This is a street in the 16th Development Zone.

Decia and Pallas were walking down the sidewalk, rubbing shoulders with the crowd around them.

It's already 2 hours after the so-called out patrol.

"So, what's going on?"

Pallas suddenly stopped, not paying attention to the gazes of the people around him, but glancing at Desya beside him.

"Huh?"

Desia didn't understand for a moment.

"I'm asking you what you think of the teenager." Pallas asked again.

"Huh? Why are you suddenly asking this? There was a rare flash of panic in Disia.

Pallas looked at it, smiled and said, "Don't be so stingy. After all, you've been together for so many days, you won't sue me, you don't even have the slightest opinion of him, do you? ”

"I ...... I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

Desia pretended to be fierce and said, "What do you think, don't you think I'm going to fall in love with that kind of little ghost?" No kidding. ”

"Oh, even if you say so, but Desya you are a beauty, I don't believe that he is a young boy with strong blood and no thoughts about you?"

He ...... If he had dared, I would have beaten him to death. ”

As if to affirm her tone, Desia pretended to smack her lips.

Pallas's eyes narrowed as he listened, "Is that really the case?" ”

"That's it!!" Desia nodded vigorously.

"Okay, I'll ask another question. How do you feel about him, Desya? ”

"Pallas, you're endless!! Didn't you just say it very clearly? That guy is my slave and that's all there is to our relationship. ”

"You're mistaken, that's not what I meant. What I want to ask is, what do you think of the boy's character? In my opinion, he is a pretty good guy except for a bit of a nervous rotten good guy character. ”

"Oh, isn't that good? It's really rare, and this is probably your highest praise for people. ”

"Imagine for the sake of you, what fool in this world would dare to stand in front of Lagle and me?"

"......" Di Siya was silent, as if she remembered what Ye Feiye had done to save her before.

"What? Don't you think so? Looking at the silent Desya, Pallas asked softly.

"Nope."

Desia shook her head lightly, "I just envy him. ”

"Huh?" A look of confusion flashed across Pallas's face.

"Rather than hurting others, I would rather choose to save others, and the gentleness and strength that I don't care about making myself tattered and tattered is something I don't have."

Saying this, Desia clenched her fists: "I'm just a fool who only denounces violence with jealousy and anger. And he saved me like that, so I want to protect him, whether it's to repay him or to repay my kindness. Because that stupid fellow, if you don't look at him well, you always feel like he's going to fall somewhere in tatters. ”

"Really?"

Pallas looked at the sky for some reason, and even his voice became extremely ethereal: "Actually, I am also envious." ”

"Huh?" Desia glanced at Pallas in surprise.

Pallas said disapprerovingly: "Since I got the power of this goddess, my life has been too smooth, and I lack the ability to discern and deal with it. Therefore, when I encounter things, I will always use this wisdom to judge, instead of choosing a difficult path and persevering with perseverance. So, I'm so sorry then, Desya, if I had been stronger, I wouldn't have left you on a lonely escape. ”

Desia shook her head lightly: "Pallas, don't say that, you did your best at that time, I can clearly feel it. ”

"Not really."

Pallas bit his lower lip, "I'm just a coward. At that time, I made judgmental decisions based solely on the premise that I was safe. But that young man was different, obviously he was also in the same situation as me, obviously he didn't have the wisdom of mine and didn't have a solution, but he just didn't give up, and in the end he almost took his life. ”

"Pallas ......"

"So I'm at ease."

“……！？”

Pallas laughed, "With that stupid guy by your side, I'm sure he can protect you better than I do." But I also know that because of that, there will always be times when he lacks strength. So, at that time, Desya, please don't be afraid of trouble, and try to use my power as much as possible. ”

"Well, it looks like he's pretty reliable. And I've already said that I protect him, not him!! Desia waved her hand angrily and said, "Besides, that stupid guy is stingy and stingy, and his strength is also so weak that he is embarrassed." If it weren't for the situation, I wouldn't have bothered. Bird. He. ”

"That's not the case. You always talk back, you really have to change it. ”

"I want you to take care of it!!" Desia glared at Pallas fiercely.

