Chapter 148: Violet's Growth
After walking a few steps into the fortress, Shen He reacted.
Joan of Arc also seems to be out on a Guardian mission today.
In fact, after the Guardians almost had a certain amount of experience, Joan of Arc's chances to make a move were becoming less and less, but since a few days ago, the crystals from the Inhumans have also joined the ranks of the Guardians, so Joan of Arc went out to bring the newcomers, worried that she would cause too much damage.
Shen He thought for a moment, turned around and walked towards the training ground.
Somewhat surprisingly, the two ceremonies were not here, and there was only one person training in the automatic defense stake in a huge training ground in the castle.
Mikoto Misaka alter.
It's not about electric shock ability, it's about melee reflexes.
Regardless of any servant, strengthening will inevitably strengthen physical fitness, and Misaka Mikoto Alter is now comparable to the average LV2 in terms of physical strength alone.
"Ahem." Shen He coughed lightly twice.
Mikoto Misaka Alter noticed him, stopped training, and looked at him inquiringly.
"Just wanted to ask, are you still used to living here?" Shen He smiled.
"Not used to it."
"......" Shen He's smile froze.
Why doesn't this girl play cards according to the routine, shouldn't she say that she is very satisfied and happy?
"It's boring." Mikoto Misaka Alter didn't plan to give Shen He face, and directly began to complain expressionlessly, "Joan of Arc follows you every day, except for training, she stays in the room, Violet is basically reading and writing, I want to go out to play without anyone to accompany me, I used to ...... I remember a lot of people around me. β
Shen He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say at all.
This was indeed his negligence.
Mikoto Misaka Alter is not as tsundere as Sister Cannon, but she is still a child after all.
There will also be people who want to go out shopping, buy clothes, and eat delicious food, and she is different from the other three resident servants, and it is indeed a little boring to stay in such an environment.
"You...... Do you still want to go to school? Shen He asked hesitantly.
"Silly?" Mikoto Misaka Alter looked at him angrily.
It is indeed a very naΓ―ve idea to let the servants go to school incognito, they are incompatible with the people of this world, not only is it impossible to meet any friends when they go to school, but the probability of being excluded is definitely more than 99%, and the generation gap is too big.
However, Shen He's intention is not to let Misaka Mikoto Alter go to school in the Marvel world.
"How about you go to Tokiwadai Junior High School?" Shen He said, "With a new identity, going to class during the day and going home at night, you should also miss Shirai Kuroko and them." β
"......" Mikoto Misaka hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, "Yes." β
Although she never knew how to face Shirai Kuroko and the others, it had been so long, and she felt that she should accept her true identity.
"So calm?" Shen He smiled and quipped, "Shouldn't you happily hug me and call my brother at this time." β
"Do you want to die?"
Mikoto Misaka Alter has a black line on her forehead, and the black current in her bangs flashes.
"Tsk." Shen He smacked his tongue, "It's really uncute, I'd better go find Violet, and don't disturb your training." β
After saying that, he turned around and planned to leave.
"Wait."
Cold, a girl's voice came from behind him.
Mikoto Misaka bit her lip, "It's not impossible for me to call you brother, but you can't hug it." β
She's not as naΓ―ve as Mikoto Misaka.
After staying here for so many days, she already knows very well that if she wants to gain a foothold in this small group, she can only get closer to Shen He, and if it is useful to recognize a sister, it doesn't matter if she wants to or not.
Shen He turned around and looked at her in surprise.
But just thinking about it a little, he can figure out that for Mikoto Misaka, who has lost his purpose and the meaning of existence, what he lacks in his heart is probably a sense of security.
This girl may be afraid of being abandoned.
"In that case, let's change the name from now on."
Shen He walked over and rubbed the top of her head with a smile, Mikoto Misaka Alter did not refuse this kind of intimacy that was in line with the identity of brother and sister.
walked casually for a while, and ended up recognizing a sister, which Shen He didn't expect.
However, for non-Heroic Followers, it is indeed difficult to understand what kind of relationship the "Master" is.
Among the current servants, Violet regards him as a master, and if you say that, she is probably a close friend like Saiki Kusuo, and Lelouch has the meaning of a little subordinate, as for one party and Mikoto Misaka, the definition of the relationship is more inclined to "benefactor".
Shen He thought in his mind as he came to Violet's room.
As soon as he reached the door, the door was opened from the inside, and Violet looked up at him in her lovely hamster pajamas, with obvious joy in her jewel-like glittering pupils.
It looks like a pet waiting for its owner to come home.
Such a thought suddenly flashed through Shen He's mind, and then he felt a little guilty.
Before he confirmed his relationship with Joan of Arc, he took Violet with him wherever he went, and even as soon as he left for a while, Violet would leave to look for him, but with Joan of Arc, and things gradually became more and more, he often let Violet stay alone.
According to the system's judging criteria, Joan of Arc's bond with him is not as high as Violet and him.
"What are you doing?" Shen He walked into the room.
"Writing."
Violet hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Shen He's palm and pulled him to the desk.
On it were many books given to her by Shen He, all neat and spotless, and it could be seen that the user took great care of them, as well as the letter paper, on which Violet had transcribed half of the article, and the handwriting was beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Shen He picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was a very beautiful prose, or poetryβthe other side.
Many of the books he gave to Violet are like this, beautiful words and moving stories, after all, Violet is like a blank sheet of paper in other places except for the cruel way of killing, the simple white lotus and the deadly mandala, but the two completely different temperaments are vividly displayed in her body.
"Violet." Shen He sat down and picked up the little girl and put it on his lap, "Is there anything you don't understand?" β
β...... Well. Violet hesitated for a moment, but nodded, and took a storybook, "The people on it are a little strange, they are willing to be killed, isn't life the most important thing?" β
"Ugh." Shen He was slightly stunned.
