Chapter 5: The Last Lunch
"Alicia!"
Looking at Alicia, who had saved his life, Carl jumped up from the bed in excitement and hugged Alicia without even putting on his boots.
"Poof. Under the onslaught of Karl's brutal body, Alicia was undoubtedly knocked off balance...... But she didn't fall, and two people behind her grabbed her.
"Isara, Virkin, are you here too?~" Seeing that the four people of the original Edelweiss were all together, Carl didn't mention how happy he was.
'Sure enough, the love of carrying a gun and fighting together is the most unforgettable~'
Spreading his not very wide arms, Karl greedily swept the three of them like three fish.
"Okay~Carl, don't make trouble~ It's very painful~"
"Be careful, Carl, your wound will open again!"
"I can handle it. β
Looking at the two strange girls and their brother hugging each other freely, several Hansa girls didn't know what 1 would think.
"There's no way, who let the family experience the most wonderful parts of life together, and have withstood the test~'This is what the Hansa girls think."
"By the way, why haven't you left? I thought you had already left. After the hug ended, Carl asked Alicia curiously.
"Haha~ Actually......" scratched her face, Alicia didn't know what she wanted to say
"Actually, Alicia and the others should have evacuated with the residents of Bruru by now, but they insisted on staying in order to see you. β
Another person walked in, the tour guide...... Soldier Piaica,
"Ah, Mr. Piica, too, but is that good? You have your own mission, right? Is it really okay to accompany us unrelated people like this?"
Tessa is Tessa in the end, she is kind-hearted and thoughtful. Even the position of others has been taken into account.
"Haha, it's okay, the eastern sentry box has been removed, and I am standing on the last shift this morning. Pieka explained to the crowd.
"But even so...... There are still other tasks delegated from above, right? Don't you need to report back to the headquarters?" Isara still has such a serious and serious style.
"There's no need to worry about that. As she spoke, Pieka had a hint of loss on her face.
"Is something wrong?" Seeing that Pieka seemed to have something on his mind, Karl instinctively guessed
"Yes, in fact......" looked up at the people in the room, hesitated, and said Piaica:
"The command has been withdrawn. β
"Shenma?!"*N
After listening to Piaica's explanation, everyone knew that the original commander had been transferred to the west, and the newly appointed commander had not yet arrived, so now the Gallia army in Lando Barcelona was almost scattered. It was divided into separate parts, consisting of militia units from various self-defense regiments that had withdrawn to Lando Bassa, remnants of the northern militia composed of remnants of troops withdrawn from the north, and local guard units composed of local garrisons. In the end, it was voluntarily recruited, and the four parts of the volunteer army were temporarily recruited, and the four parts of the troops did not belong to each other, did not coordinate with each other, and were completely independent of each other.
"Now there is no coordination at all among the various forces, there is no coordination at all. It's a terrible situation for a soldier to not know who to listen to, and a commander who his soldier is. β
Saying that, Pieka sighed in frustration, he was genuinely worried about the future of Lando Barcelona.
"Gollum~" Carl felt like he could find a hole to get into.
"I'm sorry!" Karl shyly covered his flushed face, feeling very embarrassed
"Haha~ Before you know it's almost lunchtime, let's go to Maria's restaurant for a light meal~ Maria's boss's craftsmanship is quite good~" Pieka saw that Carl was already hungry.
"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go!"
'Karl...... It seems to be very afraid of going hungry...... 'That's pretty much the consensus of everyone who knows Carl.
ββββββββββ Mary's Restaurant ββββββββββββ[[[CP|.] W:350|H:235|A:L|U:http://file1.qidian.com/chapters/201311/9/3024026635195523881151159855338.jpg]]]] "Ahhhh
"Ahh
"Ahh
..............................
I don't know how long this conversation lasted, but I saw that the dishes stacked in front of Carl were already stacked up on a high hill.
I don't know how long it took......
"Ah~~ Finally full~~" Ignoring the circle of friends in front of him who were already completely speechless and looking at him eating, Carl happily patted his belly that was not bulging at all, and said with satisfaction that he didn't care
'You're finally full!'
These are the words that everyone said with waterfall sweat in their hearts, from the bottom of their hearts!
"I always feel that Carl's size is completely disproportionate to the amount of food," Alicia thought, trying not to show a surprised expression
'How did she manage to eat so much and be so slim?' Isara's eyes widened in confusion.
'Biologically inexplicable, what the hell is going on?' thought Welgin, who touched his chin.
'It's over, we've lost all of our faces with this foodie!' These are the girls of the Hanssa
"Hey~Don't worry, there's still something good here~"
At this moment, the proprietress Maria came out of the kitchen with a large plate.
"Aunt Maria, what is this?" Karl asked curiously, pointing to the huge plate in front of him.
