Annie glanced at Layton, then nodded slowly, "Okay, let's go."
Milu stood there, frozen in place.
Wait...wait, wait, wait, wait...!!
My parents aren't coming too, are they?!
At this moment, all the brave warriors present were deeply moved; they had fought for a year to protect their cherished families.
however……
Milu doesn't want to see her family!
It's not that I don't want to see them at all, it's just that my heart is too wavering.
After all, she wouldn't rush to her family crying like other heroes.
If her family asked about her achievements, she could only timidly reply, "I was gathering intelligence within the Saintess Squad!"
Could we skip this part and quickly invite Mr. An to receive his birthday present?
Suddenly, slime tentacles attacked from the front, wrapping around Miluko's waist and pulling her away from where she was.
"Eek!!" Milu's scream was drowned out by the voices of the hero and his family.
As family members of the three members of the Saintess Squad, they are quite easy to spot in a crowd.
After all, the Saintess Squad holds the highest status among the heroes, and the other heroes' families gradually gathered around them as they chatted.
Now that all the heroes have arrived, they may be a little scattered, but if you head in the direction with the most people, you should be able to find your way.
Rather, when looking for someone, shouldn't you look in places with lots of people?
Not everyone is like An Yi and Mi Lu, who like to stay in secluded corners. There's definitely a greater chance of finding the person you're looking for in crowded places.
Soon, the tall Layton spotted his daughter in the crowd.
The other person also spotted him and started shouting excitedly;
"Dad! I see Dad!"
Lulu sat on Any's father Asel's neck and pointed in the direction Layton had come from.
Layton laughed and waved, "Lulu! I'm coming right now!!"
After weaving through the crowds, familiar faces finally appeared before me.
Asel put Lulu down and let her run toward Layton.
Lady, dressed in an evening gown, smiled faintly beside him. Because she had been traveling around with Layton for some time and hadn't seen him for most of the day, she didn't excitedly hug him.
"An Yi!" An Yi's older sister, Annie, rushed over and hugged her brother with tears in her eyes. "Why haven't we heard a single word? We haven't even written a letter!"
An'i's mother, Elsa, also took An'i's hand and said, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
An Yi: "I don't know what to write."
On the other side, a gentleman with a mustache, accompanied by a lady, smiled and said, "My daughter, Milu, is very grateful for your patronage."
The elegant lady beside her also nodded slightly, her demeanor graceful.
However, among the crowd, there was a woman wearing a veil, with long golden hair and pointed ears, standing to the side in an emerald green dress.
An Yi looked at her: "Whose family member is this?"
Irene chuckled: "Could I call him a swordsman, for the time being?"
An Yi: "..."
Oh no, the guy whose accounts don't match up walked in.
Chapter 39 Irene's Most Important Gift (4k)
Logically, all the guests present should be on a list, and it should have been confirmed which hero's family member they were, with each family member corresponding to a specific hero.
But……:
Irene is not anyone's family member.
The main reason was that it was too easy for her to sneak into this kind of event. The believers had all the guests arrive at the venue, and as usual, there would be no surprises if the people on the list showed up.
People can't just disappear into the venue out of thin air, so there's no need to double-check the number of attendees. The believers responsible for serving the heroes' families and those responsible for checking entry are not the same group at all.
Therefore, as long as Irene sneaks in as soon as she enters, no one will suspect that she is not a real family member of the hero.
When asked why her ears were pointed, she simply said it was natural, so there was no need to ask any further questions.
"Never mind, what were you all talking about just now?" Annie asked.
"Hmm... when did this lady appear again?" Annie was also puzzled, wondering how such a beautiful lady had suddenly appeared among the crowd.
Was this woman... just here?
Irene: "You just arrived, how could you not come for something so important?!"
At this moment, the hero and his family were reminiscing and did not notice that the Saintess Squad's voices were suddenly mixed with various noises.
With a slight change in wind direction, people around them can't hear what they're saying. Even if they try to listen carefully, they're only distracted by the surrounding noise and can't hear the real content.
