Chapter 21 Absenteeism

The next morning, the harsh sunlight peeked into my room through the cracks in the curtains, shone on my face, and pulled me out of my sleep.

"It's so coolβ€”" I got out of bed and stretched. Yesterday I was tired for a day, and I slept comfortably, and today is really comfortable!

"Nia, get up!" At this time, there was a knock on the door of my mother, it seems that my mother has also come home, and I don't know what to do yesterday.

"Get up. I replied, and got up from the bed to freshen up.

Leaving the room, Mom was sitting at the dining table, and Talilu was already up, and her little face looked very energetic.

"Hey, Talilu!" I said hello and quickly jumped to my seat, grabbed the bread on the table, and ate it.

"Early. ”

"Eat slowly. Mom said.

"Where's Daddy?" I said, chewing on the bread in my mouth.

"He is in the imperial capital, and he had a letter yesterday, saying that he has not been able to come back in recent months, and he is a little urgent. Mom said, a hint of sadness flashing across her face.

"So long?" I exclaimed, I had grown so big, and my father had never been away for so long.

"yes, it's going to be a war, you just eat yours, anyway, your dad will come back with a lot of candy. Mom smiled and said, I don't think so, I don't have any concept of war, I often hear Mom and Dad say this word, in my opinion, it's just fighting, it's just a little more crowded......

"What's wrong with Talilu?" Talilu was listening at this time, and her little face changed color slightly for some reason, and I asked her suspiciously.

"Daddy, he's going to war?" asked Talilu.

"Yes, don't worry about Talilu, Daddy he's very good, and he's never lost a battle. Mom touched Talilu's head and said, "He'll bring you a present, too." ”

"Hmm. ”

"I want more than Talilu!" I said, raising my glass, the milk inside which I had just drunk in one gulp!

"Hehe, in terms of quantity, your gifts are the most. Mom said, and Talilu on the side covered her mouth and laughed with her mother for some reason.

Then after breakfast, I went to class as always, and in the afternoon I went to Uncle Burton's training ground to train, oh my God, I'm going to be tired to death today, I really don't want to go! But unexpectedly, Uncle Bolton was not at the training ground today, and when I went there, there were only a few of my companions, and they said that Uncle Bolton let us train by ourselves today, just like yesterday.

"Nya, come on, let's play!" said Namien, who put down his sword and leaned over to me.

"Okay, okay!" As soon as I heard that I wanted to play, I also gave up the training in my hand and put down my sword and said.

"Add me one!" and then Eric, Beech, Sam, and Ron all came to us, and that's how boys usually play together!

"Hey, you guys, Uncle Bolton will come back later to check!" "Hilmy, still in a blocking position, said to us in displeasure when he saw that we had given up, "Nia, why don't you join in the fun with them?" ”

"I want to play too. I said helplessly, and then sent an invitation to Hilmy, "Hilmy, you guys can come and play too." ”

"I don't, Uncle Burton will be angry when he comes back!" said Hilmy, continuing her parrying exercises.

"To combine work and rest!" Ron Li interjected at this time, let us all put our hearts at ease, we were originally playing with apprehension, at this time this sentence "work and rest combination" is such a great motivation for us!

"yes, yes, you can play too. Namien said coaxingly.

"Hmph. Hilmi snorted coldly and ignored us, then moved to Sister Reese's side, "Aina, Larive, let's train together." ”

"Hehe, okay. Aina said.

"Ahh "But the sister Lari Vico who was standing behind her didn't do it, why did the boys rest, they all played, she still trained under this sun, of course, she wouldn't go along with that group of boys, but, since they were all training, what were they still training here, so the sword in his hand was thrown and he was going to lie down and rest, "They are all playing, and I don't practice anymore!"

"Hurry up, train quickly, or Uncle Bolton will be angry when he comes back!" Aina said to hold her sister up, but Larevi seemed to be very fragile and strong, and the fragile thing was that she gave up in an instant, and the strong thing was that once she gave up, it wasβ€”iron-hearted!

