Hearing that Alex wanted to participate in the Saghira Day of Flowers, Furina was a little surprised, then thought for a moment and said, "You said you want to go see it?! Hmm, I remember it's still a long time until it's held, several months away. But you'd best ask a Sumeruan for the exact date."
Alex nodded, "Hmm, that gives us even more time!"
Alex had a good idea. So many years had passed since the main story, a normal Saghira Day of Flowers, not a dream one, would be perfectly fine to attend.
He could even give Nahida a happy birthday.
For example, he could put together a team and perform for the Sumeruan people who love Nahida: [The Flower Float Bumps and Bounces].
This would invigorate them and give them more motivation to overthrow the Akademiya.
After turning the Akademiya upside down, he could even bring the Traveler over to rampage through it in advance.
What would Balladeer do then? He wouldn't have the chance to say, "Beelzebul, I have ascended to godhood!" and then be lectured by his step-mother Nahida and spanked by his birth mother Raiden Ei.
Hmph, I won't bother with that. Actually, the Balladeer from before was much cooler than the Balladeer after his memories were wiped and he was whitewashed!
It's just... he was abandoned, unloved by his mother, and the good friends he finally made also died.
Balladeer, this puppet, truly lacked love, with a tragic past and a twisted personality.
Hmm... actually, it really should be reset. It seems the Doctor is still needed, and besides, the Doctor will definitely cause trouble in Sumeru. It's also very necessary to eliminate so many of the Doctor's segments.
There are a bunch of small problems, and a big one: Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and Irminsul.
Sigh, Alex couldn't help but sigh. He really didn't know how to save this. The worst outcome would be to bring the Traveler along to witness the whole Greater Lord Rukkhadevata situation.
Puppet, summoned being?
Wait, wait? Puppet? Puppet!
For something with consciousness like this, could he make a contract with him?
Haha, it seems Irminsul still needs to be modified. If Balladeer could be rebooted into the Wanderer...
Then I'd grab him, then pinch his cheeks, dress the Wanderer in women's clothes, and give him a wig.
Brother, brother! You smell so good~~~!
"Pfft pfft pfft." Alex secretly started to enjoy himself.
"?" Clorinde and Furina, however, were both utterly bewildered.
"Then I'll go rest. See you next time." Clorinde waved goodbye.
"Okay, see you next time, Clorinde." Alex also waved goodbye to Clorinde.
Furina watched from the side as Clorinde walked into the Palais Mermonia, then asked, "What were you two doing earlier?"
"Today, Clorinde, Chevreuse, and the Gardes opened a shop together, didn't they? The lemonade sold incredibly well!" Alex began recounting the day's events, finally saying, "Then Clorinde took me to see many scenes in Fontaine. And we fought many monsters."
"Oh, oh, that's really good!" Furina also narrowed her eyes and smiled happily.
"Fu Fu, are you free? Want to come to my place today?" Alex invited her.
Furina thought about it. She really should check on his fields more often.
After all, by her calculations, tomorrow would be the third day of eating strawberries, which meant more strawberries would be produced tomorrow!
"Okay!" Furina nodded, agreeing.
Back at his home, Alex chatted with Furina about cheerful topics, and even told her some classic fairy tales and so on, and so on.
Time passed quickly. In fact, it hadn't been long since they got home, not even two and a half hours.
Another unexpected guest knocked on the garden gate.
"Coming! Coming!" Alex was genuinely surprised as to who would politely come looking for him.
"Creak~" A faint sound of the door opening rang out. Alex looked towards the door and instantly exclaimed in delighted surprise, "Oh! It's you! Come in and sit down..."
"Hmm, then I'll impose." The young man outside the door, wearing a top hat, took off his hat and bowed, then led the quietly cat-eared sister behind him inside.
The young man then noticed Furina in the house, and bowed again, "Hmm, Lady Furina, good day~"
"Hmm. Hello, hello. Don't be shy, just make yourselves at home!" Furina said, extending her hand to invite the two new guests to sit on the sofa.
"Excuse us," the young man said, and sat down.
His sister also sat down, her legs together, a little timid and reserved.
"Haha, Lyney, Lynette. Why did you suddenly come to my house today to find me?" Alex happily walked over and sat beside Furina, crossing one leg, looking at the two opposite him, "Do you have more Primogems?"
"This... uh." Lyney suddenly stammered. He was a little embarrassed; he had come this time with something to ask for.
"Oh! That's right!" Alex suddenly interrupted, then produced a box of strawberry gift packages for each of the siblings.
Then he took out two strawberries, and after some quick work, each of them had a glass of strawberry juice in front of them.
After finishing, Alex smiled gently at the two, "Don't be shy, it's on me. Please try it!"
"Thump~" Alex suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder, turned his head, and saw Furina looking at him with puffed-out cheeks.
"Hmm?" Alex was puzzled.
"Where's mine?" Furina said, her two heterochromatic eyes noticeably widening.
"Oh, oh! Sorry." Alex quickly said, then took out another strawberry and started making it.
"Why don't you put your lemon in too and see?" Seeing Alex only making strawberry, Furina also thought his lemon was good, and she hadn't tried what it would taste like mixed together.
"Oh, strawberry lemonade? Sounds good!" Alex's eyes lit up.
Because he only had these two fruits at the moment, he hadn't thought they could be mixed and matched. It was a good thing Furina reminded him.
"No tea! Just these two fruits!" Furina shook her head. She still preferred the taste of pure fruit juice. Adding a little tea felt a bit strange, though it wasn't undrinkable.
"Alright, alright!" Alex nodded, then took out a lemon, cut a quarter of it, and threw it in to start stirring. He didn't dare to add too much, fearing it would be too sour.
"Here you go~~~" Alex finished and handed it to Furina, "If it doesn't taste good, give it to me, I'll make another one."
"Hmm, it's good, the taste is not bad." Furina drank it with some satisfaction and didn't return it.
Lyney and Lynette opposite had watched enough, then exchanged glances.
Lynette was the first to pick up the strawberry juice and drink from the straw.
"Meow~" After drinking, Lynette involuntarily made a sound, then suddenly realized, and, under everyone's strange looks, wished she could burrow into the ground.
Lynette quickly composed herself and said, "Hmm, this juice is very delicious."
"It is delicious." Lyney quickly took a sip and said, slightly easing his sister's embarrassment.
