Hemer's answer was a little pale, and Talina could hear a hint of powerlessness in her words.

Yes, it was a bad feeling that her teacher had a conflict with the senior whom she admired, and she was powerless to do anything about it.

Pursing her lips, Talina walked forward and looked at Ifrit lying on the hospital bed with lifeless eyes. In the end, she couldn't help but remind Hemer.

"Something seems to be wrong this time. This is more like an experiment than a treatment."

Using a more euphemistic approach, Talina gave a subtle reminder.

There's no other way. They are master and disciple, and they have a great favor to each other. It's impossible for me to make He Mo believe me with just empty words.

If I had brought a recorder with me at that time, even if I couldn't kill the old man, at least I could have made him so sick that he couldn't eat for three days.

But the matter is over, and there is no use regretting it now. It is not easy to catch this old man's handle again. Otherwise, it would be much easier to convince Hemer.

"I know, but if I don't do this, Ifrit will be bedridden for the rest of her life, and she will suffer pain for the rest of her life..."

If that's the case, it would be better to just die.

Although Hemer didn't finish his words, Talina had already guessed what he meant.

Because Homer's cognition is different from hers, and they both look at things from different perspectives, so there are definitely differences.

Hemer herself is an infected person, so she knows the pain and suffering of the disease very well, so as long as there is hope of a cure, she will do her best.

Even if the process is painful, you have to keep going.

This is not only for Ifrit, but also for herself.

"What if I said Ifrit would die?"

Continuing to persuade, Tarina still did not give up.

Perhaps it was because of their childhood acquaintance that made her want to help, or perhaps it was because of her disgust for Parvis that made Talina want to interfere. In any case, she didn't want to see Ifrit suffer anymore.

In addition, she saw the shadow of an old friend in Hemer.

Percy.

If it weren't for her, would I be like Ifrit now, staying in some dark laboratory, "selflessly" dedicating myself to the progress of mankind?

Her experiences were very similar to Ifrit's, yet completely different.

The two were born in the same place, but now one is a noble lady from Casimir, and the other is a lucky person who escaped from a dark laboratory.

"No, with Saria here, no..."

Hearing Talina's guess, Hemer's face darkened and he placed his hopes on Saria.

In her eyes, Saria is an omnipotent being. As long as she is there, nothing is a problem.

Ugh...

Shaking her head silently, Talina no longer knew what reason she could use to persuade this person who was in a dilemma.

Hemer, who had just graduated from school, still had a trace of kindness and confusion in his heart. This was something that could only be solved with the tempering of time, and it could not be explained away.

"Then I'll go see Ifrit first. You should rest well and I'll take care of her."

"Then trouble you."

After thanking Talina, Hemer walked to the side tiredly and sat with Joyce.

During this period, it was not only Saria who was tired. Hummer was just as tired both physically and mentally.

"Ifrit, right?"

Arriving at the bedside, Talina took over Hummer's position and chatted with Ifrit.

Ifrit had not yet recovered from what had just happened and was still dazed. Facing Talina's questions, he just responded blankly.

In response, Talina grabbed a few candies from her pocket and placed them in front of Ifrit.

"This is the agreement we made before. Have you forgotten it?"

It is difficult for people to resist such a bright smiling face, and Ifrit is no exception.

"This is a reward, right?"

Grabbing a candy, Ifrit didn't rush to peel it open, but asked Talina.

“No, this is sharing, between friends…”

"share."

Volume 4: Chapter 102: Proposal

Friends...?

The candy in the palm of her hand was slightly warm, not very stimulating, but it made Ifrit feel extremely hot.

Apart from Saria and Hummer, Talina was the first person who dared to come to her on her own initiative, especially after she lost control.

"Don't you like it?"

Ifrit's infatuated staring at the candy misled Talina, who thought Ifrit didn't like this kind of thing.

Yes, they are different from me, and they cannot be appeased with just a few pieces of candy.

Talina asked herself and answered her own questions and began to rummage through her bag, trying to find some interesting little toys.

But she searched for a long time and found nothing except some documents. Even the candies she gave to Ifrit were obtained from Muirses.

"No, I like it very much."

Shaking his head, Ifrit peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed the candy inside into his mouth.

The sweetness emanates from the candy, transmitting the happy feeling to the brain through the taste buds on the tongue, and then spreads throughout the body.

The candy was delicious, enough to suppress the little dissatisfaction in Ifrit's heart.

Hemer always controlled her sweet intake for her own good, saying that eating too much would cause tooth decay, but wasn't she eating it now?

No teeth are damaged!

"Like it?"

Of course, Ifrit's eating movements did not escape Talina's eyes. Seeing that he was enjoying the meal, she was also happy.

"I like it. It would be even better if it was strawberry flavored."

