Chapter 25 The Reason for the Existence of "Home".
Boom, accompanied by thunder, the rain that had lasted for a day finally could no longer bear it anymore and fell with a bang.
The members of the Mermaid Song Guild sat around the table as usual, and after Arrow served the last dish, Coco quickly picked up the milk jug and poured a full glass for Arrow.
No one spoke, even though the dinner was so delicious.
Even Napa was just licking the milk in her bowl, her little tongue making a clattering sound and sucking milk, but she didn't lift her head.
Arrow rolled up the macaroni with a fork and put it in his mouth, and after chewing twice, his eyes finally fell on Coco beside him.
Coco also noticed Arrow's eyes, but he lowered his head even more, looking like he didn't dare to look at anything or say anything.
"You've ever seen that eyeball magic array clasp?"
Arrow asked, Brad looked dazed, and shook his head with great certainty, he couldn't be more honest. Then, his eyes fell on Coco along with Parfay.
For a long time, for a long time. Even after a long time when Napa was full of milk, she floated back to the cushion on the counter and snored......
"That man...... The one who is the eye of truth......"
I don't know, I don't know, I haven't heard of it.
Arrow looked at Brad and Parfay again, both of whom were equally cute.
Well, it doesn't look like I'm alone.
Everyone's eyes drifted to Coco again, waiting for her to continue. It took a long time for this little girl to say timidly under the pressure of this kind of sight—
"The True Eye is a wizard's guild. Their guild will only admit mages as members...... So, they may not be huge, but each member is amazing! But...... But that's not why I'm afraid of them......"
"What I'm really afraid of...... I'm scared of...... I'm afraid of ......"
After repeating it several times, Coco looked up tentatively into Arrow's eyes, as if hesitating whether to say what was in her heart. After seeing Arrow's gentle eyes, she finally made a decision-
"I'm afraid...... They're amazing, that's it...... That's it. ”
When Brad and Parfay looked confused, Arrow felt that he might have played the bosom brother for a long time, so that the little girl could not see her stern side, thinking that many things could be fooled. This is the state...... To be honest, it's a bit bad.
"Coco, there are some things I want to make clear to you. Although I said it a long time ago, maybe you are used to being here, so you have forgotten a little. ”
Arrow took a sip of milk, and his tone seemed serious. This kind of serious attitude is very different from the previous "gentle elder brother", which made Coco stunned for a moment, and raised his head to look at his own president.
"I told you before, you are here with me, I will take care of your food and lodging, and you want to help me complete the work commission and make money. It's a place to take advantage of each other, not a welfare home or a charity. I want all members to love each other as family. But I am also opposed to any 'family member' not working at home, not working. ”
These words were already harsh, especially for a little girl who was only twelve years old.
"The guild is indeed a safe haven, but it is not a paradise for everyone to live here too comfortably. Guilds need to operate and have income so that they can sustain their daily expenses and development. It is only when there is income that this place can continue to be a safe haven. ”
"I repeat here that I don't mind anyone hiding their thoughts until anyone wants to tell their secrets. But when it comes to a mission, I hope that everyone can do their best. ”
"Maybe you will be scared and embarrassed by the task, and you will feel that it is too dangerous for you to avoid it. But I also want you to understand that the moment you flinched, the rest of our guild stepped up. Maybe, I mean maybe. Perhaps it was because the other members lacked your share of protection that caused your comrades to suffer devastating damage. Once this happens, it's not like you can solve it perfectly by hiding in your comfort zone alone. ”
"If the adventurers of the Adventurer's Guild are short of manpower, then their jobs will be cut and their income will be reduced. The lack of numbers can make tasks more difficult to complete, leading to a vicious cycle. ”
"Therefore, the most important thing for a guild is to take care of each other and support each other. This is not some kind of warm chicken soup discourse, but from an economic point of view, the more cohesive a guild is, the more money it can earn. Therefore, even if there is fear, even if there is some secret that cannot be spoken, as long as this person is willing to go with the other members of the guild when they are on top, then even if there is no great difficulty, there is no need to be afraid. ”
Arrow lifted his hand and suddenly pressed it against Coco's shoulder. This action made Coco obviously startled, and she looked up at her president, only to find that Arrow had regained a gentle expression and looked at her-
"I want all the members to know that even if you have something to fear, it's okay if you don't say it. Because at all times, there is a guild behind you, and each member of our guild can share the fears and sorrows of the others. Whenever, wherever. After eating, clean up and disperse. ”
Arrow finished pulling his macaroni in two bites, shook his head to pack up today's income, and went upstairs to his room. Brad and Parfay looked at Coco, and after a few moments, they also carefully put away their own dishes and chopsticks.
It took a long time for the little necromancer to finish his share of food, pick up the dishes and chopsticks and enter the kitchen, and after cleaning up, he hurried back to his room.
Smack.
The moment her door closed, Arrow in the next room quietly opened a crack in the door and looked at the little girl's door.
"Alas, it's really hard for a little girl of this age...... I don't want to say anything. ”
Muttering, Arrow closed the door again.
But if you think about it, it seems that you are at this age where you don't want to say anything.
It's a pity that I didn't take ideological and political classes well when I was in school, and I don't know if my persuasion is useful.
I hope I don't make it self-defeating, if I wake up tomorrow morning, only to see my own necromancer say goodbye, then I will be embarrassed.
After turning and turning, Arrow finally fell asleep.
The next morning, when the president opened the door with trepidation, he went to the guardrail on the second floor......
"Good morning, brother president."
When I saw this little girl with a spirit on her face, she put on her robe and took the little withered branches, and stood in the middle of the hall on the first floor with a look of waiting......
Arrow knew that he could let go of his hanging heart first.
