Demi-human Girls Completion Manual-Chapter 1032 - 69: Tears (3)

"What happened?"

"Mr. Fischer, I... I just... I... she..."

No matter how Tangze Asuka tried, her words remained unclear, while Hooked kiss beside Fischer saw the situation at a glance and seemed to know what happened without asking. He looked at the demi-human kneeling in front of them and hesitated for a moment before explaining to Fischer with a smile,

"This is the place for hosting visiting elves, called Guest Wood. There are many people serving here, and basically, none of them are slaves; their treatments vary greatly, and this one is probably responsible for daily cleaning, the ’Rat Woman,’ who is among those with the lowest treatment. But regardless, it is forbidden to bring family here. This child must be here secretly for her to raise, perhaps due to some change at her home... It’s okay, don’t panic, take the fruit, and we won’t tell anyone."

"Really... really?"

The Rat Woman holding a child seemed somewhat incredulous, but after seeing Hooked kiss’s determined gaze, she slowly took back the fruit she was gripping in her hand.

Because her child indeed needed this fruit.

"Many thanks... many thanks to all the adults... thank you..."

Nevertheless, she kowtowed several times to express her gratitude to the people before her.

Hooked kiss forced a smile and quietly avoided the gesture.

Because he knew well from past experience that, in reality, when he returned to Bai Hou’s residence after treating the Elf King, he saw this Rat Woman was discovered and executed by other officials for stealing to feed her child.

But at least in this haunting image of the past, she survived because of Tangze Asuka’s discovery.

Hooked kiss shook his head and said,

"It’s alright, just tell Bai Hou afterward that I ate it; the others won’t pursue it further. Hurry and leave; Bai Hou will be back soon, and it will be hard to explain then. Remember, be careful when you eat it, don’t let your colleagues find out."

"Yes... yes, sir."

After bowing several times, she quickly left the palace with her child and fruit in arms, soon disappearing.

Perhaps, except for Hooked kiss, who knew the real outcome of the Rat Woman and her child, the events that had just transpired seemed like a tiny episode that nobody paid attention to?

Hooked kiss sighed, preparing to find a place to rest, waiting for Bai Hou to return. Then tomorrow, she would lead them into Jianmu Palace to uncover the truth about the Transferee and the insider among elves who had colluded to steal the World Tree Tear...

Fischer originally wanted to sit down and rest, but as he was leaving, he noticed Tangze Asuka still standing in place, not moving at all.

"Tangze?"

He called out to her in some confusion, then walked towards her.

As he approached, he suddenly realized that the young girl’s shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably.

Upon hearing Fischer’s call, Tangze Asuka slowly turned her head. Upon closer inspection, her delicate face had unbeknownst turned red, covered with teardrops as large as Pearl, making her entire face appear fragile yet lovely. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Fischer... teacher... sob sob sob..."

Her rain-dappled appearance became even more unrestrained upon seeing Fischer, as if Fischer’s call opened the floodgates controlling her tears, and once opened, they couldn’t be stopped.

She raised her head, the teardrops multiplying, suddenly leaving Fischer standing frozen in place.

In this slight pause, Tangze Asuka couldn’t help but cover her face with her hands, resting her head against Fischer’s chest, crying even more forcefully.

"Sob sob sob..."

Fischer was dumbfounded, instinctively patting Tangze Asuka’s back. Mikhail, still standing there, pursed his lips in puzzlement, while Hooked kiss, who had just sat down, looked at Fischer with speechlessness, seeming to start questioning Fischer’s sincerity as a Magic Teacher.

"..."

Fischer, leaned on by Tangze Asuka, obviously couldn’t argue his position, but could only helplessly pat Tangze Asuka’s soft body to show comfort.
