"Click, click. The four girls slowly walked into their own cabin. Maggie, who was doing the work of a servant, did not follow, and she offered to help her colleagues calm the other passengers, and she would come back very late, and this thoughtful initiative made the girls who needed a private space to calm down have a better impression of her.

Pushing open the door of the cabin, the magic circle used to cool down has been closed for a while, and now it has just been restarted, and there is still a dull heat in the cabin, but the girls do not care about such a slight discomfort, and can't wait to get into the cabin.

"I'm tired. Lina, who was the first to enter the cabin, tore off the glasses on the bridge of her nose, and threw herself somewhere, ignoring the image of her clergyman, and slammed it into the living room carpet, resting her head on her arms, stretching her body hard, and letting out a seductive moan. After stretching a long lazy waist, Lina looked up at the ceiling and repeated softly with her eyes blurred, "I'm really tired, I just suddenly feel so tired." ”

"It's really tiring. Vivien tore off her scholar's robe a few times and quickly changed into a blue work dress for adventure, as if only such an outfit could give her enough courage. After changing her clothes and holding the staff with a rough surface in her hand, Vivien felt a sense of peace of mind, picked up the bench that had become chaotic due to the vibration, straightened it, and lay down on it, squirming a few times on the soft bench before closing her eyes and continuing: "I wasn't even so tired from fighting that god before, I feel that the psychological pressure is too great. ”

Catherine shook her injured right hand, and although the muscle damage had been healed by Lina, the feeling of swelling was still faintly there. Of course, Catherine knew very well that it was just an illusion of limb retention, so instead of being like Lina and Vivien, the two tricksters, she lifted up the coffee table in turn, put the various items on the coffee table back into place, and arranged the benches that were crooked all over the floor in order. It was only after all this that Catherine sat down on the bench, and even then she remained in her habitually dignified position. Sitting on the bench, Catherine sighed softly and said abruptly: "What I thought just now was very simple, but after I really calmed down, I suddenly found that my heart was very chaotic. Oh, I'm sorry, my sisters, I was supposed to adjust the atmosphere just now, but I didn't dare to say a word to him directly, and I had to rely on Lina to support the scene. But Lina, you're really good, you can talk to him so naturally at that time. ”

"No kidding, I would have run away a long time ago, and it was Miranda who was talking to him. Lina put a book on her face, blocking her expression, and said in a muffled voice: "Let me face this psychological pressure directly, I guess I will cry on the spot." ”

"You're still so fond of running away, but there's nothing wrong with that. Catherine sighed faintly and smiled wryly, "But I'm pretty much the same." I'm not qualified to say anything about you. ”

"What should we do in the future?" Vivien, who was lying on the bench, suddenly opened her eyes, and said with blank eyes, "No wonder he has been hiding from us, now everything will be different." ”

"I don't want to lose a family member, I want my family to be the same as it used to be. Catherine pressed her hand to her chest and felt a burst of sourness in her heart: "I still want to barbecue in the backyard together, I want to bask in the sun together, and I want to catch him from the courtyard wall and the tree every day." But is it really possible?"

"Eldest sister, didn't you do very well just now?" Lina looked at Catherine with anticipation and said pleadingly: "He also said that he is still Pannis, that is, he has no intention of leaving, he still wants to continue to be with everyone." ”

"That's just my attitude towards him, and my reaping of his attitude. However, the problem is not with him, but with us. Catherine smiled bitterly, "Can we really face him like we used to? If it was just like the atmosphere just now, I'm afraid that both he and ourselves would be very miserable." It won't take a few days, not only will he not be able to stand it, but we ourselves will also not be able to stand it. Instead of such a desperate separation, it is better to take the initiative to separate now when everyone still has a good impression of each other. ”

"I don't want to. "I don't want it either. ”

Lina and Vivien's unhesitating answer made Catherine tap on the arm of the chair and said angrily, "Of course I don't want to do this, but if the current situation continues, this is the inevitable result." If everyone can treat him sincerely as before, the contradiction will naturally no longer exist. So now it's not a question of whether you want it or not, but whether you can or can't, can you, me, each of us, do you do it?"

The three girls fell silent, no one answered, no one dared to say that they could do it, because they knew very well that they could not do it, that they could not ignore some subtle changes and be the same as before.

