Personality V: I will save everything

Why...why did things become like this? …?_?

Muro looked at the "behemoth" docked at the port in front of him and couldn't figure out why he was standing here.

Muro's last memory was that the manor owner smiled and told him that there was a task for him, and then... Muro couldn't remember clearly what happened next, but he never understood why. I was staying in the manor just fine, but suddenly I had to go out... and have to travel far away (╥w╥`).

Muro stood there, wanting to cry without tears, and his wild boar seemed to be aware of his master's depressed mood and kept nuzzling him with his nose.

But unfortunately, the comfort of the wild boar cannot change Muro's mood. Now he just wants to go back to the manor or find a dark corner to stay, instead of standing in the street and attracting attention.

Yes, that's right, "to attract people's attention".

Mainly because Muro's current dress is so inconsistent that it can be called weird.

Muro was not wearing his original tattered clothes. In fact, after he arrived at the manor, all his clothes had been changed into clean and neat ones.

Even his wild boar was cleaned from top to bottom.

But this is what people think is weird about him, because who has ever seen a well-dressed man carrying a wild boar on the street? !

And although Muro is dressed in upper-class clothes, his behavior and temperament don't give people the feeling of a person from the upper class at all. Instead, he looks like a savage running around in the jungle. Feel.

To put it bluntly, the man in front of him felt like a guy who was out of society and was forcibly put on a noble suit.

But of course, the people around them were just thinking in their minds, and they couldn't really say what they were thinking, because they knew it with their butts and wanted to steal a set of noble clothes, and what they stole was completely The size fits, how small is the probability! The clothes the man in front of me was wearing could only be his own, not something he had stolen.

The people around him only thought that he was a rich man with weird behavior and weird temper. But because of this, all their eyes were focused on this strange man, because they had to know how arrogant those upper-class guys were. They are cautious in their words and deeds, as if they were carefully designed puppets in a music box. There are not many weird guys like this.

Precisely because they were rare, the people around him and even those passing by stopped and focused all their eyes on Muro.

Muro stood on the street, almost breaking out in a cold sweat. He wanted to run away quickly to escape the eyes of these people, but his legs refused to obey and froze in place.

The eyes of the people around him seemed to be devouring him.

But the good thing is...

"Muro, you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time." Norton came forward and patted Muro on the shoulder from behind.

Originally, they planned to sail immediately, but after communicating with Jose Baden, everyone unanimously decided to wait a few days before sailing.

Mainly because the weather is getting warmer now, and changes in air pressure on the sea level may cause storms. It is best to wait a few days before sailing.

So while waiting for a while, everyone decided to take a stroll in the nearby towns.

Originally, Norton took the three Will brothers and Muro to stroll on the street, but just now, the three Will brothers were attracted by the products displayed in the window in front, so Norton accompanied them to go shopping.

Then... as soon as Norton turned his head, Muro disappeared.

Norton was so frightened at the time that he even felt his heart stopped beating for a moment. Fortunately... With the intention of giving it a try, he walked back the way he came, and finally found Muro on the street. .

Mainly because the commotion on the street was so conspicuous that Norton could see Muro standing in the center from a distance.

"Don't run around next time." Norton patted Muro's shoulder and said. God knows, when he just discovered that Muro was not there, his heart almost stopped.

Muro glanced at Norton, but did not say any rebuttal after all.

In fact, it was because the three Will brothers saw the products in the window and ran away. In order to catch up with them, Norton ran away with them without thinking. In the end, only Muro was left alone. Standing still.

But Muro did not say these words after all, because he felt there was no need to argue and he was not qualified to argue.

This is a truth I have learned since I was a child. Never argue with someone who is stronger than you, because they don't want to listen to your reasons at all.

...............

Norton scolded Muro a few times, but Muro kept his head down the whole time, and Norton didn't know if he listened.

And with the three Will brothers also coming over, Norton didn't want to continue the topic.

Throughout the whole process, Muro still lowered his head. He didn't want to see how well the three brothers Norton and Will got along, as this would only make him more sad.

It was the same in the circus before. Muro was locked in a cage. He kept his head down the whole time, not daring to look at the tourists coming and going. How good the relationship between them was, because it would only make him It’s just that I have expectations, but this expectation can never be realized.

"Here you go." Suddenly a voice recalled Muro's thoughts.

The three Weir brothers held up something and handed it to Muro.

This is what the three Will brothers were in the store just now and asked Mr. Norton to buy it for them. They thought that Mr. Muro would also like this thing.

Since entering the manor, the three Will brothers have only met Mr. Muro once at that Christmas party. They thought that Mr. Muro usually didn't like to communicate with others, so they decided to take the initiative.

Muro was stunned to see the thing given to him by the three Will brothers. It was a kaleidoscope.

Muro put the kaleidoscope close to his eyes and observed the scene inside. It was colorful, ever-changing and beautiful.

"...Thank you..." Muro didn't know how to express his gratitude, so he could only say this.

Suddenly, Norton patted Muro on the back and said, "Sorry," Norton just remembered that it was because he had just thrown Muro into the street alone in pursuit of the three Will brothers and them, "Sorry, I won’t leave you alone again.”

Muro didn't know how to answer. No one had ever said "sorry" to him since he was born. It was also the first time since he was born that he had received a gift in the true sense.

The survival instinct cultivated since childhood told him that at this time, he should lower his head, stop talking, and don't answer.

But Muro's hands tightly grasped the kaleidoscope in his hands.

From this moment on, Muro seemed to understand something.

Muro always thought that there was something wrong with the people around him. Each of them had a strange smile on their face, and everyone pointed at him, so Muro created a survival guide that was unique to him.

