Chapter Twenty-Nine: A New Home
"Jingle jingle jingle bell. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" The sudden sound of the alarm clock woke the crow from the dream, and when he opened his eyes, he saw not the roof of the familiar, antique mansion, but the unfamiliar ceiling. It was only then that the crow remembered that he had left the city that he loved and hated and came to a new world, thinking that this ceiling would accompany him for a long time, perhaps, longer than he imagined?
Under the ceiling, there is a very ordinary residential bedroom, the walls are painted goose yellow, the furnishings are very simple, only two wardrobes, a bookshelf, a desk and a bed, the furniture is covered with coarse cloth, the coarse cloth is covered with dust, and there are a few cobwebs in the corner that have not had time to be cleaned, and it looks like an empty room that no one has lived in for a long time. It was late when the three of them came back last night, and after arranging the room for the crow, they simply changed the bedding, and they could only find another time to really clean seriously.
However, think about it carefully, will it be cleaned seriously, this is a very serious problem, Rose and the female leopard as mercenaries, the ability to withstand the environment is quite strong, when necessary, they can also sleep in the sludge, let them clean the room, not a matter of not being able to do it, but a question of whether they want to do it, if they really have this heart, I am afraid that these original guest rooms will not be so favored by dust.
As for letting the crow clean up by himself, it was just whimsical, an heir to the lord of the city, surrounded by nine maids, if he still had to clean the room by himself, it would only be a bad joke.
"Well, I suddenly regretted it a little, underestimating the difficulties. The crow sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the pile of dirty clothes on the chair, scratched his head in distress, and said to himself, "Sister Yue shouldn't be so decisive, think about it carefully, I need her more than Xiaosi, I knew that if I brought her together, all the problems would be solved, alas, it's a pity, why didn't I think of it earlier." ”
Sighing helplessly, the crow jumped directly on the windowsill, and for the problem that he couldn't solve, put it aside for the time being, this is the way of smart people, of course, it is also the practice of lazy people. The crow simply ignored the trouble of cleaning the room, and habitually squatted on the windowsill and looked out the window.
The headquarters of the Fire Rose Office is not stationed on the outskirts of the city like those large mercenary groups, and the small team of only three people does not need those training grounds and material storage sites, so this is an ordinary commercial street close to the city, and the office is at the end of the street.
The streets are not bustling, there are only seven or eight shops, and it is past nine o'clock, but there are not many pedestrians on the streets, and it is not known how these shops feed themselves. But if you think about it carefully, whether it is a restaurant, a daily necessities store, a clothing store, or a food store, it is indispensable to life, relying on the residents around the street and some small and medium-sized mercenary groups nearby, they have no problem supporting themselves with their shops.
"What time are the two lazy girls going to sleep, and they said that they would take me out for a walk in the morning, and sure enough, the words of women cannot be fully believed, well, it seems that the words of men are the same, I am so smart. "It's boring enough to babble and amuse itself with nonsense, but the crow doesn't intend to wake up the rose and the leopard female, not because of any danger, it's just the politeness of the opposite sex in the upbringing of the city aristocracy.
Just like the day after they first met, the crow would rather crouch outside the window and wait for half an hour than knock on the window to wake up the two ladies without an exact time and no emergency, and of course, if necessary, the crow would not mind smashing the glass to go in and see the beautiful sleeping position.
"Forget it, it's such a nice weather, let's go out for a walk first, anyway, there's this thing, hell, is this forcing me to get my ears pierced." The crow checked the two earrings and a lavalier in his hand, this is the internal communicator specially customized by the Fire Rose Office, in fact, it is a miniature radio, and the encrypted coverage can reach a radius of five kilometers, as long as the crow is not idle and has nothing to run out of the city, basically in every corner of the chaotic city, you can receive the call of the other party. The crow tossed the communicator over and over again, and finally put it in his pocket, and said distressedly, "Wear it, and then talk about it, it's time to go shopping." ”
Facing the bright sunshine, under the gaze of the passers-by below like crazy people, the crow jumped down from the second floor, quietly landed on the ground, straightened his clothes like a gentleman, and waved his hand to the fruit shop clerk who was stunned and looked at him across the street, revealing a bright smile, "Yo, morning." ”
The young female clerk looked at the door of the office three meters away, then at the window on the second floor, and then at the smiling man in black across the street, and it took five seconds to throw the question of why he didn't go out of her mind, and the corners of her mouth twitched reluctantly, pretending that she had already done it: "Morning." ”
"It's more convenient. The crow assumed a self-conscious posture and said with a smile, "We will be neighbors for a long time to come." ”
"What?" the female clerk let out an exclamation that was close to a shout, and although she covered her mouth in time, she still caught the attention of everyone within a few dozen meters of the surrounding area. Accompanied by a smile to make an apologetic expression to those people, the female clerk stared at the crow with round eyes, the curiosity in her eyes was almost substantial, if it wasn't for the other party's identity, I'm afraid she would have grabbed the crow's collar, but fortunately, she still restrained herself, and asked excitedly, "You, you said you want to live in this office permanently?"
"A woman's terrible curiosity. The crow sighed secretly, deeply uneasy that there would be such a neighbor in the future. However, the smile on his face remained the same, and he nodded and said, "That's right, I'm their new teammate and mercenary, you can call me a crow." Well, I still want to call the deceased, is it really so shameful to use this name?"
"Crows. The clerk looked up at the seven or eight crows that had been entrenched on the eaves at some point, lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Do you really want to live here? God, you don't know, no man has ever lived here." ”
"People always have to have a first time, and architecture is no different. The young female clerk of the Crow Team blinked ambiguously, looked at the girl's flushed cheeks with a smile, took a step closer and asked, "I want to be familiar with this street now, and in addition, I want to go to the exchange office, but I just came to the city of chaos, and I am not familiar with the place, I really hope that a beautiful girl can be my tour guide, I don't know if this beautiful young lady is willing to help." ”
"I, I still have to look at the store. The female clerk's face was hot, and she said wryly, "The boss can't be busy alone." ”
"I don't think so. The crow smiled and said, "I will be a regular customer of this shop in the future, and the boss must prefer to work hard for a while." Moreover, you are so beautiful, I have a hunch that there must be a dress in that clothing store that suits you particularly well, waiting for you to meet it, and in order to express my gratitude for your selfless help, I am going to buy it and give it to you. ”
"I'm going to take a leave of absence right away. A second later, the girl had run back to the shop, leaving the crow pushing her glasses in place, letting out a wry laugh.
