Chapter 14: Who Deceived Whom

Mei nodded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's really ordinary."

"Ordinary?"

"I always feel that ordinary people will do things in the dark."

"Isn't this nonsense, I can't say that I am completely characterless, but I will only act according to human habits. If you're expecting me to do something different and follow me, forget it. ”

"Really, it doesn't teleport, and it doesn't suddenly release any world-destroying fluctuations?"

"Is that the Demon King!?"

"Anyway, you see, you probably won't find the things you're looking for on me, so you don't need to go with me."

"So--does Black hate being followed by me?"

"Although I don't say it's annoying, but as a man who has grown up, I also need some privacy in this regard, such as self-beeping-"

"Bang!"

"Why did you drop me again!?"

"Sorry, my hand slipped."

"No, it's definitely on purpose."

"Since you know that I did it on purpose, it means that you know very well what you just said that you shouldn't have said." Mei Yi smiled a little scariously. "Really, don't make such jokes in a serious atmosphere."

"Yes, yes," Kuro got back up, this time, with a serious expression. "Indeed, I have a feeling that I can understand from sporadic memories that Mei and I probably did know each other before, and you followed me like this because of the influence of those memories."

"However, I pay more attention to the current matter than to retrieve the memory, Lilia's matter, and the organization behind her, although I have no interest in that organization, but some seem to be unable to untie her knot if you don't solve that matter."

"And what I'm going to do next, it's probably more suitable for me to do it myself, Aether Paradise, although I was invited to go, but I don't know what the other side thinks."

"Is it something you have to do alone?"

Black nodded.

"I'm sorry, but it's probably because of me that you're at a loss. But don't worry, you don't have to look for anything, just trust me to fix these things and go back to find you, and that's enough. ”

That was probably the most reassuring sentence Mei had heard in the past three months.

"Can I believe you?"

"Oh!"

……

To put it mildly, Black finally made Mei accept his departure.

Except for the fact that he is now able to absorb Z crystals, and the past about Liliai, which is not clear even to Black, the rest is basically the truth.

There's no need to lie, and the next thing can probably only be done by Hei himself, and let a girl who hasn't recovered her memory follow, and there are a lot more variables.

"Aether Paradise ......"

Although it looks like pushing and shoving on the surface, in Hei's heart, it is actually a place where you must go to get in touch with Liliai's past.

"Then again, Zaobo doesn't really think he's going to fool me."

……

The rooms at the resort of Haun Haunou.

"Sub-Minister Zaobo, tell you to bring that bastard who got into Kosmogu, why hasn't there been any news until now?"

"I'm sorry, Chairman." In front of the blonde woman across the screen, Zaobo whispered.

"I don't want an apology, you know where that bastard boy went, right?"

"That's right, I've already investigated, and he should have finished his tour of the islands in Akkara by now. Rest assured, Director, I've made an appointment to go back to Aetherland with that little bastard named Black. Judging by his demeanor, Lilia doesn't seem to have revealed your story to Black, as long as it takes a while-"

"After so many years of working in the Aether Foundation, you don't understand that truth. Contracts that are not signed are all waste paper, and even if they are signed, they may not be waste paper. ”

"My subordinates know."

"If you know, do it, don't wait for an agreement, don't you fully believe that as long as there is an agreement, that bastard will definitely send it to the door himself!?"

"Yes!"

The call was unilaterally hung up from the chairman's side.

After the call, Zaobo sighed deeply.

Although he always had an unbeatable attitude in the Aether Foundation, that attitude in front of the chairman was long gone.

Judging from the call, the chairman seems to have waited impatiently.

Zaobo knew very well that the one who, once angry, could turn the heavens upside down.

But to say that this black is really not an easy thing to deal with.

Black didn't take Aether Paradise seriously at all, nor did he take Zaobo, the sub-chief, seriously.

"It's obviously a little slut, just because the chairman ordered me to beg him in a low voice!"

Thinking of this, Zaobo gritted his teeth.

"Someone!" Zaobo called in a few of his men. "Show me, if that bastard is here."

"Yes—"

"Zaobo, by the way, you're living in a nice place." A dark voice suddenly came from the door of Zaobo's apartment.

“！！！”

Zaobo, who had just called Hei a bastard, was so frightened that his heart almost didn't jump out, and he was surprised that no one outside of his own subordinates would enter this place.

Even if he really wants to come, there will be many of his subordinates in front of him to report and stop him in time, so that Zaobo can be ready to receive him.

However, Black ignored all of this and came in directly.

Zaobo didn't know that Kuro could gain all the skills of one attribute by absorbing Z crystals.

It's just that he is moving at the door of the resort, and almost no one can see him, just like the low-profile version of teleportation.

Whatever the reason, Zaobo wasn't going to make it easy for the intruders to go back.

But who made this little brute the one named by the chairman to take back?

Zaobo smiled and opened the door.

"It's dark, I didn't expect you to come back so soon, and you kept our agreement, it's really glad."

"Mr. Zaobo, you're still smiling so disgustingly as always."

"Smack!"

The veins on Zaobo's forehead exploded.

However, this is also work, Zaobo advised himself, and continued to greet the black smile.

"Then again, I didn't come at the right time." Hei asked suddenly.

"Why, no matter what time it is, I eagerly welcome Black's arrival."

"But just now I think I heard the house talking about bastards or something—"

"It's me bastard, I'm a bastard!" Zaobo replied with a blushing face. "Why do you think I'm such a bastard, knowing that the black master came without preparing a welcome ceremony in advance."

"That's an exaggeration."

"No exaggeration, no exaggeration at all! Alright, it's better than anything else that you're here, we'll go to the dockyard at once, and prepare the ship for Aetherland, that's it! ”

As if he had seen a savior, Zaobol left the resort of Haun Hau Hono without stopping for a moment, and walked along the avenue of the city towards the port to the west.