The answer was immediately revealed. Dangdang~~"
Smiling, Maria opened her plate.
In an instant, the hot water vapor envelops the rich aroma of barbecue.
On the dinner plate, there is a roasted flying pig that is not small on the outside and tender on the inside. (Hans in Valkyrie is this)
'What is this?' Karl, who has no knowledge of this world biology at all, said he had no idea what it was
"Flying Pig?!, or almost an adult!" Seeing a creature that is rarely seen in biology, Virgin finally had a rare gaffe.
"It seems to be cherished~" Alicia also knows about this precious animal
"It's so cute, it's a pity to eat it. Looking at the cute fragrant pig, Isara was a little unbearable
"I see, it's called Feitian Xiang Pig~ It seems to be very precious?" Listening to the emotions of the aborigines around him, Carl knew the value of this dish.
"Maria, how did you do what you raised for so many years?!Didn't you say that you were going to leave it for your family when Lilu got married......?
Anyone present at Piaikabi, a perennial patron of the Maria Hotel, understands the value of this roast pig. It was one of the most precious and valuable things in Maria's shop.
Maria didn't say anything, just shook her head silently.
"I was going to do that, but we're leaving here tomorrow, and Ruth is too big to take the car with him. Instead of leaving it to the emperor, it's better to let everyone eat happily~" Maria smiled helplessly
"Mom~"
At this time, a little Lori with blond hair in a double ponytail about ten years old ran out of the kitchen.
"Ah, Lilu, how did you get here?" asked Maria when she saw her daughter running out of the house
"I saw Uncle Hank's family next door was packing up, so it's weird, come over ......"
Suddenly, little Lori saw the roasted flying pig on the table, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
"Wow~~~~~~ Ruth is dead! Ruth ~~~~~!"
Little Lori cried out loud in front of everyone. While crying, he shouted Ruth's name sadly.
"Why? Why did you kill Ruth? Didn't Mom say Ruth flew away? Didn't he say he would go back to his house to reunite with Mom? Why is he dead now? Mom lied! Liar! Wow~~~~~ Ruth! Wow~~~~!"
Seeing that Ruth, who had been with him since he was a child, could no longer play with him, Lilu cried sadly.
"Alright, Lilou, now that there's a guest, have you forgotten what Mommy said? Seeing her daughter crying so sadly, Maria herself was also very sad, her husband left her early, she endured so much hardship and pain in order to pull Lilu up, worked hard and failed in her career for so many years, and finally with the help of the kind residents, Maria's restaurant was run in an orderly and prosperous manner, just when she felt that a happy life was coming, the war broke out, and the restaurant had to be forced to close.
Starting tomorrow, he and his daughter will have to be displaced and helpless again. I have stayed in Lando Barcelona for more than 20 years in my life and have never left here. She knows it, knows it, loves it, and depends on it. But, tomorrow, everything here will no longer belong to her, and she will no longer belong here. She will become helpless, wandering and adrift in strange places.
Thinking...... Thinking...... Mary's eyes were moist.
Seeing that the atmosphere of the scene was getting heavier, Carl turned to look at Carrasti
"Karasti. Turning around, Carl called out to the cold girl softly.
"Huh?" said Karasti, struggling to move his eyes from the roast pig to Carl's side.
'This foodie (are you embarrassed to say someone else?),' said Karl at the sight of Carrasti
Seeing that Carrasti had turned his attention to himself, Carl quietly reached out his left hand and made a gesture that only his peers who had been in class since elementary school and who had been doing small movements in class knew about it
'Give me the chocolate bar,' Karl gestured
'?' Carrasti pretended to be stupid
'Give me the chocolate bar!' Carl continued gesturing
Calasty continued to play dumb
If your sister doesn't give me the chocolate bar, I'll never let you eat any sweets from today onwards, and let you eat your favorite carrots every day, let you eat instant noodles and never have a pack, play with your face every day while you sleep, and put the caterpillar you fear the most in your bed to make you have endless fun every night!
I really admire how Carl can express such a complex meaning with one hand.
"Huh!"
A chocolate bar flew over.
"Staringβ" This is Carl
"Huh!"
Another chocolate bar flew over.
"Stareβ" It's Carl again
"Whoa!"
A bunch of chocolate bars of all kinds flew over.
"Da da......" was the footsteps of Carrasti absconding in fear of crime.
Holding a chocolate bar in his hand, Carl put on a kind expression and walked over to the mother and daughter who were crying together
"Little sister~Don't cry~Look~ This is delicious~" Carl took out his own method of coaxing Tessa since he was a child to deal with little Lori.
Glancing at the chocolate in Carl's hand, little Lori hesitated, but still said resolutely: "Don't!
"O(β©_β©)O~hehe~" There was a faint laugh from the table behind him.
