Chapter 228, Going Home
Everit was packing things early in the morning.
"Mr. Evelit, are you going to travel far?" Ikaruga asked doubtfully.
"Well, let's go home."
Ikaruga was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Is it your previous home? Parents?"
"Yes, after seven years of absence, you have to go back and see there." Everit said.
"Then do you want me to accompany you?" Ikaruga was somewhat hopeful.
"You can go if you want." Everit had no objection.
result.
soon.
"I'm going to visit my father's grave, why are you following me?" Evelit looked at the store that was almost packed with people.
Emily, Ikaruga, Urrutia, Melty, Mirajane, Alice.
Tiffanya was away and went back to her guild.
"Huh? But I haven't been to Master's hometown yet." Emily said.
"Okay." Evelit nodded in approval.
Ikaruga didn't say anything because Everit had already agreed for her to go.
"Will it be troublesome if you take me there?" Mirajane asked.
"No." Everit shook his head.
"I was bored and just happened to be traveling." Urrutia said.
"Okay." Everit nodded again.
"What do you think I'm doing? Don't you understand my desires well enough?" Alice said, "If I need to find an excuse, my surname is also Valliere. Isn't it weird to go back to Valliere's house?"
"Forget it, there's not much left for you."
Yefulit said: "However, the train ticket I bought will leave soon. Do you have time to pack it up?"
"Gather at Magnolia Station in an hour." Mirajane said directly.
"Oh——" Everyone immediately dispersed to pack their luggage.
An hour and a half later.
The train moved slowly and left the station.
Emily sat next to Everit. She took off her beautiful sandals, put her two little feet on the back of Mirarit who was lying under the seat, and moved around.
Emily put her elbow on Everit's shoulder. It was obviously a somewhat strenuous position, but she still maintained it.
Then she asked: "Speaking of which, I don't know much about Master's childhood."
Mirajane on the other side of Everit, Ikaruga and Urrutia on the opposite side were all attracted by this question. Melty and Alice behind Everit also stood up, and the two women knelt down. On the chair, lie down on the back of Everit's seat.
Melty was facing Everit, so she stretched out her little hand out of boredom and gently played with Everit's hair.
Everit smiled and said, "I didn't have anything worth talking about when I was a kid."
Indeed not.
The Vallière family was in a state of decline. By the generation of his father Francis, apart from having a name, they even lost their fields and ancestral home.
However, the royal family of the Kingdom of Fiore is not unkind to the hereditary nobles - generally, the royal family that does not act evil cannot treat the hereditary nobles too badly, because if something goes wrong, only the hereditary nobles will be in the same camp as them.
Therefore, at any rate, you can still receive money and material benefits every year in terms of basic living security.
It's definitely not rich, but it's not like starving to death or anything like that. At most, it's just that I don't eat well.
On this basis, Francesch also has his own legitimate profession - a street magician. I don’t make much, just earn some money for food and clothing. I have never participated in a large-scale performance, so I am not famous. Only the locals know that there is an old man who is good at magic.
In fact, he was afraid of being exposed, because although Francis did not rely heavily on deception magic like Everit, he did use some magic to pretend to be magic.
If he goes on a large stage, with his strength, his secret will definitely be exposed.
In short - added up, life is actually better than that of civilians.
But Francis was very kind, and he even felt that if civilians were to starve to death, the responsibility lay with the nobles. Although he does not have a fiefdom - counting up the Vallière family, there are still some ridiculous characters, and there are also many who love gambling.
But because he is kind-hearted, he often can't help but give some money away, or help some people or something - even though he doesn't get any benefits later. But Francis didn't care. When he said he was giving people food, did he just hope that people would give him a golden bowl in the future? Just be a person with a clear conscience.
Finally, it’s time to raise a gold-eating beast.
Even if Yefulit's requirements for food, clothing, housing and transportation are low, she still has to go to school and buy books to learn knowledge.
Then Everit reads books quickly, and the genius children are like super-high-quality sponges, absorbing the knowledge crazily.
