If, I mean if, if his soul could come back...... Should...... You're going to be happy, right?
And...... How to say it.
Although Lacey's soul has disappeared in the Chamber of Secrets, I always have a strange feeling...... It felt as if I could still see Lacey.
And also...... Before parting, little Luca finally said to me uncertainly, "Sister Sakura, is that really the soul of Brother Reis?" Without waiting for me to answer, she added, "Luca I always find it a little strange, and Elise told Luca 'that doesn't look like a soul'!" ”
It's not like, it's not like it.
Does it mean that I can still see Lacey as I feel? Even if it's his soul?
Looking forward to it.
Well, let's make some of his favorite schnitzel for dinner today, right? Buy some more real wine, ...... And then...... And then get drunk in his room?
To be honest, since the last time I got drunk in Kesir, I've kind of liked that feeling, the dreamy feeling of being drunk and confused, and being able to forget everything......
Giggle! While walking home happily, I was a little flustered and greeted my aunts and uncles in the town. It feels good to be back in town!
Everyone is still so good to me, and a lot of ingredients are sent directly to me! It doesn't cost you anything! Everyone said so enthusiastically, but there were so many ......!
Woo...... I can't eat it all by myself! And, and I was going to go home for one night and leave! Where did I think that the aunts would send so much, and they were all so enthusiastic. People can't thank them at all...... Alas.
Alas, if only someone could accompany me tonight.
Even if it's that perverted Asa in ......
Hey? Is that?
Approaching the door, I was surprised to see a familiar figure standing at the door.
A slender figure, dressed in a white robe that resembles a magician's robes. , a slightly pale face with a sunny smile at all times, and those eyes that are a little sloppy although they are radiant.
"Division...... Father? Why are you here? I asked, dumbfounded.
"Oh? Is it Miss Sakura? I said why did the footsteps sound so familiar," Bai Suiyun turned around to my voice and said with a slight reproach, "Didn't you say don't call me Master?" ”
"Ahh Forgot! I laughed and stuck out my tongue and said something else. That...... Bai Gongzi, why are you standing here? You're not" (Actually, he's really my master anyway...... It's just that Bai Gongzi has never admitted it)
"Oh," he still smiled, smiling like sun. "I'm just traveling through here! Suddenly I smelled a nostalgic aroma, so I stopped here, but Miss Sakura, why are you here? ”
"Huh? I? This is my home! So what's the aroma? "I sniffed with my nose curiously, nothing?
"Oh! What a coincidence! Bai Suiyun smiled happily, "I didn't expect this to be Miss Sakura's home." Ha! I was just thinking about how to disturb this host! What a stroke of luck in the next! ”
"It's fate!" I laughed too. "People have been traveling outside, and they just came home today!"
"Haha! What a coincidence! Bai Suiyun looked even happier, "Then, can you please go in and sit down?" ”……
Kindness...... Oriental people drink tea...... You don't need sugar, do you? Yes! By the way, remember that milk is not needed either.
Woo! Is it just tea?
I hesitated to look at the black tea that had just been brewed with hot water in the tray without adding anything, and said bitterly!
…… But it's also very fragrant.
Now the end?
Looking up at the courtyard, Bai Gongzi stood there motionless.
Still so laid-back, with a smile as warm as the sun. Slightly raised his chin, he enjoyed his happy expression.
No matter! Anyway, I heard that Oriental people drink clear tea! If Bai Gongzi doesn't like it. Wouldn't it be nice for someone to change another glass?
He's my master! It's not an outsider's talk! He wouldn't be angry even if I made a small mistake, would he?
That......
"Bai Gongzi, please drink tea!" I cautiously held the teacup to him.
"Huh? I'm sorry, I'm stunned," Bai Suiyun bowed to me gracefully to thank me, then took the teacup and gently put it to his lips, "Oh! It's tea, Miss Sakura, you're so hearted! It's delicious! ”
Call! I breathed a sigh of relief, and my heart that had been hanging was finally relaxed.
To be honest, in the face of the master who has always been polite, people are still a little nervous. Originally, it was only a week to learn Taoism from him, and he was busy learning Taoism that week, so he didn't have time to talk to him more about him, and everyone was in a hurry when they met several times after that...... In short, in the face of my Dao master, people still feel a little unfamiliar.
"Oh! Don't worry too much about it! It seems that Bai Gongzi noticed my embarrassment, "We are not strangers to each other, are we?" Of course, you also know your own bad faults, and it's hard to become casual in tone, so don't be too restrained! ”
“……”
"Really! In the next name, Suiyun, the personality is also very casual! Do you remember that jerk Mr. Shanan? He's joking very casually, if you like it, of course, you can ......" Bai Suiyun suddenly made a strange expression, "Please also Miss Sakura, you'd better not be as embarrassed as Xia Nan!" ”
"Bastard Xia Nan doesn't need to add 'sir'!" Since Bai Gongzi said so, I simply mustered up the courage to respond.
