Chapter 201: Did I Happen?
At the same time, Ivas finished talking to Sherlock, who lived in the bishop's house, about the past few days.
When he heard the news of Minister Drost's death from Evas's side, Sherlock was a little disappointed for a moment.
"What? Got used to it and don't want to go back? β
Seeing that Sherlock's expression seemed to be a little depressed, Ivus raised his eyebrows and comforted, "Why don't you just rest in peace." I think it's pretty good, anyway, the funeral was done. β
"I can't even die if you die."
Sherlock lowered his head and continued to write, and responded coldly, "I never quarrel with patients, you go to sleep first." If I want to quarrel, I'll wait until you get up. β
Not necessarily, I think you're more prone to burping than I am.
Ivas said in his heart, but didn't say it.
He got up from his wheelchair and leaned over to see what Sherlock was writing.
Sherlock glanced sideways at Ivus. He didn't ask about his legs or feet, nor did he cover the documents in front of him.
He just casually explained, "It's still the same one as before." β
"You're not done yet, are you? One hundred and forty kinds of soot that? β
"I've already written it, I'll verify it again. This kind of thing can't go wrong, otherwise it's going to be a big problem. β
Sherlock explains: "It was originally written to help the Inspectorate and the Inspectorate in remote areas solve difficult cases...... If there is a problem with the content inside, it may become an obstacle to solving the case. β
"So when are you going to 'resurrect'?"
Ivas said, "Your parents are worried about you. β
"No hurry," Sherlock said as he flipped through the book, "and McCroft can help with that." β
Between his words, there was a faint admiration and convincing for his brother.
"And what about you, just continue to hide here?"
"A few more days. When your final exams are over, I'll go home and talk to McCroft about what I need to focus on on on Glass Island, and then I'll walk with you. β
Sherlock said in a deep voice, "I've investigated Eagle Cape Village during this time. It's not an easy place......"
He looked back, and his eyes, which had always been sleepy, had become clear at some point. The thin cheeks, which were a little sunken and had prominent cheekbones, already had flesh visible to the naked eye, at least no depression was visible. His complexion and even his skin have improved significantly.
I don't know if it's because Mrs. Mina is well raised, or if Sherlock is in good spirits after he stops working.
Probably both.
- Because it's really cool not to work, and it's very healthy.
After Aihuas woke up the next day, he used the fire method to restore his physical condition before going to school.
As a result, Ivas had a substitute class in the morning, and heard about it from Isabel at noon when we were having dinner together...... Master Janis might be coming over tonight.
"Is there anything the master is looking for me?"
Ivus was a little surprised.
"Seems to have something to do with me?"
Isabel whispered, "But I'm too embarrassed to ask." β
Related to Her Royal Highness the Princess?
That really made Ivus a little confused.
But Isabel seems to have recovered from yesterday's fears and is in better shape than since Ivus's departure yesterday. I'm afraid it was Master Janis who had a few more words with Aiwath after she left.
"That's right."
Isabel hesitated for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Do you know how to use musical instruments?" Or rather...... Are you interested in learning some musical instruments? It shouldn't be too much trouble......"
"Ah, I will."
Unexpectedly, Ivas said directly: "I will order a guitar...... But I almost forgot about it. β
That's a modest statement.
Because this is what he learned in his previous life. The brain can, but the hand doesn't have to be able to - he can actually bass, but this is needless to say.
However, the guitar of this era is still a little different from the version that Ivas learned. Rather, it was the version improved by Isabel's father, which was closer to the modern guitar. But Ivas didn't know if he had invented the "Albert guitar" at this time, so he didn't say anything about it.
"That's ......"
Isabel nodded thoughtfully and made a note of it. But nothing more was said.
After that, Ivas did not go back to the dormitory to rest. Instead, I found a quiet place, got out of my wheelchair and took a walk in the garden under the guise of "rehabilitation exercises".
Lily pushed her wheelchair and followed them with the Shadow Fiend.
- For some reason, since killing Drost, Shadow Fiend and Lily have become much closer.
And Lily has become a little closer to Eivus...... And not like before, always careful to keep the distance between master and servant.
If it was because of Ivus's face, it was reluctant to lend some of his power to Lily......
Ever since Lily completed the Father's Filial Piety Ritual, the power of the Shadow Fiend had become secure within her. It's like she's been approved by the Shadow Fiend.
But that's fine. Lily's sense of existence was originally low, but after mastering the Spider Silk Secret and getting the Shadow Demon, her sense of existence was even lower. The shadow demon is placed in her shadow, and ordinary people can't notice it.
And Lily wears a dress, and it's normal for the skirt to flutter in the wind and the shadow to squirm a little - and the shadow fiend can hide directly in the hem of her skirt.
