(43) Marisa's childishness
Magic is often feared because of its mystery, people in this world are more receptive to things like magic because they live in an environment that is very magical in itself, and in some of their stories, there are good and bad people who use magic, and many people regard magic as some kind of effect of a functional building system, but Marisa knows that it is a misconception, and what is recorded in this ancient book reveals the fact that magic is not a functional building system for the girl.
As she read the book more and more, Marisa felt more and more distant from the world of ordinary people, she locked herself in her room like an autistic person, and spent the rest of her time reading books except for necessary activities such as sleeping and eating.
Every day, Marisa would go to the study of the Hearn family and take away a lot of books on ores, plants, geography, alchemy, and occultism, and she needed to use these documents as a reference for her to read this magic book.
Sometimes Marisa also wants to put down her books and play with Dongdong, but every time she tries to find Little Maoyu, she will find that the other party is not in the manor at all, because Dongdong has to go to the snack shop early in the morning to work, and of course Marisa can't find her.
'Knock is so nasty! Leave me alone on the manor and go out by myself...... Ignore her again! โ
Marisa couldn't help but have such a childish thought, and then gradually turned into another worry as time passed.
'Knock knock her... Wouldn't it be possible to have new friends out there and forget about me? What if that's the case? โ
This is actually the possessiveness that most children have, and Marisa wants Knock to be just her friend and only play with him.
As she grows older, this immature mentality will inevitably fade away, but for Marisa now, this is a big trouble, every morning at dinner, she wants Dongdong to stay, but she is embarrassed to say it, and in the last few days, Marisa has found that Dongdong always leaves the manor with Melly, and the little girl is even more worried.
'What are Knock Knock and Melly doing?' I really want to go over and see what they do......
Marisa half-heartedly flipped through the book, because the appearance of Melly, an intervener, made her suspicious and couldn't even read the magic book, and the child who was clearly jealous of it.
"Marisa! Marisa! โ
At this time, a familiar voice reached the ears of the girl who was reading a book, and she was unable to react for a while.
At this point, Knock Knock must have come out of the basement and go to the dim sum shop with Melly, right? This one is supposed to be an auditory hallucination. โ
With this in mind, Marisa continued to read her book without looking up, only to have a face stretched out in front of her.
"Marisa is always like this, and she ignores me!"
Dongdong gagged and stared very unhappily at the partner in front of her who was startled by her.
โโฆโฆ Scared the hell out of me. What are you going to do? โ
Marisa, who was frightened by Xiao Maoyu's sudden poking face, was a little angry.
"Of course, I'm telling Marisa to go eat something delicious with you. Sister Xue Xue said that you can invite friends to come with you! โ
Xiao Maoyu replied with a grin.
"Who is Sister Xuexue?" "Sister Xue Xue is the owner of the dim sum shop where I work, and she is a very gentle person! Let's go together, shall we? โ
In fact, when Knock said the first sentence, Marisa was already there, but she made a serious appearance.
"Go knock knock. I...... I won't go. I'm going to study magic. โ
Clearly, Marisa had a childish attack.
"Is Marisa really not going? Are you sure? Shall we go together? โ
Knock Knock circled around Marisa without giving up.
"I'm serious about magic! Go on your own! โ
Knock Knock's stalking has the opposite effect.
โโฆโฆ Marisa really wants to go now, right? Why do you have to say you don't want to go? โ
Knock stopped spinning and asked suspiciously.
"Who wants to go? I don't want to go! Magic is better than something delicious...... Yes...... That's a lot more interesting! I'm not going! โ
After Dongdong's inner thoughts were pointed out, Miss Marisa Kiriyu suddenly exploded, but Dongdong said to her very seriously.
"I really want Marisa to go, Marisa seems to be very unhappy for a while, okay?"
Although she often has no sense of existence, she does have a plug-in existence, and Mao Yu's natural ability allows her not to be confused by the other party's language, expressions and behaviors, and accurately grasp the other party's mood, and she can't deceive Dongdong when she is sad with a smile.
Little Maoyu's innocent expression actually put a heavy pressure on Marisa at this time, and the girl who was defeated in the eye whispered.
โโฆโฆ Good. โ
"Great! Marisa, you're willing to come with me! โ
Knock Dong, who succeeded in persuasion, jumped and jumped happily, she took Marisa's hand and just wanted to go out, but found that she didn't seem to be able to drag Marisa, and she didn't seem to want to go.
"That...... Knock knock, you wait for me first. โ
After Marisa said this to Little Maoyu, she went back to the table and sorted out all the reference books, hid the notes she had copied in the cupboard and in the corners of the walls, and finally put the magic book in a small bag and put it on her back, and when she had it ready, she came to Dongdong's side.
"We can go."
Marisa's reason for being so careful was because she already knew that magic was something that was taboo for ordinary people, and if it was known to the people of the Hearn family, the lord's big brother would probably forbid her to study.
The dim sum shop is closed again today...... The reason for this closure is not to go to the port to pick up the goods, but to celebrate the holidays.
With the advent of functional buildings that can be cultivated in all seasons, the change in the weather of the four seasons has become less important to farmers, so many festivals celebrating the harvest have been replaced by other festivals, even if the original festivals still have a very different meaning.
Living alone in a foreign place, Ye Jianxue has long not paid much attention to the festival in her hometown, she usually doesn't even bother to celebrate her birthday, if it wasn't for the time when she went to get the goods a few days ago, the Chinese ship owner kindly reminded her, Ye Jianxue didn't even know that it wasn't long before the Spring Festival......
It can be seen from this that the girl seems to have completely fainted.
At first, she actually just wanted to have a good time with Dongdong and Melly, she usually lived alone, but she didn't have this opportunity and mood, but the sudden appearance of the big weirdo disrupted her plans, and Melly was scared that day, where is there still a mood for entertainment?
Even if Dong Dong later said that this big weirdo was a good person who had taken care of her, Ye Jianxue still hated this guy named Ning Yi very much, just by carrying a murder weapon to break into a private house, Xue Xue felt that this guy was not an honest person, and she even thought that Dong Dong would not have been deceived by this guy.
In short, the girl was not satisfied with the final sentence of the lord, such a fellow should be imprisoned for two or three years, and it was too light to be imprisoned for a week and then sent to Herne Manor for labor reform...... What does it mean to talk about labor reform?
She had no idea that Ning Yi had secretly signed an employment agreement with Dio, and that he would settle in Bologna as an advisor to the lord, because Dio had discovered that this guy was indeed quite capable.
Ye Jianxue heard a knock on the door outside, she immediately ran over to open the door, only to see Dongdong standing outside and a strange little girl, thinking that it was a friend invited by Dongdong.
"Sister Xuexue! I'm coming~\(โงโฝโฆ)/~"
Dongdong pulled the strange girl while raising his hand to greet Xue Xue energetically.
"Welcome! Welcome! Knock Knock...... Is this kid your friend? โ
โโฆโฆ Hello, my name is Marisa. โ
"Marisa? Welcome. โ
Ye Jianxue said and welcomed the two children into the house.
"It's been a long time since there's been a lively place, so let's have a good time together when Melly comes over!"
Yami Yuki felt very happy, and Marisa's little face suddenly wrinkled a little when she heard her words.
'So Melly is coming, too...... Woo! โ
The girl thought so unhappily.
