Chapter Twenty-Five: Jonathan's Story
Looking back now, even Jonathan himself didn't know why he didn't leave and went up to the second floor, but he was glad that it was the first time he had meaning.
"What's wrong? Mr. Grand Thief. ”
Seeing Jonathan looking at herself in a daze, Jessica looked down at herself suspiciously, but she didn't notice anything wrong.
"Nothing, just remembering the night we first met. ”
Jonathan came back to his senses and hurriedly explained.
"So many things have changed since that night. I don't know if these changes are good or bad, but one thing is for sure...... I'm happy now. ”
Just talking to Jessica like this, Jonathan's panic soon disappeared, replaced by a calm mixed with faint euphoria.
"Mr. Rogue ......"
Jessica's face flushed, and she could tell she was happy.
"Those words are a bit shy. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”
Jonathan scratched his hair, and accidentally said that kind of thing made him a little shy too, so he simply used the method of changing the subject.
"Let me tell you the latest story. ”
"Hmm. ”
Jessica, who was still blushing, certainly wouldn't refuse, so Jonathan's "Grand Theft Adventure" started a new chapter.
This story begins with the world's famous thief accidentally recovering the extremely evil black dragon, the chivalrous thief with the black dragon who reformed the evil and defeated one powerful monster after another and the demon who tried to subvert the world, rescued the noble lady with incomparable beauty, hunted the delicious monster Gara crocodile, eradicated the thief group that drove the evil monster in a cave, expelled the cloak demon king who wanted to rob the princess, and finally beat the black dragon who suddenly betrayed and wanted to kill the princess.
The whole story is vivid and interesting in Jonathan's mouth, exciting and tense, especially the part of the violent beating of the black dragon is carefully described, and strives to perfectly express the details and sense of presence.
It didn't take long for the story to end, and Jonathan was about to leave, although he was reluctant to spend time with Jessica, but Jessica's rest was more important.
Jonathan, who was about to say goodbye, looked at Jessica's face and stopped suddenly. He remembered Albert Einstein, a force powerful enough to change Jonathan's perception of the world...... If it was that Einstein, maybe there was a way to cure it
"I ...... I've recently met a couple of new partners, and they're very powerful people, and maybe there's a chance to come across a rare elixir or some super magic that can cure any ailment, and your eyes must be ......."
Jonathan felt a little heavy on his tongue, and nothing was more desperate than false hope. Einstein was strong, but not omnipotent, and there was no guarantee that he would cure Jessica's eyes, which were born blind. Jonathan regretted it, what part of the brain was caught by the door to say such irresponsible words?
"I, I want to say that there must be a way for your eyes to be cured, and then you will be able to see the sun. ”
Jessica relied on her sense of hearing to find Jonathan's location, and her hand slowly touched Jonathan's cheek.
"Although the sun is warm, I have already gotten a baby warmer than the sun. ”
Jonathan's ears were burning and his head was a little overloaded. He didn't know if it was because of Jessica's touch, or the emotion hidden in the words, or the distressing tenderness.
"So, please don't worry about me, Mr. Grand Rogue. ”
Until he left Antoinette's house, Jonathan was still a little dizzy, but fortunately he was familiar enough with this yard that he would have crashed into the arms of the night guard.
Climbing over the courtyard walls, the cold air brought Jonathan back to his senses.
Jessica is too gentle, such a girl should not live in a world where she can only feel the warmth of the sun. Jonathan wants Jessica to know that sunlight can bring something other than temperature, and wants Jessica to know how colorful a bright world is, so he must cure Jessica's eyes at all costs.
Just as Jonathan was about to set his goal and cheer himself up, a small hand silently stretched out from the darkness and ghostly put it on his shoulder.
“!”
The excessive fright caused Jonathan to sit on the ground with his legs limp, and even the screams were killed in his throat.
