After that, he had no choice but to rush to the Immortal Fortress to solve this problem.
Of course, it is different from the usual big shopping. This time, I just buy enough ingredients for a meal like other people do.
But when I entered the city gate, I found a large group of people gathered around the bulletin board at the door.
I moved forward curiously, but found that there were too many people, so there was no way to squeeze in to see what was inside, and it was not convenient for me to use magic in this place, so I could only ask the person next to me who had just squeezed out. A person's sentence.
"Excuse me, please ask...what is happening here? Why are there so many people?"
"Those aristocratic gentlemen are absolutely crazy!" The people who came out said angrily, "They actually summoned migrant workers locally! They said they wanted to build a new railway!"
I said a little strangely: "This seems to be no problem, right? Isn't building a railway a good thing? After all, our railways here are already so old."
"They want to go out and build the railway." The man said, "They will build it all the way to neighboring countries, but that's it. Those nobles are stubborn and don't want to spend half a penny more, so they spend it with a big wave of their hands on the map. A straight line! You know, this has to pass through the demon territory!"
"——No way?" I was a little dumbfounded.
"Maybe it comes out as soon as it comes to mind, hey!"
The man left with an indignant look on his face, and I walked out of the crowd with a baffled mood.
What he said is indeed correct. The behavior of the nobles is really confusing.
But considering that this matter seemed to have little to do with me, I just laughed it off as a mysterious operation by the nobles of this world.
Later, Teresa was sent back by Aidolu.
Now she looks less reserved and has a calming aura about her, as if she were the head maid of a large family.
But when Aidolu disappeared, Theresa's whole posture collapsed slightly.
Although it can still be seen that she is trying her best to maintain a calm posture, she is obviously relaxed.
"...Are you so afraid of showing off your love?"
"Hey! No, it's not!" Teresa quickly shook her head, "Miss Aidolu is a very good person!! She taught me a lot and promised to teach me how to read during the day!"
"That's it-"
As expected, Aidolu is more sharp-tongued and soft-spoken.
I smiled and touched Teresa's head.
"Ah, you don't have to stay in such a tense state all the time. It's not a bad thing to take a break once in a while."
Teresa swallowed slightly and stuttered slightly: "Is it really okay!"
"The hotel doesn't need to have such high-quality attendants..."
Rather, it doesn't seem right to have such high-quality talents in such a remote and shabby hotel.
"In that case, I won't be able to help you much..."
Teresa's voice gradually weakened.
He seemed a little frustrated.
"It's not necessary. Normally, you just need to be yourself."
I rubbed the back of my head awkwardly.
After all, I don't really comfort people, especially when it comes to children.
"This place... can be regarded as your second home after all, so it would be bad if you are so reserved at home."
Teresa was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and looked at me, her lips seemed to be trembling slightly as she gasped for air.
And obviously, my prediction was right.
When the process reached the third cycle, Teresa finally couldn't help but deflated her mouth slightly, and then cried "Wow" for the rest of her life.
So comforting children is really not something I’m good at! ! ! !
"Wait, wait, why are you crying! Could it be that this place is too simple as a home? In that case, the Demon King's Castle——"
"No, no!" Teresa choked and said, "Just, that's it, I like this place very much!"
She wiped her tears violently, then forced herself to put on a strong face and said, "It's very good here, I really, I really--"
"I'm very satisfied! Wow——"
The result was another burst of tears.
So no matter how you look at it, it looks like you are criticizing it!
"The hotel will definitely be repaired in the future!!! So don't cry-"
"No, I'm just." Teresa kept wiping her tears with her sleeves, her eyes turned red from the kneading, but you could vaguely see the slightly raised corners of her mouth behind her arms, "I'm just very happy, so happy that I even cried. Can’t stop.”
"I once thought I was going to die, but now I meet you..."
Sniffing, Teresa said: "Boss Lin, you are really, really a good person!"
This co-author has been brewing for a long time just to send me a good person card, right?······
I smiled.
But it's really nice to be able to do this.
I gently took her hand and led her to the bathroom with some helplessness.
"Hurry up and wash it first. There will be tears all over your face. It will make your face red from crying."
Teresa's emotional expression seemed to have stopped a little now. She sniffed gently and whispered: "Yes, I'm sorry."
"Wouldn't it be too outrageous for a family to say such kind words?" I reluctantly opened the magic circle, and the gurgling water gathered under the influence of magic. "Don't cry easily in the future. You must learn to be strong no matter what." .”
Even when alone.
Teresa nodded obediently.
Although this is a cruel fact, it is nevertheless clear.
——There is no way I can follow her forever.
She is not the same as me.
She is a demon.
Even if she could easily cover up her past when she was young, when she grows up, various things will inevitably happen that can reveal her identity.
If the relationship between humans and demons does not change significantly, then she will eventually return to the demons.
So no matter what, we can't let her get too familiar with human life. In this case, her development will not be so smooth after returning to the demon clan.
While thinking, I wiped the water stains on her face with a towel.
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."
Facing Teresa who was gradually calming down, I turned my head and looked at the person who had been watching us quietly behind me as if to escape.
In other words, the "Sword God".
"Let me introduce to you, this is Villier - er, the partner we met during this adventure."
In other words, they are the kind of accomplices who really cannot be separated.
Teresa raised her head and said with some curiosity: "Hello, Sister Wei..."
