Breaking free from the constraints of steel and pipes, the slender figure slowly walked out of the flames.

After this incident, I was at peace for a few months.

These are the months I have slept most peacefully since the end of the war, not to mention that I don’t have to face alien races or worry about not having food to eat.

"First Star——"

I was about to put the vegetables into the pot when I heard Satira's call.

The child is now able to communicate without any problems. Of course, I don't know if it's because of me, but the Imperial language he taught her always has an Eastern accent.

"what's wrong?"

I walked out of the kitchen and wiped my hands on my apron.

"There's a big sister outside the door~"

She looked very happy, which was inevitable, as today was a traditional day in the history of the East Country, the day to mark the beginning of the new year.

A big sister has arrived...If it was Nina, she should be able to call out her name directly.

Who will come then?

I have no relatives in the empire and only know a few people. It can't be the Queen looking for trouble with me, right?

After thinking about it, I walked to the door and opened it directly.

"Ah... Happy New Year, Hatsuboshi~"

I opened the door and standing outside was Sister Yuan, who was wearing a kimono and carrying a gift.

Her cheeks were slightly red, and looking at her hands, I couldn't help but cover them with some heartache.

"Hey, eh? Hatsusei, are you so direct now?"

Sister Yuan couldn't help but be stunned, and the blush on her face was somewhat obvious.

"Sister Yuan, you are willing to wear gloves. These are hands that can save people."

"Hatsuhoshi takes advantage of her sister~"

Little Satila next to us kept making noises, which made us all laugh helplessly.

"Thank you, Sister Yuan, and Happy New Year."

After bringing Sister Yuan in, Satila happily went to the side to pour some hot water, and then brought it to Sister Yuan.

"Thank you...Hatsuei, am I disturbing you?"

Sister Yuan took the cup of water and warmed her hands.

"No, absolutely not!"

I put my hand on my chest and answered with a smile as if I was swearing.

Seeing that there was still some snow water in Sister Yuan’s hair, I quickly brought her a hot towel and a blanket.

"Sister Yuan, do you still live alone?"

I pushed the little girl Satila onto the sofa, sat opposite Sister Yuan, and took out some fruits and snacks.

Sister Yuan nodded silently, but there was still a smile on her face.

"Then I will make the decision on my own today. You will stay and have New Year's Eve dinner with us today!"

"Okay, I'm welcome, where is the kitchen~"

Sister Yuan has always been a generous and decent person. She smiled and wanted to get up to help in the kitchen, but she pushed me back.

What a joke! There is no reason to ask guests for help.

What's more, this is our traditional festival, so I am the only one who can organize it.

"Just sit down and don't mind her being noisy."

I turned back to the kitchen and started working on the braised beef that I had prepared long ago.

It was rare for strangers to come, so Satila surrounded Sister Yuan, looking curious and excited.

Sister Yuan looked a little nervous, but after taking a few deep breaths, she asked under Satila's curious gaze.

"Satila, who is your mother?"

"Satila has no mother!"

The child answered with a smile, and was quite decisive.

"Ahem, ahem... not good, not good, ah no... Satira, do you want to have a mother?"

Sister Yuan was suddenly in a panic and coughed a few times before she calmed down.

Hearing Sister Yuan ask this, Satila started sucking her fingers again.

"I don't know..."

Although it may seem a little wasteful today, but in the New Year of the Easterners, we should eat more and eat better.

Poor families have their own way of living, rich families have their own way of living, and ordinary people like us naturally have our own way of living.

"Come on~ Be careful, it's hot. Drink some soup first. Satila, be good, understand. Sister will feed you soup, don't run around."

I walked out holding the casserole, and simply activated the spell with my hands to "freeze" the handles on both sides of the casserole.

Satila nodded obediently. I looked at Sister Yuan and asked her to feed the little guy some soup first.

Several hot dishes were then placed on the table, along with a small pot of fine Eastern wine, and that was the New Year's Eve dinner.

"Hatsuei, you really do seem like a househusband."

Sister Yuan praised me for not getting any worse in my craftsmanship, which made me feel a little embarrassed.

When I was in Skull Hat, every New Year and other festivals, my colleagues from all over the world would share a dish, but I only remember the taste.

When it comes to cooking, Sister Yuan is miles ahead of me.

"Ah, I wish I could be a househusband and never be needed again."

I took a sip and sighed a few words.

