"........"

After hearing Lux's answer, Shikali couldn't say a word for a while, and said helplessly after a long silence.

"It's cause and effect..."

After the grammar class, Lacus was sitting on the desk happily looking at the blackboard, and Castle stood in front of the blackboard and said to Lacus.

"It takes a carpenter ten hours to process two tables and four stools, and 22 hours to process four tables and eight chairs. Ask him how many hours it will take him to process ten tables, ten stools, and ten chairs?"

"If we want to solve this problem, we need to use the assignment method. First, let's assume that it takes three hours to process a table, and one hour to process a stool..."

After Casinor finished speaking, he looked at Lux who was already asleep on the table and fell into a long thought.

"kindness......."

important day

For some reason, this peaceful time seemed extremely long in Violet's heart, especially after returning from Steeljord, after her hopes were shattered, and after she got nothing, her sense of loneliness disappeared. It came quietly inadvertently until it covered the entire atrium.

Violet is still the perfect, outstanding woman when she is working. Her meticulous attitude and rigorous and fast work efficiency make her stand out from the crowd of puppets. She may be the first in Violet's perception One thing is to write letters, so after pouring all the heart and soul into it, the skill obtained is also unrivaled.

But every time after work, on that quiet night without busyness and tasks, Violet sat by the window and felt that the time was extremely long, as long as counting all the stars in the sky, dawn Still hasn't arrived.

When there is no job or task to urge her to concentrate, a voice of self-examination and that emotion called loneliness will spontaneously arise in Violet's heart.She had been away from Adele for too long, and this voice kept asking her one and only question.

How can I pay for the sins I committed?

"Maybe it's really difficult for you to learn these things. Let's start with something simpler. Maybe you can start with the postman. After all, you just need to deliver according to the address. Are you right, Lacus?"

"Hey, Castor, don't always impose what you think is right on others."

Benedict, who was sitting on the side, ate a bowl of fried noodles with big mouthfuls, while Lacus sat on the side with some restraint. After all, being denied such a thing would make it uncomfortable for anyone.

"Sorry, I didn't mean what you thought, it's just Lacus, you have to know that although the postman sounds easy, it is actually a hard job. With your slender and fragile body, how can you carry a big bag of letters everywhere? Delivery? You're not Violet."

It seems that there is a precedent like Violet. The dolls in the post office are very tolerant towards Lacus. After all, they have all seen when Violet has no emotions and can't do anything well. The original Violet was so much better, maybe in the future, she will become an excellent woman like Violet, or even surpass Violet.

The dolls all believed this.

"Put her in my office. I just don't have a secretary. I'm busy with internal and external affairs. I think I can't support myself."

Hawkins came up and patted Lacus on the head lightly. Lacus had never heard that magnetic and reassuring voice, so she was very dependent on this middle-aged man, and even this feeling had surpassed Vivian's. Elliott.

"There is one more thing."

Hawkins said to the puppets.

"A big day is coming."

The dolls raised their heads curiously, and Major Kilberut in the kitchen came out with the new dishes he was trying to make.

"Yeah yeah."

"Violet's birthday."

As soon as this sentence came out, the faces of all the dolls were filled with excitement. The age of youth is also the age of formal adulthood. In this memorable coming-of-age ceremony, it is indeed necessary to celebrate it.

"Although I don't know if Violet would like us to spend her birthday with her, and..."

"On this once-in-a-lifetime day, her most important person is not by her side. This feeling is indeed too cruel..."

At this time, Violet was holding an empty jam jar in her hand, and the transparent glass refracted colorful brilliance in the sun, just like Adele's eyes, translucent, holy white, reflecting Colorful rays of light.Violet felt that her chief seemed to have left or never left. Although she had never heard that concerned voice since that day, looking around, Adele seemed to be everywhere. Everything that Violet owns now reflects the shadow of Chief Adele.

"Violet."

Kil Beirut brought his newly made lemon cake to the front of the girl, and said with some concern.

"That... I made a new dessert, can you try it for me?"

Violet held the cake in front of her, and put the cream full of lemon flavor and lime grated into her mouth, her expression remained unchanged, but this expressionless look made people feel that this was her, this It was her, Violet.

"tasty."

Silently putting down the cake, the major looked at Violet at this moment, feeling a little distressed.

"The wait is too long, and it's not yet a certain future."

