Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 510 Are You More Reliable Than Lingge?

Did you really think so at that time?

Because he thought of the whales in the sea and wanted them to be able to fly freely while looking up at the sky in the deep sea, he shaped the earth into the shape of a giant whale, letting it fly up from the Ronin Valley and leap high into the vast sky...Yieta couldn't remember clearly. After all, memory is a magical thing. Some things happened a long time ago, but they are as clear as yesterday; some things happened just now, but they are as strange as in the previous life.

However, since Lingge said so, it must be true.

Thinking of this, Yieta's mood suddenly improved. She couldn't help but smile brightly and nodded to Lingge vigorously: "Yeah!"

It seemed that her mood had almost recovered.

In this case, Lingge's purpose of coming here has been achieved. He stood up, patted the dust on his pants, and said to Yieta: "Let's talk about this. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

There is one last problematic girl waiting for me to comfort her.

"Eh?" Yieta stretched out her tone: "Why is it like this~"

She looked at Lingge eagerly, unable to hide the disappointment on her face, with a hesitant expression of wanting to keep her but not daring to speak. Combined with the white wings that wrapped her whole body tightly, leaving only a pitiful little face exposed, Lingge always felt that he was not facing an angel, but a lonely fledgling that was forced to part with its family, and he was her only support. If he chose to turn around and leave at this time, I'm afraid even his conscience would be at a loss, right?

"He's really gone."

Although she knew very well that everyone would leave and it was impossible for someone to stay with her forever.

When she could no longer see him, Yieta rested her chin on her knees and muttered to herself.

Time passed little by little, and when the clock in the Fairy Sleeping Inn quietly pointed to three o'clock in the afternoon, Yieta stopped her endless story and realized that she seemed to have taken up too much of Ling'er's time. So she silently retracted her head into the badminton, a blush of shame appeared on her face, as if she was drunk and cute.

"Really!?"

She talked on her own, not caring whether Lingge was listening or not. Perhaps she didn't really want to chat, but was just looking for someone to listen. Lingge listened silently, without interrupting her rashly. Only when she got too excited and the topic went off track, he would remind her to get back to the topic.

Ugh.

Lingge himself didn't care. Seeing that she had nothing to say, he asked to leave again. This time, Yieta didn't try to keep him, but said goodbye to him softly. Then she sat by the door and watched the young man walk down the steps, into the endless primrose field, and gradually disappeared into the depths of the path shaded by colorful primroses.

"I feel a little lonely," she whispered.

Yieta's eyes lit up, and she poked her head out from her wings, looking impatient: "So what are we going to talk about? I know, let's talk about the things I experienced when I was wandering on the beach before, Lingge, do you want to know? Let me tell you, I have not only met whales, but also sharks. However, sharks in the sea are actually very friendly. They don't attack passing fishing boats and humans as the fishermen say. Maybe it's because the shark I met was special? Some reefs on the beach are full of holes, and small animals such as hermit crabs live in them. You can see a lot of them every time the tide goes out..."

But after all,

He sighed helplessly in his heart, then sat back in his original seat: "Then let's talk for a while."

Although, this kind of loneliness is not unpleasant.

……

After leaving the flower fields of Yieta, Lingge walked along the road that the stone guards had paved. His destination was the Fairy Sleep Inn in the northwest forest. If nothing unexpected happened, the next troubled girl who needed his comfort would be staying in the inn. Why did he sound more like a priest than before? You know, during the Tianxin Church period, the residents of the Holy Cross District and the White Citizen District never asked him to come to their homes for psychological counseling, and he naturally had no interest in this aspect. I didn't expect that I would achieve the first breakthrough in my career on an empty island. Should I say it's a lucky thing? Or should I complain that Alice always makes trouble for me?
Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but sigh. The heavy sigh echoed in the empty and quiet wooden path, mixed with the thumping sound of his heels, and spread far away in the wind, until it reached someone's ears.

