Chapter 235 Part 2
byChapter 235 Part 2: Battlefield? Family Gathering! Charlotte’s Turn (2)
Kirimi Miyuki didn’t think much about it; she made an Amulet for everyone in her team.
When she saw Charlotte, memories rushed back like a wave, with strange yet familiar feelings filling her soul, making her feelings for the other small idols even deeper. She oddly wanted to do something special for her, as if some little habit had come back to life.
The [Tempering of the Heart] had a huge boost effect on skills like crafting, forging, painting, and everything involved in making equipment. Her speed of folding paper cranes increased a lot; if she didn’t need to save energy (which also included magic) to make Amulets, she could have folded hundreds in just one hour.
So, after buying the materials for the five Amulets, the actual making time was only one hour, which was incredibly fast considering their level of detail.
Kirimi Miyuki thought this and took another Amulet from her bag to give to Xie Qingxuan.
The girl received it, her long eyelashes casting shadows as she looked at the golden-haired dog on the Amulet, her cool face full of confusion. She clearly did not know how others saw her, but since she liked fluffy things, she did not mind and said seriously:
"Thank you."
After Xie Qingxuan spoke, as if she thought of something, she hesitated for a while before taking something from her pocket. Under Little Sakura’s puzzled gaze, she reluctantly placed it in the other girl’s hand and said earnestly:
"This is for you. I haven’t used it yet; I will send you the app later."
Kirimi Miyuki looked at the round object in her palm, her brain pausing for a moment before starting to race. After five seconds, she finally realized what it was, and her cute face turned bright pink as she nearly threw the little toy away, as if it were something dirty.
But at that moment, the golden retriever’s pure gaze created the strongest hold. This honest feeling, like breaking a cookie in half and directly offering you a piece, made it hard to say no.
Little Sakura felt too shy to throw it back. She endured the embarrassment, glanced at Liuli, and noticing that she hadn’t seen, quickly tucked the item into her clothes, biting her lip and said:
"Um, um, I don’t play with things like this, but thank you for your gift."
Although she had received a strange item, as long as she didn’t use it, there wouldn’t be any problems, right?
Xie Qingxuan happily withdrew her gaze. She sent the mysterious APP to Little Sakura, and after doing all of this, she got up and went to Chu Wang Shu’s room, pulling out a certain adorable daughter to quickly discuss what to eat.
Soon after, the little idols decided on a restaurant in three minutes, sent each other the location, changed their clothes, and went out.
Compared to Sea City, Vienna is a small city. Everyone gathered at a restaurant just before six-thirty within half an hour.
This place is called Twelve Apostles Winery. Austria has many wine bars built from underground cellars, commonly known as "Weinkeller," and this restaurant is certainly one of them.
Well, to put it in the words of a green-eyed cat, Austria’s food really isn’t as good as the hometown far away in Donghong, so it’s better not to think too much about the taste. Finding a restaurant that is fresh and has local features would make this trip worthwhile and considered a great success.
This restaurant was chosen for a reason. It has a long history and was built from a structure dating back to 1300. Its design was created by the royal architect, Hildebran. The space is not too big or too small; it can hold 300 people and has a lovely medieval charm.
When Chu Yuanqing walked in, she saw a statue of St. Paul at the entrance. He was one of the first leaders of Christianity. She and Charlotte found a square table that could seat six people and ordered some signature dishes, like clear beef stew, fried veal, and emperor pancakes.
Charlotte took the initiative to order a few bottles of wine and two bottles of juice.
The juice was for Liuli and her adorable daughter, while the wine was an important part for celebrating the reunion with the rest of their old friends!
Even though the little idol had imagined many things, nothing made The Last Diva happier than the meeting in New Game Plus; this meal was just to celebrate everyone’s reunion and meet the lovely daughter!
As for the chaotic scenes? Before everyone regained their memories, such things could possibly happen. However, since they will all eventually become one big family, these are just parts of the play, small harmless fun.
It’s easy to imagine that Charlotte probably sees this meeting as a family gathering.
After all, from her perspective, at the dinner, there is Chu Yuanqing as her lover and her adorable daughter, while the others are her good friends, close companions, Little Qing’s wife, and the mother of her lovely daughter. All these together create an unbelievable feeling of purity.
Chu Yuanqing looked at Charlotte, who was happily humming a tune. She couldn’t help but smile back, feeling happy too. Her memories were quite incomplete, but she could share the same excitement and joy through the other person, and her worries about the chaos faded away.
Soon, the little stars all arrived at the restaurant together.
Xie Qingxuan nodded at Charlotte. When she saw this person from her childhood, her heart filled with memories, and her usually cold and indifferent face softened a little. She asked directly,
"I feel like I know you. Do you know who I am?"
Charlotte’s eyes sparkled. She clearly understood the hidden meaning in those words. Happily, she moved closer and comfortably sat beside the golden retriever, her eyes shining as she showed a bright and infectious smile, saying in Daxia language,
"Of course, Little Xuan! I not only know your silly sister, but I’ve also known you for a long time. I’m really happy to see you. I think this must be fate."
