Chapter 64: Nursery Rhymes

When Jack and Tifa stepped on the red carpet laid out in the church and walked to the bench near the door, the girl asked curiously, her eyes widened as if she remembered something. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"Ah, by the way, what's your name?"

Tifa turned around with Jack in his arms,

"My name is Jack, Jack Scarlett!"

"I'm Tifa Lockhart, Master Jack's bodyguard. Tifa's voice was very flat, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, but she couldn't see the gentleness of the past, maybe it was Jack's closeness to the girl that made Tifa have an inexplicable sense of crisis, so her eyes were vigilant.

When Tifa finished his introduction, Jack asked with some eagerness, "What about you?"

"My name is Margaret Robin, you can call me Robin or Maggie, ah, wait, no, you can't call me Maggie, we don't know each other yet, you might as well call me Robin!"

The childish movements and expressions formed a huge contrast on this super-good girl, making both Jack and Tifa want to laugh. Unlike Jack, who puffed out her mouth to endure, Tifa's crisp laugh curled her eyebrows, and her heart suddenly relaxed, feeling that her jealousy of this innocent girl was too petty—she wasn't such a calculating person.

"Okay, Robin!" Tifa replied with a smile whispering Margaret Robin's name.

"No problem, Robin, if you call me Jack too!" Jack grimaced as he laughed, feeling the pain in his leg lessen.

"Of course that's fine. Robin nodded, walked over to Jack and Tifa, and said, "Come on, come with me, I'll take you to the music house." ”

"Music house?" asked Jack, a little curiously.

"It's a prayer house that will enhance the power of our priest's magic...... It's just that I prefer to call it the Music House, because, ah, wait until you'll know, it's super nice to sing and play the piano there~~" Robin turned around and explained, then took another step and led the way.

Jack and Tifa, who were walking behind, hurriedly followed with some difficulty.

The group walked through the chapel of the church, through the corridors of the garden, to a large wooden hut on the far left of the rear rest area, and Robin walked in first, turning on the magic lamp.

Thus they were able to see the whole view of the prayer house, with its spacious wooden floor and frescoed ceiling, the statue of the goddess of music in four different movements, reduced into stone pillars supporting the four corners of the room, and the classical windows carved with musical notes and waves to see the surrounding night scene: the window on the left side of the door was a small pool of bubbles and a tall pine forest, and on the opposite side was a lively nightclub street with three professional unions.

In addition to the visible scenery and décor, another feature of this room is the variety of musical instruments. Looking at the myriad instruments floating in the air by magic, for a moment, Jack even thought he was at the World Museum of Musical Instruments, which included a piano-like muse harpsichord, a violin-like Frans three-stringer, and the Amisban crescent flute that had been popular in the upper echelons of Jidala some time ago......

Of course, Jack's limited knowledge only knew these few instruments, and he had never heard of many more instruments, not to mention that he had never heard of them. Suspended above the trio's heads, these instruments follow a special trajectory and rhythm, slowly turning like stars, giving a sense of danger that can fall at any moment and a fairytale-like dream.

"Come, come in!" Robin, who was standing in the middle of the room, smiled and beckoned to the two of them, and when Jack and Tifa walked in, she said with the expression of a child eager to share and show off, "How's it, how is it, it's great." Fantastic musical instruments under the stars, you see, there's also a collection of legendary dwarven spirals, which is rare! And for musicians, if they want the noise of the world, they open the windows here, and if they want the tranquility of the landscape, they open the windows over there, that's great, right?"

"Uh-huh!" X2

Jack and Tifa nodded blankly, seeing Robin, who was extremely excited, at this time she was not only a natural nerd, but also evolved into a super talker.

After listening to Robin introduce the instrument for almost 20 minutes, Jack finally couldn't help himself, and he begged weakly, "Robin, can you show me my legs first?" hiss...... I feel so painful, no, I don't feel anything anymore, hiss...... Is it scrapped?"

"Ah, I'm sorry!" Robin now realized her mistake, and she hurriedly apologized, and helped Jack to sit on the wooden bench in the room, and she crouched down and deftly untied the rough bandage of Jack's clothes, revealing the bloody wound underneath.

"It looks like a hole in the rapier, but that's okay, a simple limb restoration will do it. Just as Robin was about to chant and cast a spell, Jack stopped her just in time.

"Don't, don't, don't rush !! yet"

"What's wrong? Don't you actually want to be treated?" Robin raised his head and looked up at Jack with big eyes, a puzzled expression on his face, "Why did you come to me as a priest if you don't want to be treated?"

"It's not. Jack put one hand on his forehead, "It's just, girl, can you take a closer look, there's a shrapnel in the wound......"

"Shrapnel, foreign body?" Robin, who was naturally stupid, poked a finger into the wound and pushed against the shrapnel embedded in the flesh.

Jack was so hurt that tears were about to come out, and even his voice trembled completely, "Shhh ”

"I, I, I didn't mean to!" Seeing Jack's painful expression, Robin panicked, she hurriedly pulled her hand, almost turning out all of Jack's flesh, and then, she thought that it seemed that she should take out the foreign object, so she inserted two more fingers into it, trying to clip it.

But such an attempt was completely unsuccessful, and instead squeezed the shrapnel into the flesh even inner.

"No, it doesn't work, you're sticking too deep, Robin, and, ah...... There are too many fingers, ahhh!!hh

The pain of less than a minute seemed so long, if it was only Robin's natural stay, Jack would be finished, thanks to Tifa's reminder, Robin went to find a tweezer and pinched out the shrapnel from Jack's wound. Then, in order to prevent Jack's re-opened wound from losing too much blood, Robin gave up his musical instrument and completed the magic [Melodious Resuscitation (Four Rings)" by singing rudimentarily

"I'm a robin in the jungle.

My blue feathers reflect the sun.

My orange chest is against the creek.

I sang aloud. Gentle crying.

I fly happily.

Because I'm a robin that everyone loves.

I'm a robin in the jungle.

My blue feathers reflect the sun.

My orange chest is against the creek.

I sang aloud. Gentle crying.

I fly happily.

Because I'm a robin that everyone loves.

......”

Although anxious, Robin's singing voice is still serious and crisp, melodious, like a robin singing in the morning light in the treetops, reminiscent of early morning clouds and dewdrops.

The brilliance of the magic covered Jack's body, making him forget about the pain, and in the warm feeling, the wound healed little by little.

Jack felt comfortable and wanted to sleep.

But something suddenly occurred to him and interrupted Robin's singing a little rudely.

"Robin, I want to ask a question, but I can't help it, so I must ask this question. Excuse me, is this a nursery rhyme you're singing?"

"yes, what's wrong?" Robin didn't get angry at Jack's rudeness, but because he was a little unconfident, he felt a little uneasy, "It's my favorite song." ”

"No, it's okay, I just think that the melody of this song is simple and repeated, it may be a nursery rhyme, so I want to verify my idea......" Jack, who was originally going to be so round, saw Robin's pitiful expression like a kitten, and suddenly had the idea of [as if bullying], the corners of his mouth hooked a little evil smile, and said solemnly, "Also, did you sing it wrong, Robin, this is not the same nursery rhyme I have heard!"

"Huh, am I singing it wrong? But this is the most famous nursery rhyme in praise of the robin, "The Flying Mockingbird", I can't be mistaken! I sang this song when I was very young, and everyone else sang it like that!"

"Alas~" Jack shook his head in a serious manner, and said earnestly, "Robin, you can't deliberately beautify it just because you have the same name as the robin!

(Robin and Robin are both robin in English)
