The fifth king of the elves

Chapter 374
Toru Soraki, who was in the meeting, was a little skeptical of the authenticity when he received the phone call from the housekeeper. After all, Mai should be with that brat Luther on Suzuran Island at this moment.

With a trace of doubt and anxiety, Kong Muche hastily announced the end of the meeting for the day, and rushed home in a hurry.

On the way, Sora Mutoru thought of many possibilities, from Luther bullying Mai to Mai recognizing Luther's true face.

He tried hard to think about how to speak when they met, but when Kong Muche stepped into the door of the house, he froze.

On the balcony of Mai's room, Sun Coral directed Ye Heimo to move out the closet where Mai stored clothes.

Mai itself doesn't have many things she wants to take away, in fact, she just wants to take away the things the elves like.

And Sun Coral likes this cabinet. She hatched in this cabinet back then, and played hide and seek with the sackcloth until she was found.

At this time, the night demon played the role of an excellent porter. He carried the cabinet and floated to the courtyard, packed the cabinet in a strong bag, put it on the Tanabata blue bird, and tied it up.

Geng Gui was talking to the wild elves in the courtyard.

Geng Gui distributed the elf food one by one, and the wild elves in the courtyard said goodbye to Mai on the balcony.

Under Boss Kedora's feet is the companion who has just scored the goal.

He took out the iron ore he treasured, and wanted to put it on the back of the Tanabata blue bird to take away with him. After seeing the fierce eyes of the Tanabata blue bird, Boscodola knew that there was no way to go, so he had to gnaw the iron ore on the spot.

This scene gave Soraki Toru a bad premonition. He was just about to go upstairs, but found Mai standing on the edge of the balcony, looking eager to try and jump.

Soraki Toru didn't have time to stop it, Mai jumped lightly and jumped down from the balcony.

The Night Demon Spirit caught Mai steadily in mid-air, and brought her to the ground.

Geng Gui was still distributing elf food, Boss Kedora was still eating iron ore, the Qixi blue bird flapped its wings twice to express its excitement, and the desert dragonfly turned its head away in disdain.

None of the elves were surprised or worried, but Toru Sora broke out in a cold sweat. He was about to step forward and reprimand Mai loudly, trying to make her understand how dangerous such a move was.

However, the moment he met Mai's eyes, Toru Soraki swallowed his words back.

A very indifferent expression, as if looking at a stranger, that sense of alienation made Toru Sora feel heartbroken for no reason.

Toru Soraki couldn't say a word he had thought up.

The same goes for sackcloth.

She had imagined what she would say after meeting Kong Muche, and said decisively goodbye.

But when things came to an end, she couldn't speak.

"Are you... leaving this house?" Sora Mutoru asked in a trembling voice.

Mai leaned on the soft wings of the Tanabata blue bird, hesitated for a moment, and nodded heavily.

Kong Muche took a deep breath, and tried to exhale the depression in his chest: "Shall we go into the room and talk?"

"No, let's talk here."

Mai didn't want to let her hard-won determination be shaken.

There are too many memories in this manor, and those memories may come out of her mind at any time, and she is very afraid that she will suddenly soften her heart.

Seeing Rong Mei, the butler asked the servants to stand at the gate of the house and watch from a distance, Sora Mutoru sighed.

"Is it because of Rongmei's problem? I admit it, and I know it will make you sad, but I really hope that you can always have a better environment to live in."

Mai shook her head: "It has nothing to do with her. I talked to her. She is a very kind person. Please treat her well in the future. No matter what you think in your heart, she really likes you."

Being persuaded by his own child in this way, Kong Muche couldn't hold back, so he could only respond vaguely.

"If it's not because of Rongmei, why did you insist on leaving?" Kong Muto asked urgently, "This will always be your home."

Mai's heart was stabbed, she didn't know how to face Toru Sora, so she lowered her head and tried to think for a moment.

"because of you."

The three light and fluttering words made Kong Muche full of astonishment, and trembled like an electric shock.

"Me?" Kong Mutoru asked.

"You still don't admit it?" Mai looked at the ground, gritted her teeth and said, "What's going on with Hirakawa Kazuto, and what's going on with Uematsu Hayata?"

"Are you really going to tell me you're totally ignorant?"

"Do you want to tell me that this is what the Uematsu family did, and has nothing to do with you!"

A series of questions left Kong Mu completely speechless, his lips trembled slightly, and after a long time, he sighed: "Yes, I admit that Heren is related to our family, they are trainers sponsored by our family."

"But what you said on the phone, his speech against Luther really has nothing to do with me. I didn't direct him like that."

