(The extra story that was promised before was finally added today 0 0/~)
At that point in time, during the joint war between Clancia and Frost, Yubeile had been captured.
A month has passed since the post-war reconstruction work, and the originally devastated city has gradually returned to calm. Although there are still many broken walls on the streets, they have been cleaned up on the whole, and some vendors have begun to bring food and fruits from surrounding villages for sale.
.
“Fresh fruits, freshly picked fruits, sweet and delicious~”
"Leather tent, let you sleep peacefully tonight, limited sale, buy early and enjoy early~"
"Everyone receives the grain shipped from the north of Crancia one by one according to the nameplate. Don't jump in line."
Many local residents gathered in the simple market, and there were some Crancia soldiers nearby to maintain order and ensure fairness and safety in transactions.
Since occupying this place, Crancia has conducted a census and registration of the original residents. Each registered original resident will receive his own new nameplate to symbolize his identity. From then on, he can rely on this nameplate to receive official food and subsidies.
Now Lorrantheil and Keti are still staying in this city, and it will probably take some time before they leave.
"Keti, is there anything you want to eat tonight?"
The two of them were wearing hooded brown robes, walking in the market, looking at the goods on the side.
"I don't know, are there any mushrooms? Luo Lan." Keti's light red eyes were bright and pure under the hood.
"It seems there isn't one here..." Lorraine Hill held Keti's hand and searched briefly in the market, but found no trace of mushrooms.
"Well, that's it..." Keti lowered her head a little disappointed.
"Hey, there are actually a lot of other delicious things."
"But mushrooms are very beautiful." Keti said what she liked.
"This is the same..." Lorraine Hill thought about the various strange shapes and appearances of mushrooms in the world, which are indeed not comparable to those in the past.
"Do you still like the crab from last time?"
"Loland lied to me. Crabs have many bones and are not delicious." Keti opened her crimson eyes wide.
"That's not a bone, it's a shell, it seems to be an exoskeleton..." Lorraine Hill suddenly felt that he was a little unreasonable. The crab seemed to be full of bones.
"Then let's eat something soft this time." Lorraine Hill took Keti's hand and came to a place selling miscellaneous grains.
"How do you sell this?" Lorraine Hill looked at the grains in the grid, which seemed to be buckwheat.
"This is 15 copper coins per pound." The shop owner glanced at the sign next to him.
"Buy a pound." Lorraine Hill handed over the coins.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Soon the bag of buckwheat was wrapped in a piece of rough paper and handed to Lorraine Hill.
Then the girl took Keti to buy some other fruits and food in the market.
After returning to the station outside the city, the two came to the big tent where they lived.
"Are Keti sleepy?" Lorraine Hill felt that Keti seemed to be sleepy.
"Well, Lorraine." The flame witch beside her gently leaned her head on Lorraine Hill's shoulder, and a warm touch came to her immediately.
"Then let's sleep for a while."
Lorraine Hill helped Keti to the sofa beside her, and soon the witch fell into a peaceful sleep. Her crimson and light red hair hung around her ears and in front of her body, with the gradual changes in shades of red following her.
Breathing also slows the light and dark changes.
This sleeping flame witch is not as scary as in historical records, but is as simple and innocent as a baby.
It's a bit cute. Lorraine Hill sat aside, looking at Keti who was sleeping soundly, and gently brushed her cheek with his fingers.
Although Keti often sleeps, as long as you sit next to her, you will feel a faint warmth and peace of mind, as if it is a long-lost tacit understanding and kindness.
Lorraine Hill recalled the ancient time in his memory, and stayed beside Keti for a while before standing up.
It's time to make something delicious and give Keti a surprise when she wakes up.
As he spoke, Lorraine Hill picked up the small bag of buckwheat he just bought and came to the side.
First, pour it into a clean small wooden basin, pour in clean water, wash it with your hands, drain it and pour in clean water again, and then soak it.
After leaving it for a while, she found a small wooden pestle and pounded the buckwheat. Then she used another small basin covered with several layers of gauze and poured the mashed buckwheat into it.
