"What are you talking about?" Dina's expression stiffened at the mention of her heart.
The heart in her body was neither hers nor hers. It was not only the guarantee of her survival, but also proof that the thing was still alive — even if it was just a way to comfort herself.
"You know what the thing in your chest is."
Romuona turned to Dina and spoke to her in a declarative tone instead of a question.
She was right. Of course, Dina knew what the thing in her chest was. If she didn't know, she wouldn't regard it as something more important than her own heart.
"So what if I know … Is it a bad thing?"
Romuona stared at Dina, making Dina feel a little scared. However, there was no malice in this woman's eyes. She just looked at her quietly, and Dina didn't know how to deal with it.
This was the scariest thing. Dina didn't care about those hostile and fearful gazes, but this kind of emotionless eyes made her uneasy.
There was nothing scarier than something you couldn't see through. This woman was the same, and so was that old woman Lulunaka.
"What's its name?" Romuona continued to ask.
Dina didn't expect Romuona to ask this. "Do you mean its name?"
Romuona nodded, but Dina couldn't answer.
What's its name?
Although it was unbelievable, she really didn't know.
"I don't know," Dina answered honestly, which made Romuona frown. "You don't know?"
"It's not something I can communicate with. You can't expect a dog-like existence to talk to me, right?
No, there are many such things … But it's definitely not it. "
Romuona also knew very well that it couldn't speak.
It was such an exquisite life form, so why didn't Lulunaka consider installing a communication function for it?
She asked, but Lulunaka didn't give her an answer. As usual, she let them think about all the questions themselves.
"To you, it always has a name."
Romuona didn't let Zendina off the hook just like that. She continued to ask, "What's its name to you?"
Romuona was a little aggressive, as if she would not stop until she got an answer from Zendina.
Lulunaka did nothing but look at the two of them with a smile. There was even a hint of malice in her eyes — be it Romuona or Zendina, they couldn't care less about this nasty guy who was watching the show.
"I …" Dina thought for a long time and finally gave an unexpected answer.
Now that she was being interrogated by Romuona, she realized that she had overlooked something very important.
"I don't know."
Romuona was silent for a while before grabbing Zendina's shoulder.
Her hand was very light. She grabbed Dina's shoulder as if she was hugging her young sister.
"Why?
If it is a special existence, then it should have a name for you.
Doesn't it even have a name? "
Zendina was a little scared, but there was a burst of anger in her heart. "How would I know!?"
Zendina slapped Romuona's hand away. Her eyes were full of resistance against this woman. "I didn't know how to speak back then!
In that kind of place, who could say for sure who lived more like a dog, me or it!? "
Although Zendina was a willful girl, her temper wasn't too bad. She was just more wary of strangers. This was a character that came from her background. This was also why she didn't try to get close to strangers like Xu Qing and Bunny Chrysanthemum. She found it inconceivable that Lulunaka would smile at everyone.
She didn't have any intention of getting close to Romuona, a wonderful woman. Moreover, Bunny Chrysanthemum and a beautiful woman like her would easily arouse her vigilance.
However, this wasn't the reason why her mood suddenly worsened and she showed her irritable side.
This woman named Romuona was pressuring her step by step. She was stabbing at Zendina like a sharp knife on a topic that Zendina didn't want to discuss at all.
This made Zendina angry, and her impression of the woman in front of her became even worse.
Lulunaka, who was watching from the side, chuckled as if she had seen an angry cat, a dog, or none of them. Was it a ferocious beast?
Either way, it was very interesting.
Romionna's pupils constricted, and Zendina's sudden outburst of anger due to her emotional changes. Romionna did not panic, nor did her emotions fluctuate. Instead, she tightened her grip on Zendina's shoulders. "It has to have a name. What do you think its name is?"
Romuona's tone became heavier. She didn't care about Zendina's change at all. She became a little aggressive, which made Zendina's emotions even further away from calmness.
"You …"
Neither of them was willing to back down. The atmosphere became more and more dangerous. The person who seemed to be able to mediate was just watching the show.
"Ladies, don't do something as tasteless as pulling your hair."
After a while, Lulunaka finally spoke. "Girl, the heart in your chest used to be the closest to the woman in front of you … It was closer than me, its creator. I was jealous of it for a long time."
Putting the first half of the sentence aside, Zendina was sure that the old woman was lying about the second half.
If the old woman still had any negative emotions, then there was no doubt that it was a bad hobby of toying with others for fun. As for drowning herself in negative emotions, Zendina thought it was a joke.
But was the first half of the sentence true?
Zendina looked at Romuona. "What's its name?"
"Do you want to hear a name you've never heard of before from me and then admit defeat?"
Romuona didn't answer Zendina's question. "Do you know what it is? Is what I know the same as what you know?
Or is the most important friend to you just an alchemy creature without a name? "
"Don't get carried away, woman …" Zendina's voice became hoarse and low. It was completely different from her usual voice.
This wasn't a good sign, especially when there were two sharp, metallic things slowly emerging from her little mouth.
"You two can slowly communicate. Just don't fight."
Lulunaka still had no intention of stopping them. She was just watching the show. She didn't react or feel anything to Zendina's resentful gaze. She was such a person, so naturally, she wouldn't care.
However, Romuona's gaze made her feel a little guilty.
"I'm going to chat with the owner over there. You two make yourselves at home."
Lulunaka got up and left the two who were filled with the smell of gunpowder. Rei, who was fast asleep, wriggled her body on the bench like a snake hibernating.
