Chapter 364

"... your friend?"

According to what Willie said, this seemingly beautiful beginning may not lead to a still beautiful ending. Although Willie always had a smile on her face, Marca couldn't make any comment on the girl in the story.

He is not such a rash person. At least, he still has his own Eq.

"Well," Willie nodded seriously, "if... I can smile... Maybe..."

Under Willie's intermittent narration, Marca gradually learned about the first short friendship in her life.

……

"Willie, this way! There are butterflies!"

"Oh."

In the backyard of brova fort, there was a flower bed with four seasons like spring.

This enchanted garden is always kept at a suitable temperature, which is full of all kinds of gorgeous flowers. It was once a place transformed by Mrs. brova herself.

Willie's mother is a witch who loves all kinds of plants. Drinking tea at noon every day is her favorite leisure activity.

After her death, Mr. brova renewed the spell in her place to keep them blooming.

Recently, the flower bed, which has been slightly deserted, has suddenly become lively.

EVA and Willie often run around among the flowers, chasing and playing with each other. When they are tired, they lie on their backs and rest under the flowers.

Although Willie is still expressionless, lovely baby doesn't seem to mind. She is still laughing and accompanying, and her relationship with Willie seems to be getting better and better.

Of course, in addition to the most frequently visited flower beds, there are many places for children to play in such a big brova castle.

In the following month, the little girls, who were completely different in appearance and heart, left happy footprints in all parts of the castle.

However, the opportunity for the collapse of this seemingly perfect friendship seems to have come too hastily. The young Willy didn't even have time to return to her mind, and everything came to an end.

It happened on the Bank of the lake behind brova castle.

It was a slightly gloomy afternoon. EVA and Willie came to the small dock by the lake. Originally, they had a good time. They were competing who would throw stones farther into the lake.

But suddenly, without warning, Willy slipped and plopped into the lake.

When she was at a loss, avarton panicked. She trembled and lay on the edge of the pier, shouting all the time. But after a few shouts, she seemed to think of something at last. She stood up and ran to the castle.

Finally, it was not EVA's servant who saved little Willy, but herself.

Perhaps it triggered the instinct of survival at the time of life and death. Like Maka, she was saved by the magic of her sudden outburst.

However, during the half day when little Willie was unconscious, EVA was severely scolded by her parents in front of Willie's father.

But even so, Willie's father, Mr. brova, still had a black face and didn't say a word.

The precious daughter that made him feel guilty and blamed himself was almost gone - this crisis that almost lost the meaning of life made Mr. brova's heart tremble.

Early the next morning, EVA's parents offered to leave, and Mr. brova nodded without saying a word. When they walked coldly in the square in front of brova fort, Willie, who had just woke up last night, ran out secretly.

"Sorry."

Facing EVA standing alone in front of her parents, Willie apologized.

She didn't know why she wanted to apologize - even from the maid, she was still confused. But she vaguely felt that in this case, all she could do was apologize.

EVA still closed her lips tightly and her eyes fell on the ground of the square.

In Willy's view, EVA's dark face was almost mixed with the same gloomy sky behind her. A kind of cold that Willie still couldn't understand diffused silently in the surrounding air.

"... I'm sorry," said Willie slowly. "Are we... Still friends...?"

"Friends?"

As if this word had broken the tight string in EVA's heart, she suddenly raised her head, and her eyes were filled with surging tears.

"You call us' friends'?"

"Yes?" said villimu.

"Have you ever smiled at me in this month?" EVA's crisp voice became a little blurred, but her voice became higher and higher. "I'm smiling! Only me! Have you really made friends with me? No matter what you do, you have this expression. I don't understand what you're thinking!"

"EVA!" cried her father, "don't you say that! Have you forgotten your etiquette class?"

Little Eva, who was earlier and more sensible than her peers, now bit her lips and broke away from the palm of her father's shoulder. She glared at Willie angrily and wrongly, conveying a silent complaint.

In fact, this so-called "friendship" is a stage play full of falsehood from the beginning.

Mr. brova, worried that his daughter was too lonely, asked his old friend to make friends with his two children; EVA's father, who was worried about her old friends, happily accepted it.

AVA offered to be nice to Willie, which was just his father's advice. Little Eva, who had always been obedient, soon became one with little Willy according to her father's wishes.

But who knows, this slightly clumsy stage play has a little star with good nature.

After only two days of "play", EVA also fell in love with the delicate and lovely little Willy. Although she couldn't understand Willie, who was not very talkative, she never gave up trying to understand.

But this repeated attempt is actually a kind of depression.

No matter how sensible EVA is, she is just a little girl who is not old enough to go to school. While constantly piling up smiles and trying to open Willie's "Mask", her cheerful enthusiasm gradually cooled down in repeated failures.

No matter what she did, Willie had no expression, and her eyes were so cold that she felt cold.

Therefore, when she was scolded by her father this time, she finally chose to give up.

"... yes, I'm sorry."

Suddenly questioned by EVA in a shrill voice, Willie was suddenly stunned. But she didn't know what to do, and the words in her heart were fragmented.

At ordinary times, she was not good at words. When she panicked, she seemed to forget how to speak. There was only one "sorry", repeated in her mouth, like a broken tape recorder.

"That's enough!" EVA screamed and interrupted Willie. "What's' sorry '... Look at your face! Is this a face apologizing?"

When Willie heard the speech, she gently touched her face, and a daze flashed in her eyes.

When she recovered, she found that EVA had gone far with her parents. Under the gray sky, only a few hazy figures remained in her memory.

……

"... later, I didn't want friends."

In the stone room, Marca listened to Willie's narration quietly, and finally nodded slightly.

"Misunderstand...?"

"Well," said Willie leisurely, "later, I made... Two wishes..."

"Make a wish?" Maka wondered.

"Yes, make a wish..." Willie smiled. "I want my father and help me find another mother... I want my father... To take me to Hogwarts."

"It's the one I saw in your house -" Marca suddenly said.

Willie nodded.

"Then I met Maka," she said, looking at Maka with flashing eyes. "You are the same as eva... You always talk to me and accompany me... All the time."

"Er..." Maka smiled. "At first, I just thought you were very special among Hogwarts's classmates."

"You are my friend..." Willie stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of Marca. "Second."

"Really?"

"Well," said Willie nodding, "so I... Always wanted to... Smile for you."

"Then you tried to make this potion?" Marca said in surprise. "How do you know that enigma crystal flower can resist the effect of the curse?"

"Flower seed..." Willie pointed to her chest, "make the curse quieter."

Because she didn't really analyze Willie's blood curse, Marca didn't know what the reason was. In this case, Willie's own feeling seems to be the only answer.

Although magic research can't be judged by "feeling", Maka recorded the answer in her heart for the time being.

"You are really..." he suddenly felt that it was not easy for him to live.

After a few more words, Maka suddenly remembered a very important thing.

"So... What about your seal?" he asked anxiously. "Can the curse be sealed back? Nothing will happen?"

Willie shook her head and pointed to the corner.

"Ask your father."

At Willy's sign, Marka asked about the remaining potions and went to fill Mr. brova himself. After a short wait, Maka cleared the remaining spell from him.

"Willie!"

As soon as he woke up, blova immediately turned over and looked for Willie in panic.

"My daughter -"

"Father."

As soon as brova saw his seemingly safe daughter, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground again. But he soon recovered himself and hurried to the bedside.

"My daughter - why did you force the seal off? This -"

"Mr. brova?"

Maka shouted in some doubt, but brova seemed not to hear Maka's words and was completely flustered.

"On the genealogy... No! Whether I can seal it again or not, I won't let you suffer any harm! I swear!"
