Mercury Dream

Chapter 45: That elf-like existence...(2)

.

Yayi's message: Shaya, I failed this exam. Although my parents didn't blame me too much, I still felt very unwilling to accept it. For this exam, I didn't reply to Shaya's email to everyone for several days, but I got such a result... I was so discouraged.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Ah? I'm a navigator?

When Shayar heard the old lady in front of him, he said that he was not surprised and was absolutely lying. He was even stunned, but then he lowered his head and noticed that he was wearing the navigator uniform of the aria company.

―It's no wonder that the other party admits his mistake.

After thinking of this part, Saya smiled bitterly inwardly before he was about to raise his head and explain his identity.

He was just about to speak, but at some point the old lady opposite him suddenly walked over to him like this, still looking at Saya with a smile.

Are you practicing now? Phoenix Tail Boat.

Uh, this is...

I really miss it. I saw the navigators practicing the posture of the phoenix tail boat here.

When Shay, who had originally wanted to explain, was quickly shut up and seemed to look at the old lady in front of her with a surprised gaze. But not long after, this surprise quickly turned into a deep understanding, which made her make a quick judgment.

That, old lady...ah, sorry!

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's very kind to call it this way.

But……

If you care about it this way, otherwise you would call me - grandmother, so many people call me that.

What is the difference between this and the old lady? Although she thought so in her heart, Sayya did not say it. In addition to asking her something, she also inexplicably felt that the old lady's smile in front of her was quite familiar, and in addition to making people happy and relaxed... it seemed that there was a touch of warmth.

Very comfortable, very comfortable feeling.

For some reason, Sayya was completely unable to raise any precautions for her to see strangers. Instead, she was extremely docile and took off all the preparatory defenses.

For a moment, I forgot most of the words I had originally thought of.

But little sister, have you just learned how to hold the paddle for not long?

It was not until he noticed the sudden sound from the other party that Saya came to his senses, but he was still invulnerable to panic and almost let go of the oar in his hand.

After finally holding the oar tightly, Sayya breathed a little relieved, and then there was a way to answer the question of the old lady...that is, grandmother just now.

...Well, I haven't been studying for a long time. But... old grandma...ah, how did grandma know?

Ah, how did you know? Grandma smiled first, then took a few more steps, leaned over even more, then stretched out her left hand and pointed gently at Saya's gloves. The gloves were still very new, and the movements seemed to be very careful and a little stiff.

So that's the case... Are gloves and movements?

Yes, the navigator's gloves are to protect newcomers who are not used to using oars so that their hands can continue to grow without being hurt until the day they take them off.

…Protect your hands?

This is not the first time I heard this statement, but after hearing it now, some thought suddenly emerged in Saya's heart, and there was no way to stop it.

This set of clothes was given by Sister Alicia who taught herself to learn how to row. When she saw the gloves, she simply thought that it was just one of the accessories of the clothes and didn't think about it much. But now she thought about it, but now she came to another conclusion.

And it is a conclusion I have known for a long time.

.

――This is specially prepared for me, my sisters!――

.

Ah, what's wrong? Such a happy smile appeared on his little face.

Hey!!

Saya, who found himself distracted again, was even more panicked at this time, and it was as if in order to suppress his emotions, he quickly looked at his grandmother in front of him.

No, that... I want to ask my grandmother, are you very familiar with the aria company in the past?

Aria company in the past?

Yes! In the past! When I was first founded, I was always a little curious.

Curious... Grandma looked at Saya first, then turned to look at the aria company, and then nodded gently. Yes, I am indeed quite familiar with the ari company in the past. Even when the time when this house was first established, when it was first built, I still think it was something that happened yesterday.

Ah, then do you know that in the past, aria company...

I can tell you.

Saya, who originally wanted to continue speaking, was suddenly interrupted by this sentence, which surprised her to look at the shore opposite, smiling quite kindly.

But for some reason, that smile now gives Shay a different feeling. It can't be said to be so bad, but it still gives people a feeling of tension.

Can I ask my little sister to take me around nearby? I haven’t taken the phoenix tail boat for a long time.