Then just like that, he grew up, too ordinary in the middle, without any memory points.
After talking about what happened when she was a child, Everit concluded: "I lived in poverty when I was a child. Can't I enjoy it when I grow up?!"
The girls were all silent after hearing this.
You are also complaining.
Gan.
Even if they like this man very much, they still want to beat him!
Although it is true that he is not rich, he has food, shelter, food and clothing, and his father is still a very good person, so what is there to be dissatisfied about!
"Well -" Everit smiled and said, "Don't worry about the past."
"Your life may not have a happy beginning, but the beginning does not determine who you are. Your life and your story must be written by yourself. It depends on how you write your story and what you want to be. people."
Everit took a sip of the drink and said with emotion: "Yesterday has become history, and no one can see the future clearly. The only thing that can be felt is the present, so cherish the present."
He put down the cup and said with a smile: "This is what my father said."
Everyone looked at the memory of Everit, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: No wonder he holds such a powerful and evil magic, but Everit has not become a bad person. On the contrary, apart from playing pranks with his companions, he has never done anything. Do anything outrageous, such as peeking at girls taking a shower or something. This is all because he has an upright, kind and wise father.
Maybe this is a family tradition.
Except for Emily, the beautiful eyes of the girls are full of brilliance. If my children can inherit such a family tradition, as a mother, I will be very proud!
Emily suddenly asked: "Has Master ever liked Sister Alice?"
"." There was a sudden silence at the scene.
Because when Everit was telling stories just now, he mentioned several times that there was a female classmate in the class whose family was a wealthy businessman. She was deceived by him and ate a lot of good food from them to supplement her nutrition.
"No." Everit shook his head firmly.
But the girls looked suspicious.
Seeing this, Everit had no choice but to say: "What are you looking at me? Am I such an easy target?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Emily shook her head: "It's often boys who have been hurt by their first love, and then it becomes difficult to conquer them. For example, they don't believe in love, and they always take away the girls who are with them. Comparing it with first love, this kind of thing is completely unfair, the first love has been separated for so long, and the memories are all beautiful, these situations will make it particularly difficult for boys to conquer. "
"." Everit was speechless. After thinking for a long time, she could only say: "Don't overthink it. Also, how do you know so much? Are you in love early?"
"I'm seventeen!" Emily said, "Not ten!"
"And it's written in the magazine."
"Then do you believe the magazine or me?" Everit asked.
"Believe in my eyes!" Emily held Evelit's face and asked him to face her, and said: "Master, look into my eyes. Before this, have you ever liked a girl? ?”
"."
After a few seconds of silence.
"No."
"Dodge, hesitate!" Emily shouted.
"I'm thinking deeply about it," Everit said.
"How can you think deeply about this kind of thing? As long as you think deeply, you will definitely eliminate girls you have had a crush on in your mind. Also, you may be thinking about how to lie." Emily looked confident.
"You didn't listen to a word of what I just said." Everit said helplessly, "I've said it all, the most important thing is the present moment."
"Forget it." Everit leaned back, put his head on Mirajane's shoulder, and said, "I'm a little motion sick, so I'll take a nap first."
"." Girls: Are you Natsu?
but
It was unexpected that Emily actually asked about it.
Everit flicked his hat.
He really has a clear conscience.
In a previous life
Isn't it normal for you to have a crush on a goddess when you are sixteen or seventeen years old, in high school, and have just started to fall in love?
At this age in his life, he met Mirajane.
The town of Femina.
A poorer town than Magnolia.
It is small in scale and has a small population. It is an unknown small transparent town with nothing to say.
The local management is mediocre, neither prosperous nor abject.
Everit's house is a single-family house with a yard on the edge of the town.
When my father was young, he hoped to buy a manor on the other side of town and revitalize the Valliere family.
Unfortunately, he failed to save any money and lost his wife in middle age.
"Leave it to me to revitalize the Vallière family!" Alice said confidently: "I heard some old women say that a big butt is good for fertility, but someone like me in Magnolia's Dating Park It’s very marketable! I’m in good health, so it won’t be a problem to give birth to ten or eight babies. Don’t worry, Mr. Evelit, I will definitely give you a prosperous Valliere family!”
