let go of my anne

Valoran's calendar is very close to the Gregorian calendar in Chen Senran's last world, and there is also a new year, a festival that Chen Senran feels very dear to.

From the ten days after the green-skinned alien left to the day before the new year, the snow began to fall again and again without stopping.As for the monster that threatened to come back and eat Chen Senran as a reward, no one knew whether it survived the boundless snowstorm or not.Maybe that guy has hunted a reindeer somewhere warm and is drinking its blood, its body rapidly evolving.Or maybe, that guy has already been made a specimen by some perverted scientist.

In short, Chen Senran no longer cared about its life or death.

Because today is the last day of the old year, and the new year will be ushered in a few magic hours. Counting it, it has been almost half a year since Chen Senran came to this world, and this is his first new year.So he didn't want to think about these annoying things anymore.

The sky was getting dark, and the snow was still falling. Chen Senran was sitting in the corridor beside the courtyard with a glass of red wine, enjoying this rare quiet time with a little bit of drunkenness.

The white roses in the courtyard have been emptied, and the long snowfall has covered the entire courtyard, almost spreading to the corridor.

Little Annie was wearing fluffy clothes and was having fun in the heavy snow regardless of the wind and snow. Chen Senran raised his head and glanced, and found that the little girl was clumsily building a snowman.

The little girl obviously stacked them seriously, she didn't feel the cold around her at all, and her little face was flushed red from the cold.

Seemingly aware of Chen Senran's gaze, the little Lolita became excited all of a sudden, "Come on, big bad guy, big bad guy, come and see, am I stacked well?"

Chen Senran smiled helplessly, put down his wine glass and walked to Little Annie's side, and carefully began to observe the huge snowman.

From the appearance, it seems to be a bear, um, it looks a bit like Tibs, Chen Senran glanced at the little girl whose little hands were also flushed, and took her little hand with a bit of distress, ready to pinch a handful for her hand.

I just wanted to praise her, she is very talented in art.Chen Senran heard a muffled sneeze, and saw the snowman tremble all over. He looked at the snowman suspiciously, wondering if there was another alien creature coming?

Immediately, he heard a dull sneezing sound again, this time the snowman shook even harder, directly collapsing the snowman bear's face, and then Chen Senran saw the innocent and pitiful bear face of Tibbs.

"You..." The corners of Chen Senran's mouth twitched. He was still thinking about how to be so lifelike, but he didn't expect that the genuine product was buried inside.

Seeing the leak, the little girl's whole face became stinky, and she gave the poor fat bear a sideways look, "I told you not to move, and you are not allowed to eat tonight."

Tibs trembled all over. He didn't know whether he was frightened by the little girl's murderous eyes, or by the punishment of not being allowed to eat. poor peasants.

Chen Senran looked at this funny master and servant, and couldn't help kissing the little girl's rosy cheek, "What a stupid girl."

Little Lolita's flushed face turned even redder, like a small apple, she threw herself into Chen Senran's arms, and said like a mosquito: "I hate it..."

Chen Senran picked her up, looked up at the dark sky, the snow was falling, life was so beautiful.

After a sumptuous New Year's dinner, little Annie was coaxed into her room to go to sleep by the warm smile of the Shadow Priestess who was finally willing to temporarily take off her cloak.But Chen Senran was kept by Hastur.

In the large and simple dining room, the tablecloths were changed to a warm creamy yellow color, the magic lamp was also changed to a dim yellow color, and a pot of warm barley tea was placed on one side, emitting pale white steam.Everything looks warm and comfortable on this New Year's snowy night.

So Hastur didn't talk about some disturbing topics, but just talked about some anecdotes, some interesting stories about the past, and some little things about little Annie's growth.

Chen Senran chatted cooperatively, but it was not entirely out of a pleasing attitude. In fact, for a killer who had no home, no family, and only a sword since he was a child, he really felt at home at this moment. , These chats and warmth brought him a rare peace and happiness in the past 20 years.

Talking about the warmth of home with an old fox on a treacherous continent?Chen Senran finds this fact absurd and extremely interesting.

Time passed slowly, and the pot of warm tea had bottomed out.Chen Senran stood up and bid farewell to Hasta, with a soft voice, no longer sharp and hidden as usual, just a simple farewell, as simple as a junior leaving respectfully after visiting an elder.

"Hello, young man." Hastur called out to Chen Senran who was about to bring him to the door.

Chen Senran raised his head, vaguely guessing what the middle-aged man was going to say.

"Be nice to Anne."

Chen Senran was not surprised, he looked at this man who looked very gentle under the dim light and nodded, "Okay."

It was just one word, but it was rarely firm and decisive.

The door closes.Both Chen Senran and Hastur laughed silently.

The snow fell to the ground in the middle of the night, passed the last moment of the old year, and fell on the land of the new year.

Chen Senran didn't sleep, and turned on the bedside magic lamp that was arranged in dim yellow because of the arrival of the New Year, reading a book of "General History of Valoran".

This was the book he read on the first day he came here, and the pages were already a little wrinkled. He had been flipping through it non-stop for seven days and nights.

In fact, Chen Senran is a very nostalgic person.Just like the dagger he used to have, even though it had two cuts and the hand-wrapping cloth on the handle was torn, he still kept it by his side.Because that was the first time he was on a mission, alone and helpless, the only thing he could hold to protect himself.

Thinking of this, Chen Senran suddenly felt a little sad, and laughed at himself, laughing that he was really pretending.

"Squeak~" The door behind him opened.

"Well, Xiao Sensen, are you still awake?" Annie's timid voice came.

The same room, the same oak shelves, the same History of Valoran, the same timid cries.Everything seems to be back to the beginning.

Chen Senran said with a smile, "I'm already asleep."

Little Annie naturally heard Chen Senran's narrowness, snorted coquettishly, completely ignored Chen Senran's narrow smile, and jumped onto Chen Senran's bed, revealing only a small head wearing a pink nightcap Staring at Chen Senran from the outside, he looked very delicate and cute.

"Tell me a story~"

Chen Senran shook his head, picked up a bottle of red wine and walked to the window.

Little Annie was suddenly a little unhappy, but Chen Senran stopped her when she wanted to speak.

Chen Senran slowly opened the window, and the snow outside the window was thickening.

Chen Senran moved his finger away from his mouth and pointed to his ear, "Listen, good story."

Little Annie closed her eyes in doubt and listened out of the window.

The world is quiet, only the snowflakes fall on the roof and on the ground, rustling.

Chen Senran raised his glass against the wind and snow, respecting the entire dark and quiet world.

"Happy New Year, Brave New World."

Second update.I wrote it for a long time.

It's been a long time since writing was so slow and difficult.Maybe it's been too long since I wrote something warm.

But the writing is very comfortable and warm.

I admit that this is a book, but I also hope to write some warm things occasionally.

Hope you like it too.

I wanted to try the third one.However, since I am about to enter the second volume, I need to sort out my thinking, so I gave up.

Looking forward to the second volume.
