Chapter 1267 Almost a Happy Reunion
Outside, the blizzard was in full force. The snowkes almost obscured Pablo''s white robe.
He would be almost invisible while hovering in the snow, if not that he had a green bird on his shoulder.
Lilly''s eyes widened in delight. "Master!"
Pablo came closer to the window. Other than Polly on his shoulder, there was also a kitten on his head,
a ck cat on the other shoulder, and a tortoise in his hand.
"Wow! Master, you''re…"
Pablo said, annoyed, "We''re here. Everyone get off!"
Polly pped into the room while squawking, "This is the final stop! Everyone get off! F*ck! I''m
freezing!"
Pablo said nothing, though he resisted the urge to make roast bird for the thousandth time.
A shadow flitted past the air.
Bellflower attack!
Before Polly couldnd on the radiator, she jumped in fright again. "Bellflower, you Rookie! Do you
miss me that much?"
"…"
Esper found a soft cushion next to the window. He sat on it and closed his eyes.
No, I''m not here for the anchovies…
I''ve heard that the King of Hell has officially returned. Now that the year is almost over, I''ve got to report
to my boss.
Lilly wanted to brush the snow off Pablo''s robe, but she found that he was clean.
"It must have been a long journey, Master," Lilly said.
She could have brought Polly and Tortoise home, but Pablo had left her a message, saying that he
would bring them home instead.
"It was okay," Pablo said while patting Lilly''s head. "Are we waiting for anyone else?"
Lilly tried to think.
Grandpa and Granny are here. All the uncles, Aunt Lisa, Mommy, and the spirits in the jar of souls are
here too…
All my elder brothers and sisters…
Bellflower, General, Bailey, Polly, Mr. Tortoise, and even Esper and King of Styx are here.
There''s also Master and Daddy…
"I think everyone''s here!" Lilly said.
ke was passing by Lilly''s room when he saw a kitten sitting in the corridor.
All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
"Huh? This kitten looks familiar."
He walked past it.
Hey! What the? Did the two-legged beast forget about me? Meow!
Where are my anchovies? Don''t you know you should bring children presents at Christmas?
"Meow! Meow!" Little Heartless pounced on ke''s foot and snarled at him.
Are you ditching me once I''ve outlived my usefulness? You scumbag!
ke smiled. He raised his hand, and Little Heartless suddenly found itself in his hand.
What? I haven''t seen him in a while, and his powers have already outgrown mine!
"Meow?"
ke raised his eyebrows. "Are you here to visit too? Did you bring any presents?"
"…"
I''m just a kitten! Why do I need to bring anything? Where''s yourmon sense? Huh?
ke walked into the room and ced the kitten on Lilly''sp.
"Oh?" Lilly was surprised.
We have three cats at home now!
"Is it you, Little Heartless? You''re so cute! Do you want an anchovy?"
Lilly remembered the little kitten. She had spent a can of anchovies on it.
Little Heartless'' eyes sparkled. Even though it tried to look as though it said "I''m fine, thank you," it
could not help but gulp greedily.
Lilly took a can of anchovies and fed it one.
Esper saw all that.
I''m not going to act cute just for an anchovy!
Bellflower was already hiding in her corner. She narrowed her eyes before slowly lying down and
grooming her fur.
Pablo handed a bag of holding to Lilly. "Here''s some local produce."
Lilly was surprised. She forgot to bring anything from the underworld. Even though she could teleport
back there and get something, it was not as thoughtful as her master''s gesture.
"Thank you, Master!"
ke came back to the room with some snacks and took the bag of holding downstairs.
…
Ivan was frustrated. When he met Lilly yesterday, he totally forgot to give her the ring.
How could I have forgotten about it?
Never mind. When she visits me in two days, I can give it to her with the other things I''ve gathered over
the past few years.
He frowned again when he remembered the mysterious figure who had tried to kill him.
Who could that be?
As long as he didn''t know the identity of that person, he could not be at ease.
