"I didn't mean to, who knew that guy was so unbeaten." Luca picked up the jug and poured water into her stomach, in the scarce city of Ammualand, water is a very precious resource, and it can even be exchanged for all kinds of good things in the Mole Spirit Bazaar, but no one seems to do this.

"I said—" Luca tilted her head to look at Cole, who was crouching not far away, "what is that—Lolo, why aren't you leaving?" Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? ”

"My name is Cole-Lo-Cole-"

"You can call it whatever you want, why don't you go quickly? I just didn't like that old guy, but I didn't want to help you. Luca continued to drink the sweet water from the jug, the smell of trees, and she didn't know how long she hadn't had a good drink. Luca's afterglow still hadn't left Cole, whether out of vigilance or for some other reason. I saw Cole's watery eyes staring at the water in Luca's hand, licking his lips and two hairy ears hanging listlessly.

"Hey—" Luca put the jug on the ground and gestured her finger at Cole, "Come over and have a drink." Hurry up and leave after drinking. ”

Cole's ears stood up, and his surprised and somewhat humble demeanor clearly expressed how much inhuman treatment he had received. "Is that okay?" Cole asked, his body had quickly reached the jug, and he picked up the jug with both hands and put his head up.

"Hmm-" Lucca smacked her lips as she looked at the cat in front of her, reaching out and pinching the cat's ears.

"Hey!" Cole hurriedly put down the jug and moved it back, covering his ears with his hands, "What are you doing!" ”

"—Hurry up and drink, and walk away for me when you're done." Luca looked away and raised her voice a little, "If you don't leave, I'll eat you." No one will know about it anyway. ”

"But I can't go." Cole's voice was as small as a mosquito's cry, but Luca's long ears could hear it clearly.

"Hey, you don't really want to be eaten, do you?"

"No, I don't want to."

"Then you're not leaving?"

"I can't go—"

"Okay, if you don't go, I'll go." Luca packed his bags and walked towards the border quickly, but before he could go far, a magic array in the hand of the man who had bullied Luca before spread out in front of him, the light dissipated, and Cole appeared in front of Luca with his chin in his hand, shaking his head helplessly.

"I mean, I can't go."

Luca rushed forward and grabbed Cole by the collar and asked, "What's going on?" What kind of conspiracy is this? You're in cahoots with that old guy, aren't you? ”

"No, it's not—" Cole hurriedly explained, "This is contract magic, the nobleman just now is my master, if you kill him, the contract magic will be transferred to you, and now you are my master-"

"Damn? - Luca let go of Cole's grip and scratched her ear, "How could there be such a strange thing?" ”

"Now that you and I are in a contractual relationship, I can't get too far away from you, so-"

"Hello?! I don't need a contract, anything! Go away, or I'll beat you!" Luca pushed Cole away and sped up running, running all the way back to his cave, throwing himself directly onto the shabby mat and panting, "I sweated so much, and I drank in vain." ”

"I can help—" Cole's voice rang out in his ears, and the hairs on Luca's ears exploded, and she crawled into the corner.

"What's the matter with you?" Luca pulled out her dagger and held it in front of her, "Don't you come—"

"Ugh." Kele could only reluctantly shrink on the other side of the cave, "I don't want to be a master and servant with you, although the previous master was very unreasonable, but at least there is still something to eat, I think I will die with you." ”

Luca looked at the bread basket in the corner of the wall, picked one that was still 'fresh' and threw it to Cole, "Eat, when you're full, give me a way to solve this magic." Also, even though I've been called a thief, I'm not a bad person. ”

Cole took the bread and chewed it heavily, obviously hungry, "Don't do anything bad - if you hadn't robbed me of my things, I wouldn't have been beaten by my master." ”

"I'm going to live." Luca snorted, fiddling with what little bread she had, "I stole this food a dozen days ago. ”

"Hmm." Cole choked on this, sniffed the bread carefully, but did not speak, and continued to eat.

The light projected from outside the cave drew a separation zone between the two, and the two looked at each other wordlessly for an unknown amount of time-

"Yawn—" Luca rubbed her eyes, her ears drooping, but she still didn't dare to sleep.

"Why don't you sleep?" Cole's whisper was the first to break the silence.

"I'm not sleepy." Luca yawned, acting without any attempt to hide her sleepiness.

"Obviously you want to sleep."

"I don't want to." Luca leaned back against the wall alertly, "I'm asleep, what are you going to do if you kill me?" ”

"Poof-" Cole couldn't help but laugh, it seemed like Luca hadn't heard it in a long time, and every day he heard the most was the roar of the wind and sand and the bad words of others.

"I won't hurt you, because of the contract, if you die, I'll die too." Cole yawned too, shrunk back and cupped his tail in his arms, "You don't sleep—then I'll sleep." ”

Seeing the cat in front of him fall asleep tiredly, Lucca carefully moved forward, getting closer to each other little by little, until Cole's breathing was clear in his ears.

"Hey-" Luca poked Cole lightly, but the other party didn't react, and Luca began to talk to himself again, "He can't kill me, and he didn't say I can't kill him—"

"A servant can't kill his master, so he can't say that a master can't kill a servant—"

"It's a problem for me to eat alone, how can I bring another oil bottle."

Luca muttered, slowly raising her dagger.

The world is on the verge of collapse, and Luca has seen more things that have no bottom line and no humanity, but at the moment he is still turbulent in his heart.

"Hmm-" Cole squirmed, his tail slipping out of his hands, and a twitch of his ears made Luca shudder.

"It's kind of interesting—"
