Chapter 21: Investigating the White Shadow (Part II)

"Thank you to the Goddess for giving us food...... Ah, and thank Dean Teresa for letting me eat. In the orphanage's dining room, Father Kevin prayed reverently in front of a table of fragrant dishes served by Dean Teresa. Probably because he was really hungry, this time he prayed even more seriously and piously than before.

"You are the children's teacher, and you deserve that gratitude." Dean Teresa was clearly amused by Kevin's exaggerated words and movements.

"yes...... Don't look at him like this, but tell a vivid story. After sending Kevin to the village of Mariano, Heiliga learned that Kevin, who was originally an itinerant priest, had also been assigned a basic education assignment from the diocesan to teach the children basic knowledge in remote areas that were not covered by Sunday schools.

"It's really hard for Father Kevin to finish all twenty-two volumes of 'Puppet Knights' in one go......," Shellazad understood how difficult the green shallot in front of him had done.

"By the way...... Haliga and Filipino. Is your hometown okay? Estil changed the subject.

"Not so good." Heliga nodded, "Something went wrong, Duke...... Forget it, let's talk about this question at another time. ”

"Looks like a lot of things have happened." Shelazad said softly, "Thank you for taking the time to help us gather some information in this situation." ”

"Nothing, just heard about it." Heiliga waved his hand indifferently, "And what about the result?" ”

"There's no real information...... The boy said that he had drunk too much alcohol and had seen the ghost drift on the warehouse for a long time...... Then he was so frightened that he didn't drink anymore, and woke up all the bad people who were asleep...... Naturally, he was taught a lesson by those people, and he never went back because of this. ”

"It doesn't sound like a fake." Heliga nodded, "It looks like the association is doing something." ”

"Hmm. In connection with the information that Polly told us just now...... "Shelazad muttered," there is one last place to go. ”

"Al Raidon's gatehouse."

"The waterfall there is beautiful." Fei had been teasing the children, and only interjected slightly when she heard this.

"Then finish your meal and ...... Ah, Father Kevin! You're too-"

"Ah...... Sorry, sorry. Kevin held half a hash brown in one hand, stuffed his mouth with food, and apologized vaguely, "Because I was so hungry, I can't help but think back to the time when I was young and my childhood sweetheart who ate amazingly...... Before you know it......"

"I was still wondering. The food in the church is not so bad. Sherazadeh voiced the questions she had for a long time.

"How good is your childhood sweetheart?" Curiosity lit up in Estelle's eyes.

"Don't make me think of it...... Don't make me think of it! With a genuinely pained look on his face, Kevin pointed to a large bowl of seafood noodles in front of him, "Such a big bowl probably won't be enough for her appetizers." ”

"Huh?" Estelle was taken aback, how could there be such a person in this world......

"It's true." The pain on Kevin's face didn't abate, "And the fact that she doesn't get fat no matter how much she eats makes me very strange." ”

"Huh?" Estelle's eyes instantly turned into little stars, and even Shellazade showed a somewhat envious expression.

Hey, it's a racial talent, you two do what you can.

————————————————————————————

It was getting late, but several people hurried to the Al Raiden Pass without stopping. Father Kevin still had something to go back to church and couldn't come along; And Hailiga and Fei struck while the iron was hot and volunteered to help the two. Sure enough, what I got was still information without any specific information, or a soldier saw a white shadow floating in the sky...... After a busy day, she didn't get anything, and Estelle, who had just become a guerrilla, was a little anxious, but the experienced Sherazade was used to it, and she had encountered a week of investigation in vain.

"Wow! Mom and Dad! This way! Just as a few people came to the outer corridor on the second floor to watch the famous Sekisho Waterfall, an innocent and immature voice was heard. A delicate face carved out of crystal, a gorgeous and comfortable gothic-style loli outfit, and a delicately trimmed short hair with dropped shoulders - like an angel.

"Okay, okay, if you make such a fuss, you'll wrestle." The man with the same hair color on the side smiled, and the woman on the side had a gentle expression.

"What a harmonious family. Are you here for a trip? Estelle asked quietly.

"Looks right, I think it's a foreigner." Naturally, Sherazade was also attracted by the beautiful maiden.

"It's so beautiful! Big sister over there! What's the name of this waterfall? Where does all this water come from? The girl apparently noticed that she was caught up in the crowd, but she was still in high spirits, and there was nothing unnatural about it.

"The name of this waterfall is 'El Reden', and the water of the lake in Valyria flows here through various channels." Estelle replied confidently. Her mastery of the common sense of human geography is also one of the signs of her progress, and she was amazed in her heart when she saw it.

After some conversation, several people learned that this seemingly harmonious family was from a distant foreign country, and as a merchant family, they only found time in their busy schedules to satisfy their daughter's fantasy of wanting to come out to play. Looking at the girl's satisfied and happy expression, Estelle felt envious from the bottom of her heart.

......Unlike Estelle and Sherazade, Heliga did not come up to talk to her, but fell into a kind of contemplation after seeing the couple. This strange atmosphere naturally attracted the attention of the two guerrillas, who, after the girl happily returned with her parents, expressed their doubts.

"I knew the couple very well, but I couldn't name them for a while." Heliga definitely remembered the familiar hair color and knew that it was someone who knew him. If only one person looks alike, it can be said to be a small probability event like twins...... But both husband and wife look very similar, so ...... But the other party just stood there, not at all greeting him or recognizing himself - which made him smell a hint of disobedience.

“…… I remember. Fei on the side closed his eyes, "It's the Hayvas couple from Cross Bell...... A merchant family who lived in a residential area and had a son, Colin, with whom I used to play. ”

"Right...... That's them. Heiliga patted her thigh, "Wait? Son? ”

"yes...... I guess it's called Colin. The color of her hair is exactly the same as that of the little girl just now. But the couple, including the child himself, never mentioned that there was an older girl in the family. ”

“…… Is it...... And if you think about it, although the couple just now looks very natural, if you think about it carefully...... It seems that his eyes have never left his daughter...... It's so unnatural...... Do you say ......"
