14. Separate again
Rohr went around the terraces and came back, with a bunch of fresh fruits and vegetables in his arms, and after asking the neighbors to help with the cooking, he took Anya and Klee around the mountains.
I looked at the beautiful waterfall in the mountains, picked some really delicious mushrooms, and was very lucky to pick up a lost bear.
The bear was fluffy and round, and it should have been born not long ago, and its limbs were short and it ran very slowly, so it was picked up by Rohr.
"Scared~ so cute!"
Anya took the bear from Rohr's hand and stroked it lovingly.
"Haha, it seems that there is honey to eat today, Sister Anya, let me tell you, the wild honey in the mountains is sweet!"
Klee scratched the bear's ears excitedly.
Why is there honey to eat?
Anya didn't understand it at first, but by noon, she understood.
Two strong, fat, dangerous-looking brown bears, with two honeycombs in their mouths, blocked the entrance to the village, and from time to time let out anxious growls in their throats.
Although he looked very anxious, he did not dare to enter the village, so he could only wander under the old tree with a crooked neck.
The villagers passing by were also not surprised by this, passed by them calmly, and shouted in a raised voice:
"Whose honey has arrived?"
Rohr hurriedly carried the bear out and exchanged it for the honeycomb from the big bear's mouth.
"Goodbye, remember to play next time."
Klee waved her hand reluctantly.
The little bear was held in the mouth by the big bear, and he struggled to twist his round body, and waved his short paws back.
Anya was stunned when she looked at it from the side, but she didn't expect that people and wild animals would get along in such a way.
The day passed quickly, and when it was time for dinner, Klee told the cruel news.
"What?!"
Rohr's eyes widened.
"Leaving tomorrow? In such a hurry? It's only been back for a few days......"
Only then did he know that his daughter was going home this time, just by the way, and originally planned to go to the southern province of Newlin, so he deliberately spared the road and went home first.
Anya on the side hurriedly explained that this is a very valuable opportunity for social practice, led by a well-known scholar and a well-known professor, and there are various benefits to participating.
Still not lying, this trip does have an element of social practice, and a series of field research will be conducted to assess the garrison situation in Newlin; It is true that there are professors and scholars taking the lead, and Klee used to play mainly around a town.
But the real purpose is to comprehensively clean up and check the local monsters.
Newlin is the industrial center of the Empire, and there is no room for error, and it is worth a trip to the Empire like Klee, and you can also rub some seniority by the way.
After listening to Anya's explanation, Rohr barely squeezed out a smile on his face.
"In this way, I understand, this is indeed a rare opportunity, daughter, you have to take advantage of it!"
The rest of the night, he was a little sullen.
Klee had already noticed, and when her father was helping her comb her hair, she took his right hand, put it on her cheek, and said softly:
"Dad, it's okay, I'll come back to you for a while when I'm done over there."
"It's okay, it's okay, it's still important to study, you haven't been back for two years, haven't I adapted too?"
Rohr gently rubbed his daughter's cheek and said softly.
"Daddy will tell me a story?"
"Okay."
Rohr carried his daughter back to the cot, wrapped her in a blanket and asked again:
"What kind of story would you like to hear?"
Klee blinked wide-eyed, thought for a moment, and replied:
"Tell me a warm and healing one, right?"
Rohr searched for memories for a while and picked a story that fits the requirements.
"The story takes place in another distant world, where people live on floating islands floating in the sky, and there is an island full of half-orcs, and on this day a fairy-like girl is welcomed......"
"The girl's badge was stolen by the kitten, and in a hurry to chase it, she accidentally fell from the upper floor, but fortunately was caught by a kind man......"
"The two wandered around the market called Scarborough, admiring the scenery and beauty......
“…… In this way, after a series of events, the two gradually fell in love with each other and vowed to give each other happiness......"
“…… In the end, with everyone's hard work, they successfully repelled the monster and saved the world, and the girl also came together with the man and became the happiest girl in the world. ”
And so the story ended, and Klee listened with great satisfaction, squinting her eyes slightly, her little hand reaching out from the restraints of the blanket, and gently holding her father's thumb.
"It's a great story."
Rohr smiled:
"yes, that's nice."
In fact, he can't remember the original appearance of this story, and only a rough outline is left in his mind, but the ending must be like this, this is the most reasonable ending.
"Good night, baby."
Rohr got up and kissed his daughter lightly on the forehead.
"Good night Dad."
The next day, Klee got up early, changed out of her home dress, changed into the student uniform of the First College, the upper body was a slim plaid shirt, the bottom was a black pleated skirt, and there were white over-the-knee stockings on her legs, which wrapped her legs tightly and roundly, and between the cuff and the skirt, there was still a touch of absolute realm that attracted reverie.
Wearing such a body, Klee finally has a bit of the temperament that a student should have, but she is more like a junior high school student than a college student at the first college.
Rohr carefully tied her ponytail and tied two beautiful bows with purple ribbons.
"Dad, let's go."
Anya and the housekeeper on the side also said goodbye and thanked Rohr for his warm hospitality in the past two days.
"Be careful on the road!"
"Miss Anya, Mr. Butler, my daughter still hopes that you will take care of me."
"Please rest assured ......"
In this way, Klee turned around in a few steps and slowly disappeared from Rohr's field of vision.
As soon as his daughter left, he felt as if his heart had been hollowed out again, and his face was full of exhaustion and decadence, and he sat down under the crooked-necked tree at the entrance of the village, just like he had done two years before, and began to look forward to the appearance of a postman.
After five days in a blur, the postman did not appear, but the fat man who went down the mountain to buy came back.
He used the money from Rohr to buy a lot of things for the village.
"Huh? Klee was in such a hurry to leave? I also picked out a gift for her. ”
The fat man said with a look of regret as he pulled out a lady's sunhat from a large pile of packages.
The style is not new or beautiful, it is very rustic, but it is already the best style that can be bought in this remote area.
He then proposed:
"If you're really worried, why don't you go and have a look? By the way, help me bring the gift to her. ”
