Reaching out to help Ifrit remove the crumbs, he took a small chicken wing from the table in front of the girl, took off the gloves, lifted a bit of the mask, and the doctor gnawed on it with relish.

The taste is very familiar, and it tastes the same as a store in the previous life, except that the chicken and the skin are crispy and more details are paid attention to.

The doctor has a pair of slender and white hands with well-defined joints and even fingers.The doctor seldom lifts his mask, at most he lifts it a little while eating and drinking, just to expose his mouth.

Everyone in Rhodes Island was very curious about the doctor's appearance. Ifrit was considered an old employee when he came to Rhodes Island, he naturally paid attention to the doctor's every move.

According to his research and eavesdropping on the discussion of the people in the medical department, Ifrit can confirm that the doctor is at least not too ugly, and he has also helped the doctor process some documents in the control center (not making trouble), but It's not many times to see what the doctor looks like under the mask from such a quiet distance.

The jaw line is pronounced, the lips are thin and look cold, and the skin is fine.This is the conclusion drawn by Rhodes Island's female operatives in the past few years. Ifrit saw the doctor in front of him gnawing on the chicken bone slowly, his face turned slightly red.

It has been several years since I went to Rhodes Island, and my heart has been untied a few years ago. The environment in Rhodes Island is quite special, and Ifrit is a bit precocious, and the medical department is relatively straightforward. Little Ifrit, who was eavesdropping on the sidelines, still understood a lot.

Ifrit looked dazed, her face looked rather red, and she was a little worried about the child's condition. The doctor stretched out his hand to test her temperature.

It's normal for her body temperature to be higher than her own, but Ifrit's uneasiness in front of her is the mental condition Hemo said that Ifrit needs to deal with?

He stretched out his hand and waved in front of the little girl, pulling back her somewhat slackened spirit. The little girl lowered her head and said sorry. Such an obedient reaction was a bit beyond the doctor's expectation, but neither of them paid much attention to it.

I had a rare and satisfying dinner, and I used the general membership card given by the little rich woman Shi Huaiya to pay the bill, which is equivalent to the doctor who had fried chicken for nothing and was very satisfied.

It's all because of Furong's healthy eating plan for herself, and she showed it to Little Rabbit, and most importantly, Little Rabbit took it seriously.I can only go to the cafeteria to eat by myself. Every time I go to the cafeteria, what I can order is always healthy, and the occasional supply of Gumi and blue poison can save the fragile heart of the doctor.

So it's great to accompany Ifrit to eat and drink with public funds this time!

Without the supervision and squeeze of the little rabbit and the big cat, the doctor actually started to like this private spiritual counseling a little bit.

Ifrit's home is a three-bedroom, two-living room specially designated for Hemer in Rhodes Island. The decoration style is not bad, with some flame marks that children like.

It was already night when I got home, and the room was quiet and no one was there.

At seven or eight o'clock, it is estimated that according to the working habits of the medical department, it is the beginning of night work.

The doctor frowned, feeling that he understood something.

Accompany Ifrit to finish her homework, watch the latest episode of "Superman Armed" with her on the sofa, and finally it's time to coax her to sleep.

In late spring, the weather has been warmer for a long time. The little girl put on a silk gown pajamas, and let down her damp hair, loosely draped behind her head. Unlike the usual little troublemaker with extraordinary firepower, Yi at this moment There was a hint of obedience and quietness about Fleet.

Chapter 10 Good night, Ifrit ([-])

When did you meet Ifrit?The hair of the girl in front of her has grown long, and her once arrogant eyes have also begun to calm down, becoming more and more sensible. What hasn't changed is her little habit of wringing her fingers lightly when thinking about things.

I have experienced a lot of things with Ifrit. When did this guy secretly grow up by himself?

The first time I met Ifrit was one night.

The weather was fine that night and the stars were clear.The doctor has been working all night in the infrastructure control center, racking his brains for the lack of medical units on the island.

At that time, the doctor had just arrived in Rhodes Island, and all related matters were waiting for him to deal with. It happened that the few years before he came to Terra were the busiest time, and there was no need for Amiya to remind him. At that time, the doctor stayed up all night. Sleeping is a common occurrence.

