Chapter 245

Besides blushing, Maria also felt lightheaded, and the scene before her eyes even began to sway.

She knew this was a symptom of low blood sugar.

This also made her realize that there was indeed no time for pretense now.

She took two steps as three, walked quickly to the table, and sat down.

A bowl of steaming hot rice then appeared before her.

Maria did not bother with those rules anymore.

"Thank you."

After saying thanks, she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat quickly.

Facts proved that once a person is desperately hungry, they really find everything delicious.

She picked up green vegetables, lettuce, and bamboo shoots with her chopsticks, one by one, into her rice bowl, and with the fragrant rice, Maria began to eat without any regard for manners.

This eating posture would probably make a grandmother-level figure quite happy to see.

Being able to eat is a blessing.

Ren Amamiya was not very surprised; Miss Maria had essentially not eaten all day yesterday, so being desperately hungry now was not a very normal thing?

After quickly finishing the bowl of rice before her, Maria's cheeks, which were like a hamster's, shrank back down.

Her face no longer had the pallor from before, but instead gained some ruddiness.

"Burp~"

She ate too fast, and stopping suddenly made her unable to help but burp.

Suddenly, a cup filled with warm water appeared before her eyes.

Maria immediately lifted the cup, drank the water in a few gulps, and suppressed the feeling of burping.

But after suppressing it, Maria's entire face turned red.

"Th-thank you..."

"No need to be polite."

It took quite a while for the embarrassment from just now to settle.

Only then did Maria slightly adjust her mood.

"Mr. Amamiya, did you get up so early today?"

"Got up early to check the surroundings of the inn."

"Plus, I was a bit hungry, so I thought about getting up early to eat something."

Ren Amamiya did not mention what had just happened, but instead changed the subject.

"Is Sanzenin still sleeping?"

"Mm, the impact on that child yesterday was still a bit too great."

"For her, this kind of cognition is not quite appropriate, but it is not too early."

Maria understood the meaning of this sentence.

Nagi had been kidnapped all along due to the issue of inheritance, so having this part of dangerous cognition is actually not a bad thing.

The people who kidnapped Nagi would not always treat her well.

Especially those desperate criminals.

Nagi needs to know the dangers that exist in this world, and also needs to have a certain concept of various kinds of dangers.

"That child has actually been forcing herself since before."

"I can see that."

Ren Amamiya was not unaware of Nagi Sanzenin's personality; she was tsundere and also very strong-willed, and sometimes, even though she was terrified to death, she would still force herself.

"She forced herself to get the method to resurrect her mother from the diary."

"But what does Miss Maria think?"

Maria fell silent for a while, and then she smiled.

"Having a certain motivation is the only way that child will know how to change."

"That child has been taken care of by me too well since the past, and now she is already becoming unable to leave me."

"Plus, that child's identity always attracts many kidnappers."

"This is what caused that child to dislike going out."

"Because that child knows that once she goes out, she will still face the possibility of being kidnapped."

This is obviously not a good thing.

Once isolated from the world for a long time, Nagi will absolutely become a shut-in.

Especially when someone is taking care of her nearby, she will absolutely stay in her comfort zone and never come out once.

In the past, she was also always worried about this problem.

But now Maria feels that perhaps letting Nagi come into contact with the Secret World is not a bad thing.

Now that Nagi has her own goal to move forward, even if she has to force herself, she will come out of her comfort zone.

Because only Nagi herself, relying on her own strength, can do the thing of saving Young Lady Shiko.

Regarding this, Maria bowed slightly to Ren Amamiya.

"Here, I need to thank Mr. Amamiya for the change you have brought to Nagi."

Ren Amamiya shook his head slightly.

"This is her own effort."

"It was I who told her the answer that Sanzenin Shiko did not die, but she can only rely on her own effort to pull Sanzenin Shiko back."

"The diary will grant the greatest motivation according to everyone's wishes."

"If you want to achieve it, you have to rely on your own efforts."

"If she wants to fulfill her wish, then she needs to make changes."

"This is the path she chose for herself."

After saying that, Ren Amamiya looked toward Maria.

"Besides, you are also one of her wishes."

"She doesn't want to be separated from you, which is why she began pushing herself to grow."

Maria's whole body relaxed, and her face wore a look of relief.

"I always thought that only by leaving her could I grow."

"But now it seems that perhaps telling her the ending of the story might also push her to grow."

"But if that's the case, then I really have no way to leave."

Although she said this, a smile had been hanging on Maria's face all along.

She actually didn't want to be separated from Nagi either.
