Tasia thought for a moment and suddenly realized something: "...I didn't do it for the opportunity to quit!"
"I know you're not, so why?"
Tasia lowered her eyes slightly and hesitated, "Maybe I shouldn't say these words, because..."
"Speak directly."
"...I don't trust Rene," Tasia glanced at Hestad very quickly. "You have also seen that these days, not only has he been rude to Mr. Gobelin, but he has also secretly formed cliques and forced We act according to his wishes, and if anyone disobeys, he will use force... I know you seem to value him very much, but..."
"Rene still uses force?" Rico laughed, "Should you ask Bernhard for this kind of thing? Didn't he say before that he was responsible for maintaining order?"
Tasia shook her head: "It's useless. Rene will still abide by most of the instructions given to us by Mr. Gobelin...but he will steal our things. Yesterday, a box of Ms. Jacqueline's jewelry was stolen." He took it away by force. Some people had approached the general before, but he didn't care about such trivial matters - two soldiers came over and grabbed Rene by the collar, gave him a few verbal warnings of 'don't cause trouble', and that was the end... …In the end, those who complained to the general were severely punished by René’s men.”
"Can't you tell," Rico glanced at Hesta, "Rene is quite a fierce person?"
Hesta raised her head: "You don't trust Rene, so when you saw Rene running for the 'Adjudator', you decided to run too... Is that right?"
"Yes, if people like Rene became the 'arbiter', life would be really difficult for everyone. I thought I should do something - at least, I should stand up and give it a try. There are some things I shouldn't try. How do you know if you try it?" At this point, Tasia smiled bitterly, "Only after I tried it did I know that it really doesn't work -"
"Public speaking is a skill that requires training, and few people can do it well the first time." Hesta interrupted Tasia, "You need more practice."
Tasia was startled.
"I think this is a good try," Hesta said softly, "And I also remember that your name is Tasia."
When their eyes met, Tasia held her breath.
Looking into Hesta's eyes, Tasia intuitively felt that the girl in the wheelchair should be younger than herself, but her tone of voice, her eyes, her determined and casual attitude... were not like one at all. young people.
"...Thank you." Tasia murmured.
"People like Rene are not difficult to get along with," Hesta looked at her, "Can you think of a solution?"
Rico quickly pushed Hesta away. Tasia stood there and watched the three people leaving. She recalled Hesta's last words and forgot about other things for a while.
Think of a way?
...Is this something you can solve by just thinking of a way?
Perhaps for mercury needles like Hesta, people like Rene have never been difficult to get along with, so she would also feel that this matter is the same for other people, and they just need to "think of a solution."
But even so, this natural feeling is wonderful.
She tried to imagine Hesta's perspective, imagining her feelings when she said, "People like Rene are not difficult to get along with." Tasia couldn't help but smile - it seemed very uncomfortable to be pushed by someone like Hesta. It is easy for people to have an illusion. Even if they clearly see the gap between the two parties rationally, there is still a kind of enthusiasm aroused.
It's like she said that "speaking is a skill that needs training" and requires "more practice", and the same logic can be used to deal with people like Rene -
Just need to think of a way.
"What are you talking about? We've been talking for so long!"
Phillip's voice suddenly rang in her ears. Tasia woke up from a dream and couldn't help but take a step to the side. The stiletto heel of her high-heeled shoes was unstable and she lost her balance for a moment. Phillip took advantage of this and took Tasia's shoulder.
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay..." Tasia pressed her heart and glanced at Phillip, "...don't show up suddenly like this in the future, okay."
"Sorry, but you get nervous too easily," Phillip smiled and sighed, "Shall we go back and have something to eat? I'll take you back in a while."
"Thank you, but forget it." Tasia looked at the road ahead. The figures of Hesta and the three people had disappeared at the end of the road. Tasia looked away, "I'm going back first."
"Tasia!" Philip followed a few steps forward, "What are you going back to do now?"
Tasia didn't look back: "I'll go back... and think of a solution."
…
Hesta and Rico did not return to Chiba's room. They took Si Lei all the way back to their original residence.
"I really can't stand this door..." After entering the door, Rico stared at the door panel that was slowly closing, "I have to wait for so long every time!"
The door clicked and finally closed.
Si Lei had already walked to the door of Hesta's room, holding the door open for her and Li Ke.
Rico pushed the wheelchair and carefully pushed Hesta into the house.
Si Lei looked at the furnishings in the room and felt that there were still many things missing - for example, the accordion box that had been placed against the wall had probably been put away by Hesta.
There was a banging sound on the metal cabinet door. Si Lei turned around and saw Li Ge standing in front of the safe and operating it, not knowing what he was doing.
"Can you let me see the "Guide"..." Si Lei found a place to sit down, but when he looked up again, he saw that Hesta's hands were empty, "Where is your "Guide"?"
"Locked up." Hesta pointed behind her.
"...Didn't we come back to it? Why——"
Rico walked behind Hesta, "It's time to go to bed, Officer Si Lei."
"Let me read the Guide first, and I'll rest soon."
"How long will it take you soon? It will definitely take hours to study this thing," Li Ge put his hands on his hips, "And if you don't sleep, we will also sleep. We stayed up all night last night, and if we don't sleep again, everyone will Be stupid."
"I--"
"Lego has set a timer. This safe can't be opened until nine hours later," Hesta said softly. "Anyway, we can wait until night. My current physical condition... I really need to rest."
"Go to sleep, go to sleep," Rico locked the door, "Let's watch together when we wake up."
"...I'll give it to you," Si Lei sighed, "Okay, I'll go wash up."
The sound of water came from the bathroom, and Rico looked at Hesta.
"What are you looking at me doing?"
"...Since when did this shabby safe have a timer function? Why don't you just find a less obvious reason for prevaricating Si Lei? She discovered it right after she came over and took a look."
"You're right," Hesta laughed, "You will indeed become stupid if you don't sleep."
