Chapter 293 - Peaceful (1/2)
Then again, who wouldn't stare? Aside from her height, one can tell she is a kid. She has sophisticated features on her face, even her height isn't normal for a girl her age.
”How does lemon sherbet sound?” Lyn said happily as she read out the flavors.
”Lemon? Huh, don't you want something better? Look there is chocolate here or strawberry,” Arthur pointed to the other flavors. Most girls like these things don't they?
Lyn shook her head. ”But look, you can even see the lemon peels. They must have made it themselves.”
”Homemade, huh? Let's get it.”
His thoughts broke off when she laughed. ”What?”
”I just thought that it's like you. You seem to like homemade things.”
Arthur scratches his hair.
”Is it that obvious?”
Lyn laughed, ”No, I think I've been watching you too much.”
At that comment, he looked away. If this girl weren't younger than him, he would have seriously made a move already. She spouts such innocent sounding lines. He reached over and patted her hair, ”Don't be so defenseless in the future.”
”Hm?”
”Nothing, two lemon frozen ice please,” Arthur called out. While they were not exactly in the line, due to his tall height and loud voice, the workers heard them. Many people looked over and glared but said nothing. This is how things are over here, after all. First, come first serves.
Still, ”You keep making that cheery face, is this all new to you?”
”Yes, I've never gone to a place like this before.”
”You're acting like a child today,” Arthur commented. He almost forgot her age because of how mature she's been acting and let's face it; she doesn't look like a child at all.
Lyn pouted, ”What is that supposed to mean?”
”Nothing.”
”You're implying something.”
”I'm not!!!”
”And now you're acting suspiciously..”
This girl, why is she so sharp for? ”Thank you for waiting,” the workers held out their frozen ice, and Arthur takes it from them. He passed one to the girl and kept the other for himself.
”Mmm! It's delicious,” Lyn beamed happily.
She's making such a stupid face. Well, he supposes an outing like this isn't bad at all. He's been cooped up in his room for the past few days. Getting a breath of fresh air like this is indeed better.

After they finished eating their ice creams, they continued walking. Lyn peered over at Arthur, he's an odd person isn't he? He clearly knew that she didn't have permission to go out and yet here they are. Maybe she should have reminded him about the rules. No, he knows them. Lyn shook her head, why is she overthinking this? She ought to be grateful that she can go out.
It seems very lively around here. There are even kids running around. What's more, they are beside the sea. This is the first time she's seen the sea. Lyn beamed happily, indeed breaking the rules once in awhile should be fine. It's not like she came out where alone. It should be fine if they return before master and Abeno does.
Lyn's thoughts, however, broke when a group of kids crashed into her. She immediately lost her balance. The kids immediately rushed off.qs
”That must hurt, can you stand?”
Lyn tried to do so, but it only came out as a pained cry.
”What? Did your foot gets twisted? Here, let me look.”
Lyn nodded. She felt nothing when at first, but now she can feel a throbbing pain.
