Chapter 87 (1/2)
After just a few seconds, his eyes turned slightly and smiled again: ”I know, Ariel. You looked smart back then. Do you want me to think you're running this guild here with the royal family? Hehe, if I don't know you, I'm afraid I'll be really frightened by you. But I won't. ”
The grain spread out his hands and said with a look of excitement, ”there is no majesty or royal family. Although I don't know why Miss Ariel, who is so noble, will do such a cheap job in such a place now, you don't have to try to deceive me with these tricks. ”
Forced to the corner, arrow's face instinctively began to show a smile. He silently looked at the man in front of him, and his hands involuntarily grasped the bedding more tightly.
”So... Grain reciter. Can you tell me... Who the hell are you? How did you... Know my name? ”
Grain walked slowly to the bedside, stretched out his hand and gently took off the hat on arrow's head. With that long golden hair falling like a waterfall, grain duo looked at the girl's face in front of him with great admiration and said slowly with a little nostalgic emotion——
”Five years... Miss Ariel is really getting more and more beautiful after five years of absence.”
In the face of praise, the girl forced her face to hold a smile, but her teeth fought involuntarily.
”In fact, at the beginning, I didn't realize that you were Miss Ariel. Until the night I first came, I tasted the dish of cheese sauce and the croissant that gave me endless aftertaste. ”
He stood up and paced up and down the room. A moment later, as if he could no longer restrain his feelings, he sat on the stool in front of the dressing table, took off the lute behind him, played it gently and said——
”It's the smell that reminds me of the night five years ago.”
”I will never forget what I experienced that night, how cold the snow was and how strong the wind was. I will never forget that a little bard who is tired and hungry and full of thoughts about leaving his hometown and wandering in the capital is about to become a body hidden in the snowflakes. ”
A little fiddle with your fingers on the string to play a slightly sad music——
”I was born in a small country and my family is poor. The only thing I have is the way to play the lute. In order not to admit my fate and live better, I left my hometown at the age of 18 and went to the capital Hanhai City, hoping to make a lot of money. ”
”However, I was ill fated and weak, but I was miserable in the capital. Not only is the money from working cheated, but even if you want to earn some money by playing lute, you will be robbed by others immediately. Everything seems to be saying to me... You are not the material to make money at all. Go back, go back to your small countryside, be a farmer facing the Loess and facing the sky, and live quietly all your life! ”
”Finally, I reached my limit five years ago.”
”Without a coin, I was driven out of my house by the landlord. I have no money, no food, no shelter, no friends, no warmth. ”
”I walked alone in the cold streets of Hanhai city. The wind and snow blowing in the face seemed to take away my remaining temperature and guide me slowly to death.”
”I fell. With despair and sadness. ”
”At that time, I even began to regret why I wanted to run out. I began to regret why I became like this. ”
”My whole body is full of pain and despair. I can even feel my heart slowly condensing into frost in this cold. I thought I was finished... I thought my life would be called by God and leave me gradually... ”
”But at that critical moment!”
As soon as the sound of the piano turned, the melody suddenly changed from the original sadness to a hopeful march!
”When I was about to close my eyes and sleep forever, I heard a voice!”
”It's just the voice of an angel ~ ~ it's a ten-year-old girl, a little immature, but with an infinitely beautiful voice.”
”I swear, that's the best thing I've ever eaten in my life. The feeling of cheese sauce and croissant melting in my mouth will never be forgotten in my life! ”
”I was carried to the girl's house, a Grand Manor I had never imagined in my life!”
”My stomach is warm because of food, and my heart is healed because of the girl's smile. It was also at that time that I knew the girl's name... The name like an angel! ”
”Ariel Garcia.”
The girl on the bed clenched her teeth slightly and showed a slightly painful color because of the pain.
Many grains are still smiling and say slowly——
”Since then, I swear that since God sent such a beautiful girl to save me in my most painful time, I must make a career, become a man and make a lot of money!”
”Therefore, I will never have any complaints again. I strive to cultivate and strengthen my strength. At the same time, let yourself become better and stronger! But no matter how strong I become, I will never forget the girl who gave me a bread and cheese sauce that night. ”
”So... When I meet you again here, I can hardly describe my mood in words. Ariel, do you understand now? ”
The sound of the piano stopped, and the grain's face was full of moving and tears. He looked at the girl in bed with no respect in his eyes. But the expression of gratitude was silent.
The girl raised her hand and silently gathered her hair. After a long time, she nodded faintly: ”so... You were the Bard lying in front of our residence... You didn't say, I forgot to have you...”
Grain put down the lute, smiled and nodded, ”so now you know I will never take any action against the mermaid song? Maybe I've been a little tough before, but I'll never forget your kindness to me, Miss Ariel. ”
