Chapter 139 Comb, Mirror, and Diary

"It really suits Sylphy."

Sylphy looked at the slit of her skirt with some embarrassment.
The buckle of the sock strap is vaguely visible in the gap
Her ears trembled, and she was not sure whether it was appropriate to wear this, so she asked.

"Should I take off my socks?"

Hilda smiled.

"Do you want to take it off now?"

Sylphy was stunned for a moment, then quickly stretched out her hands and waved them repeatedly.

"No! No! I just said that it would look weird to wear it like this."

Hilda tilted her head slightly to look at Sylphy's feet, then covered her mouth with her hands, shook her head and laughed.

"No, it's just right for Sylphy's current age. If she's older, maybe she'd look more dignified if she took off her socks."

Sylphy was stunned for a moment, and before she could understand what Hilda meant, she was pulled by the other party and pressed on the shoulders to sit on the chair in front of the window.

In front of her.

It's a dressing mirror.

Under the mirror is Hilda's dressing table.

She blinked and saw Hilda's face popping out from behind her neck. In the reflection of the mirror, she pointed at her half-dry, half-wet, slightly messy white hair that was draped over her shoulders.

"It's a little messy, do you need to comb your hair?"

As the words came in, Hilda's fingers came into her sight and she picked up a comb from the side of the dressing table.

Sylphy's eyes widened and she was about to stand up.

"Myself!"

But Hilda pressed him down on the chair.

The latter picked up the comb and began to comb Sylphy's hair very skillfully.

The white hair flows through the gaps between the comb teeth like water, rubbing gently against the hair, causing a little itchiness.

This reminded Sylphy of Norda who was far away in Buena Village.

The same tenderness, similar techniques.

It is the unique scent of a mother.

After hesitating for a moment, Sylphy wanted to ask to comb her hair.

It's so embarrassing.

Just then, Hilda's voice rang out.

"Don't be nervous or embarrassed. I'm very happy that you came to Boreas because it makes me feel at home."

Sylphy froze, her eyes wide open trying to see Hilda's expression clearly in the mirror.

But after taking the comb, she straightened her body, and the top of the mirror was just stuck on the edge of her elegant neck line.

No face in sight.

".Ma'am, it is our pleasure."

The action of combing hair remains the same as usual.

".Don't be nervous and feel your body stiff."

“No, no.”

In the silence, the only sound was the comb teeth scraping through hair.

Sylphy relaxed a little, but at this moment, Hilda's voice rang out again.

The content of the words made Sylphy's heart tremble.

".At lunch, when you were leaving, I saw you looking back at me."

It wasn't just Sylphy's heart that was trembling.

And Hilda’s voice.

"Do you have something you want to tell me?"

"No! No."

Sylphy looked at her own pupils in the mirror.

After a while, he continued.

"I just thought you were very kind, so I looked at you a few more times. You reminded me of my mother."

There was silence behind them, and Sylphy looked at Hilda's motionless hands on the comb in the mirror.

Her fingers are slender and the back of her hands are rosy and fair, but because of this, the slightly yellow calluses on her index finger and thumb are particularly obvious.

At this moment, Sylphy felt as if time had stopped.

I do not know how long it has been.

A voice like a sigh came from behind.

"That's it"

Time continues to flow forward like water.

The teeth of the comb passed through Sylphy's hair again.

"I'm sorry, do you feel pressured? My dear and I are used to my appearance. Maybe it still feels gloomy to outsiders?"

"No! Madam is very kind. At least, I think she is very kind."

Hilda seemed stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

Following this laughter, Sylphy finally felt her heart, which had been held in her fist, begin beating again.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The stiff body also relaxed.

Hilda's clothes swayed in the mirror, as if she was shaking her head.

She reached out and combed Sylphy's tangled hair, and her tone returned to normal.

"How old is Sylphy?"

"7 is old."

"Oh? You're younger than I expected. When I was your age, I was still attending an aristocratic school."

"Ma'am. Very elegant."

"Are you saying it's because of the aristocratic school? No, that's because I received special training after marrying into the Boreas family." "Yes! Is that so?!"

"Yes, but to be honest, I met my dear on his tenth birthday. I was only nine at the time. So if you think about it this way, you are not that young either."

"..Yes..Yes."

"Yes, but we didn't get married until six years later because my family was not as well-matched as Boreas's. At that time, it seemed that my father didn't quite agree with my dear bringing me to the Boreas family."

“Ah!! Is that so?!”

"But I couldn't persuade him. After all, he was already sixteen years old at the time, and I couldn't drag it on any longer. I heard that afterward, his father beat and scolded him, but he still agreed to his request, haha."

"Is Lord Philip such a person?"

"Accident?"

"some."

Hilda smiled.

".You can listen to everything I say, unlike Alice, who usually doesn't listen to me and is always thinking about finding Gilene. Sylphy looks very mature."

"No. I just learned from others."

"Learn from others?"

"To Allen and Teacher Lokishi."

"Really? But I see that your eyes are very tough. This is not the look you would imitate from others. I really like your eyes."

Sylphy's ears twitched.

"Nowhere"

"No?" Hilda's voice was still full of laughter.

".Actually, I decided last night not to learn from them anymore. I want to be tougher."

"Oh? Did I hear about that because of Thomas? It was obviously my dear who wanted to take you here to be a tutor, but it brought you some trouble instead." Hilda was a little surprised.

“Part of the reason, but not all.”

".It seems that you don't want to talk about it, so I won't ask. Sylphy has her own ideas, so keep up the good work."

".good."

"I heard that your Water King-level magician teacher was also the teacher of Rudy's child?"

"Yes."

"She must be very talented to be able to raise children like you and Rudy who are already excellent magicians at such a young age."

"Yes! The teacher is excellent and is my idol."

"Then Alan is also very good. I remember my dear said that he is also Rudy's tutor. Was he brought to the village by that Luo Qixi?"

"No, Allen went to the Knight's house on his own after being recommended by his teacher. But later, his teacher turned back and returned to Buena Village. Only then did Allen suggest that he accept me as his apprentice."

Hilda was stunned for a moment, then put down the comb.

"I heard that Alan is also an adventurer. Is Luo Qixi his companion?"

".Yes."

Hilda reached out and touched Sylphy's head.

Then he leaned down and looked into Sylphy's eyes in the mirror.

Sylphy saw Hilda's smiling face again.

I don't know if it's because the sun has set much further than before, causing the light in the house to be less bright than before. Or maybe it's because she has been out of sight for too long, causing her to have wrong assumptions.

Sylphy felt that Hilda's smile was a little dim.

The next moment, that feminine voice sounded in her ear, pulling her back to reality from her momentary trance.

she says.

"Do you hate your teacher?"

Sylphy's pupils suddenly contracted, and she spoke without thinking.

"Not at all! I like Teacher Lokishi very much!"

"Oh? How much do you like it?"

"I love it! I respect her so much!"

Hilda seemed to be observing Sylphy's expression, and smiled after a moment.

"That's good."

She casually placed the comb on the table.

Turn around.
