Chapter Eighty-Eight: Orange Wind
This day is special, and Eddie also gave Orange Wind a little vacation - let her move freely at this time, and take something delicious to see at the banquet;
But Eddie felt that what he could take out in this small place was still relatively limited: nothing more than some stews, barbecues, and some more common fish and shrimp, or those creamy soups, mushroom soups, tortillas, etc., which Eddie was not very accustomed to;
Orange Wind was quite interested in these things, and Orange Wind walked from table to table, picking the freshest parts and running, and given the festive atmosphere—and Orange Wind's status, everyone almost just walked away.
It stands to reason that for such an opportunity to eat a lot, Orange Wind should be happy to narrow his eyes into a slit;
But Add could see that she wasn't actually very happy—the latter was still looking at Eddie at every turn, and if she accidentally aimed at it, she would look away "without a trace", pretending that her eyes were just passing Eddie;
There's definitely something on this girl's mind...... Add saw through it at a glance;
She made her way from table to table just to be as distracting as possible – but apparently unsuccessful.
As one of his most powerful subordinates, this kind of thing placement will have a great impact on the formulation of the plan. Add felt like he had to hurry up and talk to her.
Moreover, his mind seems to be disturbed, not due to the anomaly of the orange wind, but an inexplicable ......
Sourness?
Blame...... The more Eddie thought about it, the more he felt like he had to talk.
At this moment, the banquet was in full swing, and Eddie felt that he would be fine even if he was away for a while.
Nightstar had already returned to her room—she wasn't very good at dealing with the bustling market in the early morning, and she needed a break from using too much magic during the day;
The Grey-Fisted Old Man is also on vacation, and he is so happy with Add's transformation that he is now having a great deal of wine with the guild leaders in several towns...... Don't bother him.
"Orange Wind. Add walked over to Orange Wind and whispered, "You don't seem right, huh?"
"No, it's nothing!" Orange Wind hurriedly waved his right hand - and at the same time wiped the oil stains on his face with the back of his left hand, "Young Master, do you have any orders?"
"I have a feeling you have something on your mind. Add stared into Orange Wind's eyes, which made the latter's face turn red as quickly as a crab in a steamer, "It's enough to affect my plans." You have to be in good shape to serve me better, understand?"
"I ...... I know!" Orange Wind nodded quickly, his earnest look rather cute—but Add knew the problem wasn't solved at all;
[Sensing a change in the world line, causal point +5.] 】
...... Why is it that when I say it so bluntly, she still makes up for it? Eddie complained inwardly;
Let's hurry up and solve the problem, Eddie sighed inwardly.
"I'm going out right now to get some air, it's too crowded here. Eddie said as he raised his leg and walked out of the hall, "If there's anything you want to say, just follow along." ”
"This ...... How embarrassing is this......" Orange Wind whispered—but it didn't stop.
Leaving the parlor is leaving the castle, and on both sides of the road in front of the castle, drunken soldiers are having fun, talking about girls, families, and the future;
It's still too lively here. Add took two turns with Orange Wind and went around to the back of the castle;
"Well, no one can hear me here. Add looked around—the lights had gone out in the nearby houses, and the soldiers were laughing and talking;
Eddie stood there casually leaning against the wall, a cool breeze blowing, the unique sense of comfort, made Eddie feel that this place was no worse than the quiet Lake Pavilion;
Of course, there are still things that should be calculated, such as what Orange Wind will say......
"Hmm...... Young master, I, I feel ......" Orange Wind, who has always been clever and eloquent, suddenly stumbled a little when he spoke;
...... What was she going to say? How could this unfold be like before confession? Eddie's heart was moving rapidly, but on the surface it was unwavering;
"I feel...... I didn't seem to be helping much today. The sound of the orange wind became thinner and thinner, and at last it was almost like the rustle of branches and leaves in the wind: "This is me...... Will the young master be dissatisfied?"
"You've helped a lot in trying to persuade those Black Mud soldiers to surrender. Eddie felt a little wrong, "Why do you think this way?"
"However, my words are really useless compared to Miss Nightstar, who uses a lot of magic, and Grey Wrist, who risks her life to fight with the Baron......" Orange Wind buried his head lower, "...... At that point, they would have surrendered without my persuasion, right?"
"Your mind is delicate, but this self-doubt of yours is a disdain for my plan. Eddie reached out and rubbed Orange Wind's hair a little harder, "Every bit counts in my plan. ”
"But, but......" Orange Wind's tone had a slight cry in it, "do you feel like me...... It didn't work......"
Wait a minute, isn't it good to touch your head and kill? Eddie felt that his hand just now seemed to have the opposite effect;
"Why are you so obsessed with 'usefulness'?" Eddie's tone was a little more serious, "even if I don't need you next time......"
"Woo!" Orange Wind's tears flowed down at once;
Add felt a little flustered.
According to Eddie's life creed, a successful man is only capable of making a woman cry in one place, and that is-
......
at the wedding.
Of course, Eddie also has a way to deal with this emergency;
"Tell me about it, I'll listen. Eddie patted the orange limelight and waited patiently;
"It's always been ...... That's what my father taught me. Orange Wind sobbed, "Useless things, you have to throw away ......"
Orange Wind intermittently tells Add about her life before she met Eddie;
Orange Wind's mother died when she was young, her father was an alcoholic and had no skills to make money, he often borrowed money from neighbors to buy alcohol, but never paid it back, and he couldn't stand the urging to move away;
In the process of relocation, it is natural to throw away many inconvenient things, and whenever Little Orange Wind asks "why throw them away", he will only get a vicious sentence:
"If it's useless, throw it away!"
And then make up for it -
"If you're useless, be the same as them!"
Orange Wind knows that his meaning to his father is to be able to sing and make money;
Her father only cares about soliciting passing guests and collecting money, but the money he gets is rarely spent on Little Orange Wind.
If you can't make money......
On the way to migrate, Orange Wind often sees the dry bones of animals and even the remains of humans;
At night, in the cold wind, there is only one figure, and no one cares.
If they were abandoned, would they be like them?
"I ...... I will eat less in the future, so, young master, ...... "Orange Wind has never dared to raise his head,
"Can you not abandon me......
