Don't confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 886 Finale: Lan Qi’s Brand New Day

Here is a photo.

The photo wall of Boss Cat Restaurant is covered with photos.

It includes many records of life, photos of Mr. Cat with domestic and foreign celebrities, and regular guests, most of which come from memorable moments.

For example, one of them is the closing photo after the second day of the performance of the Half-Witch episode of "Holy War Romance" that ended yesterday.

Members of the troupe expressed their thanks on the stage, and the main performance hall of the Icerite Opera House reached an unprecedented level of excitement. The audience was tearful and moved and applauded.

These photos are placed in Mr. Cat’s restaurant, like amulets.

Pray for health, bless love, and pray for success.

Everyone in the photo has different wishes.

"—This is Antanas Broadcasting."

"Hey, dear, today's host is still me, Antanas."

"Maybe this is the last Antanas broadcast."

"Will the time from now on make you miss me again?"

On a winter morning in February, the wooden house restaurant on the street ushered in the opening moment.

The sound of the radio drifted slightly from the window.

The sky is almost completely bright, the stars are dim, and the cyan morning light descends on the streets of Ikerita, the capital of King Hutton. In the sleepy morning, the world is about to be dyed indigo.

In the Cat Boss restaurant, Pranay is already standing in front of the bar, preparing for Monday's work.

Antanas' announcement can be clearly heard on the first and second floors of the restaurant.

"Good morning, Pranay, Shinora, cat boss."

Accompanied by a long and crisp jingle, the thick wooden door was pushed open by a pair of hands.

"Good morning."

Pranai raised his head and said hello to Ranchi who came here early in the morning.

It is almost Lan Qi's fixed itinerary to come to Boss Cat's restaurant to buy breakfast every day when the restaurant opens.

"Good morning."

Sinola also said to Ranchi behind the front desk.

"Why did Antanas say that today is the last episode? Is she going to Hutton Times Broadcasting Company to start an official new program tomorrow?"

Lan Qi paused, listened to Antanas' radio sound, and asked Sinola.

"Yes, Hutton Times Broadcasting Company has completed its preparations recently, and Antanas will officially host it tomorrow."

Sinora replied happily.

She was sincerely happy for her friend, but Antanas still lived in the Cat Boss restaurant and could see him every morning when he went to work and after get off work in the afternoon. On weekends, it was the same as usual, and he could go and play with Xubao.

The three of them were chatting at Boss Cat's restaurant when it first opened.

There are not many guests yet.

The interior decoration of the restaurant has not changed for a long time, it is still so simple and full of style. The wooden tables, chairs and floors exude a faint scent of pine. There are some handicrafts and old books placed in the corners, and the sofa brought back by the cat boss is placed on the On the second floor terrace.

Although the sofa is somehow labeled "food" as a reminder, it hasn't been cooked yet.

"Has this week's "Icerita School Journal" arrived?"

Lan Qi caught a glimpse of a corner of the short bookshelf in the dining room.

The book with a red cover was clearly the school magazine of their Eclita College.

Since the original vice-president of the student union of their Icerita College, Asna, became Boss Cat's disciple and the chef here, she would often bring her subscriptions to the school magazine to the restaurant and put them on the bookshelf.

To a certain extent, it is a kind of fate that Senior Asuna graduated from the Sage Academy and then changed from a student of Loren to a student of Maolun.

"Well, Asna brought it this morning."

Pranay noticed the new magazine, walked over slowly, took it over, and spread it out on the table at the front desk so that all three of them could see it.

He didn't even have time to read the latest issue.

Lanqi, Sinola, and Pranai gathered at the table and leisurely flipped through the red book of Icerite College.

Its content section covers major campus events and policy changes, academic research breakthroughs and achievements, faculty appointments and dismissals, important lectures, and news reports on student activities and club dynamics.

There is also a comment section for comments from students and teachers on campus issues, discussions of hot social topics, and letters and responses from readers.

College art exhibition reports, concert and theater performance reviews, cultural and art sections recommending literary works, campus photography, news videos, multimedia content sections for podcasts, etc.

