Chapter 13: Clues
"........... it seems that we will have to eat at least half a month's of grass next month. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
paid a terrible price, temporarily erased the old accounts, and the safe Rorschach wanted to cry without tears.
After calculating the living expenses, Rorschach stared at the perpetrator in front of him with complaining eyes.
"That's impossible......... The Gray Ti Minotaur gang has long put the grass bales on the lawn of the school park and the playground, and their forage dishes are the favorite of vegetarian students, and they are sold by share, and they have to be booked a week in advance. ā
The perpetrator, Su Nana, hiccuped, squinting at the slightest hint of reminiscing about the dragon steak meal just now.
Eating a big meal is not the point, eating the big meal that is the big meal that is the point.
She had waited for this day for too long, and finally got what she wanted, so she was naturally in a good mood.
happily picked his teeth with a toothpick, and then pointed out the flaws in Rorschach's livelihood plan........ Rorschach, you can't eat at all!"
Rorschach wanted to cry more and more without tears, and even the lawn had been contracted these years, and he wanted to eat grass and get money.
"How much is a meal?"
"This number. ā
"Brazen?"
"Golden. ā
Counting the gold coins represented by the gestures made by Sunana, Rorschach looked helplessly at the sky.
This world is really enough, I can't even afford to eat grass, can I apply for extradition back to China, at least the grass of the earth can be eaten for free.
"........ is there food here that is cheaper than grass, I don't pick. ā
"Lower? That's probably just a feast of carrion for the undead, which helps digest expired garbage and gives you money....... but you'll need a ghoul's stomach pouch, or you'll really have a ghoul's digestive system after eating it. I'm not kidding, there was once an unlucky guy who contracted the plague of the dead. ā
Well, eating a ghost's food will really become a ghost, enough jokes, forget it, the cost of living is indeed a little tight, and if you don't open a source of money, you have to prepare for a part-time job.
"I hope there is no age limit for working here, and I don't disguise an alien's ID card. ā
Yes, this is not the first time Rorschach has worked part-time, and naturally it is not the first time that he has forged identity documents and parents' signatures.
What kind of work would use a minor who is only 16 years old?
There are still some reasons for this, and it starts from the fact that the elders in the family are addicted to work and can't extricate themselves and have been missing for a long time.
Two years ago, I saw that Rorschach was able to take care of herself, her adoptive mother also left a letter and disappeared, and at the same time, her sister also went to school far away, and she really became alone.
Living expenses are still enough, but if you want to buy things you like, such as novels, comics, magazines, houseware, etc., such as krypton gold when playing games, then you have to figure it out yourself.
A distant uncle took care of himself and introduced him to a job that suited him well, which not only allowed him to earn enough living expenses, but also to receive early training in life practice.
Originally, he was a "rookie who went through the back door", and this was the effort that made the seniors in the workplace recognize him a little bit, and began to give him some single-handed jobs.
As I mentioned it a little before, and everyone may have guessed it, Rorschach's way to make a living is to earn some manuscript fees by doing odd jobs for a game magazine that is not well-known and writing some tofu blocks.
But due to his lack of life experience, he can only write game reviews, SF short fantasy novels, etc., and is always spit out by the editors and readers' investigation letters, "It's too fake", "The characters' feelings are a mess, don't you have any friends with the author?", "The moves and lines of the super middle two, I feel ashamed when I look at it, author, do you dare to read it yourself?".
As a result, he vomited on the side
"I'm really sorry I don't have friends, but everyone spends time in the editorial office on holidays and weekends, it seems that everyone is about the same, no, I'm still young and saved, you older dead houses will continue the FFF group."
Then because he told the truth, he was hunted down by his seniors with posters and magazine bindings.......
I've been working for a full year in that job, and I've accumulated a lot, but I'm making progress...... Ahem, Rorschach is still a newbie and a junior high school student who has never been in a relationship, so it's better not to expect too much.
It's a recent one.,Because I'm in a hurry.,Write about the messy adventures I heard from my adoptive mother.ć
The crazy prince's adventure biography, because of the authenticity of the table, the plot is surprising, especially the protagonist Roland is more willful and full of joy, very well received, as a result, I am very happy to receive a lot of enthusiastic letters from readers, but I am also secretly praying, don't let my adoptive mother see it, otherwise I probably won't end well....... after all, I don't seem to be happy with the protagonist's inexplicable peach blossom luck, and I hacked the protagonist a lot.
