Chapter 196: A Stranger's Request

I poked my head out from behind the street to make sure no one was paying attention to me on the entire highway, and then I walked out. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although I escaped the shooting, I had lost the chance to capture the enemy, and I couldn't keep floating on the Third Ring Road with the Levitation Charm.

So I quickly hid behind a nearby building.

I waited for a while before I cautiously slipped out.

"Kid, you're too weak"

"Okay, don't be sarcastic"

"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to bounce in my palm a few times."

"Oh~ Ellie, you use your words well after the break"

"Wow! Don't interrupt the little ghost!"

Ellie gave me a hard blow.

There is no way, I am the one who lost to that young man, and I am the one who lost him.

I really can't argue with Ellie's words.

You can only listen to the little one whining.

But after all, you can't let Elle make a big fuss on the road.

The consequences are even more severe.

"Hmph"

Ellie turned her head away with a look of disdain for me.

"Well, it's better than sitting in that box, though."

Ellie really doesn't seem to like buses.

"Since you've come to the human world, let's get used to it, didn't you say that elves have a strong ability to adapt?"

"Hey, that's the kind of thing, absolutely not"

Ellie stuck out her tongue in disgust.

Well, but speaking of which, in the whole of Elgonda and Red Cliff City, I really haven't seen a square building.

Only the Dawn Council is square.

It seems that the elves of the Dawn Mountains are very different in aesthetics from us humans.

"What's next?"

Elle sat on my shoulder, curiously looking at the shops on the street, and asked me.

"Uh, I have to go find Liu Xiao"

"Little girl, didn't she go home first?"

"Maybe that's a thing."

"The bus we took just now stopped halfway, I'm afraid we have to wait for the traffic police, and we will go back to the scene to repair it when it's over."

"Liu Xiao didn't have any money on him, so he couldn't change to the bus, and Bacheng was still waiting for us there."

"Anthracene~~~"

Ellie sighed as if surprised.

"Is there a soul link between you and the little girl?"

"Poof, how can there be, we're not elves"

"Then how can you be so clear?"

"Haha, this is called a tacit understanding between brothers and sisters."

"Oh......"

Ellie nodded approvingly.

"But mespil and Linda, don't they have this tacit understanding?"

"There must be, but you haven't found it yet."

"Hmmm......"

Ellie tilted her head back and closed her eyes, her hands in front of her chest, and she became seriously annoyed.

"Unbelief"

She closed her eyes and shook her head, and said two words.

"Did you think about it for a long time to come to this conclusion?"

"Sure enough, there's something special between you and the little girl"

Ellie stared at me with a serious face, her two small eyebrows pressed together, and she looked serious.

This expression came out of her face, and it didn't give me any impression other than being funny.

"Haha!"

"Uh——! what are you laughing at?"

"No, no, I just think you have cute times from time to time."

"Huh!?"

The little one let out a surprised and incredulous sound.

Then he turned back and looked at the shop on the side of the street, and stopped looking at me.

Why, is this crazy girl too shy?

But it helped me a lot, Elle stopped making trouble, and I also had time to sort out what I just did.

What's going on with all this......

"Hey, you"

There was a sound of running from behind, and at the same time someone shouted, startling me.

When I looked back, a man in a black suit was running towards me.

Should...... They're coming towards me, aren't they?

He ran out of breath.

With a square face and a pair of black thick-rimmed glasses, the atmosphere is a bit like that of our homeroom teacher.

He has black hair that is more than two inches long, and he looks very oily, and he doesn't know how long he hasn't washed it.

His hair was messed up, and he looked messy from running.

The white shirt looked casually worn, and a light gray tie was not tightly tied, floating around the chest, looking sloppy.

A pair of brown leather shoes, though not old, were covered in gray and seemed to have not been wiped since they were bought.

The man was clearly lacking in exercise, running slowly, and breathing was completely out of order.

"You ......"

“...... And so on."

He waved at me.

So I stopped and waited for him to catch up.

"Whoop—whoa—"

The man ran to a stop two meters away from me, supported his knees with both hands, and bent over to gasp for air.

"Well, I'm busy."

I didn't have time to wait for him to breathe steadily.

Instead of lifting up, he raised his hand and motioned for me to wait, allowing him to catch his breath first.

It took dozens of seconds for the middle-aged man to regain his breath.

Halfway through, I wondered if he would hang here just because he couldn't breathe.

He picked it up and reached into his pants pocket.

This action made me instinctively take a step back.

Just now on the highway, the thrilling scene is still floating in my mind.

Hey?

Unexpectedly, he pulled out a black wallet.

And not what weapons.

Whew-

I really am, that's normal.

"Please, whew, take this"

He handed me the wallet.

"Huh?"

I'm flustered.

What do you mean?

Seeing that I was hesitant, he opened my wallet.

It was a wallet with a wad of pink bills and a few cards.

"Please take it"

"Huh?"

It's getting more and more inexplicable.

What does this mean, MLM?

"Why give it to me?"

The middle-aged man glanced behind him, then turned back to stare at me.

There was a tiny crack in his glasses, as if it had been hit by something.

Got into a fight?

"Then please keep it for me, I'll come to you in a few days to pick it up"

It seems that this person is really in a situation where he can't carry his wallet with him?

"This ......"

I made a phone call gesture to him.

"Please call 110, no thanks"

I shook my head helplessly, and I could only sigh at how many people had escaped from the hospital recently.

Just as I was about to leave, he suddenly took a sharp step forward, shoved his wallet into my hand, and then turned and ran.

"Hey!"

Even though he was a slow runner, it wasn't hard for me to catch up with him.

But......

Well, I'll admit, these pink things are pretty big for my **.

"No, no, no!"

I shook my head, how can I do this, since it is deposited, then I will help take it.

When the time comes, when someone else wants to get this thing back, they will definitely give me a thank you fee, well, so be it.

Hey, hey, hey......

"Little ghost, what is this?"

"Wallet"

"Oh, I know, that's what I used to put money."

"Well, do you want to see it?"

"Forget it, I'm not interested, let's go find the little girl quickly"

Oh yes, Liu Xiao, I almost missed the right thing.

When I looked back again, the middle-aged man in the suit was standing on the side of the road, flagged down a taxi, and walked away.

Ay...... Anyway, his wallet is still with me, is that okay?
