Chapter 288

Wuhe Shidao was filled with shock.

After separating from Mrs. Hayasaka, Melyuzina and Itsuka Shidou walked to the river again.

"Wait a minute, this doesn't seem to be a residential area?"

Wuhe Shidao asked in surprise: "Lancelot, is this really your way home?"

"Um?"

Meliuzina frowned slightly and said in surprise: "I didn't seem to have said that I wanted to go home, right?"

"Huh?"

"I'm just saying, it's okay if you want to follow me."

It seems... like this?

"Besides, why do you think you have a place to live down here?"

Melyuzina said calmly: "You should know this, right? I am an elf and have no money or identity. How could someone sell me a house?"

"...That makes sense."

Think about it...Elves basically only stay in this world for a short period of time at a time, and then are sent back to their neighbors, so there is no need for housing at all.

only……

"You really know a lot about human society."

"Huh? Is there any? Are you okay..."

Itsuka Shidou finally realized why he always felt like something was wrong when getting along with the other party.

Lancelot knows too much about human society!

Among the elves he had met before, except for Tokisaki Kurumi, the other elves obviously lacked common sense related to human society and were obviously separated from human society.

Especially Yatogami Tohka! It feels like a baby that has just been born but has the ability to communicate through language.

It was precisely because of this difference that Wuhe Shidao subconsciously thought that the other party had a place to live like ordinary people.

At this time, Melyuzina's direction of travel changed, as if she had found what she was looking for.

Looking in that direction, Itsuka Shidou saw a figure sitting by the river, seemingly... fishing?

Seeing that Melyuzina and the other party started talking, but they couldn't hear clearly because they were too far away, Wuhe Shidou walked over.

As he got closer, Wuhe Shidao realized that the other party was an old man with a somewhat bald head, and the old man also looked over.

"Hmm...Is this the Simmel you mentioned, Lancelot? He's a little younger than I thought..."

Under the night, Melyuzina's expression looked a little gloomy.

"Grandpa Takasaki, you are usually not interested in these gossips, right? Aren't you only interested in fishing? And... how many people has Aunt Kondo told this to? The key is that she must have added fuel to the fire. Quite a few..."

"Ha, ha, ha, after all, you are the opposite sex that Lancelot mentioned. Of course we will pay attention to it."

The explanation she had given to Mrs. Hayasaka before, Melyuzina now told Grandpa Takasaki again.

'but……'

Melyuzina quietly glanced at Itsuka Shidou beside her.

'Shidou and Simmel both have blue hair...but the difference between them is quite big. ’

"So, did the old lady ask you to call me back today? Lancelot."

"If you know, then clean it up quickly. Do you need help?"

"Ha, ha, no, no, no, I'm not that old yet."

"Seeing you smiling so happily makes me feel relieved. You will definitely live for a long time."

"Well, then I will accept your good advice."

While waving goodbye to Grandpa Takasaki, Melyuzina also explained to Itsuka Shidou, "Grandpa Takasaki comes here to fish whenever he is free. He loses track of time when he is fishing, so Grandma Takasaki often asks me to come over and call him. Otherwise, there is a high chance that Grandpa Takasaki will forget to go home."

"...Lancelot really likes to help others."

"Then you are wrong. I don't like helping others."

"Huh?"

Itsuka Shidou looked at Melyuzina in shock, but Melyuzina's face still had no expression, and it was not clear whether she was joking.

Melyuzina tilted her head, thought for a while, and said: "I neither like it nor hate it, I can only say it's average."

"but……"

In the eyes of Itsuka Shidou, Melyuzina's words and actions were completely inconsistent.

"Hmm... you don't seem to understand."

Melyuzina's tone was indifferent, "But in fact, for me, there is not much difference between helping or not helping me... I should be considered a very cold and selfish kind of person, right?"

"I have a good friend... He is a great man. He has been acting to help others all his life. To this end, he has saved many people and changed many people... I am probably one of the people who have been changed by him. ”

"Hmm... If I have to find a reason for the actions I have done, let me think about it... Hmm... maybe I am used to it? In the process of traveling with him, I am used to being in trouble. People in the country lend a helping hand and are used to making some changes within their capabilities during the journey.”

"That's right... I'm just used to it. There's no special reason."

Chapter 484: Things I like and things I fear.

This is Tiangong City, a hospital in a relatively remote location.

A little girl leaned her back against the wall and sat quietly on the hospital bed.

The little girl's head was wrapped in a bandage, making it impossible for her to see with her eyes, which was a bit distressing to watch.

Late at night, at this time, ordinary children should go to sleep early, but the little girl was in a daze, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

Because of the quiet environment and the fact that the little girl's hearing became particularly sharp after losing her vision, she was able to hear the approaching footsteps outside the door.

If she was like an exquisite doll before, then when she heard the footsteps, this doll finally took on life and came to life.

