Chapter 44 The Duty to Choose
What will a teenager and a girl's first date look like?
Have a good time talking?
Or the love words, you and me?
In modern times, which are becoming more and more open, this is the more common way to open.
However, here is France in 1431. The teenagers and girls who dated, Rika Fujimaru and Matthew Gilerlet, also belong to the kind of blank sheet of paper that is becoming rarer.
That's right, this date is not only the first time between teenagers and girls, but also the first time in life.
Maybe it's because Olga Marie and Roman went a little too far, and the two who realized that they were "dating" subconsciously became nervous.
Thinking about this and that, no one dares to speak first.
I finally wanted to find an opportunity to break the awkward silence, but I forgot what I wanted to say for a moment when I looked at each other.
"The ......"
"This ......"
"Ah......h
"Hmm......"
In the end, they had to bow their heads and continue to return to silence.
Roman, who saw the only person on duty plus the doctor and the nanny, was in a hurry.
What, didn't you say not to look at it?
That's what Olga Marie said, for fear that she would cause trouble, and now Roman is left in the command room, and he is idle.
Of course, he still insisted on his own point of view, did not add to the chaos, left the choice to Rika and Matthew, and watched quietly by himself.
Medieval MontluΓ§on was no bigger than a modern metropolis, and there was always an opportunity to break the silence when you walked around.
In fact, as Roman expected, when he almost walked to the outer city, the opportunity came.
"Ah, isn't this Matthew and Rikka here?"
A woman in a red dress beckoned to the two on the side of the road, and a young man in a wide robe and big sleeves stood beside her.
"Miss Mary, Mr. Amadeus." Matthew hurriedly greeted.
"Non, that's been said before. Don't add honorifics, just call Mary. Mary corrected.
"Forget it this time, Maria, people make mistakes when they're nervous." Mozart persuaded.
"Nervous?" Mary tilted her head, looked at Lika on the left, and then at Mary on the right, and saw that the cheeks of the two were flushed, "Ah, are you also dating like us?" β
"......" Matthew lowered his head and did not speak.
"Aha, ahahaha......" Ritsuka touched the back of her head and laughed.
"I see, you're on a first date." After all, Mary is from the past, and she can see the relationship between the two at a glance, "Mmmm, I know, I understand, the first time always makes people nervous." The first time Amadeus saw me, he fell. β
"Maria, you've already said that. And instead of relieving their tension, you will increase it. Mozart reminded, "You see, they don't say a word now. β
"So what to do?"
"Get out of here and don't bother them. This kind of thing should not be rushed, but taken slowly. β
"You're right. Come on, Amadeus and I will go first. Let's have a girls' meeting again in the evening. β
As she spoke, Mary took Mozart's arm and walked on.
At the moment when the two couples of men and women staggered by, Mary suddenly spoke.
"Please wait."
Mary and Mozart turned their heads in unison, and their understanding was beyond words.
"I ...... There's a question...... Can you ......?"
"Yes, you can ask anything." Mary said with a smile.
"That...... Is it really good for us to do this? Can it really be? β
"What do you do? What do you mean - the thing about dating? β
"Hmm." Matthew nodded slightly.
"Of course you can, it's human instinct to fall in love."
"However, we are Servants, and we are here to fight." This is exactly what Mathew was confused about.
As an experimental subject of the Sub-Servant Project, she has always been in a relatively closed environment and received such an education. But now, contrary emotions sprouted in her heart.
"Make no mistake. Although the way of existence is different, the Servant is still human. Now, Matthew, are you happy to go on a date with Rikka? "Mary is a good follower.
"Happy." This, Matthew could not deny in any way, "However, these emotions are unnecessary for fighting, and I don't have that kind of freedom. β
"It's so plainly cute." Mozart sighed, "Maria has already said that servants are also human beings, and even if they are not free, they still have obligations, such as liking something. β
"Obligation?" Matthew was puzzled, "Isn't it a right or a qualification?" β
"That's right, it's the obligation and nothing else. Human beings have the intellect to think, and therefore have the obligation and responsibility to do so. What you like and what you dislike, what is good and what is evil β it's not about being told or pandering to your surroundings, it's up to you to decide. Fear or anxiety, you have to make your own choices, of your own will. β
Mary applauded Mozart: "Well said, Amadeus. β
"Is it really that good?"
"It's better than that, it's very much like a predecessor."
Being so praised by Mary, Mozart smiled very happily.
"Well, I'm just imitating Salieri a little. Sure enough, he is still good at being a teacher. β
"Salieri? Is that that Antonio Salieri? Rumor has it that he poisoned you. β
"That's a rumor, it's a slander! It's the same stigma you have as the 'Cake Princess'. β
"What kind of man is he? How's your relationship going? I'm a little curious. β
"He was a great musician, teacher, gentleman......"
The latter words were inaudible, and Mary and Mozart had already walked away.
Now that everything needs to be said is said, the next choice can only be made by Matthew himself.
After the two left, Matthew stood in place, his eyes blank.
She's digesting the conversation. The new emotions and the education she received in her short life of sixteen years constantly collided, causing her to fall into her own world and forget the passage of time.
Ritsuka wasn't in a hurry, just stood beside her.
Don't speak, just accompany silently.
It was the only thing he could do for Matthew.
Mozart was not only teaching Matthew, but also him. Everyone has their own choices, and there is no need to force a choice that is not suitable for you.
There's nothing wrong with myself and Matthew like this. Since the time they met, the two have been in this mode of getting along.
Whether you want to change, whether you want to go further, just go with the flow.
I don't know how long it took, Matthew finally came back to his senses, looked around a little dazedly, and saw Lixiang beside him, and then he woke up like a dream "ah".
"Senior...... I ......"
"It's okay, Matthew, don't force yourself. Whatever choice Matthew makes, I won't object to it β because that's my choice. β
Rikka smiled and answered as always, calming Matthew's uneasy mood.
"Senior, can I go to the city wall to have a look? Listen to Elizabeth and the scenery above is beautiful. β
"Yes. Hurry up though, because the sun is going down. β
"Is it all this time? I'm sorry, senior, but I've been delayed for too long. β
"It's okay, it's still too late, and the sunset is beautiful."
"Hmm!"
The boy and girl said as they ran in the sunset.
The figures are stretched by the sunlight and eventually intertwined, just like the fate of the two.
"Young...... That's great. β
Roman, who witnessed this scene, turned off the projection again and sighed softly while holding the coffee cup.
"But the choice...... Choose......"
PS: Salieri's students include Beethoven, Schubert, and Liszt, well-deserved famous teachers, and by the way, Mozart's children also studied music with Salieri.