Mai smiled after hearing this: "When I was a child, you once taught me that when a lie is exposed, either don't admit it, or admit it selectively."

Kong Muche hesitated to speak, with a resentful expression on his face: "Whether I was on the phone or now, I said I didn't know. You accused me of targeting Luther. I really didn't do that!"

"I'm your father...the person who loved you the most since childhood..."

"That's enough." Mai said in a low voice.

"Do you still remember that when you were sick, I was always by your side day and night?"

"Do you still remember the time you sneaked out to play and picked up Ibrahimovic? Do you know how afraid I was of losing you after you passed out?"

"and also…"

"I said, enough!"

Mai's shout stunned Soraki Toru.

"Why..." When he raised his head, tears flowed from Mai's eyes, "Why do you want to mention when you were a child..."

"I also want to go back to when I was a child...I want to know why my father became what he is now."

"Why stay with you, I can only feel uncomfortable now..."

Boss Kedora stuffed the last piece of iron ore into his mouth. Seeing Mai's expression, he hurried to Mai's side and glared at Kong Mutoru.

Sora Mutoru wanted to reach out and touch Mai, but Mai's cold eyes made Soragi put his hand down weakly.

"I really haven't targeted Luther. I have thought about finding someone to challenge him, but in the end I chose to give up..."

"I wanted to contact the alliance at the beginning of the conference and let Luther eat our family's sponsorship... But I didn't dare to do so because of your feelings."

"After all, this may make you think that this is me interfering with Luther's game... Looking back, the promising trainer was either taken first or refused to accept sponsorship. We finally chose Kazuto."

Kong Muche's eyes were red: "Why...you just don't believe me."

Mai burst into tears, choked up and said, "I really want to believe you...you are my father, you raised me up, and you were the one who sheltered me from the wind and rain..."

"But... I really don't know how to believe that what you said is true, don't you feel that something is wrong?"

Mai needs to speculate on every word of Toru Sora, and needs to think about whether it is another lie.

Frozen three feet does not happen in a day, Mai does not remember, nor does she know what the first and last lie Kumu Toru told her will be.

He promised himself that he would be able to travel after he recovered from his illness, but in the end he locked himself in the house and even drove away the elves in the house.

After the father and daughter had a long talk, Kong Muche contradicted his promise.

When he got his breeder qualification certificate, Toru Soraki tried to break his promise.

Too many lies.

Too much back and forth.

Parents also have credit ratings in their children's hearts. When parents lure their children with attractive rewards time and time again, when children work hard to complete their goals, they do not fulfill their promises.

In the eyes of children, such parents are no different from liars.

Especially the parents always think that the child has not grown up, and still use the means of childhood to hang the child's heart.

It's not that Mai doesn't believe it, it's really that Mai doesn't believe it!
"We are father and daughter...why do I want to guess whether your words are true?"

Mai's crying made Toru Soraki's tears well up, which he was trying to suppress.

It shouldn't be like this, why did it evolve into what it is today?
Kong Muche hugged his head in pain, he really wanted to know what he did wrong.

"Let me go...Let's stay farther away, let me go farther away, maybe we will all change in the future, at that time, after we each take a step back, we may understand each other." Mai begged, "Let's keep the last bit of family affection, please?"

"I really like Luther, you may think that I am still a child, and I don't know what liking is..."

"When he wakes up early, he will help Ji Lidan make breakfast. If I oversleep, I can have a hot breakfast together."

"When I was taking the qualification certificate exam, I accidentally fell asleep after reading and staying up late. It was he who secretly helped me close the window and covered me with a blanket."

"Every time he is in danger, he will protect me behind him first."

"On the way to Qiefeng City..."

There are too many. When I think about it now, Mai realizes that she and Luther had so many unforgettable memories.

The ordinary daily life is just some trivial fragments, but it makes her want to have more.

Mai choked with sobs and said softly, "Dad, this time I want to make my own decision."

Mai took the Poké Ball that Boss Kedora was hugging and put it in the bag.

After collecting Boss Kedora, Geng Gui and Night Demon into the elf ball, Mai climbed onto the desert dragonfly.

Kong Muche turned around dejectedly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go."

As if the shackles on Mai's body were untied, Mai's body loosened and she patted the desert dragonfly.

The desert dragonfly fluttered twice and flew into the air, followed by the Tanabata blue bird carrying a wardrobe.

Mai waved vigorously at the old housekeeper and servants, until the whole manor gradually became an invisible point.

Feeling the oncoming wind, bathing in the warm sunshine, the sackcloth with hair fluttering in the wind wiped away tears.

Taking out the elf ball in the backpack, each sackcloth rubbed their cheeks.

"Now, let me take you home."
