Chapter Twenty-Four: Looking for a Teenage Date?

"Shocking, right?" Sebas laughed.

"Moria's death is childless, only three daughters, and the whole of Britannia will be in turmoil.

It is also not known who will inherit this throne. ”

After a moment of silence, Char asked, "How old is this emperor?" ”

"Sixty-three." Sebas said, "But I have been assassinated before, and my health has not been very good since then, and I heard that because my third daughter is missing, I fainted in a fit of anger, and according to the Book of the Dead, I will not be able to do it tonight." ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and saw Char quietly staring at the big lake in the distance, looking at the water and sky, rippling blue waves, and not saying a word.

"Mr. Xia?" Sebas tilted his head in confusion.

Then, I heard Char sigh in a low voice.

"Fate, what a cruel thing."

Sebas nodded approvingly, "That's true." ”

"Do you mind if someone else watches you harvest your soul?"

Char's sudden opening made Sebas stunned, but after thinking for a while, he said, "The principle is that it is not allowed. ”

Then, tentatively, he asked, "Do you want to come with me?" ”

"I'm a little curious about your Grim Reaper's work."

Char shook the wine in his hand and said in a low voice.

"Besides, parting from life and death is the best accompaniment, isn't it?"

Sebas thought for a moment and said, "In principle, we harvest souls, and we can't let the living see it. But if it's you, it should be fine. ”

"Do you want to go now?" Char asked.

Sebas nodded, "The next deceased is twenty minutes later." ”

"Time is tight." Char slowly got up from his chair, "Then let's go." ”

The two of them walked down the stairs together, and at this moment the dust in the room was not as much as it was just now, and it was much more pleasing to the naked eye.

Alicia was sweeping the cobwebs from the ceiling with a homemade elongated broom, and Cassifer grumbled on the side.

"Don't chase away the spiders! They eat flies! ”

Alicia piled all the garbage on Cassifer's body and burned it, almost drowning it, and it was trying to poke its head out of the crack.

In this day and age, there are not many chemical products, and most of the garbage in the castle is some broken wood blocks, paper bags, some broken books and food scraps and the like, and Cassifer is not an ordinary flame, so you don't have to worry about any toxic gases.

"Char!" Seeing Char come down, Cassifer seemed to see a savior, "You take care of her, I'm going to be turned off by her!" ”

Char walked over to the stove and used tongs to pick up some of the rubbish a bit, giving Cassifer a breathing space.

"Cassifer is vulnerable, don't let it go out." Char said to Alicia.

Alicia looked at Char, who was wearing an overcoat, and asked, "You're going out?" ”

"Go do something."

Alicia bowed her head and did not continue to speak.

"Aren't you curious what we're going to do out there?" Char teased.

"I don't want to know what the Grim Reaper did with the wizard." "Although I have already stepped into the grave with half a foot, I don't want to step into the other foot so soon. ”

"Don't worry, ma'am." "You'll live a long time." ”

Alicia raised an eyebrow. "I've heard this phrase many times, but it's incredibly convincing to come out of your mouth."

Sebas took off his hat and saluted Alicia.

"Goodbye then, ma'am."

Alicia's face froze, and she said, "I'm an old and hunched old woman who doesn't have anything to see, so I don't need to say goodbye." ”

Sebas was stunned for a moment, but then, he reacted and smiled, "You're so humorous. ”

With a jingle of the bell, Char opened the door, and Sebas nodded to Alicia again before following Char out.

Alicia looked through the window with some confusion at their distant backs.

She muttered.

"Cassifer, what are they going to do?"

"Aren't you curious?" Cassifer said with a crackle on one side.

"It's not curious, but it doesn't prevent me from asking, does it?" Alicia said.

"Then you just didn't ask." Cassifer complained, "I'm not a roundworm in his stomach, how would I know."

If he had gone out alone, he could have guessed if he was going to date a beautiful girl, but now it's two people. ”

"Looking for a girly date?" Alicia's eyes widened, and she continued, "Did he go on dates with teenage girls a lot before?" ”

"Before?" Cassifer's words paused, and the flames in the hearth flickered, falling into memory.

"If you're talking about Char in my memory, then yes, but once the girl really falls in love with him, he immediately loses interest. ”

What Cassifer didn't say was that he had only been with Char for a few days, and the "Char" he remembered had another name, and that was "Hal".

Due to the loss of his heart, Howl's heart gradually became engulfed in loneliness and emptiness as time passed, and in order to fill this void, Hal never gave up on seeking his true love.

But as Cassifer said, because of the loss of his heart, he can't really invest in a relationship.

Therefore, he is often pestered by some girls who have been abandoned by him, and in order to get rid of these troubles, he has his apprentices go for a walk about the rumors about him, which is the origin of the legend of the girl who took the girl's heart.

This is something in the novel, which is not specifically mentioned in the movie, but it is still shown at the beginning.

Alicia fell silent. Cassifer's flame leaned forward to see her expression.

"What's wrong with you?"

But then, she saw Alicia pick up a brush from the table on one side of her and walk with the bucket to Cassifer's hearth.

Cassifer's face froze instantly, and the flames subconsciously retreated.

"Wait! What are you doing!? ”

"Don't! Don't brush the soot on the wall, that's not dirty! That's the testimony of the years! It's a testament to how hard I've worked here! ”