But I haven't learned it yet...and it's just a pair of gloves...

It doesn't matter, we just walked around the neighborhood and just got to where you can go.

It seemed that she didn't intend to give Shaye a chance to refute, and her grandmother added another sentence with a smile.

Let’s talk about the topic just now on the boat, let’s continue to talk together.

My grandmother’s smile now is extremely fun!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Why did it become like this now?

I clearly just want to acquire the aria company, how could it become the situation where I am desperately rowing, and it is still a big dilemma!

Although the entire ship was moving forward, it could not go far. Until now, it could still clearly see the aria company not far behind him, and even the bow of the ship was shaken uncontrollably, making Saya dare not enter the nearby waterway. Even though it is quite spacious now, he does not have the courage.

Sayya, he did not forget the palm of his hand at that time when Sister Alicia last time.

What's more, now she is still carrying people, which makes her a little timid, afraid that the old lady sitting on her boat will be subjected to any unnecessary fright.

But I don’t know if I noticed Shay’s gaze, my grandmother smiled gently, then turned slightly and looked at Shay, who was standing at the stern of the boat, who was a little clumsy but very hardworking.

Very good, your posture.

When Sayya heard his grandmother's sudden comment, he obviously paused, but not long afterwards, a faint bitter smile appeared on his face and slowly replied: I am just imitating the movements of my predecessors, but that's all. I still can't learn the most important thing.

No problem, little sister, you are working very hard.

Do you work hard... I don't know what I think of, Sayya's smile changed slightly at this time, with a little bitterness, which was far more mature than before, but it was not suitable for children of this age. Sometimes, hard work will not bring corresponding results, and even if it goes too far, there will be some bitter results.

When she heard Saya's words, Saya's grandmother, who was originally sitting on the boat, opened her eyes slightly in surprise. She could hear that this was not a whine or just a reciprocating the words in the book, but had a deeper emotion, so that she could say such words full of sighs.

Only when you have experienced similar things can you say it.

But after carefully observing Saya's appearance, he remembered her expression not long ago, but he could not find out, or it could be said that he changed the two of them in an instant, and such an idea.

However, this idea seemed to have just passed by, although it caused a wave, but it did not bring up big waves.

If you want to say why, it is probably Sayya's smile.

-- That was a happy smile.

He smiled and gave Shayah another smile.

The results of hard work are indeed as the little sister said. Sometimes we cannot get what we want, and it may even be futile. But perhaps... we get more and more in the middle, but we have never discovered them. But when we look back one day, we may be able to discover many bits and pieces of the past, and those will become brand new treasures.

...Treasure? So the process of hard work is to bury the treasure box?

It can be said that... Grandma held an umbrella and turned her body over, looking at the vast and almost boundless sea facing the front. Moreover, I don’t think your efforts have not been achieved. In fact, it is very fruitful.

My achievements are very fruitful...?

When Shayar heard his grandmother's words, he was obviously stunned for a while. Although he had just said a lot of words, Shayar knew very well what he said about hard work and gains mean, but why didn't he think that the other party would know about this matter... Or should he say that no one should know about this matter on this planet!

Therefore, now she couldn't help but look at the back of her grandmother sitting on the boat with her confused gaze.

But my grandmother didn't turn her head to explain immediately, and still looked at the sea, holding an umbrella in her right hand and gently putting her left hand into the water.

Although it was very slow, the phoenix tail boat was indeed moving forward, and this also made grandmother's hand draw a shallow splash of water.

That's right, at least, now that I turned around, it has become another scene.

Grandma's voice was very light and light, but she had a gentleness that could not be hidden.

Then, she turned around again, and this time she smiled full of smiles - an extremely warm smile.

Although not many, this is also an improvement, a brand new change, a new beginning, and a major step for the little sister. Even if you keep standing still from time to time, this must be a warm-up fuck for the next move forward!

Sayya finally remembered why her grandmother's smile was so familiar, making her so used to it that she couldn't resist...

Therefore, enjoying every effort happily is definitely the most beautiful thing.

Her smile seemed to be -

——Sister in the lamp.
