Chapter 15
"Pepe, I remember... you seemed to be brought back to the Hearth House from Fontaine by [Mother]. Did you live in Fontaine before?"
In a carriage, Krevy was wearing a light yellow dress and a wreath woven with jasmine and rainbow roses on her head.
She still had the soft lantern necklace hanging around her neck.
Hearing Krevy's curious question, Peruvili, who was hiding under the black cloak, revealed a pair of scarlet eyes.
The eyes, which looked like mushrooms after being cut, stared at Krevy calmly.
"Well, I had a wandering life in Fontaine."
Peruvili replied.
"Ah? Sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your sad story." Krevy apologized quickly, clasping her hands together and bowing continuously.
"It's okay, I don't care."
Peruvili looked away, she looked at the tall and prosperous city not far away, and a strange emotion flashed in her eyes.
Fontaine...
Bread...
The good-looking God, the first person to show her tenderness...
"Hmm?"
Krevy tilted her head when she noticed something was wrong with her best friend. She moved her butt and sat next to Peruvili, stretching her neck and staring at Peruvili curiously.
What happened to Pepe?
I've never seen her like this before... It turns out that Pepe also has this side. I thought she was just a dull person.
But it's great... Pepe also has an unknown side. This kind of Pepe looks more like a child, not a cold sword in the hands of [Mother].
I really want to know why Pepe suddenly showed an expression I've never seen before.
Fontaine... Is there a friend of Pepe before he joined [House of Hearth] there?
Pah!
A hand wearing a thick black glove slapped Krevy's face, and then the owner of the hand exerted a little force to push Krevy's head away a little.
"Too close, Krevy."
Peruvili said in a cold tone, which seemed to have a hint of disdain.
"You can see the eye mucus, didn't you wash it clean?"
What?
"How is it possible! I wash my face well every day!"
Hearing this, Krevy immediately stood up, waved her hand, and refuted loudly.
"Why don't you take a mirror and take a closer look."
Peruvili stared at Krevy calmly and said.
This calm tone seemed to confirm the fact that there was eye mucus on Krevy's face.
Krevy didn't believe what Peruvili said. She clearly remembered that she did wash her face well this morning.
Although she didn't get enough sleep last night because of counseling Peruvili, Krevy, as a young girl, must care about her image.
It's rare to go to Fontaine to play, so Krevy naturally has to dress up beautifully.
But Peruvili's conclusive words shook Krevy's confidence.
Taking out the mirror she carried with her from her pocket, Krevy looked at it carefully.
The mirror reflected her as beautiful as ever!
"What! There is nothing good at all. Pepe, you are lying!"
Krevy put away the mirror and said angrily to Peruvili.
However, Peruvili, who was supposed to be sitting there, was nowhere to be seen. If it weren't for the temperature there, Krevy would have doubted whether Peruvili had come out with her.
"Pepe, where are you?"
Krevy looked around, looking for Peruvili.
"Behind you~"
"Ah!"
Peruvili's cold voice suddenly came from behind, scaring Krevy.
Bang!
Does it sound good? If it sounds good, it means a good start.
"Woo woo woo... It hurts!"
Krevy sat on the floor of the carriage, her back against the board, covering her head and crying in pain.
"Pepe! What are you doing? You scared me to death!"
Krevy angrily accused Peruvili.
You know, Peruvili's hiding skills are the best among all the children in [House of Hearth], and she can be said to be elusive.
Coupled with her unchanging dead tone, she can scare people to death by suddenly disappearing and reappearing behind you.
"You are too unvigilant."
Peruvili replied indifferently, and her dead face just looked at Krevy quietly.
"You...you..."
Krevy pointed at Peruvili, and under Peruvili's gaze, her anger became less and less, and she gradually felt guilty.
"Then don't scare me like this, I will be traumatized..."
Krevy muttered softly.
"Fear is a good thing. Fear means that you have remembered the lesson this time and have some precautions in your heart."
Peruvili returned to her seat, her hands folded across her chest, hiding in the blackUnder the cloak.
"Hmph! Hateful Pepe!"
Krevy curled her lips.
In response, Peruvili stopped talking. It seemed that after returning to her seat, she went offline again.
Her best friend no longer paid attention to her, and Krevy was bored playing alone, so she sat quietly in her seat.
The two of them sat in the carriage and entered Fontaine.
"Thank you, Uncle Genda!"
Krevy waved at the coachman who sent them into the city.
"It's fun. I'll stay in Fontaine for a few days. If you want to go back, come to the bar to find me!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand and shouted for the carriage to leave.
"Hehe, Uncle Genda is such a good person. With him picking us up, we can save a lot of money on travel expenses~"
Krevy said with a smile.
"Hmm..."
Peruvian nodded. She was also very confused about this uncle who lived near [Heat House] but was not [Mother's] person.
"Okay~ Let's go shopping!"
Krewei naturally took Peruvian's hand.
"Last time I came, I saw a very beautiful skirt, but unfortunately I didn't have enough money at that time and couldn't afford it. But this time is different. I have my own little money, and I must buy that skirt!"
Krewei's expression changed vividly, from regret to unwillingness, and then to excitement and confidence.
This is an expression course that Peruvian has to learn for a long time.
However, Peruvian clearly remembered that the last time they came to Fontaine was four years ago when [Mother] brought them here.
At that time, [Mother] was still pretending to be herself and weaving a false fairy tale for the children of [Heat House].
[Mother] took them to a rough tour of Fontaine, and they had lunch in a luxurious hotel.
That was the big hotel that Peruvian used to go to eat.
That time, Peruvian passed by the bakery where she had met the God, but the God was not there and the bakery owner did not recognize her.
At that time, Krevy did like a beautiful dress, but she had no money at that time.
So, was Krevy here to make up for the regret at that time?
What about her?
Who can make up for her regret at that time?
