"Do you have any strange tasks for Mermaid Song?"

Lightly sprinkled with the medicine, the barkeeper's brow furrowed slightly, and he picked up the bandage and began to bandage it on Cream's arm—

"Man-eating bees aren't dangerous creatures, but they can be dangerous if you're too careless. If I hadn't thought about going to the mountains today to survey the terrain, you might have confessed there. ”

A wry smile appeared on the corners of Cream's mouth, and he felt the faint pain coming from his wound.

To be honest, this pain was as mild as tickling compared to the previous soul tearing pain.

After a long exhale, he finally spoke, "Thank you...... Little Spirits Boss. ”

The little liquor bandaged the two arms of Cream, and his brows were still tightly locked: "Thank you for not needing, but the problem of your mermaid song really needs to be dealt with by yourself." I'm not blind, and I can see that there may be some conflict between you and your president during this time. ”

Cream was slightly stunned, then closed her eyes slightly, nodded and said, "You really know it......"

Little Spirits sighed and continued, "What about the relationship between the boss and the employee...... I know more or less about this. No matter how good the relationship between the boss and the employee may seem, there will always be many places where it is not so harmonious. But let me tell you, the atmosphere of your guild is actually much better than many of the guilds I've seen. Now, although I don't know the inside story of your guild very well, and I'm not very good at gossiping as an outsider, I still want to say that you and your guild leader should be more considerate. ”

The rain was still pouring outside, but as the sun rose, the sky grew brighter.

Listening to the sound of the rain crashing against the window, Cream tilted his head and looked at the natural music outside that kept drawing thin lines in the air.

Seeing that he didn't seem to want to speak, Little Liquor nodded knowingly. After helping Cream bandage all the wounds on his body, he picked up the hot water and prepared to leave.

It was at this time that ......

"If, one day, you suddenly find yourself bewitched by some kind of power. And this power will make you feel in your heart that everything you thought in the past was wrong, and there is some very powerful force in this world waiting for you to inherit. But gaining this power has a good chance of betraying those closest to you...... It will even make you feel that the people who have helped you, the people who have been very friendly and kind to you, are all pretentious people...... What would you do? ”

Little Liquor turned his head, but saw Cream's eyes full of hesitation.

But after these words were uttered, the Assassin seemed to realize that he had said something strange, and quickly shook his head and said, "No...... Please forgive me for my nonsense. I should never have betrayed those who were friendly to me. It's a guideline as a human being and I should know ......"

Oh, yes...... In fact, everyone knows the truth.

Everyone understands that it is purely a temptation, a terrible trap. Stone Blade...... The praise and praise of the dark power, and the power of promise, are all a deception, in order to stray one's heart.

But ...... Of course, everyone knows this.

It is clear to anyone that one should not give up on what is in front of you and turn your head to acquire powers that may confuse the mind......

"If you're confused, then it's normal to make any choice."

But just as Cream looked out the window at the rain and felt sorry for herself, the slightly deeper voice of the bar owner sounded from behind him again.

Turning his head, Little Spirits poured out the water from the basin, poured a cup of hot water for Cream, and then took a rag and wiped the water stains on the table slightly, and said in a flat tone—

"Since we will be deceived, it means that we human beings have some kind of desire in our hearts, and there is also some kind of shortcoming. But then again, if humans don't have shortcomings and desires, are they still called humans? ”

"The only way to not be deceived is to have no desire. A puppet who can't think, move, think, or do anything will naturally not be seduced by anything. But we can't call such puppets human. ”

"The only thing we can recognize as human beings is that we are not perfect. We are imperfect because we are not able to exaggerate our strength. It is precisely because we know that our willpower may be more fragile than we expect, that we humans always remind ourselves not to forget our original intentions. ”

After wiping the water stains, the little spirits owner turned around and walked into the bar. He took out a piece of toast bread, cut it into two slices, and placed it on the pot next to it to start heating. Then take out some lettuce from under the counter, wash it in the sink, take out a tomato, cut it, and remove the juiciest slice in the middle. Wait until the bread slices on the side are heated and place the tomato slices on top with the lettuce.

He then took out a small piece of meat tied up with string from under the counter, cut off two pieces with a knife and placed them on top. Finally, take a can from the shelf behind you, scoop out some of the rich coffee-colored sauce with a spoon and spread it on top of the slices of meat, and place another piece of heated bread on top of it.

With that done, Little Spirits put the sandwich on a plate, brought it to the table next to Cream, and said, "Eat." ”

Cream struggled to his feet, and after feeling the pain from various wounds on his body, he nodded, tentatively reached out, grabbed the sandwich and took a bite.

"When people are hungry, they want to eat."

"In the same way, when people feel that their strength is insufficient, they will want to gain more power."

Cream looked up, only to see that the barkeeper had somehow returned to the back of the bar, picking up a rag and carefully wiping the glasses. The middle-aged man's face full of vicissitudes was indeed always silent, and he said slowly-

"I've never felt like there's anything to be afraid of admitting my inadequacies. There were even times when I felt like I had the truth and the truth alone, and my friends, family, and partners around me thought I was crazy and thought I was simply unreasonable. At that time, I used to think that they were so ignorant. The feeling that the whole world is the only one who has some kind of truth is indeed lonely, and there is an inexplicable sense of vanity. ”

"But......"

The Little Spirits Boss raised his head slightly, looking at the ceiling. Now, his gaze does not seem to be looking at the ceiling of this bar, but rather to look at some kind of very distant past, stuck in some kind of memory of the past. After a long time, the boss shook his head gently, closed his eyes silently, wiped the glass in his hand again, and said slowly-

"But ah, if your friend thinks you're crazy, then why don't you think your friend is crazy? Even when a person feels that he has been absolutely right, for his family, for his friends, for those who you once believed in and missed so much, what could be more important than opening your heart to them and speaking freely and happily? ”

"Tell them why you hate them. Tell them why you feel like you're right and why you feel like they're wrong. Why do you feel like you have the truth, and why what you see as irrefutable truth is so important to you. ”

"Talk openly and honestly, and say your thoughts, your hesitations, your doubts, your beliefs. Let your companions know what you're worried about, what you're afraid of, what you're worried about. ”

"If they are really your friends, really the best friends you can put your heart to, even if you tell them in front of them why you don't trust them, I'm sure they will accept it and discuss with you what went wrong."

Raising his glass, the little spirits boss scrutinized the transparent glass until he made sure there were no blemishes in it, then he nodded lightly and hung the glass upside down on the cup holder above his head.

"So, let's talk about it. I don't think there's anything easier in the world than talking to my friends. Assassin, what do you think? ”

Cream looked at the barkeeper silently, listening to what he said, and also remembering his depraved and decadent mood for almost four months.

Indeed, that voice in my head is always telling myself that my partner will hurt me and that they will not believe in themselves...... Nature's Blade, on the other hand, will constantly despise himself as a coward, a useless waste.

So...... I really haven't discussed these things with the president and everyone......

As you bite into this delicious sandwich, you will be greeted by a mix of crispy lettuce and juicy tomatoes, as well as the flavorful slices of meat and sauce. Although the food is not as delicious as the pies and cakes cooked by the president himself, this simple sandwich is like a variety of ordinary ingredients that play the most exquisite combination, and the taste is ...... It's really great.

"Thank you...... Little Spirits Boss. ”

Take another bite and finish the sandwich in its entirety. As if he had replenished all his physical strength, Cream felt that the wounds on his body were no longer painful.