"This ......" Bai Suiyun grimaced with a smile, "This is a habit, and it's hard to get rid of!" Miss Sakura, you should be a 'sir' and a jerk. ”
"Bastard bastard Shanan?! Giggle! ”
It wasn't funny, but we laughed with each other in a relaxed mood.
"That. Bai Gongzi, you said that you don't have to be too restrained, then you are welcome! ”
"Of course. Miss Sakura, don't forget that you're the owner here! If there's any rudeness in the next place, just kick it out directly! ”
"Ugh! I won't do this, after all, you are someone's master! Kindness...... Kindness...... I just wanted to ask...... Do you like this plum blossom very much? ”
The reason why Bai Suiyun stopped at my door was because he smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms at home.
As soon as he entered the house, he couldn't wait to ask me to take him to the courtyard, and then without hesitation, he walked to the plum blossom so hurriedly that he forgot that his blind eyes were not very convenient to move, and he almost tripped over the stones in the courtyard.
"Of course!" Bai Gongzi smiled and turned his face sideways to the plum blossom again, "This is Bai Mei"
"White plum? It's not a plum blossom."
"It's the same, white plum is a variety of plum blossoms! Among all plum blossoms, I liked the floral fragrance of the white plum the most. ”
"Oh."
"And. I never thought I could smell the fragrance of white plum in the west of you," Bai Suiyun smiled and held up the white plum branch with his hand, and then stepped forward slightly. "Really, I haven't smelled the fragrance of white plums in my hometown for many years."
For years?
Oh! He meant coming to us from the East, right? I remember that it seemed to take two years to take a boat from the east to the west.
"Oh! No wonder Bai Gongzi you like it so much...... Why don't we pluck the flowers? I stretched out my hand to Bai Meihua as I proposed, "Take it off and dry it in the sun, and you can always take it with you, Bai Gongzi......"
"Don't!" Bai Suiyun suddenly shouted angrily. "Don't!" At the same time, both hands swing in a panic. Trying to stop me.
"Huh? No, no! I didn't pick it up! "I didn't expect Bai Suiyun to react so much, I was really startled, and hurriedly retracted the hand that had already touched the petals.
"Whew!" Bai Suiyun was obviously relieved, "That's good!" ”
“……”
"Ahh I'm sorry! Didn't scare you just now, did you? After being silent for a while, Bai Suiyun smiled to himself.
I nodded awkwardly. (Indeed, people never thought that the always gentle Bai Gongzi could suddenly be so angry)
“…… You were nodding your head just now, weren't you? ”
"Huh?! I'm sorry! "Only then did I remember that Bai Suiyun couldn't see anything, so I had to admit it again embarrassedly." Kindness...... I was shocked just now and said, "
"Hah! I'm sorry! I was thrilled just now. Bai Suiyun apologized again.
"Ah, nothing, nothing!" I hurriedly waved my hand (alas, Bai Gongzi pays too much attention to etiquette. It's annoying! "I don't know why, though"
"Flowers, after all, are still the best when they are alive, once they are plucked, they are nothing," Bai Suiyun explained very lonely, "I can't see, so I can notice the vitality of all things in nature, once the flowers leave the branches, they are no longer vibrant, and I can even hear the wailing of the flowers, which is the sound of water gradually losing in the veins of the petals, and the sound of the flowers dying...... It's really bad. ”
"Oh......" bowed his head in shame.
I have never thought about the life of flowers, and I have never felt the pain of flowers
Thinking about how I used to pick flowers and put them in the house to decorate, I suddenly felt that I was too good.
"Uh...... It seems to have stiffened the atmosphere again! Seeing that I didn't speak, Bai Suiyun smiled to himself again, "I'm sorry, picking flowers is a common thing, but it's just that I'm too sensitive, in fact, the servants below often use flowers for decoration!" ”
"Then you won't stop it?"
"It's nothing if everyone gets used to it, in fact, I've long been used to it, just because this white plum of yours is too hard, it's too rare"
"Rare?"
"Huh? You don't know? Bai Suiyun looked surprised.
"I don't know, I thought this was a very common thing."
"Then have you seen plum blossoms anywhere else on your continent?"
"No...... Right? But they haven't been to many places," I replied honestly, "and my mother just told me that this plum blossom came from the East, and said that this is not found in other parts of the mainland?" ”
"Of course not, otherwise I wouldn't be so curious, plum blossoms do come from our east, although its growing conditions are not very demanding, but it likes relatively moist sandy loam, it is difficult to grow on your dry continent, even if you can survive, it is difficult to bloom. As for the white plum in full bloom like yours, it can be considered a miracle! This white plum can bloom in such a foreign land, and it is reluctant to take it down. ”
