After roughly calculating the operating costs of the nursery with the most concise model, and making a difference between the data released by the front desk people, Link swallowed hard.

One day, when everything is over...... Link thought that he was going to open a breeding house to improve his life - he naturally ignored the fact that the huge profits of the breeding house were built on its fame, which was too far away, but if there was a day when everything was closed and he went to the countryside, Cammy's name would be worth a lot of money.

It's just that since when did Link become enthusiastic about "making himself worth a good price", and a little more radical, "selling himself for a good price"? Supporting travel with the treatment of an assistant to the institute, and having many benefits from the alliance to ensure facilities, even if it is not a little cheap from Zhulan, he is now only from a material point of view, even better than the days when he came to reach out for food and open his mouth in his previous life......

Linyuan envy fish, it is better to retreat and close the net.

Link put aside these thoughts, picked up a huge bucket full of water, and went to give help to the nurses who were about to bathe the elves. When he was in the research institute, he had been struggling with how to clean the elves with high body surface temperatures, and he happened to take advantage of the opportunity of a lava snail among the purged elves......

On the other hand, unlike Link, who has always had all kinds of chaotic thoughts, Zhulan has been immersed in the work of taking care of the elves. It's been a long time since she's been systematically doing this thing that pleases her physically and mentally.

Long to ...... When was the last time you did this? Probably, before I left Baidai City for the first time.

It has to be said that although the nursery is a little snobbish in its treatment of elves - it seems that this is not a good assessment, after all, given the cost, it is natural for those who pay more to enjoy better service - but it has always been very friendly when it comes to people.

Being invited by the owner of the house to stay for dinner is something they will not refuse. Contrary to Link's suspicions, the meal was not served at one of the large indoor tables that gave a sense of seriousness, but around round tables in the courtyard, where the owner, staff, and guests sat together, and between the tables and the legs of the chairs occasionally popped up a serpentine bear or something like that.

This kind of vacation party-like dinner format made Link feel so comfortable that he made a large pot full of ...... for each meal, even when he was alone in the wilderness, who had to cook four dishes and one soup per meal Volcanic snow is something that is obviously insincere, but it seems to be very appropriate to show your joy.

"Managing such a large breeding house, grandparents must have worked very hard. Link swallowed the contents of his mouth and whispered to the housekeeper and his wife at the same table.

"Haha, there is indeed some hard work, but the children who come to work here are very hard, and the normal operation of this breeding house depends on their efforts. The man replied a little shyly.

"It's not a lot of fun if we think of it as a job, but taking care of elves is what we love the most, so we don't feel too tired. The hostess replied with a kind smile on her face.

What a perfect and general answer...... Link thought he would say the same thing himself. Then, following the line of "taking care of elves is our favorite thing", he kept asking all kinds of flattering questions in a respectful tone.

Act like a curious little child.

This made Zhulan on the side couldn't help but look at Link with some confusion. Why did Link act so normal? so normal that it was almost exactly the same as the child she had when she first visited a place like the Breeding House. But such a "normal" Link is obviously abnormal.

Link's normal state continued, and they left the nursery. After declining the offer to stay overnight, Link and Zhulan rushed to the Elven Center in the night.

The night was not clear, but the clouds were not gloomy, with a few bits of starlight and a not-so-clear moonlight, combined with the dim street lamps along the way, creating an atmosphere that was so quiet that people felt disheartened.

"I didn't like the dinner just now. Link suddenly said this, and then startled himself, except for Shui Jing's suspected of being put on the spot by the owner of the Green Ridge Pavilion that time, when did he start to tell what was in his heart?

"Why, the feeling of returning to your true self already makes you feel uncomfortable?" Zhulan certainly doesn't think Link means that the food is not tasty. She thought it was Link who was a little embarrassed by his uncontrollable childishness.

Link didn't answer immediately, the line of defense he had built to protect his true thoughts seemed to be softening in front of Zhulan, and he realized it.

"Ahhhh

Link covered his face with his arms and fingers frantically scratched his hair, an exaggerated display of his shame - but this was an act that only Cami would do, and Link was only reinforcing the defenses.

"Giggles......" Zhulan happily watched Link play, she didn't know it was a pretending childish temper.

Link was a little envious of the existence of "Cammy" at this time, but he quickly suppressed this thought.

What he really didn't like about that dinner was that the atmosphere of that dinner was very similar to the cheerful and relaxed meal he remembered with family and friends, but the actual feeling was very different, and that feeling was a little bit of a touch when he was with Odamaki, a good old man, and a small part when he was with Rika Daigo Zhulan, but there was no ......... at all at the dinner at the breeding house where the atmosphere was so similar on the outside

Even if Link pretended to be an idiot to cater to the atmosphere, he still couldn't feel it. This strong sense of disobedience made Link feel that his most precious and heartwarming memories had been insulted, and the two sides were blindly polite at dinner, and the smiles on their faces were polite......

Why is the atmosphere of sincere emotions arranged as a social ritual?
