At noon, the sky was clear.

On the road outside the small town of Desaifus, a horse-drawn carriage slowly moved out.

The carriage was not big, and it was very simple, the two-wheeled carriage was just enough for three people to sit after putting something on the two-wheeled body, and the roof of the shed was only supported by a few wooden poles, George wanted to buy a better carriage, but there was no way, all the carriages that could be bought in this town were like this, and he didn't have to choose.

In the carriage, George and Millie sat in the back, and Mona sat in the front, barely holding the reins. In front of the carriage, an old gray horse pulled the carriage, with hooves and a body, and slowly marched.

At the intersection of the town, a bald boy watched intently as George's carriage gradually moved away, he bit his lip, and tears flowed from his eyes.

This bald boy is the bald boy who told Mona yesterday afternoon that her family would protect her after dinner - Robben.

Robben had been waiting at Monna's door after eating last night, but he didn't see Mona come home until it was dark, and only Monna's drunken dad was throwing things around the house.

In the anxious waiting, he was afraid that something would happen to Mona, so he ran towards the street, trying to find Mona, but as soon as he ran away, he heard a roar that resounded throughout the town, and then he saw the scene of the battle between George and the silver dragon in the air last night.

Immediately afterward, the silver dragon's scorching breath swept through the area he had been in before, and it was a good thing that he had decided to run out on the fly, otherwise he might have only been left with charred ash now.

The battle between George and the silver dragon ended quickly, Robben saw for the first time that someone could fight with such a big monster, the previous monster that fought with Bahamut could not be compared with the size of this monster this time, in his cognition, the larger the general size of the monster, the more powerful it is. But that man had defeated such a powerful and huge monster like a god.

Robben thought to himself, "If only I could have this kind of power." ”

The silence of the night was shattered by the battle just now, and the streets were full of townspeople running out. Robben tirelessly inquired about Mona, and eventually he learned from a red-nosed man that Mona had been sold to the mayor's house by his father!

This frightened Robben.

He ran anxiously towards the mayor's house, but when he arrived at the mayor's house, he learned that Mona was gone, and said that she had gone back to the tavern with a little green-haired girl and a man with a swollen pig's face to help the drunk Rab to rest. Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as Mona was okay, he rushed home to see if his parents were okay.

Early the next morning, Robben waited for Mona outside the ruins of Mona's house, and Mona's father was nowhere to be found. He believed that Mona would definitely go home today, and while waiting, he was happy to see Mona's figure walking slowly.

"Mona! It's great to see you're okay. Robben excitedly ran to Monna's side, and then sighed and said to Monna: "It's a pity that your house was destroyed, and your father doesn't know where to go." ”

Mona's face was not happy to see her friend, nor was she saddened by the destruction of her house and the disappearance of her father. She walked past Robben, looked at the ruins that were originally her home, and only replied to Robben behind her flatly: "Hmm." ”

Robben felt that today's Mona was a little different from usual, but he couldn't say it, he hesitated a little, and said to Mona: "Why don't you come to live in my house recently, and then move in after I help you build a new house?" ”

Mona turned around and looked into Robben's eyes, looking at each other, and Robben avoided Monna's gaze a little shyly.

Seeing Robben's reaction, the corners of Mona's mouth rose slightly, and she said with a light smile: "Robben, I'm leaving town." ”

Mona's words surprised Robben and asked, "What...... What the! Leave! Mona, where are you going? ”

"In the future, I will follow Master George, and I will go wherever he goes."

Robben lowered his head and asked in a deep voice, "Who is George?" ”

He didn't dare to look up, he was afraid that looking up would make Mona see his uncompetitive tears rolling in his eyes.

"He's the one who saved me from defeating the monster yesterday."

Robben had a thousand reasons to ask Mona, but when the words came to his mouth, he just asked:

"Why?"

"Because he is a strong man, I just need to follow the strong man, so that I can live better in this world."

“……”

Mona looked at Robben, who was silent with her head down, she stepped forward and kissed Robben's bald head gently, and then whispered in his ear, "Goodbye, Robben." ”

With that, Mona turned and left.

