Chapter 2334 Shallow Contact with Contradictions
"So, in the future, I will spend my life with these two disobedient metal shelves?"
Ron, who was helped to sit on the sofa temporarily, sighed bitterly. He reached out and knocked on the pair of alchemy prosthetic limbs of unknown alloy under him, and the crisp knocking sound echoed leisurely in the restaurant.
"As I said, you have to get used to it, and then it will become 'obedient'... and there will be a series of adjustments to be made afterwards, which will make it easier for you to adapt." Sarah said for him Checking the status of the prosthesis, he casually said without raising his head, "Of course, if you really care that it is a 'metal frame'...maybe I can help you fill this frame with some flesh-like substance at the end? Maybe It can make it look more like real legs."
Ron, who was crying, raised his eyebrows when he heard it, and he seemed to be in a much better mood.
"Really? Sounds good, can I look forward to it?"
"of course can."
After Sarah said so, she suddenly stood up clapping her hands, turned her head at Ron and said:
"Okay, I've adjusted your knee joints a little tighter for you, so you may walk slower, but at least it won't be as difficult to control as before... Stand up and try again!"
"Really? I'll try."
Before the words fell, Ron, who had been thrown hard enough just now, stood up again and took a staggering, staggering step. The harsh "creaking" sound proved that Sarah had indeed tightened its joints a lot, which made Ron's first step very difficult, as if in slow motion.
"Oh--"
"boom!"
Suddenly, Ron, who was about to take the second step, lost his balance and fell stiffly to the floor again.
"It's worse than before, isn't it?" Not far away, Luna looked at this side with great interest, and occasionally broke off a small piece of apple pie and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing deliciously, "... Xiao Baiye, would you like a bite? Hermione made this by herself just now, it's sour and appetizing."
While talking, she broke off another piece, stretched out her hand to the side, and sent it very accurately into Bai Ye's mouth that just opened to speak.
"Ah... well."
Bai Ye, who was gagged by Pai, froze for a moment, and found that he couldn't speak anymore.
He simply stopped talking, and seriously chewed the apple pie that Luna stuffed for him.
After a while, she swallowed the small mouthful of pie, and whispered with some regret:
"I'm sorry, actually I... can't taste what it tastes like. You may not know that neither my clan nor I have such a thing as 'taste'."
"Well, I know." Luna waved her hands indifferently and said, "Actually, I already had a zombie friend before I came here, and she was called 'Shabo'... She did tell me that she almost I don’t eat, and I can’t taste the food. But let me say, you don’t have to taste them to enjoy the food! Those ghosts in the school used to have no sense of smell or touch, but they still like to hold dinner parties—— And at least you can still pick up food and smell it, can't you?"
Saying so, she broke off a small piece again and handed it to Bai Ye, then waved her hand and said:
"Smell it! The rich aroma of apples mixed with buttery cheese is wonderful... Oh, Ron, watch your head! Your right foot is almost up to your forehead—"
Seeing that Luna's attention was attracted by the funny Ron again, Bai Ye didn't disturb her interest, but just put another small piece of apple pie in her hand in front of the tip of her nose and took a deep breath .
Living corpses do have a sense of smell, but it is still much weaker than that of ordinary humans. At this time, when you take a deep breath, the fragrance only lingers between the nose and mouth, which is definitely not very "mellow".
However, as Luna said, since at least the food can be picked up and smelled, shouldn't it be enjoyed? Just like my ability, even if it just lights up a dull light, maybe it can bring people an infinitely bright future.
"It's really fragrant." Bai Ye muttered softly.
...
"Sorry, my friends, they're a little rowdy."
When Ron and Sarah were trying out alchemy prosthetics, and Luna was rushing to watch with the living corpse Xiaobaiye, Hermione at the dining table said so apologetically.
But looking at her expression, one can see that she actually enjoys the messy scene in front of her.
"It's okay," the girl sitting beside her shook her head lightly, and looked at Ron who was stumbling over there with interest, "Miss Granger, your friends are very interesting... I I was thinking, maybe this is one of the reasons why Master appreciates you so much?"
Just from the silence before, we can know that Hermione and the human side don't really want to mention the "lord of the living corpse" tonight. She is very smart, so naturally she would not be unaware of this, but she took the initiative to mention the other party again at this time, and there may be some deep meaning in this.
Of course, in fact, both parties are also aware that at the dinner tonight, the topic of "that person" will inevitably come up. Even if it is not mentioned for a while, it will only be the difference of sooner or later.
So... To be honest, although Hermione didn't know how to answer this topic, after a pause, she shook her head relatively calmly and said:
"Maybe! It's just... I think the relationship between us and your master is just a relationship of cooperation to eliminate the enemy. Well, at least for now, it is like this."
"But you are very interested in my people?" The girl quickly replied, "Look, you even hope to make friends with Bai Ye and the others."
"Well, how should I put it?" Hermione pursed her lips, "Anyway, this whole thing is very complicated, and it can't be explained clearly with a simple 'interest or disinterest'...Of course, at least Xiaobai Ye, she and I I really like it. But to say about all the members of your family—”
This dinner has not yet officially started, and the topic seems to be getting closer and closer to the core contradiction of this conversation. This is definitely not a good start.
Fortunately, at this very critical moment, another figure appeared at the door, precisely interrupting this increasingly rigid conversation.
"Hermione, I hear you've prepared a big dinner tonight... oh, are there any guests?"
What appeared at this moment was Delphi, whose whereabouts had been a little erratic for the past two days. She walked straight from the door to the dining table, and after looking at the delicacies on the table, she glanced at the two living corpse "distinguished guests" who were still at the table, her attitude seemed a little subtle.
