Chapter 269 Harold: I Want Them All
"You guys live very close to here. It only takes two hours to get here from Harold's research institute by taking the main road," said Seno.
“But the work of a ranger and a researcher does not overlap, and everyone has a different teaching style. For people who have no learning foundation, the more teachers the better,” Tinari said, stroking his chin and thinking.
Harold praised: "So Cole should be my student. I have other disciples. The learning atmosphere there is very strong. Cole can calm down and concentrate on learning medical theory by staying with me. What's more, I have someone who can dance--"
"Can you please not mention your deceptive flower? If Cole is curious, he can just take a look when he passes by your research institute. He doesn't need to worship you as his teacher just to see your 'flower'." Tinari rolled his eyes and interrupted Harold.
At the same time, he thought to himself: ...The learning atmosphere there? Is it the kind of learning atmosphere that turns normal people into laborers?
Harold smiled and said, "You are right, but I have the only dancing flower in Teyvat."
"Ah..." Cole touched the back of his head, somewhat at a loss.
"Harold has become a Tinari, too," said Senor suddenly.
After hearing Seno's confusing words, Harold and Tinari both tacitly kept silent.
"Why does Lord Seno say that?" Cole asked curiously.
"Because Harold keeps mentioning the fake flowers there." Seno calmly answered Cole's doubts.
A small question mark appeared above Cole's head, obviously he didn't understand.
Seno: "Hmm? Don't you understand? Their conflict stems from this. Tinari doesn't want Harold to 'raise there', but Harold insists on 'raising there'. So now Tinari is no longer 'raising there', Harold is 'raising there'..."
...
Harold and Tinari rolled their eyes at the same time.
Cole stood there with his eyes wide open.
"Isn't it funny?" Seno looked at the three people and asked expressionlessly.
"I remember that you never studied medicine again after coming to Xumi," Tinari ignored Senor and directly questioned Harold.
"You probably haven't done any research on the Demonic Scale Disease that is unique to Xumi. You are currently busy with your research project and guiding students, and you simply can't spare the time to research the Demonic Scale Disease from scratch."
Harold looked at Tinari without any guilt: "Why should I study the magic scale disease from scratch? Don't you have me? You can come to visit Cole every day and transfer grass element energy to my Liar Flower."
You and Cole, two rare owners of the Grass Elemental God's Eye, get the free fruit ripening agent. Don't bother to escape, I want them all.
Tinari: ...
How can you be so shameless!!
Tinari rubbed his forehead, smiled stiffly and said, "So this is your purpose."
"My purpose has always been clear." Harold shrugged.
Cole, the center of public opinion among the three, has been wandering away from the world. As the confrontation between Harold and Tinari intensifies, her mood changes from being moved to being nervous.
"I didn't expect that you all take Cole's matter so seriously. Since no decision can be made for the time being, we should first find a suitable place for Cole to live." Seno suggested.
"Well... current research shows that the rainforest has a certain inhibitory effect on the condition of patients with magic scale disease, but not every area of the rainforest has this special effect.
First, we should find a suitable place for Cole to live, and then decide who will be her teacher based on the location of the area and Cole's wishes. Is that okay?" Tinari asked Harold.
Harold nodded: "Of course, Cole's safety comes first."
He walked over to Cole and said with a low voice, "If you pass by my institute soon, would you like to come and see the dancing flowers?"
"Is it okay?" Cole's eyes lit up instantly.
Don't think about your broken flower! Tinari shouted in his heart.
After the four reached a consensus, they first let Cole eat something in the residential area and rest for two hours to replenish his energy. During this time, Tinari said to Cole:
"Cole, if you would rather let Harold guide you, then remember, just call him 'Master' verbally, and do not agree to a written teacher-student relationship with him."
"Mr. Tinari, why do you say that?" Cole asked in confusion.
Tinari shook his head and said helplessly: "You will know when you visit his research institute. You really want to see that, right? The dancing flower."
Cole nodded hesitantly.
"Then let's go and have a look," Tinari said with a smile, "I hope the journey will make you feel better. What Harold said is true. The mentality does have a great impact on the condition."
【Harold (character evaluation)
Cole (about Harold...):
Eh? Master Harold? Um... Very early on, when I first came to Xumi, Master Tinari told me, "Don't sign a written teacher-student relationship with him."
It was a long time later that I understood why Master Tinari said that... Although I was already a student of Mr. Haroldt at that time, it was Haroldt's request. He had profound knowledge and taught me a lot, and I admired him very much... In fact, he was not as scary as Master Tinari thought.
Yes, of course it's true! Except for the lack of salary... But I don't have anything special I want to buy. The food provided by Master Harold tastes very good. After I recover, I can do more work. I am the owner of the Eye of God, and I am the strongest in terms of physical strength.
...Master Harold is always busy, busy with research, busy with writing papers, and of course guiding students - besides me, the students include Radu, Murtada...
Miss Deshia should be one of them. She went back to the desert. What a pity. I really liked her, but she had more important things to do there... Really? Did you see her in the desert? Wow! Can you tell me about her if you have time?
...Master Harold and Master Tinari both participated in the operation to save the little lucky grass king. I heard that. Yeah, I was shocked when I first heard it, but this is what they would do. It feels very cool! They are all so strong. I hope I can become strong soon.
Um, did I just say something that the protagonist of Inazuma's light novel would say? Ah... How embarrassing. Yesterday, I read the novel that Master Tinari gave me, and I couldn't help but...】
