honor me as god

Chapter 231
Kino looked at Solandelle who looked disappointed, and shook his head slightly: "If it's just to cater to you, I can certainly say that we are friends. I don't have a language barrier, so I can still say the word friend."

"But like now, you treat me as a friend sincerely, but I can't understand this relationship. If you continue to perfunctory, this is very rude and unfair to you."

Lorna tilted her head in doubt: "Why can't I understand 'friend'? There's nothing difficult to understand, right?"

"Look there." Kino pointed to the vast night sky, "What's on the other side of the star?"

Lorna shook her head: "I don't know."

Chino: "Why don't you know?"

"Because I haven't been there before, I can't understand its existence." When Lorna said this, she seemed to realize something and fell into deep thought.

"I understand." Solandelle suddenly felt a sudden, and said deeply, "You mean, you can't understand friends—just like the example you just gave, we live on the ground and cannot cross the starry sky. Can't understand what's on the other side of the starry sky."

"If you can't understand it, it means you can't touch it, and you can't talk about accepting or rejecting it."

"That's what it means." Kino gently brushed Solandelle's wind-blown hair behind her ears, "For me, you are special because you once solved a puzzle for me, a question that can change my mind. The confusion of my future life."

"So, your status in my heart is higher than that of anyone else in this world. Because of this, I can perfuse other people when it comes to friends, but I can't perfuse you."

Solandelle looked at Kino, her amber pupils reflected the brilliance of the starry sky, but they were flickering under the shadow of the tree, making her seem to be far and near, as if it was hard to touch.
The moonlight in the foggy and rainy season is indifferent, clear and cold, and the beautiful moonlight quietly passes through the mottled forest leaves, falling with the slightly cool evening wind.

The atmosphere was silent, and the three of them were thoughtful.

Kino got up and touched Randall's little head: "Okay, it's getting late, go back and rest. Anyway, our way of getting along will not change, and you don't have to look too much in front of me in the future." Restraint, just as before."

Lorna hurriedly asked: "That, then, can I still come to you to eat meat?"

Kino couldn't help but smile: "Of course."

"That's good~" Lorna showed a hippie smile again.

Just as Kino was about to leave, Solandelle suddenly called out, "No."

Solandelle's azure blue eyes are like lakes that wash away dust, and they slightly bend into crescents with a smile: "If one day, you understand the meaning of friends, can we be friends?"

Tonight the night sky is quiet and the moonlight is beautiful.

This question made Kino ponder for a long time. He didn't answer directly, but only gave an ambiguous answer: "Maybe."

The shadows of the trees in the garden are hazy, and the wind is gentle.

Just as Kino took two steps, he stopped slowly, turned his face, smiled and changed his answer: "I hope."

The moonlight is as clear as water, quietly shining on the Twilight City under the night, safe and quiet.

Kino is a short sleeper and only sleeps 3 hours a day, so he usually goes to bed in the second half of the night.

It is now 10 o'clock in the evening, and it is time for ordinary people to go to bed, but the people in the government mansion do not go to bed so early, they often like to go to the tavern in groups to drink until midnight, to vent the pressure of working during the day, and have a good time sleep.

Just at this moment, the Big Three of Xilin Town came back from drinking.

After the conversation with Solandelle just now, Chino became curious about friends.

Now that he happened to meet these three people, Kino specifically asked them what they thought of their friends.

Paladin said that friends are like-minded people who share a common language and are comfortable to get along with. The highest level is to develop into a "confidant".

Baisa said that a friend is the person sitting across from you while drinking, the more you drink, the deeper the relationship, especially the one who is willing to have a good time with you, you must make good friends.

Lu Ge said that men and women are divided into men and women. If a man can lead him to make money, he is a friend, and if a woman is willing to spend a good night with him, and he does not charge money, he is also a friend.

The answers of these three people did not give Kino any inspiration.

The one on Paladin is a bit of a reference, but it's too general.

Baiza's understanding is relatively one-sided. The "friend" he mentioned may be more appropriate to be understood as "drinking friends".

Lugona replied that it should be cerebral edema all the year round, and it would be good to have the wind in his ears.

After returning to the room, Kino sat at the desk, staring at the candles on the desk, the only orange light reflected in his pupils, it was very faint, but fortunately the bright moon hangs high tonight, blooming a charming light in the night sky , dissolve the darkness of the room
The moonlight is as clear as water, like pure white snow falling on Kino's hair, covering the room with a deep and hazy veil. Occasionally, the evening breeze blows in from the window and gently rubs against his ears, which is so gentle that people can't believe it. Thought it was a touch.

"Dong dong dong." Just as Kino was meditating, there was a knock on the door.

Kino opened the door, and found two figures in pajamas standing outside, their gentle faces illuminated by candlelight, as if they wanted to blend into the haze.

Solandelle hid her hands behind her back, and for some reason, she was a little shy and smirked from time to time. The dimples on both sides of her cheeks were faintly visible, and she didn't know if the blush on her face was from the candlelight or something else.

Lorna poked Solandelle's waist from behind and urged, "Hurry up, give it to him."

"Will you be laughed at?"

"No! Give it to him!"

"No." Solandelle plucked up the courage, stretched out her hands from behind, and handed the hidden things forward, pursing her lips with a sweet smile, "This...is what I've been thinking about for a long time and want to write to you, Hope it helps you understand what a friend is."

Kino took the things, raised the candle and took a closer look, and found that it was a letter, very thin, and there should only be a page of letter paper inside, but it was the most exquisite envelope, and there was a perennial blooming flower pinned to it. Laurel.

"Good night then." Solandelle's soft voice came from the darkness, her figure retreated into the darkness and became hazy, and followed the bouncing footsteps back to her room.

Kino closed the door, sat down at the table, and opened the envelope by candlelight. The moonlight fell on the paper like an elf dancing, splashing pure white brilliance.

This is a letter written by Solandelle. The calligraphy is extremely beautiful, and it is a very ornamental cursive script.

The content of the letter is very short, only one line, but it can be seen that the little princess put her hands on the paper and meditated for a long time, because the fragrance of her hands was left on the paper, and the cursive characters fluttered like laurel flowers in full bloom. Falling into the mirror-like lake water, the waves are slightly washed away:

"No matter where you are, Solandelle will always be under the moon; no matter where you want to go, Dougrand still returns home."