Sister Yuan couldn't help but sigh softly and raised the teacup in her hand.

"To a tomorrow without war."

"To a tomorrow without war."

I also raised my glass, and all the past events seemed to be washed away along with this glass of wine.

After we were almost done with the New Year’s Eve dinner, I took the dishes in to wash them.

"Hey, Hatsusei, I'll help too."

This time Sister Yuan didn’t intend to refuse me. She rolled up her sleeves and took the dishes to the other side of the sink.

Her movements were very skillful, and looking at her hands, I sighed.

"Sister Yuan."

"Ok?"

"Why don't you go to the hospital? With your skills..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sister Yuan stopped moving.

But she quickly smiled and piled up the washed dishes.

"Feel sorry."

I lowered my head unconsciously. Although Sister Yuan didn't show it on weekdays, maybe she still had some grudges about the past.

"What are you sorry for, silly boy."

Sister Yuan dried her hands, put her arms around my shoulders, and spoke softly.

It’s New Year’s Day, and I think it’s better not to mention the past.

We made some hot tea, set out some snacks, and talked about the past six months since the war.

Being a librarian and selling food are probably things our superiors would never let us do before.

Although Satila didn't understand, she still sat next to us obediently.

"Xixi went back to the south. He said the south was hit hard by floods and he had to go back to help..."

"What about Brother Lauren? His skills can't do anything else except assassination, right?"

"How dare you criticize me? I'm participating in the construction of the northern frozen land. There are a lot of ferocious beasts there~"

When we talked about our past comrades, it seemed like we had endless topics to talk about.

Coincidentally, I didn't see them for the last time before returning from the field hospital, and I don't know if they would blame me.

However, after five battles, there were basically no casualties among the group, and I was already very happy.

I don’t have any grand ambitions anymore. I have no problem doing some undercover assassination work, but the country is stable now, so there is no need for a “dangerous element” like me.

Things will get better and their blood will not be shed in vain.

Dong dong dong

We were chatting enthusiastically when there was another knock on the door.

"Hatsuei, Happy New Year~"

The person who came was Nina. She was carrying a box of gifts and smiling brightly.

Chapter 56

All kinds of corrosive potions were immediately triggered, and dark green marks began to appear on the heavy body. This was exactly the effect Ye Qing wanted.

She didn't need these potions to corrode directly, she just wanted the effect of reducing resistance.

"As expected, it's more fun to kill the boss by yourself than relying on props!"

Ye Qing fell down and swung Zhongshi again. Although the giant steel bear wanted to break free from the ground, those steel wires seemed like a solid prison. Compared with the body of the giant steel bear, they were obviously insignificant, but they made it unable to move.

One hammer, two hammers, three hammers

The controlled giant steel bear had no resistance at all in front of Ye Qing, who was less than a palm taller than it, and was directly knocked off its remaining two limbs by Ye Qing.

After doing all this, Ye Qing jumped away without continuing to fight.

The reason is simple. Looking at the blood volume on the health bar dropping directly due to limb damage, Ye Qing knew that it was time for this guy to change stages.

Most multi-stage monsters have special effects when changing stages, such as the petrification that came with the Gorgon and the blood extraction that the priestess had.

The giant steel bear in front of him is...

Explosion, a violent explosion erupted from that huge body. Looking at the oncoming flames, Ye Qing neither fled nor hid, but just stomped on the metal fragments on the ground and used it as a shield to block in front of him.

The blazing flames swept past him, and Ye Qing naturally knew that the second-stage BOSS was about to appear in front of him.

From the flames, a figure slowly stood up.

Just like the giant steel bear that was born from the mechanical embryo before, at this moment, the second-stage BOSS is slowly standing up from the body of the giant steel bear.

Being reborn from the blazing flames is like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

"Well, rather than rebirth, I prefer to say evolution."

Ye Qing shook off the iron sheet in his hand that had begun to heat up, and looked at the human figure that slowly walked out of the flames.

Breaking free from the constraints of steel and pipes, the slender figure slowly walked out of the flames.

"Data collection... 30 percent. Entering combat mode. Information collection system fully activated."

Walking out on the flames was a girl with a body of steel.

Even the skin made entirely of steel was filled with a strange beauty under the light of the fire, just like the body that was perfectly crafted like a human body.

If the face wasn't still made of steel, many players would probably shout "I'm fine" on the forum.
