More than ten minutes passed, and the girl's mood finally stabilized.
Through conversations with the little guy, Ronald also learned the other party's name - Fette Rommel, and Phil is the name of his parents' love for him.
The Phil family was an Entrode who lived in the Falls since their ancestors.
The family composition is also relatively simple. The mother is a small business that has been passed down from generation to generation in the family business, and the father is a consulting detective. So in Entroud, Little Phil's childhood is definitely considered to be a prosperous life.
But now, everything is completely different.
Time passed shortly before, when the war had just begun, Little Phil witnessed the death of his relatives with his own eyes.
That three-story building is Phil's home.
When the war began, her father went out to work, while her mother and Phil stayed at home. In this sudden disaster, Phil lost her life to protect her.
In fact, if Ronald hadn't discovered it and took action in time.
This little guy who was originally hiding in the cracks in the corner of the stairs would probably lose his life in the collapsed building.
Isolated and helpless, suddenly encounter a big disaster, and the future is worrying...
After taking the little girl to the other end of the Falls, such words appeared in Ronald's mind.
At this time, he turned his head and looked at Phil who was following him.
——The little girl is very sensible.
After her emotions stabilized, Phil did not continue begging Ronald to hold her, but went downstairs to follow Ronald. Although her eyes were full of pain and hatred, she did not make any trouble, or
Begging Ronald to help her revenge and other things.
This is a thirteen-year-old child...
Thinking of this, Ronald's emotions became more complicated, and the expression on his face was inevitably changed.
But this scene happened to be seen by Phil, who was following him.
"!"
The little girl jumped back like a frightened deer, then caught up with Ronald, and timidly stretched out her left hand and pinched Ronald's corner of her clothes to the minimum.
"Mr. Ronald, what are you going to deal with me?"
"No! Phil, it's not a deal!" Ronald immediately denied Phil's words.
Then he wanted to explain and comfort the other person.
But I realized that the little girl had just witnessed the death of her relatives.
It would be a bit too stupid to comfort the other person by using stupid words like "Your dad is fine, he will come back soon."
“…”
Ronald looked at the little girl following him in silence.
This child suffered such a malicious reality that he could never continue to use lies to hurt the other party.
So Ronald finally chose to believe in this reassuring child.
Then he squatted down, looked flat with Phil, and then explained to the little guy in an equal and serious tone:
"Phil, a war is taking place in the Falls."
"In the war, human property, life, soul, and even everything are things that may be destroyed at any time. I don't want you to suffer from these things again, so I want to take you to a safe place."
“…”
After Ronald explained, Phil Jr. still did not let go of the hand that grabbed Ronald's corner.
The child thought hard for a few seconds before finally speaking with complicated eyes:
"Father, my father once told me about the war."
"He said that Entrod, who was a child, was in the midst of war. It was the current government that ended the war and gave us a stable life."
"Since, since the war is over, why is it back now?"
Phil's words made Ronald suddenly realize the difference in reality.
Yes, here is Entrode.
A country that has been in war for a long time and was barely stabilized by the military government. However, this stability cannot be maintained for a long time under the guidance of extreme policies. Under the influence of multiple factors, this is why the scene in Waterfall City today is
disaster.
...
Ronald sighed in his heart about the indifference of reality
And in front of him, the little girl's eyes were moistened again because she thought of her encounter in the war.
--broken.
——I said the wrong thing.
——Although Phil acted reassuringly, he was just a child after all.
Seeing Little Phil's expression, Ronald immediately realized his mistake, so he took the initiative to reach out and hug the little girl in his arms, and immediately spoke to comfort him:
"Phil, this matter is very complicated to explain in detail. Now I can't explain it clearly to you."
"But I promise, we are looking for a place that will keep you safe now."
“…”
Ronald felt the child in his arms tremble suddenly.
At the same time, the perception of the spell also told him that Phil's emotions were going through a very twists and turns.
From confusion to tension, to sadness, and finally, trust and obedience are mixed in.
“…”
"Mr. Ronald, I get it."
Finally, Little Phil said this, then reached out and gently pushed Ronald in front of him.
Ronald let go of his arms, and the scene of Little Phil biting his lips came into his eyes.
This child is very afraid of his situation.
But after the previous disaster, Phil didn't want to add any more trouble to Ronald.
After all, in the eyes of this child, Ronald is also an ordinary person who is in a war crisis. If she asks for it at this moment, it would be a willful behavior that is difficult for people to do.
Ronald also felt Phil's thoughts.
So he nodded slightly to the child, and Ronald stood up:
"Okay, let's keep going."
"Um……"
Little Phil nodded too.
But this time I kept up with Ronald's footsteps.
Phil did not let go of his left hand, but still held the corner of Ronald's clothes in front of him.
...
In the Falls, the speed of war spreading far beyond imagination.
Because there are casters who can exercise various spells to participate, whether they advance, defend, or counterattack, the various battles that occur in the Falls at this moment are much faster than the pace of war in Ronald's impression.
In such an environment.
It is not uncommon to encounter some annoying or regretful things.
But Ronald made up his mind at this moment to send the little girl behind him to a safe environment, so he avoided all kinds of time as much as possible and did not interfere with anything. He just took Phil all the way to the church in the Falls City.
go.
The journey was not very smooth.
Ronald was fine if he sneaked up by himself, but after bringing a child without any strength, he sometimes had to choose a more troublesome solution.
It took nearly an hour like this.
Ronald finally took Phil across the war-torn city and came to the location where the church was in his impression.
So a complicated scene at the entrance of the church.
This was reflected in the eyes of Ronald and Phil beside him.
