In the east of Grimm Town, in the self-proclaimed Grimm Tavern, I took Bonnie and the others to lunch, and unexpectedly met three knights of the Fordnes family who had come all the way from the Virgin Palace, and even heard the news of Romon's unexpected distress, which aroused my desire to explore.

But I couldn't make it too obvious, so I pretended to be messing with Bonnie while eavesdropping on the conversation from the next table.

"Erders, Thomas, don't drink anymore, there's still action at night. The sun is not early, let's go back to rest, remember that at eight o'clock in the evening, we will meet on the edge of the Green Forest. ”

Molde drank all the wine in the glass, looked at the two companions who were a little drunk, and said solemnly.

"Hehe, got it, don't worry. ”

"Didn't Lord Alice say it, on the side of the greedy wolf, between the moon hooks, at eight o'clock in the night, the starlight appeared. As long as you find the place where the stars shine, you will be able to find the clue to the muscle-growing flower. ”

Erders, who had a scar in the corner of his eye, looked at the serious face of his captain and said with a playful smile.

"Erders, have you drunk too much, how can you say such a thing, Lord Alice's prophecy can't be said casually, have you forgotten the evaluation of that group of witches on the mainland?"

When Thomas heard Erders' words on the other side, his eyes widened in surprise, and the fingers holding the wine glass turned a little white.

"Is the compiler of destiny rather believe in what he has than what he doesn't. ”

"Erders, you've been too presumptuous lately, so you'd better be careful in the future, don't just retell Lord Alice's original paintings, especially those prophetic texts, have you heard?"

Molde muttered softly, as if thinking of something terrible, shook his head, and stared at Erders with a serious admonition.

"Got it, sir, I'll pay attention to it later. ”

Seeing that his boss was a little serious, Erders hurriedly raised the wine glass in his hand and smiled with a smile on his face, promising that he would not do it again.

"Well, so be it, you don't drink anymore. If you delay the business, no one can save you, let's go. ”

Molde, who was in the lead, glanced at Erders, who had drunk another drink, frowned dissatisfiedly, gave the order to disband, and took the lead in leaving the table and going to the guest room to rest.

Thomas glanced at Molde who was leaving, then at Erders, who was still seated, shook his head, picked up the armor and weapons on the stool, and followed up the stairs.

"Phew, what the hell!"

The last remaining Elders took a sip of the wine in the bottle in hatred, carried his mask and weapon, and followed with a curse.

"Uncle Cowell, check out!"

Seeing that the target had left, I was no longer interested in pretending.

Ignoring the aggrieved expression of a certain second-class teenager, "I haven't eaten enough, you are teaseing me", I waved my hand and shouted at Uncle Cowell at the counter.

"Okay, Arya, ten silver coins!"

In the rather noisy tavern, Cowell replied to me in a loud voice.

"Bonnie, these are eight silver coins, handed over to you, we're waiting for you outside. ”

I took out eight silver coins and stuffed them into my hand to Bonnie, whose face was flushed and I had broken it, and I whispered.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. ”

Looking at the big sparkling eyes of the little Lori in front of me, I knew that this time it seemed like I was giving too much.

But I am deeply impressed by this girl's bargaining skills, not only can I buy goods very cheaply, but I can also behave like a family with the merchant, anyway, I can't do it.

"How's it going?"

Outside the door of the Green Tavern, I stared at the grinning little Lori in front of me and said curiously.

"Not much, Uncle Cowell is very nice, and only accepted us five silver coins this time. It's good that I've saved three more silver coins and I'm one step closer to my dream. ”

Looking at Lori in front of me with big eyes shining and obviously daydreaming, I seriously thought about whether to give her just five silver coins next time and see how she bargained.

"Okay, after eating, let's go home and have a good rest. ”

Clearing the childish thoughts in my mind, I said with a smile at the three disciples in front of me.

"Go home?" a scorpion-tailed loli.

"Rest?" a black loli with a glasses belly.

"Eat well?"

"yes? What's wrong?"

Ignoring a certain bastard who only knows how to eat, I looked at the Loli in front of me with a puzzled expression. After thinking about it, did I forget something? No, I don't think I said anything wrong.

"Sister Arya, didn't you say that after eating, you would tell us when you were going to leave Grimm, how you were going to go, and where you were going?"

Bonnie blinked his big eyes and looked at me quizzically.

"Oh, yes? Why don't I remember?"

I had to change the topic again, after all, I had just been inquiring about the news, and I hadn't thought about the initial question at all.

"Yes, Sister Arya, that's exactly what you said before you approached the tavern!

I don't know why, today's Bonnie seems a little stubborn, in the past, she would admit it with a smile when I said this, but today she still pulled the pit boy to refute it together.

But it's still too yuong too simple, do you think I'll admit it?

"Gawen, you said, did I say it? Why don't I remember?"

With a smirk, I stretched out my claws to the trembling second cargo Shota, and I was quite interested in teasing Jiawen in front of me.

"Woo woo woo, you said it clearly, but you said it clearly, you said it!

Suddenly there was a cry, and I was stunned, and so was Jiawen.

A lively and happy Bonnie who always shows a smile suddenly let out a choked sob, which made me a little overwhelmed.

"Don't... Don't cry, yes, yes, it's Sister Arya's mistake, Sister Arya must have said it, baby don't cry, okay?!"

Looking at Bonnie who was crying in front of me with pear blossoms and rain, although I didn't know why, I also felt a panic in my heart for no reason, and hurriedly hugged the little guy and comforted softly.

"Sister Arya, Bonnie doesn't have a home anymore, you don't want me. Bonnie likes you, likes Betsy, loves Gavin. Please do not leave us. ”

Bonnie's hoarse voice tore at me, family?

I have already told myself that I have no home and family, but my heart longing for warmth always makes me constantly struggle in the dark, looking at the little face of the crying person in front of me, the heart that was deeply buried resounded and beating.

"Ah! Sister Arya promises you that she will never leave the lovely little Bonnie, and little Betsy and Gavin, you are my family. Sister Arya will never talk nonsense and make you sad again, okay?"

Holding Bonnie, who was crying into tears, I closed my eyes to prevent the red eyes from being seen by the children, and said what my heart longed for.

I finally knew why Bonnie said that, maybe it was the previous sentence that hit Bonnie's sore spot when he went home, or maybe it was a performance in the tavern that Bonnie noticed and hid a little dull Gavin, but not the attentive and intelligent Bonnie and Bessie.

"Can you guarantee it?"

Bonnie asked as he poked his cute little face out of my arms and stared at me with big red eyes.

"I promise! Sister Arya will never be you cuties. ”

Stretching out my right hand and looking at the children, I said solemnly to them.

"Hmm!" "Hmm!"

Bonnie and Garvin looked at me with a big smile.

"Hmph~ idiot. ”

Betsy, who was standing aside and pretending to be reading, lowered her head and pushed the frame of her glasses on the bridge of her nose, blocking her slightly reddish eyes, and whispering tsundere.

......

That night, in a dilapidated log cabin in the north of Green Town, after returning home with the three little ones, the three little ones fell asleep one after another.

Looking at the three well-behaved children lying on the bed, I felt a rare tenderness in my heart, perhaps this was the mood when Dimir and Michelle looked at me.

The three immature and lovely faces reminded me of the two young and handsome faces that were protecting me outside the Erwin line not long ago, and I was silent for a long time.

"I'm sorry, forgive me, my lovely brothers and sisters, Sister Arya may be breaking her promise today. ”

Looking up at the crescent moon that was gradually rising, I sighed softly and slowly got up.

It's time, Michelle, Demir, Harvey, Kenny....

I still can't forget it!