"It's just an ancient book, it can't prove anything, but it is the only one, the spark of hope."

"but......."

If this journey of redemption is over, but the angel does not come to the appointment, what should Violet do? This cruel question has never been uttered by Gilbert.

In fact, the retirement allowance left by Adele and the small house left to her by Lucia are enough for Violet to have a family and live a stable life without working or worrying, but it allows her to live in the This long loneliness is really a kind of torture, and suffering.

"Birthday is approaching, Violet, how do you want to spend this memorable day?"

"I don't know, but please rest assured, Major, this will not affect my work."

Birthdays, especially adult birthdays, maybe all girls will think about having some unforgettable experiences on this day, but looking at the girl in front of him who is still thinking about work, the major can't help feeling a little bit of pain in his heart, as if a The sharp knife slowly pierced her heart.

"That was not what I meant....."

The major still wanted to continue talking, but Violet stared at the cake in her hand, pondering for a moment, when she raised her head again, there seemed to be a faint light and spirit in those empty eyes.

"This cake, can you teach me how to make it?"

Seeing Violet's appearance, Gilbert sighed softly, with a relieved smile on his face, yes, Violet is no longer the fragile girl she used to be, nor has she left the officer, It can't survive, it's a machine that only obeys orders.

"I think you should know what you want to do on your birthday..."

After hearing what the major said, Violet nodded.

"It's a big day . . . I hope it becomes meaningful."

"I thought, I seem to know this day, what should I do...."

store manager and colonel

With the rapid development of the economy, it is actually a good thing that there are newcomers with promising future in the post office one after another. And CH Post Company, under the leadership of the president, has grown stronger and stronger, and finally it is no longer just a few dolls in the past. It's time to work overtime and take the lead.

As Violet's birthday is approaching, the new couples may not feel too much, but for these old people who get along day and night, this is indeed a memorable day, because they have walked through the darkest day together Over the past few years, and these days, Major Kilberut has also shown special concern for Violet, and perhaps wants to make up for what he has committed.

"Here are today's documents. I have sorted them out for you, President."

For the job of secretary, Lux also got used to it for a few days and then hurriedly took up the job, but unexpectedly, she seemed to be very handy in this job, sorting files, arranging time, ordering appointments, etc. were done very well, According to her, when she was bored in the past, she would always play with all kinds of flowers in the garden. In that artificial garden, each flower has its own potting soil. She often arranges and combines these flowers. It can also be regarded as a way of pastime, but unexpectedly it came in handy at this time.

"Recently, Violet's nomination and schedule have been scheduled for three months later, but there are still successive nominations to be scheduled for three months later."

A puppet that does not raise the price, but has extremely superb ghostwriting skills, whoever it is, would want her to do the ghostwriting. Hawkins also discussed the price increase with Violet, but was rejected by Violet. Refused.

"Okay, I know."

Just as Hawkins was slowly studying these nominations and commissions, a familiar voice came, especially loud in the hall on the first floor.

"Hey! Hawkins you bastard!!!"

Nova came to the lobby of the company with a cart of wine. The prosthetic leg of his right leg hit the ground, and every step he took made the sound of heavy hard objects colliding. Seeing the man panting, he transported the cart full of red wine It was really difficult for him to come over with a heavy car.

"Don't ask anyone to help me!!! Bastard!!!!"

While complaining, Nova suddenly looked around. There are dolls dressed in exquisite clothes and fiber optics all around. Who can help him carry these things? He won't do it.

"Relax, my old buddy, I'm here too, to give you some performance and help you tide over the difficulties."

"Then I can thank you very much."

Pushing the trolley full of red wine in front of Hawkins, Nova scratched his head, not knowing why.

"So what do you want to do with so much wine?"

"Hold a banquet, it's the company's year-end summary, and it's also an important birthday party."

Hawkins elbowed the grumbling, sweaty man.

"If you want to come, I don't mind sending you an invitation."

"Huh~??!!! Why do I want to come to this kind of house wine that you run, I don't need your pity."

"I don't pity you, it's an insult to the soldiers."

Poured a full glass of ruby-like wine and handed it to Nova, Hawkins said.

"We're brothers, aren't we. You, me, and Dieterfleet, and his brother."

Nova frowned when he heard the name, and like an enraged lion, he raised his hand and slammed the glass of wine! ! ! !The ground was smashed to the ground, and the crimson wine flowed all over the ground. For these two people who had experienced the war, they would even see it as the blood-stained land.

