"Is this the orphan of the Meralt family?"

"Yeah, she's the only one left. No matter how you say it, it's a sacrifice to protect everyone. There's only one little girl left, so let's protect it well."

"……I do not want."

The two people who were originally talking looked towards her with a little surprise. The slender and petite girl looked up at them timidly. Those beautiful sea-blue eyes were like the reflection of the depths of the sea, revealing a deep and distant feeling. of light.

"……I do not want."

She repeated it again.

Stubborn and stubborn.

The voice is small, but extremely firm.

"...I don't want to be protected. I also want to be strong."

She said these two words softly, and then refused to speak again.

"you……"

For a moment, Hayato Gujiji really couldn't treat her as an ordinary child.

"Judaimu!" ​​Prison Temple was the first to see the visitor, immediately diverted his attention, and walked over enthusiastically.

"Agang!"

Yamamoto also waved his hand over there, "Are you okay over there?"

"It's okay, Senior Skylark is going to deal with the aftermath."

Sawada smiled slightly, but there was not much relaxation in that smile, "That child, she..."

Before he finished speaking, the girl suddenly ran towards him and grabbed his hand.

——She remembered that this was the elder brother with a warm smile that she had seen before.

Dad said it was their ally.

"...Brother." The girl called out tentatively with a trembling voice, "I want to become stronger."

Sawada was slightly taken aback.

"Your...is your name Linde, right?" He squatted down, trying to keep eye level with the girl, "You probably know what happened, what kind of decision do you want to make next?"

He completely talks to this girl as an adult with equal status, and absolutely respects the other party's wishes.

"I want to become stronger, and I can do anything."

"Okay, I will arrange a teacher for you. You will live with us from now on."

"……Um."

"Also, there are relics about Mr. Meralt..."

The house was destroyed in a long-range bomb, and everything was blown to pieces, and nothing was whole.

"..."

The girl bit her lower lip and tightly clutched the corner of her clothes.

"If you want to cry..."

"I don't want to cry, I don't want to cry when I'm the only one left, I don't want to..."

The girl's voice gradually disappeared, replaced by transparent water droplets that slid down quickly, hitting the ground one by one, and evaporated in a blink of an eye.

Sawada reached out hesitantly and touched her head: "I won't be alone, Linde."

……

Linde is not good at fighting, and she tends to be weak physically.The flame attribute is sunny, so it would be nice if it exists as an auxiliary healing.

"No, I promised her." Sawada categorically vetoed, "At least let her be physical..."

"Since this is the case, Skylark should be the best teacher in gymnastics and fighting skills." Reborn, who had never spoken a word, said rarely, "That child is very determined, even if he is handed over to Skylark for training."

"But, Senior Skylark, he..."

According to the appearance that he doesn't like to gather together, and he doesn't like the so-called "herbivore" very much, it is still unknown whether he will agree.

"Let me negotiate with Skylark."

Reborn was the final word.

When Linde saw Skylark for the first time, she thought he was a very cold and difficult person to get along with.

"From today onwards, you will study with Skylark," Reborn told her.

Linde nodded obediently, took two steps forward, and bowed: "It's the first time we meet, Master Yunshou. I'm Linde Mailalt."

"Tsk."

As if seeing some unpleasant sight or thing, Skylark turned his face away impatiently, "Is it this kind of herbivorous animal?"

"Don't underestimate her, Linde's healing ability is very rare."

"Oh?" Hibari was still concerned about Reborn's words, "Isn't it just Qing's own activity?"

Reborn nodded: "Ah, it's even better than that. Probably because of this reason, so the quality of other aspects of the body is particularly poor."

"That can't hide..."

Yunque didn't finish his sentence, he glanced down, and the girl was looking at him eagerly.That look seemed to be begging for something, but he didn't dare to say it.

"..."

Like some kind of small animal begging for food.

The weak are extremely weak, and there is nothing they can do.

Linde is really a little afraid of Lark, trembling and apprehensive, for fear that he will not agree.

So when Skylark really agreed, Linde almost couldn't react, and didn't keep up with the pace, until the figure who had walked a few steps stopped suddenly: "What are you still standing there for?"

Linde just woke up like a dream, and quickly followed a few steps up.

Seeing her softness and frailty, as if she was about to fall after two steps, Yunque's face became a little colder.

