book of contract

Meris held the wine and wanted to find Gladias, but he didn't expect that he had already left.

Just as she was walking back in disappointment, the tavern boy stopped her, "Are you Miss Merris?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Meris looked at the person in front of him, making sure he hadn't seen him before.

"It's like this. Before leaving, a gentleman entrusted you with a message. He said that if he met you, he would convey it to you. Because he left beforehand, we will have a drink together next time. Such a message." The man said Just bowed and left.

"Thank you."

Just such an ordinary sentence made Merris feel happy in her lost mood, as if the sun had driven out the thick dark clouds and fell on her heart, because such a message meant that Mr. Gratias had something to leave, Instead of forgetting the agreement with her.

The smile on the corner of her mouth has not disappeared yet. As soon as she came holding the wine bottle, she was patted from behind. She was so frightened that she almost dropped the wine bottle. Fortunately, she caught it quickly, otherwise the rare bottle of good wine would have contributed to the earth.She was even more relieved when she saw who was coming, "It turned out to be Fei Yin, she scared me to death."

Feiyin saw Mei Ruisi approaching the hotel from a long distance, and although she came out soon, she had a smirk on her face, so she followed up to take a look out of curiosity, but she didn't expect that Mei Ruisi didn't notice that she didn't say anything , and was so frightened that the wine almost fell to the ground, where did she go? "Why is Mereth here?"

"It was better to have a drink here with Mr. Gratias, but he seems to have left beforehand." Facing Feiyin, Mei Ruisi didn't hide anything, and seemed to feel that there was no need to hide it.

However, what surprised Mei Ruisi was that Feiyin folded her arms and frowned and thought for a long time, "Who is Gratias?" Except for Kira or people who have been in contact for a long time, useless passersby never exist in her system for a long time record.

"Huh? Didn't Feiyin know Mr. Gratias?"

Mei Ruisi's words made Feiyin fall into deep thought again, and after an unknown amount of time, a flash of light flashed in her mind, "It's that long-haired, always smiling, always wearing baggy clothes, pedophile smoking gun ?”

Mei Ruisi seemed to be struck by lightning for a moment. She didn't know how to answer. It was not because Feiyin's description was not vivid, but because it was too vivid and specific, which made her unable to answer. The perfect image of Mr. Latias in her heart was shattered, "It's true that he has long hair, and it's true that he likes to smoke...but Mr. Gratias is not..." A pedophile.

Before she could say the next three words, she was interrupted by Fei Yin, because to her, it was right that Gratias was that person, so what Meris said later was not important.

Feiyin told her straightforwardly, "If it's that guy, Merris should stop dating him."

"Eh?"

"That guy is dangerous, not a good guy."

"I know, he and I are not from the same world, he even killed a lot of people, I know that."

This time it was Feiyin who was surprised, she stared blankly at Mei Ruisi and stopped in her tracks.

But Meris was caught in his own thoughts and memories, as if Mr. Gratias had said something similar, saying stay away from him, the farther the better, he is not a good person.

But a really cruel villain will not drink alcohol to the cold moon alone and show nostalgic expression, will not have such a lonely and sad back, and will not reveal his dirty, bloody and cruel side, just to make her feel scared and stay away from danger of.He looks like a bad guy, but he is actually a very gentle and silly good guy, who just can't express himself.

——Helping you, saving you is just a whim for me, not on purpose.You just happen to need someone to help you, and it doesn't matter if that person isn't me.

——But it was you who saved my sister and me. There may be countless possibilities, but among those possibilities, it was you who saved us, not others, you are our benefactor.To me, you are a good person.

- good guy?That's because you don't know how many people's blood is on my hands. If I kill you, would you still dare to say that?

——If my life was not saved by you, I would have died a long time ago, so it doesn’t matter if you want to take away this life that survived because of you.

——The life of your sister is the same for you?

Merris still remembered that Mr. Gratias smiled at that time, but even though he was smiling, there was no warmth at all, only a kind of cold spread from the depths of his spinal cord all over his body.

It was a cruel smile that killed people and didn't care about anything.

She didn't doubt the authenticity of the other party's words, and even believed that if he could say it, he would be able to do it, so she hesitated,

Threats at the cost of her sister's life, she admits she was intimidated.

So here's what she said.

——As long as I can spare my sister, I can do anything.

