Volume 1: Childhood, Chapter 7, The So-Called Way of the Other......
"Of course. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When these two words came out of my mouth, Alice's delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly. She's really scared of me now, of course, this 'fear' is different from the other sense of 'fear', she's just afraid that I will propose something that she can't complete, because this is really embarrassing for a self-proclaimed 'all-powerful' maid, after all, since they all claim to be 'all-powerful', but there are still tasks that can't be completed, isn't it laughable?
Alice looked at this face that she felt extremely hateful no matter how she looked at it, and while she was frightened of the next 'mission', she complained viciously in her heart: "Why is this bastard so good at tormenting people? Am I just scaring you when you get up? Can I give me a whole bunch of tasks that I can't do at all? It's so annoying." I thought so, but Alice didn't dare to say it verbally, so she still said the same sentence: "What is the task this time?"
I naturally noticed Alice's trembling just now, which made me more deeply aware of the arduousness of Fang Cai's 'task', and I couldn't help but sigh lightly in my heart: "It seems that it is not easy to trick Alice into bed...... "By the way, my 'trick into bed' is just to let Alice sleep with me and Lux, but there are no other inexplicable thoughts, so please don't think crookedly."
So let's get back to business.
"This is a very difficult task. β
My expression became extremely serious again, even more serious than the previous two times, which made Alice a little panicked when she saw me like this.
"This guy isn't going to make any more excessive demands, is he?"
Alice no longer wants to use the word 'task' to annotate the request of a certain bastard, because the request of a certain bastard just now really makes her deeply aware of her own shortcomings.
"After much deliberation and discussion with Lux, both he and I decided that it was necessary to establish an intelligence organization for the family that would specifically target military dynamics. β
Hearing me say this, Alice froze.
She thought that I would make some more excessive requests, such as sleeping with them more than sleeping together, but she didn't expect that when I opened my mouth, it would be such a 'serious remark'. That's right, this sentence sounds really serious to Alice's ears, at least it is much more 'serious' than the words "take some snacks and milk tea" or "wait for me to take a nap with Lux~".
"It's just serious to another level. β
Alice, who was thinking like this, looked quite weird. At first glance it looked like a sigh of relief, at second it looked like it was laughing, and at third glance it looked more like crying...... Well, let's just assume she's crying. Because her current mood is enough to describe in one sentence: "What is this...... Let me die. "Look, the confident Alice has been tossed by some bastard to the point of collapse.
Alice's face was really 'ugly', and Lux, who was sitting next to me, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh when she saw Alice's appearance. Seriously, since I came to the Klein Mansion, the number of times Alice's face is 'ugly' has suddenly increased a lot, although it is not to the point of once a day, but there are also two or three times a week, and it can be said that 'ugly Alice' has become commonplace.
Lux carefully looked at Alice, who had an 'ugly' face, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "But compared to the way Qiqi looked before she came, Alice has changed a lot." β
It's true, and let's talk about Alice's more conservative outfit because of someone's aggressive vision, let's talk about style. Originally, Alice's style was elegant and decent, but now it has become elegant, decent, spiritual, and capable. This may not sound like anything wrong, but compared to the past, there are two more qualities: spirit and ability.
This is a good thing, so Lux will naturally not stop it, and will even enjoy it, after all, Alice is also her playmate since childhood.
After the thoughts in my mind rushed by, Lux put her little head to my ear and muttered, "Hmm~ Let's sort out Alice first." After saying that, after seeing me nod in agreement, Lux turned around and muttered, "People are thirsty, drink a cup of milk tea first." He stretched out his hands to the tray on the computer's desktop. Two cups of milk tea and two plates of pastries were neatly arranged on the tray, and Lux hooked the ear of the teacup with one hand, and picked up the porcelain plate containing the teacup with the other hand and brought them to the front.
As soon as the cup of milk tea was brought to the front, Lux smelled a faint sweet smell, and although its smell was light, it had a refreshing feeling. When Lux saw it, the teacup had been filled with burgundy mixed with a hint of white liquid (a little weird to describe it). The burgundy liquid is produced by steeping in high-quality black tea, and its color is clear and translucent, and the tender white is a special milk provided by the royal family, and its wonderful thing is that it will not be dissolved when mixed with black tea, so it forms the scene just described.
Lux took a sip from the teacup, and although it was only a small sip, the sweetness it brought did not diminish in the slightest. It was so sweet and delicious that Lux, who was intoxicated by it, couldn't help but close her eyes and show a look of satisfaction.
"It just so happens that I'm a little thirsty, too. β
I just crackled a bunch of words (actually, there weren't a few words...... Naturally, I felt thirsty, so I reached out and picked up another cup of pink milk tea on the tray. As soon as I put it in my mouth, the sweet taste made me smash my mouth, and sighed with satisfaction: "Husband, I really still like to drink pink milk tea, and other milk teas probably can't make me feel so sweet." β
This milk tea is exactly what I call it, 'Pink Milk Tea'.
