Chapter 77: The Eight Odd Circus
"Look, Talos, I kind of know why this bastard principal suddenly changed his tune and bit us back."
As she spoke, Rin pointed to an inconspicuous location in the photo attached to the advertisement at the amusement park and said, "Look here." β
"Ikeme?"
"That's right, it's Ikeme. This amusement park is simply the property of the Ikeme family, so the director directly changed the receipt letter after receiving Ikeichi's order. β
Rin puffed up the newspaper on the bed.
But I am also responsible for this matter, if I looked carefully at that time, I would not be pitted by Chi Yi's bastard.
Wait a minute, how could Talos be so surprised to see Ikeme's name, didn't he bring the newspaper to show himself?
Sure enough, I saw that Talos beside him was still staring at the newspaper in his hand, and there seemed to be a look of regret in his eyes.
"Talos, what exactly did you give me this newspaper to read?"
"Nothing." As he spoke, Talos reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the newspaper without answering directly.
"Oh? Is it? β
Rin clearly saw what he was hiding, but didn't say anything directly, just approached Talos as if he was getting closer, looking like he wanted to see through him, staring at the delicate, but usually a little cute face.
Talos turned sideways, deliberately avoiding Rin's overly inquiring gaze.
But before he could get away, a pair of hands was left and right, like a sandwich, and grabbed his cheek with a 'snap'.
"Say, are you hiding something from me!"
As she spoke, Rin suddenly moved closer.
Talos was startled and subconsciously wanted to hide. But his body lost his balance because of this, and he staggered and fell under the bed.
'Bang dangβ'
The slightly stiff body of Talos fell straight from the bed, and with him fell down, of course, there was Rin who pinched his face and didn't have time to let go.
Rin got up with her eyes half-open, but now she was sitting on Talos's waist.
Although it didn't fall, the position where the hands touched......
It's a little heavy, and it's a little bit of Microsoft's feel.
I saw Rin 'Teng' blushing, hurriedly got up from Talos's body, pretended to be calm, and tried not to look at the stupid guy on the ground at this embarrassing moment.
But Talos, who is usually a little stupid, didn't feel anything wrong at this time, just reached out and scratched his chest that was a little itchy after being touched by Rin.
Seeing Rin standing with her back to her, Talos mistakenly thought she was angry, and immediately looked a little nervous and slightly embarrassed.
"I just watched the amusement park open and thought...... I want to go and see it with you. However, since it is the property of the Ikeme clan, it is not necessary. β
Talos stammered an explanation, but it made people feel a little awkward no matter how they looked at it.
But Rin Rin only froze when she heard this.
This guy, want to go to the amusement park with himself?
Originally, I thought that he wanted to take an excuse to take a look at the water pavilion, after all, he was so protective of the water pavilion at that time, and he also took a weapon forged by other people's spirits......
β¦β¦ Wait, what the hell was she thinking? Isn't it ...... Isn't that a little too cautious?
Rin suddenly fell into unknown self-doubt, and her eyes wandered, wondering how to answer Talos's words.
Suddenly, her attention fell to the newspaper on the bed.
In the vicinity of the amusement park's advertisement, another piece of news that caught the eye seemed to be particularly eye-catching at this moment.
Why didn't she notice just now?
"Public holidays are really rare, it's not good to be at home all the time. Why don't I take you to another fun place? β
Rin smiled, and there was clearly something meaningful in that smile.
"Where?" Talos blinked in confusion.
"Of course, it's a ......place that's more interesting and meaningful than an amusement park," Rin smiled even more as he spoke.
On the surface, it seems to be gentle and cute, but in the eyes of Talos, he feels a little cold behind it.
β¦β¦
The next day, Rin wore a frock suit, with a long ponytail tied high above her head. It has a girlish atmosphere, and at the same time it is capable.
Talos, on the other hand, is a simple outfit of a black T-shirt and beige shorts, which looks both casual and a little more sporty.
From a distance, these two people are not a good match in terms of clothing matching or overall vision.
Although Talos's requirements for clothing are just clean, it should be said that Rin Rin's clothes are indeed quite good.
"So where the hell are we going today?"
Talos was still asking, but Rin didn't mean to tell him at all, and just walked on her own.
It didn't take long for the two to come to a place not far from the city where they lived.
