Game Time AM00:47
Free City, Keyworth Manor Side Building, Second Floor, Lounge
“Thank you , Cole.”
Carefully took the drink from his friend with a smile. The girl with light blond shoulder-length hair and a delicate and sweet appearance narrowed her eyes and leaned on the back of the chair. She let herself sink into the soft seat while gently sniffing the steaming cup of soothing tea in her hand, with a hint of comfort at the corner of her mouth. The arc: "However, I remember that what I want is Xingshen Coco."
Tan Mo's follower, Cole Schulun, who was dressed in a handsome black butler's uniform, smiled at the same time as his friend in the chair, and then pretended to bow and said with a smile: "I'm so sorry, Dear Van Ye Madam, it’s just that Mr. Cholera’s Xingshen cocoa is no longer in stock, so after thinking about it, I finally chose the Soothing Tea, which is also suitable for your taste, but the ingredients are relatively soft.”
"Is there such a possibility..."
Tan Mo's follower, [Harlequin Card]'s absolute talker in the Free City, 'Pious Sun Priest' Ai Fanye said elegantly Using a silver spoon to stir the hot drink in front of him, which would put him at a disadvantage when fighting fatigue, he said softly: "There are two full boxes of [Awakening Cocoa] in the warehouse underground in the side hall?"
“What!”
Colon’s eyes suddenly widened and he said in shock: “This is happening!?”
"You, you, you."
Xiao Ai glanced at his friend, who was born in Pato City as well as himself. There was a hint of cunning hidden behind the seemingly panicked eyes, and he took a shallow bite of the food specially made to suit his own taste. Soothing tea with ginger, milk and raw brown sugar, he breathed a sigh of satisfaction: "I haven't seen any other progress, but there are more and more clever ideas than when we were young."
"It's because there is nothing. There is no other progress, so I thought that I must at least improve on the clever ideas.”
Because it is not a public place now, and it is a break for both of them, so they know very well that the other party does not like it. Cole, who would let himself stand, naturally sat opposite Xiao Ai and said sincerely: "Thank you for your affirmation."
"Hmm."
Xiao Ai, who was speechless by Cole's sincerity, pursed her lips and remained silent for a while before wrinkling her nose and muttering: "If it had been a while ago, what I said just now would have been enough for you to sleep for half a month. It’s hard to sleep!”
Cole raised his lips slightly and shook his head: “It’s a pity that after following Mr. , I have been through too many difficulties and met too many excellent people, but it was not until recently that I discovered that if a better person appeared, I would be depressed, self-pitying, and unable to sleep well for a period of time. , I’m afraid it will be Miss Liz who helps you find [Awakening Coco] in the future.”
Xiao Ai looked away and hummed: "That's just right, at least Miss Liz won't change the drink I want to drink on her own initiative!"
"But what you need now is not [Awakening Cocoa] "
Cole took out a delicate pocket watch from his pocket and said gently while playing with it. : “Of course, the most important reason is that I don’t think my husband has that much time to do ideological work for me, so even if the process is a little uncomfortable, I have to get out of the morbid thinking in the past and face it. I can’t be you, nor can I be Ms. Mu Xuejian’s reality.”
Because he knew exactly what the other party was referring to, Xiao Ai did not make any unnecessary comfort. He just smiled softly and said: "This is indeed not easy. After all, when we were still in Pato City, you were always ours." The best among these people are...well..."
"Only Lorna and Dave can overpower me in every aspect in that small college."
Note Cole, who noticed that Xiao Ai was speechless, took over the conversation considerately and shrugged: "And the former seems to have no awareness of it, as if I am the one who performed better."
"Sorry. "
Xiao Ai lowered his eyes, met his own eyes reflected in the silver spoon, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that when we are alone, it is easy for me to think of the past. "
Cole looked at the pocket watch in his hand and said calmly: "I don't think there is anything to be sorry for. After all, Dave has received the punishment he deserves. As for Lorna... I believe that Sir will do what he thinks is reasonable." I'm doing my best."
