Chapter 327 [327] Winnie's visit
What he said was unclear, and he directly deceived Himeko.But now Carmen called her, so she followed Carmen to pack up.After the two little girls finished cleaning up the store, Himeko and Carmen sat down and took a rest.
As a result, it didn't take long for Mi Duo to call.
Mi Duo was very secretive on the phone, and even asked Himeko to come back to Rocky Town as soon as possible.After repeated questioning by Himeko, the facts of the matter were pieced together under Mi Duo's mysterious cover-up.Probably because the small town of Rocky has some secret protective function, so it can be said that it is much safer than Mercury now.
Even now the mayor has begun to take measures to allow everyone in the town to contact people from other towns as much as possible and return to the town.
Himeko's first reaction was to send Granny Sfia back.
But now it is very likely that there will be trouble along the way, so Himeko asked Wo Jin for help.Wo Jin readily agreed, not only because of Himeko's reasons.He still remembered that the Phantom Brigade was very interested in the ruins of the small town of Rocky, as well as the forest on the other side of the Yinyang River in the small town.
After sending Granny Sfiya and Wo Jin away, Nagisa also said that she needed to go back to beat the enemy Hakka so she also left.
At this time, Mercury University took a conciliatory leave of absence.All teachers and students can go back to their homes and rest assured that school will resume after all these things are over.
In this way, Himeko can just go back to the chocolate shop to help.
Probably because of the last turmoil, there are still fewer people who are willing to go out like before.As a result, the flow of customers in the chocolate shop has decreased.
After a wind chime rang, the person who came in was Himeko's long-lost friend—Winnie.
"Himeko, Himeko-chan." When Winnie called Himeko's name, she somewhat lacked confidence, "Long time no see."
In fact, she knew very well in her heart that her behavior of coming to care for Himeko after so long might not be very well received by the other party.
Himeko tilted her head and called out, "Winnie?"
Winnie stood in front of Himeko and nodded, saying, "Yes, I'm here."
Himeko blinked her eyes, took a while to realize that the person in front of her was really Winnie.
It's not that Winnie hasn't seen her for a long time, that Himeko really forgot her friend's appearance.But Winnie's current attire is very different from her previous one. If she was a cheerful girl in the past, her current attire seems to be serious and formal and can be on the news network every minute.
"Why are you dressed like this?" Himeko was more concerned about Winnie's changes than the little awkwardness in her heart.
After all, Winnie is not a girl who likes to change, so if the other party changes, there may be some reason.Even Winnie's change made Himeko think of someone, her good friend Mi Duo.After experiencing emotional setbacks, he became a completely different person.And Winnie...
Winnie and Himeko sat on the booth inside, which was a corner where few people would notice.
In just a few minutes, Himeko found that Winnie was really different from before.Whether it's walking posture, tone of voice, whole person's momentum, even just sitting in a seat, the whole person behaves smoothly as if there is a camera ready to broadcast in real time.
After sitting upright opposite Himeko, Winnie showed a polite smile.
"Ah, I'm sorry Himeko-chan." Winnie, who realized her behavior, quickly apologized to Himeko, "I've been crazy busy for a while, and even the occasions where I appear will be changed."
"Oh?" Himeko felt a little puzzled, "Isn't Mercury University temporarily closed, and there are still many administrative matters to be resolved?"
Winnie looked at Himeko fixedly, she felt that she could not hide her other identity.
After all, it is now a very critical time, and it is uncertain when she, as the heir of the Guardian Alliance, will need to attend in this capacity.Instead of letting Himeko see her at that time, it is better to put the real self in front of Himeko now.
"Himeko...I..." Winnie hesitated, but in the end she decided to die early, "I actually have another job that I haven't told you about."
After saying this, Winnie nervously grasped the hand on her lap.Even his head lowered accordingly, not daring to see Himeko's expression now.
Himeko was stunned by her friend's performance. What kind of operation is this?
"What kind of job is it?" Himeko tried to keep her tone as normal as possible.
But despite this, Winnie was still so nervous that she didn't even raise her head.