Lan Qi probably knew about the previous news section in advance.

Because he was working for Professor Borao at Icerita College during this time.

And Shinora and Pranay are not very interested in these contents.

So it turns over faster.

It wasn't until they reached the comments and multimedia sections at the back that they began to read it with increasing interest.

One of the pages is [Icerite Academy Survey].

The latest issue of the big survey asks a question.

The investigation was launched on campus by Kukulka, a new officer on the Student Council and a Hutton Times reporter.

"Who is the strongest Yue Lao?"

Kukulka asked questions to the classmates he could find downstairs in the old liberal arts department.

"Eh? Lan Qi."

The gray-haired and purple-eyed young man wearing sunglasses replied.

He seems to be passing by in the photo, and even the shutter cannot clearly capture his figure.

"It depends on the situation, but it should be Lan Qi. This is just my personal opinion."

In the student union room, President Monast clasped his fingers together and supported his chin as he chuckled.

"Isn't it Lan Qi? If you include the beloved poet, it will be different."

When Teacher Teresa was stopped for an interview just after class at the Sage Academy, she looked back and thought.

The last picture is of a young man with black hair and green eyes.

He appeared to be drinking juice from a can and was asked the same question.

"Someone besides me and Ask-san."

he replied.

Sinora pointed to the last picture in confusion.

"Isn't this you? Lan Qi."

Sinola now has some resistance to Lan Qi, and there is no problem in looking directly at Lan Qi at close range.

Just like her brother Pranay was handsome when he was young, but after getting along for a long time, he no longer regards him as the opposite sex.

"I admit it, I'm still far away from being a good person."

Lan Qi spread his hands and shook his head.

"So what's going on with Loren?"

Pranay went to bed early that day, so he didn’t know what happened in the theater afterwards.

All he knew was that the show the next day, Sunday, was a success.

In addition to the opera itself, promotional musicals are regarded as works of art.

Sinola also stared at Lan Qi curiously.

She later heard the replay and learned what had happened on Valentine's Day.

But the person who knew the most detailed information was undoubtedly Lan Qi, and she wanted to hear it again.

"Loren's love life is still uncertain."

Lan Qi seemed to have given up. He smiled helplessly, more like feeling relieved.

He will never interfere in other people's life affairs again unless they really need his help.

If he's not careful, he might take things a little too far.

For example, the Fighter's Soul team was turned into a Fighter's Team.

"Besides, how can the emperor be manipulated? Doesn't this make me look like a traitor?"

Lanchi made a statement to Pranay and Shinora.

Loren's date fell into place quickly after leaving the theater on Saturday night.

The evacuation of the Icerite Theater was undoubtedly the most dangerous level.

After getting through, even without Lan Qi's help, Loren could send the three of them back without much difficulty.

Brother line, colleague line, rice friend line, whatever it is is possible.

But Lan Qi doesn't plan to interfere anymore and just let Loren develop naturally.

"Is this so?"

Pranay flipped through the red book thoughtfully.

This kind of Buddhist Lan Qi is quite good, at least in his opinion, it makes him feel more at ease.

When he first came out of Hullom Prison, he hoped that Rocky McCarthy would be more ambitious and lead them to greater glory.

Now his mind has completely changed.

"Actually, there are some things that I can't control at all. It's because of my friends who help me and tolerate me that I can keep stumbling until now."

Lanchi seemed to be able to see Pranay's thoughts and sighed.

Looking back, I discovered that he was sometimes smart, had delusions, and was obsessed with thinking that he could help others, but the actual process was somewhat problematic.

"But having said that, the show is so successful, the demons have accidentally become more popular, and industry insiders predict that many people will start to want to understand the culture of the demons. This may be a new blue ocean... Since Brilda After the decisive battle, the attention and tourism volume of Posen Demon Realm have continued to increase recently, and the restoration process is expected to accelerate again. "

Lanchi continued to talk to Pranay and Shinola about what happened after the performance that day.

This is what he heard from Atio and Rosalinda.

