Chapter Seventy-Nine: Asking Someone Who Shouldn't Have Been Asked
"This is the helper you're looking for? Does he live here? Garcia's tone was suspicious, since Heliga didn't say hello and found Garcia in the shelter provided by the church, he felt that he was not hallucinating today. For the boy did not explain what had happened to him, but ordered himself to follow him to a fork in the street in the direction of the mine town.
Garcia knew what it was—it was the path that led to Rozanbeck's Doll's Workshop. The owner of the workshop was an eccentric old man, and except for a few whom he considered trustworthy, he had shut himself up almost all the year round, and had not received any guests—what was the purpose of Haliga bringing herself here?
"I'm not at ease with you alone. So there are others here...... He lived in that workshop. It's like you've been hiding in church. "Speaking of which...... Martha, how is she? ”
Heliga's former friend in Erlengem later became a legal "mercenary" secretly recognized by the "Church of the Seven" - after accepting Joachim's request, he came to Crossbell, but was accidentally intercepted by Heliga. Heliga trusted her, and the promise of the church, so she decided to keep the hunting regiment in Crossbell and deploy it when it was needed. Due to the relationship with the church, although Crossbell's diocese Alalda has always had a bad relationship with the Knights, and reacted very violently after learning about the relationship between Martha and the others and Ain, but in the end he compromised under the various coercion and temptations of Heliga.
The male members of the regiment were doubly vouched for by the relationship between the church and the police department that Heliga was looking for, and disguised themselves as ordinary migrant workers to get down in Crossbell; The few female members of the group stayed in the church and made cameos for a while as nuns – their head had taken the entire nun course, so that was not a problem.
And Garcia, a seasoned hunter, was also arranged by Heliga to hide in the church to avoid being captured from outside - due to the secret agreement reached with Heliga's side, the people who searched the first section knew about Garcia and Levi's hideout, but they had been making a look of searching everywhere but not finding anyone to cooperate with this kind of performance, so when Heliga said that the two would soon leave Kolosbell, Guy was also greatly relieved.
In this way, it is inevitable that there will be a connection between the two. From time to time, Garcia would tell Martha the story of his adventures in Zephyr, telling Martha how a real hunter survived; Martha will also tell Garcia about her beliefs and methods to protect her hometown, and at the same time learn a trick or two from Garcia from time to time.
"Hmph...... Innocent little girl. Speaking of Martha, although her mouth was unforgiving, Garcia's tone slowed down a lot, and it seemed that she remembered a lot of pleasant memories of getting along during this time.
"The old cow eats the tender grass, huh?" Heliga looked at him with a smirk.
"What nonsense." Although he protested loudly, Garcia's aura was not as loud as his name. Under Heiliga's smiling expression, he finally changed the subject: "Speaking of which...... How is Faye doing now? ”
"Fei's words, it's good...... in every sense of the word. At school, I was assigned to a good class and met good classmates. Heliga nodded, "The course itself is quite interesting. ”
"What about you and her?" Garcia looked at Helliga with some subtle eyes, although he had seen Helica's methods in the previous incident, and had already decided in his heart that Fei and he would go through the rest of his life, but when he asked this question in person, he still felt very strange.
"......" For some reason, Heiliga's expression paused slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and Garcia was anxious for a while.
“…… I said. What if, I mean what if. Heiliga said cautiously, "I fell in love with other girls besides Faye...... What do you think? ”
"......" Garcia's face turned gloomy, "If you do something sorry for Fei, even if you know that you are not your opponent, I will not spare you." ”
"Don't be so fierce. I'm just saying what if. Heiliga hurriedly reassured, "But...... Excuse me Fi...... What if I said that the Philippines didn't seem to care much about it? ”
"How is that possible?" Garcia laughed at first, then suddenly remembered something, and her expression became serious.
"I remember...... You're an Imperial nobleman, right? Garcia said slowly, "And the nobility of the empire can legally have multiple spouses...... You kid, is what you just said true? ”
“…… Be. I didn't expect Garcia to realize the truth so quickly, and Heiliga admitted it while thinking that things were a little troublesome. Because Garcia is also one of those who really cares about the Philippines, and he doesn't want to lie to him on this kind of issue.
"I'll just say it won't be groundless." Garcia snorted heavily, and there was already something wrong in his eyes, "Who is the target of cheating?" ”
"What is a cheating partner...... It's not that far. Heiliga hurriedly protested, his image could not be tarnished by Garcia, "the other party ...... Well, also the noble lady of nobility...... And it's not the status of an ordinary nobleman...... Let me tell you this. ”
If you directly say that it is Her Royal Highness, it will probably cause a lot of turmoil.
"Hmph...... Is the so-called doorman right? You nobles are always like this. Alas......" Garcia shook her head, looking disappointed.
"Don't worry...... I'm not done yet. I didn't plan to give up on Fei, but I just couldn't find a chance to confess to her before. Heiliga hurriedly explained, "But later, when we went to the imperial capital, Fei seemed to see this on her own, and asked me to talk, and personally broke this point in front of me. ”
"Hmph, you deserve it."
"But...... She didn't seem to blame me. "She just said something like she had faith in me, knowing that it would take a place in my heart...... I haven't mentioned it since, and I'm too embarrassed to ask her again, so I'll see if you have any comments here......"
Garcia stopped talking. Instead, he stood there and pondered quietly.
Suddenly, without warning, he punched Helliga in the chest—Hyliga, who was unprepared for this, took it firmly—and it hurt without protection.
“…… You young people's questions, what are you looking for me, a middle-aged man, for! Garcia seemed to be very angry, dropped such a sentence, and walked forward on his own.
“…… Hey......" For a long time, Heiliga just stroked his aching chest and smiled helplessly. From Garcia's point of view, it is very normal to be angry with herself - that is a nest of concern for the Fe and a sense of powerlessness for his current position.
Merely...... In addition to the pain, Heliga noticed one thing: although Garcia's reaction was very violent, he didn't end up saying anything like "you shouldn't do this" - in this sense, he and Faye seem to have the same attitude?
While pondering these questions, Helliga did not talk to Garcia again along the way. Soon, Master Yogguru's "Rozanbeck Doll Workshop" appeared in the field of vision of the two.