Alice is a straightforward character.
Urrutia and Melty frowned when they heard this, but they felt too embarrassed to say such words.
"Shut up, Alice," Emily said.
Alice immediately covered her mouth.
In the past seven years, Emily, who was initially cared for as the eldest lady, has been recognized by everyone for her strength and ability, and has become the true leader of this small group.
Emily said: "How can it be your turn? First, Sister Mirajane, when she is satisfied, then Sister Turtledove, and then Sister Tiffanya, when it is your turn. Ten or eight, You are not afraid of exhausting my master to death."
What kind of talk about tigers and wolves?
Everit patted Emily on the head and said, "You are prohibited from discussing related topics in the future."
"Master -" Emily was immediately dissatisfied: "Don't treat me like a child! You are obviously playing with your emotions at this time."
"." Yefulit suddenly realized: "I understand, you are inoculating me. You want to fall in love prematurely, so you are trying your best to emphasize this point."
Yevlit suddenly smiled gently: "You know, Emily, I am a tolerant parent, and it is not difficult to understand that a girl of this age has a favorite boy. Is that boy a wizard? Where does he live? What is his last name? How many people are there in his family?"
"." Girls: Do you look tolerant?
Emily curled her lips and said, "I am not."
"Don't be shy." Yevlit smiled and rubbed her little head.
"I don't think so." Urutia said, "We have always been together."
"Is that so." Yevlit said, "If you have a boyfriend, just tell me openly. I am very open-minded."
"If Emily wants to find a boyfriend, her requirements must be very high." Turtle Dove smiled.
Emily said innocently, "Not high, just about the same as Master."
"." Girls: It's over, there will be an old leftover woman in the family.
"It's hard to say about feelings." Milajie smiled and said, "Sometimes, maybe the word sincerity is enough."
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
As they talked.
They had already arrived outside the yard.
They had not been back for many years.
This place was overgrown with weeds.
The neighbors had already moved away.
Yevlit stretched out his hand and wrote something in the air.
"Mr. Yevlit?" Turtledove was puzzled: "Why don't you open the door."
"I destroyed the key when I left for the first time, and I never went through the door when I came back." Yevlit stretched out his hand and clapped, and the invisible magic circle was unlocked.
Then he climbed over the wall and entered the yard.
Everyone hurriedly followed.
Everyone looked at this house with some curiosity and emotion.
Thinking of Yevlit when he was a child, he had spent a happy childhood here.
"I don't know how cute Master was when he was a child." Emily said.
Yevlit pushed his glasses and smiled, "I was definitely not cute when I was a child."
"No——" Emily said, "When I pretend to be a little adult, I must be very cute."
"."
Yevlit's superficial personality is not difficult to grasp. Everyone can work backwards based on the current Yevlit, and then build a little boy in his mind who is a little kid and works hard to learn to be a noble.
His hair is combed neatly, he wears a children's suit, and his leather shoes are polished.
Yevlit ignored them.
After a short rest, he started cleaning.
Everyone naturally came to help, and they were quick and nimble.
Even though there were a lot of housework in the house that had not been taken care of for seven years.
But with everyone's efforts, it was finished in an afternoon.
He spent the night.
The next day.
Yevlit bought flowers and his father's favorite candy.
Francis used to love drinking. After his wife died, he was a drunkard for a while, but Yevlit would get drunk after drinking, so he quit drinking and then became addicted to candy.
The ancestral home of the Vallier family is gone, and the tombs of the ancestors have been moved to a cemetery bought by the downtrodden nobles because their descendants cannot afford it. It is not in this city.
Only Francis is buried here.
The girls did not disturb him.
After cleaning the surroundings, Yevlit sat in front of the tombstone and talked for a long time.
Then he waved his hand, and everyone gathered around.
"Father." Yevlit took Milaje's hand and said, "The Vallier family, I will definitely make it rise."