Tasting the candy, Ifrit chewed it into pieces, swallowed it, and then took the second one from Talina's hand.

She was suppressed by Hemer before, so her daily sugar intake was severely restricted. Now it is a rare opportunity for her "good friend" Talina to give her candy. She would not be willing to eat it all at once.

Out of revenge, Ifrit swept away all the candies in Talina's hands in one breath.

After eating, Ifrit looked at Talina eagerly, hoping that she would produce another candy from somewhere.

With a wry smile, Talina handed the candy in her hand over and used a handkerchief to wipe the candy stains on Ifrit's mouth.

"This is the last one."

Ifrit's greed was far beyond Talina's expectations, but she didn't hate him.

After all, what's wrong with a child who has never tasted much sweetness since childhood eating a little more sugar?

If even this little wish can't be fulfilled, then Ifrit is truly pathetic.

"The last one?"

After taking the so-called last candy, Ifrit did not put it into his mouth immediately, but put it under his pillow and hid it.

She had eaten enough, and now her mouth was filled with a lingering sweetness, which had already exceeded the daily amount prescribed by Hemer.

So, she planned to save this candy for Saria!

Saria is so busy every day and must be very tired. If she could have a piece of candy to soothe her mood, maybe she would be happier, right?

"Why don't you eat?"

Ifrit's behavior of hiding candies left Talina puzzled. Ifrit, who had just accepted everything, suddenly started hoarding candies.

Can’t you eat anymore?

"Save it for Saria. She needs this more than I do."

After stating his reasons, Ifrit quietly leaned back on the bed, staring into Talina's eyes.

Talina nodded with a wry smile and stopped worrying about this issue.

It was none of her business who Ifrit fed the food to. She just wanted to get some information from Ifrit.

"Since you've eaten my food, you have to promise me something in return. How about that?"

Raising her right hand, Talina raised her index finger and waved it in front of Ifrit.

When Ifrit saw Talina's expression suddenly change, he had some doubts in his heart, but they were soon dispelled by Talina.

"Can you tell me more about this hairpin? Like the person you exchanged it with, and some other things?"

Talina asked all her questions at once, not caring whether there was anyone around, and asked Ifrit directly.

What she did was not something shameful. Ferdinand, Muersa, and even Saria knew what her purpose was in coming to Rhine Life.

In addition, Talina's appearance was so deceptive that no one would be on guard against such a child.

Except for the old goat.

There's no telling what he'll do now that he's confessed to Tarina.

"You mean the kitten?"

Ifrit, not knowing that Tarina had so much in her mind, put her finger on her chin and began to recall.

Narcissa's features were easy to identify. Like Talina, her white hair was a very obvious feature no matter where she was. In addition, she had talked to her before, so Ifrit remembered quite a lot of things.

"Yes, that's her!"

Hearing that Ifrit had an impression, Talina was so happy that she asked immediately.

"Did she have any connection with you at that time? And how did your hairpin end up in her hands?"

"Well, now that you mention it, I think I remember it. She traded a watch with me. That watch glowed and played music. It was quite novel."

Scratching his head, Ifrit recounted the details of his memories.

At that time, Narcissa's watch made her happy for a long time, but later it stopped singing due to battery problems, so it was left unused by Ifrit. Later, it was confiscated during the transfer process, and now no one knows where it is lying.

Ifrit was upset about this for a long time. She had just found the battery, but it fell out before she could replace it.

"Anything else? Are there any others?"

Excited by her friend's news, Talina continued Ifrit's question: "Did she tell you anything else?"

"Now that you mention it, there is something very important?"

As if she remembered something, Ifrit's mouth curled up, and a mischievous expression appeared on her face.

But now Talina was so focused on Narcissa that she didn't notice Ifrit's changes at all.

"At that time, I asked her why she traded it with me. After all, it was just a hairpin, not worth much. It was just that the glass on it looked a little nicer."

"Hmm! And then?"

"Then she said something to me, and I switched with her. Want to guess what it was?"

Deliberately keeping the secret, Ifrit observed Talina's reaction, and at the same time looked forward to what kind of contrast Talina would show later.

After all, Narcissa's words at that time shocked her greatly. After all, not everyone is so bold.

"What? What?! Tell me now! Otherwise I won't bring you any candy next time!"

Seeing that Ifrit was keeping her in suspense, Talina directly grasped his lifeline and threatened him with candy.

Threats were very effective. Worried that she would not be able to eat the candy, Ifrit simply told Narcissa what she had said to her at that time.

"She said she was using it to propose, but who was she proposing to..."

After taking a thoughtful look at the hairpin on Talina's head, Ifrit lay down on the bed in a rather single manner.

"I don't know either."

Eh?

What does it mean to propose?
