After breakfast, the three of them still wandered around the town as usual.

Victoria, who was reluctant to go out, was fished out by Alan with the bait that "I might go to the bookstore".

Victorica, who barely put on small black leather shoes and a purple dress, awkwardly followed Elian on the country road in early spring.

It was the early spring of 359 in the Irish calendar.

The northernmost town in mainland Ireland, the town of Death.

The town is famous for a flower called Tolvi, and the town that once had the name of Tolvi is now in a dilapidated state.

Of course, the dilapidated does not refer to the outward things such as the houses in the town, but to the hearts of the inhabitants here.

Although the ruin in his heart cannot be seen with the naked eye, the young man with the eyes of death can see it clearly.

The purple dress swayed gently in front of Elian's eyes, pausing from time to time to tease the occasional passing butterfly.

Victoria didn't know when she propped up the umbrella that Elian bought yesterday, and said that her taste was really good, and she picked it up as a cute umbrella. Holding an umbrella and lazily scattering her blond hair on the ground, Victoria looked like a princess in those small kingdoms in the north.

If you throw away the cheeks that are sometimes unhappy, and the emerald green eyes that will stare back when Eren looks at her, she is simply the perfect princess.

"Victoria?"

"What!?"

It seems that Victoria is still angry about being teased by Elian in the morning until her ears are red, is this getting up?

"Where are we going next?"

“。。。 ”

Victoria frowned, turning the umbrella rudely, and did not mean to answer.

"So- how about going to the library?"

"Library?" Hearing the name of the library, Victoria's awkward expression finally improved, and it seemed that she really liked books.

"But... I couldn't get into the library. ”

As if thinking of something, Victoria suddenly lowered her little head and said dejectedly.

"Why? The library is not open ... Ai Lian, who suddenly thought of something, closed his mouth.

Presumably, the townspeople didn't want to see what they thought was a gray wolf in the library.

Is it because of fear of the power of the gray wolf, or is it simply xenophobia?

Only the townspeople themselves knew.

"How about going there?" said Ai Yue as she stood on tiptoe and pointed to a building.

It was a small three-story building, and judging by the broken glass on each floor, it must have been uninhabited for a long time. And although this small building is not far from Victoria's hut, it is completely blocked by dense plants, if it wasn't for Ai Yue to mention it, Ai Lian really didn't find that there was such a small building so close.

But—

"What are you doing there, now is not the time to play adventure games!" said Ai Lian, patting Ai Yue on the head.

"Yes, I thought you were looking for some place where no one was around, and you were going to have a test of courage!"

"It's not Le!"

Ai Lian complained weakly, although he was used to Ai Yue's brain circuit, he couldn't help but complain occasionally.

But when Eren turned around, Victoria was gone.

"Victoria?"

Eren tried to call her name, but of course she didn't get a response.

"Xiao Wei's words, just went to the small building. ”

Just as Eren was calling out Victoria's name for the second time, Ai Yue suddenly said.

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Ai Lian glared at Ai Yue and said dissatisfiedly.

Doesn't that make you look like a fool when you call Victoria's name on the spot?

"You didn't ask!" Ai Yue glared back without showing weakness.

Ai Lian was defeated.

——————————————————————————————————

When Victoria was found at the door of the small building, it was already ten minutes later.

"I said Victoria, don't run around!" "Eren complained dissatisfiedly, "What if I get lost?"

"I'm not going to get lost. Victoria's hoarse voice sounded, but at this time, Victoria did not look at Elian, but stared at the three-story building in front of him.

"I mean, Ai Yue and I will get lost!" said Ellen cheekily, "Since we are locals, we can lead the way!"

"Ai Yue won't get lost, she's very smart!"

"You mean I'm stupid, huh?"

"Yes. ”

"Give me a little more tact," Elian shouted.

"Shhhhh

Just when Ai Lian was angry, an umbrella accurately blocked Ai Lian's mouth, and Victoria looked at the only exit of the small building with a blank face, a red wooden door that had long been rotten.

The red wooden door rattled and slowly opened.

A rather tall middle-aged man appeared in the wooden door, with red hair and a scar on his eye. And as you can see from his face, the age should be around thirty to forty years old.

The middle-aged man was also startled and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"What about you?" asked Eren, holding Victoria and Aiyue behind her.

"It's nothing, it's just an ordinary traveler. The middle-aged man said ambiguous words as he strode out of the small building.

However, when he was about to embark on the right path to the town, the middle-aged man suddenly turned around and said, "If you are here to find treasure, you better leave quickly! ”

"And you, too, are you here to find treasure?" continued Elian's question, not intending to answer anything.

"I'm just looking for something that belongs to me ... The middle-aged man said as he walked towards the town. The gradually decreasing voice slowly reached the ears of the three of Ailian, but by this time, the middle-aged man had disappeared from their sight.

“。。。 That's right. ”

Victoria frowned and said something of unknown significance.

Then she stepped through the red wooden door that was still open.

Before he had time to think about what Victoria's words meant, Ai Lian also pulled Ai Yue to follow Victoria.

Is the secret in this little building?

Although Victoria didn't say it, Eren could see it.

The expression on her face when she looked at the small building was not the indifference she had before, but something else.

Is it nostalgic? Or something else.

Elian didn't know.

But what he knew was that if Victoria wanted to tell him, he would do it.

If she doesn't want to say it, just look at it with her eyes.
