Chapter 732: The person from his youth?
While I was listening to what the other person was saying, the food was brought up.
“Try some, this is really delicious~”
A very gentle smile, but not happy, this emotion seems more like a fake.
It seems like the whole person is living in a very closed space. He is kind and gentle to others, but he can constantly emit unspeakable pain to himself.
"Let me try it..." I picked up a small piece with a fork. It was very sour, so sour that it almost made me cry, but the aftertaste was very sweet, a bit like candy after it was ripe.
"It's quite sour, right? I also feel it's a bit sour, but sour tastes good, doesn't it?"
"Mmm...it's delicious. I like it very much."
"What's your name? I have to take you home..."
"Um...Dana, my name is Dana..."
"Hmm? It's actually quite similar to my last name. Speaking of which, why are you covering it up so tightly?"
The heavy hood covers the upper half of the child's face, and the lower half of the face, half of the mouth, is only exposed when eating.
"I am sick……"
"……sorry."
Sad emotions are real. I really feel sad because I have offended others, and I even have a strong sense of guilt.
"There's no need to apologize, just express your emotions directly."
"Hmm...you really act like an adult. I almost doubt you're some immortal who came here to trick me into eating my lemon tart!"
"No, I just really look like my mom."
Or really, Mom...
Or maybe there is no essential difference between the mother I imagined and me.
"Do I look like your mother? That's surprising. I never planned on having a child..."
"Huh? Why?"
"Don't you think it's terrifying? A strange life is born from your body. I can't accept it...at least no one I've met so far can make me accept it."
"What if it's not like this?"
"Hmm? Let me think about it, it's probably like a puppet suddenly regaining its own soul? In that case, I can accept it. Maybe it's because I prefer non-blood relationships. Uh, it may feel strange to you. I'm sorry, my thoughts are indeed very strange..."
"No, he's very well behaved and interesting. I might be leaving soon. My mother should be looking for me, but she probably won't be looking for me at the Knights..."
"why?"
"Because mom is not from here, if mom wants to find me, she should go to Xumi."
"?! How did you get to a place like this? Do you know how far it is? Oh my God, my child, you must have suffered a lot. Oh, is there anything else you want to eat? Uh, although I don't have much money, I can give you some Mora for emergencies..."
The worry in his tone was real, he was really worried about getting hurt, but his irritability was also real. Perhaps he felt very irritated while at the same time being really worried about himself.
"I brought money, plenty of it."
"...Do you want me to rent you a house or something so you can live there first? Um, I'm currently living on the second floor of a tavern, which isn't really suitable for bringing a child with me."
"That's not necessary, thank you... Can you play with me for a bit? Just wander around here. I can pay Mora."
"There's no need for that, Mora. I can take you for a walk, but you can't leave until you find your mother. You can't just leave casually, understand?"
"Um……"
My mother was very young at that time. She was just my mother, the mother of the past, a very cute and gentle mother. She had a bit of a childish temper and didn’t have any strong demands for anything. Her only dream was to open a small flower shop. It was a very small dream to have her own flower shop.
"Dangdang, I really like staying under the Wind God statue because there are always free performances by tempting poets. It's not free, actually, because they hope everyone can give more Mora or something, but I usually just do it for free... It's a bit hard to get used to it, mainly because I really don't have any spare money. But if the performance is really good, I will personally make some cakes or something as a gift, and they will be happy to accept it."
"Hmm... a very beautiful ballad."
So this is where Mom's favorite song came from? It's the lullaby she always hated.
"This is a place that makes people feel a little heavy, but I often come here to take a look. This is a cemetery, and there are many people who are left here with only their names. I will visit their graves in some of my free time. It really doesn't make any sense, and they don't pay me much, but I always feel that this way I can feel at ease."
"Why do many tombstones have people talking to them for a long time?"
"Hmm... maybe it's because their loved ones live forever in the underground."
"Is that so? I don't quite understand."
"This is the grandest place, right here, where the church is. I don't like it very much, but it's mainly because I feel like it doesn't belong here. I don't really believe in the gods here, so I guess it's out of place. This place is actually a hospital, and many patients come here. Of course, there are also some drunks who come here to confess!"
“The stained glass windows are beautiful.”
"I think so too. What I like most is the brilliance shining under the stained glass here. Do you understand? If it is winter, the air will be particularly cold, but when the warm sunlight shines, it seems that all the coldness and pain can be temporarily swept away..."
“Very gentle description.”
"I also want to be a writer, for example, to write a story about the adventures of a kitten, but I don't think anyone would want to read such a boring story~"
There will be people who want to read it, and everyone will read the book you write seriously.
"Maybe you should give it a try."
"Let me open the flower shop first. Also, I've always wanted to learn alchemy. Have I told you? I've been studying hard, but unfortunately I don't have a teacher or books, so I can only explore on my own..."
"Not even a book?"
"The introductory guide to alchemy costs me two months' wages, so I can only borrow it from somewhere else. Of course, I have to return it soon, so it will take up a lot of time..."
"..."
"What's wrong? Don't you need to borrow a book? Oh, I forgot you're supposed to be a richer kid than me."
