Chapter 4 Michelle
"Ah! John, you are back!"
The blond girl named Michelle screamed in surprise, and then she floated into John's arms like a cannonball, "How is today's ceremony? Are there many people here? Bring me some
What’s there to eat?”
John ignored Michelle's two previous questions and opened the cloth bag with a smile.
"Wow! It's white bread! And there's orange marmalade! It's really good!"
Michelle said excitedly, and as soon as her hands made grabbing movements, the bread and jam in the cloth bag automatically flew into her hands.
John didn't care about this supernatural scene, and took out the oil paper bag again. When he opened it, he found that there was a large piece of butter inside, and he couldn't help but laugh even happier.
Mr. Oliver is really considerate.
Knowing that the two of them couldn't eat anything good on weekdays and lacked oil and water in their stomachs, they just gave them a large piece of butter.
He took out a slice of bread and scraped it hard on the butter. John, like Michelle, devoured it.
However, unlike Michelle who buried her head in eating fiercely, John always stared at Michelle's side face while eating, chewing while looking at it, as if he was feeding Michelle.
And in fact, it is indeed the case.
Graer's brother's accusations against Michel were actually not wrong.
Michelle is indeed a witch who has mastered supernatural powers in the true sense.
However, this power is not so stable. This power will only be revealed when Michelle is completely relaxed, or is highly concentrated, and is extremely eager to achieve something.
In Michelle's own words, this power is like a naughty goblin who will play pranks on you from time to time and mess up many things, but when you sincerely make a wish to them, they will fulfill your wish.
desire.
When John first traveled through time, it was only because of the supernatural level of treatment that Michelle gave him that he survived.
Since then, John has been surprised to find that he himself seems to have a supernatural ability.
That is to absorb the magic power emanating from Michelle.
This ability of his operates passively.
As long as he is near Michelle, he can absorb Michelle's magic that smells like a 'sun-baked quilt'.
Under normal conditions, this absorption efficiency is very low, almost to the point of being undetectable.
But when Michelle actively releases her ability, or when John eats, this efficiency will be amplified hundreds or thousands of times.
Of course, even this efficiency is far from reaching the point of 'complete devouring'.
Fortunately, the magic absorbed by John completely obeyed John's own orders and was far more stable than Michelle. It was as if it had been purified and washed away its self-awareness.
This way of absorption is more like eating sugar cane.
Although there is no way to swallow the sugar cane whole, you can rely on chewing it to squeeze out the most essential sweet water.
It is precisely for this reason that John gave this ability a very vivid name - 'chewing'!
Regrettably, John himself does not have the ability to produce energy in a real sense and to store energy for a long time without loss like the blue bars in many games.
Therefore, the energy it absorbs will naturally evaporate if it is not used for a long time.
This is somewhat similar to a battery drain, but much faster.
But even so, John is already very satisfied.
After all, the threat to him from the outside world has almost reached its limit, and he really has no right to complain.
Michelle eats very quickly.
In just a few minutes, her stomach was full, and then she hugged her knees, drooling and looked at John with her big amber eyes - she was not hungry, but simply greedy.
To be fair, Michelle is a beauty.
Like the nun, she has long golden hair and a delicate face.
The only difference between the two is that the nun gives people a sense of holiness, while Michelle is more cute because of her age.
Being stared at by such a cute loli, even John, who is very shameless, can't stand it.
He continued to chew on the buttered bread while looking for a topic and said:
"By the way, today Graal went to the nun and Mr. Oliver to file a complaint against me. It seems that he has not given up the idea of retaliating against us."
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Michelle's face disappeared, her face became a little pale, she lowered her head and said in despair:
"Gral deserves to hate me. I almost killed his brother. It's all my fault. If only I could have controlled myself more."
John didn't say anything like, 'It's not your fault, it's all the Graer brothers who brought it upon themselves' to comfort Michelle. He knew very well that with Michelle's kind character, these so-called comforts were of no use at all.
He simply continued:
"By the way, the nun seems to have mentioned today that she has finished the mediation for you, and even gave Greer some compensation. What's going on?"
At the mention of nuns, Michelle's eyes lit up and she said:
"The nun arrived immediately after the incident. She first rescued Greer, and then comforted us separately. As for mediation... I'm not very clear about this. I haven't seen Greer since then.
Okay. I just heard that the nun seemed to have contacted the Mysterians to find him a job with a high weekly salary. This should be the compensation you mentioned, right?"
John was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
The conflict between Michelle and Greer happened before John traveled through time.
So John actually didn't know the details of the incident.
And now, listening to Michelle's description, Naglier's fate...
John was silent for a while and said with a strange expression:
"Poor Greer!"
"Yes, Greer is so pitiful!" Michelle also sighed, "I heard from the nun that the damage I caused to him was particularly serious, and it might leave him with sequelae."
John looked at Michelle speechlessly.
He really couldn't handle this.
You must know that he had already told Michelle the truth about the mysterious guest, but it turned out that she didn't believe it at all.
But this is normal. Michelle always thinks the best of people.
Sighing, John stretched out his hand, and a sunflower planted in a pot in the corner immediately flew into his hand.
"Ah! Do you want to start playing the game?"
Michelle said in surprise when she saw this.
"Of course, that's why I came here."
As John spoke, he first placed the sunflower pot in a sunny place, and then pulled open an empty wooden box next to it.
A deep tunnel immediately appeared in front of the two of them.
John did not sit still and wait for death these past few months.
He had already started investigating the environment of the entire Galenna Orphanage early and set up an escape plan.
The current tunnel is the most important part of his plan, and it is also the final result of he and Michelle's hard work over the past few months.
According to the progress, the tunnel will be opened in at most two days, and then he will be able to take Michelle to completely escape from this dangerous St. Brelade!
