That night, Emily came to my house for dinner, and the first thing she asked me when she walked in was, "I heard you have a concert today?" ”

I raised an eyebrow: "You know that too?" ”

"Of course I do," said Emily, "there is a lot of talk in the palace about it now, but most of the voices are complimenting the two girls on their good singing." ”

Remy and Lizzie are very happy when they hear Emily praise themselves.

However, I thought Emily had something to say, but it was not good to ask in person, so I decided to wait until I sent her home.

Dinner went on very pleasantly.

After a break for dinner, I sent Emily home.

On the way, I asked Emily, "Did you have anything to say before?" ”

Emily said lightly, "You noticed?" ”

I nodded: "I noticed it, say it, I'll listen." ”

Emily said, "It's mainly about the background of those two little girls. ”

"You're saying that someone wants to make a fuss about the two of them's goblin identities?"

"It's not as simple as you think," Emily said, "There are higher-ups who believe that goblins are always a threat to the status of elves and should be eliminated. ”

"Heh, isn't that a bit too extreme?"

"It's very extreme," Emily said, "Most of the people who say this kind of thing are racial extremists, believing that elves are above all else, the most noble race in the Zephyr Continent. ”

"What do you think about their racial superiority?"

"Of course, I think the elves are just like the other races, they are part of the Zephyr Continent," Emily paused, adding, "It's no different. ”

"There are still differences," I said, "but it is precisely because of the collection of different races that the Zephyr Continent has become so colorful. ”

"You're talking to me about philosophy?" Emily said lightly, "I'm not proficient in that kind of thing. ”

"No," I shook my head, "I'm just chatting with you." ”

After walking for a while, I asked her, "How are you investigating the case of the stolen blueprint?" ”

Emily looked at the sky, "There hasn't been any substantial progress, and...... I'm tired of it too. ”

"Tired of it?!" I was amazed, "It's not easy to hear the word 'tired' from your mouth!" ”

Emily looked at me suspiciously, "You know me well?" ”

"Uh......" I shook my head.

"Then why does it feel so difficult?"

I scratched the back of my head and said embarrassedly, "I just think ...... I guess you're the type of person who once you decide to do it, you're going to stick to it. ”

Emily muttered a little and said, "You are not mistaken, I am indeed such a person. ”

"Then you just said ......"

"Yes, I'm really tired of talking" Emily said: "I didn't agree to take over this case from the beginning, it was just a task imposed on me by the high-level, from beginning to end, I had only one purpose, that is, to meddle in it, as for whether or not the case can be solved, when to solve the case, this is a matter for the investigators sent by the high-level, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

"Uh...... You see the matter of principle so thoroughly......"

Emily said lightly, "Yes." ”

A girl with a very strong sense of principle must also be a very strong girl, because she clearly understands from the bottom of her bones what she should do, what she should not do, what she should do, she will definitely do it, what should not be done, even if she threatens with her life, she will not compromise.

To be honest, I like Emily very much for a girl with a strong personality, because she has a strong personality of her own like my fiancées, but the difference is that my fiancées have one thing in common, that is, they are willing to show compromise when they are with me, and it seems impossible to ask Emily to compromise as well.

For this reason, I had to hide my love for Emily and only treat her as an elf friend of mine, which may be a good choice, although it is a small regret.

I hate hypocrisy and indecisiveness, because these two personalities make me weaker, both in strength and in heart.

But in Emily's case, these two questions followed me like shadows, and I refused to leave for a moment.

I was distressed and troubled at the same time.

Emily glanced at me and said lightly, "Are you troubled again?" ”

"Your eyes are always so keen when you look at me," I smiled wryly, "I do have some troubles, but they are only minor ones." ”

"Troubles are big or small," Emily said, "This is what my former teacher taught me, when you encounter a problem, you either solve it yourself or say it, and everyone solves it together, but it will not come to fruition if you keep it in your heart." ”

"Uh-huh, maybe you're right," I said, spreading my hands, "but my personality dictates that I'll just keep it alone until I find a solution." ”

"You're going to be miserable," said Emily, "and maybe one day you'll go completely crazy because of too much trouble." ”

"Utter madness?" I frowned, "I haven't heard of this, where did you know that?" ”

"That's how my teacher went crazy," Emily said, "and died not long after he went crazy." ”

Listening to her words, I couldn't cry or laugh: "Why do you want to tell the ending?" ”

"Tell me the ending, and you may feel the threat of your troubles more deeply."

"Okay......" I laughed dryly and asked, "So, in what state did your teacher die, can you tell me?" ”

Emily thought for a moment, "Yes, he was hacked to death by the monster while challenging the monster in the dungeon. ”

I directly collapsed: "Does this have anything to do with troubles?" ”

Emily blinked, "Of course it matters, if it weren't for the troubles, he might have dodged that trick." ”

"What about after you dodge? Can he hack that monster to death? ”

Emily shook her head: "He can't die, but he can delay his death for a few seconds." ”

"Isn't that the result still the same, and you'll die!" I can't understand the girl in front of me anymore, the reason why she is strong is because of her persistence and stubbornness, but is the origin of her persistence and stubbornness because of her natural personality?

I was stunned by this.

Emily looked at me suspiciously, and then stretched out her hand and shook it in front of my eyes: "Xiao Yi? What happened to you? Is there something offensive about what I just said? ”

"No, no, not at all," the corners of my mouth twitched, and he said, "Let's put your teacher's questions aside and talk about something else." ”

"What are you talking about?" Emily asked.

"Let's talk about what you'd like to eat tomorrow."

Emily said seriously: "What you eat tomorrow will be considered tomorrow." ”

Dry, I even forgot again that her principles and natural stay.