……

The other side.

Ye Feiye and Sophia came to the door of an orphanage.

I came here because of Sophia's sincere please.

She said that she had made an agreement with the children in the orphanage that she would come to the orphanage to play with them this afternoon.

At first, Ye Feiye was skeptical.

But seeing that the other party's sincere expression did not look like a lie, he agreed to accompany her.

The condition, of course, is that the latter does not take the opportunity to escape.

But when he saw that the teachers and children in the orphanage were happily greeting Sophia, he was completely convinced.

Frankly.

Because there are often negative news about orphanages, Ye Feiye does not have a good impression of the so-called orphanages.

But looking at the cheerful atmosphere that pervades the orphanage here, he is inevitably infected.

Maybe it's a small number of orphanages that make a name for themselves, but most of them aren't.

Ye Feiye is willing to believe so.

Otherwise, this hidden fact would be too tragic.

Other than that.

On the way here, he and Sophia went to the Brain Psychiatric Research Institute.

After all, he had promised Ximen Shengdong that he would take time to run there every day to check his body and collect a number of points.

But because of the hallucination incident, Ximen Shengdong really couldn't take time.

Therefore, she asked Ye Feiye to come to the research institute to check her body after the incident.

Ye Feiye also did not point out that the hallucination incident was caused by the fire of mischief.

That's fine, when the mischievous fire incident is over, it will probably be the end of the so-called hallucination incident of Ximen Shengdong.

As he was thinking, a voice broke the silence.

The one who spoke was a very thin little boy among the children gathered around Ye Feiye and Sophia.

He pointed at Ye Feiye and asked Sophia, "Sister Sophia, is this stupid-looking guy your boyfriend?" ”

Ye Feiye's face trembled when he heard this, and he just wanted to say something.

A little girl on the side had already tried to correct herself, saying, "Ah Guang, how can you say that? If you want to say that you look like an idiot, right? ”

"Isn't stupidity an idiot?" The little boy muttered discontentedly.

"Who said the same!"

The little girl crossed her waist and pointed at the little boy with a serious face, saying, "Stupid means brainless, and idiocy means fool." Have you ever heard of fools without brains? ”

“……”

Here, Ye Feiye remained silent.

Because he knows that if he complains here.

At first, it will appear that he is immature;

Second, the other party is discussing whether he is an idiot or a fool in front of him, and if he answers casually, isn't it the same as saying that he has admitted what the other party said about him?

"Oops, it's noisy! I say stupid is stupid! ”

"It's not stupid, it's idiot!"

"Stupid!"

"Idiot-like!"

"Okay, stop arguing."

Sophia had to interrupt: "Since you can't argue, it's good to be both stupid and idiot." ”

Sophia, who said this, smiled lightly and glanced in the direction of Ye Feiye.

Waiting for those children to run away to play by themselves, Ye Feiye suddenly said in an unkind tone: "You did it on purpose, right?" ”

"Huh? Mr. Ye Feiye, I don't understand what you're talking about? ”

Although she said this, her smiling eyes showed that she was pretending to be confused.

Ye Feiye was angry, but he also knew that continuing to pursue it like this would only make the discussion come true.

So he changed the subject and said, "I mean, they say you're my girlfriend, don't you mind?" ”

"That's it, it's okay, it's just a way of saying anyway."

Sophia reached out and stroked her hair, and said disapprerovingly: "Besides, in front of these children, such indiscriminate denial will only hurt their hearts. They've been hurt enough, and if this kind of boyfriend and girlfriend topic can make them happy, I won't veto it. ”

"Just because of that?"

Ye Feiye asked suspiciously, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of it." Miss Sophia, you are the princess of the Kingdom of Mormagona, right? You are not afraid that such rumors will spread and tarnish your purity. Is it clean? It's okay for me, I'm just a normal high school student anyway, but you're different. ”

"Is it different?"