Now Muro understands that the person with the problem is himself, this cruel and gentle world that he has been avoiding.

"Really?" Muro's voice was very small, almost imperceptible, but deafening because this was the first time he wanted to respond to the world.

Murrow wanted to ask Norton if what he said was true? Will you never leave him alone again?

"..." But Norton opened his mouth, looking very surprised (?O?)!

Norton was as shocked as when a mute suddenly spoke in front of him! ! ! ＼(◎o◎)／! ! !

Norton's reaction was not exaggerated at all. Since Norton knew that there was such a powerful figure as Muro in the manor, he also knew about Muro's strange personality.

That is, as long as someone communicates with him, he will never speak. Moreover, not only did he not speak, he also lowered his head so that others could not see his expression at all.

To be honest, for a while, Norton really thought Muro was a mute.

Norton spent a lot of effort to reattach his dislocated jaw.

Then he formally answered Muro's question just now, "Of course it's true. I will never leave you alone again, not only in my manor, but others will also never leave you alone again."

Of course what Norton said was true. In fact, everyone in the manor had been trying their best to get Muro to leave his "small room".

But it is obvious that Muro has been self-isolating for too long, and everyone's efforts are like stones sinking to the bottom of the water.

Now that Muro himself spoke, Norton felt as if he was watching his own child walk, even though Norton was never married and had no children. ┐（─__─）┌

But this is how Norton feels, or this sense of accomplishment is unparalleled. Norton feels like he is about to shed tears. (?д?; )

But the three Weir brothers did not have as big a reaction as Norton, mainly because they had just arrived at the manor not long ago and they did not know enough about Muro. They just wanted to successfully let this taciturn man The gentleman spoke and felt happy.

...............

Norton and his friends are celebrating, but Natasha and Jack are not so happy...

After being separated from Norton and the others on the street, Natasha and Juke planned to have a date that was exclusive to them.

But gradually, it didn't take long for the two of them to feel that it was no longer interesting.

Mainly because the small town near the port is not that big or prosperous. Most of the things sold in the shops are very small and very rough.

And the two of them had had enough of the whispers around them.

Natasha and Jack both look like nobles, not to mention that Natasha's belly is becoming more and more obvious now. You know, those noble ladies will stay in their mansions as long as they are pregnant. , they don’t go out the door, don’t step out the second door, and don’t even see people very often, because they absolutely don’t allow themselves to be exposed to the public while pregnant and out of shape.

People even think that these are the norm, and even some wives of common people will hide in their houses and not go out if they are pregnant.

So now that there is such a pregnant woman walking on the street who doesn't care about the eyes of the people around her, it is inevitable that the people around her will discuss her.

Originally, Natasha and Qiu Ke didn't care about this kind of discussion at all, but they couldn't stand the flies that kept buzzing in their ears, and there was really nothing to see on the street, so they decided to go back. .

However, it was because they returned to Jose Baden ahead of schedule that they encountered what happened next.

At that time, Jose Baden was doing some bad things with Gabriel...very bad things!

This can be regarded as one of the "abnormalities" that Jose Baden discovered in Gabriel.

José Badem once accidentally knocked a glass of grape juice into Gabriel's hand.

You should know that the grape juice during this period is usually crushed together with the skin, pulp and seeds.

In other words, it is very easy to dye, very easy to dye, and difficult to wash off. You can refer to some of the current red dragon fruits.

At that time, although Jose Baden immediately helped Gabriel wipe the grape juice off his hands, some purple color was still left on Gabriel's hands.

This was originally a small thing, and Jose Baden didn't pay much attention to it, but until the next day...

Jose Badem noticed that the purple color on Gabriel's hand was missing.

At that time, Jose Baden felt something was wrong. Although he knew that the color could be easily faded, was it too fast?

So Jose Baden did a little experiment:

He used an indelible red ink to write his name on the back of Gabriel's right hand, and then kept Gabriel's right hand from getting a drop of water for a whole day.

Then the next day the red name disappeared.

This is another "anomaly" that Jose Baden discovered on Gabriel, that is, no matter what traces are left on Gabriel, they will disappear without a trace the next day.

And then, that’s it. Then, let’s turn the time back to the present…

Since Jose Baden learned about Gabriel's "abnormality", to be honest, he has done a lot of bad things →_→.

For example, right now...

Originally, when everyone had gone out, only he and Gabriel were left alone, so Jose Baden thought of doing bad things again.

He took off Gabriel's clothes, leaving only a red cloth barely covering his body, then exposed Gabriel's entire back, and asked him to lie on the bed. Then he took out the paint he had prepared in advance and added some paint to it. There is a picture painted on Bailie's back.

Jose Baden painted the Thames, a very famous river in southwest England. Countless painters have painted it.

But Jose Baden believes that no matter how famous a painter is, their canvases will never be more stunning than his.

The snow-white body was decorated with countless expensive pigments. Jose Baden's right hand kept shaking. In order to prevent the brush from going to the wrong place, he had to use his left hand to hold down his shaking right hand and reluctantly continued to paint.

The guilt of defiling a pure angel made Jose Baden almost unable to breathe.

The sense of guilt tortured his conscience, and at the same time gave him infinite pleasure in the evil in his heart.

This contradictory feeling made him want to sink and escape at the same time. He hoped that someone could wake him up.

Jose Baden wished that Gabriel could stop him even if he had even an idea of ​​resistance.

It's a pity that Gabriel can't, he can't even understand why Jose Baden does this.

But I don’t know if Jose Baden’s thoughts were really heard by something. Someone did stop him, but the person who stopped him was not Gabriel.

To be honest, when I opened the door, I saw such an... indescribable scene in front of me.

Natasha and Juke's minds went blank. (゜ロ゜)