"I heard you became a hero yesterday?" Isabel asked with a smile.
"It's just handy."
Ivus skimmed over the topic and did not continue on the subject.
Maybe it's because of his awkward personality, when he really talks to the girl about the good things he does, it always makes Ivas feel a little awkward.
He doesn't like to talk about it. On the one hand, he didn't know how to brag about himself, and on the other hand, he felt that it would make his motives suspicious.
It's going to make him a little embarrassed, like she's trying to show his true heart to others. There is a sense of exposure irritation.
It's better to lie casually and say something nice to make the little girl happy. It's much more natural to lie to Aihuas, and he doesn't even say anything that sounds good all afternoon.
Although I was a little worried, how those people would spread their news yesterday and whether they would be embarrassed...... But if you don't hear about this kind of thing, you don't have it.
They soon came to a lake.
The lake is surrounded by well-tended gardens, but in winter there are only clumps of thorns.
There are quite a few places with good scenery in Wangli Law University, but it has been getting colder and colder recently, and most students don't want to go out. That's why Isabel comes out for a walkβshe makes a point of going for a walk when no one is outside.
"The lake there, beautiful in the summer. There are also fish in it, and when I was a child, I had a sister who was at Wangli Law University, and she said that you can fish here...... I was pestering her to bring me. β
Isabel whispered, "But it's frozen now...... But I haven't tried it since I entered school. β
At that time, she was still very autistic, and she couldn't even think of finding a place to play.
Every day after class, I ran home and continued the second round of classes, day after day, without any entertainment. Live like a high school prep candidate.
"But the lake outside the Temple of Silver and Tin doesn't seem to freeze in winter."
Ivas said casually, "Haven't you ever fished there?" β
ββ¦β¦ There's a lot of people coming and going there every day, right? β
Isabel was a little nervous, and even her back was subconsciously straightened: "How can you fish in front of people?" That's rude, I'm going to be scolded......"
No, not necessarily. Not really.
Ivus said in his heart, your grandmother has more fun than you...... She definitely tried.
After all, in this era, watching plays, fishing, playing cards, and playing chess are among the few entertainment activities. The rest is either a little hurt or illegal.
But from that point of view......
"Are you still afraid of people, Isabel?"
Ivus asked the girl beside her.
Isabel shook her head: "It's impossible to say that you're not afraid...... But I've tried hard to correct it. β
"It doesn't have to be said to be 'corrected.'"
Ivus whispered, his voice soft, "Because there's nothing wrong with that. To be afraid or not to be afraid is just your choice. β
"What about Ivus?"
Isabel put her hands behind her back and leaned over slightly, looking directly at Ewass: "Do you want me to be afraid?" β
"Of course I want you to be strong."
Ivas said earnestly and honestly: "Just for yourself...... Also for Avalon. β
He finished the first half of the sentence first, and then felt that it might be a little too intimate and not good. Maybe it will scare Isabel and make her run away subconsciously. So Washston paused, and then added the second half of the sentence.
Isabel just smiled shyly and didn't answer.
They chatted like this. It's not so much a walk or a sight. Rather it's hanging out β for no purpose, just walking and talking.
It wasn't until it was almost time for class that the two said goodbye.
"Hah...... Exhausted. It feels like my fitness is really degrading...... Excuse me, Lily. Send me back to the classroom. β
As soon as Isabel was gone, Ivas sat back in his wheelchair and closed his eyes before starting to take a nap.
"Young Master," Lily's voice sounded behind him with a shallow smile, "why didn't you stay in a wheelchair just now?" β
"Polite, after all, I'm not really sick...... It would be too big to let the future queen walk next to me and talk to me. β
Ivas casually made an excuse.
This is, of course, also a lie.
Actually, the real reason is ...... If Isabel looked down on him, he always felt that she had a kind of motherly temperament. It made him feel a little awkward.
- It must have had too much of an impact on her from the previous advancement, Ivas thought to herself.
It would be nice to dilute the impression next time you advance...... It's going to be fast anyway, and this weekend is the day of advancement.
When Ivus and Lily finished their lessons, Ivas saw an unexpected person at the door of the classroom.
ββ¦β¦ Dean Meg? β
Ivas blurted out, "Who are you looking for?" β
Seeing the short old lady with a serious expression looking at him, he suddenly felt a sense of weakness.
"Of course I'm looking for you, boy!"
Meg said unceremoniously, "Come with me, okay?" β
She said, looking Ivas up and down.
- What are you looking for me, am I committing something?
Oh, no......
Ivus reacted, as if he had deceived himself.
Because he has always committed many crimes.
β¦β¦ So, which bad thing was discovered? Meg seemed to have a smile on her face, and it didn't seem like a big deal......
Could it be that I was molesting Isabel......?
