The Strausses passed away very early, and Elfman and Lisanna were brought up by Mira.

At that time, the three siblings lived together in a remote village, occasionally getting a little help from the villagers.

Although life is difficult, there are always some small warmth and touches.

When Mira talked about the poor life at that time, she smiled unconsciously on her face.

Even when she talked about being treated harshly by the villagers as a devil, she did not express her dissatisfaction with the villagers, but rather talked about how Lisanna spoke for her at that time.

When she was scolded, Lisanna would argue loudly;

If she was hit by a stone, Lisanna would throw the stone back and care about whether it hurt her.

He is a strong, kind-hearted child who will work hard to protect his sister.

Compared with her, Elfman's character seems too kind.

Rhodes listened to her quietly and left the village and came to the guild.

I heard her talk about Erza, Kana, Natsu and Gray in the past, but the focus was not on them, but on how the younger siblings got along with these people.

One ordinary little thing after another, it can be heard that when she first joined the guild, most of her thoughts were focused on her younger brothers and sisters, for fear that they would be wronged.

Although I later found out that there was no need to worry about that in a guild.

"But I ruined it all with my own hands. It was me who killed Lisanna, and it was I who caused Elfman to be trapped in infinite guilt and self-blame."

The warm and beautiful memories came to an abrupt end at this moment. Mira held her forehead with one hand and tears fell down.

"If I had not accepted that mission, if I had been as cautious as you at that time, if..."

Mira briefly supported Rhodes' shoulders and quickly sat up straight again.

In fact, you can borrow them at any time. Rhodes silently took out a few tissues and stuffed them into her hands.

I don’t blame Elfman at all, but I just can’t forgive myself?

Just now I was talking about Lisanna's kindness and Elfman's kindness.

Your family's kindness from the heart is clearly the same.

After she choked and wiped away her tears, Rhodes spoke:

"You did your best that day, right?"

"Before hurting Lisanna, was Elfman trying to contend with the Beast King's consciousness?"

"Did Lisanna feel afraid or regretful when she did that?"

The answer to such a question is obvious, and so is Rhode's meaning.

At that time, the three of them had done everything they could.

Punishing yourself with guilt, self-blame, and regret will neither change what has happened nor make the future better.

So, try to forgive yourself.

"I understand, thank you." Mira put on her usual smile, "I feel much better."

This is a lie.

In order not to let your good intentions go to waste, in order not to worry those around you.

Like Lisanna, whom she always praised, she is also a kind-hearted person who thinks about others.

"That's good." Rhodes didn't expose her.

How could the knot in my heart be solved with just one conversation?

The progress this time has been quite gratifying, at least she is willing to talk to him about Lisanna.

Mira reached for the coffee cup, but Rod snatched it away.

She looked at Rhodes doubtfully.

Rhodes pushed his coffee over: "You have suffered enough, let's get something sweet."

When Mira was wondering whether she should drink it, Rod had already taken a sip of her coffee.

"Well, I feel a little bit of the pain you have experienced. Next..." Rhodes put down the cup, "Add sugar, add sugar!"

Mira took a sip of his coffee, which was sweet. There was a hint of disgust in her smile: "Too much sugar."

Rhodes said matter-of-factly: "I like sweet things."

"So." Mira put down the coffee cup gently, "Since you have taken my coffee and you want to add sugar, what is the purpose of exchanging it?"

"The meaning...is the process of making it sweet?"

It can't just be a change for the sake of change. Luo looked calm on the surface, but in fact his ears were already heating up.

He didn't understand where he got the courage to exchange cups with her like this.

He thought for a while and asked, "How about changing it back?"

"No, that cup has almost turned into sugar water." Mira glanced at him and looked out the window without trace.

Take a sip and change it once, take a sip and change it once, wouldn't it be weirder?

"oh."

After sitting in the coffee shop for a long time, Mira almost regained her strength.

The two went to the restaurant in the south of the city as planned, and the atmosphere became much more normal.

The south of the city was an area that Rhodes rarely visited. Mira introduced him which shops were high-quality and low-priced, and which shop's boss only liked to offer discounts to beauties.

"It's too much to look at other people's food choices!" Rhodes said, "So, can I ask you to buy things for me in the future?"

"Okay, how about wearing something sexy?"

"Then forget it, it feels like it's too much trouble." Rhodes thought for a moment and then said,

"Why don't you teach me the magic of transformation? I'll go shopping like Jenny."

Mira's eyes curled up: "Okay, Rhodes is too bad."

Rhodes shook his head: "We know it's bad but we still agree, let's be mutual."

Slesholudo Restaurant is located near Magnolia South Exit Park.

The name is a bit difficult to pronounce, and regular guests like to call it the ‘threshold’ or ‘beginning’.

It means that when you come here, you can step into the threshold of happiness or get the beginning of a beautiful love.

The president didn't tell Rhodes this, he only found out about it himself.

As for whether Mira knew it, he didn't know. Anyway, he didn't refuse.

"Ah, it's a very lively restaurant." And most of the people coming in and out are in pairs. Mira looked at Rhodes, "Why did you choose this one?"

Because it has a good meaning.

You definitely can’t say that, so Rhodes chose to pass the blame:

"It was recommended by the president. He said the chefs here are very good."

Mira asked with a smile: "Is that so?"

"Of course, I'm sure every word is accurate!" Rhodes raised a hand, "The president said it's very good here."

The president is the one who takes the blame for everyone at critical moments. I, Luo, usually don’t get into trouble, so it’s not a big deal if I throw the blame away.

Mira nodded, "Zi Zi Zhu Ji" is a good word, but it doesn't seem to be true.

But there must be a reason for the president, well, I need to restrict the president’s drinking when I go back.

Ask for the review letter again.

He also had to write the guild mission statistics for last month himself.

“Welcome!”

"We made an appointment."

"This way please."

Rod and Mira walked into the restaurant among the young couples and walked to their reserved seats.

The menu here is the same as in the guild, with a variety of cuisines.

Rhodes looked at Mira and turned over the front page with some regret:

‘Sweet Couple’s Meal for Two’, ‘Eternally Bonded Meal for Two’ and other attractive-looking set meals.

I ordered two that I liked, one that might suit Mira's taste, and then asked her opinion.

There should be another chapter tonight
Chapter completed!
