Chapter 650 Percival: Help me, Mr. Villette
In Villette's office, sunlight shone through the window onto the desk.
Narvelette was sitting behind the desk, concentrating on dealing with a pile of official documents.
Suddenly, the sound of a door opening broke the silence in the room.
Villette raised her head almost subconsciously and looked quickly towards the door.
Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng walked in one after another, and their figures appeared in Villette's sight.
Villette looked puzzled. What brought these three people here? Could it be that Funina had bankrupted them and was here to claim reimbursement?
It's only been a few days, and Funina is eating so much? Why haven't I seen this before?
Paimon didn't wait for Violet to speak, and said first: "Violet, we came here this time because we need your help with a very urgent matter."
"Oh? What's the matter that brings you here in such a hurry?" asked Villette with interest.
Paimon took a deep breath and continued, "A Meilushin is missing..."
Before he finished his words, there was a crisp "crack" sound, and the feather pen that Villette was holding tightly in his hand broke.
His face suddenly turned gloomy, but he still pretended to be calm and asked, "What do you mean someone kidnapped Meilushin? How audacious! Tell me the exact location and time of the kidnapping. I will handle this case myself!"
I don't know how Villette thought that Melusine was missing and was kidnapped; maybe he thought that Melusine could not be missing, and the only explanation for her disappearance was that she was kidnapped!
Paimon was frightened by Navillatte's murderous look. She hurriedly stretched out her hands and waved them in the air, trying to calm Navillatte down first.
"Hey, don't get excited yet, let me explain the situation to you first."
Then, Paimon pulled out "Persif" who was hiding behind Ying, and began to explain in detail to Villette.
"This Meilushin, somehow got lost on Ilie Island."
"When we found her, she could barely speak! We had no choice but to bring her here. I hope you can help and check if she is injured or in any other condition."
At this moment, Villette's eyes fell on the slightly strange Melusin in front of her.
Surprisingly, his expression was not as puzzled as when Finina saw her before. Instead, he seemed very calm and composed, as if he had known her for a long time.
At this moment, Persif, who was originally a little timid, suddenly became extremely excited when she saw Villette, and ran towards him quickly in small steps.
"Ilie! Melusine!" Persif shouted as she ran.
Seeing this, Paimon pointed at Percival and continued to say to Violet, "Look, she keeps repeating the words 'Melucin' and 'Percival'. She doesn't really know how to express herself with words."
"We feared she was cursed, and that is why we hastened to bring her to you, that you might have a good look at her."
Persif, standing in front of Villette, was like an innocent child, trying to open her arms for a hug.
"That visitor! Percival!"
That Villette bent down slightly and gazed at the "Persif" in front of her with gentle eyes.
Then he slowly squatted down, stretched out his right hand, gently stroked her head, and asked softly: "Oh, don't worry, I can understand every word you say. Tell me, what is the matter that makes you want to come to me in such a hurry?"
Persif looked a little anxious. She waved her hands eagerly and tried to convey her intentions to Navelette through various gestures and expressions.
"Ilie, water, pollution! Meluseen!" Although these words sounded quite strange to outsiders, Violet was able to communicate with Persif without any obstacles and quickly understood what she wanted to express.
"I see. What you mean is that the lake on Ilie Island is seriously polluted, and you can't solve the problem by yourself, so you are urgently looking for help."
"You are just anxious and don't know what to do because you can't speak fluently yet, right?"
Hearing that Villette had accurately expressed what she was thinking, Persif nodded repeatedly and repeated it over and over again.
"Percival! Percival!"
Seeing this, Villette smiled slightly and continued to interpret Persif's words that had not yet been fully expressed.
"Then, today you met some kind people. You wanted to ask them for help, but they brought you to me. So now do you want me to help you?"
Persif nodded again, and then she reached into the inside pocket of her clothes.
After a while, she carefully took out a small and exquisite bottle.
Percival held the bottle tightly in her hand, looked at Violet firmly, and said softly: "Percival! 'The visitor'! Ilie! Water! Melusine!"
Seeing this, Violet reached out and took the small bottle handed to her by Persif.