Xie Qingxuan felt a bit confused. She did remember some fragments of Charlotte’s past and wanted to test her, but she didn’t expect the other person to openly admit it and so naturally cross her social boundaries.
The girl instinctively wanted to push her away.
However, The Last Diva’s voice was lively and inviting, like the scent of grapes mixed in a wine cellar, creating joyful notes in her soul. After hesitating for a moment, she found it hard to resist and could only show her silly and gentle side in front of a friend.
Charlotte quickly asked about the golden retriever’s likes and gave her a special perfume bought at the opera festival. She looked at the shocked Little Sakura and flashed a smile like a succubus, skillfully speaking in Japanese.
"I really like your stage, can I call you Miyuki?"
The Last Diva’s eyes sparkled brightly, the blue spreading like ripples; she was a fairy capable of capturing hearts, and her enchanting presence filled the entire wine cellar with a magical atmosphere.
The waiter, the boss, and the guests who recognized her couldn’t help but glance at each other, but seeing Charlotte’s joyful expression, they felt a shared thrill despite the overwhelming charm, and they were unwilling to interrupt.
Kirimi Miyuki felt a bit confused; she could only nod blankly and say okay, completely swept up in The Last Diva’s rhythm.
Before she had a chance to say anything, Charlotte took a beautifully wrapped gift box from her bag. After handing it over, she looked expectantly and said with a bright smile:
"By the way, I heard from Little Qing that you have a little sister, right? This is a specialty from Austria, a box of Mozart chocolate balls that kids should love!"
Little Sakura wanted to refuse, but when she heard it was for Yuki, she hesitated for a moment; looking at Charlotte’s cute smile, her desire to decline faded away like smoke, and she could only accept it.
Kirimi Miyuki thought for a moment and simply took out an amulet from her pocket, handing it over and saying:
"This is for you."
The words Xie Qingxuan said in the morning were unclear, but she had indeed awakened even the "Tempering of the Heart." She had some impression of Charlotte, like a shadow in a deep well, appearing and disappearing.
It was a very strange feeling, as if she had secretly longed for the other person’s treasure all along. Just thinking of them made her feel ashamed, guilty, and indebted, yet also nostalgic and happy. These mixed emotions felt very twisted and wonderfully strange.
So when she made the Amulet in the afternoon, she not only made one for her teammate but also, unexpectedly, made one for Charlotte.
As for the elements of the Amulet, it was different from the ones given to Chu Yuanqing (the little Sakura flower sometimes seen when Little Sakura helped), Little Shu (the moon), Liuli (the green-eyed cat), and Qingxuan (the golden retriever). The one for Charlotte was more dreamy, a magical crystal flower.
This idea came from instinct, as if she felt this person was like a crystal flower, so perfect that they could not exist in the world, appearing unreal and beautiful.
As for the color of the crystal flower, she chose her favorite, a beautiful and striking cherry blossom pink.
When Charlotte received the gift, she was obviously very surprised. She could sense the essence of "Tempering of the Heart" and felt the love and blessings inside. Although Miyuki had not fully regained her memory, this gift was already the biggest surprise.
A smile blossomed on the girl’s face, and she honestly expressed her joy:
"I’m so happy! I love this so much, thank you, Miyuki!"
Charlotte spoke a few more words to Little Sakura and then looked at the green-eyed cat, who was very alert and just wanted to pretend to be dead.
Tang Liuli was extremely scared; today, she actually met a terrifying woman who could match Honey Qing’s level of a succubus!
The most shocking thing was that the other person could even actively give off charm!
Little Sakura and the golden-haired dog couldn’t last even five minutes and had already declared defeat.
In the world of the green-eyed cat’s consciousness, Sage Liuli, who was trying hard to come up with a plan, had already vanished into thin air. Before leaving, she weakly said that it was hopeless. She closed her eyes, like a steadfast woman who would rather die than surrender, trying to resist the terrifying Charlotte by shutting off her senses.
Unfortunately, when The Last Diva called out to Liuli a few times and saw that she didn’t respond, she simply swapped seats with Little Sakura, curious to look at the trembling eyelashes of the green-eyed cat, pinching her face and pretending to be a Great Devil, threatening:
"If you don’t talk, I’m going to tickle you!"
And so, a second later,
Charlotte looked at Tang Liuli, who was timidly opening her eyes. It felt like she had returned to a distant past, seeing a junior who was covered in wounds, weathered by storms, and had lost all her fear and softness.
The Last Diva’s eyes were gentle, revealing a smile full of affection and nostalgia, softly greeting:
"Nice to meet you, Liuli."
Charlotte’s smile became playful as she gently pinched the cute, shy cat’s face and said the same words she had said the first time they met:
"My name is Charlotte. Don’t make that face! As your senior, I promise to take good care of you, so you don’t need to be so nervous or afraid. So… let’s get along well in the future, okay?"
