Volume 1: The Poem of Departure Chapter 24: Love
As a result, life did not respond to his expectations.
Del Cora rummaged through her path, found all the pits she had dug out, and explored her mental power to the limit, but she could never find a second mermaid skeleton. Later, Assas and Satya also joined the search, and the three of them searched for more than four hours, from noon to evening, but finally had no choice but to give up.
"This shouldn't be......" Delkora sat down on the ground in disbelief, the mermaid skeleton still being manipulated by him, "there can't be a silver-tier merfolk warrior out of thin air, right?" Ashas, don't you really remember any books mentioning the relationship between the Sunset Mountains and the Kraken?"
"I'm sure that in any of the Kraken-related history books I've read doesn't mention the term 'Sunset Mountains,' or even the Great Plains. Assas was also helpless, "Because the Kraken really has nothing to do with the Great Plains, and the history of their entire race is confined to the forests in the eastern part of the Lanman Continent - except for the part that is soaked in the sea. β
"I don't want to accept this reality. Del Cora sighed deeply, "I feel the frustration. It's so uncomfortable. β
"No way, if the lost things are so easy to unearth, then there are no secrets in this world. It's nothing, Del Kora," Satya comforted him from the sidelines, "you've done your best. β
This incident seems to have really dealt a certain blow to Del Kora. The next day, he was no longer in high spirits experimenting with skeleton assemblers and assembling his own army of the undead, and it was obvious that he was not in high spirits during the occasional conversation. At this ageβfourteenβa teenager is in a moody time, sometimes a simple thing can make them happy for a long time, and the occasional setback can make them lose a whole day. Just like the weather in June, it's always cloudy and unpredictable.
But Del Kora's unhappy look still fell into Satya's eyes. After lunch the next day, Assas began to hone his weapon, and just as Delkora was preparing for his routine meditation practice, Satya stopped him.
"Would you like to go for a walk together?" said Satya, holding out her hand to him.
β...... I can't ask for it. There's no reason for Del Cora to disagree.
The camp was camped on the edge of a small lake. There are not many trees around the lake, and the view is very open. The two walked forward side by side, and for a long time, neither of them spoke.
The breeze blows, bringing up the slight waves of the lake. The afternoon sun shines on the lake, dyeing the waves a fine gold. Occasionally, a fish jumped out of the water, and a group of deer grazing on the other side of the lake, and when they noticed the two, they did not immediately run away, but stood there and watched curiously.
"They can see that we have no ill intentions. Satya smiled faintly. She enjoyed the feeling of peace.
"Do you want to take one back to raise?" Delkora looked at her, her gaze resting on her warm smile, "It's not a problem. β
"That's a good idea, but let's wait until we get back, Lance doesn't think there's going to be a place for us to keep fawn. Satya thought for a moment, but rejected the tempting suggestion, "Were you looking at me just now?"
"As always. Del Cola praised sincerely.
"It's a clever answer, you should just compliment me on my beauty, so I'll be happy. Satya said, untying her ponytail and letting her supple hair fall over her shoulders, "Comb my hair." β
Delkora gladly accepted the order.
At the top of his spatial ring, next to the four staffs, there was a perennial storage of a set of cosmetics - a girl who loved beauty had said that if something went wrong with the part of her shadow space, she would always be able to find a replacement.
But Del Cola had never seen that part.
Satya sat on the floor, her legs straight, and Delcora half-knelt behind her, took out the spotless dressing case, and she leaned gently on Delcora's knees.
"That's it, then?"
She looked up at Del Cora, her eyes like twinkling stars.
"I'm going to be tired, I'm just a weak magician. Delkora smiled and grumbled, but still grabbed Satya's hair and combed it carefully through the strands.
Satya's hair is of good quality, and the long hair that slides down the teeth of the comb is like a flax-colored stream. He gently grabbed a wisp and let it slip from his palm, bringing with him a pleasant scent.
Satya's hair is neat.
But he still took the trouble to comb it over and over again until his hands were covered with the scent that belonged to Satya.
