"I've said it all, I'm not Xiaobai..."
"But being able to appear here shows courage." The old man said suddenly, "It doesn't mean that Campbell's name is tarnished."
"Eh?"
Mu En was taken aback.
He knows my identity?
And what he meant was...
But before he could ask questions, he was full of doubts, and found that the old man closed his eyes again, as if he didn't pay attention to anyone.
"In that case, let's try to struggle..."
Only the old and erratic voice like the wind echoed in Mu En's ears.
"I will buy you time before the last moment."
[WEB] 124. The Lonely Witch
"Apprentice."
Mu En heard a soft cry.
Subconsciously look back.
Then, in this dark and cramped small room, he seemed to feel that the world brightened up.
Anna changed into a purple knee-length skirt, with a high waistline and a high collar. The black belt was tied lightly, and the waist was highlighted, and the chest was tall and straight, majestic and magnificent.
The skirt swayed like layered petals, slender and round thighs, wrapped in glossy black silk protruding from under the skirt, like stamens, carrying a different kind of temptation.
"Does it look good?"
Anna gently flicked the hem of the skirt, and it bloomed like a flower in an instant.
She had light makeup on her face, her long hair was habitually slanted on her chest, and she was particularly captivating with a glance and a smile.
"It's beautiful."
Mu En nodded like pecking rice, this was not flattery, he really felt that the slightly dressed senior sister was more attractive than before.
He was stunned.
"As long as the junior likes it."
Anna smiled with satisfaction, and it was not in vain that she dressed herself so seriously for the first time.
This was the first time she felt nervous before meeting someone.
"Humph."
In the small shop, there was an untimely snort from the third person.
Anna turned her head, and the old man was still lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, as if in a sound sleep.
She walked over and gently placed a bottle of potion beside the old man.
"It's specially made for you. When your joints hurt again in the future, you can put two drops on it, and it should have a relief effect."
"..."
"Don't sleep in this kind of place in the future, it's getting colder and colder."
"..."
"In winter, just close the shop. I pooled money to buy you a small house in the west of the city. It's warm in winter and cool in summer. It's better than staying here."
"..."
"The orphanage, please take care of it."
"..."
"Sorry, this may be the last time I'll be back."
In the quiet shop, Anna was always talking to herself.
The old man didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Anna was not annoyed either, perhaps she had already guessed that the old man would react in this way.
After leaving the potion and the key with the old man, Anna lowered her eyes to hide her inner emotions, and left the shop with Mu En.
Ding dong.
The breeze blows the wind chimes, and the sound is crisp.
But the loneliness of this small shop became more and more apparent.
The old man on the rocking chair finally opened his eyes, raised his skinny hand like a tree branch, picked up the bottle of potion and looked at it carefully.
"It's really stupid. I didn't teach you your potion?"
As he spoke, the old man opened the potion bottle and sniffed it lightly.
At this moment, for the first time, such a clear expression appeared on his old face.
"Is that so... Your potion attainment... Has it surpassed me, an old bastard?"
……
……
"The one just now was..."
Walking side by side with her senior in the remote alley, Mu En still couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked.
"It's my adoptive father." Anna said softly, brushing her hair disheveled by the breeze.
"Father?"
"I once told my juniors that I grew up in an orphanage."
Anna looked up, gazing at the distant sky through the thin clouds.
"The rules of the orphanage, after the age of 11, you must leave the orphanage and live independently."
"11 years old?"
Mu En was stunned, "This is too young, what can an 11-year-old do?"
"It's not too young. In the lower city, 11 years old is not too young. It's old enough to survive alone."
Anna spoke out this cruel reality with fluffy words.
Mu En was silent.
Only then did he suddenly realize that this is not the modern era in his previous life where the productivity was high enough to feed everyone, and as long as it was in a peaceful country, 11-year-old children would never be allowed to come out to mix in society.
Although this world has powerful magic, advanced alchemy techniques, and unspeakable great gods, the bottom layer of this world is still very backward.
Many people in the lower city are still hungry every day.
"There is no way to do this. The orphanage can only do this in order to help more people. But those years in the orphanage were the happiest and most carefree time for me. Therefore, I am very grateful to the orphans. hospital."
Anna put her hands behind her back, tilted her head, and said coquettishly:
"Student, don't speak ill of the orphanage."
"How come, I should thank that orphanage for raising such a beautiful senior." Mu En smiled slightly.
"Student is still so good at talking."
Anna's beautiful eyes flashed, and she continued:
"However, compared to other children, I was lucky. I was adopted by him when I left the orphanage."
"The old man?"
"Well, he is a weird and mysterious old man. He never told me his name, his identity. Except for a few specific customers, no one patronized the store at all, but he didn't care at all. Every time I When he went back, he was lying on the rocking chair as before, dozing off, as if he had a sleep that would never end.
Even now, I don't know what to call him. "
"But I always feel that the old man cares about Senior Sister." Mu En sighed.
"Ah."
After a pause, Anna nodded lightly, "Maybe, although I have a weird temper, I have to admit that he taught me all my skills, potions, magic, how to survive in this world.
Without him, there would be no me now. "
Anna turned her head and looked back at the end of the street.
That small shop is in a place where the dead leaves are falling, lonely and far away, as if it will always be open, waiting for her return.
As ever.
"That stubborn old man, let him move into a new house...he definitely won't want to." She murmured softly.
Looking at Anna, Mu En's gaze flickered again.
"Sister."
"Ok?"
"We will be able to come back again, for sure."
"……Um."
……
……
Passing through that extraordinarily remote street, Mu En's vision suddenly opened up.
A wide river crosses the green field, and not far away, it meets two other equally wide rivers, forming a sea-like turbulence, and then meanders to the end of the horizon amidst the phosphorescence everywhere.
Bellerand is not facing the sea, but there are three rivers that flow through the city. Apart from the most famous ancient Rhine River, the other two rivers named "Az" and "Groy" are also Each has its own unique scenery.
On the bank of the river, there are scattered abandoned buildings hidden in the dark green and withered yellow. Anna and Mu En followed each other and walked leisurely.
"here it is……"
However, Mu En still couldn't help being puzzled. Although the senior sister was the leader of this date in order to "strike him", this kind of place was still too unfamiliar to Mu En.
"This is where I used to come to when I was a kid."
Anna walked past those old buildings, her fingers swept lightly over the green walls and statues, her eyes showed a trace of nostalgia.
"Actually, I don't have much experience in dating, so I don't know what to do, and I'm afraid I can't appear on the street openly now, so I can only bring my juniors to this kind of place."
Anna turned around apologetically, "Young brother won't blame me."
"how come."
Mu En smiled.
"As long as there is a senior sister, you can go anywhere."
"..."
Anna turned around suddenly, gave Mu En a reproachful look,
"Is it me who attacked you, or you who attacked me, you little scumbag."
"Of course it's my sister who attacked me."
Mu En blinked,
"Sister, tell me about your past."
"What happened to me before? It's nothing to listen to."
"Deepen your understanding, isn't this necessary for a date?"
"Didn't the junior tell you about your past?"
"my past?"
Mu En scratched her head and said awkwardly:
"Senior sister will be angry after hearing this."
