"I know you're hungry, look." Luca opened a box in the corner of the table, which was full of grilled fish, "It's cold, it's not as fragrant as before, but it should taste good." ”

"You won't be?" Cole looked at Luca suspiciously, and although he was still swallowing, he couldn't help it.

"I went to the kitchen in the morning and borrowed some by the way—"

"I knew it." Cole pushed the box open and shook his head repeatedly, "I don't eat it." How do you go and steal everywhere. ”

"It's delicious, you really don't eat it?" Luca picked up a fish and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it with a look of enjoyment, "I haven't eaten anything so delicious in years!" ”

"I don't eat it." Cole clutched his rumbling belly, but refused.

"If you don't eat it, then I'll throw it away." Luca picked up the box and walked to the window, picked up a fish and dangled it at the window.

Cole looked at Luca with a look of longing in his eyes, but closed his eyes anyway and raised his voice for a moment, "I don't eat stolen things." ”

Luca's face became ugly, and with a wave of his hand, the whole box flew out of the window, and then slammed the window shut, "It's better not to eat, starve to death." I don't think you've ever experienced what it's like to be hungry. ”

The atmosphere froze at this moment, except for the noisy sounds of frogs and birds outside the window. Luca crouched in the corner, looking down at the wall and sniffling. Cole couldn't bear to look at Luca's back, and opened his mouth to say something, but closed his mouth again for a moment, looking at Luca quietly.

"I know you just look down on me like that." Luca's voice was crying, choking up word by word, "What can I do?" ”

"I can't do anything but this, I can only steal, I steal their things, they won't starve, but if I don't steal them, I will starve."

"They all look down on me, don't I want to be like everyone else? I wanted to work as a laborer to earn a living, but I couldn't carry even the lightest box, no matter what I did, no one wanted me, and I stole two loaves of bread when I was about to starve to death, and from then on I was the only way to survive. In addition to stealing, I've done things that you can't understand, can you think of it? ”

Cole walked over to Lucca and patted Luca on the shoulder, "I'm sorry—"

"I've picked up other people's garbage to find food to eat, I've grabbed food with hyenas, and when I have no water, I can only drink the blood of wild beasts to persevere, who cares if I live or die? By the time I had the ability to live on my own, the people around me hated me, feared me, and hated me! Anyway, they already hate me, so I'll keep stealing their stuff, and I won't be ashamed of them anyway! ”

Luca turned around, her eyes full of tears, and the neckline of her clothes was wet, "I thought you, unlike them. Everyone looks down on me and dislikes me, only you will talk to me well and treat me as a good person. It's because I'm wrong, and you look down on me! ”

"How so?" Cole hugged Luca from behind, but was quickly pushed away by Luca.

"Don't touch me, don't be polluted by a little thief like me."

Cole looked out the window, then at Luca, then stood up and walked to the window, looked at the grilled fish and the broken boxes scattered outside the window, opened the window and jumped out, picking them up one by one.

"What are you doing?" Luca rubbed her eyes and looked at Cole outside the window, "Don't you eat it?" ”

"I'd better taste the fruits of your labor." Cole picked up a grilled fish that was still sticky to the mud and took a bite, "I'm not used to this kind of life yet, but I won't dislike you." ”

"Poof." Luca laughed out loud as she watched Cole eat the fish.

"Are you alright?" Cole leaned through the window and returned to the room, "Not angry?" ”

"—that's a lot to talk about." Luca stuck out her tongue and picked up her backpack and slung it over her shoulder, "If you want to move, hurry up, let's go." ”

"Good, good." Cole closed the window and hurriedly left the room with Luca, who had already run out of the door, and as he passed the kitchen, Cole rummaged through his pockets and took out a gold coin and placed it on the kitchen table.

"It's about two hours from here to Job's Fortress, you look over there." Cole pointed to the tower in the distance, "There's the Crystal Tower, I've heard it's the largest city outside of the Youmo Gang, and their leader seems to have a very strong magical ability, maybe he can solve our contract problem." ”

"Why don't you go to him?" I kept looking at all the new things around me, and I wanted to have a good look at them with one more pair of eyes.

"Let's settle the matter at hand first, otherwise we won't even be able to make up the travel expenses. This profiteer is famous in the Youmo Gang, and he will do whatever he wants to hate people, and many businessmen in the Youmo Gang have been deceived by him. This kind of person must be cleaned up! Cole kept pushing behind Luka so that he wouldn't stop and be seduced away by the novelty on the side of the road.

"Interesting, this vote must be a fat difference!" Luca turned around and flicked Cole's ear, "I can't wait!" ”

"Stop! Barbarian! Cole covered his ears and snorted, and he sped up to the front.

"I'm a barbarian, I'm happy!" Luca grimaced at Cole's back and jumped after him.
