Chapter 633: The Failed Paladin's Shaping Plan
"But the president ......"
"Oh yes, I didn't ask you to do the job of a paladin! How? Now you won't even try to run an errand for me? β
Seeing that Arrow's expression began to become serious, Sutta also looked a little restrained. After hesitating for a long time, she finally nodded reluctantly and said softly, "Yes...... I see......"
Arrow smiled, very satisfied with the woman's current promise.
Soon, he gave a list of books to buy, and then took out a gold coin for travel and lodging, and handed it to the Suta.
But just as Crispy Tower was about to go out, Arrow still stopped her: "If you go out, you take your tower shield with you." β
"Huh? Bring my husband's weapons? This...... Why? β
The crisp tower looked very puzzled.
Arrow continued to say with a relaxed face, "Why? It's not because it's dangerous. You think, you're a woman, walking that far to Lagoon City to buy something, and then you're going to bring it back. What should I do if I encounter any danger on the road? There's a tower shield that you can at least use for self-defense, right? β
Sutta silently stared at Arrow, the expression on her face a little gloomy.
Seeing this expression, Arrow suddenly had an ominous premonition for a while. But even though this premonition had come to him, he still tried to keep the smile on his face alive.
"President Arrow, if I carry my husband's shield, does that mean...... Am I in danger along the way? β
"Danger? What are you talking about, I'm just telling you to be as careful as possible. β
"But do you think that if such a lowly woman as me were to carry such a flamboyant shield, she would attract attention? I'm not that pampered, so I can still do things like going away. And I'm just buying a few books, so there's no need to be so eye-catching, right? β
At this moment, Arrow felt that something was starting to be dangerous.
His heart couldn't help but twitch, but he still pretended to be calm and smiled, and said, "Alas, what are you thinking? I just want you to buy some books, where did you get so much trouble? β
Sutta bowed to Arrow, looking very sincere, but also very resolute, and said, "If it's to buy books, then I'd rather go like this." If you insist that I take my husband's tower shield out, then I can only say that I don't want to do it. Anyway, I don't have a salary to get paid for working in the guild, so I refuse this matter, it shouldn't matter, right? β
This woman ......
Let's say that this woman has a tough personality, but she is very weak in the face of her husband!
But if this woman is weak, once it comes to the paladin, her tough attitude makes Arrow feel like an egg hitting a stone!
After waiting for a moment, seeing that Arrow didn't say a word, he bowed to his president again and said, "If the president doesn't have anything else to do, then I'll go to work first." And if you're not in a hurry to buy books, I'll go to the shops in the central square in the afternoon, there are a lot of merchants there, maybe there will be booksellers. In addition......"
She put the coin back in Arrow's handβ
"I don't need to go to Lagoon City, so I don't need to pay for it, right?"
With that, Sutta picked up the pile of clothes again and went back to the room to fold them.
Seeing such a stubborn and pedantic appearance, Napa laughed. The cat clutched his belly and said happily: "It looks like your plan has failed~~~!" Hahaha! This woman isn't that stupid all the time! β
As for Napa's quarrel, Airo now only has a stinky face to show it. It was at this time that Cream ran in happily from outside the door, ran all the way to Arrow, and said with a smile: "President, everything is arranged!" It is possible to act according to the plan! What about the crisp tart? Have you already gone out? That's great! The timing is just right! β
"Don't be fine, the woman is folding clothes in the room now."
Arrow said angrily, and the smile on his face disappeared suddenly.
Cream's expression was really good-looking now, he was surprised at first, and then a little puzzled. But looking at Arrow's angry face, the assassin still didn't ask the question in his heart after all.
After seeing that Cream didn't say anything more, Arrow felt that he needed to calm down now.
He silently rubbed his forehead and exhaled slowly, which was considered to calm his mood temporarily.
There's no way, the problems of your guild always need to be solved by your guild leader, and it's impossible to go to the room by yourself and faint, and then wait until you wake up and everything will be solved, right?
