22 The show begins
Early in the morning, in the Coral III warehouse.
Hawke and Sister Grains were busy early in the morning, clearing out all the clutter from the warehouse and piling it up in the courtyard.
"Are we moving?" I ran to help Hawke lift the big wooden box.
"No~" Hawke poked his head out from behind the box with a smile, "There's a big show to watch tonight!" ”
"Big play?"
"You'll find out by night!" He smiled mysteriously.
"Then why clean up the warehouse?" I'm still confused.
"To match the show! To put it more bluntly, all the rewards from the show are put in the warehouse! ”
"Rewards? What's the reward? "I was in good spirits.
"One hundred thousand... No, it's probably more than 200,000 fish balls!! He said with wide eyes and interest.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, get to work!" Sister Lilith chattered from the side.
Hawke stuck out his tongue at her and went on with his work.
"You stinky boy, since Ruixin lived here, you've been smiling like a flower every day!" My sister smiled helplessly.
"Oh, where is it!" Hawke's face immediately flushed.
"It's just... It's just because I haven't met a child of the same age for a long time!! He muttered.
Looking at Hawke, whose face was flushed, I felt a little relieved.
Although we are about the same age, Hawke has a much deeper understanding of the laws of survival in this world than I do!
I can't imagine what my life would be like now if I hadn't met Uncle Luo and everyone in Coral III, and maybe I wouldn't exist in this world a long time ago, right?
(Think you're lucky!) )
"By the way, what about Uncle Kree?" I asked.
"He's working on Coral II~" Hawke replied as he busied.
"Number two? Where is that? ”
"Right down here!" Hawke held out his index finger and pointed to the ground on the bottom of his foot.
"Underground??"
"Yes, the entire Coral Two is located under the ground of the Coral Three, and the entire office is about the same size as the entire Coral Three building!"
"I see. What's in there? "I'm interested.
"It's... We don't know, after all, only Uncle Luo and Uncle Cree can go in. He scratched his head and said.
"I see! The entrance to that place wouldn't be at the end of the corridor on the second floor of Coral Three, right? I shouted my guesses.
Suddenly I remembered the end of the hallway I had gone to when I first followed Uncle Kree.
"Isn't it okay to just stand there and say some kind of incantation from your mouth, 'Boom!' Teleport into a secret base underground!? I gestured with my teeth and claws.
"Uh," Hawk looked at me froze, "like... It's just an ordinary way to open the door with a key and get in..."
"Ahh Cut! I pouted, a little disappointed.
"You think it's a cartoon... Huh? Cartoon? Hawke laughed, and suddenly frowned again.
"Cartoon...? This term sounds familiar... However, suddenly I can't remember what it is. He muttered.
"I think it sounds familiar, too!" I like the channel.
"Could it be a memory from before entering the concentration camp?" I guessed.
"Well, it's possible! But why do even you know about it? He was a little confused.
"I'm afraid it's something that children generally like, right?" Sister Lilith replied.
She was holding a needle and thread in her hand, knitting something like a cloth bag.
"What are you doing here?" Curious, I walked over and observed.
"Use it to pack up and sell you little fool!" My sister smiled and put the bag over my head.
"Well, it's quite fragrant inside, a sister's smell!"
"It's the smell of perfume, right~" Hawke shrugged his shoulders on the side, looking world-weary, "Heh, woman! ”
"Yo yo yo, what's wrong with the little handsome guy Hawke?" My sister smiled evilly.
"No... It's nothing! It's just that I think of that guy Ariel, who sprays such fragrant perfume every time he goes out, and dresses up so brightly! But at home, I don't even want to take a shower once a day! As he spoke, his little face flushed, and his eyes began to wander.
"Alas~ yes, after all, if she doesn't take a bath, some people won't have a chance to peek~"
"Ahhh What are you talking nonsense!?? Hawke was in a hurry, and accidentally dropped the wooden box in his hand on the ground and smashed his own foot.
"Hawke—" I looked at his face in silence.
"Don't... Don't look at me like that!! He covered his face in annoyance.
"Sister Lilith is really, she talks to Ruixin all day long!" He grumbled, pouting and continuing to lift the box.
"By the way, what about Sister Ariel and Big Brother Fred?" I asked.
"It's Fred! Big Brother Fred! Hawke corrected.
"They're the protagonists of tonight's big show~," Sister Lilith said.
"They're actors?" I was pleasantly surprised.
"Hehe... Actors? My sister raised her head and looked out the window, "After all, we are all actors under Uncle Luo~"
"Huh?" I tilted my head, unable to understand the meaning of his words.
……
"Alright! The miscellaneous items in the warehouse have been transferred, and they are waiting to pick up the big brother and them at night! Hawke clapped his hands and said.
"Thank you for your hard work~ Then leave the work of cleaning up the clutter to me, you go cook!" My sister stood up and said.
"Phew~ I'm cooking again..."Hawke walked to the kitchen with his head down, "Anyway, that Ariel guy hasn't cooked in two weeks!" He muttered into the kitchen.
I looked at his back and shifted my gaze to the large piles of debris piled up in the courtyard and hallway.