——No, if you know, stay away from me.

Obviously she was about to tremble with fear, but at that time she didn't retreat.

Looking back now, I still find it unbelievable, obviously her breathing and voice trembled at that time.I couldn't stand on both legs, but I didn't retreat abruptly. Where did the courage come from at that time?

But she is also very fortunate now, because she knew that once she retreated at that time, she might never be able to get close to that person again.

——... If this is your wish, even so, I will not change my attitude, even if you threaten me, even if you call you a bad person.But what is the definition of a bad person? Isn't it all the opinions of others? All of these are just different positions, so for me, you are a good person.

——I am just a coward who bowed his head to reality.

Although he didn't look back, his pain could be felt from the answer he gritted his teeth. Mr. Gratias must be reconciled to the fate he couldn't choose, and the weakness he couldn't struggle with, right?

In the end, the back view of Mr. Glatias’s departure is something I can’t forget until now, with a sense of embarrassment, as if someone was chasing him, obviously she was just an ordinary girl with no power, wasn’t she, Gula at that time Mr. Tias never even laid his eyes on her, not even once...

Mei Ruisi can only faintly feel it now, probably because she still has a younger sister, and she is still happy.

Mr. Gratias is envious of her who has happiness. He feels that his existence will destroy her happiness.

"I used to have a younger sister, did the boss say that? I'm not a primitive citizen of this village. I came here from wandering in the outside world, so I was very embarrassed at that time. Only my younger sister depended on each other. Living a life is not as good as an animal. It is not uncommon to be hungry for a few meals before getting enough food..."

Feiyin looked at Mei Ruisi's profile and was speechless, because she remembered that the female boss couldn't get away to ask her for help, and sent all the unsold meals to an alley, and she saw that in that alley There are countless people who don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes. The real slums are the shadows hidden in the happy world.

The female boss said that she wanted to help them under limited conditions, not because of sympathy, pity, nor for any reward.I just want to do this, because in this world, it is impossible for everyone to live a happy life, and there is no way to make everyone happy. As for whether they can get rid of this predicament, it still depends on those people themselves.

The female boss also said that this was Meris' idea, and she agreed to such an approach only because she was moved by Meris' idea.

If she was a little confused at the beginning, now she understands why Meris has such an idea. This idea must come from her own actual experience.

Mereth's words continued.

"For a little bit of food, I have to do my best to snatch it, even if that little bit of food is not enough for my sister and I to share the food, you probably can't imagine it, two thin children can't eat enough and don't wear warm, sometimes in order to grab A little food, you will be beaten by countless people..."

Mei Ruisi recalled the past, his eyes became farther away, filled with darker things, the pain and hatred he experienced would not disappear with time, but would slowly settle, condense, and become another kind of harder thing.

Feiyin remained silent, because as a powerful weapon, the mood and struggle of the weak would never be understood. It was conceivable but she couldn't empathize with Meris who experienced it herself.

"At that time, there were some powerful and powerful people who disliked the poor and specifically made trouble for us. Everyone fled and scattered. I took my young sister and I couldn't escape. I knew that if I was caught, I would be beaten. Death, but I have no choice but to hug my sister tightly in fright, at that time Mr. Gratias saved my sister and me."

"And the other thugs were all killed by him. Seeing the blood of countless people, I was frightened and stupid, so I knew at that time that the people I met might not be good people. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are powerful devils .But... so what?"

Yeah, so what... It doesn't matter to her whether he is a good guy or a bad guy.

As long as the result of him saving himself and his sister is enough.

I still remember that when Gratias killed people, he still had a wanton smile, as if he was not killing people, but doing something very pleasant. Although it was an extremely bloody act, he did it extremely calmly.

Mei Ruisi just covered her sister's eyes, but forgot to close her eyes and stare blankly at that scene. She probably will never forget in her life, the kind of beauty that people can't look away from his cruel terror.

"Even if my sister died, he saved us. Even if this is a whim that anyone can do, but until my sister died, I didn't receive any bullying. The short time of peace was all because of his relationship. This is enough, the fact that Mr. Gratias saved me cannot be changed in any way, no matter how many people he killed, he is a good person and a benefactor to me."

"I see, I'm sorry." The good guys and the bad guys come from different angles and standpoints. Feiyin knows this, so she apologizes for her words.