Sophia rarely showed a deep look, she stared at Ye Feiye and asked seriously: "In your opinion, the royal princess is so high?" Everything must be based on royalty. Pure. Clean. Consider? ”

"Huh? Isn't it? ”

Listening to Ye Feiye's rhetorical question, Sophia moved her mouth, but she didn't know how to refute.

After pondering for a long time, she finally shook her head and said, "You're right, but everyone in the royal family will act like this." Although my home kingdom, the Kingdom of Momagona, may seem like an insignificant and small country to outsiders, my mother ...... No, it should be said that the current queen of the Kingdom of Momagona binds the entire royal family according to the standards of the royal family of a large country. ”

"Since I was born, I have been forbidden to do this or that, and I have been trained to be a talented husband for the state, and I have been forced to learn the manners and virtues of a noble woman. That kind of life, like a life of living for the sake of getting married, is not what I want at all, I hate that kind of life, and I hate that royal family even more. ”

"You ......"

Ye Feiye moved his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say, so he had to remain silent again.

"In those seemingly never-ending days, I have been despairing, and I have been forcing myself not to have any rationality, because even if I have reason and thinking, it will only add unnecessary troubles, and nothing will change at all."

Sophia's gaze became more and more misty: "But until that day. I got the power of Snow White's name, and then using that power, I fled that country and joined the Grimm Light. It's just that despite this, the emptiness in my heart and the indescribable loneliness can't be filled. I was in pain, wandering around like a soulless puppet until I got the share called 'Hope for Salvation.'" ”

"Hope for salvation?" Ye Feiye couldn't help but be stunned.

Sophia didn't answer, but asked Ye Feiye: "Mr. Ye Feiye, do you know how the people around you think of those orphans?" ”

“……”

This question, even if you don't answer the answer, is obvious.

Despite the claims of equality and freedom, society's rejection of orphans is not ordinarily strong.

Sophia also expected that Ye Feiye would not answer, so she answered her own question herself: "Ostracism, rejection, belittlement, oppression, and contempt, this is how society treats orphans." If that's the case, shouldn't orphans live in this world? Are orphans left to fend for themselves? ”

"Obviously, they have never done anything wrong, but they have become orphans because of force majeure, which is not what they hope for at all. But why do people despise them, bully them, and coerce them? Except for the fact that parents are obviously deducted, everyone is the same. They are like me in the royal family, although I am not an orphan, but I am indeed an orphan, and I only save my puppets for other people's purposes. ”

Speaking of this, Sophia took a deep breath, and her eyes became cold: "Therefore, I often wonder, if this is the case, should those children with parents lose their parents to try?" That way, I don't think they'll be so self-righteous and high-minded. ”

"This ...... This idea is too extreme, right? Ye Feiye, who was listening silently, subconsciously interjected.

"Indeed."

Sophia did not veto: "What made me realize this was after I came into contact with the children in the orphanage. Despite being born in the mud, they are not stained with the dirt of the mud in the slightest, on the contrary, their hearts are even whiter than paper. I was redeemed from them, and although it was unbelievable and inexpressible, their rippling laughter, their heartbeats and their indomitable will, it seemed as if spring had arrived, as if the long winter had come to an end. ”

Sophia paused, and said with her hands slightly open, "Did you hear that?" What a beautiful heartbeat, as if it can ripple in people's souls, making people happy and happy. It turns out that hope is within reach, as long as you are willing to listen carefully. They are the ones who give me the salvation I want, and I want to respond to them. But I also know that there is only so much I can do on my own. So ......"

For some reason, Sophia paused, but her bright eyes were staring in the direction of Ye Feiye.

"How...... What's wrong? ”

Maybe it was because he was stared at by the other party, Ye Feiye asked in a trembling voice.

"I want you."

"Hmm...... Well? Huh, hey? ”

It seemed that he didn't believe his ears, and Ye Feiye let out a long sound of surprise!!
