3. The naïve singer
(I'm sorry for the fact that the original light novel was written as a history book.)
At the end of a dance music, the singer, who was already a little out of breath, kept bowing her head and slowly walked towards the backyard, and the guests applauded at the same time, and they were also very generous to hand over the reward to the person who went to collect the money. 《.
However, how much of it will actually go into the hands of the singer? Judging from her apparently poor appearance, this tavern must be exploiting her interests in the greatest way.
"No money. ”
After sending the people away very confidently, Ashmill gestured to Lilith with his eyes.
"Got it, let's go to the backcourt. ”
Lilith nodded as she pressed the money on the table.
Ge Ji's dancing and singing voice deserve a reward, but this money should be put into her own hands, not half deducted by others.
"Speaking of which, Sister Annie, you've always been uneasy, what's wrong?"
"Lilith, that girl, do you need our help with her?"
Anne asked, "Like, I can take her...... Bring it back or something......"
Isn't that just abduction?
"No, no, I should say it's not good. ”
Lilith immediately dismissed Anne's words, this time, not really out of jealousy, "We are indeed going to help her, but if Sister Anne brings her back and allows her to live a carefree life, then her singing voice will probably not be as attractive as this." The only thing we can do is to help her with encouragement. ”
And. No one will take the favor of a stranger lightly. This is especially true for a singer who seems to be able to survive here on her own.
After a little magic to get the guards standing there to get a good night's sleep. Lilith got her wish and saw the singer who had just sung on stage with the most beautiful voice.
Even if her behavior is not so elegant now, at least, the way she is trying to survive is beautiful.
"If you don't drink water, I'm afraid the next performance won't have the same voice as before. ”
Lilith waved her hand at Asmo, "Why are you still stunned, go find some water, you can bear to watch a person eat dry food?"
"You ...... Who are you?"
The singer hurriedly turned around. Then he began to hastily organize his clothes.
"Don't get excited, I'm just going to give you a reward. ”
Lilith quickly glanced around the room. There was only one door, and a gatekeeper had just come in, a mirror, a simple cosmetic product on the table in front of it, and the small window on the top didn't look like a size that could be drilled through.
This singer, isn't it a free body?
"Take it. ”
Lilith forcefully pulled away the hand of the singer who was still stunned, and stuffed the money bag prepared in advance into the hand of the singer, "I just give you a reward." As for whether you can hide it, that's your business. ”
"Hey, but it's a reward...... Isn't someone going to take it?"
The singer, who hadn't reacted yet, showed a natural look on her face. This also makes Lilith regret her own conclusion that "this singer can play" that she made before.
She's just a guy who doesn't know anything......
"Okay, then you don't want it?"
"Ahh ”
The singer hurriedly stuffed the money bag into the pocket around her waist, but judging by the sudden bulging pocket, she would soon be discovered.
This stupid person can't even hide his private money.
"Yo, Lilith, got the water?"
Ashmill was left with the only thing left to help the girl, and after putting the kettle on the table, Lilith began to quietly watch the singer gobble up.
To be honest, it's really hard to imagine that she is the singer who has a beautiful singing voice and dazzling dancing skills just now.
Maybe this girl really can't just give a little money and be done? But the world is so big, she can't save all the people who are suffering. Moreover, who can save yourself who is being tortured by a chess game?
No, maybe there is someone who can ......
"What's your name. ”
It's probably because her own temperament is different.,Even if Anne is already sitting next to the singer.,The singer isn't alert.,Unlike herself.,Just say a word.,Scared the singer.。
The singer just blinked, but didn't stop moving: "Erica." ”
"So, it's a bit abrupt, but Erica, it seems like you're not free, right?"
“......”
Erica's hands suddenly trembled, but the next moment, she immediately dismissed Anne's words with a very contrived smile, "No, I'm just singing for this shop." ”
"Erica, don't be afraid, we really don't have any ill will. Anne tried her best to persuade Erica, "I can redeem you if I can, and of course, if you don't want to wander outside, I can also give you a job." ”
For a princess to make such a promise, if it were someone else, most of them would have hugged Anne's leg with joy and refused to let go, but Erica hesitated for a moment and insisted on her words: "Thank you, but I am really free." ”
What a clumsy lie.
"Then you just look me in the eye and say again, you are free. ”
Annie's positive persuasion is estimated to have no effect, and Lilith, who has been slightly moved by compassion, can only choose to play blackface, "What's the matter, don't dare to look at me, am I so scary?"
"Woo......"
Lilith...... Don't scare her. ”
Anne actually wants to admit that even if she knows that Lilith is deliberately doing evil, the way she looks now is really terrifying.
"It's better to think I'm scaring her, so Erica, have you ever thought that your life is already passable now, and what will happen to you when your voice is no longer sweet and you can't dance in a few years?"
Lilith sat across from Erica, and before her eyes drifted away, Lilith caught up with her, "Then I'll tell you, according to the general practice, if you are too angry, you can't make money in the shop, basically the prostitute is your end." But they do, don't tell me, you prefer to starve to death outside than to get a break after picking up a guest every day, and even then, your corpse won't get any good ......."
"Lilith!"
"Hey...... Anyway, you're still too naïve to think that you can eat with your voice and dance steps all the time. Lilith, who was yelled at by Annie, became honest, and while reminiscing about the time when others called her "naïve", Lilith picked out what in her opinion Erica cared about the most.
"So let's talk about some fun, Erica, I guess, you already have someone you like?" (to be continued......)
