"Time flies so fast."

It was getting late, so I said goodbye to the director, and she escorted me to the entrance of the nursing home.

"There are still many things I haven't discussed with you."

"Save it for next time."

"Okay! Then I have to prepare carefully."

"I'm looking forward to it."

"Well, look forward to it!"

The dean's response was filled with the characteristic cheerfulness of a middle-aged man, and then he added as if he was remembering something:

"By the way, you can also accompany me to reminisce with the old people... Ah, forget it, I remember you don't like to recall the past."

"Oh~~you actually know."

"You once told me that I will never forget it."

"Your memory is also very good..."

I can't help but be surprised.

"Haha, because I have less things to remember."

"Awesome...but it's not that I don't want to remember it at all, it's just...well..."

I paused and said:

"If you compare memory to a book, I probably belong to the type of person who doesn't often read books, so my memory is inevitably covered with dust...and whenever a group of people gather together to reminisce, the dust will be collected

It's everywhere, so full of smoke and dust that even the reality right in front of you is blurred... I hate this feeling."

"After all, you have mysophobia."

"Isn't it?"

We looked at each other and smiled like old friends.

......

"It's so lively."

I stepped into a street and immediately felt a familiar lively atmosphere that was different from that of a sanatorium.

At dusk, people are doing their last business of the day.

Okay~~What should we do next?

I am leisurely thinking about the next arrangements.

First, have a pleasant dinner with Raya~~

Then...

"Hey, Keelung, have you started working?"

I noticed the acquaintance beside me and said hello to him.

"...It's Mr. Gu, good afternoon."

Keelung, who was concentrating on injecting magic into the lighting equipment on the roadside, stopped what he was doing and bowed to me, his pointed goatee tucked into his collar.

"When you finish, it will be 'good evening'."

"Haha..."

"Then I'll go back first, thank you for your hard work."

"Yes..."

I felt bored and waved my hand and left.

Strange... Keelung is always cheerful, but for some reason he is in such a low mood today.

He is the "Lamplighter" in the town, and is responsible for replenishing the magic lighting equipment with enough magic power to operate for a whole night before nightfall.

This profession sounds easy, but only people with a high basic magic value can take it.

The basic magic value is determined from birth and will never increase or decrease - this is the so-called talent.

As far as I know, Keelung's basic magic value is one of the best in the town. Unfortunately, the combat talent is too weak and is not suitable for joining the army.

...By the way, my basic magic value is zero, and all other magic talents are also zero.

No, I think of the ninety-nine nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine plug-ins I wasted again, well...

I scratched my hair in frustration.

"Ah, you are the guest that day!"

The sudden voice came from a girl.

"...me?"

I looked over subconsciously and my eyes met hers.

"Yes! Aren't you a guest that day?"

"...What day are the guests?"

Why don’t I remember seeing her?

"Guests in the restaurant."

The girl smiled slightly:

"You came here on the opening day of my father's restaurant, didn't you?"

"Well..."

Restaurant...opening...oh!

That free dinner, that bad-tempered store manager...

Speaking of which, the grumpy store manager said that he has a daughter...

"You are the daughter of a violent store manager, right?"

"Yes."

What a risk, I almost let it slip.

"It's a shame that you still remember me. It was obviously a long time ago."

I only went to the restaurant on the day when the order was free, and it has been more than a month now.

"Because since then, few people have come."

The girl confessed with a wry smile:

"Besides, I stayed in the corner of the restaurant that day and took note of every customer."

Corner... No wonder I have no impression of her appearance.

"What's the motive?"

"To be able to express my gratitude when we meet by chance one day in the future."

"Huh?"

I asked puzzledly:

"What is there to be thanked for? I didn't even pay."

"But not only did you and the other guests not care about my father's character, you also sent blessings to the restaurant."

Blessings...

"...You can see this."

She was talking about the bet.

"It's obvious!"

The girl changed her subject and showed a troubled expression:

"Besides, my father's personality is indeed a bit strange, but he is definitely a very good person, I promise!"

"I believe it."

I waved my hand.

"Besides... I believe you know that my father is running around for me."

"Hmm. It looks like you have to leave again?"

I glanced at the carriage next to the girl. The carriage was filled with packed luggage.

"Yes."

"What about restaurants?"
To be continued...
