ASHES OF DEEP SEA

Chapter 143: Chapter 147: Appearing in the Real World?

“Uncle Duncan, I’m off to school!”

With a cheerful greeting, Nina darted downstairs. She turned to wave at the second floor, then headed towards the front door.

The rest day had ended; it was a school day again.

But before she reached the door, Nina suddenly stopped. She saw a figure swaying behind a nearby shelf—it was Sherry.

“Ah, Sherry,” Nina said happily, waving at the girl in front of her, “I was wondering where you went—shall we go together?”

“Together?” Sherry blinked, confused, “Go where?”

“To school. Today is…” Nina began instinctively, but then she remembered halfway and her face showed an awkward expression, “Ah, sorry, I forgot…”

Sherry wasn’t her classmate and didn’t attend school; their pleasant times spent in the campus were merely a play—Nina knew this, but after all, it had indeed happened. Many times, she still forgot.

Sherry’s face also showed an odd expression for a moment, and a hint of apology flashed in her eyes, but she quickly recovered and shook her head gently, “I won’t join you, my… ‘Scout activities’ at that school are done.”

“Right,” Nina pursed her lips, returning to her usual smiling self quickly, “Sorry, I forgot. Shall I go ahead then?”

“Yes,” Sherry nodded, but then seemed to remember something, adding, “By the way, Nina, I… I’m going home today.”

“Going home?” Nina paused, seemingly unable to process the two words. In just two days, she had naturally come to consider Sherry as part of this place, so when the latter mentioned going home, Nina was a bit slow to grasp the concept, “You won’t be here?”

“I have to go home; I was only staying here temporarily,” Sherry explained, waving her hands, as she conveyed what she had wanted to say for a while. “I mentioned it to Mr. Duncan too, and he agreed.”

Nina fell silent, a bit dazed, and after a few seconds, she hesitantly spoke, “Then… will you come back?”