Its production method is not cumbersome, but its selection of materials is not something that ordinary families can buy, if high-quality black tea is still possible for ordinary families, then the special milk provided by the royal family is not necessarily available even if it is other families of Plant.
Why?
The reason is simple, because this special milk is specially supplied to the royal family of the Scandinavian Kingdom. And with the property of a royal family, do you think it would be boring enough to sell this special milk? The answer is obviously impossible. So what I've just said is not an exaggeration, who said that the other families of the plant have nothing to do with the royal family of the Scandinavian Kingdom?
Hearing my admiration, Lux just pursed her lips and chuckled, but didn't speak.
Maybe it was the overflowing fragrance of tea that woke up Alice, who was in a mess of thoughts?When my words of admiration just fell, Alice complained loudly: "Although the deliciousness of pink milk tea is indeed of the top level, there are two or three milk teas at the same level as it, so His Royal Highness Qi should take back what he said just now......" After the habitual complaining, Alice suddenly reacted - it seems that now is not the time to discuss pink milk tea.
"Just now, His Highness Qi seems to have said 'establish an intelligence organization for the family that specializes in military dynamics', right?"
Alice's delicate face looked hesitant, as if she wasn't sure I had actually said such a 'serious' remark. Seeing her hesitant look and skeptical tone, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly. It seems that Alice was really tormented a little harder just now, so that she is now wondering if her ears are hallucinating......
Of course, Alice's words actually have another more in-depth explanation: You bastard also have times when he speaks and does 'serious' things?
Well, seriously, in the three months I've been in the Klein family, I haven't really done anything 'serious'. Either snuggling up in the bedroom and tinkering with something that Lux and Alice can't understand, or reading the history books of the world in the study. Well, in short, none of these things really seem like 'serious' things.
Even so, my favorite Lux was unconditionally supportive - even though she didn't really understand what I was up to.
"Yes, if you want to hear it, that's it. I coughed lightly, my face became extremely serious again, and even my tone was not much different from just now: "After my in-depth thinking and in-depth discussion with Lux, both I and Luxe believe that it is necessary to establish an intelligence organization for the family that specializes in military dynamics. My vivid imitation made Lux on the side laugh again, and Alice's face in front of us instantly became ugly again.
This ugliness doesn't mean ugly in the sense it just had, but it refers to the real ugly (is your face blue?), and obviously she has a problem with my idea. Before Lux's laughter stopped, Alice had already interjected unceremoniously: "Your Highness Qi, do you know how much it costs to establish an intelligence organization, and how much human resources are needed? If you don't know, I can estimate the amount for you." As she spoke, Alice raised her little white hand in front of me and held out three fingers.
"Do you know what those three fingers mean?"
The calm look on Alice's delicate face had vanished, leaving only a cold smile.
"Three hundred million?"
Seeing that Alice was so 'hateful', I was naturally not to be outdone, so I did not hesitate to give a value that I thought. Seriously, 300 million is not too little, but to my surprise, Alice shook her head decisively.
"Three billion?"
I think my voice trembled a little when I said those three words. After all, that's three billion, and my 'pocket money' with Lux is only half of it combined, and Alice gave me another hard blowβshe shook her head decisively again.
"No, isn't it? 30 billion?"
I think my voice now is not just 'a little trembling', it's just trembling! Although I had long expected that the cost of building an intelligence network would definitely not be low, I didn't expect it to be as high as eleven figures, scary, you?
"Uh-huh......"
When Alice saw that my expression was blue and seemed to be fainting immediately, she said softly: "Actually, the establishment of an intelligence network also depends on the target of the intelligence and the scope of the information requested, so the cost of this establishment is uncertain, in other words...... It can be 300 million or 30 billion. β
Hearing Alice's words, I couldn't help but roll my eyes and almost fell off the chair.
Lux on the side had politely stopped laughing when Alice spoke, but after seeing and hearing Alice's behavior and remarks, Lux suddenly couldn't stop holding her belly and burst into laughter. She smiled and said intermittently, "Qi, Qiqi...... You, you're Ai, Ellie, Silk ...... Ha ha...... In the way of the other, return, return, give back to the other...... Ha ha. β
Alice, who had a stiff face, couldn't hold back at this time, she didn't expect her idea to be implemented so smoothly, and sure enough, someone was still very nervous about this so-called 'intelligence network'? Thinking about it, when Alice saw someone looking angry and helpless, her originally depressed mood suddenly let go like a flower, and she put these chaotic thoughts behind her, and laughed "haha" with Lux.
Whether it's Lux or Alice, laughter is quite distinctive. If Lux's laughter is as crisp and pleasant as a jewel, then Alice's laughter is like a breeze blowing in the face, which can make people feel comfortable and soft. When the two are combined, this laughter has the crispness of the pearl and jade on the plate, and the softness of the breeze, just like the fairy music played by the gods, giving people a feeling that cannot be described in words, and cannot be described with pen and ink.
To put it in the simplest words, it sounds great!
