Chapter 148: Stay for a while
"So, what are you going to do?" After taking a sip of the black tea in her hand, Rita put the teacup back on the table, then leaned back and looked at Ronald with a ruffian look on her legs.
"What else? I just want you to talk to Miss Edith about it, and I think she'll think she'll think about your suggestion. Ronald spoke, his gaze directly ignoring someone's expression.
"Do you want Sophia to worship that old man as a teacher?" After thinking for a moment, Rita understood Ronald's thoughts, and at the same time, there was obvious confusion on her face, "But is it necessary to be so troublesome?" If she wants to go to the library, you should be able to give her a pass or something, right? ”
"That's true, but the pass is never as good as its real identity, and if it is caught by someone with a heart, it may cause a lot of trouble for Miss Edith, and don't forget that I want to repay her, not to trouble her in a different way." Ronald frowned and said, in fact, every time he thought of this, he was a little angry, obviously he was the prince, but every time he did something, he had to look ahead and backward, if possible, he really wanted to get rid of all those people.
"Okay, okay, it's not impossible to promise you, but let me tell you in advance, it's Sophia herself who really makes the decision, and I don't want anyone who doesn't have a long eye to come to the door at that time, otherwise you can see what you will do when the time comes." In the end, Rita sat up straight, her eyes fixed on Ronald and her face full of seriousness.
"Of course, I'll keep Navis on the lookout, and try not to disturb you as much as possible, and if, I say, if there's any accident, you can deal with it yourself, as long as you don't tear down the royal capital, or kill either Angelo and Elias, I can help you settle it."
"Haha, I'm just waiting for your words!" Rita stood up directly and laughed twice, but after the laughter fell on Ronald's ears, it made him suddenly have a bad premonition: Was the condition he just agreed to too hasty? No, no, no, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be, and it's ......
Ronald touched his chin and thought about it for a moment, until he was sure that what he had just said was indeed okay, and at this time, Rita had already sat back on the sofa, looking very lazy.
"Yo, I've come back to my senses." Seeing Ronald look up at herself, Rita hooked her lips and teased, "You should have something else to say next, right?" ”
"That's right, tomorrow, uh-huh......" As if thinking of something, Ronald directly took back the unfinished words in his mouth, and Rita didn't urge anything when she saw this, but the old god was sitting there watching Ronald.
"You're supposed to be here for a while this time, right?" After a moment of silence, Ronald asked again.
"Who knows?" Rita spread her hands, looking indifferent, "If she wants to stay here, I may stay here for a while, but it won't be long, after all, I'm used to running around, maybe I'll go to the mercenary union and leave when I take a mission." ”
"Forget it, let's stop here for today." Seeing that Ronald fell silent again, Rita also stood up with her waist stretched for a while, and had no desire to talk any further, "If there are other things, then we will talk about it together tomorrow morning, anyway, there is no hurry." ”
With that, Rita yawned as she walked towards the door, repeating words like "tired" and "sleepy".
"Oh, yes." Suddenly, Rita turned her head to look at Ronald, and at this time, half of her body had already gone out of the door, and one of her hands was on the doorknob, "Don't stay up too long, it's not good for your health, if you really like that person, take good care of your body, otherwise when she comes back, she will collapse first, but it will be more than worth the loss, right?" ”
After the words were closed, Rita closed the door and exited the office, but the words that came out made Ronald a little confused for a while: What does this mean? And also...... The guy I liked......
"Dawn Moon Avelina Evelina."
Unconsciously uttered these words lightly, but the result was that even he felt that it was impossible, after all...... That girl doesn't exist anymore, even Rita has said that the person is not dead, but as time goes by, the results of that search continue to take him between expectations and disappointments, until now......
The next morning, when it was still dark, Rita climbed out of bed and ran out into the yard for her morning exercise, and when she came yesterday, she noticed that what was on the table, if she didn't need to look at it, would have wasted such good conditions. Of course, she naturally asked someone's consent before using it, after all, this is not her home, and there are some things that should be paid attention to.
In addition, Xiao Yueluo was naturally dragged out by her during the morning exercise, of course, the reason why it was "dragged" was not because Xiao Yueluo was sleeping lazily or anything, but because someone got up early in the morning and buried himself in the pile of medical books, and it is unlikely that Xiao Yueluo would have such a situation as sleeping lazily with her work and rest habits. And to be honest, Rita has never felt that this Xiao Yueluo is more real than before, and even her emotional expression is more natural than before, although sometimes it is a habit...... But overall it's pretty good, as if the shackles on your body have been unfastened.
"Come on, come on, let's practice against each other today, let me see how much strength you have now." Pulled Xiao Yueluo to the weapon rack together, and then Rita took out two long swords directly from them, and was about to throw one of them to Xiao Yueluo when she saw her standing there in a daze.
