Chapter Twenty-Nine: Irene's Persuasion
The days went by like this, and the rematch had begun. It's just that the first day will be played between the two divisions, and the second group will be played on the second day.
Regner didn't go to the game on the first day, he stuffed himself in the house and couldn't see anyone, and he wanted to get through the last day by sleeping in the house for the day. Because Regner had suffered a lot in the previous few days, and because he was desperate to see Annelot, the last few days of this kid could not be described as years like years.
So he expected that this last day would be the hardest day, and that sleeping would have been the best way to spend time. But he didn't expect that he couldn't sleep at all under the influence of manic emotions.
There was a soft knock on the door.
"I'll eat lunch later, you don't have to worry about me. Regner said.
"I'm not here to call you for lunch. Erin's voice rang out outside the door: "Brother Regner, may I come in?"
Ragner hesitated, but finally opened the door.
Erin walked in and sat down very casually, and in the past few days, she and Regner have completely shaken off the strangeness they haven't seen for years. Her relationship with Regner is basically not much different from the past.
"Is there something wrong?" Regner poured a cup of hot coffee from the thermos and handed it to Erin.
With three fingers missing from her right hand, Erin had to take the coffee with her left hand, and she smiled gratefully before saying, "You've been very restless these days. ”
Erin's words were not a question, but a statement that Regner's agitation was almost written on his face, and even Iniris could see that he was abnormal. Naturally, they also understood what it was, and because of this, they didn't know how to enlighten Regner. After all, this is Regner's personal problem, although Cordak and Vera are his big brothers and sisters, but this kind of thing is not convenient to ask more, and Innellis is just a little girl, what can she say?
But Erin is different, she is Regner's childhood friend, strictly speaking, she is the person who has spent the most time with Regner, and the person who knows him best. So Regner was even closer to her than to Kordak, and they talked about everything. It was, is, and will be.
"Yes. Regner did not deny it.
"Is it because of Miss Anne?" asked Erin.
"Yes. Regner nodded.
"Tell me about it. Irene said, "I don't think you can face Miss Anne like that." ”
"......" Regner was silent for a moment, then said, "I like Anne." ”
"I know. Erin nodded, her face was gentle and calm, but when Regner said this, there was still a gloom in her eyes.
"I told you before. Ragner took a deep breath and said, "Anne used to trust me, she ...... She has been helping me wholeheartedly, and she almost lost her life for me, for the boss. ”
"......" Erin heard Regner talk about it during the starry night on the rooftop.
"But......," said Regner, with some pain, "but I didn't believe her at the last critical moment. My teacher once said that although Anne was beautiful and strong, she didn't really have any friends when she grew up in that environment. So, she's actually a little autistic inside, and I'm probably the first person she's mustered up the courage to try to get close to......"
"She believes you unreservedly, but you doubt her. Irene said softly, "You will indeed make Miss Anne very sad by doing so. ”
"So I want to apologize to her. Regner said, "I want her forgiveness." However, I was afraid that she would have a sense of fear of trust between people because of what had happened before, which was what I was most afraid of what would happen. She can't even forgive me, but I don't want her to be disappointed in the world because of me. If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll live with guilt for the rest of my life. ”
"Is that what makes you anxious?" asked Erin.
"Yes. Regner nodded: "I miss Anne so much, I want to see her, but I'm afraid to see her and find out that she has become what I imagined." It's very contradictory, so I've been very irritable these days. ”
Erin smiled softly after hearing this, she looked at Regner, and then said, "Brother Regner, you are still like this." ”
"What?"
"I've always been there with contradictions, gains and losses, always thinking too much but always having the courage to face it. Erin looked at Regner and smiled, and she said, "But you made a mistake. ”
"What mistake?" asked Regner.
"You still don't believe Miss Anne. Erin said softly.
"Huh?" Regner was a little puzzled.
"Isn't it?" said Erin, looking at Regner, "what are you afraid of? Miss Anne will lose her courage and become a cold and heartless person. Do you think Miss Anne is really such a person? Is she really going to deny something because of a small setback? Is she such a timid and arbitrary person?"
"......" Regner fell silent as he heard this, and what Erin said reminded him of a man, and that was Balor. This guy is like Erin said, denying a world because of a setback, he is both timid and arbitrary. And Annie, will she be like Barol?
"No, it's not!" Regner suddenly understood, and he said confidently, "Anne is definitely not like that." She's always been a smart and courageous girl......! She's my Regner girl!
Erin looked at Regner, who had suddenly become confident, and smiled, "So, that's it." Actually, you don't have to fear anything at all, Miss Anne will probably continue to be angry with you. But she must not be that kind of coward. ”
"That's nature!" Regner suddenly brightened up because of Erin's words, and he immediately laughed heartily, and the guy suddenly stepped forward and kissed Erin on the forehead, and then gave the half-elf girl a fierce bear hug.
"Thank you, Irene. Ragner took a step back, looked at the somewhat stunned Erin and said with a smile.
"Nasty!" Erin turned red, glaring at Regner in shame. It's also a kiss on the forehead, Erin's reaction is much softer than Anne Lot, this half-elf girl is gentle and kind, she can't do things like slapping her face.
"If she hadn't been burned, she would have been a pretty girl. Regner looked at Erin's ugly face and felt a pain in his heart for no apparent reason. He suddenly spoke, "Erin. ”
"Huh?"
"I'll heal your wounds. Regner's expression was unprecedentedly solemn: "I, Regner, hereby promise that I will definitely heal the burns on your face and renew your severed finger." I will erase all the traces of suffering left on you, turn you into what you should be, and turn you into a pretty girl. ”
"Brother Regner, stop making jokes like that. Erin didn't get excited when she heard Regner's words, but there was a little more sadness in her eyes: "I know I'm an ugly bastard, and I can't change in my life." ”
"How can it not change?" Regner grinned, "There are many powerful magical powers in this world, let alone restore you to your original appearance, even if you want to become a man, it is probably not difficult to do it." Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to your brother, all right!"
"You're the man!" Erin said as soon as she realized that it didn't kill Ragner at all.
"Of course I'm a man. Regner shrugged.
"Hmph!" Erin pouted, then said, "Since you're okay, I'll go, so I don't have to be bullied by you here." ”
"Hehe, while Sister Vera and Little Innie are away, I can finally bully you again today, haha!" Regna said with a smile.
"Humph!" Erin finished her coffee and turned to leave.
"Erin. Ragner suddenly called out to the half-elves who had already walked to the door.
"What's the matter?"
"You haven't seen Anne at all, and why do you have so much confidence in her?" asked Regner.
Erin thought for a moment, and then showed a bright smile: "Because I have confidence in Brother Regner, how can the girl you fancy be so ordinary?
Regner was stunned, and then laughed too: "You're right, every time you make me optimistic and positive, thank you this time." Also, can you come back to me...... It's really good. ”
Erin smiled a little sheepishly, then turned to leave.
