Chapter 34 (1/2)

The Uncle and the Gentle Night

Late at night.

Little Elan and Ka Luona were already sleeping. Mademoiselle Specter didn’t need to sleep and was currently upstairs, looking at the night sky. Mademoiselle Specter seemed to enjoy the nighttime scenery. Her view of this world felt a little sorrowful.

It’s probably due to her inability to touch anything.

Every time I see Mademoiselle Phantom’s smile, I always felt that that kind of smile was extremely empty. I even was reconsidering whether Mademoiselle Phantom should have joined our journey. If I was a hero would only want to protect everyone, it would be better to make them stay in a safe place. But I was not that young anymore.

Although I didn’t desire for Mademoiselle Phantom to disappear, if that really was her wish, I would not interfere, or forcefully urge her to stay.

But I wouldn’t accept that kind of outcome.

One day, I will definitely think of a way to a.n.a.lyze Mademoiselle Phantom’s body. If she was the type of a existence I could understand thoroughly, then maybe I could make her a body. But right now, there’s no way I could do that. I even can’t a.n.a.lyze other people’s “skeletons”.

I really hope that I will meet with Princ.i.p.al Maylise soon and learn the strongest forging technique.

There was not a sound to be heard, except for Jinwen leaning against me, swinging his two legs back and forth.

Right now, I was sewing JInwen’s clothes. Because I had taken an afternoon nap during the day, I was not tired at night.

The cloth had to be very small, so I bought higher-quality cloth. I even bought some golden thread. I remembered that in my original world, people would beg me to make doll clothing for them. So I was very skillful in handling this size of cloth.

A light blue jacket. Inside was a white s.h.i.+rt, with a white pleated collar. I used the golden-colored thread to embroider Jinwen’s name on the collar. For the pants, I made a pair of brown trousers. I cut off a small piece of leather from the saddle to make a pair of st.u.r.dy shoes. To speak frankly, the clothes and pants were easy to make, while the shoes were a bit more difficult. After I had finished making them, I solemnly used the needle on the leather to st.i.tch on Jinwen’s name. Like this, all the clothes were custom-made.

“Try them on to see if they fit. If they don’t fit, I’ll fix them.

“Huw.a.n.g.”

This time, he wasn’t being difficulty. He obediently took the clothes from my hand and scuttled behind the quilt.

After some rustling sounds, Jinwen came back out to take the stage.

“R-really suits me, daye!”

It really looked very good, if he didn’t have that leather collar.

“Can’t you take off that collar?”

I sent out a probing question.

Jinwen shook his head.

“There’s no way. I am a slave, and this is the mark of a slave.”

I sighed and rubbed JInwen’s head.

Jinwen used his two hands to grip my finger and lightly nibbled on my fingernail with his teeth.

“Hengw.a.n.g, thank you very much for today, w.a.n.g.”

“No problem.”