And the black sighed silently.

What a well-understood person, Hei thought.

……

"I don't know what happened to the black."

Previously, at Black's suggestion, Lilia returned to the City of Hospitality and lived with Dr. Kukui at Dr. Barnett's Space Research Institute.

In this place where technology is studied, if you don't have to participate in research, it will seem surprisingly idle, and Lilia is like that.

Occasionally, I get a few books to read, except for some weird conclusions, the process of analysis is like a book from heaven, and I can't understand it at all.

In the end, I could only stay on the balcony with Pichu, who was subdued because of the darkness, and from the balcony of the Space Research Institute, I could see the avenue of the city and the sea in the distance, and the scenery was good, and the sea breeze was very comfortable.

However, Lilia didn't feel like she could enjoy the scenery in peace.

Reminds me of Gragio's words:

- Whatever the outcome, she's going to get hurt.

Although I have such a premonition in my heart, I always feel very concerned about what will happen after that road and what will happen to Kuro after that.

That day Hei said, there is no need to blame yourself, no one is born strong.

Maybe this trip is also a process of my own growth.

That being said, it also means that you can't just stay here and do nothing.

"What do you think I'm going to do, Pichu?"

"Pichu?"

"Ah, don't care, I know you won't be able to answer."

It's up to you to choose your own actions, just like Black.

So, what can she do now?

At this moment, he saw a young man in the street, wearing a white shirt and trousers, with a slightly crooked bow tie, because it was too hot, and the suit was wrapped around his waist.

Probably there is no second person other than black who will wear such a strange suit in a suit.

"Black?"

Subconsciously wanted to say hello, but when she saw another person next to Hei, Lilia covered her mouth.

"Zaobo, why is he here? Is that what Gragio meant? ”

That's right, Lilia is the daughter of Lutha Mina, the director of the Aether Foundation.

Wanting to stop Lusa Mina's plan to get her hands on the Ultimate Dimension on the far side of this world, she took Cosmogu with her.

Therefore, Lilia has been hiding from no one else, but her biological mother, which she has never had the courage to explain to her.

However, right now, Hei and Zaobo are walking together, talking and laughing.

Could it be that Hei is planning to cooperate with Zaobo?

No, Lilia believed in black, and there was not even a 1 in 10,000 chance.

Well, there is only one possibility.

Zaobo, who knew that Black had a legendary spirit evolved from Cosmogus and lured him to the Aether Space, closing the door and beating the dog.

and knew that it was a Hongmen banquet, but he made an unsuspecting look and planned to plan the black.

Thinking of this, Lilia's heart trembled.

"Anyway, it's too dangerous to dare to go knowing it's a trap."

It's not that she looks down on Black's abilities, but Lilia knows better what a terrifying person her mother, Lutha Minay, is.

"What should I do?"

Lilia asked herself.

Go to Dr. Kukui? She immediately shook her head at the thought.

The Doctor is a good man, but he is also just a Doctor. As for the inside story of the Aether Foundation, Lilia should know better than anyone who can help her.

That said, no one can make a more correct decision now than Lilia's own choice.

Thinking of this, Lilia made up her mind.

"You can't let the black bear it alone!"

……

"Eh, are we going to take a little yacht like this?"

Black reluctantly pointed to the boat in front of the harbor.

"This is the fastest boat to Aetherland."

"But Zaobo, what are you asking me to go to Aether Paradise for?"

"Of course, it's for a visit, to repay you for driving away the skeleton group for us." Zaobo said with a smirk.

"Then visiting the scenery on the sea is also part of the visit, so I thought I was going to kidnap you in a hurry."

"Kidnapping? We don't mean that. ”

Zaobo was visibly weak-hearted.

"So, what about the ship? It's much more stable than a speedboat. ”

Black pointed to another cruise ship that looked quite luxurious.

"That one? But—"

"No, you can't sit down, obviously it also has your Aether Foundation logo on it."

On closer inspection, both boats do have a golden triangle logo emblazoned.

But it stands to reason that no one told Black that it was the Aether Foundation logo, so did this guy just notice this detail at a glance?

This devil!

Although he scolded so much in his heart, he didn't have a seizure for work.

"Someone, change the boat for me."

There was no way, in order to prevent Hei from suddenly changing his mind, he had to agree to Hei's request.

So, it seems that after some complicated procedures, Black finally got on the cruise ship.

However, it turned out that because of the long time to go through the formalities, it was already dark when I boarded the ship.

The boat sailed slowly, as if it was going to sail from that night to the next morning, and the night view of the sea was not worth seeing.

However, because there are too many rooms on the ship, it is very comfortable, of course, most of the rooms are empty, and the cruise ship for a tourist is really a bit wasteful.

But Aether Paradise did just that.

"Should I say I have the money, or do I have to do it for a bigger purpose?" Lying on the soft bed, Hei smiled faintly.

Early the next morning, the cruise ship finally arrived at a central port.

Walking slowly down the stairs from the cruise ship, Zaobo was already waiting for him in the harbor.

"Black, how was last night?"

"Ah, it's so comfortable, the scenery in the Alola area is so beautiful, I was so moved that I almost cried."

Absolutely deceitful, what is the view of the sea at night.

Thinking so, Zaobo still kept a smile on his face.

I've endured it all the way, and anyway, when I see the chairman, the work is over, as long as I endure it a little longer!

"So, please follow me to this elevator."

……

Although he has always been smiling at Black, but when he arrives at Aether Paradise, the base camp of the Aether Foundation in the Alola region, even a trainer like Black should be the turtle in the urn.
