4. The dean who doesn't love the stars
"Mommy, Mommy, eat cake. ļ¼x.ā
Seeing Frey trying to stuff the cake into Rena's mouth, Lilith felt that her mood had unconsciously become much better. At least, some terrible thoughts were suppressed for the time being because of Frey.
The parents of those children, let them go for the time being, with themselves by the side of the mother and daughter, at least there is no need to worry about safety.
However, Frey's words when she went to buy cakes with her, and what happened after that, did make Lilith feel very strange.
At that time, she was planning to use magic to make Frey feel that the little boy she said was being punished, but before she could use it, the child fell down on his own. And that time, just after Frey said the suspicious "you will definitely be punished" words, it was probably no coincidence.
In other words, did Frey's words have the effect of magic, but this kind of thing that resembles a spirit of words, or prophecy in the mouth of ordinary people, has never been mentioned to the dean.
What's more, Frey is still a five-year-old now...... Does she really, have such power?
"Mom, I've thought it through. ā
Frey, who had completely recovered her previous liveliness, had forgotten all about Rena's mistake to push her down, and began to stick to Rena who had just finished her "work" again.
"I'm going to marry Sister Alice when I grow up!"
"Poof......
Ahem, Dean, you can't talk nonsense.
"Ahem. Frey. Lilith felt the need to correct Frey's distorted values at the age of five. "Girls. You can only marry boys, right?"
"If only Frey had become a boy...... Well, no, it doesn't work. ā
Frey tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Then let Sister Alice become a boy." ā
"But...... Even if Frey makes me a boy...... This is also ......"
"The boys Frey likes are the ones who are a little taller than Frey, a little bigger, with hats, tuxedos, and blonde hair!"
Isn't that the prototype of Don Quixote!? The first thing that came to mind was the boy that Frey described, the prototype of Don Quixote......
Why, something feels wrong......
"Frey, mom still has to go to work later?"
Rena touched Frey's head, "If you're hungry later, eat some snacks, don't play too late, go to bed early, you know?"
"Hmm!"
"Then please, Lilith. ā
"No problem. ā
Lilith nodded, Rena's mouth. Naturally, it is a person who does real yĆ n in the house, because it doesn't matter what kind of alchemist he is. They all seem to like to work at night without exception.
"Well, Sister Alice, will you sleep with Frey?"
After watching Rena walk up the stairs and disappear from her eyes, Frey suddenly turned her head and asked, "Frey doesn't like to sleep alone. ā
"It's just a** sleeping, no problem. ā
Faced with such a lovely dean's request, Frey naturally had no reason to refuse, "Speaking of which, it's still early, does Frey have anything she wants to play?
"Play...... Well, no. ā
Frey thought for a moment, and then began to rummage through the pile of toys that filled the room, and all sorts of things appeared in Lilith's eyes, dolls, models, ragdolls...... This is already a princess-level treatment for a girl.
Princess...... Speaking of which, in the current world, Sister Anne should not have been born yet......
"There are no new toys left, and when Mom has time, Frey and Mom have to go buy new ones. ā
Frey muttered as she sat down in the pile of toys with frustration.
I have to say that Rena's love for Frei made Lilith feel very envious. Whether it's toys or rest time, it seems that Rena is all dedicated to Frey, except for the only one that can't be given to Frei, Rena needs time to "work".
Why is Frey's home such a big manor, why does Frey have so many expensive, dazzling toys, why does Frey dress up like a little princess all over her body...... These questions, or to put it more clearly, where Rena's money came from, Lilith didn't want to ask, and she didn't even want to find out that she knew Rena's identity.
As long as I stay with Frei and guard my dean like this, it's fine...... Well...... Myself......
"Woo......"
The sharp headache immediately made Lilith shake, but the solid wall blocked Lilith's vain steps.
It's the same headache as before, and after coming here, it seems that it happened when I was about to say the real name of "Lilith". At that time, I temporarily decided to use the pseudonym "Alice" to call myself......
Could it be that there is something wrong with my plan just now?