On that day, the control center in the early morning received a message from Kelsey that two excellent medical workers from Rhine Life came to the bridge.

When the doctor came to the bridge out of breath, he was attracted by those eyes at first sight.

The eyes are clear and messy. The owner of the eyes looks like a young child, but there are so many emotions hidden in the eyes.

Depression, pain, disdain, fear, curiosity, many emotions flowed in the eyes.The blond child hid behind the brown-haired woman, poking out a small head to look at the doctor.

From then on, the doctor paid attention to this little girl from Rhine Life.

The two who came with the little girl are indeed rare medical experts, which greatly alleviated the shortage of doctors.The little girl also met the doctor's guess, and gained a great reputation in Rhodes Island.

In the beginning, the doctor simply listened to the complaints of the operators, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Children, it's nature to have fun.

Until noon one day, the little girl somehow opened the door of the control center, and met the doctor unexpectedly under the strong sunlight.

From then on, the doctor gradually became acquainted with Ifrit.

It's been several years all of a sudden, and everyone has experienced a lot.

The doctor smiled, grabbed those restless little hands, and slowed down his tone.

"Does Ifrit like this kind of life?"

"Except for not being able to see the doctor much, it's still good." Ifrit showed a big smile.

Rubbing the girl's little head, the doctor remained silent for a while, just looking at Ifrit quietly.

The smile on Ifrit's face didn't last long, and then she lost little by little under the doctor's gaze. The little face that was still smiling just now fell away, and the face returned to the expression of neither joy nor sadness. expression.

The doctor looked worried for a while.

"I don't like going to school, and the people there don't like me. They're normal people and I'm a monster. They're just afraid of me." The little man hugged his legs and buried his face in his knees.

"Hemer always comes home very late these days. She is still resting when I go out, and Serena rarely comes to see me." The little girl's voice was muffled.

"Sister White-faced Owl just said that they are very busy, and the sister in the medical department always asks me to wait for a while, even you, doctor." Her voice paused.

"I haven't seen the doctor for a long time."

"How long has it been? Didn't the last time I saw you was just a week ago?" The doctor replied with a chuckle.

"But you used to come to see me every day." Ifrit raised her head and said loudly.

She stood up suddenly and threw herself on the doctor. The doctor, who was a little dazed, was thrown to the ground with a chair and a person. The small body suddenly burst out with huge strength, and the doctor, an ordinary human being, could not move. .

Her hair was drooping, and she looked at the doctor's mask with a little red eyes. She bent down and bit the doctor's shoulder heavily.

The door was swung open, and the girl with pink hair and brown eyes rushed in with a serious expression.

"Go out, Li, and close the door." The doctor's voice was very weak.

Li hesitated for a while, but closed the door and went out.

"Sure enough, you are still afraid of me all the time, aren't you?" Raising his head, Ifrit looked at the door and turned his head.

"There is no need to fight now, and my use value is gone, right?"

"Send me to school, what else do you need to adapt to the life of ordinary people, in fact, you are preparing to abandon me, right?"

"Hemer was dragged to work by you because there is still medical research to be done, and Saria was kept by you because she can help you suppress the unstable factors, and what about me?"

"Problem children like me who only know how to destroy can just throw it away after use, right!"

"Say something!" the girl roared loudly, tears dripping down her face.

She had never looked forward to a person that much. Hemo and Sereya were her closest relatives, but the doctor was different.

The care and peace he gives, the unscrupulousness in front of him, and the expectation only in front of him.He let himself live, not in the heart of Hemo and Saria, but as it should be, so she also wanted him to be happy.

To fight, to go to school, to be a normal human being.

The harder you try to please someone, the more likely that person will break your heart.Expectation is the root of all heartache.

"Say something, doctor, tell me, I'm still useful, and I can stay by your side, okay?"

The girl's body was trembling, but her tone was so fragile, like an extremely weak flame under a strong wind.

Some tears hit the mask and smudged, blurring vision.

That's right, I see.

He hugged the girl gently and held her in his arms.Whisper softly in her ear.

"No, Ifrit, you are useless."

