Chapter 1191 Three Worlds

After chatting with Otto for a while longer, Zijing waited for Kallen, Yaezakura, and Yaezakura to arrive.

However, Zijing clearly felt that the atmosphere was a little tense. Kallen pouted to show her dissatisfaction, Yaezakura frowned slightly, and Yae Rin seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Zijing probably understood the reason. After all, they were the last group of people to know the truth, so it was understandable that they would be dissatisfied with her.

Otto clapped his hands, and several servants immediately came in with plates of exquisite dishes and placed them on the dining table.

"Everyone, please sit down and chat while you eat." Otto said with a smile, as if he was completely unaware of the subtle atmosphere in the air. He pointed to the dining table and motioned for everyone to take a seat.

"Humph……"

Kallen snorted and sat down first. Yaezakura also considered that Zijing, who had not yet recovered her memory, should not bear her resentment, so she sighed and sat down with Yaezakura.

"..."

Amethyst mouthed the word "thank you" to Otto, who smiled and said not to worry.

Kallen, Yae Sakura and Yae Rin sat on one side, Amethyst sat on the other side, and Otto sat alone in the main seat, sipping red wine and watching the developments.

Then Zijing started to move the tableware. The people opposite him stopped staring at him and started to eat in silence.

But the silence didn't last long.

"Zijing... No, brother, can I call you that?" Yaezakura's voice came softly.

“…Yes, that’s fine.”

Zijing paused while moving the fork and responded.

"What about me, brother?"

Yae Rin was not willing to be left behind and spoke immediately.

"You've already called me that..."

Amethyst expressed helplessness.

"Well, you can all refer to him as 'brother', but what about me? What should I call you?"

Karin used a fork to poke the high-quality steak in front of her.

"You can call him that if you don't mind."

Otto made a nonchalant joke.

"W-what? How could I possibly call him that?"

"Just do what you like. I'm used to being called different names, so it's okay."

Zijing understood Kallen's dilemma and said so.

"Then I'll call you Li... I didn't expect you to be so close to us. We thought you were already..."

Karin thought about how she was sad for a long time because of Zijing's sudden disappearance, and she felt very angry. "Forget about it before, but don't leave us casually in the future. Even if it's an emergency, you must report to us before doing anything dangerous, remember!"

Karen talked more, and it seemed that she had adjusted her mood. The passage of time also made her no longer the immature girl she used to be.

"Well, I will."

"..."

My brother's heartbeat quickened a little.

Yaezakura thought so, relying on her extraordinary hearing.

I feel a little sad. Even now, is my brother still hiding something from them?

Before coming here, the three of them had originally discussed the topic of "whether or not to ask about what happened during the time Li disappeared."

But when I thought that the answer I would probably get would be something vague like “I can’t remember anything” or “some minor accidents happened”, I felt discouraged again.

There are many mysteries surrounding my brother, and he is also very dangerous.

But Yaezakura doesn't want to be unable to find him for no reason again, so she must keep her brother in her sight forever.

"Brother, I want to move to your house."

Yaezakura rarely showed her willfulness and stared at Zijing with burning eyes.

"Huh? Why so suddenly...?"

Without waiting for Zijing to respond, Yae Rin quickly agreed, "Me too! Since my sister is living with you, brother, I want to too!"

"Wait, I haven't agreed yet..."

"If I'm included, the room may not be enough. Um, Otto, can you help Li move to a bigger house?"

"..."

Why can Kallen add herself in as a matter of course? Also, Otto, don't nod your head... Where is my opinion?

"Isn't this great?"

Otto asked back, shutting up Zijing with words, "It just so happens that there is a nice house next to where I live. It has a lot of space, enough for many people to live in."

“But I don’t want to move yet…”

"Hehe, I'm sorry, this is the authority of the Bishop of Heaven's Destiny. Besides, I think this is also for your own good."

Otto said slowly, "After all, you have formed close ties with so many people. In the future, your original residence may not be able to accommodate your friends' daily visits."

"..."

Ah, that’s true.

After all, having lived for three lifetimes, Zijing had known and become friends with people from three different generations. Although the original residence was not small, it was still a bit too much to accommodate the ties of her three lifetimes.

Amethyst was somewhat convinced... No, how did things slowly develop to this point?

Shouldn't I have been working hard to protect the warm little home I share with Theresa?

A few people talked to each other and asked Zijing to move, and added a few new members...

The original dissatisfaction with Zijing completely dissipated, and was replaced by longing for the future.

"Brother, let's go see our new house after dinner. Brother Otto, where is the key?"

Yae Rin's face was filled with an excited smile.

"I'll have someone bring it to you, don't worry."

Otto called a Valkyrie via comm and gave the order.

"Brother, we haven't lived together for a long time, maybe I can help you recover some of your past memories." Yaezakura said. She didn't know that Zijing's memory disappeared completely due to other factors.

"That's true. If we do more of the things we did in the past, maybe it will remind you of something. So... do you want to play that, the Phantom Thief Game?"

Kallen thought of her past experiences as a phantom thief. "This time I'm going to target Otto, steal his treasury, and then distribute the treasures inside to the poor in the world!"

"Ha ha……"

Otto, who had been blatantly warned, just smiled and didn't care at all. He even considered removing some of the anti-theft measures in his own treasury.

"I'll forget it..."

Just hearing the name sounded like it would be a rather troublesome thing, so Zijing refused.

"Why is that? Don't you want to get your memory back?"

"I don't think my memory can be recovered through this strange method..."

"How will you know if you don't try?"

"But it sounds like this attempt has no future."

"That's too much. You were willing to accompany me before!"

"Then was then, and the present is now."