"It's nothing." Meris smiled and waved her hand to let her not mind, "Because Feiyin is like my sister, every time I see Feiyin, it's as if my sister is still alive in this world... Feiyin Both Yin and Mr. Gratias are people I like, so I don't want to hear Fei Yin say something bad about Mr. Gratias."

"Well, I see." Feiyin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Meris, your sister..."

"He's dead." Unlike Feiyin's hesitation, Meris admitted calmly, "My sister has been weak and sick since she was a child. Even though I protect her everywhere, it's normal for her not to survive the winter in such a living environment. ...She died suddenly after her condition worsened once, but her expression was very calm, maybe it was God's mercy, she walked away without any pain."

"..." Feiyin didn't know what to say, let alone how to comfort her. She always felt that comforting words were hypocritical. No matter what tone she used, she couldn't change the essence of sympathy and pity, so she didn't want to say that kind of words. talk.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, so Feiyin shouldn't show such an expression. Sometimes I also think that for my younger sister, death is probably a relief, at least she no longer has to live with me. Living in the pain of not wearing warm clothes, everyone will die one day, God just took her away in advance." Meris seemed to have sensed Feiyin's thoughts, showing a bright smile, without any sadness, maybe That kind of sadness was hidden deeply by her,

"She asked me to live a good life before she got sick, and I will not forget it, so I also decided to live a good life as she expected."

I also thought about why she was the only one who was lucky enough to be rescued by Mr. Gratias, and why she and her sister were the only ones who hadn't been killed after seeing that scene...

Later, when she learned that he had a very respected elder brother, her doubts were answered.

Mr. Gratias said that because of his incompetence and weakness, knowing that his brother was in danger, he could only watch his most beloved brother fall off the cliff and die.

Only then did she understand why Mr. Gratias saved her, because she was dependent on her younger sister and desperately protected her, reminding him of the past, the time he spent with his brother.

He looked for the shadow of happiness in her.

Because when people are in pain, they always want to find a comfort. Whether it is someone who has experienced the same experience as oneself, or someone who has experienced a similar experience, looking for the shadow of oneself in the other party, watching the other party's happiness, it seems that the happy self will never be obtained. , also happy.

At that time, Mr. Gratias probably hoped that she would protect his sister and protect her happiness.

Merris smiled wryly, perhaps even Mr. Gratias hadn't imagined that she would lose her sister and witness her sister's death with her own eyes, and the tragedy of her life was one step closer to him.

Around that time, the relationship between her and Mr. Gratias got closer, and Mr. Gratias no longer avoided her.

"I can even say that I am very happy now. I met the female boss, met Kira, and even got to know you and Mr. Gratias. Feiyin, I am very happy."

"..." Feiyin was silent for a moment, the corners of her lips raised slightly, "Well, me too."

Nice to meet you all.

It's a pleasure to meet you all.

Therefore, very happy.

"Kira, there is a festival in the village today, let's take Feiyin to see it."

"Festival?"

"Yes, it is an annual festival. Not only will there be beautiful fireworks, but there will also be a singing competition. It is a good time for men and women to confess their love. As long as you are not married here, you can confess your love to the person you like on the night of this festival. So even if you and her are a recognized couple, it doesn't mean that others have no chance."

"..." Kira was stunned for a moment by the message from the proprietress, but didn't recover for a while.

Seeing his appearance, the proprietress blinked narrowly at him, "I will give you a free vacation tonight, remember to hold on to Feiyin so that you don't get lost in the crowd. You know, the young man who likes Feiyin A lot of them are supported by fireworks as the background, which can enhance the relationship."

Hearing this, while Kira couldn't laugh or cry, she also secretly made up her mind to hold her tight.

"Festival?"

"Yes, there will be a lively and interesting festival tonight, I will take Feiyin to see it."

"Um, okay."

Hearing Feiyin's answer, Meris laughed in her heart. She believed that Kira must have got the news of the festival from the female boss at this moment. If she knew that she had taken Feiyin away, she would be very depressed, right? Looking forward to that scene.

She didn't make an appointment with Mr. Gratias, so she couldn't make Kira too happy. Thinking of Kira being able to hold Feiyin in his arms every night, she was itchy with jealousy. You know, she also wanted to hug her. Sleeping with Feiyin!Thinking about it this way, the little apology he felt towards Kira for taking Feiyin away disappeared in an instant.