"Huh?" Alice's ears moved: "I seem to hear someone calling my name. Is it Lingge?"

The pink-haired little girl in front of her was indifferent and didn't take the words to heart. She just thought that Alice was talking nonsense again, so she also sighed sadly, not realizing that her sigh at this moment formed a subtle echo with her brother in the distant forest. Then she asked helplessly: "Sister Alice, you have been here for more than half an hour. If there is anything, just say it directly."

Please don't disturb my homework here, okay?

Metien looked at the stone mortar, sandpaper, metal rods and other tools for grinding herbs on the workbench, as well as a sample of blood coagulation grass that had never been touched, and felt that the responsibility was heavy and the time was tight. In recent days, because she played too much with Shemi and Leticia, she fell behind in a lot of homework. Recently, her brother ordered her to make up for it within a time limit before she could continue to play with her friends.

It was embarrassing enough that she forgot her homework and was scolded by her brother, but Sister Alice came to her pharmacy at such a critical moment, without saying a word, just staring at her with a smile, which made people scared. What scared her the most was not that Sister Alice had something to ask her, but that she was obviously asking her something, but she was still mysterious, which made people feel uneasy and always had an ominous premonition.

"Really?" Alice's eyes lit up, not realizing that her expression was similar to that of a certain angel lady not long ago: "Then can I speak frankly?"

"Yeah, yeah." Metien nodded repeatedly, wishing she would speak directly, and at the same time he secretly complained, "When have you not spoken directly?" Did she just learn to be tactful recently, so she couldn't wait to come to him to practice?

I'm very busy too, Sister Alice.

"Ahem." Alice cleared her throat pretentiously, trying to make her tone sound serious and formal, as if she was discussing a major event related to the future of mankind and world peace. "Actually, it's like this. Didn't you notice that Xiaoxia and the others were in a good mood these days? I think it's all the fault of that woman named Fei'er. It's all because of her abruptly revealing the explosive background setting without any PV preview, which made them unable to accept it for a while and fell into autism. What do you think about this, Captain Metien?"

She solemnly dug out the military rank she had used long ago.

"That, I know too." When Metien heard that she was really here to discuss something serious, he put down the tools at hand and focused on the conversation. A tangled expression appeared on his little face: "But you suddenly asked me what to do. I don't know either, Sister Alice."

Because I'm just a little girl with pink hair.

"Actually, I've asked Lingge to comfort them."

"Isn't that already resolved?"

"Not yet!" Alice suddenly raised her voice and slapped the table with her palm, making a "bang" sound, which made the grinding tools on the workbench tremble a few times, showing with practical actions that she was very dissatisfied with Metien's answer - of course, she immediately retracted her red palm behind her back after slapping the table, so there is no need to pay too much attention to such details.

In short, Alice was very imposing, and she reprimanded Metien in a tone of disappointment: "How can you think that the matter has been resolved just because Ling Ge came forward? Do you think Ling Ge is reliable? Will he never disappoint us? I think your trust in Ling Ge is a bit blind, Captain Metien! You must correct your attitude and learn to think independently! The key now is that we can't just pin our hopes on one person, but we have to come up with another countermeasure to prepare a way out, understand?"

"Oh." Regardless of whether he understood or not, Metien nodded first, because he knew that arguing with Sister Alice in this state would not have a good result. As for whether Lingge is reliable or not... he is more reliable than you, right?

"So what do you think we should do?" She was not ashamed to ask... uh, not ashamed to ask from her superiors, hoping that Sister Alice would not just say nice things and then come up with ideas herself in the end, or just come up with some bad ideas, such as leading an army of 700,000 to attack the headquarters of the united religious orders.

"Hum hum!"

The golden-haired maid laughed triumphantly: "I came to you because I have a solution. This solution will definitely help Xiaoxia and the others get out of depression and regain a happy life. Now, Captain Metien, no one else knows. I will only tell you this plan, and I will name it -"

“Seaside holiday!”