After thinking about it, Arrow finally nodded and said, "Cream, this matter is like this for the time being, and there is no need to think about other more things." Well...... So, come with me. β
With that, Arrow finally walked down the stairs to the second floor. When he reached the door of Mr. and Mrs. Macaroon's room, he calmed his heart a little again, and then knocked softly.
"Please come in."
The sound of a crisp tart came from the room.
Arrow pushed the door open, but as soon as he saw the president, the crisp tower inside immediately didn't have a good face, and it was completely very defensive.
"Ah...... President. β
Crispy put down the clothes she was arranging, got up from the table, and bowed slowly to Arrow.
Arrow smiled, nodded slightly, and walked into the room. And Cream is now guarding the outside, just probing his brain inside, and not walking in directly.
After walking up to the tower, Arrow exhaled, then put on a look of complete abandonment, and said, "Okay, I know how persistent you are in this regard. So I also decided not to embarrass you anymore. And I promise you that I will no longer use deception to make you do things you don't want to do, will that be okay? β
Hearing Arrow's direct surrender, the vigilant expression on Suta's face was a little slackened. At this time, the corners of her mouth also began to bring a little smile, and she said in a polite but slightly raw tone: "If the president is willing to keep his promise, then I am naturally willing to do my part for the mermaid song." Don't worry, President, I can take care of all the clutter in the guild, and I'm pretty fast. β
Arrow smiled, now, it can be regarded as a kind of agreement between the two sides for the time being.
He looked at the bed next to him for a moment and said, "Your husband...... What is the current situation? β
When it came to her husband, the expression on Suta's face still looked lonely after all. She turned her head and looked at Buzz on the bed, looking helpless: "He's ...... It's okay for now. While nothing good has changed, it looks ...... There shouldn't be any bad changes......"
Arrow stood on tiptoe and poked his head slightly over Bass, "I can...... Go over and see your husband? β
Seeing that Arrow's tone was very gentle now, the vigilance in Suta's heart relaxed a lot. Maybe there was no one in the whole Pelican Town to talk to her about her husband, and now that someone could talk to, she seemed a little relaxed.
Seeing Sutta nod, Arrow walked over to the bed, sat on the edge of the bed and reached out his hand, gently touching Buzz's forehead.
Well...... Still have a body temperature.
But when he reached out and pressed it on his chest, he still couldn't feel the paladin's heartbeat.
However, after such a temptation, Arrow also achieved his goal, nodded secretly, and got up.
"Looks like Mr. Bass's body is still the same......"
Sutta showed a wry smile, her eyes kept looking around her husband very nostalgically, and said, "Hmm...... I just don't know if there is a way to save this strange magic...... But sometimes...... Sometimes, I really wonder if my husband is alive now. Or is it really already ...... Alas...... What was I thinking? β
As soon as he talked about this sensitive issue, Suta's expression became even more depressed.
But Arrow smiled and said, "Although, I'm not a doctor. But I don't think your husband is dead. I believe that he is still alive and well. β
Sutta smiled faintly and nodded softly to Arrow: "Thank you, President, for your comfort......"
"No, I'm not comforting you, I mean really. I said, I'm not a doctor, but I think your husband is really alive, because in addition to his body temperature, there is a change that can only happen to your husband in life. β
Even if it was comforting, Airo's words really made a little blush of excitement appear on Suta's face! She looked up again, looked in her husband's direction, then turned to Arrow again, and said, "President...... You...... How do you know? β
Arrow smiled, "It's easy, because your husband's body is starting to get a little weak now. β
As she spoke, Arrow reached out and took Suta's hand and led her to her husband's side.
Although the sudden act of a young man grabbing her hand made Sutta stiffen, she did not have a seizure in view of her husband's affairs, and withdrew her hand as soon as she approached the bedside.
Arrow felt the twitch of Suta's hand, and also realized that he had done something that was not quite in line with his male identity, and now he could only smile awkwardly, pretending not to care, he stretched out his hand and pointed to Buzz on the bed, and said with a smile: "You take care of your husband every day, so you may not feel it." But if I look at it, your husband's body is noticeably thinner now than it was when I first saw him. β
