Chapter 209: Fontainebleau Water Color

"Okay." The adult human male in front of you nodded expressionlessly. Although he agreed, you still felt that he was so cold and unkind.

Helplessly, you had to follow your stranger's friend and pull his clothes to check your ticket to enter. Fortunately, Sister Seruo only glanced at you and your friends around you, and that was enough for you to pass.

Walk a little further into the inner field, and make sure that the ticket gate is out of sight before you let go.

"That's all right now! Sorry, stranger, I was a little nervous and pulled your clothes..." You thought you were being very tactful, keeping a distance from him and politely thanked him, "Don't worry, I noticed it wasn't deformed!"

The other party maintains golden silence, accommodating you as you walk at a hopping pace towards the seat number corresponding to the ticket.

The magic show begins with the interweaving of ribbons and balloons, and reaches its climax amid cheers and the attention of the crowd. You only have one feeling about this -

"Miss Assistant is so pretty!"

First of all, there are the cat ears on her head, followed by the cyan-dyed hair on her forehead, and finally the pair of amethyst-like eyes.

After watching the assistant's (crossed out) magic trick, you touch the hair on your face and realize, a year late, that you finally understand little Lesko's urge to paint patterns on his face.

However, the difference is that you want to dye it more white, because the assistant's hair is mostly beige, with only a small tuft of blue on the forehead.

That little bit of color gave Meilushin an unexpected surprise... Maybe I should buy some powder before leaving for Fontainebleau Science Academy?

After the performance, the sun was already setting. You stood in front of the Oprykle Opera House with the crowd, finally understanding the sisters' good intentions in trying to keep you.

Oh! There's nothing I can do about it~it's just that popular!

We can only set off again tomorrow.

You were about to say goodbye to your partner in the show when you heard the guy next to you, who had always been indifferent, ask in a suppressed voice, "Do you... remember me?"

"A year ago...we met in the western suburbs of Fontaine."

“Huh?” You covered your mouth in surprise, looking up to meet his blinking eyes. No matter how hard you tried to recall, all you could remember was that day exploring the Narcissus Cross Kingdom with little Lesco, and how we almost had a fight…

"I'm sorry, I don't remember. Did anything important happen?"

"...No, nothing." He laughed twice. "It's not important. You probably...didn't notice me at all."

You quickly waved your hands, "How could that be? A strange yet kind friend, someone as gorgeous and beautiful as you, I'll never forget once I've met you."

"It's rare to see a human being with his face kissed by the sunset!"

“…”

He fell silent again, as cold and indifferent as at the beginning. Damn it, you've never been like this before. I wish I could speak more and say something nice.

The moment to break the ice was clearly right before my eyes, yet such a good opportunity slipped away. Why else would you choose to cling to this human being out of all the others? And now, I haven't even asked his name...

"That's right... the sunset, the sunset kissing you, should be similar to today's sunset... Yeah! (Nods)"

You hugged your hands and stammered, not knowing what you were saying.

After a long stalemate, he suddenly squatted down and looked at you straight in the eye. You took a few steps back in fear, but you didn't know what was going on.

"I, I can..." He opened his mouth as if trying to say something, but when he lowered his eyes, the words he said changed. "Thank you. You are the first one to praise me like this... Meilushin."

The human, whose name you didn't know, softened his gaze and smiled at you, then while you were stunned, quickly turned around and ran away.

He was lost in the sea of ​​people."

“Humans are such a nuisance to Mirusin…”

You stood beside Lujingquan, sighing with tangled feelings for the fourth time this morning.

Velada paused briefly during her patrol. "Little Impas, I often ponder similar questions, but I can't spend all day on them."

"Please tell me, who is causing you such trouble?" She put aside her doubts and said so solemnly.

Shaking his head, "I don't know."

"So, what is the reason for your such trouble, my dear brother?" she asked again.

You still shook your head. "I'm sorry, Sister Velada. I'm not sure. Perhaps my training with Sister Sigwen isn't enough. I don't know what that smile means."

Pink Meilushin acted like an older sister and earnestly offered her own solution, "Then I will use the power around me to help you."

…

It is not difficult to find that mysterious human being, the difficult part is yet to come.

Having met the other person, Seruo knew that you had casually dragged a passerby to watch the show. Not only that, this was not the most important thing she needed to worry about right now.

Most importantly, you're acting like you're completely lost. You've lost track of the goals you set long ago, and I don't know how long this will last.

Melusin and the others made a breakthrough quite smoothly thanks to the progress of their own investigation. However, when Fanseruo mentioned the characteristics of that face, most passers-by were able to recall it quickly.

