared on Bernadette's face, and she didn't get angry because of it. She flicked Will's little head with her fingers and said, "You kid, do you talk like this every time you see a beautiful sister?"

"No, I just think that you and big brother are a good match. Aren't you talking about fate just now?"

Will covered his head and took a small step back, showing innocent eyes.

Bernadette didn't talk about this topic with Will anymore, and glanced at Hasta again, "If I can meet you for the third time in Backlund, then I'm really interested in you."

"Big sister, I heard from big brother that the sign that a woman likes a man is that she is interested in this man."

Will smiled and put a black and shiny black pot on Hastur.

Hastur refuted it righteously: "Nonsense, I have never said such a thing."

"Oh."

Will lowered his head in frustration, and whispered again: "Brother, don't you think that Big Sister is very beautiful and suitable for taking home as a wife?"

"..."

Hastur showed an awkward yet polite smile, and said with an apologetic smile: "Children always like to talk nonsense."

Bernadette ignored this kind of words, and her whole body dissipated like a wisp of smoke.

After confirming that Bernadette had left, Hastur stretched out his hands to pinch Will's little cheek, rubbed it twice, and said viciously: "You little brat is really talented!"

"Didn't you find it interesting just now?"

"..."

"Speaking of which, Bernadette is also a person whom fate loves. If you can really marry her, maybe you can become a black emperor."

"Don't worry about it anymore, eat your ice cream quickly, it's almost melting."

"This is my judgment based on fate, and it is based on fate."

Will muttered in dissatisfaction, and started fighting with the seven or eight servings of ice cream in front of him.

……

It was past seven o'clock in the evening when Hasta returned home, mainly because Will's home was a little far away.

He was going to send Will to the south side of the bridge, and then turn back to Queens, and the time on the road was counted by the hour.

Fortunately, the work was not in vain. Before leaving, Will gave him a thousand origami cranes to use in his dreams. He felt that one thousand origami cranes were not enough, so he took a bunch of them, there should be more than a dozen.

On the way back, he bought another ordinary wind chime for 1 soli and 3p.

Just enough to hang this string of paper cranes on it.

Not to mention, Will's handiwork is really good.

Carrying the wind chime upstairs, Hastur hung it on the window sill of the study.

The bedroom is a place to rest, and he doesn't want Will to observe his sleeping position through the paper crane.

And hang it on the window sill, if Mr. A knocks on the window again in the future, Will will be the first person to be alarmed.

After finishing these things, Hastur came to the Hall of Stars, sat at the long table, took out a pen and paper, and sorted out the content of the chat with Will today.

This conversation resolved many of his doubts, such as Voltaire's question, the connection between the golden box, the monk in yellow, and the king in yellow.

The threat to him now is the organization of the monks in yellow.

Believe in the King of Yellow Clothes, and walk the path of the outer gods beyond the 22 extraordinary paths.

Either way, it's something to be wary of.

"Do you want to report this organization to the Church of the Seven Gods?"

Hastur thought for a while before giving up the idea, and now the monk in yellow has not done anything.

And the relationship between him and the king in yellow is more like... the real creator and Adam?