People have discovered that not all demons are as ferocious and violent as the main war factions during the Holy War. There are also a small number of demons that are docile and have great personalities. Their desires are harmless and will not indulge in killing and plundering.

There are even very harmonious demons.

"So that's it."

Sinora listened with a calm expression.

It's like he didn't hear the point of Lan Qi's words.

"Pranay, what about you?"

Lan Qi suddenly asked.

"What's wrong?"

Pranay's reaction was the same as Sinora's.

I don’t have any thoughts on Lan Qi’s talk about the return of the demon clan.

"It was Etiou who told me that if there are any big demons here who are willing to come over, at least they are the Grand Dukes, and they will give you enough status to revive your famous family..."

Lan Qi has not forgotten that when he brought Shinola and Pranai out, both of them wanted to return to their country.

"I said it when I first rescued you. We are friends. You can leave whenever you want. You are free."

Lanci added.

Now that the wishes of the Pranai brothers and sisters can be fulfilled, he will not have any powerful enemies like absolute strong men who need their help to fight.

"That's not necessary."

Pranay just smiled and closed his eyes quietly.

Life is good now.

There is no need to retain even a shadow of the old dream.

"How could I leave? I want to play with Xiubao every day. I have a lot of leisure time working at Boss Cat's restaurant."

Sinora said more firmly.

After leaving prison, my daily life has become a matter of saying to Chaoyang that she is back, and to saying Welcome back to Sunset.

Time finally runs in sync again.

She finally gained true freedom.

"Is this so?"

It seems that Lan Qi can only help Pranai and Shinora to reject the invitation from Etiou.

The world is always so unpredictable.

The answer always exists in his heart. He believes that the Pranai brothers and sisters' judgment will not be wrong, and they are never the type to regret.

"By the way, when are you and Tata, Xiubao, and West going to..."

Sinola suddenly asked.

Lan Qi kept talking about their affairs, but actually they were more curious about Lan Qi's affairs.

"It's almost time, they can't afford to delay."

Lan Qi replied with a smile.

He knew that Antanas had asked the cat boss about the situation at the Icerita Opera House on Saturday night.

Now that Antanas knows it, it means that everyone knows it, and he has no intention of hiding it.

But Lan Qi didn't notice.

This time Pranay didn't smile at all.

He put away the Icerite Academy red book and prepared to clean up the newspaper racks. Sinola also coughed twice.

"Sinola?"

Lan Qi raised his head and looked at Shinola who suddenly felt uncomfortable in her throat.

Before he could ask anything, he felt a chill on his back.

He turned his head and saw a pair of golden eyes of an absolute superior looking at him at the top of the stairs.

Tata also got up and came down.

Behind her was a half-asleep Sigrid.

Sigrid seemed to want to get up for breakfast and sleep for a while, so she hung on Tata and sniffed twice while falling asleep.

"Ranchi."

Thalia clenched her fists.

She was convinced that Lan Qi could no longer act.

In the past, this guy only thought secretly in his heart.

Now he dared to tell it in front of her.

That expression is so **** good!

"Tata, good morning!"

Lan Qi quickly looked at her and said hello,

"And West Germany."

He looked at Sigrid behind Thalia and said the same thing.

"Good morning."

Thalia's voice was emotionless, just as her face was expressionless most of the time.

But she would have to live with Lan Qi for a long time in the future. She didn't plan to torment Lan Qi anymore, and her voice was as gentle as a wife's.

"Good morning…"

Sigrid's voice was drawn out and she waved sleepily to Lanqi.

Thalia walked to the first floor, took out a box of biscuit-shaped pet food from the cabinet, and filled it with breakfast for the black fox in the Cat Boss restaurant.

For a while, the restaurant became quiet again, and the radio program playing in the restaurant became the entire sound in the entire space.

"February is approaching late, spring is here, and some stories are coming to an end, but—"

Antanas's gentle and intellectual female voice is as soft and delicate as the night wind. Accompanied by carefully selected healing music, the melody flows slowly and is intertwined with Antanas' words, adding a bit of tranquility to this morning. .

