"So I'm going to spend my life with these two disobedient metal shelves in the future?"
Ron, who was helped to the sofa and sat down temporarily, sighed bitterly. He reached out and knocked on the alchemical prosthesis of unknown alloy under his body. The crisp knock echoed leisurely in the restaurant.
"I said, you have to adapt to it, and then it will become 'obedient'... And then there will be a series of adjustments to be made, which will make it easier for you to adapt." Sarah said casually without raising her head while checking the prosthetic condition for him, "Of course, if you really care that it's a 'metal shelf'... Maybe I can help you fill the frame with something similar to flesh and blood at the end? It may make it look more like a pair of real legs."
Ron, who was crying, immediately raised his eyebrows and seemed to be in a much better mood.
"Really? That sounds good. Can I look forward to it?"
"Of course."
When Sarah said this, she suddenly clapped her hands, stood up, threw her head at Ron and said:
"OK, I'll help you adjust your knee more tightly. It may be slower to walk, but at least it won't be as difficult to control as just now... Stand up and try again!"
"Really? I'll try."
Before the words fell, Ron, who had just been badly hurt, stood up again and took a staggering step. The harsh "creak" proved that Sarah did tighten its joints a lot, which made Ron's first step very difficult, as if he were doing slow motion.
"Oh -"
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Ron, who was about to take the second step, lost his balance and fell stiffly to the floor again.
"It's worse than just now, isn't it?" not far away, Luna looked at this side excitedly, broke off a small piece of apple pie pie skin and stuffed it into her mouth from time to time, chewing sweetly, "... Little white night, do you want a bite? Hermione just made it by herself. It's sour and appetizing."
As she spoke, she broke off another piece, stretched out her hand directly to the side, and sent it into the mouth of the white night that just opened to speak.
"Ah... Well."
The white night, who was blocked by pie, was stunned and found that he seemed unable to speak. He simply stopped talking and seriously chewed the apple pie Luna gave him.
A moment later, she swallowed the pie and whispered with some regret:
"Sorry, in fact, i... can't taste it. You may not know that neither I nor my people have 'taste'."
"Well, I know," Luna waved casually, "In fact, before I came here, I had a friend of a corpse. Her name was' silly Bo '... She did tell me that she hardly ate or tasted food. But if I say, you don't have to taste them to enjoy food! Previously, the ghosts in school didn't even have sense of smell and touch, but they still like to hold dinner—— And you can at least pick up food and smell it, can't you? "
With that, she broke off a small piece and handed it to Bai Ye again, and said:
"Smell it! The rich apple smell and the smell of butter and cheese are very mellow. It's great... Oh, Ron, watch your head! Your right foot is about to reach your forehead -"
Seeing Luna's attention again attracted by the funny Ron, the white night didn't disturb her interest, but Yiyan put another small piece of apple pie in front of the tip of her nose and took a deep breath.
The living corpse does have a sense of smell, but it is still much weaker than ordinary humans. At this time, take a deep breath, and the smell only lingers faintly between the mouth and nose. It is certainly not "mellow".
However, as Luna said, since you can at least pick up the food and smell the smell, shouldn't you enjoy it? Just like your ability, even if it just lights up a dull light, it may also bring people an infinitely bright future.
"It really smells good," whispered the white night.
……
"Sorry, my friend, they are a little noisy."
When Ron and Sarah were trying out the alchemy prosthesis, and Luna rushed to the onlookers with the corpse, Hermione said slightly apologetically at the table.
However, looking at her expression, you can find that in fact, she herself enjoyed the chaotic scene in front of her.
"It doesn't matter," said the girl sitting next to her, shaking her head gently and looking at Ron staggering there with great interest. "Miss Granger, your friends are very interesting... I was thinking that this may be one of the reasons why the host will appreciate you so much?"
From the previous silence, we can know that Hermione and other humans don't really want to mention the "Lord of the living corpse" tonight. She is very smart and naturally won't be unaware of this, but she took the initiative to mention each other again at this time. Maybe there is some deep meaning here.
Of course, in fact, both sides know that the topic of "who" will inevitably be raised at this dinner tonight. Even if we don't mention it for a while, it's just a difference between early and late.
So... To be honest, although Hermione didn't know how to answer the topic, she shook her head relatively calmly after a pause and said:
"Maybe! It's just... I think the relationship between us and your master has always been just cooperation to eliminate the enemy. Well, at least for now."
"But you are very interested in my people?" the girl quickly replied, "you see, you even want to make friends with them."
"Well, what do you say?" Hermione pursed her lips. "In short, the whole thing is very complicated. It can't be explained by a simple 'interested or not interested'... Of course, at least I really like xiaobaiye. But it's about all the members of your family -"
The dinner hasn't officially started yet. The topic seems to be getting closer and closer to the core contradiction of this conversation. This is certainly not a good start.
Fortunately, at this very critical moment, another figure appeared at the door, accurately interrupting this constantly rigid conversation.
"Hermione, I heard you prepared a big dinner tonight... Oh, are there any guests?"
What appears at this moment is Delphi, who has been wandering in recent two days. She walked straight to the table from the door. After looking at the delicious food on the table, she glanced at the two "distinguished guests" who were still at the table. Her attitude seemed to be a little subtle.
