Fallen Chronicles

Chapter 420 420: Birthday Present part 2

Just as Orro was racking his brain, trying to figure out how to convince his sister that this sword wasn’t placed here by someone, but was a genuine treasure from the coffin, Liya clapped her hands and became even more excited. She explained to her brother in advance:

“I understand now! Our sincerity must have moved the Great Emperor’s Sword, so it miraculously appeared and showed affection towards us. The current warmth on the sword represents its recognition of us!”

After happily explaining, Liya added, “I’ve read this in many storybooks!”

Orro: “…”

“Sister…”

“Hmm?”

“Maybe read fewer storybooks.”

“No way!”

Regardless, this adventure accompanying his sister had finally come to a satisfactory conclusion.

Now that they had obtained the treasure, Orro was ready to climb out of the coffin.

To be honest, as a neat and image-conscious little boy, Orro couldn’t stand staying in this dusty coffin any longer.

However, just as the little boy was about to climb out, unexpectedly, a hand reached out from behind him and pulled him back.

“Wait a moment, Orro. We can’t leave yet!” Liya, sitting inside the coffin, had a serious expression.

As Orro was puzzled, Liya’s next action left him stunned.

Liya first made a sincere apology to the “Great Emperor’s Sword.” Then, with a “sorry,” under Orro’s shocked gaze, his sister actually grasped both ends of the “Great Emperor’s Sword,” took a deep breath, and…

“Ha!”

Liya shouted with all her might, her purple dragon eyes flashing with power patterns. The girl’s arms exerted force downward, smashing the Great Emperor’s Sword against her knees with great strength.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, by the time Orro reacted, the carefully prepared Great Emperor’s Sword that he had spent several months making to be very realistic was now…

Broken in half.

Liya had forcefully snapped it in two.

At this moment, Liya, holding the hilt in one hand and the blade in the other, muttered strangely, “Eh? Has my strength increased again? I originally thought it would take several hits, but it actually broke in one go. Is the legendary Great Emperor’s Sword this fragile?”

Of course, the real Great Emperor’s Sword wouldn’t be this fragile.

The one you snapped was the model I had painstakingly made day and night!

Orro couldn’t say these bitter words, of course.

He only had one question now.

“Liya, what exactly are you doing…”

The girl didn’t answer Orro’s question immediately.

Liya hesitated between the blade and hilt for a few moments, then finally, as if making a painful sacrifice, handed the larger blade fragment to Orro.

“For you!”

“For me?”

“Alright, take it quickly, or I’m afraid I might change my mind!”

Under Liya’s urging, Orro dazedly took the blade fragment, and Liya finally let out a long sigh, revealing a happy smile, and gave the boy an explanation.

“This is…”

“A thank you for helping me prepare Daddy’s birthday gift!”

In a few days, it would be her dad’s birthday. Liya wanted to give her dad a unique and heartfelt gift. She racked her brains and finally recalled the story her dad had told her about the mysterious coffin.

However, Liya knew that she couldn’t go on this adventure alone, so she brought along Orro, her closest brother, which led to the current scene.

The reason Liya was so dejected and sad, even crying, when she discovered the coffin was empty without any treasure, was because this meant she couldn’t give her dad a unique birthday gift.

But now, she had found the “most unique” precious gift.

Similarly, Liya didn’t forget about Orro. Although they had different mothers, they shared the same father.

Her brother must also be preparing a gift, and he had helped her so much, accompanying her on this adventure. So Liya decided to split her precious gift in two and give Orro a share.

This way, although her gift might not be as precious, at least it allowed her brother to have something to give his father too!

This was Liya, the sister who made him feel both exasperated and fond.

Realizing his sister’s thoughtfulness, Orro definitely wouldn’t say something like “actually, I had already prepared a gift for Father long ago.” The little boy just nodded and gratefully accepted his sister’s gift.

“Hehe, mission accomplished! Let’s go home!”

“Before giving the gift to Father, don’t forget to take the sword as proof and turn in our mission at the Ashen Association first.”

“Ah! Orro, good mentioned it, I almost forgot. This time, we also took on the D-rank mission of ‘Exploring Relic Caves’ from the association! This way, I can be promoted to an E-rank Valkyrie! Orro, you can become an E-rank Ashen Operator too, right?”

“Sorry, sister, I’m already a C-rank Elite Operator.”

“Wh-what! How did you level up so quickly? Tell your sister!”

“Not telling.”

“I will treat you to a meal!”

“No need, I have pocket money from Mother.”

“Then, then I will wear your church’s nun outfit and help your church recruit people, that should work, right?” The dragon girl seemed to be going all out.

Unfortunately, she was met with Orro shaking his head like a rattle drum: “Please don’t.”

“Hmph! Stinky brother! Stinky Orro, just like a little old man! If you won’t tell me, fine. It’s no big deal. I’ll go find Sister Mina later and have her directly promote me to an S-rank Valkyrie at the association! Hmph!”

As the two children walked further and further away, finally disappearing into the cave, the originally dark tomb once again flickered with light.

Following that, three figures appeared here.

The young man among them looked at the opened coffin with a sigh.

“Hehe~, It seems the gift that Honey prepared for them is no longer needed,” Suthia gently shook her head.

“Indeed…”

Renji flicked his wrist, putting away the real Great Emperor’s Sword.

Of course, Renji knew that Liya and Orro had come here to explore and prepare a birthday gift for him. He also knew that there was actually nothing inside the coffin.

Letting his daughter return empty-handed and heartbroken was something Renji definitely couldn’t do. So he had come here in advance, waiting to bestow a miracle upon the two children, just like in the stories Liya imagined.

As a result…

“Orro is more like an older brother.” Nova and Renji, along with Suthia, had watched the entire scene in secret. Orro’s little actions certainly couldn’t escape their notice.

“No, Nova, Liya clearly has more of an older sister’s demeanor. She knows how to share, unlike my Orro.”

Seeing the harmonious duo and the close relationship between the children, Renji felt very gratified.

After becoming mothers, everyone’s aggressiveness had weakened. There shouldn’t really be anyone who, after becoming a mother, would still engage in a battle royale and bloodshed, right?

“So, Nova, share Honey with me tonight. I think Orro needs a little sister to learn these things!” Suthia commented seriously.

In response, Nova face was just a “?” before…

“I can also give Orro a little sister.” Nova wasn’t about to lose.

“No, no, no, let your younger sister do it.”