"In the unpredictable season, in the bustling sea of ​​people, as long as you have you, you will be happy."

A moment passed.

Lan Qi, Shinora and Pranay, who had returned from putting away the red book of Icerite Academy, started chatting again.

Outside the window, students wrapped in thick coats, holding steaming cups of coffee or tea in their hands, hurried past, their breath forming small white smoke in the cold air.

"Xiu appears."

With a slight smile on her face, Hyperion opened the door of Boss Cat's restaurant and walked in.

There is a magic camera hanging around her neck, which was given to her by senior Lu Weishier, who asked her to choose some of her favorite half-witch pictures from "Holy War Romance" and keep them as souvenirs.

Today, she arrived at the Cat Boss Restaurant as soon as she left the Duke's Palace, ready to select photos and print them out with her friends.

"Xiu Bao, here we come."

Sinola immediately looked at her and walked out from behind the front desk.

"Sinora, I miss you so much."

Hyperion looked at Sinora longingly and held her hand.

"Didn't we just see each other for a day?"

The two shook hands, and Sinora asked her.

"You and Antanas should move into the Duke's Palace quickly. There are two rooms just for you. I can't see you outside the room every day. I feel so used to it."

Hyperion proposed to Sinora.

Although staying at the Duke's house may be a longer commute for Antanas and Sinora to come to the Cat Boss Restaurant, and it is not as convenient as staying directly at the Cat Boss Restaurant, but it should be no problem to stay at the Duke's Mansion on weekends. .

"Why do I feel that the final destination of our demon clan is the parasitic stream..."

Sinola thought for a while and reflected.

More than two princesses took the lead.

These big demons also lived in similar ways.

"The talents and characteristics of demons are more or less related to their personalities. This is why the great demons of the old era who are still alive today are all non-harmful civil servants."

Pranay said on the sidelines that strictly speaking, this is not their problem.

The gentler the demons are, the easier it is for them to develop auxiliary talents. It can only be said that there is cause and effect.

The purely harmful demons, such as the blasphemous Lord Melogas, are undoubtedly powerful, but their personalities make it difficult to truly coexist with humans in human society.

"Perhaps Melogas has a way to coexist with humans, she just needs someone to understand her."

When Hyperion heard Pranay talking about the difference between demon civil servants and generals, she immediately thought of the typical counterexample of blaspheming the Lord.

Looking back now, she was so afraid of blaspheming you at first that she resisted even getting her power.

It wasn't until she truly faced her demon bloodline and harnessed the power of the blasphemous demon king that she began to understand her prejudice against the demons. In fact, as a demon, she could face her own heart. In this regard, she was far inferior to Melogas. , and even learn from Melogas.

"It's so hard to meet people like that."

Sinola shook her head and said.

She is also in awe of the ultra-ancient demons with demon king qualifications like the Profane Lord, and she also knows how difficult it is to make friends with the Profane Lord.

The first step is to conquer her.

The second step is to communicate with her on an equal footing.

Then it will be possible for her to open up and see the other person as her unique best friend.

"Or even if you encounter it, but you don't get it in the end, then you will really regret it for the rest of your life."

Pranay added.

In that shadow world tens of thousands of years ago, he had always been on good terms with the demons of the sect of Blasphemy Lord, such as Lord Skeleton and Lord Mercury. Although he was in a relationship, the relationship between them also showed emotions. Come, not to mention that in the end everyone joined hands to fight against the vampires.

"Oh, the demon generals are all very brave. The demon generals are only dead, not surrendered. I still remember that Melogas would rather die than surrender after losing. She never seems to be afraid of death."

Lan Qi remembered the enemies he had encountered in his career. The only one who did not have any change in mentality when he was about to lose was Melogas.

Oh, and Man.

However, Man was immediately knocked out by Tata's ultimate move and was speechless.

"Since you can become friends with both Qing Lei Ming and Qing Wu, it means that the demon general is not an incommunicable target. It's just a matter of difficulty."

After Thalia finished putting out the fox's feed, she stood up and said to Lan Qi.

