Chapter 18 My little sister has recovered from her illness...
The storm's erosion was a provocation to all the resting waves. Before the gradually recovering oak, the soaring praises silently repelled the sharp blades. Thus, Enid, as if in the midst of a fiery battlefield, gradually regained a sliver of clarity under the radiance of life. In her half-dreaming, half-awake state, she seemed to hear...
Hearing her father say, "Of course I love you," startled her slightly. She tried to open her eyes, but couldn't. Through her hazy vision, she could only see a hint of panic in her father's deep blue eyes. When she awoke again, she could only see the moon, which should have been cool and clear, half-hidden, revealing a gentle light. But dawn was clearly approaching, and she vaguely realized it was already breaking.
The moon was looking at the sun, while her father was looking at her from outside the door, and another pair of blue eyes held even gentler emotions.
"Good, it looks like you're finally alright."
Bruce, unusually, didn't stay in bed. He noticed something amiss with the monitoring equipment and rushed over, just in time to see Enid getting out of bed and approaching the window. She looked much the same as she had a few days ago; her pale complexion from when she was sick seemed to have recovered. Dick walked over beside him.
"Thank goodness you're alright. Maybe I shouldn't have taken you for a drive. I'm sorry."
"This has nothing to do with you, brother. If it wasn't that day, it would have been the next day. You'll find me sooner or later."
Enid smiled and shook her head. "The Storm Child's consciousness seems to be showing some signs of awakening, but it is not fully awake. It may be too late to stop it. This is caused by the power he leaked. I cannot find his whereabouts until he is fully awake. However, perhaps after the Holy Forest is rebuilt, I can seek the guidance of the Mother Goddess."
She was actually dressed warmly that day and wouldn't have caught a cold. Then she looked at Bruce, a little nervous. She opened her mouth as if to ask something, but ultimately gave up. However, Dick seemed to have figured something out, and his tone was teasing: "Are you wondering if Bruce said something to you while you were asleep?"
"Hmm, how did you know?"
She looked at Dick with some surprise. Bruce felt a little helpless, so he quickly thought of how to change the subject. "The reconstruction work on the periphery of Saint Lin, as well as some other things above, has been completed. The high-tech disabling rune you gave me has also been tested. It's a perfect method; all high-tech equipment entering it will be automatically destroyed, with no possibility of recovery. However, once the rune is destroyed, the effect will also disappear." He also sent Enid a more detailed test report, including Enid's next training plan.
Enid was shocked as she read the long and unfamiliar text. To be honest, it was the first time she had ever learned the full extent of the uses of her runes, including the precise efficacy and applications of the potions she had concocted.
"So these are the many uses?"
"You should learn to understand your own abilities first, and then learn how to use them correctly."
Bruce was right. Enid was actually quite unfamiliar with her own abilities, a point Enid herself did not deny. In fact, if it weren't for the information Bruce sent her, she wouldn't even know that her abilities and these items had so many effects, but now she did.
She smiled quietly, then glanced at Bruce.
"So, shall we set up the camping area on the outskirts of the Sacred Forest? That way, I can go and set up the center and the runes later." The reconstruction plan for the Sacred Forest has added another layer to the original plan. This outer perimeter of the Sacred Forest, arranged by Bruce, is a combination of ordinary trees and specially made monitoring equipment. It's an extra layer added to the original Sacred Forest to conceal the real entrance and exit.
"Let's go eat first. We can go camping tomorrow. I need to make sure you've fully recovered."
“I agree with Bruce on this point. I don’t agree with you rushing over now before we’re sure you’ve fully recovered. Alfred is already waiting for us, and your friends have been anxiously waiting outside.”
Dick gently patted Enid's shoulder, gesturing for her to look out the window. There, shimmering with light, was Seren. Seren's white, almost transparent body and antlers glowed, but a striking black cat sat on his back—Naya. Seren seemed eager to get close to Seren and almost rushed over, while Aura looked at him sadly, and Lyra let out a fierce cry.