Then Lorraine Hill tightened the gauze, slowly squeezed out the milky white buckwheat juice, and obtained a bowl of light white buckwheat juice. Then he simply boiled it over fire and added sugar to increase the sweetness and taste.
Finally, add different juices as needed, put them into molds to cool, and jelly-like puddings are formed.
But it needs to be chilled, so the taste will be better.
Looking at the unformed puddings in the mold, Lorraine Hill thought for a moment, and then a slightly cold wind lingered between his fingers, cooling the puddings.
Time passed slowly, and when Lorraine Hill prepared this plate of pudding, it was already about 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun shines powerfully on the earth, and the dazzling sunlight penetrates a little through the gaps in the tent, illuminating the quiet room. For a while, you can hear the gentle sound of distant waves hitting the beach.
Turn the pudding upside down on the porcelain plate, and then carefully remove the mold. Looking at the shaking milky white pudding, Lorraine Hill also slowly sat back beside Keti.
Both of them are wearing pure white strapless dresses today, but the styles are different. Keti's dress has many floral decorations embroidered by Lorraine, which embellishes the skirt like the white wild flowers in the mountains, highlighting Keti's pure temperament.
, thereby diluting the oppressive feeling brought by the red hair.
As for Lorraine Hill's own piece, it is a bit simpler, with only the light blue belt around her waist embellishing it. It seems to be just right when paired with her silver hair and blue and transparent eyes.
He gently touched Keti's eyebrows with his fingers. Seeing that she still didn't respond, Lorraine Hill gently crossed Keti's face with his fingers, touched the tip of her nose, and scratched it slightly. It felt slightly fluffy and soft.
It came immediately.
"Oh... Luo Lan." Keti slowly opened her crimson eyes and looked at the silver-haired girl in front of her.
"It's time to wake up, Keti. Come and have something to eat." The girl stepped aside slowly, revealing the plate of white pudding behind her.
"Okay." Keti nodded, slowly sat up from the sofa, and curiously looked at the plate of pudding in front of her.
"Loran, what is this?" She looked at Lorraine Hill with a thousand overlapping red eyes.
"Well..." The girl pressed her finger lightly on her chin. It was hard to tell whether this was pudding at the moment, but it did look like it.
"pudding."
"pudding?"
"Well, you'll know after you eat it." After speaking, Lorraine Hill took a small spoon, put it in Keti's hand, and then tried it himself.
The shaky pudding is put into the mouth with a spoon and simply chewed. A cold and sweet taste fills it, dispelling the summer heat.
Watching Keti take a bite of pudding, Lorraine Hill seemed to think of something, and reminded: "Bite it into pieces when eating, don't swallow it in one bite."
"Well, it's so slippery..." After Keti finished taking a bite, she was immediately attracted by the soft and sweet food, and then scooped up the cold pudding by the spoonful.
"Eat slowly, I'll cut some fruit." Seeing that this plate of pudding was not enough for Keti, Lorraine Hill stood up again, washed the fruits he just bought, and then cut them into small pieces.
Brought it over.
Lorraine Hill was slightly surprised when he saw half of the pudding left.
"Don't you want to eat?"
"No, let's wait for Lorraine to come and eat together." Keti shook her light red hair and looked at Lorraine Hill who had returned.
"Good boy Keti~"
The two of them sat on the sofa together, eating afternoon snacks and fruits, and spent this short leisurely time.
Afterwards, the two of them leaned on the sofa and took a short nap at noon. Lorraine Hill turned around when he saw that the sun outside was no longer fierce.
"Keti, let's go swimming today." She suddenly wanted to try it.
"What is swimming?"
"It's just like a fish, swimming in the water." Lorraine Hill felt that he could always be knocked down by Keti.
"But I don't have a tail." Keti opened her innocent eyes wide.
"Well, I mean people can imitate the behavior of fish and swim in the water."
"I can't think of it." Keti shook her head.
"Go and give it a try, it might be interesting." Lorraine Hill seemed to have become a lot more curious after being together with Keti.
"Um."
