But Talos just stood where he was, not at all being led by the little boy.

"What's wrong, brother?" The boy looked up at him.

"Nothing, just one more thing I have to tell you in advance." Talos lowered his eyes and looked at the childish child in front of him.

The boy tilted his head, although he was indeed a little more mature than children of the same age, but sometimes his casual behavior still showed the appearance of a child.

"Although I have accepted your commission, you must keep this commission strictly confidential."

"Why?"

"Because this is what we took over privately, that is to say, whether it can be solved or not, what happens in the process of dealing with it is just a unilateral problem between you and me, and the Yunyin Association has nothing to do with it. And you have to keep that relationship a secret. ”

Talos earnestly recounted what Rin had asked him to convey, while also watching the change in the boy's expression in front of him.

Obviously, the joyful expression on his face before quickly froze after these words, and then gradually dissipated without a trace. It was even dyed with a touch of solemnity.

The boy's little hands clenched into a small lump of meat, and his head slowly lowered, as if he was thinking and making a choice.

Private entrustment is simply not guaranteed, and he will not be deceived as a child.

After a long silence, the little boy raised his head and nodded with a firm look in his eyes, "Okay, I agree to let my brother take over my commission." ”

After finally making a decision, his small body seemed to be a lot lighter.

"Well, my brother can go home with me now." The little boy spoke tentatively, and there was obviously a little worry in his tone, for fear of being rejected again.

"Well, but before we go back......" As he said this, Talos turned around and pointed to the crane machine behind him with a cute expression, "Can you tell me how to use this?" ”

The boy glanced sideways at the crane machine behind Talos, "Brother, don't mess around!" Now is not the time to catch dolls! ”

He stomped his foot in a huff, then grabbed Talos by the arm and walked in the direction of home.

The boy's home is in a small detached house not far from the college, and the small yard in front of the door is overgrown with weeds because it has been left untended for a long time.

Talos let him lead him into the room.

In the room, the living environment is very tidy, if you don't say it, it is difficult for anyone to imagine that there is only one child living alone.

The little boy grabbed Talos' hand and led her to the storeroom, kitchen, and dining room on the second floor.

A small mouth gushes about the strange events that have happened in these places in recent days.

With this in mind, Talos came to the courtyard and was about to leave a spirit mark in an obvious place as Rin had instructed her, so that she could come here from the Guild after work.

But before Talos could make a move, the little boy who had been following him like a little tail reached out and poked Talos's waist, "Brother, there are rules in this community, and there is no special need to prohibit the use of spiritual power. ”

As he spoke, the little boy took a household handbook from the corner cabinet beside him.

It is clearly written that due to the large number of children in the school district, in order to avoid unnecessary accidental injuries and bad influences, the use of spiritual power in this area is strictly controlled.

"Okay, I got it." Talos replied briefly, then looked up at the darkening sky.

If, according to the kid, all these weird things happened in the middle of the night when no one was around, there was still a long way for them to prepare for it.

"I don't know if Rin will be able to find this place." Talos muttered to himself.

"Brother, what are you talking about?"

The boy looked up at him, but was covered by Talos's big hand on top of his head, and whispered, "It's okay, let's go back first." ”

Soon in the dead of night, Rin still didn't have the slightest news.

But time waits for no one, and while waiting for Rin, Talos has already laid an enchantment throughout the house. Although the use of spiritual power is not allowed outdoors, it is up to the head of the household to decide indoors.

When night fell, Talos and the boy hid behind the sofa in the living room early, waiting for the unknown mischief to appear and capture it in one fell swoop.

In the quiet night, except for the sound of the big wall clock 'tick, tick', only the two of them breathed one after another in the whole living room.

The boy yawned a little sleepily, but suddenly Talos covered his mouth and whispered, "Here we are." ”

The two words of conciseness popped out of Talos's mouth, and the cold voice was like a basin of cold water, which made the boy who was already obviously sleepy awake in an instant.

In the darkness, I saw a figure suddenly appear from the window. A piece of paper, like a piece of paper, crept through the crack in the window.

The small piece of paper staggered to its feet, like a puppet being manipulated remotely.

Immediately after, I heard a crisp sound of 'click', and the secret lock on the window was neatly opened by the small piece of paper.