"What's wrong? What are you ......" looked at Xiao Yueluo's line of sight, and finally stopped on a giant sword on the weapon rack, and at the same time felt a pang in his heart, "Why don't you use this, with your strength, you should be able to hold it." ”
Because of Rita's words, Xiao Yueluo didn't hesitate any longer, reached out and took out the giant sword on the weapon rack, and nodded with satisfaction after two times, and Rita showed a smile when she saw her like this, but her heart suddenly became melancholy: How long has it been? Such a scene...... Five years? Or longer? But......
"Come on."
After getting used to the weight on her hand, Xiao Yueluo took a deep breath, as for the distance, it had been opened before, so it was not much of a problem to start directly now.
"Hmm." Rita nodded, at this time, she was holding a long sword in each hand, one on the left and one on the right, and at the same time, her face was also serious, although the one in front of her was no longer the previous Xiao Yueluo, and it was impossible to have the strength she once had, but as a close friend, she could not treat it with a casual attitude anyway, not to mention that she also wanted to see what kind of strength Xiao Yueluo was now, so that she could better protect the person in front of her in the future.
As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Yueluo took the lead in attacking Rita, although the movement was fast, but when it fell into Rita's eyes, it seemed to slow down many times, and she dodged with a slight side.
Immediately after that, a "bang" came into her ears, and then Rita turned to look at Xiao Yueluo, her eyebrows raised slightly, especially after seeing the marks on the masonry floor, and at the same time, she also had a preliminary estimate of Xiao Yueluo's strength in her heart: How to say it? It's nowhere near as good as it was when he was in Evel, but it's much better than most.
"Come again!"
With the giant sword in hand, she rushed towards Rita again, and this time Rita did not continue to dodge, but met her with two long swords.
"Bell!" "Bell!" "Bell!"
A series of collisions, at first Xiao Yueluo's movements were still a little single, but with Rita's guidance and the passage of time, Xiao Yueluo's moves gradually had the shadow of the past, which made Rita a big surprise, you must know that the most important thing in practicing martial arts is a good set of moves, otherwise unless your strength and speed can directly crush your opponent, otherwise the combat ability will be greatly reduced in that small gap.
And just when the two of them were having a good time, Ronald was standing at the window of the office at this time, watching all this expressionlessly, because Rita had told him just now, so he naturally knew that the two of them were practicing martial arts here. As for the weapon rack in the courtyard, it is naturally the one that Xiao Yueluo once used, although it has been placed there since and has not been taken back, but there are special people who are responsible for cleaning and maintaining it every day, and all this is just because of the small expectation in his heart......
Time passed quickly, and it didn't take long for the sun to rise, and Rita and Xiao Yueluo, who felt warm, naturally stopped, of course, even if they stopped, they didn't choose to rest in the gazebo next to them, after all, the temperature outside is still very low, as long as there is no problem with the brain, the cold wind will not blow in that place. But it's also because of this blessing that the two of them didn't watch their morning workout, otherwise Rita would probably have trembling hands.
And after returning to the room, Rita soon pulled out Xiaoyue Luo, who wanted to delve into the sea of books again, and called her "a companion bath". After all, after sweating so much, my body is sticky, and if I don't wash it clean, it will be very uncomfortable all day. Anyway, Rita doesn't know how Xiao Yueluo can endure it, or is her enthusiasm for reading books already exceeding these......
The bathroom that comes with the villa is very large, and the bath also occupies most of this room, probably to be used at any time, so the method used here is also the kind that is very commonly used among nobles, and a brass tiger head is installed on one side of the bath, and hot water flows continuously at the tiger's mouth, and I don't know if it is because there is something similar to ventilation somewhere, so the water vapor in the bathroom is not very strong, just stuck in the degree that does not make people feel cold.
"Ah~" Rita sat in the bath, stretching and letting out a comfortable moan, "If I could, I would really like to stay here every day." ”
"Are you leaving?" Not far away, Xiao Yueluo also leaned against the wall of the bath like Rita, but after hearing her talk to herself, she stood up with a "bang" on her face.
"Well, don't worry." Wiping a handful of the hot water that had splashed on someone's face as someone got up, Rita said a little speechless.
"I'm sorry." Probably because she saw Rita's movements, Xiao Yueluo also understood that she was a little too excited, and then sat back down after apologizing.
"It's definitely going to go, but it's not now." Glancing at Xiao Yueluo's body that was submerged under water except for her head, Rita continued with her previous words, "Besides, you haven't done that thing yet, I think I'll have to stay here for a while." ”
Although Xiao Yueluo has been re-founded, Rita also knows that it is impossible for the two of them to stay together all the time, even if Xiao Yueluo wants to follow her, she can't agree, after all, what she has to do after her can't even be sure that she is safe, if it was the previous Xiao Yueluo, it would be fine, but now...... There was no way she could put this person in danger again, not even the slightest possibility.