'Those stinky girls, they know they're messing with me. 'I silently vomited in my heart about the gang of girls in my family. Karl pondered a new tactic.
'It's not easy to do, it's not easy to tempt little Lori if she is alert...... Ahem, ahem, it's hard to coax. It seems that the bait needs to be increased...... Chips will do!'
Ruthless, Carl touched his pocket, turned on his solar super long standby, and turned it into game mode. Hand it to Lori.
"What is this?" Seeing the villain and animation flashing on the small mobile phone screen, little Lori's interest was instantly aroused.
"This is called a mobile phone, this is a game, this is a game called Super Mario, this is called Tetris, this is called Bloody Soccer ......"
Holding the mobile phone, Carl patiently explained carefully to the little Lori. I have to say that children's receptivity and learning ability are strong, and in less than a while, they can start playing on their own without Carl's help and teaching.
"Haha~ This is really interesting!Big sister, can you lend me this for a while?~" Little Lori showed extremely eager eyes, looking at Carl with big innocent eyes full of anticipation.
"Sure enough, Lori is so loving~" Seeing that little Lori had forgotten her tears and sadness, Carl felt very relieved, and didn't even care about being called a sister, "Sister is sister~ After all, it's a little Lori~ Wearing the skin of a pseudo-mother also has this kind of benefit~'Carl, who was completely upset by Little Lori's cute expression, didn't even want what little discipline he had left.
"Is it?~If you like it, I'll give it to you~" Carl said to Lori with a smile
"Really?!Thank you, sister~" Little Lori smiled happily
"Thank you for your kindness, we can't ask for such a valuable thing. At this time, Maria's mother hurriedly said, she was next to her just now, and saw the colorful animations and sounds on the screen. She knew very well that this magical thing must have extraordinary value.
"No, Aunt Maria, I didn't give it to Lilou, I lent it to her. Carl explained
"Borrow?" Mary didn't understand.
"Yes, borrowed," Karl said
"When this war is over, when you come back here with your daughter, when all the suffering has passed, I will come here, to the Maria Hotel. to get my stuff back. With that, Carl put the phone in Lilou's hand along with the chocolate.
"Thank you, sister~" Lilu was very happy to hear that she could still play for a long time.
"This ...... How embarrassing is this...... "Mother Maria couldn't hear what Carl meant, and was moved to tears.
"We agreed that when the war was over, my friends and I would meet again in this hotel, so we ......"
After a pause, Karl looked at Maria earnestly
"Don't lose it!"
Maria didn't say anything more, just nodded firmly.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Ha~ I didn't expect to eat so many stories after a meal, but it's a pity that the legendary flying roast suckling pig is cold. Walking out of Maria's restaurant, looking at the roast pig he had packed and taken away, and a separate takeaway, Carl muttered to himself.
"Where's Lilia? She hasn't eaten yet, has she?"
After wandering around for a long time, Carl didn't find Lilia
"Are you lost?or are you running away?how is it possible~" I thought of a few possibilities at random, but they were easily rejected by Carl himself.
"Carl, what are you doing here?" said Lilia's voice behind her.
"Ah, Lilia, I brought you a takeout, and the flying roast suckling pig~"
Lighting up the fast food box and the whole bag of roast pig in his hand, Carl said proudly
"Is it a flying pig~ Forget it, don't talk about it. Just now I took a look at the entire Lando BarΓ§a's city defense system and force command system. I have some ideas and want to talk to you. β
After taking the fast food box and finding a random place to sit down, Lilia began to gobble up the boxed lunch.
"Hey, there's no need to be in such a hurry, is there?" Karl persuaded as Lilia gobbled up.
"There's no way, I've gotten used to it for the past few years. Lilia, who had finished her lunch box in the blink of an eye, opened the paper bag again and began to eat the flying pig
"The taste is okay, the pigs are raised very carefully, the roasting and the heat are also good, but the seasoning is a little worse......" The eldest lady very professionally evaluated this rare delicacy that the commoner could not eat once in his life.
"By the way, Lilia, you just said that you looked at the city defense, how do you feel?"
Remembering Lilia's words, Carl asked
"It's nothing, it's just that there's no drama at all. As she chewed the meat, Lilia spoke her thoughts clearly, not knowing how she did it.
"It's no fun at all...... What does that mean?" said Piica, but Karl has a little hope for the defense of Lando Barca.
"After all, it's the middle of the city, so it's not too much, right?" was Carl's idea, but then, Lilia's words sent Carl to hell completely
"It's just that there's no drama at all. Another leg of pig, Lilia continued
"If nothing else, the city's defenses will completely collapse before the enemy can storm the city. β
Lilia chewed on the pork as if she were drinking cold water, telling the brutal truth
"Auto-disintegrate?!"