"Let me see you like this again, and you don't come."

"……Yes!"

Linde responded quickly, afraid of being left behind.But she didn't dare to get too close to Skylark, so she could only hold the distance of three steps away and walk behind him on the right.

At the beginning, I didn't even dare to call him.

The daily conversations are very simple, except for training items and neutral answers, there is nothing else.

Although it is very hard, Mr. Hibari is really strong.

Linde's residence was originally in a specially arranged place, but she often had nightmares, and in order not to disturb others, she often went outside the house alone.This matter was accidentally discovered by Collom, who returned from a mission, and after obtaining the consent of Sawada Tsunayoshi, he invited Linde to live with her.

"……is it okay?"

The girl looked very uneasy and cramped, "I..."

"Of course you can."

Coulom's attitude was very gentle. For the child in front of him, everyone in Pengo Li had a compassionate attitude towards her.It's too obedient and strong, and more importantly, although his background is not the same, Coulom can often see in her a figure that overlaps with his own when he was a teenager.

"Just let me take care of you. I probably won't travel far during this time."

Unexpectedly, Collom discovered that Linde's observation and eyesight are very good, so she began to train Linde's ability in this area.

Linde is very courageous. Although she looks weak, she is quite interested in things like secret room and underground exploration.

——But if you really want to praise her for her boldness, she really can't bear to face something with a slightly more bloody smell.

Although Coulom himself could not bear this kind of thing before.

"...Ugh...Master Kirimori, I, I'll get used to it right away, don't worry about me. Hmm..."

After all, it was an age of instability, and Coulom really wanted to protect Linde, but he couldn't let her know nothing about these things.

"That child... Linde grows up very fast."

"Then it's strange that there are no results after working hard day and night."

"When I first met her, I never thought she would be such a strong child. It was really surprising."

"Well, no matter how strong you are, you need to take a break. ——Speaking of which, Collom's attitude may not be shocking, and Linde will listen to Hibari and Tsuna the most."

"Skylark...forget it." Prison Temple waved his hand, "Let's talk about it when Judaime comes back from the meeting."

"Speaking of Mr. Reborn, there has been no news since the last time I went to Germany. Otherwise, I can persuade this child to some extent."

"Yeah, count the days..."

The girl holding the document passed by, stopped politely when she saw this side, bowed and said hello to them: "Master Yu Shou, Lord Lan Shou."

"Linde, is this going to deliver documents?" Takeshi Yamamoto laughed, looking very happy, "How many times have I said it, I don't need to call it that."

"..."

The girl's head tilted slightly, and she blinked, "Mr. Yamamoto, Mr. Yuji."

Takeshi Yamamoto smiled helplessly: "It's called brother."

The girl nodded her head as instructed, her voice was soft and gentle, like a breeze, licking people's faces, making people feel happy.

"Brother Yamamoto, brother Prison Temple."

Caught off guard, he was called his brother's prison temple: "Hey, why... why do I have to..."

The girl lowered her eyes: "I was rude."

"That's not what I meant...ah, I'm so annoying, call me whatever you want...I'm not saying you're annoying. Ah——"

Prison Temple scratched his hair impatiently, as if he didn't know what to say was right.

Takeshi Yamamoto laughed loudly from the side: "Linde, don't worry about him, this guy is just like that. You call him brother, he is actually very happy."

The girl looked up at them, her sea-blue pupils were clear and bright.

"Okay, I know."

"I said you, what are you teaching her?"

The ominous background sound of the piano melody suddenly sounded, and Linde subconsciously looked behind her. Before she saw anyone, she shouted joyfully, "Mr. Skylark!"

The footsteps also moved towards him like a conditioned reflex.

This move obviously eased the displeasure that Skylark felt because of the scene just now.

"Didn't I ask you to send the documents over? Why are you dawdling?"

"Sorry, it was my mistake, I'll go right away."

In front of Skylark, the girl appeared to be very well-behaved, and even had an imperceptible dependence.

"and also--"

"Yes?"

"Stay away from these two guys, and let me see you gathering together, so you don't have to go to my place."

"I see!"

The girl's voice was clearly audibly tense.

"Let's go now."

An extremely cold and unhappy tone.

What confirmed this sentence was the figure of the girl running away immediately.

Mr. Skylark's words are absolute and undoubtedly the highest order.

Linde is convinced of this.