At this time, the door of Boss Cat's restaurant was pushed open again.

"Monday, Monday, your mother will compete."

Togliado muttered to himself full of resentment about his work.

“…”

The conversation between Lanchi, Shinora and Pranai stopped.

Togliado is indeed not afraid of death.

But he is different from other generals.

"Oh, good morning, everyone."

Togliado smiled immediately when he saw his friends, then said goodbye and ran straight to the kitchen.

Since the troupe is still in Ikerita, one of the tasks given to him by the troupe is to buy meals for the crew every day.

Early this morning Toliado came to pick up the breakfast he had ordered from Boss Cat Restaurant.

"This is the first time I've seen a bishop act like a bully."

Hyperion complained quietly.

"At least Togliado is so sincere to the priests of the dimensional branch, so there is no need to worry about the emergence of bare-bones generals."

Ranchi preached to Hyperion.

"I don't think there will be a polished general unless you encounter a very evil bishop, which will cause all his subordinates to be alienated or rebel."

Thalia came over and commented on Ranchi.

Her main attention was still on Hyperion. She plucked her hair a little, and then felt relieved.

Hyperion used to have poor sleep quality and often had nightmares.

But now, judging from her complexion, she has a good rest every day and no longer has difficulty getting up in the morning.

"Don't worry, Tata. I sleep well every day. I'm happy every day now."

Seeing Tata's habitual concern, Hyperion said with a smile.

The parents are back.

Surrounded by friends.

It's the same as what he saw in the gentle land where he fell.

And all this was because Lan Qi, who was by her side, agreed to Lan Qi in the classroom that day and embarked on a journey with him. From that time on, her dream came true step by step.

"Thank you Ranch."

Hyperion smiled at him thoughtfully, with dimples appearing on the corners of her mouth.

"Why are you thanking me all of a sudden?"

Lan Qi asked Hyperian with great interest.

“Isn’t it normal to express gratitude to your hard-working husband?”

Hyperion leaned closer and spoke in his ear.

"Hugh treasure you."

Lan Qi did not expect that these were the words that Hyperion would suddenly say.

She also learned how to sneak attack.

"Okay, it's getting late."

Hyperion chuckled, glanced at the time and reminded.

Lan Qi starts a little earlier, and teachers often have to arrive at school earlier than students.

Now Professor Borao, the dean of the Magic Academy, has entrusted Lan Qi with all the work that originally belonged to the dean of the Sage Academy.

He does not teach, he is only responsible for management.

After Lan Qi took over, Professor Borao no longer had to worry about the school's official affairs. In other words, the Sage Academy was more organized than when Loren was still there.

"Yes."

Lan Qi also looked up at the clock on the first floor of Boss Cat's restaurant and realized that he had been chatting so happily with his friends that he almost forgot the time.

"Then I'll go."

Lan Qi casually put the briefcase on his shoulder, turned around and grinned.

“…”

Everyone else's expressions were more or less surprised.

Hyperion also subconsciously picked up the camera in her hand and pointed the lens at him.

Including Mr. Cat, who had just minuated out of the kitchen, stopped and stared at Lan Qi in the blink of an eye.

"Why are you looking at me like this?"

Lan Qi touched his cheek.

"You've become Lanchimeow."

The little black cat said cheerfully in a childish voice.

They had never seen Lan Qi smile so heartily in Boss Cat's restaurant.

Lan Qi used to be very dignified, like an unapproachable old principal. Even his smile was only vague and just right.

"Yeah?"

Lan Qi smiled again.

The same smile as before.

"Yes!"

"Becoming like a real boy!"

Laughter continued in the Cat Boss restaurant as Lan Qi was sent off.

They like this kind of Ranchi very much.

The shutter was clicked.

The scene was frozen at this moment, and was photographed and pinned to the photo wall of Boss Cat’s restaurant.

In this way, it will always be there after a long, long time.

And underneath the photo, I don’t know who left a beautiful brush stroke while passing by.

It is written like this.

[The rising sun is getting brighter, the divinity is gone, finding the heart with love, and regaining the human status. 】
