Chapter 103 Please Die
Tuesday, October 9th.
After completing his routine clergy duties, Chael said something to the priest beside him and then strolled along the streets of the North District.
The living conditions in the North District are relatively good, and the streets are bustling with people, full of vitality.
Chaer walked among the crowd, smiling as she strolled, appreciating everything around her.
Suddenly, he lowered his head.
A little girl selling flowers ran up to him and stuffed a bouquet of flowers into his hands.
Xia Er paused for a moment, then smiled and accepted the flowers.
Before he could even say hello, the little flower girl had already happily run off, waving back at him as she ran.
"Don't go!"
Xia Er called out to the little girl, amused.
The little girl buying flowers stopped and turned to look at him.
"Why are you running away? I haven't paid yet."
Xia Er walked over in a few steps and smiled.
"No need, consider it a gift from me."
The little girl smiled shyly, shook her head, and said...
Why did you give it to me?
"I can't believe it," Xia Er asked, puzzled.
"Because my sister said you have a beautiful smile, I like you."
The little flower seller tilted her head, blinked, and said.
But I'm not a good person.
Chael raised his arm and looked at the priestly robes he was wearing, thinking that the clothes were truly divine attire.
"Where's your sister?"
Xia Er looked at the flower in her hand and asked.
"It's that flower seller over there. She said you don't look like a bad person, and that you look especially pretty when you smile."
The little girl selling flowers pointed to a stall not far away and said.
Chael looked in the direction the little girl was pointing and saw a young and beautiful girl standing in front of the stall, smiling and nodding at him.
Chael nodded in agreement, then looked down at the little girl, who was tilting her head back, blinking her big, innocent eyes.
"Isn't she your biological sister?"
Xia Er suddenly felt flattered, as if something had occurred to her.
"No, but she's very nice to me, she often buys me food."
The little girl shook her head.
"Did you buy the flowers you sent me?"
Chael's expression became somewhat unnatural.
"Yes, I bought it with the money I made from selling flowers."
The little flower girl nodded.
For a fleeting moment, Xia Er felt like she deserved to die.
"The money from selling flowers?"
He asked uncertainly.
"Yes, I sell flowers here every day. I don't earn much, but I cherish it."
The little flower girl nodded earnestly.
"Are you helping that lady sell flowers?"
Xia'er was starting to understand.
"No, I have my own flowers too, and I sell them myself."
The little flower girl shook her head.
"You sell flowers, and so does she?"
Xia Er blinked and pointed at the flower girl, somewhat confused about the situation.
"Yes, she also sells flowers, and she even taught me how to sell flowers."
The little flower girl looked at the flower-selling girl and nodded.
"Isn't she afraid you'll steal her business?"
Xia Er was puzzled. Was that girl really that kind?
"No, she's a very nice person, and the flowers we sell are all different."
The little flower girl chuckled and said.
"no the same?"
Xia Er looked at the little girl. Was one selling roses and the other selling wildflowers?
"Her flowers are real, mine are fake."
The little flower girl smiled, then leaned close to Xia'er's ear mysteriously and whispered something.
"Fake?"
Xia Er looked at the little girl in surprise. It must be quite difficult to fake this, right?
"Look, her flowers are real, but mine are all handmade."
The little girl pointed to the flower stall and said.
"So, was what you gave me real or fake?"
Xia Er looked at the flower in his hand. He must be an extraordinary being, unable to tell the difference between real and fake flowers.
"Of course it's true! Although I bought it with the money I earned from selling flowers, I'm not lying to you."
The little flower girl blinked and smiled slyly.
Then I still deserve to die!
Suppressing his complex emotions, Xia Er's curiosity took over. "How did you make the flowers?"
"Look, I picked these up and pieced them together to make a bouquet."
The flower girl took a small cloth bag out of her pocket, and inside were some flower petals and leaves.
Chael fell silent.
He reached out and patted the little girl's head, and the little girl lowered her head shyly.
"Does anyone buy your flowers?"
He asked softly.
"Of course! Although the flowers I sell are fake, many people still like my flowers."
The little flower girl puffed out her chest and said proudly.
"Look, this flower is made of rose petals, and this flower is made of daisies."
She opened the small cloth bag she was carrying to show it off.
"Look, isn't it beautiful?"
She took out a fake flower, handed it to Xia Er, and smiled.
"Yes, it's beautiful. You're really amazing."
Chael forced a smile.
The little flower girl smiled happily, revealing a missing front tooth.
"You gave me flowers, so let me give you a gift in return."
Chael's smile became more natural.
"Really? What's the gift?"
The little flower girl's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
What do you want?
"I asked, Shael."
The little flower girl tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "I want..."
"I want a literacy book! Is that okay?"
She seemed to be thinking, and after a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she excitedly grabbed Xia Er's hand and said.
"Doesn't the Church of the Night offer free night school?"
"I asked the little girl," Xia Er asked.
"I... I sell flowers during the day and help with chores at home at night, so I don't have time to go to night school."
The little flower girl's eyes dimmed as she spoke.
"I see..."
Xia Er spoke softly, pondering how to properly resolve this issue.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you can't read, I can go and listen to stories told by people who can read..."
The little flower girl lowered her head, looking somewhat disappointed.
"Don't be disappointed, didn't you want a literacy book?"
I'll send it to you.
Xia Er reached out and patted the little flower girl's head.
"Really? Thank you! You're such a kind person!"
The little flower girl looked up, her eyes sparkling.
"What's your name?"
Xia Er looked at the little girl and asked.
"My name is Rebecca, but my sisters call me Becca."
The little flower girl answered happily.
"Does Becca want to go to school?"
"I asked the little girl," Xia Er asked.
He then realized that some areas in the North District were the same as those in the East District.
"I want to...but..."
Becca's eyes sparkled, but she hesitated.
"Is your family facing financial difficulties?"
"I asked the little girl," Xia Er asked.
"Yes, things are tough at home."
Becca nodded slightly, her voice somewhat downcast.
"Don't worry, you'll have the opportunity to study in a while."
"It's not just you, many people will have the opportunity."
Chael assured the little girl.
"Really? You're not lying to me, are you?"
A glimmer of expectation flashed in the eyes of Becca, the little flower seller.
"I swear to the goddess, your wish will come true."
Chael drew a crimson moon on her chest.
To be honest, he wasn't this moved even when Goshinam offered him the Cataclysm trait.
So, Hurricane General, I need money to open a school, please just die.