When Melyuzina opened the door, she saw the little girl lying half on the hospital bed with a bright arc at the corner of her mouth.

"Sister Lan."

"Zinao, aren't you asleep yet?"

Melyuzina's tone was particularly gentle, like a flower waiting to bloom in the sunshine.

"No, because Zi Nai knows that Sister Lan will come and tell Zi Nai a story."

"Really? But if you are sleepy, you still have to go to bed early. Only when you are well rested can you recover faster, you know?"

"Yeah, Murasaki knows."

Murasaki's well-behaved appearance made Melyuzina smile slightly.

Melyuzina pulled a chair over and sat down beside the bed.

"What story do you want to hear today?"

…

More than half an hour passed.

"That's all for today's story..."

Closing the storybook, Melyuzina glanced at Murasaki on the bed.

At this time, Ziano's breathing had become even and she fell asleep peacefully.

"Sweet dreams, Zi Nao..."

After whispering a blessing, Meliuzina gently and considerately pulled the quilt on Zino's body, and then left the ward without making any footsteps.

Outside the door, Itsuka Shidou yawned and squeezed a few tears out of the corners of his eyes.

"If you really feel sleepy, you can leave directly."

When Melyuzina's voice rang in his ears, Itsuka Shido immediately sobered up a lot.

"A nurse came just now."

Itsuka Shidou wiped his eyes hard, maybe because he felt that this could cheer him up a little, "She said... you will come to see this little girl every night."

"Zano just had an operation a few days ago. He will stay in the hospital for at least four months as he is now."

Melyuzina said lightly, completely missing the tenderness just now, "Her parents owe a lot of money for medical expenses, so in addition to taking turns to take care of them during the day, they also have to work at night. I know them, so I promised them to be here Come over at night and occasionally tell her some stories to help Ziano sleep when she can't sleep... If there's nothing else, I'll come over during the day."

"That's it..."

Looking at Melyuzina, Itsuka Shido's eyes were particularly complicated.

Are there really such kind people in this world?

At this moment, Shidou was suddenly stunned, and then asked Melyuzina.

"Excuse me, don't you need Lost?"

The so-called Lost is a professional term used to describe the phenomenon of elves leaving this world and returning to the neighboring world.

Since Lancelot can come here to see Murasaki every day, doesn't it mean that there is a high chance that the other party will stay in this world and never go back?

This question should have been asked by Itsuka Kotori to Itsuka Shidou, otherwise Itsuka Shidou wouldn't have reacted like that just now.

"Well... according to your understanding, all elves should need to return to that space, and they cannot control the time of return, right?"

Melyuzina knew what Wuhe Shidou meant by Lost. She shook her head and said, "I can feel a pulling force, but I just resisted it. If I choose not to resist, I will Arrive at the Neighborhood like other elves.”

If her memory is correct... the neighborhood seems to be Mio's mother's domain, right?

Mio's mother is probably the only person she fears in this world, and she doesn't want to go into that person's territory if possible.

In fact, the place where Melyuzina first arrived was the neighborhood...but the next moment she left the neighborhood and came to this world.

Feeling sleepy, Itsuka Shidou couldn't help but yawned again.

"By the way...don't you need to sleep?"

"Well... I do not need to sleep. I am a dragon, the only dragon fairy in the world. There is a conceptual gap between the biological functions of you humans. Even if you don't sleep, eat and other activities, you can continue to function."

After leaving the hospital, Itsuka Shidou looked at the time.

"...Is it almost two o'clock in the morning?"

"Do I need to take you back?"

Melyuzina's words made the expression on Itsuka Shidou's face become a little strange.

He was supposed to be the one sending the other person back, so why is it the other way around now?

Itsuka Shidou originally wanted to refuse, but Itsuka Kotori said that this was an opportunity to continue communicating and collecting information, and not to give up, so Itsuka Shidou nodded after sighing slightly.

"Speaking of which..."

Walking with Melyuzina, maybe he was not used to the silence and wanted to find something to talk about, Shidou Itsuka suddenly spoke.

"It seems that I have been asking you questions tonight...don't you have any questions to ask me?"

Hearing this, Melyuzina glanced at Wuhe Shido, and then said lightly.

"No...I don't have any questions to ask you."

After all, what I want to know but don’t know, you most likely don’t know either.

"Is that so..."

Shidao Gokawa scratched his head awkwardly, then asked, "So, Lancelot, is there anything you like?"

"Hey! Shidao!"

Kotori Gokawa's incomprehensible roar came from the headset, "I want you to invite the other party to a date!"

"But in this atmosphere, I always feel that the other party is unlikely to agree..."

Shidao Gokawa covered his ears and whispered back.

"How do you know if the other party will agree if you don't try? Anyway, trying won't hurt you. The other party has such a high initial liking for you, so he won't refuse no matter how you think about it, right?"

"No... It's just a kind of intuition..."
