Chapter 203 Did I get into trouble?

At the same time, Aiwass also told Sherlock, who was living in the bishop's house, about what had happened in the past few days.

When Sherlock learned from Aiwass that Minister Droste was dead, he felt a little lost for a moment.

"What? You're used to resting and don't want to go back?"

Seeing Sherlock's expression seemed a little depressed, Aiwass raised an eyebrow and said comfortingly: "Why don't you just rest in peace like this. I think it's fine. The funeral has been held anyway."

"I can't die even if you die."

Sherlock lowered his head and continued writing. He responded coldly, "I never argue with patients. Go to bed first. If you want to argue, I'll wait until you wake up."

Not necessarily. I think you are more likely to die than me.

Aiwass said this in his mind but didn't say it out loud.

He stood up from his wheelchair and leaned over to see what Sherlock was writing.

Sherlock glanced sideways at Aiwass, without questioning his legs or shielding his eyes from the documents.

He just casually explained: "It's still the same as before."

"You haven't finished writing yet? The one with one hundred and forty shades of ash?"

"I've already written it. I'll verify it again. You can't make mistakes with this kind of thing, otherwise it will be a big trouble."

Sherlock explained, "This reference book was originally written to help supervisory bureaus and inspectorates in remote areas solve difficult cases... If there's something wrong with its content, it could actually become an obstacle to solving the case."

"So when are you planning on 'resurrecting'?"

Aiwass said: "Your parents are very worried about you."

"No rush," Sherlock said as he flipped through the book, "Mycroft can help with it."

His words revealed a faint admiration and belief in his brother.

"What about you? Just continue hiding here?"

"In a few days. After your final exams are over, I'll go home and talk to Mycroft about what needs to be paid attention to on the Glass Island, and then I'll go with you."

Sherlock said in a deep voice, "I've been investigating Eagle Point Village recently. That place is quite unusual..."

He turned around, his eyes, usually sleepy, now clear. His thin face, once slightly sunken and with prominent cheekbones, now had visible flesh; at least the hollows were no longer visible. His spirits, his complexion, and even his skin had noticeably improved.

I don’t know if it’s because Mrs. Mina took good care of him, or if Sherlock’s spirits improved after he stopped working.

Probably both.

——Because not working is really nice and good for your health.

After waking up the next day, Aiwass used the fire sacrifice method to restore his physical condition before going to school.

As a result, Aiwass taught a class in the morning, and heard from Isabel while having lunch together at noon... Master Janice might come over tonight.

"Master, what do you want to see me about?"

Aiwass was a little surprised.

"It seems to be something related to me?"

Isabel whispered, "But I didn't feel comfortable asking."

Is it related to Her Royal Highness the Princess?

That really made Aiwass a little confused.

But Isabel seemed to have recovered from yesterday's fear and was in better shape than she had been after Aiwass left. Perhaps Master Janice had spoken to her a few more times after Aiwass left.

"That's right."

Isabel hesitated for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Do you know how to play an instrument? Or... are you interested in learning one? It shouldn't be difficult..."

"Oh, I will."

Unexpectedly, Aiwass said directly: "I know a little bit of guitar... but I've almost forgotten it."

That's an understatement.

Because this is something he learned in his past life. His brain knows it, but his hands may not be able to do it now - he can actually play the bass, but that's not necessary to talk about.

However, the guitars of this era were somewhat different from the one Aiwass had learned. The one developed by Isabel's father was closer to the modern guitar. Aiwass didn't know if he had invented the "Albert guitar" at this time, so he didn't mention it.

"I see..."

Isabel nodded thoughtfully and took note of it, but she didn't say anything more.

Afterwards, Aiwass did not return to the dormitory to rest. Instead, he found a quiet place, got out of his wheelchair and took a walk in the garden under the pretext of "rehabilitation exercise."

Lily pushed the wheelchair and followed them with Shadow Demon.

——For some reason, ever since killing Droste, Shadow Demon and Lily have become much closer.

And Lily also became closer to Aiwass... unlike before, when she always carefully maintained a distance between master and servant.

If it was because of Aiwass that Shadow Demon reluctantly lent some of his power to Lily...

Ever since Lily completed the ritual of filial piety, the power of the Shadow Demon had settled down within her, as if she had gained the Shadow Demon's approval.

But this is fine. Lily's presence was already low, and after mastering the Spider Silk Seal and acquiring the Shadow Fiend, her presence became even lower. With the Shadow Fiend hidden in her shadow, most people wouldn't notice it.

Besides, Lily was wearing a skirt, so it was normal for the skirt to flutter in the wind and for the shadow to move a little - besides, the shadow demon could just hide in her skirt.

