Chapter 18: Never Known
Marina opened her mouth and looked stupidly at Lulunaka as she appeared in front of her. Lulunaka in front of her was still wearing a simple dress, and there were a lot of stains on her clothes and face, and she reached out to wipe it, before she came to Marina, raised her head slightly, and looked at Marina, "This young lady, do I know you?"
"You're Lulunaka, aren't you?" Marina asked, her voice shaky.
"Yes, I'm Lunaka. Lulunaka tilted her head, puzzled, "Where did you meet me, from a friend?" ”
Marina reached out to touch Lulunaka to see if she was real, but when her hand was raised, she withdrew it - her hand was shaking, and if she did something strange, she might be taken as suspicious.
"Do you remember the other day?" asked Marina.
Lulunaka frowned, looking like she didn't understand what Marina was saying, "I stayed in the store for the other day, and I was so busy that I didn't even leave the door. Speaking of which, Lulunaka turned her head to look at Pasta, "Speaking of which, the sky turned blue all of a sudden the other night, and I was dumbfounded, right, uncle?"
Pasta nodded in response. This middle-aged man is indeed Lulunaka's uncle, but Marina can't confirm whether this Lulunaka in front of her is the Lulunaka she met, she feels that the person in front of her is so real, it is not an illusion at all.
Listening to Lulunaka's words, the day the starry sky turned blue, she didn't look like she was going out at all...... But what the hell is the Lulunaka that Marina met in the sewers, are there two people who look exactly the same in the King's Castle? Marina didn't think she would encounter such an unbelievable thing, but it seemed to happen right in front of her eyes.
Marina had an impulse, she grabbed Lulunaka's shoulders with both hands, "You really don't know what happened underground that day? I was there with you at the time, and then you ......" Her voice became a little higher, but when she saw Lulunaka's eyes, she couldn't say anything more.
Lulunaka's eyes were full of doubts, and looking at Marina's eyes, it was exactly like looking at a stranger.
Marina let go of Lulunaka, "I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape. ”
Lulunaka shook her head, "It's okay, did something happen to you?" she asked.
Marina didn't know how to answer, did she want her to say that she had met someone exactly like her, and that person saved her life and died in her place?
"It's nothing, a friend of mine, who looks like you. Marina said to her. Hearing this, Lulunaka showed a very interested expression, "Do you look like me? Can I meet your friend?"
"My friend is dead. Marina said. Lulunaka gave an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry. ”
"It's not your fault, there's no need to apologize. Marina barely smiled.
"It's a sad thing for you to lose that friend, I know, I always feel lonely and sad when my family or friends are gone. Lulunaka took Marina's hand, closed her eyes, and pulled her hands in front of her, "But it will all pass, and I don't want to see you sad like this, I don't want to see you like this." ”
Marina knew that Luluna was comforting herself, but she still couldn't let go. Is the dead Lulunaka her friend? Marina doesn't know, it's just a chance encounter, and then a relationship that they will never see again, whether it is a friend or not, but Lulunaka did lose her life for herself, something she has been unable to let go of these days.
The girl, who also bears Lulunaka's name, said something philosophical to her that she should not be able to say at her age. It all passes, but until she is relieved, Marina doesn't know how many sleepless nights she will have to endure.
Luluna mentions the people who are gone, and Marina remembers her teacher. The teacher who has already entered the earth once said that she is not a passing mage because she does not have a cold heart. Marina has always wanted to prove to her teacher that even if she is like this, she can become a great mage. But now, Marina finally realizes that what her teacher said may be right.
She didn't have a diamond heart, and she might not be able to go down the path of a mage at all, just the death of one person made her so confused that she couldn't recover at all.
"It's not a bad thing to be sad, miss. Lulunaka's words woke Marina out of her trance, and Lulunaka's tiny palm warmed her. "Although everything will pass, it doesn't mean that it won't be remembered, although it is a bad memory, but this is the same as those good memories, and it will become everything to you. ”
Listening to Lulunaka's words, Marina was silent for a long time, and chuckled, no longer the smile she had barely made, although her smile was still full of bitterness, "These words are not something that a girl can come up with." ”
Lulunaka smiled a little embarrassedly and looked at Pasta, "I heard my uncle say these things, and I thought it was very interesting, so I wrote them down." ”
Pasta didn't react and continued to drink tea there as if he hadn't heard.
Marina looked at Pasta and thought to herself that it was quite reasonable for an older man to say such a thing.
Although there was still a knot in her heart, Marina was freed from that suffocating state. Maybe it was because she saw another Lulunaka and hypnotized herself, she was alive and well, right? She felt that she was a bit of a mean person, so she could forgive herself - thinking of this, Marina felt as if she was about to run out of breath again.
"I'm looking in the wrong place and with the wrong people to disrupt your business. Marina said to Lulunaka, "Then I'm ......."
"Wait, I have something for you. Seeing that Marina was about to leave, Lulunaka pulled out her hand and ran behind the counter, disappearing from Marina's sight. Then she got up from the counter and walked towards Marina.
"A small gift for you is considered a guest to be a benefit for your first visit. Lulunaka smiled at Marina and slipped a gadget into her hand.