"But it seems that you need to change clothes if you want to swim..." Looking at Keti and the dress she was wearing, Lorraine Hill seemed to remember something shy, and she didn't want to go swimming.
"I know this." Keti was not confused this time. She obviously remembered the last time she bought swimsuits with her companions.
Although they went to the beach for vacation that time, the group did not swim much. Firstly, they spent most of the time playing on the beach. Secondly, with Vimiya around, the three witches could go directly into the deep sea, so there was no need for them.
Swimming is a skill.
"I'm going to get clothes." Keti was afraid that Luolan would think she was sitting still, so after a while she came to another room in the tent, opened her suitcase and rummaged through it.
In fact, there is no need to be so active this time... Lorraine Hill looked at Keti taking action, and felt a bit stuck for a moment.
After a little hesitation, she took out the one-piece pure white swimsuit from the storage ring.
After a while, after changing into the cubicle next to him, Lorraine Hill walked out.
"Has Lorraine changed as well?"
Keti seemed to be holding a small round ball in her arms, standing outside waiting. She was wearing a separate swimsuit, with a light red bra on her upper body, and lace outlines on the edges, revealing her slightly plump parts, and her lower body
It has a similar style, with a bow tie tied around the fair thighs, outlining a slightly voluptuous figure.
The flame-red long hair of this flame witch is scattered behind her, and the longest ends even touch the back of her thighs. The warm red and fair skin complement each other, giving people a strange charm and beauty.
"Um...Okay." After putting on his swimsuit, Lorraine Hill seemed a lot weaker and a little more shy than usual.
Fortunately, there are no other people around this time. The army has already gone to the front line. There are no rich and noble people like before on the beach. A large area of the sea is temporarily vacant. As long as you have a little sense before going, you can find a remote and clean beach.
Patting his chest gently, Lorraine Hill eased his uncomfortable mood for a while, and then raised his head.
She was wearing a pure white one-piece swimsuit, with her silky hair falling straight to her waist. The corners of the swimsuit were slightly tucked into her flesh, and her fair thighs were exposed at the moment, perfectly rounded. The close-fitting swimsuit spread upwards along her waist.
Reveal the curves of your abdomen.
The satin-like pure white fabric outlines a beautiful arc, crossing at the chest, and then meeting at the back of the neck. The overall shape of the swimsuit is pure white, but there is a light blue bow embellishment on the chest, which vaguely blocks part of the curve.
, this also allows the girl to comfort herself a little.
Compared with the well-covered front, a large area of snow-white skin is exposed on the back. If you lift up the long silver hair behind Lorraine Hill, you can see the faint shoulder bones and the shallow hair extending from the back to the waist.
Ridge groove.
But because she was not wearing any other clothes at this time, her hair fell directly on her back. As she moved around, the tips of her hair slightly scratched her skin, which made the girl feel a slight itch.
"Let's go."
Taking a deep breath, Lorraine Hill pushed Keti in front of him and slowly walked out of the tent, but soon there was a light blue water mist circle surrounding the two of them.
"It will be safer this way." Lorraine Hill said some unnecessary explanations, and then he and Keti flew into the wind and ran towards the seemingly deserted and remote beach.
The toes gently landed on the ground, and the moist and fine white sand sank between the toes, and a cool feeling came along with the sea breeze.
It was already 3-4 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was no longer hot, and the golden sunlight shone on the blue and clear sea water, reflecting bursts of broken waves.
The two walked on the beach for a while to get used to the colder water, and then slowly entered the deeper water.
Although there was a big river near Lorraine Hill's hometown in her previous life, she did not learn to swim because of it. Because when she was a child, her family was afraid that the children would get flooded, so they always warned them to stay away from the river.
In this way, in junior high school and high school, the study tasks became increasingly heavy, and there was no chance to learn to swim. Sometimes when he saw his peers swimming vigorously in the swimming pool or the river, Lorraine Hill would secretly say to himself, "They are drowning."
They all know how to swim. If I don’t learn how to swim, I won’t get drowned.” This is how I comfort myself.
Now, in the world after rebirth, she has abilities beyond ordinary people. Naturally, she is not afraid of drowning, but this does not mean that she can swim. Apart from her extraordinary abilities, this girl is still an out-and-out landlubber.