"I heard you were a hero yesterday?" Isabel asked with a smile.

"Just casually."

Aiwass simply skipped over it and did not continue to discuss the topic.

Perhaps because of his awkward personality, when he really talked to girls about the good things he had done, Aiwass always felt a little awkward.

He didn't like to talk about this kind of thing. On the one hand, he didn't know how to brag about himself, and on the other hand, he felt that it would make his motives suspicious.

This makes him feel a little embarrassed, like he is revealing his true feelings to others. There is a sense of exposure.

It would be better to tell a few lies, say something nice to make the little girl happy. Aiwass was much more natural at telling lies, and he could tell nice things all afternoon without repeating himself.

Although I was a little worried about how those people would spread my news yesterday and whether they would play tricks...but for this kind of thing, if I didn't hear about it, it was the same as if it didn't exist.

They soon came to a lake.

The lake is surrounded by a beautifully maintained garden, but only clumps of thorns remain in the winter.

There are many beautiful places like this at the Royal Law University, but it's been getting colder lately, and most students don't want to go out. That's why Isabel goes out for a stroll - she chooses to go out when there's no one outside.

"The lake there is very beautiful in the summer. There are fish in it. When I was a child, my sister was studying at the Royal Law University. She said you could fish there... I even pestered her to take me there."

Isabel whispered, "But it's frozen now... but I haven't tried it since I started school."

At that time, she was still very introverted and had no idea of ​​finding a place to play.

Every day after class, I would rush home to take the second round of classes, day after day, without any entertainment. I lived like a high school senior preparing for school.

"But the lake outside the Temple of Silver and Tin doesn't seem to freeze in winter."

Aiwass said casually, "Haven't you ever been fishing there?"

"...There are a lot of people coming and going there every day, right?"

Isabel was a little nervous, and even subconsciously straightened her back. "How can you fish in front of people? That's so rude, I'll get scolded..."

No, not necessarily. Not necessarily.

Aiwass thought to himself, your grandma is much better at it than you...she must have tried it.

After all, in this era, watching theater, fishing, playing cards, and chess were the few entertainment activities available. The rest were mostly harmful to the body or illegal.

But from this perspective...

"Are you still afraid of people, Isabel?"

Aiwass asked the girl next to him.

Isabel shook her head. "It's impossible to say I'm not afraid at all... but I'm trying very hard to correct it."

"It wouldn't be necessary to call it 'correction'."

Aiwass said softly, his voice gentle, "Because there's nothing wrong with that. Being afraid or not is your choice."

"What about Aiwass?"

Isabel put her hands behind her back, turned slightly sideways, and looked directly at Aiwass: "Do you want me to be scared?"

"Of course I hope you can be strong."

Aiwass said seriously and honestly: "Only for yourself... and for Avalon."

He finished the first half of the sentence, then decided it might be too intimate and inappropriate. It might scare Isabel and make her run away. So, Iverson paused before adding the second half.

Isabel just smiled shyly and didn't answer.

They chatted idly like this. It wasn't so much a stroll or a sightseeing trip as it was a leisurely stroll—no purpose, just walking and chatting.

The two didn't say goodbye until it was almost time for class.

"Ha... I'm so tired. I feel like my physical strength has really deteriorated... Please, Lily, take me back to the classroom."

As soon as Isabel left, Aiwass sat back in his wheelchair, closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap.

"Master," Lily's voice, with a faint smile, sounded behind him, "Why didn't you just stay in the wheelchair?"

"It's just politeness. After all, I'm not really sick... Letting the future queen walk next to me and chat with me would be a bit too much."

Aiwass made up an excuse.

This is of course also a lie.

The real reason was that…if Isabel looked down at him, he always felt that she had a motherly aura about her, which made him feel a little awkward.

——The previous advancement must have had a huge impact on her, Aiwass thought.

I'll just have to wait for the next advancement to dilute the impression... It's almost time anyway, and this weekend is the day for advancement.

When Aiwass and Lily finished the class, Aiwass saw an unexpected person at the classroom door.

"...Headmaster Meg?"

Aiwass blurted out: "Who are you looking for?"

Seeing the short, serious-looking old lady looking at him, he suddenly felt guilty.

"Of course I'm here to see you, boy!"

Meg said bluntly, "Come with me?"

As she spoke, she looked Aiwass up and down.

——Why are you looking for me? Have I done anything wrong?

Ah, that's not right...

Aiwass realized that he seemed to have deceived himself.

Because he has always committed many crimes.

...So, what bad thing was discovered? Meg seemed to be smiling, and it didn't seem to be a big deal...

Could it be that the incident of me molesting Isabel has been exposed...?
