And in this busy road in Guingard, there stood a single and lonely side street Theareas had a heavy traffic, everywhere was packed and jale street seeotten

But it was natural for people to avoid that street Unlike the countless side-streets that derived frole one was a blind alley that wasn't connected to anywhere else

For most of the people it was a waste of tiestion of the main avenue

It wasn't even an ideal place to take a break There was nothing to sit on, and it was too se

There was only the stone statue of athere alone In past times, that stone statue was the receiver of reat achieveed, everyone was in a hurry all the time and nobody bothered to stop by

But after the returned the greeting of a “hello” on her side, the htened He felt relieved

Back in his hometown, Lynn wasn't really aware of the difference in status, so he had the habit of carelessly talking to everybody

That often angered his shi+shou/master