"Of course."
Xiao Ai nodded hard and said sternly in a slightly louder voice than usual: "Lona's soul has been preserved. Very complete, and sir's good friend, Mr. Winter, whom I mentioned to you before, is a very outstanding necromancer, and according to some information from my side, he seems to have been successfully 'awakened' Four dead, so Lorna... will be fine."
"That's right, so we just have to trust Mr. and his friends."
Cole's snap. ' He closed his pocket watch with a sound, and then looked up at Xiao Ai with a serious expression: "And as of now, you haven't slept for more than thirty hours."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ai immediately leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes tightly and said in a very cute tone: "It's time to close it now!"
"Your room is upstairs."
Cole Unmoved, he just reminded calmly: "The bed there is more suitable for sleeping than the chair here, and there are still four full hours until the time you and the guest have agreed to meet."
Xiao Ai didn't respond, and then he huddled in the chair and snored slightly.
“Alas.”
A moment later, a helpless sigh sounded from the fireplace, and then Xiao Ai felt warm on his body. It was Cole's body temperature and the touch of his deacon's uniform coat.
Then there was an almost inaudible sound of footsteps, and a few seconds later there was a faint sound of opening and closing the door.
The corner of Ai Vanye's mouth raised a slight arc. She knew that it was Cole's 'practice time' now, so if nothing else happened, the latter would arrive at the training underground in the main hall in about five minutes. On the field, he fought with the 'training dummy' created by Mr. Cholera in his spare time. Considering that he had a 'meeting' four hours later, he would be back here in about one hundred and fifty minutes, and during this period During the time——
I can probably work for about two hours. Although I will miss some rest time, considering that [Harlequin Card] needs to establish a foothold in the Free City as soon as possible, and the Kevos family is gradually establishing itself in the Bay. Having established a firm foothold in the Lajie Street Committee, it would be better for me to use more brains to consolidate the situation.
You must know that the gentleman has super-standard connections such as [Angel of Death], [Saint of Fortune], [Wanderer Hotel], and [Harlequin Card] if you want to use it in an honest way. The current level of influence would be far from enough if he were to help but not be restrained. Therefore, even if it was to allow his husband to worry less when he came back, Xiao Ai felt that he had to work harder during this period.
After all, although Lesa, Cholera, Liz and others are excellent, they lack the capital to survive in the 'Devil's Cave' of the Free City. As for Cole...
If he takes the initiative while getting things done, If you ask, sir, you will definitely pay more attention to Lorna's matter!
Cole will be happy too.
So——
“Work hard!”
Ai Fanye, who gently patted his cheek and stopped pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes in high spirits, and then saw——
"Hi."
Cole, who was sitting opposite, raised his hand to greet her kindly and praised: "Worker You’re working really hard!”
“Ah!”
Xiao Ai instinctively shrank back in the chair and regained consciousness. He said with a slight blush: "What a coincidence... Cole."
"That's right."
Cole nodded with a smile, and then made a gesture of invitation. No matter his movements, demeanor or tone, he was as impeccable as a senior deacon who has been in the industry for hundreds of years. , said: "Then, please allow me to take you upstairs to rest."
Xiao Ai blinked innocently: "But I'm not tired."
"There is a kind of tiredness that makes me feel that you are tired."
Cole stared at Xiao Ai and said in an unquestionable tone: "And it is not working time now, so even if you have more authority than me Gao, I can also choose to use my status as 'friend' or 'fellow' to force you to rest." Xiao Ai pursed her lips and still tried to resist: "But I..."
"You didn't even notice that I didn't really leave, which is enough to prove that your concentration and mental power are far below normal."
Cole said crisply He interrupted Xiao Ai and said sternly: "And I don't think Mr. will assign you such a heavy and intensive work, so it's useless even if you use Mr.'s words to pressure me."
Just about to start talking. Xiao Ai, who was under the banner of Mo Tan, immediately closed his mouth obediently, holding the cup of soothing tea and pouted and stopped talking.
“Alas.”