The sound of Mona's departing footsteps became quieter and quieter, but Robben's heartbeat became more and more intense.

The tears he struggled to keep from falling finally fell to the ground. He looked up at Mona's back, tears blurring his vision, and Mona's back swayed away in his tearful eyes...... Disappear.

"Is this what it feels like to have a heartache?"

Robben clutched his chest.

He felt that his heart was getting farther and farther away with Mona from his distance, he wanted to have a pair of invisible hands to keep Mona who was far away, but it was all in vain, he still had a lot to say to Mona, but the qi and blood surged violently, making his throat drier and drier, and he opened his mouth several times, but he didn't make a sound.

"Maybe Mona would be better off with the man who could easily defeat the monster." Robben comforted himself in his heart.

He looked at his hands and sobbed and thought, "Power...... If only I ...... Wouldn't it be nice to have that kind of power, too...... Mona won't leave. ”

……

Outside the town.

At this time, watching Mona set up the carriage farther and farther away, Robben, who was in tears, grabbed the dirt on the ground with both hands and threw it around.

Robben, who was venting indiscriminately, knelt on the ground, the five fingers of his hands slamming into the ground.

He hated his weakness, he hated his incompetence, and even more so he hated his weakness, he had neither the power of the apocalypse, nor the ability to use magic, or even the courage to say "I like you" to Mona at the end.

He kept shouting in his heart: "I want to have power, I want to be strong, and only by becoming strong can I have Mona's heart." ”

What Robben didn't know was that there was also a person not far from him watching the carriage of the three Georges leave.

The man's face was swollen like a pig's head, and he slowly turned his gaze to Robben, and then said faintly, "What a strong desire." ”

Arthur, the "pig's head", slowly walked up to Robben.

Robben, who was kneeling on the ground, felt that someone was coming, and at this time, he looked up at the person who was a little out of control.

"Fuck off! Don't bother me, you swollen pig's head! ”

Arthur didn't care about the boy in front of him who insulted him, he deliberately said in a tone full of temptation: "Boy, do you want to be strong?" ”

……

George's carriage drove alone on a sheep's intestine path, which was almost devoid of pedestrians and carriages.

Mona had been engrossed in getting used to driving the carriage, and although she had studied with the adults before, she had had little contact with her, so she was very rusty, and every once in a while the carriage would deviate, and it would take a lot of effort for her to pull it back.

George and Millie sat in the back and listened to the music with one headphone, George was bored admiring the various strange creatures along the way, and Millie was listening to the music intently.

Seeing that the carriage had deviated from the direction again, the bored George wanted to tease Mona, so he said, "Mona, are you showing off your carriage positioning skills when you are turning around like this?" But you're really in a different way, every time you can run to the side of the road and press the stones and turn back, are you deliberately doing this to refresh our minds! ”

"That's not it, George, I'm ...... I'll try to make it right. Mona said nervously.

As she spoke, Mona tilted her body and pulled the horse's head hard, pulling the direction back, but she didn't have time to pull back because she was too strong, so the carriage turned around in place for more than a moment before she adjusted.

George held the car bucket to keep his balance, he didn't dare to tease Mona, the "female driver", let her concentrate on driving the carriage, don't wait for someone to turn the horse on his back, this fun will be great, he doesn't want his carriage to "die before he gets out of the school".

He would have liked to drive the carriage himself, but his skills were not as good as Mona, who at least could make the old horse walk.

He tried it a few days ago when he got the carriage ready, but this old horse just didn't give face, and he couldn't move no matter how he pumped.

Originally, he wanted to hire someone to drive in the town, but because the town was now in the busy farming season, and the small population of the town was basically all busy with farm work, he couldn't hire a groom at all.

Originally, George wanted him to take him away, but coincidentally, Mona, the "coolie", was sent to the door when he was about to leave.

Although she looked weak, George believed that a good workout could still help her, and she was Millie's only friend, so Millie wouldn't have to be around him every day.
