Game time AM07:06
Free City, No Night Zone Wanderer Hostel, 1st floor Hall
“Gui’an, Mr. Junwu.”
The girl with short light blond shoulder-length hair and a delicate and sweet appearance gracefully saluted the half-elf man behind the counter. Then she took out a golden voucher from her pocket and placed it on the counter. She smiled gently and peacefully: "Yes." Please send a message to tell sir that the second batch of funds from the sponsor has been received."
Jun Wu casually picked up the gold coin chamber of commerce ticket, glanced at it, and supported his with the palm of his hand. Looking at the flat gold mirror, he raised his eyebrows and asked: "Well, I have already sent the message, but... what does it mean?"
Put the voucher worth 20,000 gold coins back on the counter. In the eyes of countless people, Boss Jun looked at the girl with calm eyes.
"It doesn't mean anything, just a little bit of insignificant gratitude."
The girl with a clean temperament smiled sweetly and said softly: "You are a good friend of sir, and you have always been with us everywhere. Although he doesn’t say these things in words, he always thinks about them in his heart.”
Jun Wu burst out laughing, and then he hid behind the counter, covering his mouth and trembling with joy for a long time. It is conceivable that if it weren't for the fact that there were already many customers in the store, he would You might even make your throat go hoarse from laughing.
The girl standing in front of the counter just continued to smile calmly, without any reaction to the former's exaggerated laughter.
In this way, Jun Wu laughed for two minutes, then he stood up straight again while rubbing the corners of his mouth, and said narrowly to the girl in front of him: "Miss Ai, do you know You almost made me laugh so hard?”
“Mr. Jun Wu has a great sense of humor.”
Although he is not named in the [Harlequin Card], he seems to be now. Sun Priest Ai Vanye, who became the organization's spokesman for the Free City, blinked and laughed in agreement.
"No, no, no, it's not me who has a sense of humor."
Jun Wu immediately shook his head, waving his hands desperately and said with a smile: "It's you, Miss Ai, if nothing else, Tan Don’t miss my words, do you believe it?”
Unexpectedly, the girl nodded without hesitation and continued to smile: “That’s natural.”
“Uh. ..."
Jun Wu was immediately stunned and said in astonishment: "Don't tell me that this 'gratitude' was given to me by his instructions."
"You can say that."
Xiao Ai continued to nod and said in her usual quiet and gentle voice: "Although from an objective point of view, this is a decision I made myself, since Mr. The City of Freedom is temporarily in my charge, and you were introduced to me before. , then at this moment I am enough to represent the will of the gentleman. The best proof is that he did not specifically ask me not to do this."
Jun Wu stared at the girl's clear eyes for a while, then. Reluctantly, he pressed his hand on the gold coin chamber of commerce certificate worth twenty thousand gold coins. Above: "As promised in advance, although I can accept your 'gratitude', you must know that even without this link, the cooperative relationship between Tan Mo and I is still very strong. From another perspective, if there is What can break the cooperation between us is not just 20,000 Gold coins can make me change my mind, understand?"
In the end, Xiao Ai just said with a relaxed face: "The matter between you and your husband is not something that people like us can comment on."
“Oh, that sounds nice.”
Jun Wu shook his head, put away the voucher on the counter, and glanced at Xiao Ai: "Now you don't need to use the 'sir's intention' as an excuse just now."
Xiao Ai just said Smiling without saying a word.
“You kid, you should be of school age now, right?”
Jun Wu, who is also a student outside the game, leaned on the counter with his arms folded, facing the man in front of him He is obviously only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the childishness on his face has not yet faded, but it has The girl, who has taken charge of her own business in every sense of the word, said: "Is it appropriate to work under that guy and deal with unscrupulous people like us every day? Do you want me to talk to that guy Tan Mo and let you..."
“It’s okay, Mr. Junwu.”
Xiao Ai gently interrupted the other party, and said in a soft but extremely firm tone: "I always think that it is my honor to serve you, and it is also my destiny."
Jun Wu was not surprised either, but While touching the tip of his nose, he nodded and said: "Okay, okay, I know that I am really nosy, and everyone can see that you are I sincerely want to follow him."
"But..."
