When Lulunaka returns to the store, she happens to see Barrick. Barrick sat across the counter from Pasta, who was sitting inside, drinking tea, their cups steaming. Seeing Lulunaka return, Barrick greeted her, "How about a boudoir tea with the princess?"

"Funny little girl, very imposing. Lulunaka climbed straight onto the counter and sat down, shaking her calves, "But it's a little too sharp, it's a person who makes others uncomfortable if it's not happy, and it's not a problem for a princess." ”

"Did she trouble you?" asked Barrick.

Lulunaka made a surprised expression, "How is it possible, she is an interesting person, of course she will not trouble me, only boring people will use their status to show off themselves - Miss Sophia's words do not seem to have such vulgar taste." ”

"It's the princess. Barrick corrected. "No, let's call her Miss, I'm afraid that one day I'll accidentally call her Princess, and then the distance between us will widen. Lulunaka laughed, "Since she's not going to tell me who she really is, let's keep it a secret." ”

"Princess Sophia, not a nice person to get along with. Pasta also spoke, "I also had close contact with her when I first came to King's Castle and gained some fame by showing her martial arts. She asked me why a wandering knight like me came to a place like King's Castle for fame and fortune. ”

Hearing this, Luluna Kaha laughed, "It's really mean, even if it's not wrong, how can such a thing be said directly?"

This kind of thing can only be said by young people. Barrick stroked his beard and laughed.

Pasta's mood didn't fluctuate, as if he was talking about someone else's business, "I haven't been in contact with the princess since then, and I'm probably a boring person for her." ”

"A woman's instinct is that you are an unreliable man, and that's why. Lulunaka said, then looked around the store, "By the way, what about the two little ones?"

"I left during the day, saying that I was going back to the rat road to pack my things. Pasta replied, "Although I don't think that a lonely child of mine would have anything of value in the Mouse Path. ”

"Maybe I'll have to go back there and sell the stolen goods, after all, I've got a lot of dead people's things from the ground. Lulunaka laughed, and Barrick's attention caught his attention, "Oh, ma'am, you can't have done something bad, have you?"

"If the death of a man is a bad thing, then it is done. It happened very deep underground, and I don't think anyone would be able to get here. Lulunaka replied to Barrick's words with a smile. Barrick thought about it for a moment, and decided not to pursue the matter any further. The starry sky outside still has blue traces, and although it has become very faint, it is still very conspicuous. This incident did not have much impact, his chamber of commerce and fleet returned to normal in a short time, for a dwarf, there is not so much religion, even if there is, it is just to make business better.

"So, Master Barrick, what do you think of that little girl?" asked Lulunaka.

Barrick didn't answer right away, but was silent for a while, "That's a clever child. ”

"If you're satisfied, take her away, okay?" Lulunaka smiled at him. Pasta's brow moved when she heard Lulunaka's words. He had already noticed that Lulunaka meant this, but he didn't expect her to do it so quickly, and to find a dwarf like Barrick.

If someone else says to Barrick abruptly, "Adopt a child." Then Barrick will definitely treat this person as a good person, or someone with a problem in his brain - of course, if the other party is a person with some status and status, Barrick's words cannot be too much, as for whether to refuse politely or divert the topic, it depends on the situation.

But for Lulunaka, Barrick doesn't think his own set works. Lulunaka looked at him with a smile in her eyes, but with a serious look in her eyes. So Barrick also takes this very seriously, and there is no child's play.

"It's not enough to be smart. If you're not satisfied, forget it, I'm just looking for trouble when I force you to adopt a child you don't want. ”

"I don't have much of a problem, just be an extra child to eat, anyway, my chamber of commerce is there, so it's still very simple for her to live a better life than before. "My only concern is whether the kid will be happy?"

"Why wouldn't you be happy? You just say that you hired her to work as a child, and she will probably be happy to count the money for you. ”

Lulunaka's words caused Barrick to cough a few times, as she spoke like an unscrupulous businessman who exploited child labor.

Pasta had a look of realization, "I see...... You're pretty good at fooling children. Pasta figured out how Lulunaka could convince Rei that adoption was easy to be suspicious, especially for a sensitive child like Rei, who might not be so easily relenting. But what if it's hiring? Child labor is not a strange thing, and no one condemns Barrick, even if he "employs" an orphan.

In this case, the reason is very appropriate, and the wary Rei can accept it.

"She can do whatever she can, let her do it, she is very clever, if it is not heavy work, let her do it. Lulunaka laughed, "If she doesn't do a good job, she can survive without money or food...... It doesn't get any more convenient for employees. ”

Barrick couldn't figure out if he was a merchant or if Luluna was, and she seemed more fit for a merchant than he was—or was she particularly lacking in virtue. But the irony is that she doesn't look like this merchant when she opens a store, and the goods are sold at a loss. However, it was difficult and pointless to guess what she was thinking about an existence like Lulunaka, and Barrick stopped thinking about it. "Ma'am, I think it's good that you didn't become a merchant. ”

"Because I'm not the material?"

Barrick shook his head, "Because you're too freewheeling...... Swimming in the two extremes of casual profligacy and ruthless exploitation, you can't be a businessman, it's just a troublemaker. ”

Luluna laughed, "I think so, too. She said to Barrick.
