A young man from another world returned to his hometown.

Chapter 96 Fireworks Belonging to the Countryside

Lin Yan carried a bouquet of flowers and slowly walked back.

As soon as he turned the corner, he saw a few young people standing somewhat awkwardly at the other end of the open space in front of his house.

A-Qiang subconsciously hid his empty right trouser leg, while Da-Cheng turned to the side to cover his left hand, and Xiao Pi-Hou's older brother, Lin Shu-Qi, stood on the outermost edge with his cane.

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment.

"Oh, right, there are quite a few young people with amputated limbs in rural towns. I didn't expect there to be so many children with mobility issues in our village."

"Oh, you must be Nia's guest?"

Lin Yan brought a chair out of the house.

"Why are you standing? Sit down."

His tone was casual, as if he were greeting an old friend he had known for many years.

The group of people were taken aback for a moment.

"...Then we won't stand on ceremony."

The sun sets.

An evening breeze blew in from the direction of the stream, and the oven was set up.

Wearing an apron, Syl flipped her wrists with fluid movements, the meat sizzling on the grill, oil dripping onto the charcoal, releasing a fragrant aroma – this was her usual superb culinary skill.

Lin Yan held a handful of freshly picked wildflowers in her hands.

He wrapped his arms around Celie's waist from behind and held the bouquet of wildflowers up to her.

Xier turned her head away, leaned into Lin Yan's arms, tilted her face up, and her eyes curved into crescent shapes.

Taking this opportunity, the older brothers and sisters and Teacher Mu also came. Mu Jiuzhang also wanted to take this opportunity to study the children in the other world.

However, things didn't go as she wished, because Lin Jiayao kept pestering her to discuss business planning.

Several young people sat together drinking iced beverages.

"Comfortable."

Nia was carrying a plate of pork belly that Syl had just grilled. It was piled high before she put it on the table, but she ate half of it before she even got halfway there.

"Eat! Eat up! It's on me!"

The group burst into laughter when they saw Nia still licking her lips.

"Alright, alright!"

Nia placed the meat platter on the table, clapped her hands, and turned to face everyone.

"Here comes the main event!"

She jogged to the center of the open space, where firework tubes she had bought from the town's wholesale store were displayed.

Nia stood with her hands on her hips and her chin held high.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the store's prized possession, the biggest firework in town, which I purchased at great expense!"

Everyone put down what they were doing and fell silent, their eyes all focused on Nia.

The fuse ignites, and sparks fly into the firework tube.

Everyone held their breath.

puff~

A small swarm of sparks emerged from the top of the firework tube.

It was dim, barely reaching above knee height, and weakly darted upwards before... going out.

Nia stood frozen in place, her squatting position unchanged.

She blinked, then leaned closer to look at the opening of the firework tube, still not believing it.

"..."

Then they lit the remaining fireworks, all of them miniature flowers.

Nia stood amidst the pile of extinguished fireworks, her lips pressed into a thin line.

She told everyone there would be a fireworks display tonight; the boss's word can't be false.

Then A-Qiang laughed.

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright. These fireworks are just for the noise, after all."

Da Cheng chimed in, his tone gentle.

"Exactly, exactly. I'm so happy to be able to eat barbecue together. Big Sister's barbecue is much better than fireworks."

Several young people chimed in, their faces beaming with smiles and their voices carrying a cautious goodwill.

Warm words of comfort and reassurance blew over like a spring breeze.

Conya felt her face getting hotter and hotter.

She is a dragon.

She said she was going to hold a summer fireworks festival tonight, and this is what happened...

The boss has completely lost face.

And... everyone was clearly so looking forward to it.

As a result, we didn't even see a single real firework.

No, she insisted that tonight's summer fireworks display have real fireworks!

She took a deep breath, and a fiery red light shone from her mouth.

Just as the sparks were about to burst forth.

"Whoosh!"

A blurry figure teleported over from the other side of the house.

Lin Yan appeared in front of Nia, covering her mouth, which was already starting to spark, with one hand.

"Hmm~!?"

Nia's puffed-up cheeks were suddenly blocked, and Lin Yan used magic to suppress the dragon's breath.

"Cough cough cough~~"

Nia felt like she was about to sneeze, but someone had forced her to choke back her breath, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Lin Yan stood before everyone with a fatherly smile on his face.

He held Nia, who was still struggling and whimpering, in his arms.

"Haha... Sorry everyone."

This child ate too much barbecue today and is a little full. I'm taking her to buy some nice fireworks to help her digest. You guys keep eating and have fun!

Syl secretly covered her mouth over there.

This excuse is really...

Nia was still struggling when Lin Yan grabbed her without saying a word, and in a blur, he ran wildly out of the village.

In the bamboo forest at the end of the stream, Lin Yan confirmed that no one was around and released his hand from covering Nia's mouth.

"Cough cough cough~"

Nia coughed several times, her eyes reddening, and glared at Lin Yan.

"Dad, what are you doing! I've already got everything ready!"

Lin Yan looked helpless.

"Are you going to spew dragon fire in front of everyone?"

Nia pouted and turned her head away.

"But...but..."

She muttered to herself.

"The fireworks display I organized...not a single firework went off...and everyone was so excited..."

Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and her eyes reddened again.

"I'm the boss... how can I lose face like this..."

Lin Yan looked at her aggrieved little face and rubbed her head.

"Alright, alright, boss."

He smiled and pointed to the top of his head.

"There's no one here, so spew whatever you want at the sky."

Nia paused for a moment, then looked up, her eyes lighting up.

"real?"

"real."

Nia jumped up suddenly, and all her grievances vanished instantly.

She ran to the most open space in the middle of the bamboo forest and firmly planted her feet in a horse stance.

Take a deep breath.

The red light in his chest shone again, this time even brighter than before.

She tilted her little head back, looking up at the dark night sky.

"Ha~~"

A magnificent pillar of flame shot straight into the sky!

The dragon flames, mixed with the surging magic within her body, twisted and refracted in the air, the multicolored light intertwining to form a pillar of fire piercing the sky.

The beam of light pierced through the clouds, illuminating the entire night sky as if it were daytime.

Nia maintained her dragon breath while shouting at Lin Yan.

"Daddy, Daddy! Look! Look how big the sparks I'm shooting out are!!"

Even though there were no younger brothers praising their boss on stage, and only fireworks for everyone backstage, Nia still felt very happy.

Lin Yan watched as she spoke while her small mouth was spewing fire, her manner incoherent and disorganized, and laughed, rubbing his forehead.

"I saw it! I saw it! My Nia is the best!"

"boom!"

The beam of light exploded with a deafening roar at the highest point of the night sky.

Larger and more dazzling than any industrial fireworks, dragon flames bloomed in the sky above Tamura.

A shower of stars slowly fell from the sky, illuminating the entire village.