In order to make up so many "Grand Rogue Adventure Tan", Jonathan can go to the bookstore to read the storybook, and at the moment when he was grabbed by the shoulder, Jonathan's brain made up the follow-up development of being caught by various demons and monsters that appeared in the story, which made his fear impossible to stop at all.
Jonathan crawled some distance on the ground in terror, frantically searching for something that had attacked him.
Not far away, a small, silvery-white ghost was staring at him with blood-drenched red eyes.
"Lu, Miss Lucia?!"
That's right, the ghost figure who put her hand on Jonathan's shoulder was none other than Lucia, who was staring at Jonathan with tears of emotion.
No, more than that, Jonathan felt like he saw a little star named 'Interested' in Lucia's eyes. This made Jonathan's heart tremble, and he subconsciously felt that it was definitely not a good thing to interest Lucia, after all, Lucia had always been the one who couldn't understand the situation.
Didn't find it...... Rather than ignoring Jonathan's unusual reaction, Lucia happily caught a cheering gesture.
"I'll silently guard your love, Jonathan. Come on, don't lose!"
Although being said to be love made Jonathan's face a little panicked, but now is not the time to care about such a trivial matter, Jonathan looked around with more panicked movements than just now.
"Are you looking for me?"
Einstein's voice came from behind, like a sound from hell, which made Jonathan's eyes black, and if he hadn't been sitting on the ground, Jonathan would have fallen headlong to the ground.
"I thought you were going to do something earth-shattering at night to avoid people's eyes and ears, but I didn't expect you to just tell a story. What a tenderness, Mr. Grand Rogue. ”
It's terrible, it's terrible, it's as bad as if the entire royal city had collapsed and smashed on top of me, resulting in an unimaginable amount of reparations in addition to my life. The only thing I didn't want to be discovered by Einstein, Jonathan worked so hard not to be found out was just to avoid being discovered by this guy who was black inside and out and would spit poisonous water, but he didn't expect to fall short.
Jonathan turned his head stiffly to Einstein, not knowing whether it was a light and shadow effect or an illusion, he always felt that Einstein's current smile was indescribably terrifying.
"Did you hear everything?"
"Of course, it's a very good story, especially the one where the black dragon is beaten, it's so heartfelt, it's passionate, it's the pinnacle, it's tear-jerking, it's touching, and I can't be moved enough. ”
Einstein bent down and leaned his face forward in front of Jonathan.
"So I decided to accompany you in the actual exercises, so that you can break through and transcend your own shackles. ”
Jonathan swallowed dryly, his wandering gaze did not dare to look directly at Einstein's abyss-like gaze, but even so, the coercion from Einstein's eyes made the nerves of his whole body sound the alarm at a loud voice.
"It's, actually, I like the black dragon very much, you, you see that the black dragon is not super handsome, and loyal. ”
- It's strange, loyal ghost, didn't they all betray in the story, Black Dragon. Jonathan broke out in a cold sweat as he spoke, he felt that his mouth had betrayed and he was out of control at all.
"It's a good friendship, and Einstein wants to support Jonathan's relationship, right?"
Lucia, who was completely in her own channel, suddenly poked her head in this direction.
"Of course, as our Lord has said. ”
Einstein put away his terrifying aura in an instant, straightened up and smiled back at Lucia.
"I was saved, I was saved......"
Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief, he just felt that he was really going to die under the pressure of Einstein, and this was the first time he felt this kind of coercion that almost produced real pressure. Although people who have been in positions of power for a long time can also feel oppressive, this is not in the same dimension as a sword drawn on paper and a real sword compared to the oppression of Einstein's gaze.
Jonathan is deeply aware that Lucia's disconnection is simply a winning weapon to free humanity from the clutches of the monster named Einstein.
PS: It seems that a big dividing line can't be displayed, so I just don't fight. Originally, I wanted to fix the number of words, but some readers said that they didn't want to see the story of the supporting characters, so I modified the plot a little and entered the protagonist's role as soon as possible, so the word count is a bit small, please forgive me. Finally, ask for recommendations.