Ah, by the way, speaking of which, Frey here, the young dean here, has never told herself about astrology at all, and she doesn't seem to have been exposed to astrology at all, so that means that this Frey is just an ordinary child who is doted on by her mother......
Other words...... She's going to grow up normally...... Death?
So, isn't it impossible for the dean in his original world to save zĆ i?
Something is wrong, I suddenly returned to the world of hundreds of years ago, and completely forgot what happened before, it was so wrong, what the hell was I going to do here......
Or do you want to ...... What to correct?
"Now, Frey, how about my sister take you to see the stars?"
Thinking of this, Lilith decided not to hesitate any longer, "Interesting, huh?"
"Orangutans?"
Frey tilted her head, "Sister Alice is so stupid, the zoo won't open at night?"
"It's not the orangutan, it's the stars in the sky. ā
"Oh, there's a flying orangutan, Frey wants to see it!"
ā...... It's not a gorilla, it's a little star in the sky that blinks. ā
Lilith took Frey's hand and led her to the garden outside the house, where she found a meadow where the two of them could sit, and sat down with Frey.
In the dark night sky, there is no moon tonight, but on the contrary, there are many stars in the sky, constantly twinkling.
In her own world, sitting on the grass in front of the cabin every night, holding a notebook in her hand, and looking at the stars is Dean Frey's favorite and every day.
Lilith had also peeked out of curiosity, and after seeing the dean at the time, she immediately gave up the idea of prank.
The dean who looked at the stars was too focused, too engaged, and the stars could not shine on the dean's face like the sun, but they seemed to accept the dean and merge with the dean.
At that time, the dean was very beautiful, very mysterious, and very ...... Eternity, as if even the flowing time was too embarrassed to disturb her, everything chose to be silent, so that the dean could look at the night sky with peace of mind, so ...... It's also lonely.
When the students joked, they would say that the dean was an old witch who would not die for a hundred years, and in the eyes of ordinary people, the dean, who rarely appeared, was rumored to be an astrologer, but Sister Anne once told Lilith that those who had been taught by Frey, and who later rose to prominence, or stepped into the pinnacle, called her the Star Blesser.
Those who are blessed, guarded, and eternally co-existed with the stars of the night.
"Hmm, I'm so bored, I'm so sleepy......"
However, the current reality makes Lilith feel a little cruel and regretful, the five-year-old Frey doesn't seem to have the slightest feeling for the night sky that she should have loved, and before she sat down, she began to yawn non-stop, "Sister Alice, Frey kind of wants to sleep......"
"Ah, Frey, sister will tell you a story first. ā
Lilith pointed to the sky, and now, no matter what, Lilith felt compelled to give Frey what she knew, what little she knew about the stars.
"Actually, these stars are not so boring? Look at the stars that come together. ā
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
"That's actually a very enthusiastic girl, the incarnation of the constellation, right?"
In Lilith's eyes, that cluster of stars was not the galaxy of Aries Palace that the dean had pointed to him, but now...... It's no longer time to fool the past with not knowing.
Even if it's made up, you have to make up the guardians of Dean Frey.
"There are a lot of stars in this night sky, but there are twelve of them that I like to communicate with us the most, and the one I just pointed out to Frey is the first one. ā
"Hmm...... Who's that?"
"Her name is Bobby, and she represents the Palace of Aries, you see, that star, like a pair of sheep's horns?"
Lilith said, "Bobby is a very enthusiastic girl, but she is a bit reckless, but it must be fun to play with her." ā
"Well, Sister Alice knows a lot. ā
"Of course, do you know what an astrologer is?"
Lilith began to cajole Frey, "It's a group of people who look at the stars every day, even if they live alone, they won't be bored, because they have friends with them." ā
"Hmm...... Such...... Yes. ā
"The second sign is ......"
Lilith was about to continue, but the sound of even breathing from the side made her stop the topic with a wry smile.
It seems that talking to Frey about the stars now can only be regarded as a kind of lullaby......
Lilith reluctantly picked up the sleeping Frey and led her back to the house.
Don't understand...... I just don't understand. Why is the dean here not interested in the stars at all? (To be continued......)
