Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Unique Tenderness

"Mr. Pannis. Through the window, she could hear voices outside, and Maggie shouted down from the deck, "The stairs for boarding don't seem to be very sensitive, you wait a minute, the captain has already sent someone to check." ”

Boom, boom, two times in a row, Pannis shouted under the boat: "No, you see, I have already repaired it, and you have to pay me for the overhaul." ”

"I was kicked by you. Little Maggie's voice sounded angry, and she complained, "You're always like this, and our workload is going to get bigger." Really, can you stop burdening us anymore? ”

"Little Maggie, you're so sad for me, I'm obviously helping. The ridicule in Pannis's voice had almost reached the point of substance: "Why don't you accompany me to have a cup of tea, let's talk about life, and I won't add any more burden to you?" Hey, don't throw things down from a high place, it's dangerous, it's going to die." ”

"Phew, bah, bah. Maggie sounded like she grimaced, and said coquettishly, "You can go in your dreams, ignore you, I'll go to work." ”

"It's not cute at all. Just below the window, Pannis grumbled as he stepped up the boarding stairs.

"Huh. Freya leaned her back against the window frame, looking at the silent girls with some concern. It wasn't that she couldn't understand the complicated feelings of the girls, but from her point of view, there was no position to persuade and comfort the girls, and the girls had a knot in their hearts, and this knot could only be untied by themselves, and there was no room for help from others.

Demigods were creatures of a very special place in the Yala worlds of the Third and Quaternary Ages, especially among humans. As Lina just described, for humans, demigods are often as unattainable as gods, and many people may not have the opportunity to come into contact with one in their lifetime. Catherine and the three are not bad, after all, they go in and out of the Adventurer's Guild and the Mage Guild, and occasionally communicate with the two demigod presidents Odin and Antuin, and they still have a certain immunity to the identity of demigods, if they are other ordinary low-level professionals, I am afraid that after knowing that Pannis is a demigod, they would have fainted with excitement.

But that's all Catherine and the three of them do, and now this reaction is normal, after all, they are different from Freya herself, and the contact with the demigods has reached the point of boredom, and they can't keep a calm heart to treat Pannis for the time being, which is also completely acceptable, if they are given a little more time, they should indeed be able to return to their old attitudes.

"There's nothing wrong with procrastination. Freya looked up at the pale blue painted roof, her side face dyed golden by the sunlight shining through the window. Freya held the teacup in front of her chest and whispered: "Time often has unimaginable power, it can transform sorrow and sorrow into happiness and relief, it can also make the bonds of the past transform into today's concern, in the ...... of time"

"Freya, I'm so tired right now that I really don't have the strength to knock on you. Vivien sat on the bench and said with a glazed gaze, "Excuse me, how about finding a place to hit your head hard and shut up?"

"Huh. Freya smiled and said softly: "Actually, I just want to say that you don't need to worry so much, if he really cherishes the bond between you, then it is impossible for him not to give you time, if he really cares about you as you say, then how can he see you sad and finally separate from you?" In other words, if he really left this house soon for such a thing, it means that you don't have much place in his heart, and are just ordinary beings who are a little better than strangers, so why should you bother with such a person?"

"You do have a point. Catherine's eyes rose with anticipation, and she bit her lip and said, "Maybe it's really that we think too much, maybe things aren't that bad." ”

"yes, I think that's it. Freya nodded, "Maybe he's also struggling now, and he's taking the initiative to find a way to help you adjust your mentality and return to your usual life." ”

"Ha, I hope it's like what you say. Catherine sighed quietly, looked at the hatch of the room, and said, "According to the time, he should have arrived too." ”

"Squeak", the somewhat deformed door was pushed open again, making a strange sound. Pannis, flapping at his wet clothes, walked in with the unique scent of seawater. As soon as he entered the door, he didn't feel the solemnity in the air in the cabin at all, and he showed a bright smile to the girls, raised his hand and shook it, and said, "Yo, I'm back." ”

The stupid way of greeting made the corners of Catherine's mouth twitch, and she got up with a reluctant smile on her face to greet her: "You're back, is it smooth to contact the Sea Clan?"

