... live free!

170. To Yours

I realized I didn't have a handkerchief when I tried to give him a handkerchief to get him to wipe his dirty face with tears, feeling Lumia's determination. Then I took out a large piece of cloth because I thought it was going to be a replacement.

"In the meantime, wipe your tears with this. It may not be a very good one..."

That's what I said and gave the cloth to Lumia.... In the meantime, after this, I was thinking about buying a handkerchief at Rhona's store.

"Oh, thank you"

That's what Lumia was saying, taking it and wiping her face.

When Lumia finished wiping her face, I gave it to her. She seemed worried about what to do with the cloth.

"I'll give that to Lumia. I got it for free, so you can use it if you want."

"Huh? Are you sure?

"Yeah. It's no big deal, so you don't have to worry about it."

"... thanks"

Lumia said so, folding that cloth nicely.

"In the meantime, I'm going home, but if you have any problems or anything, I'm going to go on about consulting you, but what do you got?

"... I don't think so in particular"

"Fine, but if there's any trouble, tell me the next time we see each other, okay?

"Yes, sir"

"Well, I'll manage to get Youre here, so make up, good luck, okay?

"Yes."

I left the orphanage behind after hearing Lumia's reply like that.

After I left the orphanage, I was walking as fast as I could to Mr. Rhona's shop. And when I walked into the store, Laura called out as if she realized I was here.

"Lena, you're here, because we're both in Flora's room."

Apparently, he was listening to me from Flora and told me where Flora and the others were.

"Okay. But before I do, I'd like to buy a handkerchief. Where is it?

"This way, then."

That's what Rhona told me. She showed me where the handkerchief was. I looked at the handkerchief I had there and decided to buy about five items that I was curious about. When I gave that to Ms Rhona, she told me all about one silver coin and two copper coins, so I paid for it and thanked Mr Rhona. Then I headed to the room where Flora and the others were waiting.