"You were leaving, so why didn't you call me. Satya narrowed her eyes and asked softly, "Or do you know I'm going to catch up, so you don't care?"
"Maybe I thought so," Del Cola smiled, "or maybe it's a big shy boy who doesn't know how to invite you." β
"Really, you're not a little shy right now. Satya thought for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh again, "Maybe that boy understood this as elopement." What a cute boy. β
"Ah...... Everybody has good fantasies," Delkora's cheeks flushed slightly, "but I didn't make up my mind. I ran away from the choice. β
"I was waiting for your invitation, but you just left. Satya sighed, "If it were any other girl, would they follow you like this and secretly protect you for two months? β
"I don't know, I don't know what other girls should be like. Delcora looked down and met Satya's gaze, "You know, for as long as I can remember, I've had you in my life. β
"It's really not a good story, it's clear that there are fathers and mothers," Satya deliberately interrupted, but her eyes involuntarily shifted away, "...... Actually, aren't you the only one in my life? β
"But I don't even know if I meet your requirements," Delcora continued to comb her hair carefully, "am I up to that standard?"
"Hmph, it's early. Satya rolled her eyes. Tilting his head to the side, "And you're only fourteen." β
"It's not me, it's us - you're two months younger than me. Delcora sighed in disappointment, "I even feel like I'm going to be alone for the rest of my life...... I can't live up to the demands of my beloved...... I didn't even know what it was. β
"Then I'll be alone with you until you meet that requirement. Satya smiled narrowly, "I'll wait for you." β
"That must be a perverted request......," Del Cola shrugged, "Am I the most miserable man in the world?"
"No, at least you still have me. β
"Ah...... Then I must be the happiest. β
"You're pompous, Del Kora!"
After a moment of silence, Satya moved, changed to a more comfortable position, and asked softly, "Are you in a better mood?"
"It's been good since just now. Delcora's movements paused, "I was just a little frustrated before...... You know, I didn't have any setbacks growing up. β
"I thought you could extricate yourself. β
"I know a lot of things, but I can only use them to persuade others. I still can't do anything about my own depressed mood. Delkora smiled, "But, thank you, dear, I'm much better now." β
"Don't quietly change your name β except this time, though. Satya stretched and lay on the grass on Del Kora's knees. Delkora sat beside her, slowly putting away the dressing case.
"Let's not keep Assas waiting too long, he'll be worried," Satya turned to look at Del Cola, "but I'm a little tired...... Carry me, Del Kora. β
She stretched out her arms toward Del Cora.
"You may be overestimating the strength of a magician, my dear," Del Cora sighed, but still crouched down and allowed Satya to put her weight on him, "but a boy would never refuse at such a time...... Oh, you're getting heavier, Satya!"
"Bell!"
Satya's fist landed mercilessly on top of his head.
β...... Please forgive me, Satya, you just didn't hear anything. β
"Did you just say something?"
"No, my dear, I'm just saying...... Oh, you're so beautiful, you're simply the most perfect woman I've ever met, really. β
"I'll interpret this as a white lie. β
"This is the truth, trust me. β
Del Cora walked forward with some difficulty. Satya smirked and pressed her face against his back.
"Del Kora, I am now your maid, you know, you must protect me, for the sake of your noble demeanor. β
"I don't like the word 'maid,' and I'd prefer to be 'fiancΓ©e' if I could," Del Cora said, "after all, no man has to be trained by his own maid, but a boy who is in love can do anything for his lover......"
"Don't you like it?"
"No one likes boring workouts and meditations, but I'm still holding on, Satya," Del Cola's gaze was still clear, "I guess I don't like training, I just want to be with you, right?"
"You're not fit to say that, Del Kora, you don't look like a merry nobleman. β
Satya teased lightly, her chin resting lightly on one of Delcora's shoulders.
"I don't understand what love is. She whispered, "I only have you in my life." β
"Me too, don't I?" Delcora put her hands behind her back and tightened Satya's back, "I just can't imagine life without you. β
"Me too...... My dear. β