"Of course, how could I not do things well. Pannis shook the water vigorously and walked into the living room: "I have received their reply, they will be here around evening, and they can pass on the news when the time comes." ”

"That's good. Catherine's mind was not on the Sea Clan, after standing up, she circled around the long coffee table for half a circle, greeted Pannis and said: "You came back just now, there are some things, I think I must make it clear to you in advance, it is related to the future of this family, I hope you can listen to it." ”

"What's the matter, so solemn, I'm sure...... Oops!" When Pannis and Catherine were about to meet at the coffee table, Pannis suddenly tripped over the edge of the carpet and fell straight forward under the action of inertia and gravity. Catherine, who was walking towards Pannis, happened to walk in front of Pannis, because her mind was all focused on the idea of the upcoming conversation, and she couldn't react in time at all, and was thrown to the ground directly by Pannis. The place where they fell was just between the bench and Lina, and the action of falling scared Lina as well.

So, with a bang, tragedy struck, and when the shaking of the deck stopped, there was a sad scene in the cabin.

Catherine fell to the ground on her back, her mouth growing in surprise and looking overwhelmed. Pannis lay on top of Catherine, her face buried in the middle of Catherine's chest. And Pannis's left hand struggled outward to catch something during the fall, but the moment it landed, it happened to grasp Lina's chest lying on the carpet with her arms on her pillow, and her fingers sank deeply, leaving a wrinkle in her clothes.

The air froze, and Vivien and Freya's eyes widened as they watched the dramatic scene unfold in front of them.

"Dear Mr. Pannis. Lina leaned up and stared at the hand that clung to her chest as if she didn't understand what was happening, her face changing like a rainbow until it was a vivid red, her fair and pretty face tense, and the crescent-shaped scar on her forehead trembled with her eyebrows. Under the flushed face, it even gave people the illusion that her silver hair was red at the roots because of congestion. Lina took a deep breath, looking at the hand that still hadn't let go of her chest, her voice was like the wind of death blowing from the permafrost ice field, and the cold was unforgettable: "Excuse me, what are you doing, can you give me a brief explanation?"

"Mistake, mistake, misunderstanding. Pannis sat up abruptly, his hands unconsciously propped up as he stood up, causing the corners of Lina's eyes to twitch again. Pannis, who sat up, broke out in a cold sweat, took a few steps back with his hands and feet, shook his hands in a panic and said, "Listen to me, listen to me, it's just an accident, it's really just an accident." ”

"Hehehehe, I know, it's an accident, life will always be full of all kinds of accidents, I understand. Catherine hung her head, looking at the two rows of tooth marks on the dress on her chest, the redness on her face had spread to her eyes, even her eyes were red, the blood vessels on her forehead were beating with a visible amplitude, her hand was pressed on the hilt of the thin sword, but her voice was full of tenderness, tenderness before the execution: "Don't worry, I will listen to your explanation, at least in front of your tombstone." ”

"No, no, no, I don't want a tombstone. Pannis, who was already incoherent, said with fear on his face: "I really didn't mean it, it's the carpet, and the carpet is the sinner." ”

"Hehehehehe. The victim stood up from the ground with stiff movements, Lina clenched her fist, Catherine drew her rapier, and the two girls approached Pannis step by step with a calm and peaceful smile on their faces: "That's right, we know that the carpet is the sinner." ”

"Help, help, it's terrible, the two of them are terrible. Pannis rolled over and fled to the other side of the living room: "Kill, help." ”

The two girls clenched their teeth and suddenly activated, like two furious armored bulls, each clenching their fists and thin swords, chasing after Pannis's back with red eyes, and for a moment the room was like a murder scene, echoing Pannis's desperate screams and the two girls' broken laughter. Vivien and Freya looked at each other for a while, Vivien suddenly tilted her head, smiled between her eyebrows, bit her fingers and thought about it, suddenly smashed her palm, cheered loudly and waved her staff, and naturally joined the chase.

"Well, it seems that there is a more effective way besides time. It's just that Mr. Pannis's gentle way is still so unique, hehehe. Freya leaned back against the window, took another sip of black tea, looked up at the white clouds in the sky, and whispered to herself: "Maybe the relationship between most people will be as fickle as the white clouds in the wind, but I think there will always be some people, the relationship between them is more like the sky under the white clouds, which may be obscured by clouds for a while, but it will never change." This kind of weather is really good, well, black tea is really good. ”

Drinking the rest of the black tea in one gulp, Freya threw the cup away, held her chin and was stunned for a while, a gentle smile appeared on her chubby face, coughed lightly, quietly pulled out the spar gun, and silently joined the ranks of the girls, shouting slogans such as Mr. Pannis, I love you.

So, the atrocities in the cabin continued, and there was no end in sight. (To be continued.) )