He unscrewed the bottle cap, then put his nose close to the bottle mouth and carefully sniffed the smell coming from the water in the bottle.
The moment he smelled the strange smell, Villette's expression suddenly became solemn.
Then he placed the small bottle of contaminated water on the desk beside him, and at the same time reached out a hand and gently stroked Persif's head to comfort her.
"Okay, I understand the situation. How about this, I'll take a day off today and deal with this matter myself, what do you think?" Villette looked at Persif with a concerned look.
However, when she heard that Villette wanted to ask for leave, Persif hurriedly shook her head and said, "Melushin!"
Villette understood what Persif meant and replied with a smile, "Oh? You mean, you're worried that it will delay my work. If it's just a small matter, I can send someone else to solve it..."
"No, since the problem is so urgent, and you discovered it and told me about it, it would be better for me to do it myself. Treating water pollution doesn't sound like a very troublesome thing."
After hearing what Navillatte said, Persif couldn't help but open her arms and hug Navillatte tightly.
"That visitor, Percival!"
Looking at Navelette communicating freely with Percival, Paimon widened his eyes, moved closer with curiosity, and couldn't help but ask.
"Villatte, you can actually understand what this 'Melushin' says? It's amazing!"
That Villette smiled and explained patiently.
"Well, in most cases, it's understandable."
"After all, as long as we can carefully experience the changes in the speaker's tone and combine it with the information conveyed by body movements, it is not particularly difficult to understand the meaning of language."
Paimon nodded as if he understood, mumbling something.
"I see... But it still sounds so mysterious and complicated..."
After saying that, he blinked his big eyes, observed Persif, and tried to talk to her.
But unfortunately, Paimon still didn't understand.
……
At this time, while writing a note for leave, Villette suddenly raised his head and looked at Shao Yun beside him, and asked softly: "By the way, Mr. Shao Yun, I just have a question to ask you."
Shao Yun was surprised to hear Villette asking him a question. He quickly responded, "Wow, what's wrong, Mr. Villette?"
Villette paused for a moment, carefully choosing her words, and then slowly asked, "It's about Ms. Funina. I wonder how she's been doing recently?"
Upon hearing this, Shao Yun began to try hard to recall what happened to Funina in the past few days.
After thinking for a while, he scratched his head and answered hesitantly: "Well...how should I put it? Overall, it should be pretty good."
"At least there is no need to worry about food, clothing and daily necessities, but as for the specific details, I really can't figure out how to describe them accurately..."
"By the way, she came with us, but she didn't want to come in and see you, so she was waiting outside the office with Clorinde."
At this moment, Shao Yun reached into his waist bag again and quickly took out a piece of paper.
"Oh, I almost forgot, here is the bill for Funina's consumption over the past few days!" After saying that, he handed the handwritten bill to Villette.
That Villette reached out and took the bill that Shao Yun handed over. When his eyes fell on it, the expression on his face suddenly became a little strange.
“This handwritten bill…”
Seeing this, Shao Yun was afraid that Villette would not admit it.
"What's wrong? Your Fu Nina eats and drinks my mother's food. If I don't write the bill by hand, do you want me to buy a typewriter to write the bill?"
That Villette did not respond to Shao Yun's words, but continued to stare at the handwritten bill in his hand carefully.
After a while, he raised his head, shook his head at Shao Yun, and slowly commented: "It's not that I don't admit it, but your handwriting... looks like it was written by a child, crooked and a little hard to recognize."
To put it nicely, your handwriting is comparable to that of Teacher Zhenyu (Xingqiu)!
When Paimon heard this, he felt extremely offended and couldn't help but puff up his cheeks in anger.
"Well……"
Shao Yun noticed Paimeng's reaction, and quickly pointed at her, explaining to Navilette: "Actually, this bill was not written by me. It was Paimeng's masterpiece."
"So it's not surprising that the handwriting looks like it was written by a child..."
After listening to Shao Yun's explanation, Villette didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Okay, in that case, I will reimburse you all the expenses within three working days, please rest assured."
When Shao Yun heard Villette say "three days", he said with some post-traumatic stress syndrome: "Three days? Why did I think of something bad..."
