Chapter 9: About Rei's Future

"There are also families that are too different in age, but the generations are completely reversed. Lulunaka said to Rei, "This kind of thing may be more popular among the nobles, after all, there are still people who are too old to go out and mess with flowers, and even leave a few children." ”

Rei thought for a moment, then it dawned on herβ€”of course, not because of the relationship between Pasta and Lulunaka, "No, that's not what I cared about!" she pointed to Lulunaka, "I wonder who the hell are you?"

Lulunaka didn't care about Lei's somewhat rude behavior, but walked in front of her, reaching out and touching her head, "What the hell am I, isn't I just a person?"

This kind of perfunctory answer can't convince Rei. What happened yesterday was so bizarre that she didn't know if she was lucky or unlucky, going back and forth on the brink of death and then being saved by Julius and Lulunaka...... If you have to be more serious, she probably belongs to the lucky one, and as for the bad luck, she has already died in that place.

Pasta looked at the three people outside the counter, not knowing what they were thinking, still holding a cup of tea in his hand. He didn't join in the conversation, he didn't want to be the object of a little girl's attention at this time, such a person was enough to have Lulunaka.

"Why bother with this?" Lulunaka said to her, touching Rei's head, "Is my age a big deal?"

"It's an amazing feeling. Rei replied, "A person who could be an old woman doesn't look much older than me...... Isn't that something strange?"

"What a good eye. Lulunaka looked at Rei with a smile, Rei's eyes were normal now, and they hadn't changed, but the child's eyes were already clear and as beautiful as jewels. It's just a pity that the scar on Rei's face is a bit of an eyesore. "Guess how old I am now?"

Rei frowned and reached out to pat Lulunaka's hand away, "Are you teasing me?"

"Why do you think that?" Lulunaka laughed, "I'm not going to play tricks on cutie. ”

At this time, Ward came in from the outside and shook off the snow from his body. The shiny black fur on his body was also dyed with a blue sheen, which looked even more peculiar. It looked up at its master, then at Rei, and barked at Rei. The voice was not loud or vicious, but it still startled Rei and hid behind Julius's back.

"What's the matter with that dog? He barked at me yesterday but didn't pounce. Rei was a little nervous, for an orphan, a dog was not a friendly creature, especially a wild dog, which was a child like her.

"Relax, Ward is just welcoming strangers. Lulunaka walked over and rubbed Ward's head, "Okay, that's my friend, don't be so enthusiastic." You go somewhere else to pass the time, but don't eat any more strange things. ”

Ward's body shook a few times, as if in response to Lulunaka, and then it left.

The strange dog interrupts the conversation between Lulunaka and Rei, after which the conversation cannot continue, and Lulunaka leaves the place and returns to the back yard.

Rei watched Lulunaka disappear and muttered, "What a strange person." ”

Julius agreed.

"I'm going back, I can't do anything here. Ray said to Julius.

Lulunaka's head popped out from behind the door and startled Rei with a loud voice, "I don't recommend you go back to the Rat Path now, and it's better not to go underground." It's probably quite lively down there, and it's not a place for a kid like you to pick up trash. ”

Lulunaka's words piqued Rei's curiosity, "What has become of the sewers?"

"What has become of it, it's probably the case of every creature and necromancer hitting the upper sewers because of their rage. Lulunaka replied, "It's probably going to be a lot of fun right now, so if you don't want to be trampled to death, it's better not to go back yet." ”

In a chaotic and crowded place like the Rat Road, if there is a riot, there will indeed be unlucky people who may actually die at the feet of others. When Lulunaka said this, Rei's desire to go back suddenly became less intense.

"That kind of place doesn't have anything precious for you. Lulunaka continued, "Why don't you stay and rest for a while in a place like that?"

Lulunaka's invitation was sudden, but attractive, and Rei hesitated, and even Julius had a look of joy on her face. Regardless of whether there is a change in the sewers, in fact, Julius doesn't want Rei to go back to that kind of place, she is an orphan, and she is so young, she can live for so long in the rat road, which is already an easy thing in itself, he is worried that one day, maybe Rei will disappear, he doesn't want to see such an ending.

"You want me to stay here?" asked Rei.

"For now. Lulunaka said, "But if you want to stay, I'm not going to get rid of you, cutie." But I think there is a better place for you, and if you go there, you can probably have a better time. Speaking of which, Lulunaka glanced at Pasta and Julius, and then at the inside of the shop, "To be honest, it's already a bit difficult to raise three people in this place, especially with a pig that can be eaten. She pointed at Julius, causing Julius' face to turn a little red, "Wasn't I kicked out by you to feed myself?"

"That's just a recent thing, and you haven't spit it out for me before. Lulunaka smiled and said that Julius was not, "You used to be a rice bucket, and you ate everything. ”

Julius disagreed with her, but gave up his intention to refute it, and simply looked elsewhere and did not look into her eyes.

"Anyway, you just stay first, you don't have a place to go anyway. Lulunaka continued to Rei, "I have come up with a good fit, a lot more reliable than this rice bucket by your side, and you will be able to live a good life when the time comes." ”

Listening to Lulunaka's tone, it was as if she was looking for a guardian for Rei.

Rei blinked, "Why do you look like I'm sure I'll listen to you?" She seemed to be resistant to Lulunaka trying to arrange for herself.

"Believe me, too, aren't we partners in adversity?"

Rey doesn't remember how she and Lulunaka went through their troubles, and Julius might be more appropriate for that, as for her...... is a strange person, although this strange person helps himself.
