Chapter 8: The Past
“……”
Suzu, who thought she would gladly agree, was silent. Sesshomaru didn't expect it either, could it be that the death of her family had brought her some obstacles? Are you afraid of getting along with the living, or are you afraid of your own homework? He thought about it a lot, but he really didn't expect that he, who didn't even care about human life, would be worried about the childish mind of the person in front of him at this moment.
"Suzu?"
"Young Master Sesshomaru, if you count your age, Suzu should be in the second year of junior high school, but Suzu hasn't read the first year of junior high school yet...... If you can't keep up with others in your homework, you will be embarrassed by Young Master Sesshomaru. ”
"That's okay, just make it up slowly."
"Well......, but if Suzu goes to school, it's rare to see the young master......" The voice behind the words became smaller and smaller, like a voice coming from his throat, but Sesshomaru could hear it clearly.
It turned out that the so-called "homework can't keep up" turned out to be just an excuse, an excuse for not wanting to ignore him so far.
He watched Suzu with her head down, and the small squeak on her head that was slanted fell to her ears, and her bangs covered her eyes. "Suzu knows, Young Master Sesshomaru, before school starts next quarter, Suzu will make up for the homework that she has missed."
She looked up and made a final compromise with Sesshomaru.
She wanted to learn what she hadn't learned before first, and then go to school when enrollment began after the summer vacation. Whatever the reason, she has to go to school, she has to be self-reliant, and she has to live on her own in the future.
"Until then, I'll teach you." Sesshomaru rarely took care of a nossy matter.
Sesshomaru took Suzu upstairs, "You can read the books in the study casually." "The study is heavy, and it's not just a casual place to be allowed in.
"Really! Thank you, Master Sesshomaru! Suzu didn't hesitate to laugh at herself, and jumped up when she walked happily.
Sure enough, it's still a child, and if you're a little happy, you can quickly forget the entanglement just now.
In the study, the two people under the light, Sesshomaru was dealing with the company's affairs in front of the computer, and Xiao Suzu was sitting directly on the carpet, leaning on the bookshelf and reading the book with relish.
Sesshomaru moved his sore shoulders, and turned his head to see Suzu lying asleep on a stack of books. He got up and went over and called softly, but she showed no sign of waking up. Sesshomaru squatted down and saw that there were still half tears in the corners of her eyes, I don't know if it was the deep emotion of reading the book, or the sleepy yawn. He gently lifted her up, her face already sleep-wrecked, and a few words printed in ink on the side of her chin.
Sesshomaru looked at her dirty little face and actually laughed, and there was a little inadvertent tenderness in his eyes.
I don't know how long I've been watching it like this, if it weren't for the fact that the light bulb had been working for too long and suddenly flashed, Sesshomaru would have been sitting here all night holding the bell and looking at her. He picked her up and gently turned off the light, only to find that it was already raining outside.
After setting up the bell, Sesshomaru returned to the room, and thunder began to rage outside. Outside the window, "Boom!! With a sound, he remembered the words of the wrong opinion.
Suzu hadn't told him about her past, and he didn't care, he didn't know anything other than that she was an orphan.
But the evil opinion was not worried about such a strange person staying by Sesshomaru's side, so he secretly investigated Suzu's life history and reported it to him, and he also knew Suzu's past - "Young Master Sesshomaru, Suzu's little girl has checked it." Her real name is Hanakoling, her parents are farmers, she was born in a village on the southern outskirts of the city, where she grew up, and in addition to her parents, she also has an older brother.
A year ago, the village where she lived was attacked by bandits, and almost all the people in the village died, including her parents and brothers, and she was the only one who survived. Later, he wandered with the survivors to a village outside the western suburbs, where he was taken in and sheltered, and then he was the young master, as you know.
"Alas, I really don't know if she is lucky or unlucky, she witnessed the death of her relatives, her parents and brothers are gone, and she survived alone...... Later, he encountered wolves...... Hey, Master Sesshomaru, you said that if she hadn't been rescued by you, those villagers would have said she was some kind of nemesis. Oops, it's pathetic to think about it. ”
At that time, the evil opinion told him this, and he only remained silent. But now that I want to come......
Can...... Pity?
He has never pitied anyone, and he has never felt that people are pitiful. He has always felt that the weak, what is there to be sympathized with? What should not be encountered, the weak eat the strong, this is the case.
When did he start thinking about these false kindnesses that he had once scoffed at?
