Chapter 13: So I'm Friends with Him
"But even if I have these abilities, it is not unlimited, it can be said that without the spirit shadow of the master, the strength is actually very weak, so it was difficult for me to protect Arthur at that time to prevent him from being burned to death, it was beyond my ability, I could only hold on for a short while, if I hadn't made a contract with Arthur in time, I would have disappeared with the death of the cedar tree, and Arthur would ......"
Witt said "um": "That kid is rarely so reckless, probably because you are special." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Naine smiled embarrassedly, then turned her gaze back to the ground, "I just hope everyone is okay, Toba Town is okay, I don't want to cause trouble to everyone, and I don't want anyone to die." I don't understand Arthur, I don't understand why he is attached to me, like he said, I ...... It's not powerful at all, I'm weak as a spirit shadow, and I'm ...... when I'm alive Whether it is medicine or medical treatment, it is not as good as father and mother. Is this really useful for me? I'm not very confident...... Apparently it exists to devour Arthur's life, and if it doesn't work for him, I'll ......"
"You're overthinking. Interrupting the girl's deeper and deeper words, Werther gently stroked the top of the girl's head, and he thought that sure enough, whether it had existed for hundreds of years or as a spirit shadow, Nayin was actually a little sister.
"Arthur won't do things without making up his mind, and he won't regret doing them, he's the kind of person he is. The same is true for our journey. Giving up a comfortable life and leaving his beloved family, Arthur knew what he wanted, what he pursued, and what he deserved to do, so he could walk firmly. You too, he thinks you're worth his reduced lifespan, so since you believe in him, believe in yourself. ”
Nayin originally wanted to comfort Werther, who was worried about Arthur, as a doctor, but she didn't expect to be comforted by Werther. She felt a little relieved, and when she looked up again, she unconsciously showed a bright smile.
"Well, you're right, thank you, Werther, I've got to work hard!"
They rested under the trees and sat together quite naturally.
"Arthur said you were his only friend. Belch...... I hope you don't mind, I'm a little curious about how you met in the first place. ”
"Ha, let's say it's fate, maybe because Arthur is a contractor, his mother doesn't allow him to contact the people in the village, so it's pure accident that he met him. When I was young, I accidentally fell into a trap, ah, it was an ordinary pit. Werther said, gesturing with his hand to the size of the hole.
"It's not life-threatening, but I don't want to wait for my father to come to me, it's embarrassing, haha...... So I tried to climb up, but I climbed and fell once, and hey, it hurt me so much that I felt like my bones were going to break. ”
Werther subconsciously touched his shoulders and kneaded them slowly in his hands, as if the pain at that time remained and stored in his body with his memory.
"Aside from the pain of the fall and the mud, my efforts were useless. Just as I was getting angry and yelling, suddenly a little head poked out and looked down at me from the hole above, yes, the owner of the little head was Arthur. I thought he was a child from the village, so I lied to him and told him that I had come down on my own initiative and didn't need his help. ”
Seeing Nain's confused expression, Witt explained: "Ah, I was angry at that time, angry at myself stupid, it's a ...... It's the same as being willful, and the attitude is not good. The guy didn't get angry and left without saying anything. After a while, it started to rain, it was very heavy and very rapid, and there was more and more water in the pit, and I didn't know how to swim at that time, well, naturally...... It's dangerous. At that time, I choked on a lot of water, and I really thought I was going to die, but just when I was already desperate, suddenly a tree vine hung down, and I instinctively grabbed it, and then I dragged it out with all my might, and I was saved. ”
Naine seemed to see the extremely tense scene, her chestnut eyes were wide open, her pink and soft lips were slightly open, and one hand was subconsciously placed on her chest, after hearing Werther say that he was saved, Naine finally exhaled the breath that hung in her heart. After a moment, she asked, "Is it Arthur?"
Werther tilted his head slightly against the trunk of the tree, the corners of his mouth quietly curved, and continued to narrate: "I looked around in a frightened state, there was no one at all, the end of the vine was on the tree, as if it had been washed into a trap by the rain, and there was no trace of man-made, I thought it was my own good luck, it was God who saved me." Although I decided to do so according to my own wishes, I couldn't let go of this matter in my heart. A few days passed, and the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, so I simply went back to the trap to take a closer look, and when I calmed down, I saw that it was impossible for the vine to slip into the trap by itself. At that time, I had a vague feeling in my heart that this must have something to do with the little ghost who was watching from the probe, so I wandered around every day and waited, hoping to see him again. Alas, it was not easy, and it took almost a month to finally see it. ”
"Werther is so patient. Naine tilted her head and smiled.
"Ha, after all, it's a life-saving benefactor, and it's a life-saving benefactor who is deliberately hidden. ”
"That'...... He confessed?"
Thinking of the scene at that time, Werther hummed helplessly: "Admit something, he will run away when he sees me." ”
"Huh?" Naine's big eyes blinked.
"I was stunned at first, and then I was angry, and the more angry I was, the more I vowed to catch him, so I chased him desperately. ”
Nayin's hand subconsciously raised to his lips: "Eh...... What an unexpected unfolding......"
"Compared with my peers in the village, my skills are good, and I have always been the first, but I didn't expect ......"
Hearing the result, Naine tilted his head and smiled again: "Arthur is not a member of the village." ”
Werther winked at Nayin, thanked her for her gentleness, and continued, "I still wandered around there every day and waited, and he still ran away when he saw me, and it dragged on for nearly a month, and he finally stopped running. ”
Nayin's palms pressed slowly and silently against his chest: "It's Werther's patience that wins." ”
"I later learned that it was his mother who forbade him from having contact with the people in the village, so he would run away. And then Arthur he ...... In fact, he was very lonely, and the days I chased him were the first time he had contact with someone other than his mother, and he said that he was shocked and scared, and faintly happy and expectant. Alas...... Seeing that kid's lonely appearance, I was not angry at all, and two months of waiting to catch up was nothing. It seems that since then, it has been difficult for me to be angry with him, and I am always used to him, alas, probably this is fate, bad fate, bad fate. ”
Nayin laughed, she painted in her mind that Little Witt was angry and helpless by Little Arthur, and it was cute to think about it.
"I asked him if he had saved me, and at first he was playing stupid, and then he acquiesced. ”
"Why don't you want to admit it? It's a good thing to save people. ”
"yes, I asked him too, and he said he knew I didn't want to be saved. ”
"Huh?" Naine was surprised.
"Hmm...... I don't understand how he reads my thoughts, I just think he's special, after all, it's hard for ordinary people to do it. ”
Naine nodded: "It should be ...... Very, very little. ”
"Well, so I became friends with him. ”
"I see. ”
Werther told Nayin many interesting stories about him and Arthur, and the warm afternoon sun flowed through the laughter one after another. Witt shared what he knew about Arthur with this special shadow. As he himself said, because he believed in Arthur, he believed in Nain.
