1. Bishop's autism
The sudden reversal of positions and the sudden change of situation like a storm in the days after leaving, these factors directly caused Nangong to be "driven back" by Fei Lili, and before Nangong even had a little time to breathe, the chief who seemed to particularly want to send the "unrelated person" away quickly sent Nangong on the plane home while hurrying.
Of course, this time with Nangong was not just Xixun who came with him, maybe he was worried about the safety of the machine spirits, and Fei Lili also handled the takeover procedures for Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai for Nangong, so that these two machine spirits finally had a legitimate reason to stay away from trouble. However, in comparison, these are all small things, and the "big thing" that Filily really stuffed to Nangong is obviously about "how to take care of the lost Archbishop Freya".
I don't know if it was because he was betrayed by the divine envoy, or because he was regarded as a "traitor", or for some other reason, in short, the calm and dignified archbishop that Nangong saw before is gone, and the current archbishop looks more like an infatuated girl who has been dumped. In addition to the behaviors necessary for life, there is only a little bit of behavior that is almost used to every day.
That's right, this is it...... Every day, habitual behaviors can make Nangong overwhelmed.
Because of the relationship that there was nowhere to go, Nangong had to arrange Freya at home. Even though she had prepared her hometown-style food, Freya continued to repeat the mechanical movements, without any appetite at all. What's even worse is that after the dinner was settled, Freya, who was sitting there in a daze, actually began to shed tears for no reason.
"Hey, that little lover you brought back is crying."
The Spirit Mirror is clearly misunderstood by Freya's sudden appearance. But except for the "little lover", this point is wrong. The rest of Nangong was powerless to refute.
I went on a business trip. Just brought back a muddy golden retriever girl, objectively this is indeed a fact.
"It's noisy, you go and figure it out."
"I'm thinking about ......"
While bending over to deal with the garbage at home, Nangong was in a hurry to deal with it. During the period of time away, Lingjing seemed to have been doing housework, but even so, he was busy because he had to take on double jobs, so all kinds of snacks and fast food garbage at home had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The spirit mirror will definitely not be so sloppy, so the only "prisoner" can only be Qiqi who is still lying on the table, probably because Freya didn't move much for dinner. Qiqi, who obviously didn't have enough to eat, had already started to hit Freya's dinner.
"Okay, okay, that's it." Nangong said while picking up Qiqi, "You go and throw away the garbage you made yourself, I have something to say to her." ”
Although I made a promise in front of Filily before, I ......
A real person who faces Freya's dejected appearance seems to have no solution at all.
After waiting for Qiqiyi to sneak out for a walk while carrying a garbage bag, Nangong, who didn't think of how to make Freya "happy", had to sit opposite Freya silently, watching her keep crying.
Rashly mentioning things related to the Inquisition would only be stepping on landmines, but Freya's current appearance does not seem to be simply homesick. I hadn't cried like this before, but I cried after dinner, could it be that there was something I wanted to do that I didn't accomplish?
"That. Your Excellency, Bishop. ”
With the mentality of giving it a try, Nangong asked cautiously. "Do you have something important to do every night?"
“……”
Important Things...... Oh yes! This bishop is a believer, although it is not clear which "god" and which "demon" she believes in, but the believers seem to have the habit of praying before going to bed, and some of the more "radical" believers who do not pray every day can't even sleep.
This is often seen on TV shows, such as when churches are demolished because they hinder the development of the city, and there are small demonstrations of believers...... And the archbishop in front of her is obviously also a member of the "radical" faction, is she still worried that there is no place to pray?
If this is the case, it is not a difficult problem, because there are few places like churches, but they are not impossible, and in this era of internationalized cultural exchange, it is easy to discover the cultural places of other regions with just a little effort.
"Bishop, if you're worried about a place to pray, I have a solution."
While handing over the tissue, Nangong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was only half speculation, it looked like Freya was really worried about praying. After the problem was solved, her expression was also much soothed.
But Freya's current appearance is really strange, even if she was hit by the matter of the divine envoy, but she didn't even dare to say anything like this, from the moment she stepped off the plane and stepped on the familiar land of Nangong, the archbishop began to shrink, as if he was worried about something.
She's certainly eye-catching, but that's also in terms of attractiveness, not identity. From the moment she left the Inquisition, the archbishop had already become an ordinary person named Freya, who was now a foreign tourist and nothing more.
After preparing in a hurry, Nangong told Qiqi, who was scurrying outside, to hurry home, and at the same time led Freya, who was silently following behind, towards the destination. Under the management of the spirit mirror, the "night" of the city is quite safe, but it is only the "night" that belongs to the monsters, if it is placed in the ordinary world, followed by a cowering soft girl, then the possibility of being harassed on the way has skyrocketed.
“…… Thank you. ”
I don't know how long after walking, Nangong, who had been concentrating on avoiding not to bother, vaguely heard the thank you from behind him, but when Nangong turned around, Freya, who was still looking at him just now, retracted her head again and kept a minimum of following.
It feels like she's on guard against the enemy, but if you think about it, it's true, for such an archbishop who is very fanatical about "faith", I'm afraid that in her eyes anyone who doesn't have the same faith as her will be a "heretic", and since she is a "heretic", then it is understandable to come to the place with corresponding hostility.
Perhaps this also explains why Freya has been a different person since she left the Inquisition, doing everything with the care of a hedgehog. From a city of many "believers" of the same faith to a place full of "infidels", the status of the archbishop who was respected by the believers has changed to that of an ordinary person, and there is no way to be understood by the believers, and everyone will feel frightened and uneasy.
Before leaving, Filily entrusted herself with the placement of the archbishop, but if it was only to provide her with shelter and daily food needs, it was obviously not a "placement", and Freya's current state would sooner or later face collapse due to being too tight. So before that......
Somehow had to be found to change the idea of "heretics" in Archbishop Freya's head. (To be continued......)
