Mephisto stared at the deacon for a long time, seemingly trying to confirm whether every word he said came from the heart.
After a moment of silence, the deacon reached out and removed one of his eyeballs.
“This contains my core data, which I transferred over a second ago. I will give Qianyuan full access to modify and enable it, so even if he wants to destroy it, he can.”
The bionic AI's eyeballs are not real eyeballs, but merely replicas sculpted from glass, so the terrifying scene that Chiyuki imagined did not occur.
But when he saw the butler's eye socket, which looked like a black hole, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
When did his lover lose all five human senses?
It's like an empty shell.
The thought popped into Qianyuan's mind, just like when he had a lover a long time ago.
This time, the power fluctuation gradually increased, causing Qianyuan's memories to recover more slowly.
But whenever she saw the butler, scenes from the past would always appear one after another.
Countless hands held his, countless unfamiliar faces, but they all had a pair of familiar eyes.
Is it ■■■?
"Little one? Little one? Why are you spacing out?"
Muldur's voice woke him up. Qianyuan came to his senses and found that Mephisto had stopped interrogating the deacon. Everyone was watching him nervously.
"I'm fine."
Qianyuan smiled, but her face was somewhat pale.
Perhaps it was the return of his memories that made him realize that his time was really running out.
He buried his head and snuggled into Mephisto's arms: "Dad, I feel a little unwell, I want to go home and sleep."
Mephisto patted Qianyuan's head, picked him up like a baby, and took him back to the old house.
The old house remains unchanged, and although the butler's hair has turned a bit whiter, the rise of Lorenzo's generation has improved his spirits considerably, and he looks like he can work for several more decades.
Qianyuan often seemed distracted, as if she was anxious or panicked about something.
Mephius wanted to ask, but didn't know how to start. Every time the little guy saw him, he would enthusiastically run over to him and then cautiously ask:
"Dad, if I lied, will you be angry with me?"
"Don't be angry." Mephisto petted Qianyuan from head to toe like he was petting a kitten, making the little one hum happily in his arms.
“I burned your cookie box, but you weren’t angry with Daddy, so Daddy won’t be angry with you either.”
"Do you want some snacks? I'll ask that guy to make some for you. You spend half your time with him every day now, and even your dad isn't your favorite person anymore."
Mephius's jealousy was particularly amusing. Despite being a majestic general, he approached the children with the same terrifying expression as when he was on the battlefield, speaking in a calm tone, much like a lion turning its belly up in the most frightening way to show affection.
Qianyuan was already used to his father's behavior. He naturally untied the bite stopper and inhibition ring that Mephis considered vital, and gently released his pheromones to groom him.
"I love my dad the most. Dad will always be my favorite person."
Mephisto lay in Qianyuan's arms. He opened his eyes again, and his cold gaze seemed to see right through Qianyuan.
"If you do something that will definitely make me angry, or tell a huge lie, just say this and Dad will forgive you."
"It's okay, Dad loves you."
Mephisto was finally able to express the love he had never experienced before, and upon hearing this, Chien burst into tears.
Seeing this, Mephius opened his arms:
"Come here, let Daddy hug you."
The moment Qianyuan threw herself into his arms, Mephisto had both a weakness and armor.
He will always cherish Qianyuan and will always be Qianyuan's hero, invincible in battle.
Canaan, who was passing by, hadn't even had time to change out of his uniform before he pounced on them.
"I also need my little one to soothe my mental energy!"
Muld, who was following behind him, said helplessly, "You haven't even changed your clothes. Be careful Mephius doesn't hang you up and beat you again."
Canaan hugged Qianyuan and vigorously rubbed her face:
"I don't care! I have my baby, my baby will protect me!"
Seeing this, Mulder also came over and comfortably found a spacious grassy area to sit down.
When Serena saw that her family was waiting for her, she quickly pushed her new adjutant aside and rushed into Qianyuan and Canaan's arms.
"Sis!! Don't crush our baby!"
Qianyuan: "I'm fine, it's just Dad..."
Mephisto's face at the very bottom had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
At this point, the butler stopped their childish game of Jenga and made the young masters and ladies sit properly so that he could take a new family photo of them.
“Let me do it,” the deacon’s voice came. “I think you should also stand beside them.”
The butler glanced at the steward, smiled, and stood behind a group of Lorenzos, guarding them as always.
The butler took the photo, and only after Lorenzo and the others had happily copied it did he come to Qianyuan's side, print it out, and show it to her.
Qianyuan really loves this family photo, she loves it so much.
But he couldn't take anything from this world with him.
"Don't be afraid," the deacon said gently. "I've copied the data from the photos, so you can see them again through my eyes in the future."
