"Why not?" Rika Fujimaru's tone was very natural, "Relationships change because of all kinds of things. You can certainly choose to let it take its course, but you can also choose to work on it to change in the direction you want it to. ”

"Hmm......" Kylia hugged her pillow and thought hard for a moment, then replied in frustration, "I can't think of any way to do it." The guy looked really stubborn. ”

"Inquisitor Hastings isn't actually stubborn, he's just tough. If he was really stubborn, he wouldn't have agreed to this appointment as your teacher. Fujimaru Rika revealed the answer directly to the other party, and couldn't help but complain along the topic, "Sigismund's kind of talent is really called stubbornness, it has been since a long time ago, and most of the time I am even following him...... Far from it. ”

“…… My sister also finds it difficult to convince. ”

"Of course there is, what do you think of me? I'm just an ordinary human who looks very unreliable from the outside, and even if I'm out and about with the Aquila Scepter, the first thing people will do is question the authenticity of the identification code, although they will soon realize that the identification code is indeed real. ”

Fujimaru Rika sighed and pulled the topic back again: "Although I don't know what's going on, you can summarize what makes Inquisitor Hastings annoying you, and then make a list of these items and make it clear that you don't like this." The basis of all communication is 'getting the word clear', which is straightforward but also very effective. ”

Probably due to the difference in cultural atmosphere, Rika Fujimaru thought that Kylea would hesitate here, worrying about questions like "will this be too straightforward" - at least she herself would have felt this way before she had experienced so much. But Kylia only thought for a second, and then nodded ferociously.

"I'll say that tomorrow." But then, her face showed concern, "What if he won't listen?" ”

"That means that your 'importance' in his eyes is not enough, so the weight of your words is not enough." Rika Fujimaru replied, "Think about it, what are your advantages on this ship?" ”

“…… But I'm just his student. Even in Pameño's grammar school, the master-apprentice relationship seems quite strict and absolute. Kelya, who was bound by her inherent thinking, sadly shrunk her whole body into the quilt, and Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed slightly:

"This is the first time, so I'll tell you the general idea, but if you have this kind of problem in the future, you'll have to think for yourself." She put it this way, "From the point of view of your relationship, Inquisitor Hastings is, of course, your teacher, and you are his student; But what if it is viewed in the sense of the whole Chaldean Bureau? ”

"What does it mean for the Chaldean Bureau?" Kylia looked up blankly.

"You are me, the sole heir appointed by the Chaldean Crown, and he is technically my prisoner - by the way, the company commander Sevita Leon and ten black-armored guards left on the ship by Conrad Coetz are also technically my prisoners, but the current situation still requires them to take on various duties on the ship, and I think it would be a waste to lock them up."

Fujimaru Rika turned around, retracted her feet back into the bed, turned her back to the head of the bed, and faced Kelia, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and put her elbows on her knees to support her face: "In terms of master-apprentice relationship, of course you are the one who speaks lightly. But not for the other members of the Storm Boundary. You can find some other 'allies' for yourself to help you fight against this 'formidable enemy that you can't fight on your own'. ”

"But ......," Kylia hesitated, "I thought it was between the two of us......"

"From the very beginning, human beings have been social creatures who need to help each other to survive. There's no shame in looking for help when faced with a difficult situation to solve – you see when I'm on my own. Fujimaru Rika said something briskly that sounded absolutely not worthy of pride, but there was even a little pride in her tone, "I'm actually very weak, if I am thrown alone to any nest, I will die in less than a week." I've been able to get all the way to where I am now, thanks to the help of all kinds of friends. ”

"But I don't know anyone who will help me."

"Isn't it okay to ask around about this kind of thing?" Fujimaru Rika said lightly, "On the other hand, if you don't ask other people like this, no one will know that you need help in this regard, so naturally it is impossible to take the initiative to come together." ”

"If I hadn't been going back tomorrow, I'd definitely help." Abigail, who had been obediently quiet for a long time, suddenly interjected, "That uncle is very annoying, everyone thinks so!" I think you can ask Sister Alter first. ”

Fujimaru Rika suddenly noticed something else: "No, wait a minute, although I know that in general, the character of the Inquisitor is of course not likable, but isn't it a bit ...... to say, 'Everyone thinks so'?"

"It's just that everyone doesn't like him!" Abigail said angrily, "The uncle of Monte Cristo also dislikes him, and the big bug-like fairy brother also says that he will put a spell on him, the lord and the lord, you must hate him too, right?" ”

Kylea also set her sights on Rika Fujimaru, but this question, which seemed to everyone not to hesitate, did make her stuck.

“…… Well, of course I don't like him either, he's going to kill me. I don't know why, but this sentence sounds like there is a little bit of weakness in the tone, "But if you want to say that I hate him, it doesn't seem to be enough." You see, I'm also a trickster, if I really hate him, how can I let him get on the boat......"

"Why?" Abigail angrily hugged the pillow and squeezed Fujimaru Rika, "He doesn't have anything in him that people can like!" ”

"Objectively I know this very well......"

"Then why doesn't the Master hate him yet! Is there anything to like about him! ”

Abigail sat on her knees on the bed menacingly, holding her pillow to face Rika Fujimaru, and it was obvious that if the other person's answer was not satisfactory, she would smash the pillow down. Of course, Fujimaru Rika also understood this very clear threat, and immediately began to think about it for a while, and after a few seconds hesitantly gave an answer:

"Uh, he's, human?" In the end, Rika Fujimaru, who felt helpless, reluctantly squeezed out such a reason, and then immediately after, the pillow in Abigail's hand fell on her face.

In "Even if you find a reason, find a more convincing one!" The nightly talk quickly turned into a pillow fight. But in this laughter, only Rika Fujimaru herself realizes that she has indeed been "for a long time" and has not hated any "human" subjectively and emotionally.

It was true, but she decided to make it an unfunny joke.