Xiao Ai suddenly smiled and said with a wink: "If I want to retire earlier in a few years, When the time comes, I’ll ask Mr. Jun Wu to give me a nice word.”
“This person is so sophisticated... tsk tsk”
Jun Wu, who thought he was already precocious enough, smacked his lips and then changed the subject: "You must have heard that a tavern in Erlin District was razed to the ground last night."
Xiao Ai immediately realized that Mr. Jun Wu planned to provide him with some people He immediately nodded vigorously and said: "Well, although I am not as well-informed as you, I also got the news this morning."
"It belongs to a secret organization under the Wealth Sect, although I understand Not many, but the one who did it yesterday 100% It’s the Saint of Fortune who has just been dealt a huge blow by you and is probably very angry.”
Jun Wu said calmly while mixing a can of juice himself. "Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with the internal problems of the Wealth Church. There is no room for intervention. After all, the two BUFFs of 'Religion' and 'Gray Zone' are basically equivalent to stones in the pit, but...hey, Xiao Liu, help me get some ice cubes."
"I'll do it, Sister Liu Mu, keep busy."
Xiao Ai immediately went behind the counter, and while letting Yu Ying take a temporary 'vacation', the intern Liu Mu Qinkobel, who was so busy every day, continued to entertain the guests, while using a not very skillful but deft movement to get out of the wine cabinet. middle He took out a bowl of finely crushed ice cubes and handed it to Jun Wu: "Here you go."
"Thank you, and bring me a bottle of lime juice and two dragon snake fruits. Oh, by the way, there are also There are silver scissors. There is no way to remove the tail of the Dragon Snake Fruit. "Put in the wine."
Jun Wu was not polite. After taking the ice cubes, he fiddled with the shaker and casually ordered: "The lime juice is put in a black silver-bottomed porcelain bottle. As for dragon snake fruit. , the white basket at the back is full of silver Go ask Crowe for the scissors."
"Okay, Mr. Junwu."
Xiao Ai immediately nodded obediently and picked up a spare apron from Yuying from under the counter. Then he started to get busy.
Perhaps it's because I have been dealing with various documents at Keyworth Manor almost every day recently that would give ordinary people a headache just looking at them. When bundled into a pile, they are even taller than themselves. To Yuying and his ilk, this kind of document is nothing more than a pile of documents. Suffering work is a special experience for Xiao Ai. Even if it is just a job like helping to get some materials and props, it is difficult for people to find it novel, but it makes her nerves that have been tense for who knows how long rarely relax. There was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
“…”
Even Jun Wu failed to detect his whereabouts. Cole, who blended in so naturally into the crowd, immediately retracted his words after the girl unconsciously raised the corner of her mouth. After taking half a step, he gave up the idea of helping out on behalf of Xiao Ai. Although in Cole Shuren's eyes, he is far more suitable for physical work than Xiao Ai, he also knows that sitting behind the sandalwood table and dealing with those documents is not an easy job, so even though it is definitely far away from those things for him, The parchment full of intrigues should be kept as far away as possible, but occasionally moving around might not be a bad thing for Xiao Ai.
[Speaking of which, has she not been able to sleep well recently... She just received the allowance before. It would be better to go to the Thieves Guild to buy two pieces of quality after work in the evening. The beeswax is ready, and then let Miss Liz put it into the incense burner in Xiao Ai's room when she goes to the street committee with the Countess tomorrow. 】
While quietly watching Xiao Ai's busy figure in the corner, Cole, who became Xiao Ai's personal guard after Mu Xuejian temporarily left the Free City, secretly made up his mind.
He knew very well that his best friend, who was originally as pure as a blank sheet of paper and had a timid and introverted personality, did not force himself. In fact, Ai Fanye had already proven through actions that he was qualified to replace their friend who was always timid and introverted. An elusive gentleman makes a move on the chessboard.
Unlike me who never made any progress, the girl who would only hide behind Radha and Lorna and sniffle even if she was wronged had gone too far without even realizing it.
[If my use value to my husband is five, then Xiao Ai must be at least ninety, haha, thinking about it this way, it’s really a bit of a shock~]
Cole watched the familiar figure happily walking into the kitchen with soft eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Of course, it was impossible for him to be jealous of the girl who left Pato City with him and followed her husband into the dark side of the world. In fact, he didn't even envy her.
