Chapter 87 I understand
Chapter 87 I understand
The Strauss couple died very early, and Elfman and Lisanna can be said to have been brought up by Mira.
At that time, the three siblings lived together in a remote village, and occasionally received some help from the villagers.
Although life was difficult, there were often some small warmth and touching moments.
When Mira talked about the poor life at that time, she smiled unconsciously.
Even when she talked about being treated harshly by the villagers as a demon, she did not express her dissatisfaction with the villagers, but was more about how Lisanna spoke for her at that time.
If she was scolded, Lisanna would argue loudly; if she was hit by a stone, Lisanna would throw the stone back and care about whether she was hurt.
He was a strong, kind child who would try to protect his sister.
Compared with her, Elfman’s character would seem too kind.
Rhodes quietly listened to her leaving the village and coming to the guild.
She talked about Erza, Cana, Natsu and Gray in the past, but the focus was not on them, but on how the younger brother and sister got along with these people.
One after another, very ordinary little things, it can be heard that when she first joined the guild, most of her mind was on her younger brother and sister, fearing that they would be wronged.
Although later found that there was no need to worry about those things in the guild.
”But I destroyed it all with my own hands. It was me who killed Lisanna and it was me who caused Elfman to be trapped in infinite guilt and self-blame.”
The warm and beautiful memories came to an abrupt end at this moment. Mira held her forehead with one hand, and tears dripped down.
”If I hadn’t accepted that mission, if I was as cautious as you at that time, if…”
Mira briefly supported Rhodes’ shoulders and quickly sat up straight.
In fact, it can be borrowed at any time. Rhodes silently took out a few tissues and stuffed them into her hands.
You don’t blame Elfman at all, but you just can’t forgive yourself? Just now I was talking about Lisanna’s kindness and Elfman’s kindness.
The kindness from the heart of your family is clearly inherited from the same line.
After she choked and wiped away her tears, Rod spoke: ”You did your best that day, didn’t you?”
”Before hurting Lisanna, did Elfman try to fight against the Beast King’s consciousness?”
”Did Lisanna feel afraid and regretful when she did that?”
The answer to such a question is obvious, and Rod’s meaning is also obvious.
At that time, the three of them had done everything they could.
Punishing yourself with guilt, self-blame, and regret can neither change what has happened nor make the future better.
Then try to forgive yourself.
”I understand, thank you.” Mira put on her usual smile, “I feel much better.”
This is a lie.
In order not to let her good intentions go to waste, and in order not to make people around her worry.
She is just like Lisanna whom she has always praised, she is also a kind person who cares about others.
”That’s good.” Rhode did not expose her.
How can the knot in her heart be untied with just one conversation.
The progress this time is already quite gratifying, at least she is willing to talk to him about Lisanna.
Mira reached out to take the coffee cup, but was snatched away by Rhode.
She looked at Rhode in confusion.
Rhode pushed his coffee over: “You have suffered enough, have something sweet.”
When Mira didn’t know whether to drink it or not, Rhode had already taken a sip of her coffee.
”Well, I feel a little bit of the bitterness you have suffered. Next…” Rhode put down the cup, “Add sugar, add sugar!”
Mira took a sip of his coffee lightly, it was sweet. There was a hint of disdain in her smile: “Too much sugar.”
Rode said as a matter of course: “I like sweet.”
”Then.” Mira gently put down the coffee cup, “Since you took my coffee and added sugar, what’s the point of exchanging it?”
”The meaning… is the process of making it sweet?” It can’t be just for the sake of exchanging. Luo was calm on the surface, but his ears were actually getting hot.
He didn’t understand where he got the courage to exchange cups with her like this.
He thought about it and asked: “Then how about exchanging it back?”
”No, that cup is almost turning into sugar water.” Mira glanced at him and looked out the window without leaving a trace.
Change it every time you drink it, change it every time you drink it, isn’t that even more weird.”Oh.”
Sitting in the coffee shop for a long time, Mira almost recovered her strength.
The two went to the restaurant in the south of the city as planned, and the atmosphere was much more normal.
The south of the city was an area that Rhode rarely visited. Mira introduced to him which shops were good and cheap, and which bosses only liked to give discounts to beautiful women.
”This kind of looking at people is too much!” Rhode said, “So, can I ask you to buy things for me in the future?”
”Sure, how about wearing something sexy?”
”Forget it, it feels too troublesome.” Rhode thought for a while and said,
”Why don’t you teach me the magic of transformation, and I will turn into Jenny to buy things.”
Mira’s eyes curved: “Sure, Rhode is too bad.”
Rhode shook his head: “Agreeing to it even though you know it’s bad, it’s mutual.”
Slesholudo Restaurant, located near Magnolia South Exit Park
The name is a little difficult to pronounce, and guests who often come here like to call it “threshold” or “beginning”.
It means that coming here can step into the threshold of happiness, or get the beginning of a beautiful love.
The president did not tell Rhodes these things, he asked about them himself.
As for whether Mira knew about it, he didn’t know, anyway, she didn’t refuse.
”Ah, it’s a very lively restaurant.” And most of the people coming in and out are in pairs. Mira looked at Rhodes, “Why did you choose this one?”
Because it has a good meaning.
It certainly can’t be said that way, Rhodes chose to pass the buck:
”The president recommended it, he said the chefs here are very skilled.”
Mira asked with a smile: “Is that so?”
”Of course, every word I said is pearls of wisdom!” Rhodes raised one hand, “The president said this place is very good.”
The president is the one who takes the blame for everyone at critical moments. I, Luo, don’t usually get into trouble, so it’s not a big problem to pass the blame on.
Mira nodded. The phrase “every word is a pearl” was used well. It seems that it is not entirely true.
But there must be reasons for the president. Well, I have to limit the president’s drinking when I go back.
I will urge him to write a self-criticism again.
He also has to write the statistics of the guild’s tasks last month.
”Welcome!”
”We have made an appointment.”
”Please come this way.”
Rod and Mira walked into the restaurant among a group of young couples and walked to the reserved seats.
The menu here is the same as in the guild, with a variety of dishes.
Rod looked at Mira and turned over the front with some regret: ’Sweet Couple’s Meal’, ‘Forever Together Meal’ and other attractive sets.
Ordered two that he liked and one that might suit Mira’s taste, and then asked her opinion.
There should be another chapter in the evening