"Alas. Catherine sighed from the bottom of her heart, and her dignified sitting posture collapsed, and her body was buried deep in the soft chair.

"So, I don't really understand. Freya followed everyone into the door, but she went straight to the small bar next to the restaurant, where at least half of the wine in the bar was broken, but Freya wasn't targeting them. After rummaging through the messy bar, Freya found a delicate metal teapot as she wished, skillfully brewed a pot of black tea, walked into the living room, poured a cup for each of the melancholy girls, and then walked to the broken window with her own cup, looked at Pannis sitting in the sea from afar, and asked in a low voice: "I don't understand the problem of the three of you, are you hating him for deceiving you now?"

"How could it be. Lina covered her face with a book and said in a muffled voice: "It's not that you don't know, it's the principle of our family not to ask about the past, and he hasn't said anything for sure about himself, so there is no such thing as deception." ”

"Then I don't understand. Freya seemed to be really confused, tilted her head and asked, "Who did you think he used to be?"

"We all thought that he might be a Legendary-level master who had been hit hard by the psychological blows. Catherine replied, "I thought so until yesterday, and never thought he would be a demigod out of specification." ”

"Is there any difference?" Freya asked, "A legendary master with an abnormal heart has become a demigod with an abnormal heart, but there is a little error in the estimation of strength, do you need to be so entangled?"

"How can it be so simple, the difference is very big, it's like ...... It's like ......" Lina thought for a long time, and suddenly thought of an appropriate way to describe it: "It's like thinking that the relatives around me used to be a pope with lost faith, but suddenly one day I found that this was not the case at all, it was not a pope at all, but a god walking directly in the world." ”

"Yes, that's pretty much the difference. Catherine and Vivien nodded at the same time: "After all, the difference between a legend and a demigod is too great. ”

"I don't feel that way. Freya blew on the teacup she was holding in her hands and whispered, "I think it's the same." ”

"Of course, your father is one of the demigods. Catherine smiled bitterly: "You see him every day, of course it is impossible to feel like this, we are different." ”

"Big sister. Vivien sat up and said to Catherine, "Didn't your grandfather do the same?"

"I don't have a memory of my grandfather. Catherine said, "Of course it won't be like Freya." ”

"You see, that's the problem. Freya said: "You still haven't reversed this perception yourself, whether it's a demigod, a legend, or an ordinary person, there is no difference between family and friends. The key question is, do you treat him as family, or what do you think of him in your heart?"

"He's like a brother. Although he seems stupid sometimes, he is very good to me, he will chat with me when I am bored, he will find a way to make me happy when I am unhappy, he will help me solve problems when I am in trouble, and he will help me solve problems when I don't know, just like a brother who cares about me and takes care of me. He did to me the same as you did to me, you are sisters, he is brothers, I am sisters. The corners of Vivien's mouth curled, and her voice was filled with rare tenderness and happiness: "That's how it feels." ”

Catherine pinched Vivien's face dotingly, and then said faintly: "I'm different, I've had three times in my life when I was most desperate, the first time was a rainy night when I was a child, and that time I was lucky enough to survive alone. The second time was in the sewers of the City of Innocence, and the third time was not so long ago. The last two times, I already felt like I couldn't survive, but every last moment of despair, I heard his voice. So I ...... him in my heart Well, I don't know. ”

"Eldest sister, your answer is too cunning. Lina crossed her arms and snorted dissatisfiedly, "I'm a madman, everyone thinks so. Besides you, he was the first one who recognized my friends as a normal person to a certain extent and would take the initiative to understand me and support me. And in the ruins of Angus Village, in order to continue to hide his identity and save me, he did not hesitate to unlock the seal on his body, and even if this happened to him, he had no intention of breaking it, which shows how important it is to him. So, I look at him...... Hehe, I don't know. ”

"You're not just as cunning. Freya rolled her eyes, looked out the window and said, "He's already back, and he's about to get on the boat, so think about it again when it's the last time." ”

"Perhaps......" Catherine said uncertainly, "to make clear to him the contradictions in our hearts, and hope that he will give him a little more time to adjust?"

"It's a good idea, right? Freya took a sip of black tea and whispered, "But, it's just stalling, isn't it?"

Silence fell again, and the girls' hearts continued to rise and fall in silence, but no one wanted to take the initiative to make a sound, and only the sound of the heartbeat still echoed in the silent room. (To be continued.) )
