Disciple of Immortal
Lesson 22: Daishang Gong and the Girl (side: Philia)
"Phyllis, Phyllis, you've been brought by scary people I don't know... and now I'm going back to where Pomera is."
"Oh, yeah, yeah. You've come so far so often, you must have been scared."
As usual, Greed spoke with a creepy cat stroke.
Gain watched the two interact anxiously.
Gaine had been a close friend of Greedo for a long time, but it was the first time he had ever seen him in such an ugly state.
What on earth is making him do this?
There was always no grip, and there was still a stubbornness, and yet it seemed as if he was constantly seeing the world and the human heart. Gilead from Gaine was such a wise, bottomless person.
It was obviously strange that he had such an attitude towards a stranger.
"Oh, my name is Filia-chan. Hmm, hmm." I don't know? You could get attacked by villains again, and it's not safe here. Otherwise, it's not a good idea for a pretty girl like you to go out on her own. Besides, you're tired of being scared, aren't you? Lady, you should stop by my museum for a break. I'd like to hear your daughter's story about what happened. There are lots of delicious sweets in my museum as well. "
"But, it's not good to follow strangers..." It's dangerous... and it could be very annoying... It was a bad thing just now... "
"Fufu, you're a smart boy." My name is Greed. There's no one in this city who doesn't know me. Do you remember as much as I heard your name? Oh, I'm not a stranger. "
"Um, no... and that's not what I don't know..." Besides, I'm worried about Pomera..... "
When Greed heard that, he quickly looked back at Gaine.
"Gayne, go to the magician's shop now. Philia is visiting the Greed Mansion, so tell her it's late at night." I'm not lying, I promised this girl. "
“Yeah, yeah, yeah!? Why?!”
Gain shouted out loud.
"Damn it! What brings you here in the first place!" I have no idea what Greedo wants! Wasn't it just a precautionary gathering of information before the plan?! I went out of my way to do it directly because it was important... why did you abruptly cancel it?! First of all, I can't throw you and your friend into the dark zone alone without escorting you! "
"Are you not listening to me, Mr. Gain?" You don't think, you just follow me. Because you don't doubt my words at all, this is how you've been used. That's what you always say. "
The grid wrinkles its forehead and leaks uncomfortably.
"Ugh... ugh... but... this is all..."
"Hah... I see things differently than you do, Gine-kun." Don't say a word about my judgment. Okay? I'm not asking for any advice or worries from a mortal like you. "
"Haha... yes. I'm sorry... I'll tell you right away."
Though Gaine looked uneasy, he quickly rushed to Greedo's words.
"Come on, there's no problem here, lass."
"But..."
I sent you to the wrong place, but you're still not satisfied with it?
"That's...... that......"
"Oops, I'm sorry for the intimidating way you said it." But my uncle is a great uncle in this city. This city is a little complicated, your shop... It's very difficult to do well with this polo rock, but if your uncle talks a little, you won't have to worry about anything. Then the girl named Pomera will be very happy. I don't know, just hanging out with my uncle for a little while. Uncle, I'm lonely, so I just want you to play. I won't lie to you. Or do you really hate your uncle? "
Aren't you going to do something terrible to Kanata and the others?
Philia spoke in horror, staring into Greedo's eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, of course." I won't do that. Whoever it is...... if you're my girlfriend, I promise I won't touch you unless you try to harm me. "
"... do you have any delicious sweets?"
"There's a lot! My uncle doesn't eat sweets, but he has a lot of things for guests and things to get." Besides, no matter how popular and difficult it is to get, if you give me my name, I will bring it directly. When you leave, take plenty of souvenirs with you. "
"Well then, just a little..."
Yeah, yeah, that's fine.
Greed replied happily to Philia with a faint, full smile.
"Come on, follow me. I'll just walk a little, so if your legs get tired, you can say so. Uncle will carry it for you."