Cole just felt a little distressed, because that girl could have forgotten all that and lived a stable and happy life. He knew that if he was the only person who left his husband that day, then Cole at this moment ·Shurun will definitely try his best to let Ai Fanye live a carefree life.
In fact, in addition to the necessary savings, Cole will send his 'salary' to his uncle in Pato City through different channels every once in a while, and occasionally attach a letter or two from home.
Cole has always insisted that his home is with his husband, and the Rye Hotel in the southern district of Pato City is his home.
[I didn’t expect that my uncle and Ms. Lei Duo would officially get married... I don’t know if I can go back then. It would be great if I could take Xiao Ai and my husband back with me. 】
Recalling the letter that passed into his hands a few days ago, Cole's lips also slightly raised. Although his Uncle Bayes said in the letter that he was forced to take responsibility, he also said that if Ms. Ledo hadn't used There was no way he would surrender after the magic hung him on the beam for two days and two nights, but the young man could still detect the happiness lingering between the lines.
Although at first glance it seems that we are no longer in the same world, home is actually always there.
However... although there will definitely be a place for Cole in Bayes and Ledo's 'new home', the meaning is different after all.
Cole blinked in a daze, and his thoughts gradually became trance-like.
He was thinking about 'his' home, not Uncle Bayes, Ms. Ledo and his own home, but 'his' home.
There is no doubt that that 'home' will be somewhere very close to Mr., and there should be a training room that can prepare medicines and sort information, a warehouse filled with food (and maybe a little wine), and a Most of the rooms will be frequently changed furnishings. One is located on the trapdoor. The secret room under the door, a warm fireplace, a hostess——
[Rona...]
Cole narrowed his eyes slightly, just like every time when longing arose in the past, memory The familiar figure once again clearly appeared in my mind.
However, what is clear is only her figure, but her face is...somewhat blurry for some reason.
……
"Long time no see, Ms. Fanye."
Crow, who was busy in the kitchen, said hello to the girl who just walked in without looking back. While pruning half a bundle of side dishes that looked like bamboo shoots, Asked: "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Good morning, Mr. Crowe, Junwu boss asked me to get the silver scissors."
Xiao Ai blinked. , asked with some curiosity: "But why did you know that the person who came in was me?"
"Because I have always been connected to the vision of many 'friends' at the same time during this period. Since the last time Yuying's The apron... Oh, yes, it's the one you're wearing. Ever since that thing was almost taken away by a perverted customer, I've been playing the role of... a snake with an elephant head."
Crowe shrugged and said in a brisk tone: "Although it is only voluntary labor, considering Yu Ying and Liu Mu, I still accepted this job, just in time to exercise myself. Always, if you are in the hotel I found a few ravens in some corners, please don't worry about it, they are all good children and they love to be clean."
Xiao Ai smiled, nodded vigorously and said: "Okay, Gram. Mr. Luo, I will remember to bring snacks to those good children when I come next time.”
“I am using the silver scissors. You can sit over there and wait for two minutes.”
Crow turned his head and gave little Abby a thumbs up, and then he patted his forehead lightly as if he suddenly remembered something, and said with a narrow smile: "By the way, there is a guest who has not mentioned it since you came into the hotel. Look away from your face. If you mind, I can help you get rid of him later."
When Xiao Ai heard this, he frowned subconsciously: "This... should affect the business. Right? ”
"I don't think so. After all, that person is not a qualified consumer at first glance."
"Then please leave it to Mr. Crowe. To be honest, I am different from Miss Yuying. We have never been very good at it." Good at dealing with that kind of people."
"No problem, Mr. Cole. Although my brother has made a lot of progress recently, I can still take care of him casually."
"Ah! Mr. Crow, is the person you are talking about..."
"Hahahaha, as you. bodyguard, he is obviously a bit too dedicated.”
"Mr. Crowe... is really evil-minded."
"He who approaches ink is evil. Anyway, I will give him to him soon..."
"Mr. Crowe!"
"Just a joke~ Just a joke~"