An Yi noticed this subtle change and decided to stop pretending: "Well then, let me introduce you all. This is my master."
A master swordsman.
Aside from that, he didn't want to say any more details, such as names, leaving it to Irene to decide whether to tell him or not.
"Master? The Sword Hero's master?" A look of astonishment flashed in the eyes of the gentleman with a mustache standing next to him.
Everyone knows how powerful the Sword Hero is, but just how exquisite is the swordsmanship of the Sword Hero's master?
"Excuse me, I am Brown Zinza, the father of the hero Milco Zinza."
This is my wife, Perry Carter.
The head of the Sinsa family then realized that he hadn't had a chance to introduce himself.
After all, Irene appeared suddenly, or even had just blended into the crowd a second before.
On one hand, he was surprised that An Yi had a master; on the other hand, he was also astonished that the other party could appear among the crowd so quietly.
Is the opponent human, or a hero?
He couldn't even detect the other party's approach; if it was just an ordinary human, then it was no ordinary creature.
"Don't worry about it, I'm just here for fun. Just call me... whatever your name is, Miss." Irene smiled.
Actually, she just wanted to meet An Yi's family.
She had no interest in the other people's families.
Whether it's Miluco's family or Layton's family.
"Oh?! My son's mentor? How come I don't know him?"
Could it be that all those unfamiliar sword techniques An Yi has used since childhood were taught by you?!
Asel was filled with awe, recalling all the strange things An Yi had done in the past, and everything seemed to have a new explanation.
Could it be that An Yi didn't become a genius out of thin air, but rather that she was guided by a master after memorizing the secrets of the path from a young age?
Moreover, just by looking at her eyebrows and eyes, you can tell that she is a great beauty.
How come he didn't know there was such a beautiful woman in the village teaching An Yi swordsmanship?
"No, Uncle, you don't need to doubt An Yi's talent. He is a genius that comes along only once in a thousand years."
"I'm more interested in knowing what kind of father could raise such a gifted child," Elaine said very seriously.
She said it was a once-in-a-millennium event, and it truly was a once-in-a-millennium event.
An Yi: "..."
uncle?
Given your seniority, even my grandfather wouldn't be considered a grandson in front of you.
"Hahaha—it's all thanks to my relentless training of An Yi since he was a child! I constantly pushed him to improve his swordsmanship and encouraged him, which allowed him to unleash his talent in swordsmanship!" Asel said proudly, patting his chest.
"No, no, no, it's always been An Yi who's been training on her own, hasn't it?"
"I remember when Annie was very young, she started practicing swordsmanship as soon as she could pick up a wooden sword," Annie couldn't help but say from the side.
"Heh! They were influenced by me, weren't they?"
"I used to be the strongest swordsman in our village!" Asel coughed awkwardly, but quickly recovered.
“Indeed, although I am a genius, I only picked up a sword because I admired my father since I was a child,” An Yi said calmly.
“Right? Right? Hahahaha—” Asel laughed loudly, hands on his hips.
“Your father isn’t as hardworking as you,” Elsa, Annie’s mother, said with a light laugh.
This middle-aged woman always seemed to have a gentle personality and didn't talk much.
However, An Yi really liked her gentle mother.
She always worked hard silently and treated her family gently. An Yi had almost never seen her angry with anyone.
Because my father was a very proud person, he could lose anything but his pride. Whether at home or abroad, he always managed to be the "bad guy".
Whenever the villagers had any trouble, he would go there with his sword.
At home, he would beat and scold Annie whenever she got into trouble.
The mother naturally became a mediator, rarely needing to get angry.
An Yi, on the other hand, was a bit too childlike from a young age, making her an exceptionally easy person to care for.
He seems to still spend time with the children, but he doesn't actually like playing with them. It seems that practicing swordsmanship is the most fun for him.
As An-i's mother, Elsa naturally saw all of this.
That's her son, how could she not care?
Just as she said, Asel, as a father, is far less skilled than Anyi in terms of training.
"By the way, An Yi! Isn't today your birthday? Happy birthday!"
This is for you!
