Chapter 4 On the Train

"Brother, do we really have to complete the task given to us by our senior sister when we go to Leol this time?"

After a long silence, Alphons spoke, even though he looked unhappy with his brother's arms around his neck.

"Ahh

Annoyingly, Ed replied as he looked boredly at the cookie-cutter scenery outside the window

"By the way, who let us take the junta's allowance?"

Although the answer was very reluctant, those who know Ed know that he is actually a warm-hearted person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he often takes care of injustices when he encounters them. And this time knowing what might happen to Riol, there is no reason to ignore it.

"And the things and tasks of the Philosopher's Stone are not in conflict."

In fact, this time I went to Leol, Edward and they were to investigate the legendary Philosopher's Stone, and the purpose was naturally to restore the bodies of the two of them, this kind of trip for the purpose of investigating the Philosopher's Stone The two brothers have been doing it together for several years.

Leol was originally their next scheduled stop.

This time, it's just a few takeout missions.

"And judging by the materials provided by Estes, the sect leader will use some strange spells or tricks, which may be the Philosopher's Stone. It's normal to look into it......"

"Ahh It's so small~"

It was just the curious voice of the little girl coming from the next seat

"Who's a small peew like a bean?!"

As the saying goes, people with a guilty conscience have ghosts, and Edward probably belongs to this situation, right?

As soon as I heard that the little girl was associated with his height, this time even the little girl refused to let go.

"Which guy is talking about me?! Stand out! ”

As he spoke, Hula got up from his seat and looked angrily at the next seat, like an angry dinosaur.

"It's cute~ Sister, I like this pendant too~"

However, the unusually harmonious atmosphere next door was not affected by his rage, and it was still harmonious.

A very beautiful and capable girl with long silver-gray hair is holding a few pocket toy pendants and teasing the little girl on her knees with a longing look on her hand to ask for the pendant, opposite is the mother who is happily looking at her daughter, and next to the car window is a purple-haired girl holding a pudding but being ignored by the little girl leaning on the backrest silently weeping and sad.

Obviously, when it comes to how to tease children, the silver-haired beauty is better than her.

"Ahh Turns out there is still someone next door? ”

The silver-gray-haired girl, who wanted to tease the little girl for a while, looked back and saw the tyrannosaurus Peaine standing up and barely revealing her head, and her face was shocked, as if she didn't know that there was a Peewee next door that she had known for a long time.

"I'm sorry ~ I had too much fun just now and didn't notice it at all~"

If you think about it carefully, Douding should be able to feel the hidden consciousness of this smiling silver-haired girl or sarcasm that he is too small, but because there are no keywords, Douding Ye has not been able to attack.

"No, it's a bit of a noise that bothers you."

Seeing that the atmosphere of the chat next door was so harmonious, and the attitude of the silver-haired girl was so good, Alphonse, the good man, was the first to lose the battle and apologized in a panic without waiting for his brother to speak

In his opinion, this kind of big sister who likes children and has a perfect temperament and looks polite to others can't deliberately sarcastic about her brother's height, right?

"Where~ It's our side that didn't notice that someone next door disturbed your rest~"

Although no matter how you listen to it, there is a sense of schadenfreude......

"And it's really small~so cute~"

No matter how you look at it, it's all a look of schadenfreude......

"Do you need a newspaper? ~”

Once upon a time, this same voice was also in this carriage, and Elle had heard it before. It's just that the sound is much more mature and energetic than it was back then. Obviously, the experience of life has made her more confident.

Brown skin, red pupils, short silver-white hair, a sunny smile like a small sun, and finally the voice that can awaken the spirit of passers-by like the sound of spring, isn't this the little girl Linda who sold newspapers a few years ago?

"A newspaper only needs nineteen firsts~"

The little girl didn't change much, except that the price of a newspaper had increased by two yuan per copy.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Linda~ remember me? ~”

Looking at Linda, who had grown taller after not seeing her for a few years, Ellie habitually touched the little girl's head only to find that she had now grown to her chin.

"Sister Ellie? Linda remembers. ”

A few years ago, when business was at its worst, Elle and her family took the train between the east and the central region several times. Every time I invite Linda to eat together, where can Linda forget?

"What about the other sisters? ~They don't seem to have come. ”

looked left and right, and found that this time the three sisters with a particularly big appetite (Estes, Black Pupil Red Pupil) did not come, but there was an extra purple-haired sister by her side.

"Several other sisters have something to do, so they didn't come this time."

Estes has to deal with the military affairs of material deployment in the central government, and the black and red pupils are her guards, so naturally they can't be separated.

"According to the previous rules, why don't you send all the food in the car twice, and come over to eat together?"

Still the eldest lady, she took out two 50,000 yuan bills and handed them to Linda, and then signaled that she didn't need to make change.

"Although I thank my sister for her kindness, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it today."

Although I am very happy to have little Felinda, she really has something to do today.

"Dad has a birthday today, Linda wants to have dinner with Daddy~"

Remember? Linda's adoptive father is the train conductor, and he has been working on the train for more than ten years.

"Really? That's it. ”

Hearing that the little girl could celebrate her father's birthday and have dinner with her father, Ellie's eyes lit up with envy.

"Say hello to your father on my behalf, and wish him a happy birthday and good health."

'When will I be able to have a birthday dinner with my mom and dad?' It doesn't matter whose birthday it is......

Sour, Ellie thought to herself

"If it's convenient, how about a few of you eat together? What did I order a little too much today? ~”

Thinking about it, Elle took the initiative to send an invitation to the mother and daughter duo and the Edward brothers during the trip.

Whenever she is in a bad mood, she always takes the initiative to invite the people around her to dinner, because this can remind her of the fond memories of her parents having dinner with her when she was a child.
