Chapter 54 Ch.54 Principle, I hope you are like her

Roland, I am very happy to receive your letter.

Life in Fork County is not bad, but I imagine the weather is better than where you are.

I have moved out of the workhouse.

After receiving the 'gift' you gave me, I rented a small house so that after work every day I no longer have to compete with others for a spot with powder blocks.

This is great.

Thank you, Roland.

Before I left, those men and women often talked about you, saying that you were adopted by a big man and lived a good life, but you were ungrateful and unwilling to return to Fork County to help them who had given you a helping hand——

Bullshit helping hand! They haven't even given you a penny or a word, and they haven't said anything on your behalf!

These pigs and hyenas are so whimsical.

Children don’t have so many dirty thoughts. There are a few girls who always knock on the door and secretly ask me for news about you:

‘Will Roland come back? When are you coming back? ’

I guess these girls are just waiting for you.

Before I moved away, Abner asked me about the lady.

This pig is full of fat intestines!

I didn't tell him a word!

I read your letter several times and I'm so glad you found your home - having friends and family makes all the difference, right?

I said it, Roland.

There must be someone in this world who loves you.

Don't send me any more money. I'm doing a great job in the textile factory.

You and I now have hope in our pockets.

We need to live well.

——Love you forever, James Jones.

Three letters were placed on the square table beside his bed.

One, as above, from Fork County, from James Jones.

As for the other two letters, one is from the West District and one is from the East District.

Mrs. Cherry Chloe, and, belatedly, her uncle, Phu Hugh Collins.

As Roland mentioned before, this lady, who had been a little haggard recently and had many things going on at home, wrote her thoughts into a letter and sent it in.

It was full of trivial life, as well as curses on her husband, pain at the rumors that slandered her, and concern for Roland's condition.

There was no politeness, it was just like she was nagging "You are too thin" in front of her.

Roland planned to reply to her.

After all, I have to stay here for who knows how long.

The letter from his uncle was very short, and Fernandez helped bring it in.

There are not many words, but in summary:

'How are you. ’

'I told you, don't go overboard. ’

‘The big man said you were injured, I guess it was a back injury. ’

‘Without you, the ladies won’t come here often, and they will lose a lot of income. ’

‘I’ll wait for you to come back. ’

"The old guy who quits the environment."

yes.

Roland happily unfolded the paper, placed it on a small board, and replied with the short pen the nun had prepared for him.

"Someone cares about you, Roland."

I know, what's there to say?

"Look at the corners of your mouth almost reaching your ears."

Roland hummed happily and dangled his feet under the quilt.

After comforting Pugh Collins and telling him that the letter was ghostwritten, he folded the letter into a small size and stuffed it into an envelope.

Now it was time to think about how to reply to Mrs. Cherry.

He held the penholder and thought for a while before writing on the paper:

"I wish you good health and eternal youth."

"I am very happy to receive your reply."

"You don't have to blame yourself for my injury. In addition to protecting you, my friend, this is also the responsibility of an executive."

"I remember telling you that I have many stories hidden in my head."

"I don't know if this can alleviate the noise that often rings in your ears at night. If it can help you have a good night's sleep and help your increasingly declining spirit, that would be great."

"This is what a friend should do."

"I don't know what you would like to hear, so I will take it upon myself to tell you what I like."

A pin drop could be heard in the room.

Roland wrote repeatedly.

Those lingering and picturesque stories were slowly written on the letter paper.

This seemed to take him back to that dark, stinking room - the place that almost changed his life.

There, Miss Nina endured the pain and showed him countless wonderful worlds day and night.

Now, he wants to secretly reveal a corner of the world to his friends.

Of course, in order to prevent the letter from leaking out, he chose one that was not so 'forbidden'.

for example…

The magnificent and dangerous dragon's lair where the storm gathers.

Dark blue ink spreads on the paper. The boy and the girl hold hands and look at the sky.

"'My father is not a liar!' the boy shouted."

"'It's floating in the sky! I'll find it!'"

Roland hummed a tune, and the characters floated like clouds, kissing each other.

They became the scenery in the story, and when passing through the storm, they sang songs together, filling the boundary between life and death with joy and sorrow.

"The accelerator lever is pushed all the way."

"But he still can't catch up with that illusory shadow."

"'Follow me, son.' The Phantom looked back at the boy as if to say this. He smiled brightly."

"Witness, record."

"You are a witness to the legend..."

"You too will become a legend."

"The clouds are wet with tears."

"That was the last farewell between the boy and his liar father."

It was like an old story imprinted in the yellowed pages of a book, waiting to be carefully picked up by the discoverer many years later.

Roland skillfully copied the shining adventure in his memory, hoping to gaze at the city that was drifting farther and farther and higher with Lady Cherry Croy.

"'I am Roshida Doyel Ulu Laputa!' The girl was brave and fearless. She stood in the storm, her voice echoing in the sky, as if passing through history and overlapping with the kings of all generations."

"'My people passed away, and the country was covered in dust.'"

"'We are legends among legends, miracles among miracles, stories that are passed down, and dreams that will never appear again.'"

"'Here...'"

"'As the last queen, I declare--'"

"'Fly!'"

"'Go to the sky! Go to the end of people's memory!'"

"'You are free! Punish!'"

Roland blunted the ink on the paper , skipped a line, and wrote at the end:

"I hope you are as persistent and passionate as a boy, as brave and strong as a girl, and as free and carefree as going to the city in the sky."

"I dedicate this story only to you, to my friend, Cherry-Chloe."

"May you get clear springs and clean winds in your boring life, washing your bright eyes and pure heart."

"May you be like Roshida."
