Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#280 - Elizabeth's Gift

"Mom ~ You're here ~!"

"Come here."

"Oh… … Ah!"

Just as Liang Yue trotted to the door, before he could even open his mouth to compliment the woman in front of him, his mother's hand twisted his ear.

Deaf to his deliberate screams, she twisted it left and right a few times, looked him up and down for a while, then released his ear and said in a flat tone.

"It's only been a few months, but you've grown taller again, and you've improved, but there are a few more women."

"Hehe ~ About this matter, I actually have a good reason."

As he spoke, Liang Yue subconsciously rubbed his ear, just about to talk to his mother about Sister Zi and Xiaozhao and the others, Aunt Liu walked in from the hall, with Chief Nurse Lu Yao following closely behind.

Seeing this, Liang Yue decisively changed the subject.

"Aunt Liu, Sister Lu Yao, Merry Christmas ~"

"What secrets are you two whispering about?"

"We're not saying anything, I just got back, and my mom saw that I've grown taller and almost didn't recognize me."

In the X-Men series, Professor Xavier transformed his ancestral home into a school, and the basement was the military base for the mutant X-Men.

In fact, the situation is roughly similar in the current mixed world~

After walking into the hall, the first thing that hits you is an air of elegance. The architectural style here is very classical, with dark tones, but the overall style makes people feel very warm.

Teacher Shizuka, Sister Zi, and Saya Takagi are currently wearing black and white maid outfits, standing in a row to the side, while Aunt Yuriko is wearing a low-key robe, dressed as a housekeeper.

Alvin is sitting in front of the Golden Legend piano on one side of the hall, playing meticulously.

Yang Buhui, Xiaozhao, Nana, and Rika Minami don't know where they've run off to for the time being, but they should still be in this castle.

"Welcome back ~"

At this time, the young ladies seemed to have entered their respective roles. Seeing Liang Yue enter the house, they immediately bowed slightly and offered their greetings.

"Cough ~ This is my mom."

"This is Aunt Liu, and Sister Lu Yao."

"Hello, Madam, Hello Ms. Liu, Hello Ms. Lu ~"

"Well, you guys go ahead and get busy, just send some refreshments over later."

"Yes ~"

"By the way, Liang Yue-kun, this is a package that a courier delivered earlier."

Just as she was about to leave, Teacher Shizuka suddenly remembered something, so she turned around and handed him a square gift box from her arms.

"Oh ~ Thank you."

"You're welcome ~!"

"Eh? It's actually that little girl Elizabeth who sent it, a Christmas gift? That's more like it, she finally didn't forget about me ~"

Looking at the sender's name on the package, Liang Yue immediately curled the corners of his mouth, but before he could take the next step, his mother leaned over from the side.

"Elizabeth? I heard that she's your little girlfriend?"

"Huh? Who did you hear that from… …"

"Your Aunt Liu."

"Cough… … We established a relationship when we were at school before, but some time ago, something happened at her home, so she went back, and I guess we won't be able to see each other for a long time. I didn't expect her to send a gift over."

"Open it and take a look, it's a little girl's heart."

Aunt Liu also turned out from the other side of Liang Yue at this time, and said with a look that was both smiling and not smiling.

Chief Nurse Lu Yao was also standing in the back, secretly observing.

"Well ~ Let's go inside first, I've also prepared a lot of gifts for you these days."

As he spoke, Liang Yue hugged the gift box in his arms and stepped up the stairs with the three of them, and then came to a comfortable living room on the second floor.

The winter sun shone in through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, covering the room with a layer of warm light.

The little girl Nana was squatting in front of the fireplace, adding firewood to it.

Little King Kong was holding a pole, also squatting to the side, with a sweet potato stuck on the other end of the pole and roasting it… …

Seeing Liang Yue and the others walk into the room, Nana quickly stood up at this time and gave him a sweet smile.

"Brother ~"

"Squeak squeak!"

"Are you tired?"

"Not tired! Nana can do it!"

"Brother has prepared a gift for you, I'll give it to you later."

"Yeah ~!"

… …

Not long after taking their seats, Aunt Yuriko directed Xiaozhao and Yang Buhui to walk in, each carrying refreshments.

Liang Yue then began to chat with his mother, Aunt Liu, and Lu Yao.

After they ate some snacks, drank milk tea, and slowly got excited, this guy secretly took the gift box sent by Elizabeth from the side, opened it and took a look.

He found that there were two things inside, one of which was a scarf, with burgundy and dark blue colors interspersed, looking very British, but the workmanship was a bit rough.

Could it be that the blonde girl knitted it herself… …

The other item was an envelope, but there was nothing written inside, but three photos were stuffed in.

One of them was a shot taken from an aerial angle, and it was of a very high precision.

Liang Yue recognized it almost at a glance. The scene in the photo was his manor.

In addition, on this photo, there were also several circles randomly circled with a red marker, and there were small dots inside the circles.

Upon closer inspection, the circled dots seemed to be the figures of Teacher Shizuka, Xiaozhao, Nana, and the others… …

The second photo was a close-up of Elizabeth with her blonde hair up. At this time, the blonde girl was squinting her eyes, pursing her small mouth, with a threatening look on her face.

In the photo, she stretched out two slender index and middle fingers, and then pointed them left and right at her own eyes.

As for the third photo, it was still that expression, but the two fingers had turned from the direction of her own eyes to the side of the camera.

Looking at the three photos sent by Elizabeth, Liang Yue almost understood the meaning to be expressed inside.

That is… …I'm always watching you… …

This seems to be Elizabeth expressing her dissatisfaction with Liang Yue finding several maids, and issuing a death warning.

"Okay, it seems that this blonde girl is quite vigilant. I guess she knows almost everything I've been doing during this period of time."

Thinking of this, Liang Yue also shook his head with a chuckle, and then took the lid of the gift box next to him and looked at the address sent on it.

"177a Bleecker Street, Manhattan?"

"Huh? Isn't this, that ~ the magician's, New York Sanctum?"

"Is Elizabeth working there? Or is she just forwarding the express delivery from there through the magician's organization… …"

"It seems that I really have to find some time to go over and take a look, and by the way, give her the Christmas gift as a make-up."

… …

"Liang Yue ~"

"Huh? What's the matter, Mom?"

"I just discussed it with your Aunt Liu and plan to stay in New York for a while, what do you think?"

"Of course it's good… …"

"That's good. Before coming to the United States, I have already entrusted your Aunt Liu to take care of the school affairs for you. When the time comes, you will officially transfer to your current high school, and you will go directly to college here in the future."

"Oh… … What about the affairs in China?"

"Let's put things in China on hold for the time being. As for the household registration and visa ~"

"The household registration will not be transferred."

"What I mean is, I'll get you a long-term green card."

"… … That's okay too."

… …
