Chapter 82: Pocket Money
"I was about to say you're going to be staring at me now."
The expression of the longing - is the punishment too excessive, a little soft-hearted? However, it was the fault of the Fog Blade that he had been more diligent in the first place, and what happened today would not have happened at all.
"I know, I won't disappoint you next time anyway."
"That's a lying look."
"You'd better see this kind of thing."
A smile replaced the response.
At this time, Mist Blade found that today was the number one, and if his pocket money was calculated in months, wouldn't today be a good day to receive pocket money?
Although it is only a hundred dollars, it is better than nothing.
"Longing, this month's pocket money-"
"I don't have pocket money this month."
That cold tone doesn't sound like a joke, but it doesn't sound like a real thing.
“…… Let me hear the reason first. It won't be what you said, you can't always use beating and scolding to educate, but you have to teach me a real lesson. ”
"That's right, so I'm not going to give Fogblade pocket money this month."
“…… You're a demon with a beast's heart. ”
"If you want pocket money, let me see how Fogblade is doing at school. Come, Yales, this is your share. ”
Grace pulled out a bag of pay from the safe placed under the kitchen table and handed it to Yareth with a smile in front of the Mist Blade. This guy ......!
What kind of whole-person show is this?
Because the computer was robbed, Yareth ran to the TV in boredom, and in order to divert the boredom and frustration, Mist Blade accompanied her, and the brother and sister watched the noon news like this, passing the time of the afternoon, which was no longer meaningless.
Therefore, with the help of temporary news, the Fog Blade almost was not mentally prepared, the instant jump of the picture, the situation changed suddenly, everyone gasped, and said the name of the protagonist in the picture like waking up a nightmare:
"Lilith......?"
The stormy fate seems to be still wavering on the body of the Fog Blade.

The time goes back a little to the day before the turmoil and riots at the amusement park -
The meeting room of the five sages has always been a good place to canvass for votes in the election, and it is also a place where the new five sages can live with peace of mind.
Especially in the face of emerging cities, it is not easy to come by, and it is not easy to last.
Although it is easy for the people to feel at ease before the people's will is firmly established, it is even more difficult for the people to have the qualifications to command the people.
This is the nature of human beings, greed, laziness and selfishness, and public figures only reflect these points, but because of their own reputation, more ugliness is exaggerated and ridiculed.
"Cherubim, you're here to sell your self-righteous rules, to brainwash innocent people, right?"
Lilith probed her brain, and in this small space that could accommodate about three or four people at most, she still couldn't suppress her extraordinary curiosity, trying to find new and interesting fun.
"It was an opportunity to educate and share experiences. Besides, my strong personality is entirely inherited from you, old grandmother. ”
"However, no matter how strong my personality is, I still can't convince you to be a homeless imp. What I can't even do, you hairy boy is very easy. ”
"That's better than blue."
The cherubim made tea and entertained Lilith, but Lilith rolled her eyes:
"You know that I only drink black tea, and I can't stand this kind of tea just by smelling it."
There was a small table between the two, and there was only tea and rags on the table.
"It's rude, after all, I haven't seen my grandmother for a while, and I have almost forgotten my grandmother's preferences."
"Don't give me nonsense over there, obviously in front of me and the little ghost who has no home, I also came to visit you, this kid. It was a few days ago. ”
"Really? In this way, Kanna-san's classmates have begun to wonder if I entrusted my grandmother to disturb his private life. ”
"I'm going to shirk my responsibility, but—I'm going with the flow, and I think you're a kid who expected that kid to bring down Heribel, so you offered him a reward for the duke's head, right?"
The conversation was abruptly interrupted, and although the box adopted a policy of soundproofing and solid walls, the privacy inside was retained, and the knock on the door outside could also be used as a third party to intervene.
"Cherubim, did I educate you in this way? actually invited God Wujia to answer together, which is really unpleasant. ”
The cherubim opened the door to greet the new guests, and the other party was a female secretary dressed as a white-collar worker, and her hand was full of reports, all of which had to be confirmed with him before the important information for the purpose was confirmed.
The cherubim simply coped with the past and retired from convenience.
Then, in the face of this suspicious old grandmother, cherubim smiled regretfully:
"Grandmother's ability to recognize people needs to be strengthened."
"Don't be long-winded, if I give you rice to bite me back, then I'll be sorry for Metatron."
"What is Grandmother looking for me today?"
Lilith narrowed her eyes dissatisfied:
"Cherubim, what are you hiding from me, you boy?"
The cherubim took a sip of tea:
"I don't understand what Grandmother meant."
"Why are you collecting youkai?"
"Grandmother, it's troublesome to talk about the occasion, even if you are my biological grandmother, this is a political place after all, if you don't have any class, everything you say doesn't count, I can do it for you on the spot."
It doesn't hurt to go to war on the spot, but the cherubim knew they didn't have the confidence to defeat a monster that in its heyday could rival the Seventy-Second Duke.
The most important point - he is now a government official, image, face and reputation are necessities, there is no need to fight with an old immortal woman for a little thing, and lose his political career.
Even if the final 22nd century mythological project comes to an end, that is not the future he is happy to see.
“…… The kid grew up, huh? ”
"I'm grown up and have my own family."
"How many youkai do you have over there now?"
"Grandmother asks what this is for?"
"My sister doesn't seem to have come to this side of the world yet, and before that I want to make sure of some news, so as not to have endless disputes from time to time."
"Grandmother caused those disputes, right? Grandmother's belligerent personality has caused a lot of dissatisfaction with many people, including some of your sisters, and the fact that they target men is their biggest criticism of grandmother. ”
In fact, for the cherubim, Lilith's existence is far more threatening than that of the Gordoraith family or the Khribel family, not only because of the other party's blood relationship with him, but also because of this, the cherubim have been deliberately avoiding it, and it seems that it cannot be avoided until this step has come to this point.
After the two major families have been defeated one after another, the enemy will also turn their heads, and it seems that a few more tasks will be assigned to the "children of Eve". Until "that" goal is achieved, nothing can be said to shake his throne.
"Okay...... The man who gave the boy the title of duke was wishful thinking on my part, and I have remembered your intentions, my precious offspring, the cherubim. ”
“……”
"Anyway, you know my grandmother very well, so I won't be verbose about the rest of the matter."
The implication was that in order to complete the deal, the cherubim would have to give her some favor.
But the combat power at hand can't be handed over to this woman casually...... Cherubim had to admit that he really didn't know what was going on in the grandmother's head, and that he had given her too much convenience, which could easily lead to death.
Let's be conservative here, try to talk to her about the conditions with this sentence first:
"What if I lend you a Five Sages first?"

Because of the bankruptcy of the Heribel family, there is more than one construction site that is under construction and stopped.
But after that, the only thing that could be followed by the industrial rezoning in the old suburbs was the rezoning.
The area is underpopulated and steep, so housing prices and land are low, and if the Heribel family can continue to move before it is almost abandoned by the government, it will have a chance to regain its potential to compete with the capital.
However, the lack of people in this industrial area has made it a haven for gangsters, fugitive murderers or underworld traders.
However, these days are much cleaner, after all, the gangsters are also people, and they can't control things like strange forces and gods without enough faith.