She lowered her head and replied: "I am the heir of the Mercury Guardian Alliance. If something happens to the sixth generation of the alliance, then I will directly inherit the alliance as the seventh generation."
Hearing this, Himeko's first reaction was——
"Is Six Daime your father?"
After all, in the small town of Rocky where Himeko lives, everyone knows who the next mayor and the next mayor are.It is the son of the current mayor, and the grandson of the current mayor.The lineage of the mayor can be said to be a single lineage, and the next one may be the daughter of the mayor's grandson.Although Himeko knows that it is impossible for a son to inherit his father's business in a larger administrative area outside, but in Himeko's concept, the Guardian Alliance seems to be a non-governmental organization.
Himeko Takemoto knew nothing about the power of the Guardian League.
After listening to Himeko's question, Winnie raised her head with a swipe.
She looked at each other in surprise, and said, "How is that possible, of course not. My father is just a member of the Guardian Alliance, and the successors are all selected from our same generation."
Hearing what Winnie said, Himeko stared blankly at the friend opposite.
This probability is probably the same as if you have stayed in a city for a long time.You are just an ordinary person, and you have a friend who is as ordinary as yourself.Or it is like a friend you thought was very ordinary, and then one day the other party tells you that she is the deputy mayor.Now it's not as simple as the mayor's son, after all, according to Winnie, it's a selection system.In other words, my friend suddenly became very good, and possessed a lot of power.It's a sudden turn and I can't turn around.
Seeing Himeko staring blankly at her, Winnie showed obvious disappointment on her face.
"Hey, I knew you couldn't accept that I concealed your behavior before." She smiled awkwardly and politely at Himeko, "That's right, if it was me, I wouldn't be fooled so easily .”
ha?What's the situation now?Did something happen that she didn't understand while she was in a daze?
Himeko, who had just finished being in a daze, looked at Winnie in a daze.
Although she doesn't know what's going on now, it's best to find a way to divert her friend's depression.At this moment, Himeko suddenly remembered the dense guardians in her chocolate shop that day.
"So on the day I was attacked by some kind of ants, did Winnie arrange the guardian in my shop?"
A thought flashed through Himeko's mind as she was trying to change the subject.If it was arranged by Winnie, the successor of the Guardian Alliance, then does it mean that the upper level is clear about the existence of that monster.But this kind of thought just passed by in a flash, and Himeko didn't catch the tail of this inspiration and continue thinking about it.
Seeing that Himeko had no intention of comforting herself at all, Winnie felt even more depressed.
She felt that Himeko might hate herself even more now.After all, if he arranges a guardian, then soon it means that he has been sending someone to monitor Himeko.
"Well, yes." Winnie nodded, "I arranged for those guardians."
She was already prepared for Himeko to reprimand her and break up with her.
But what she greeted was still Himeko's unreasonable play.
"Thank you very much." Himeko smiled at Winnie, "If it weren't for the people you arranged for Winnie, I'm afraid everyone in the store that day, including me, would have died. Jia~ like this Zi Winnie is also my half-savior."
When Winnie began to take the initiative to explain to Himeko, her status in Himeko's heart had actually been elevated to the category of friends.Therefore, for these behaviors of Winnie, Himeko will not have to imagine in the best direction independently.
"Ah?! Ah, Himeko, it's good that you don't get angry with me." Winnie felt that her nerves were not so tense.
So as for the fact that she not only arranged for the guardian to follow Himeko, but also arranged for the guardian to follow other people, let's not talk about it.Because of the importance of Rocky Town, it can be said that as long as people who come out of Rocky Town will arrange guardians to protect them.And this has always been a task performed by the upper echelons of the Guardian Alliance, and it is no exception when it comes to Winnie.
Although Winnie was particularly resistant to this matter when she first learned about it, she didn't really want to accept the task of protecting Himeko by her side.
But after the training and explanations, she fully understood the importance of Rocky Town, which completely changed her mind.Even those who can get in touch with the small town of Rocky feel eager to try.The friendship between her and Himeko, or her one-sided affection, started from this point.
