NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7: Shattered Routine
"Tomorrow is your two tenth birthdays. Do you want any presents?" Mr. Hawthorne suddenly asked during dinner.
"How can you just ask someone what gift they want, you bastard?" Mr. Granger rolled his eyes.
"There's no surprise, really.
Glenn glanced at his silly father who was scratching his head:"I hope you haven't forgotten the gift you promised me before."
Mr. Hawthorne had promised to give Glenn a dagger on his tenth birthday.
"That's a must, a man should keep his word. He slapped his chest
"Can you give me some hints?" Then he blinked and looked at Glenn expectantly.
"……"Forget it. I'll go back and talk to him again in private.
"I want that encyclopedia." Hermione raised her hand to answer. She had been eyeing that huge book for a long time.
Mr. Hawthorne made a gesture to Hermione."OK"and then gave Mr Granger a provocative smile.
"Hey"
……The fist is hard.
Mr. Granger's face is dark. This damn guy is trying to steal my daughter every day.
Everyone laughed, and the restaurant was filled with a happy atmosphere.
"Come to our house to celebrate later tomorrow. I'll go back and set up the place and do some shopping tomorrow. You usually cook dinner, but this time it's our turn to show off our skills."
Mrs. Hawthorne rolled up her sleeves in high spirits.
"Please come back early after school tomorrow."
"good~"""Yeah."
After dinner, the adults were talking enthusiastically about tomorrow's arrangements, while Glenn was washing dishes silently in the kitchen.
In a blink of an eye, he has been here for almost 10 years.
Peace, tranquility, and a beautiful life are like a dream, which makes Glenn sink into it.
The current life is intertwined with the hard days in the previous life, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
The feelings that have never been felt are constantly fermenting in his heart, making him a little obsessed.
Looking down, a scarred arm gradually overlapped with Glenn's white hand and disappeared.
Glenn was afraid that all this was false, and was afraid that the life in front of him would shatter like a bubble the moment he opened his eyes.
If there really are ten kings of hell, then thank you for giving me, a wicked man with blood on my hands, a chance to experience the beauty of the world.
I am willing to use all my future reincarnation opportunities in exchange for the happiness and peace of my family's lives in this life. It doesn't matter what happens to me. I hope my father, mother, the Grangers, and Hermione can have a good life.
Living in the present is his chance to atone for his past life.
"I hope you guys don't know what's good for you." Glenn's eyelids sank, a dangerous light flashed in his pupils, and he muttered to himself.
"Who doesn't want to be ungrateful?"Hermione, with wet hair, walked into the kitchen in her slippers and took a bottle of milk from the refrigerator, looking at Glenn curiously.
"God."
Hermione chuckled:"I don't know when you believed in God."
Sitting on the chair and swinging her legs, Hermione drank milk and propped up her chin, staring at Glenn blankly.
Messy black long curly hair covered his eyes. Glenn was wearing an apron and standing on the chair to wash the dishes neatly.
"Don't wait for me, go upstairs and read a book first, I'll go back and take a shower and come find you later." Glenn stopped what he was doing and looked at Hermione helplessly.
"Humph, you big fool." Hermione turned her head to the side, got up and walked upstairs to the bedroom
""Lululu~" After walking a few steps, she turned back, stuck out her pink tongue, and made a face.
Glenn watched Hermione walk up the stairs and turned back to wash the dishes.
————The night passed quickly.————
"Happy birthday." In the morning, Glenn was waiting downstairs at Hermione's house and received Hermione's
"Happy birthday! And you didn't call me sister." Hermione handed the things in her hand to Glenn.
"You are one year older but still not as tall as me. This is my birthday gift to you."
"What is this?" Glenn stared at the small bag-like thing on his hand.
"It's a Chinese amulet. I saw that you like Chinese culture so much, so I made it by hand.
Hermione crossed her hands behind her, bent down slightly, and smiled sweetly.
The amulet was embroidered with Hermione and Glenn's names.
"Why is your name so big, while mine is so small and still in the corner? Glenn wondered.
"This... this means it's from me, you're so annoying." Hermione turned her head away
"I like it very much. Thank you. I will keep it with me and keep it safe. Glenn looked at Hermione and said seriously, and put the amulet neatly in his chest pocket.
Hermione blushed, hesitating and not knowing what to say, and suddenly looked at Glenn expectantly.
"This is my gift to you. Glenn took out a light pink bracelet from his pocket.
He opened the clasp of the bracelet and revealed a sharp short knife.
"Bracelet knife, I made it according to the size of your wrist, the quality is absolutely reliable, and the style is also chosen according to your preference."
He took Hermione's hand and buckled the bracelet on the girl's slender white wrist.
"You can use it to protect yourself when I'm away."
"But I'm a girl"
"So I used pink as the main material. Glenn said seriously.
The girl smiled, like the warm sunshine in winter.
"I like it too……"Hermione lowered her head and stroked the bracelet
"……You." He whispered the second half of the sentence, but Glenn didn't care.
"Let's go to school"
……
So uncomfortable.
After school, Glenn felt uncomfortable again.
This inexplicable feeling stimulated his spirit again and again today, as if warning him of something.
Whether in his past life or this life, Glenn's intuition was very sharp.
Something bad was going to happen...
He frowned slightly.
Hermione looked at Glenn worriedly.
The little girl also noticed that something was wrong with Glenn.
"It's okay." Glenn shook his head, trying to dispel the uneasiness.
"Let's go back early. My dad and his family should be waiting for us at home. My uncle and aunt said they will arrive later."Glenn said solemnly, and walked towards home with Hermione.
After a while, they came to the main road in front of Glenn's house.
Glenn covered his forehead, and there were thousands of needles stimulating him in his head.
He held Hermione.
"Something is wrong."
He paused.
Something is wrong!
The next moment, he suddenly pulled Hermione into his arms and threw her to the ground.
At the same time, Glenn's house exploded, and raging fire spread from inside the house to the outside.
In the sea of fire, a black figure was laughing wildly.
""Boom!"
A deafening explosion resounded through the sky.
Then, a pattern appeared above the house: a huge skeleton, composed of countless green star-like things, and a big python emerged from the skeleton's mouth, like a tongue. Glenn quickly stood up and carried the frightened Hermione away from the danger zone.
"Go find Mr. Granger and the others!" Glenn put Hermione on the lawn.
"What about you?" Hermione asked in a trembling voice before she came to her senses.
"I'm going to kill that damn arsonist."
Glenn felt extremely angry and scared at the moment.
He didn't know what this feeling was, but the killing intent poured out of him.
He wasn't sure, nor did he want to be sure, whether his parents were in the house.
But this didn't stop him from wanting to cut the black-robed man who was laughing wildly and emitting disgusting malice in the flames into pieces.
After taking a deep look at Hermione, Glenn turned and ran towards the flames. A dagger slipped from his right sleeve.
All his emotions turned into boundless killing intent.