Seeing the non-violent and non-cooperative look of the other party, Cole sighed helplessly and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I don't let you work hard, it's just that you are neither a blood seeker like Ms. Lesa, nor a gentleman and cholera." A foreigner like Mr. who doesn’t need rest will delay his work if he is really exhausted.”
Xiao Ai nodded meekly, but still had no intention of leaving the chair and going back to the room to sleep.
But Cole stood quietly in front of her, obviously not ready to make concessions.
"I know."
Finally, Xiao Ai, who always has the upper hand, took the lead to 'admit defeat' this time and muttered in a low voice: "Then you stay here and chat with me for a while. ”
Cole twitched the corner of his mouth and said dryly: "I asked you..."
"I know."
Xiao Ai interrupted Cole softly and shrugged: " But tonight’s guest is special, or I don’t think he is necessarily a rule-abiding person, so I can't take a complete rest until the meeting is completed."
Cole frowned, and finally chose not to talk too much about the 'business'. He just said in a deep voice: "But your current condition is not good. ”
“I have a way”
Xiao Ai showed a tired and beautiful smile, and said meaningfully: "Magic is very profound!"
"You..."
Cole gritted his teeth and finally agreed. Choosing to compromise, he sat back down and said in a helpless tone. Said: "Okay, then I will chat with you and talk about something that can relax you."
"Yeah!"
Xiao Ai nodded happily He nodded and asked curiously: "So what should we talk about?"
"I'm only responsible for chatting."
Cole rolled his eyes at Xiao Ai angrily, and said in a bad tone: "You come up with the topic."
Xiao Ai smiled and then said He closed his eyes as he had just pretended to sleep, and said lazily: "I found that Mr. is still very good to us."
Cole nodded slightly, smiled and echoed: "That's natural, Mr. He has always taken good care of us. Putting aside you first, if it weren’t for Mr.’s care, a person like me, who is only qualified, wouldn’t be here to urge the [Harlequin Card] general manager of the Free City to take a rest. I’m afraid even this organization I don’t deserve to hear my name.”
“This is too much.”
Xiao Ai raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said softly: "In my opinion, Cole, even if you are not taken care of by your husband, you are still more than enough to be a three of diamonds or a four of spades."
Cole touched it Touching the tip of his nose, he said with a subtle expression: "I just thought you were complimenting me."
"It's just a joke, sir, you won't get the wrong person."
Xiao Ai Qu Qi She stretched out her legs, lying on her side on a chair that was extra large for her, holding the deacon's coat that the other party had just put on her body, and said softly: "If it weren't for you to do it, he would never do it. I will take care of you like this."
Cole smiled casually and shook his head: "I am responsible for chatting and relaxing with you, not asking you to help with psychological counseling."
"Okay, okay, let me tell you how much your husband takes care of me."
Xiao Ai meekly changed the topic and said in a slightly lower voice than usual: "You should know that your husband has always cared about me. Are you interested in 'religion' and 'gods'? And I am a cleric who almost regards my husband as a god who provides us with salvation in times of crisis, and is willing to let him drive and send me."
"Yes, I know."
Cole nodded slightly and quietly hid his hands that were slightly clenched due to nervousness at his sides.
"Then you should also know that Mr. Sir has many... um... original ideas about our religious field. It is not convenient for a cleric like me to talk about it, or even think about it."
Perhaps because he had the same concerns as Cole, Xiao Ai paused several times carefully before he managed to express what he wanted to express: "But a few months ago, Mr. Ai was very close to turning me into a A heretic with faith, but in the end... he pulled me out and made me a bit special, but not that special. A special priest."
"A little special?"
"Hmm, a little special."
"What is special?"
>"Probably...although my faith is still firm, it is not so pure."
"Hey!"
"Don't worry, these are not blasphemous words."
"Huh?"
"In other words, from my current perspective , This is not a blasphemous word.”
“What perspective?”
"If you say so, the light hypnosis and autosuggestion to maintain the angle of view may be ineffective."
"Shut up."
"Hmm~"