"Who is his friend!"

"I will not admit him! I will not forgive him! Never! Our comrades-in-arms, our brothers, died tragically because of his hypocrisy! Me and those who died! Aren't we brothers!? "

"We can't live in the past forever, we have to come out."

Hawkins was not angry because of the throwing of the cup, he just calmly patted Nova on the shoulder.

"If you hate him so much, why do you keep mentioning his brother's name?"

......

In the naval headquarters at this time, Lacus stood in front of the aura-filled man with some trepidation, holding two invitation letters in his hand.

"Throat~? The birthday party and year-end meeting held by that Hawkins guy?"

"Why do I have to bring my sister with me when I go to such a place as a senior colonel? Huh?"

Still with the condescending and playful attitude, Lacus obviously couldn't handle it, and in the process, Dieterfleet was also looking up and down Lacus, the lavender hair with a white gradient, looking mysterious and beautiful And noble, not like a girl from an ordinary family, but like a princess.

Dieter Fleet is also thinking, where did Hawkins find these dolls to work for him, be it Violet or Eddie...

At this time, Lacus' eyes were focused on the six steaming boxed lunches on the colonel's table. They were just there. The colonel didn't eat a bite, but just watched quietly. When the old friend was still there, he had already I'm used to doing this, but now no one can eat this six-cent box lunch anymore.

"Come here, take a portion to eat. Send the rest to the other puppets."

Although Dieter Fleet was mean, he still accepted Lacus' invitation, and Lemafelt, who was done with work, also came to his brother's office, looking at the six-cent lunch on the table, and this strange girl, Lema He picked up the invitation card on the table and read it carefully.

"Birthday party..."

Touching the still steaming lunch box, Lema said to the colonel.

"Brother, why did you make so many meals again? It's been several times, what a waste."

"I don't know, Lema. Maybe I'm used to it. I don't know why, but looking at the six boxed lunches on the table makes me feel at ease."

Lemafelt picked up a lunch box and handed it to Lacus. Lema, the student council president who graduated from a noble girls' school, was a little shocked to see such a beautiful girl. Facing such a temperamental black-haired sister, I can't help but feel a little deer in my heart.

Watching Lacus slowly eat the boxed lunch, Lema sighed softly and put the invitation into his pocket, and murmured.

"These lunch boxes are to remind you that the person is still alive."

"Live somewhere, maybe never find it..."

Stuffing the rest of the food and the fruits on the table into Lux's hands, Lema said slowly.

"Go back, my brother and I will be on time for the appointment."

lemon cake

"I didn't say I would definitely go."

"You made decisions for me without authorization, Lema, you have never changed since you were a child. I don't know if you are as arrogant to outsiders as you are to me."

After seeing off Lacus, Lema looked at her brother, both of them had their own pride, and neither would give in to the other.

"I didn't put on an arrogant attitude. I was in a friendly state just now. On the contrary, you have kept the shadow of your father all these years, but you have never surpassed him."

"I'm going to take care of mom."

Lema didn't say a word of nonsense. Before leaving, she took away the wad of money that her brother put on the table. When Aidier was working in the hospital, she would often secretly waive part of the medical expenses. Now that she is gone, the medical expenses The bill is also so thick that it takes a wad of money to settle it.Lema didn't know if she had an illusion. After Aidier left, the hospital was no longer that sacred place, but was thinking about their family's status, making money crazily in it.

"Before you left, I thought the world was beautiful."

"Now I just find it ugly."

......

Winter is approaching. In the small kitchen of CH Postal Company, Major Kilberut and Violet are slowly drinking two bowls of ginger soup. Violet's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds during this period. It took the major a week to make the lemon cake, but Violet only took half a day to learn it.

"Lemons in winter are very expensive. To be precise, vegetables and fruits are very expensive."

"After all, it was shipped from the southernmost part, and there are transportation and labor costs involved. Moreover, those southerners who do business are smart people, and they want to get some benefits."

Violet slowly stirred the fragrant animal cream in her hand, then added the crumbs of lime zest and lemon juice into it, spread the lemon honey jam sandwich in the middle of the cake base, covered it with a layer of cake base and then put it on top Spread maple syrup for a three-layer layer cake with lemon jam and maple syrup, then spread lemon cream for a refreshing lemon cake.
