Chapter 86 Pain is the beginning of recovery
Chapter 86 Pain is the beginning of recovery
”Protect?”
”Just like my sister used that power to protect us, it will be our turn to protect my sister in the future.”
The scene at that time was still vivid in my mind, but the person who said this was gone.
The power that the child longed for and was supposed to protect her was also gone.
Mira stretched out a hand, smooth and white, but not as pleasing to the eye as the ‘devil’s arm’ at that time.
Buzz~ Rod was surprised to see patches of light flashing across Mira’s body.
That was the precursor to the activation of the receiving magic.
But those lights flashed by, and Mira’s face turned a little pale, and her body fell softly to the side.
“Mira!” Rhode’s receiving magic was lifted, and he gently embraced her, asking with concern, “Why did you suddenly use receiving magic?”
Mira forced a smile and said, “I still can’t do it.”
Looking at her like this, not only can she not use receiving magic, but her magic power has completely declined.
Magic is the power of the heart, you have to believe in it to…
Rhode wanted to repeat what the president said, but the words turned into:
”Don’t force yourself, let’s go… sit over there for a while?”
It’s still far from the agreed restaurant, but fortunately, when Rhode just used the Swift Crab form, he noticed a cafe through the panoramic view.
It’s good to take a break.
Rhode used receiving magic too frequently today, and now he is a little tired.
The large amount of magic power consumption made Mira a little unstable, and she could only let Rhode help her walk into the cafe.
In the eyes of others, it was similar to those intimate young couples.
But in this situation, it was difficult for Rhode to be happy.
“Welcome!”
”Please help me find a quieter seat.”
”Please come over here.”
Under the guidance of the waiter, the two sat down in the corner and ordered some drinks casually.
Mira was a little depressed: “Sorry to trouble you suddenly.”
”I have been bothering you all the time. No…” Rhode cleared his throat and tried to imitate the broadcasting tone, “It is my honor to serve Miss Mira. Please feel free to trouble me.
Well, would it be more considerate to say this?”
Mira forced a smile: “When did you learn these from Loki?”
Rhode looked regretful: “Hey, I was looking forward to learning a few tricks from him, but unfortunately he ran away when he saw me.”
”Speaking of which, Mr. Hibiki thought about imparting this kind of knowledge to you.”
”When?!” Rhode was shocked. Did we miss some treasure? Mira thought for a moment, “It was the day I helped you learn the common language…
By the way, you couldn’t understand what he was saying at that time, so the president helped you reject it.”
Rod complained in a somewhat exaggerated tone, “Why did the president do this to me!
Is it too late for me to ask Mr. Hibiki for after-sales service now?”
Mira finally laughed, “But the blue Pegasus is far away.”
”It’s a small matter.” Rhode was unwavering.
”Maybe you have to charge me separately.”
”It doesn’t matter.” Rhode was unmoved.
”It’ll be a headache.”
”Forget it.” Rhode immediately broke down, ”It’s not fun to force a lot of knowledge into your head.
If I have to choose now, I will definitely choose to study with Teacher Mira for a few more months.”
Alas, why did I have to rush to get the language pack? It was so stupid. I despise my past self.
Mira didn’t answer. She wasn’t sure if Rhode meant what she thought.
She was worried that she was right, but also worried that she was thinking too much.
”Your coffee.”
The waiter always came on time. Rhode didn’t think so, so he added sugar, sugar, and sugar.
”Too much?”
”I like it sweeter. How much do you want?”
”One piece is enough. Too much will make you fat.”
Rhode couldn’t understand why Mira would have such troubles. Can’t we wizards eat slimming mushrooms? Mira slowly stirred the coffee cup with a small spoon:
”You haven’t told me the details of your last mission.”
This matter is half public and half private.
In public, it stands to reason that Rhode needs to report to the guild about the general process of completing the mission.
YesSome rigid guilds may even require a report. But Fairy Tail doesn’t have so many rules, and it doesn’t matter if the process is not reported at all.
Personally, Mira was a little curious about what Rod meant by the accident on the way.
In this case, whether to say more or less depends on whether both parties have time and whether they want to tell Mira.
So, Rod chose to start from leaving the guild gate.
Talking about Natsu setting fire to the farmland to kill a few wild boars, Mira smiled and said, “It’s worthy of him.”
Talking about Rod sending stone beetles to follow Natsu to dig firebreaks, Mira said, “It’s worthy of you.”
Just when talking about the Beast King, Mira’s expression began to become a little unnatural.
Rod also hesitated whether to talk about it, but when he remembered the exchange with the president that day, he decided to continue.
Beast King-Life and Death Crisis-Receive-Lose Reason-Crazy Destruction…
Mira grabbed her left arm with her right hand. Such a similar story almost made her wonder if Rod made it up.
Rhode gritted his teeth and finished the part about Natsu waking up Chita.
”Really? He… He woke up, that’s great.” Mira was happy for Chita’s family from the bottom of her heart.
But every time she recalled that scene, and thought of Lisanna’s back blocking her, sadness and regret would surge up.
Mira also raised her left hand to hug herself, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Rhode didn’t bring a coat this time, he chose to go around the table and sit next to Mira.
Hands were slightly raised and then dropped immediately, raised and dropped as if there were a thousand pounds of weight.
After all, Rhode was not Loki or Hibiki, so he couldn’t hug her lightly.
He gently patted Mira’s back: “Can you tell me about Lisanna?”
Mira whispered: “Do you know already?”
“I’ve heard a little bit. She’s a cute girl, a little weak?”
“No! That child is not weak at all! Lisanna…”
Mira stopped talking in time after realizing that something was wrong.
It was just that the sudden increase in the tone attracted a few eyes. Rod stood up and raised one hand to apologize to them.
“Sorry, I’m not…”
“I know, it’s because I misunderstood Lisanna?” Rod said, “I should apologize, what kind of person is that child?”
Mira’s trembling slowly stopped, and her thoughts drifted from that painful night to the distant past: “Lisanna is a strong child, since she was a child. When the villagers regarded her as a demon, she always argued for me…”
Listening to Mira’s soft narration, Rod’s hanging heart was slightly relieved.
The pain of losing a loved one sometimes makes people feel like they are broken.
This pain will not completely disappear for a very long time, or even for the rest of their lives.
All we can do is try to accept it, try to overcome negative emotions, and then rebuild ourselves bit by bit.
Pain is a process of recovery.
When she is willing to talk about the deceased, it is the best start for recovery.
Rod didn’t know whether it was Chita’s story that resonated with Mira, or whether Mira had felt relieved in the past year.
Or maybe his “misunderstanding” of Lisanna briefly aroused Mira’s desire to protect her sister.
In short, his plan to heal Mira’s soul, which he had been struggling with for a long time, finally started.
