Chapter 223: The Girl Who Is About to Leave
Although they had already decided that they would receive a generous prize of 8,000 gold coins, the Rattils still thought about going to work in the tavern, and seemed to have a sense of intimacy with it.
However, Belen will not stop the girls from working in the tavern, although he is very reluctant, but he understands very well that his own children are gradually growing, how can he not stop it!
The day of the final is tomorrow, and the rest of today's day is intended to make the contestants think about the meaning of the theme of cooking, but after deciding that he will not be able to win, he is already lazy and does not want to waste his mind thinking about such a question.
Belief is such an ethereal thing, which may be able to be understood in a short time, or it may never be understood.
So, Belen lay alone outside the big grass hut that day, looking at the clouds coming and going, the snow in the sky was not big, but a little snow was clearly visible.
It won't be long before I leave here.
Belen thought about the upcoming finals, and when the prize money was in hand, they would have to leave elsewhere, should they go to the imperial capital, or continue their trip? It doesn't seem to conflict with either.
But ah, it's a little reluctant.
In this city, Belen met a girl he cared about very much, just like when he first met Latil and them, the feeling lingered, he didn't save the child.
Obviously, such excessive indecision cannot be had, and he had warned Latil like that, but in the end he could not sit idly by and ignore Illya's affairs.
I obviously wanted to be a good example, but I ended up disqualified. Obviously, he hates trouble the most, but he has repeatedly caused a lot of trouble.
I'm really conflicted.
It would be nice if I could meet Lumia again, I don't know if I can see each other again, I should have already left the city.
"Belรฉm."
There was a voice in his ears, but Belen blinked, feeling a little helpless, how could he seem to hear Lumia's voice? It's supposed to be an illusion.
"Belen? Are you asleep? โ
Wait, it doesn't seem to be an illusion.
Belen turned her head to look, her pupils gradually dilated, and she was greeted by a beautiful girl in a black dress, no doubt it was Lumia.
"Lumia!?"
Belen hurriedly got up, then looked at the girl in front of him in a daze, and asked in surprise, "Haven't you already left?" How..."
Hearing this, Lumia tilted her head and replied suspiciously: "I didn't leave, because I wanted to heal my master, so I still stayed in the city, but... I'm leaving tomorrow. โ
I'm leaving tomorrow.
Belen could see that Lumia had a strong affection for the place where she was, and even if the so-called teacher was very unkind, she still made the choice to go back.
Just when the two were silent, Lumia blinked, as if trying to find a topic, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with a smile: "Congratulations, you have entered the finals, and the prize money seems to be very rich!" โ
Belen was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Ah, thank you." โ
And Lumia also remembered something, one finger against her snow-white chin, she said: "I'm also a top sixteen, but I'm leaving tomorrow, and the bonus will be given to you!" Do you want to return your share of ice cream? โ
The prize money for the top 16 is 4,000 gold coins.
And that ice cream is only a few silver coins, and it is really a luxury to repay it with such a generous bonus, no, it should be said... It's too much!
However, when he heard the girl's words, Belen was silent, and finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Lumia, I still want to persuade you not to go back, that person is a bastard!" โ
After hearing this, Lumia hurriedly spoke: "Teacher, he is not as you think, he is actually a very good person." โ
"How can you be a teacher if you can say something like that? In my opinion, he's just a bastard, and you've never had friends, and it's all because of him! โ
From the words he heard at the time, Belen could clearly recognize one thing, the fact that Lumia had grown up without friends.
What is this trying to do? Is this girl trained to be the kind of so-called killer without the slightest emotion?
According to some things, maybe the girl still retains a strong sense of humanity, maybe it's because of her mother? Belen could feel the girl's deep affection for her mother.
However, Lumia's dependence on the teacher was also more than Belen imagined, and the girl clenched her fists, and the anger in her eyes was not concealed at all.
"Even if it's Belen, I don't want to speak ill of your teacher! Besides, you've already made the teacher suffer before! It's a rip-off! โ
"Flat? No, if it weren't for the fact that he was your teacher, I wouldn't even..." Speaking of this, Belen suddenly stopped, then frowned and said: "Where there are people like that, it's not worth your continued nostalgia." โ
Knowing that Lumia had deep feelings for her teacher, Belen decided to say it, even if it would make the girl angry, and in fact, the girl was angry.
"So, are you trying to get me to give up everything I have now? There are all the memories of my past 16 years, do you want me to let go of it so easily? You don't know anything at all. โ
Lumia stood in front of Belen, she lowered her head, she couldn't see her current expression clearly, but Belรฉn could feel the girl's grievance and unwillingness, as well as anger towards him.
A place that is painful will make you want to leave no matter what, but the place where the girl is staying is not, even though that place has changed her a lot.
Because of the existence of that crazy guy, Belen didn't want Lumia to go back, because this time he went back, that guy would definitely tear his previous face and do more excessive things.
Although it is impossible to guess, Belen is intolerable.
"I'm sorry."
In the end, Belen apologized, and he didn't say anything more to let Lumia go, his words were too small and weak to touch the girl's firm determination.
Lumia whispered, "No, it's me who should say I'm sorry." โ
So, the two returned to silence.
Lumia's dissuasion was not entirely understandable to Belen, she still had trust in her teacher, and that kind of dependence for more than ten years could not disappear in an instant, and Belen, although she knew this, there was nothing she could do.
"I'm leaving."
The last words came from Lumia's mouth, and the girl turned her back to Belen and left, leaping into the darkness and disappearing, and she left without even saying "goodbye".