"No, no, no!" Larevi shook off Aina's hand, and then covered her ears and swung her hands and feet in a hawking owl.

"Really! Leave you alone!" Aina said angrily, originally thinking that her sister would beg for mercy in order not to make herself angry, but who knew that Rarevi replied with a smile, "Thank you~"

"Hehe......" Hilmy smiled, and Aina jumped on the spot in a fit of rage.

"What are you here to play?" I asked.

"Hide and seek?" asked Eric.

"Where are you hiding in this empty space!" said Namien, knocking on Eric's head.

"Let's play, we're all wooden!" Sam said, holding up his hand, and since he was so short, we could barely see him in the crowd.

"No! it's not fun......" Beechcraft said.

"And what are we going to play?" asked Ron this time, and we both fell silent, but after a while, Ron said, "Oh, or let's go out!"

"Going out?" asked Beechcraft, to his brother.

"How about going to the forest to the east!" said Namien, jumping to his feet.

"The forest to the east is so far away!" I said lazily, it was too far to walk from here to there! I don't usually walk much, but I don't want to waste my strength to get there, even if I get there by carriage, it will take an hour, "Wherever we go, Uncle Bolton is back!"

"Ahh......h

"Eh, I'll invite you to eat!" I jumped up and said, I had just taken some more money from my mother, and she gave me a few more gold coins, and I had a few silver coins left over last time!

"Yes, yes!" said a few of them, cheering.

"Hey, are you going to run out!" Hilmi suddenly interjected at us again, "It's absolutely impossible to run out, it's still training time!"

"It's alright, Uncle Bolton isn't here anyway!" said Namien with a grin.

"yes, yes!" Beechy chimed in, then said to Hilmy, "Nia has a treat!"

"Nia!" Hilmi called out my name.

"Uh...... What's wrong......"

"Look at you!" Hilmy pointed at me and said, wronged, it wasn't me who went out......

"Uh...... It's not me who wants to go out......" I said with a pitiful expression, and my father said:

Women are soft-hearted creatures, and sometimes they show a little pity on their faces, which can cover up their sins.

"But it's also you who say you have to invite them out to eat that will cause these problems!" Hilmy grumbled, then turned to my compatriots behind me and said, "And you!

At this time, Laryvi, who was lying on the side, suddenly jumped up, ran over to our side, and said, "Whoever wants to have a treat, add me one!"

β€œ......”

"Uh...... Well, do you two want to come together? I looked at this embarrassment and had no choice but to extend the invitation again......

Finally, the nine of us came out of the training ground together, the hot sun hung high in the sky, who wants to train with a sword on the lawn!

In the end, we all went to the market together, bought something from the small shop on the road, and ate it as we walked, and ate delicious food while walking along the road.

"This ball! Jiufen!" This time we walked to a small shop again, smelled a burst of fragrance and came over, haha, this one must be tried anyway!

"Okay!" the shopkeeper quickly prepared and after a while, the nine portions of balls were all ready, then he smiled and bent down, stretched out his hands and said, "Nine portions, ninety copper coins!"

"Good. "I felt in my pocket, and I ran out of silver coins last time...... I had to touch the space ring on my hand, and took out the wallet inside, which was the sword with gold that my father asked Talilu to give me yesterday and the ring I used for training.

I took out a gold coin and gave it to the shopkeeper and said, "I don't have any change, I'm sorry, look for it." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the golden gold coins in my wallet, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he was only slightly stunned, so he took a gold coin I handed out, found the money to me, and said with a wry smile, "This is your ninety-nine silver coins, and ten copper coins, God, if one comes I can't afford to find one, but kid, you are really rich! I've seen so much money for the first time! You have to put it away! Otherwise, it will not be good to be seen by the bad guys!"

"Well, well!" I took my portion of the balls, and the eight of them came over to take their share, and we walked away, and made it in the chair-filled area by the side, and ate it here.

"It's going to be done!" the shopkeeper's voice came again, and then he said, "Remember!"

"Hmm. I answered, wondering why the shopkeeper kept telling me, and turned around and ate with my companion.