Speaking of how to learn swimming, Lorraine Hill finally remembered to look through the textbook. With the help of the system, he quickly went through it in his mind, and Lorraine Hill was ready to try it.
"Keti, actually when it comes to swimming, the most important thing is to learn how to move water."
The silver-haired girl explained to her companions seriously, even though she had never experimented before.
"Hmm, then how do you move the water?" Keti also became interested, her crimson eyes staring at Lorraine Hill's movements, motionless.
"Well, this is what it looks like?" The silver-haired girl began to move her hands on the water to demonstrate.
"Keti, have you ever seen a duck? The duck's feet are so big that they move forward step by step, just like climbing stairs in the water."
"What is a duck?" Keti asked again.
"Ducks are very powerful poultry..." Lorraine Hill felt like he was stuck in some explanation dilemma.
"Poultry... forget it, let me demonstrate."
The girl followed the illustrations in the past textbooks and jumped into the deep water. Since she was learning to swim, she deliberately did not use her extraordinary abilities.
Plop~
The water splashed and the silver hair was directly submerged in the water.
Lorraine Hill only felt that the world in front of him suddenly darkened, and then water began to pour in from his nose and ears. His past memories were instantly awakened, and a kind of panic suddenly arose.
Keti curiously held the bright yellow ball floating on the water and watched Lorraine Hill struggling in place, with all kinds of water splashing.
It turns out that this is swimming. Looking at Luo Lan's appearance, it seems to be a bit hard. Is this some kind of exercise?
"Wow... I'm saved." After a while, Lorraine Hill struggled to stand up again from the water.
Sure enough, it was a mistake to learn to swim today, and Lorraine Hill regretted it.
"Lolan is so amazing~"
Keti watched Lorraine Hill stand up and clapped slightly happily. Looking at her innocent look, she didn't seem to realize that this was a failed teaching.
"Keti."
Lorraine Hill looked at Keti on the side, then raised a burst of water and poured it on Keti. But the flame witch didn't seem to understand the meaning. She still stood in the waist-deep sea water, looking at Lorraine curiously.
Hill.
Lorraine Hill had no choice but to walk over in small steps, his body swaying slightly with the sea water, trying to maintain balance.
"Keti, actually there is something I didn't tell you." She hugged Keti's shoulders, and the cool dew slipped from their skin, reflecting a little crystal light in the sun.
"Actually, I can't swim." Lorraine Hill said a little embarrassed.
"It was a wrong demonstration just now. Keti must not follow it."
"The correct one should be like this." Lorraine Hill put his forehead against Keti's eyebrows, and the cool touch immediately came, and some pictures were transferred to Keti's consciousness.
Thanks to the fact that both of them are one of the originals and have special souls, they can use this direct method to convey memories or images without worrying about their souls being damaged or confused.
"So this is swimming." Keti seemed to really understand this time.
After a while, Lorraine Hill held the inflatable ball floating in the sea and looked at the girl swimming in the sea like a mermaid. A burst of envy came to his heart.
Well, I'm really not good at learning how to swim. She buried her face in her arms, her light blue and transparent eyes moving along with her long crimson hair.
"Lolan, let me take you." Keti rose from the water, her light red hair looking particularly beautiful and gorgeous under the water drops and sunlight.
After saying that, Keti took Lorraine Hill's hand and entered the water.
This time, Lorraine Hill only needed to hold her breath. The silver-haired girl was already extremely light, and it seemed effortless to be carried by Keti.
In this way, two figures, one silver and one red, finally dived into the blue water and swam happily under the water.
Looking at Keti holding his hand, Lorraine Hill had a strange illusion for a moment. Keti at this moment was as warm and reassuring as a sister.
Obviously I usually teach her more things by myself.
The girl shook her head in the water, and then continued to swim in the water, enjoying this rare short vacation.
In the light blue sea water, the sunlight swayed, and the fish passing by occasionally looked curiously at these two special beings beside them. One of them was red, the other was silver, and shuttled back and forth in the water.
