Chapter 1707


    “Sorry for the bother” Larkin said


    The monk wore aplex expression on his face.


    After a moment of silence, he asked, “How’ve you been?”


    “Thanks for asking. I’m great. Larkin paused slightly. “How about my teacher…?”


    “Much better.”


    “That’s good.” Larkin smiled, letting out a soft sigh. “You should go on with your stuff, we’ll be taking


    off.”


    “But meals will be served soon in the cafeterial Why not stay and eat before you go?” The monk


    stopped them as they were about to leave. “Oh yeah, I’m starving” Erica quickly chimed in


    So there they went, Larkin and Erica, heading off to the cafeteria.


    Along the way, they ran into a few visitors and some very cheerful nuns.


    Looking at them, Erica could almost picture the carefree days Larkin had spent here


    “I must’ve owed you something in my past life, you saved me and brought trouble upon yourself.” Erica


    murmured.


    if Larkin hadn’t left the monastery, if he was still here living a monastic life, he wouldn’t have so many


    troubles now. “Nonsense.” Larkin squeezed her hand, “Leaving the monastery was my own choice.


    Don’t put that on yourself” Enca didn’t respond


    Upon reaching the cafeteria, both Erica and Larkin got some food.


    They found a corner and started eating.


    To be honest, Erica now understood why Larkin didn’t like the cafeteria food when he was a kid.


    It was pretty dreadful.


    “Looks like they still haven’t changed the cook” Larkin took a bite and chuckled helplessly


    Seeing Larkinugh, Enca felt a bit happier.

    “So, I’m tasting your childhood, huh?” she asked,


    Larkinughed even harder


    “What’s with all these weird thoughts in your head?”


    “Don’t you like them?” Enca blinked her big eyes.


    Larkin doted on her, nodding. “I do”


    Larkin seemed to have anticipated the situation, he got very little food


    They chatted while eating, and soon finished off their meals.


    Erica noticed volunteers cleaning up and washing dishes


    She volunteered to help


    Larkin didn’t stop her but joined in.


    After they were done, Erica sat down with the volunteers-drinking water and inquiring about how to stay


    on as a long term volunteer.


    Upon hearing this, Larkin politely greeted the volunteers and pulled Erica aside.


    “Do you want to volunteer?”


    “Why not stay a few more days? The monastery isn’t that big, we might run into him Enca whispered to


    him, her eyes downcast


    Larkin didn’t want to force his teacher to meet him.


    Yet he felt he owed the old man.


    If he left with regrets, Erica wouldn’t be content, even if Larkin didn’t mind.


    “We won’t onlye this once” Larkin gently stroked Erica’s cheek, “We’ll visit often, until the my


    teacher is ready to see me?


    “Really?”


    Enca’s eyes lit up instantly


    “Men hmm “Larkin nodded, “So, do you still want to volunteer?”


    “Of course!” Erica agreed instantly, “I don’t have anywhere particr to go in the next few days anyway,


    so I’ll stay here. You can show me around, share some of your childhood stories with me. How does


    that sound?”