"Sorry...it won't happen again, don't worry." She apologized to them, but Dick smiled helplessly. "I guess maybe they don't need your apology, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Seid let out a long howl to show her approval of Dick. Enid followed Dick and Bruce out, and Bruce said with a smile, "Actually, they were just worried about you, just like I and your other family members. They hope that this won't happen again, so be careful in the future. If anything seems wrong, you can tell us in advance, okay?"
In fact, in the later analysis, Bruce and Tim both believed that Enid might have some kind of connection with the Stormborn, but based on Tim's understanding of Enid during this period, he thought that Enid might face this matter alone. As for this, Alfred's opinion was...
"This is truly worthy of being the master's child, isn't it?"
Bruce could only laugh awkwardly at this, and then brought it up at just the right moment. It wasn't just because of his desire to control or anything else, but also because he was worried about his child as a father. Of course, he didn't want his child to face all of this alone.
After Bruce brought this up, the other five didn't object and instead expressed their approval. Dick could even read "You did a great job" in Aura's beautiful big eyes.
"It seems they agree with me?"
“Alright, I agree then… I’ll let you know if anything happens.” Enid touched Aura’s cheek with a hint of helplessness, then touched the others one by one. Then, seeing Aura lower her head to let Enid sit down, she smiled and looked at Bruce and Dick with a sly look: “This is a rare opportunity, maybe one of you would like to ride with the Divine Messenger back?”
Bruce and Dick exchanged a glance, then looked at Sergeant with a "you got off easy" expression, walked up to Bruce, and walked up to Dick. Sergeant gave him a look that said, "You better watch out, kid." They then respectfully sat down. It was clear that they were moving rather fast, but very steadily. Dick couldn't help but reach out and touch the antlers, which were cool to the touch, like jade.
When they returned to the manor, Enid noticed that Tim had taken out his camera. He winked at her to keep it a secret, and Enid nodded excitedly. In reality, she didn't realize that these little gestures couldn't be hidden from the others. As for Damian, he was a little envious, though only a little, well, maybe.
After getting off Aura, Enid met Alfred's gaze. She tried to reach out and hug him, but was a little shy. "I thought Miss Fia, like the master and young master Dick, had forgotten about breakfast. But it looks good. At least my breakfast wasn't wasted, right? Of course, I'm glad you're alright."
Afu took the initiative to hug Enid. Of course, he could tell that the shy Enid wanted to hug him, so the poor old butler had no choice but to take the initiative.
After the hug, Enid seemed to be encouraged by something, and then rushed over and hugged Damian tightly. Damian struggled for a moment but ultimately did not throw her away. He looked at her indifferently, and then hugged Stephanie Timm and Bruce Dick in turn, and even Titus and the others.
“I’m so glad you’re alright. I think Barbara must be very happy, but she’ll probably be here a little later.”
"I'll hug her later! And Jason... remember I have a sister named Cassandra? Actually, I prepared gifts for all of you, but I'll give them to you when you're all here!"
"That sounds interesting!"
Stephanie was already looking forward to what the gift would be; it seemed she'd have to prepare a return gift. Damian, though seemingly indifferent, was also slightly curious about what she might prepare. Of course, Enid strictly adhered to the secrecy policy! She wouldn't tell anyone, not even when Dick stared at her with his beautiful blue eyes—she absolutely, positively, wouldn't! utter a word!
“It’s a shame Jay isn’t here.” Dick, feigning disappointment, chuckled and teased Jason with Tim. Tim thought for a moment, “Maybe we can wait until we go camping. I bet he’d love to get a hug from his new little sister.”
I don't need it—
Jason's words came through the earpiece, but who would believe them?
A note from the author:
----------------------
It's a super family-friendly story. Even the corpses I wrote are heartwarming. There's actually a little skit in the sequel about Mei Bao and Damian.
Meibao told Damian that Aura and the others were willing to let Damian ride, but only for a short while. Damian was instantly happy (?).
However, Afro said that perhaps it would be after Damian came home from school that Jonathan received a photo of Damian riding a unicorn at the racetrack, taken by Enid.
Why is Aura willing to let Damian ride her? Because Damian brushes Aura's fur every day, a task originally meant for Enid, but Damian takes it over. He not only brushes Aura's fur but also helps with other things! They take care of the animals together, lol.