He had just made some progress in his work, and he was recognized by his seniors, and Rorschach even hesitated to drop out of school and enter the work early.
After all, that job doesn't seem to require much education.
ā...... Luo Li, I think writing something and messing around with them is my happiest day, I want to write for the rest of my life, or I'd better drop out of school early. It feels like it's just a waste of time to keep reading. ā
As a result, he just said what he thought, and his sister angrily wrote to reprimand him:
"I don't want my brother to become one of those otaku wastes in the editorial department, if my brother dares to drop out of school, I will tell Abba that I will not do it, and let him arrest you back to inherit the family business. āć
And even though he was very depressed by the map cannon on the phone, the seniors who brought him into the industry objected to his idea, saying:
"There is no real life experience, no matter how brilliant your imagination is, it lacks some real color, even if it can attract attention for a short time, savoring it is like chewed gum, becoming more and more tasteless, you are still young, your thoughts and hobbies are not fixed, or read more books and accumulate more. Don't be afraid to waste time when you're young, even if you're busy and go astray, you can still become an accumulation of future creations. āć
Looking at this chubby senior, he also knew that the other party was really good to him, but when he thought of learning those things that he might not use for a lifetime in a boring classroom, Rorschach felt super unmotivated.
But her sister won't let herself drop out of school, so Rorschach can only "continue to waste time".
But Sunana's opinion is not wrong, from the beginning Rorschach was not a diligent and hard-working scholar, and he would never work hard when he could be lazy.
He has already thought about his future, even if he studies, it is enough to find an ordinary high school, and he can focus on writing.
When it comes to college, when it comes to the college entrance examination, casually apply to the Chinese department and journalism department of a second-rate university, and the course is easy to continue to herd sheep, and Luo Li will not say anything at that time.
But everything, all the hopes and dreams for the future, and the most concerned distant relatives, were shattered by the cold black letter.
Now, there is no point in saying that.
"........ must find out the truth. But let's start by getting used to the environment. ā
Looking at Sunana, who was about to fly with pleasure in front of her, Rorschach smiled.
Rorschach was not stupid, he saw a lot of things, but he didn't say it.
No matter what the reason is, others have traveled thousands of miles to escort and protect you, this favor is really not light, not to mention the secret escort for so many years.
He was very grateful to her, how could he care about the money for this treat.
"In this way, many accidents in the past can be explained, such as looking back and always seeing the shadow of Sunana, you can vaguely feel the sight there, I thought she took a fancy to me, and ran over and said that I wouldn't like a violent woman and then be beaten half to death........ cough cough, forget about the black history, it seems that whether it is me or Luo Li does owe her a love. ā
Treat or something, although a little forced by the situation, a little bit of nonsense, but willing to be slaughtered, there is still a little bit of debt, and some want to make up for it.
However, you can't lose in words.
"Can't you be merciful? I have no living expenses for half a year. ā
"Blame me, I can't eat you to death even if I eat alone, things have developed to this point, it's all your death. ā
It makes so much sense that Rorschach is completely speechless as to how to break it.
Sunana was indeed just retaliating, and had no intention of killing them all.
The situation has developed to the point where Rorschach has to consider working to make money, but it's not that Sunana really has the ability to belly destroy, and even her appetite is still small.
It's not that the price of that store is so high that one meal can eat half a year's living expenses, in a sense, this is really to blame Rorschach's death.
Initially, it was the two who met Kars, a classmate with whom they had a good relationship, and another orc classmate on the way.
"Let's go eat Baja together, I'm in for a treat. ā
It's not a big deal to have only one, in fact, it's not a big deal, but Rorschach........s mouth is afraid of himself.
He invited passers-by and classmates.
"It's inconvenient, how can it be, classmates are fate, let's go eat together, I'll treat you." Let's come along. ā
A hearty smile makes the slightly polite invitation more sincere, and Rorschach is trying to make a good impression on his new classmates.
As for whether this invitation is real......... You see a new classmate who has only met you a few times politely invites you to dinner, and says how many people will come together, will you really go?
In Rorschach's expectations, the other party should have thanked each other for the invitation and passed each other.
Even if he did come to meet the invitation, it would be harmless to spend a little money, but Rorschach, who was accustomed to being polite, did not think about cultural differences.
Yes, cultural differences, very vague concepts, but they are real.
The same words, the same actions, in different places, but not the same meaning.
