"......................" Norton just rested his chin quietly, staring at the perfumer in front of him without blinking. Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

After five minutes, his expressionless face moved slightly, as if he came back to his senses from some kind of contemplation, and then he slowly spoke again:

"Villa? No, Chloe! You are Chloe!" Norton said, rubbing his temples vigorously, as if to sort out the chaotic memories deep in his mind. After some hard recall, he was finally sure that the person in front of him was Chloe.

In fact, Norton had met this perfumer once before.

Do you remember that not long ago, he even visited her and asked her to make a large amount of perfume for him?

At that time, Vera and Chloe showed up together! So seeing that only "Chloe" was here alone, Norton couldn't help but feel confused and puzzled.

So he couldn't wait to ask, "Where is Vera? Why are you here alone?"

The perfumer looked at Norton in shock and did not answer his question. Yes, where did Vera go? Isn't she the one who knows best?

.......................................................................

But fortunately, Norton didn't have time to ask in detail because the next person came over.

"This is just what you normally wear (⊙x⊙;)........." Really, no wonder Norton pointed at Muro and said that, because even Mike thought so.

Let's just say that if you put the clothes Muro is wearing now and the clothes he was wearing yesterday together and compare them, no one would be able to tell the difference.

"But this is the real me............"

Muro doesn't think there's anything good about wearing fancy clothes. Instead, he thinks they're cumbersome. If that's the case, then just keep it as it is. This is the truest version of himself!

Besides, I was wearing these ordinary clothes during the most important moments in my life, so it doesn’t seem to be deviating from the topic.

When I arrived at the manor, I was wearing such ordinary clothes.

When I saw Valletta and Natasha go on stage, I was still wearing such ordinary clothes.

When I went to Africa with everyone at that time, met Angelina and her people, and recorded the great feats of that time, I was still wearing this ordinary clothes.

It seems that no one has stipulated that we must wear fancy clothes on important occasions.

Aren’t those few moments the most important moments in life? Who would deliberately wear beautiful clothes and wait for such moments?

Muro is very satisfied with what he is doing now.

"Come. Come here, come here."

Mike squatted down and called Muro's wild boar over.

Of course Muro's wild boar knew Mike, and he ran over obediently. Mike took out a biscuit from somewhere and handed it to the wild boar.

"I stole your biscuits before I came to give them to you. Now I give them back to you."

.......................................................................

At this moment, the door of the restaurant opened again, and this time the person who came was Grace.

"It's this dress, I guessed you would choose this! I win!"

Before this, Norton and Mike set up a bet. They bet on what kind of clothes the next person would wear, and the winner would get a gold coin.

"I'll admit defeat." Norton flicked a gold coin into Mike's arms.

Grace was wearing the one with the weeping goddess, Mike guessed correctly.

But Mike didn't reach out to catch the gold coin. He let it roll to the ground because he had more important things to do.

Mike quietly came to Grace's ear and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Is the stage ready, Sister Grace?"

"Of course, Mike, trust me...but I don't really trust myself."

The owner of the manor asked her to do such a thing. Grace was really unsure and a little worried that she might not be able to complete such an action. She was afraid that she would mess up everything.

.......................................................................

"It's okay." At this moment, Valletta also joined in their whisper.

"I was also nervous when I first went on stage. Don't worry, think carefully about who you are performing for, and then you can calm down."

This was how Violetta felt when she first came on stage. In fact, she was still unsure when the curtain opened and the audience began to applaud.

When the dream is about to come true, most people don’t feel the joy of getting what they want, but the worry that they might make mistakes along the way.

It wasn’t until she saw Norton and Jose Baden among the crowd that she felt a little relieved. Then, the familiar melody behind her made her realize that——

Everyone is here, she has to perform at her best.

"Don't worry, you'll be nervous the first time you stand on stage, but when you really stand on stage, everything will be fine."

.......................................................................

At this moment, the fisherwoman came over and stood beside Grace.

When they stood closer, the difference between them became even more obvious; one looked like a goddess from the ocean, while the other looked more like a monster that had crawled out of the swamp.

Suddenly, Grace approached the fisherwoman.

The fisher girl subconsciously wanted to step back. She didn't like contact with others. To be more precise, no one liked to get close to her.

Normally, supervisors don't like to stay near her because she has a damp feeling all over her body, and being with her makes them feel like their bodies are going to mold.