"That human is a researcher at the Fontaine Academy of Sciences. His name is—" Serlo frowned and read out the information in a serious manner.

"Wait! Sister Sero! I don't want to hear my friend's name like this!" You suddenly spoke loudly in panic, trying to drown out the name that Sero was about to blurt out.

Seruo looked even angrier, put down the documents, put her hands on her hips and was about to say something.

Effie pressed her hands in the air a few times. "Alright, alright, everyone calm down. Little Impas, Seruo is worried about you too. Seruo, little Impas has only been out for a short time, there are many things he doesn't understand..."

Finally, you found your friend's location and met him at [Mojie Station].

Fortunately, Seruo didn't force you to pull my ears and tell you the name she found out.

"Great! I finally found you!" You intercepted him before the first patrol boat arrived in the morning. You immediately rushed over and hugged his thighs.

"You! Why...are you here?"

"I don't know your name yet!" You smiled and looked up, subconsciously swallowing the words "Your name is-" "We can only be considered friends after exchanging names. How strange, I thought we were already friends."

His eyes flickered just like the last time he suddenly ran away. After thinking about it for a long time, you realized that this was the expression of "wanting to cry".

It's sad, but I've been ignored for too long.

I can't cry anymore.

It's like little Lesco—a lot of people are bullying them, but you don't know who the bad guys are.

You didn't find the answer, so at this moment, you just smiled at him and said, "My name is Impas, and I'm Melusin's younger brother who's determined to find a way to make Melusin taller. I have so many Melusin sisters, I've lost count. What's your name?"

"...Burton." He opened his mouth and lowered his head weakly, not even having the strength to pull you away or touch your head. "My name is Burton."

You know, he's also asking for help.

Bolton was also calling for help.

Even quieter than little Lesco's cry for help."

"This is unusual, quite unusual even.

This made Seruo panic and feel like she was facing a great enemy.

He didn't even have time to find the other Melusins ​​at the Opikle Opera House to discuss things with, and he directly locked onto and found the human Bolton who had caused a stir not long ago.

"Mr. Bolton! I think you might not understand." Serlo slammed the table angrily. "For us, Melusin, the appearance of humans doesn't make much difference! So, please don't act like you're being bullied in front of me. It won't work for me!"

"Little Impas is the most easily bewitched among us. Only children who haven't been out of Haimo Village much would find such brightly colored flowers strange!"

2831479, no matter how you look at it, it's a respectable number. Adding the word "Mora" to the end increases its appeal tenfold, a hundredfold.

In small amounts, his youngest-born brother didn't even leave himself the money for a meal or a "Teyvat Omelette", but gave it all to the human in front of him.

This is the main reason why Seruo couldn't bear it anymore.

You also felt helpless. You had clearly explained before that Bolton's mother was seriously ill and needed a lot of money for treatment. That's why you took out the Mora savings you had accumulated in the year since leaving Haimo Village.

Losing Mora isn't a big deal for you. You still have a lot of spare parts (which count as Haimo Village currency), so you can swim back to Haimo Village and ask the other sisters for help.

The only problem is that these Mora were originally intended to be paid to researchers at the Fontaine Academy of Sciences - for researching a way to make Melusin grow taller.

However, you and Bolton have already reached an agreement. Bolton is also a researcher at the Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences. It would be better to find a friend you are familiar with than to find someone else. This can be regarded as a reward for him in advance.

You can slowly earn the remaining research funds together...

In Serlo's eyes——

Bolton (the pink beaver version shaking his head): I relied on my beauty to cheat your brother out of his money. If you can, catch me!

Even when you stood behind Violet, she thought you were guilty because of lust. In fact, you just felt that Serlo was a bit like the protagonist of the "I give you 5 million to leave my brother" plot.

I can't bear to look at it.jpg

Other than that, you don't see anything wrong with it. If a good friend's family is in urgent need of money, is there anything wrong with giving all your money to help them out? No.

What if the money is not enough after treating part of the disease? Then you still have to spend all the money.

Besides, it's not like you haven't done anything important. For example, you summoned Villette now because you discovered a lot of super villains.

This is much worse than the adults that little Lesko encountered. They would threaten and beat people. It was terrible!

Actually, you were originally looking for Sister Ou Feini from the Shadow Chaser Court—she's quite formidable. But, for some reason, Master Villette took over...

You don't quite understand what happened, but you just think it's good to have someone to help solve the problem. It's just a little curious. I just looked behind Villette for a few days, and I didn't expect something like this to happen.

Fortunately, Villette came forward to explain to Serlo, and you saw Bolton still sitting there in a trance, motionless."