In the university of the earth, it is normal for students to encounter politeness on the way to eat, "come together" is often a polite invitation, and the invitees who have a good idea will either refuse, or will take the initiative to propose the AA system, only if they are acquainted with each other, they will really eat big, but here.......
"How embarrassing is this, such an expensive restaurant........ who said I won't come? I'll come! There are fools who invite diners and eat aristocratic orders! If I don't come, I won't really be a fool." ā
Sorry, there is no such word in Ash's lingua franca, there is only the unjust head of the world who takes the initiative to treat, and .........
"Hey, you have an appointment, tell them to come along. ā
The more fatal problem appeared in Rorschach's last mouth, and Sunana didn't stop it.
"How embarrassing is that......... Everyone come to eat Baha, there is a big treat. ā
Well, I have a secret, I only told one person, and then it was spread ten, ten and hundred, and it was naturally known to the whole country.
Even if the human classmates come, the amount of food is limited, and the elven classmates are even more economical, although the dwarves are a little expensive, the wine money is barely acceptable, the mountain giant, what are you going to cook?
Headless Horseman, you're here too? You can eat without a head? Oh, the shop here also has a special meal of necromantic energy, and I've seen it for a long time, but is this price an extra zero.
Due to the previous freshman written exam, Rorschach was unexpectedly upset, which made him famous among the freshmen, and at the same time, he also made that person kill in the gambling game.
There are winners, and naturally there are losers.
Many classmates' living expenses have been hit hard, and at this time, what is the psychological pressure........ some people even think that Rorschach wants to take the initiative to make up for it.
"What a nice man, give me back the money in another way. ā
In the end, you called me, I called him, and the rumors of the invitation became more and more strange, and if you don't come to eat big hates, you won't give me face for Rorschach.......
"It's all here, why are they all here, wait, how can there be an out-of-town job. ā
More than half of Rorschach's Class D came, and several people came from Class C next door, and .......
"I haven't met before, just eat and drink, and I can endure it when I call me a big man behind my back, and when I toast, I say that I wish the generous big head a long life? ā
That meal, from lunch to dinner, from dinner to supper, from Western food to Chinese food, from dinner to refreshments, eating earth-shattering ghosts, eating restaurants closed, eating Rorschach teary-eyed.
But when he really walked out of the door, his wallet was half empty, and at the same time, he watched his drunken classmates walk in front of him, strolling through the streets, and at the same time making up his mind not to be polite in the future, Rorschach's mood was unexpectedly good.
In addition to unloading the big stone in his heart, knowing that Suna is on his side, and his safety is unexpectedly guaranteed, more than that, he has obtained some information that he wants to know.
"Finally there is news from Luo Li. ā
No matter what world it is, when communicating and inquiring about information, the wine table is always the best choice, a few glasses of yellow soup in the stomach, the stranger with the original hateful face will become pleasing to the eye, and between the noise of the glass, a lot of inner words will be inexplicably taken out.
And what Rorschach wants is not a great secret, but his goal here.
So, from the very beginning he struggled to toast someone.
"That, Sister Na, since I've got a treat, ....... news from Luo Li"
When he found out that the Star Riding Academy was not the academy that Luo Li attended, Rorschach did not need to ask his classmates and mentors for news.
But this time, Sunana obviously knew something, how could Rorschach miss it........ especially because of Rorschach's understanding of her, and if she missed this time, she would not be able to ask for another treat.
Maybe it was because he saw Rorschach's "sincerity", or maybe he had predicted that his wallet was about to burst, and Sunana was very honest this time.
"I don't know very well about Luo Li's affairs, and you also know that my relationship with her has always been very ordinary. However, I don't know why you came to the Riding Academy, which was not our school at the time. ā
"So where was she? Didn't you go to the same school as her? ā
"You're going to her school......... If it's difficult for others, but if it's you, you can give it a try. ā
"Can you lead the way?"
"Of course, I still have the school uniform from the past, I can borrow it if you want to wear it. It should be a good fit for you. ā
And soon, Rorschach understood the malice in the joke.
"This ......... Isn't this a nun's dress?"
"Nonsense, a girls' school with a church background, a college specializing in the training of priests, the uniform, of course, is a nun uniform.
The door of the Rosarius Female Priest's College was locked in front of Rorschach, and Rorschach shivered as she looked at the high city gate and the female students who were pointing at her.
Did Rorschach finally go in? Of course not, as the main character, he still has a discipline, at least for now...... Believe it or not, at least I do.