Not because of the story of the mother who was killed voluntarily for the sake of her child, but because Violet said that life is the most important thing.
Even Violet, who grew up in the original book, will not be soft in the slightest when facing enemies, even if she has understood love at that time.
"What do you think...... Is life the most important thing? β
Shen He suddenly felt that he might not know Violet well enough.
"Previous...... The owner ...... "Violet seemed to be reminiscing about the past, her expression a little confused," and gave the order for Violet to die...... But it was not implemented...... That was Violet's only order she disobeyed. β
"......" Shen He was silent for a moment.
He knew that Violet was referring to the nobleman who was so afraid of her that he wanted to kill her but couldn't, and finally decided to give her to his brother.
In this way, it seems to have been mentioned in the original book.
Violet would only kill people in two situations β by order, and when her own safety was threatened.
However, these are all girls who are in a state of her ignorance, and slowly have their own thoughts, how do they view killing and life?
"The words of life ......" Shen He finally spoke slowly, "It is important to everyone, but everyone's life is not the same, and for the mother in the book, her child's life is more important than her own...... In battle, our lives are far more important than the enemy. β
He began to worry that as he gradually took possession of himself, the good part of the girl's heart would clash with the bloody conflict that she could no longer erase.
Like Black Widow, who used to be an agent with blood on her hands, the past days have become her greatest pain and nightmare.
"Understood." Violet tilted her head and thought for a moment, as if she understood, "The life of the Lord is more important than Violet's. β
β......β
Shen He exhaled slowly.
Although it was a plain word, it was not something that Violet took for granted.
In the past, she may have met a master who obeyed orders, but her own life was higher than the master's orders, until now.
Although he wanted to say something, in the end, Shen He still didn't say anything.
From the moment he summoned Violet and gave her the care she didn't have in the past, this heavy relationship was what he should bear.
To make himself as relaxed as possible, Shen He picked out a story book from the table that he hadn't read yet, and told the story to the little girl.
It wasn't until midnight that Joan of Arc returned.
"Good work, Joan of Arc."
Shen He stood up from his seat and looked at Joan of Arc at the door.
Joan of Arc shook her head slightly, looking at the two of them, a little envious.
"Violet already knows all the words." She puffed out her cheeks slightly, "It's been a long time since the Lord taught me well. β
"Ha, haha." Shen He laughed a little embarrassedly.
It's not that he doesn't teach, it's just that every time he teaches, he teaches in strange places.
Violet looked at Joan of Arc and then at Shen He, and suddenly clenched Shen He's palm, looking like she didn't want to let go.
"It's late." Shen He looked at Violet in some surprise, "You have to rest early, too." β
"Violet, I want to be by the Master's side too." Violet's delicate face was pleading, "What Joan of Arc can do, Violet can do, even if she can't do it well, as long as she trains it, she will definitely be able to ......"
"Ahem......"
Shen He hurriedly interrupted her, and his expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Even Joan of Arc blushed all at once.
Tong Yan Wu Ji, Tong Yan Wu Ji, Shen He silently recited twice in his heart, and then shook his head gently.
"Come on, rest early." Shen He rubbed the top of Violet's head with his other hand, "Tomorrow, let's go to Lelouch's world to play together, and introduce a new friend to you when the time comes." β
β...... Command? Violet tilted her head.
"Command." Shen He pretended to keep a face.
Violet reluctantly let go of her hand, and then went to the bathroom to wash up step by step.
Although I have understood a lot of things, I still follow orders meticulously.
Shen He then went out with Joan of Arc and returned to his room.
"Master, are we going to Lelouch's world tomorrow?" Joan of Arc asked as she took off her coat for Shen He.
"Hmm." Shen He nodded, "I asked Dr. Guatai, and he said that he had already understood the general situation of Nanali and could be treated at any time, and something had already happened on Lelouch's side, so I thought, just go over tomorrow, Nanali...... She is also a good little girl, so let her get back to health as soon as possible. β
For such a kind and strong girl as Nanali, probably no one doesn't like it.
What's more, after Shen He heard Lu Luxiu talk about what happened on his side, he was also a little interested in going over to take a look.
"The Master really likes little girls."
The golden ponytail behind Joan of Arc swayed slightly, as if to express the master's vinegar.
"Who said that?" Shen He stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Joan of Arc's waist, and pressed her to the bed with a wicked smile, "I obviously prefer big girls." β
......
The next day, brush off the copy as usual.
It had been a long time since he had experienced a short one-hour copy world, and Shen He suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
Sure enough, the grass is not bad.
When I went to Lelouch's world today, I really should still have fun.
Shen He thought so, so he deliberately brought most of the servants over, and basically only one party passed and Doctor Gu Tai did not go over.
The place where they appeared was a large villa.
Lelouch had already prepared everything, and even last night, he took Nanali over.
"The duration of the tourist card is for a full day." Shen He was still in good spirits, "Lu Luxiu, you are the master here, you can tell me how to arrange it." β
"I want to take Nanali to the castle for treatment first." Lelouch was also very simple, "Because if you can't be cured in one day, if you want to come back, you have to use up another tourist card." β
"That's right." Shen He nodded.
The setting of the castle is like this, if you want to open the door to a certain world, only Shen He is qualified to enter this world.
It is equivalent to saying that if the non-servant stops in the castle for more than a day, he will either stay there all the time, or use another tourist card to get the other party back.
"Nanali is still resting." Lelouch was also a little excited, "I'll go and wake her up." β
He had promised Nanali that he would heal her legs and eyes, and for this girl, it was something he had always dreamed of.