As the window was opened from the outside, the small piece of paper shattered and dissipated when it had completed its mission.

At this time, the dark shadow outside had crawled in through the window. But because it was so dark around them, they couldn't see the faces of the people who came. Just looking at it from a distance, I feel that the figure gives people a very clumsy feeling, kicking on the window frame.

And the little boy beside Talos seemed to be a little frightened by the dark shadow of the person who suddenly broke in.

After all, he had only made unilateral judgments and guesses through clues before, but now after witnessing the picture of strangers easily breaking into his house, his young heart could hardly bear the frightened scene.

"Brother, brother, what should we do now?"

For a while, it was difficult to tell whether the person who came was an ordinary thief or some dangerous demon spirit, he just asked with a trembling voice.

"Waiting."

Talos didn't seem nervous about it at all, it would have been easy for him if he was a thief.

But if it's a demon or something, it might be a little tricky.

After all, spiritual power is forbidden here, and if this demon spirit jumps over the wall in a hurry because of his rash action, it will inevitably attract the attention of the guards and envoys stationed here.

Talos's brain was racing, and now that Rin wasn't around, he had to be careful not to poke the basket casually.

Otherwise......

Thinking of this, Talos subconsciously touched the top of his head. As if there had been a situation if he messed up things again, Rin said 'stupid——! And then it slammed into it.

At this time, the black shadow that had clumsily climbed over the wall outside the window had carefully jumped off the stove.

This figure is very small, judging by visual inspection alone, it is probably about the same size as the little boy next to him.

I saw it pat its clothes and walk towards the dining table.

"Really, it's not good to waste food." A small voice came from the dining table, and although it was not loud, it was heard very clearly in this quiet night.

After saying this, the little figure jumped onto the table, picked up an uneaten sandwich on the table, and ate it to himself.

"Brother, when are we going to wait?"

Looking at the little black shadow in front of him eating the things on the table one by one, he was neither picky nor picky. The little boy was a little anxious.

"Right now, turn on the lights."

As he spoke, he saw Talos leap out from behind the sofa and activate the enchantment locks in the four corners of the room!

The little boy beside him didn't dare to slack off for a moment, and immediately the lights in the living room were turned on to the brightest point.

As the hidden enchantment points were activated one by one, a blinding light suddenly appeared. The entire restaurant on the first floor is shrouded in a pale blue film, and with the overhead light, they look like a crystal ball with a strong light when viewed from the outside.

The small figure, which was still pouring food into its mouth, was startled by the sudden scene.

At the same time, his eyes were even more dazzled by the sudden light, and he just used his hand to cover his eyes indiscriminately.

Under the illumination of the light, Talos also had a preliminary view of the person who appeared in front of him.

Sure enough, this guy who went to someone's house late at night to steal food, both in height and appearance, was just a young child.

The light gray shirt is large and long, and at first glance it is not my own clothes, and it only feels fat and ill-fitting when worn on the body.

And it just relied on such a single coat, and it was already covered from the head to the calf.

The corners of its mouth still have the urgency left by the food it had just stolen, and the panicked expression on its face when it was suddenly discovered.

But one thing is that Talos can't be sure yet. From the outside, he couldn't tell whether the greedy little guy in front of him was a boy or a girl.

"Who the hell are you, why do you always come to my house to do this, these ......"

At this time, the little boy had also adjusted a little to the sudden light and ran out from behind the sofa.

He wanted to accuse the intruder who seemed to be almost the same age in front of him, but he talked for a long time, and he couldn't put a suitable charge on it.

After all, the guy in front of him really didn't do anything excessive except for eating some of the food he had left over from weekdays and messing up his home.

At the same time, the intruder on the other side has also adjusted to the light of the moment. Just as if frightened, he stepped back.

"I, I'm just ......"

Its voice was childish, as if it was thinking about how to explain its presence. At the same time, a pair of smart big eyes are turning non-stop at the moment.

But Talos didn't have the leisure to wait for its explanation, and immediately stepped forward, ready to restrain its movements.

I didn't want to wait for him to get closer, but the little guy in front of him suddenly spat out a small ball of flame from his mouth at Talos!