In a large open space in the south of the city, a towering tent stands very prominently, and countless small bunting banners flutter in the wind.
Occasionally, a few small trumpets sounded, and even though they were still a little far from their destination, they could already hear the slightly noisy crowd there.
"Welcome to the Eight Wonders Circusβ"
As soon as he approached the simple open-air gate, two teenagers who looked exactly the same greeted him. And after a polite bow, face to face with them to extend their hands to do the introduction and welcome.
"Hello, may I ask which tent the administrator is in, we applied for the job after reading the news in the newspaper." Rin took out the contents of the newspaper from his pocket and handed it to the two teenagers.
The boy didn't take over the newspaper clipping, just looked at it, and then said in unison, "It turns out that I came to apply, and the administrator lives in the performance studio in the middle." The last one to the right, the red one. β
The two teenagers at the same time turned their hands only in the direction behind them.
Although there were two people standing in front of them, they had a very tacit understanding in both words and actions. It's as if a whole person has been cut into two, and there is no difference between them.
"What kind of rare public holiday, it's not like I'm working again." Talos muttered quietly after hearing the word application.
Sure enough, as long as Rin smiled like that, she didn't have any good ideas.
Talos sighed secretly, this master, he really knows too well.
As long as she can make money, it is no problem for her to work all year round. And after having the contract spirit of Talos, he got a double income of working multiplied by two.
This is simply making Rin very happy.
"Huh? Talos, what do you say? Rin Rin looked back, always feeling as if Talos had just said something, but she didn't hear it too clearly.
The only thing she was sure of was that it wasn't a good word.
"Nope!"
At this moment, Talos had a strong desire to survive, and immediately denied it.
After thanking the two teenagers standing at the door, Rin entered the circus with Talos.
"Eight Wonders Circus"
As he entered, Talos glanced back at the tag above.
It may be the first time to come to this kind of place, and the noisy crowd and the variety of spirits and beasts make Talos unspeakably uncomfortable.
There was even an urge to get out of here right away.
But at this moment, he knew why Rin had hidden that he was going to work in the circus all the way.
Because, if Talos had known early on, with his clean nature, he would not have been willing to come to such a mixed and somewhat messy place.
Even though Rin Rin has always subdued people with violence, Talos's small temperament and the pitiful little eyes that are natural and pitiful like small animals, Rao Rin can't bear it.
It's just here now, even if Talos wants to leave. Hmph, he can't leave either!
Rin was overjoyed, but Talos was silent.
The two of them came to the red tent in the depths of the circus, which the two teenagers were referring to. Just as he was about to lift the curtain, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Oh, who are you?"
Turning around, there was a long-haired woman in a cheongsam skirt standing behind her. She held a hand-woven black leather whip in her hand, and at her feet crawled an unknown little spirit beast with lilac fur all the time.
"We're here to apply, isn't this where the circus caretaker lives?"
"Great, I'm still worried about this, why no one has applied for the advertisement for a long time." The woman clapped her hands with a happy face, and then said, "Come in." He took the lead in lifting the red tent and walked in.
Looks like she's the administrator.
Rin thought so, and walked into the red tent with Talos.
The tent didn't seem to be very big from the outside, but when they walked in, they found that the space inside was much more spacious than they had imagined.
There was no sleeping place in the tent, but there were large brick-red chests and a workbench. On the countertop were candles, lamps, and some scraps of leather, as well as various finished products scattered about, and scrapped leather items.
"Oh, my room is so messy, you don't have a place to sit." The woman was embarrassed to pick up a few unfinished leather goods on the ground and threw them into the open box behind her.
"You guys just sit on the box over there, because I don't usually have anyone here, so that's why I ......" The woman smiled sheepishly and pointed to the large box behind Rinrin.
"It's okay, I'll just stand." She waved her hand, just looking at the messy room, presumably Talos didn't want to stay in such a place for too long.
"Okay, then let's talk about why you want to apply for a job at the circus."
The woman no longer had no sense of being polite to them, but sat down in a chair beside the workbench and took out a slender lady's cigarette from a drawer and lit it.
The inside of the tent is already dim, and the red walls are faintly reflected, with a slightly ghostly atmosphere.
A wisp of smoke floated out of the woman's mouth, and her eyes narrowed narrowly, as if she wanted to see through the person in front of her.