Chapter 11 Good night, Ifrit ([-])

Trying to hug the girl on her body to prevent her from running away, the girl's small body is a rare fragility in her body.

Looking into those eyes, the doctor's tone was slow and firm.

"In the past, when we were still fighting around. Your flame, your fighting power, your excellent Originium skills. These are what I need you for."

"Not only do I need you, Rhode Island also needs you."

"But now? The battle is over, the illness is recovering, and we're approaching a whole new world where there's no need to fight."

"So, in this world, do we still need Miss Ifrit's fighting skills?" The doctor asked softly, holding the crying face.

Ifrit's hands were clutching her clothes tightly, as if she was afraid of something suddenly disappearing.

"Then let me tell you, I don't need it, I don't need it anymore." The doctor's voice was very soft.

"That Ifrit who only knows how to fight is no longer needed."

The doctor held the pear-blossoming face with all his strength, not letting this guy hide from his sight.

"In this brand new world, what I need is a brand new person, someone who understands how to live and what to fight for."

"So in this world, Ifrit has no use value."

"But we never gave up on you."

The girl froze and opened her eyes wide.

"You asked me why I sent you to school, because it is the most suitable place for children to grow up, where you can learn how to adapt to later life."

"You asked me why Hemer and Saria didn't see you very much recently. I told Hemer and Saria to let you solve the problem alone as much as possible. They love you, but they understand what you really need."

"You asked me if I was going to throw you away, yes, I really wanted to throw you away, to the place where the sun can shine."

The girl became quiet, as if she had lost some strength, she lay on the chest of the doctor who was lying on the ground, and listened quietly.

Following Ifrit's messy hair, the doctor continued.

"To learn the life of ordinary people, to enjoy the sunshine and wind of this world, to chase everything you really want, to be a not so ordinary ordinary person."

"This is my wish, and this is your use value for me."

Yes, to enjoy everything that cannot be enjoyed because of the darkness, to take a warm bath under the sun, to experience the ups and downs in the firewood, rice, oil and salt.

This is the promise the doctor made to Rhodes Island from the very beginning.

"Then can I really do it?" The girl's voice was small.

"It doesn't matter if you can't do it, it doesn't matter if those people don't like you, you don't need to do it, and you don't need to please others, you are Ifrit, the one who burned me the first time I saw me High-end Ifrit."

The girl burst out laughing, raised her eyes, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her eyes were colorful.

"Then doctor, when I learn the life of ordinary people and have many friends, can I still follow you?"

At this moment, the star in the girl's eyes is like the first flower to bloom in the sea of ​​flowers.

"Okay."

————————————————————————————————————————

After confirming that the little guy was asleep, and helping her tuck the quilt, the doctor closed the door and came out.

The two people outside the door had been waiting for a long time, and Hemo rushed forward to greet her anxiously, and Saria carefully supported her to prevent this extremely nervous person from falling down.

Before Hemer could ask, the doctor stretched out his hand and hissed, signaling the two parents not to disturb their children.

"Everything is normal, we can get back to the previous relationship." The doctor smiled softly, this is what he has been looking forward to, after all, it is quite boring without a treasure in the office.

Hemo heaved a sigh of relief, and suddenly fell asleep as if relieved from a heavy burden.

"As expected, an owl." The doctor clicked his tongue a little bit, but he understood Hemer's nervousness, and just nodded to Selea who was beside him.

Given the tacit understanding between the doctor and Serena, naturally, there was no need to say much. Serena also nodded slightly to the doctor, and helped Hemo back to the room.

Walking out of the family's door, the doctor returned to the already dark streets of Rhode Island.

In the darkness, a girl came gently, and naturally held the doctor's hand.

Facing the girl's worried eyes, the doctor shook his head.

"Ifrit is a good child, she has a sense of control, so don't worry about me."

Only then did the girl feel relieved, holding the doctor's hand and shaking it, her pink hair was slowly blown by the wind.

The stars are high, tomorrow will be fine, suddenly there is a wind blowing, it is the last taste of spring.

Summer is coming.

Seeing that the light behind him also dimmed, the doctor smiled slightly.

"Good night, then. Ifrit."