This is not an exaggeration. There was once a time when the violinist just sat next to the fisherwoman, and they were even more than one meter apart. As a result, in less than half a minute, his clothes were completely wet.

Even the supervisors hated the feeling of getting wet, so they chose to stay away from the Fisher Girl.

The survivors in the game didn't like touching her either, even if she was just dragging them to the gallows, they didn't like Grace's skin touching them.

[Her skin felt like a dead fish that had been dead for several years, rotten, cold and sticky.]

Just by being touched by her, the survivors felt a chill running from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

No one likes to be with the Fisher Girl and will subconsciously stay away from her.

This feeling, which seems a bit like cold violence or bullying, is not uncommon in such places. Besides, they did not commit any real violent acts, but just subconsciously stayed away from the fisher girl.

The fisher girl can't speak, and even if she really doesn't like the way everyone is doing, why does she quietly walk to the corner every time she is with others? Isn't that tacit consent?

.......................................................................

No.........

That's not the case......

In fact, the Fisher Girl doesn’t like everyone doing this. After all, if given a choice, who would like that cold and damp feeling?

She wanted to touch something warm, but she couldn't. Even when she put her hand into the blazing flames, she couldn't feel any warmth.

All the things that humans can use to generate heat, fire, sunlight, or thick clothes, cannot make the fisher girl feel the slightest warmth.

It was not until one day in a game that she accidentally discovered that she could feel people's body temperature. It was the only thing that could make her feel warm.

That's why she subconsciously came into contact with other supervisors and survivors during that period of time. But as I said just now, who would like to stay with a cold, damp dead fish like her all the time?

It turns out that if I do that, everyone will feel disgusted..............

So from then on, the fisher girl would subconsciously stay in a corner quietly when there were people around, stay away from everyone, so that no one would feel the coldness on her. Wouldn't that make others dislike her less?

.......................................................................

So when Grace approached her, the fisher girl subconsciously wanted to step back, but she was still hugged by Grace.

"None of this is your fault. You are really great. Swim upwards as hard as you can and escape from the dark seabed."

Grace had already reconciled with the past, so she hoped that her other self in the other world could do the same. She hoped that the Fisher Girl could do the same. What happened in Lakeview Village was not her fault at all. It was all caused by the superstition of those ignorant villagers.

“............” The fisher girl didn’t know how to answer, nor did she know what to do. She hadn’t had contact with normal living people for a very long time. What should she do next? What kind of answer should she make? What kind of action should she take?

"Wow!!!"

Suddenly, Mike exclaimed, because just now, he reached out and touched the fisher girl's gray arm.

The sticky, wet and cold feeling was just like touching those dead, stale or even rotten fish that the vendors were about to dispose of.

It's no wonder that Mike made such an exclamation, because he didn't expect that Sister Grace's body in another world would be so cold. After he subconsciously loosened his hand, there was even a layer of mucus on his hand. Any normal person would feel a little tingling.

Mike shook his right hand vigorously, but found that it was useless and most of the mucus remained on his palm.

Mike looked at his hands, then looked at the fisherwoman.

Mike's frowning look made the fisherwoman subconsciously want to apologize, but before she could open her mouth, Mike suddenly hugged her from the side, and held her tightly in his arms together with Grace.

With Mike at the beginning, followed by Murro, Andrew, Norton and Violetta.

"Wait a minute, everyone......"

Being hugged by so many people, the fisherwoman's subconscious reaction was to ask everyone to let her go quickly. Although she finally felt warm and a little cherished, what she cared about more was that if everyone got too close to her, all the beautiful clothes on them would be dirty and wet.

"Sister Fisherwoman..." At this moment, Mike raised his head and said to the Fisherwoman, "You are so cold... You must have been very scared at that time..."

It can make a person's body so cold, one can imagine how much pain the fisher girl was in at that time, so Mike hugged her tightly. He didn't care whether his clothes would be dirty by the fisher girl. He just hoped to give the fisher girl some warmth with his body temperature.

Similarly, Murro, Andrew, Norton and Valletta had the same idea. Sometimes everyone's ideas were so surprisingly consistent.

The atmosphere of their manor is like this————

Everyone knows the pain that each other has experienced, and everyone tacitly chooses not to talk about it or ask about it. But when the scars of one person are revealed, everyone will go over and give him a hug.
