Chapter 169: Shopping
"In short, what should I buy?"
Lucia looked at the paving around her, really embarrassed.
"Why don't you buy them all?"
It's really Lucia's opinion, and even the degree of non-reference is very Lucia.
"No, Miss. β
Jonathan, with a confident expression, rejects Lucia's opinion.
"If we do that, we will have so much luggage that we can't take with us, and then it's not a trip, it's a business. β
With his hands ringed, his head and index finger swaying, Jonathan's rare sense of superiority made Jonathan proud, and it was so nice to have everything under control, and every word and deed could make or break the situation, no wonder so many people yearn for power.
However, it was just a shopping trip, and Jonathan was unexpectedly easy to satisfy.
"I'll leave this kind of thing to me, known as the 'Master of Survival', and I'll definitely make the eldest lady have an unforgettable travel experience. β
ββIt seems that the title has changed. Even for Lucia, it is basically impossible to notice such a big change in the number of words.
But it doesn't matter, Lucia said that she understands very well, her nickname will always be more handsome than others, and even Lucia occasionally gives up like a cooler nickname for herself, but she has never had a better idea.
"So, what are we supposed to buy? 'Survival Master'. β
Lucia had the expression of a passer-by, and she used Jonathan's new nickname very cooperatively.
"Goo!"
Jonathan's voice was out of shape.
It's supposed to be a time to be happy, but why is there no expected joy, but a sense of shame like it's about to burst the heart.
"What's wrong with the 'Survival Master'?"
Jonathan, who was being pursued, blushed with shame. But he had to pretend to be calm, otherwise if the eldest lady found out that this nickname was given by herself...... I don't even want to think about it.
"Yes, yes. First of all, let's buy food, after all, food is the foundation of human life. β
Jonathan has a deep understanding of this sentence. Real hunger is terrifying, and that horror can make people something other than human.
"Food, can you buy anything?"
Jonathan smiled proudly, the eldest lady really didn't know the difficulty of survival, and she still had to rely on herself at this time.
"Of course, you can buy whatever you like. β
Receiving the expert's answer, Lucia looked at Hecate.
"What does Hekate want to eat?"
The good baby Hekate had a cute face, and after thinking hard for a while, he put on a big smile.
"The baby wants to eat strawberry cake and fruit platter. And all the things that Mommy likes, as long as Mommy likes the baby, she likes it!"
A thoughtful and somewhat coquettish answer can add a lot of points to himself, and that's what Hekat intended.
"Yes, Hekat is so good~. β
Sure enough, Lucia happily imprinted a kiss on Hecate's head.
Then he took stock of the results of the discussion with Jonathan.
"Then I want strawberry cake, fruit platter, barbecue meat and fish, in short, buy some of these barbecue items and bring them with you, no problem. β
Jonathan nodded, anyway, if he buys more, it will be delivered to his door by the merchant, and he doesn't need to worry about too many things.
"Of course. There is no such thing as good or bad food, no matter what it is, it is the source of life. β
Jonathan said it impassionedly, and Lucia believed it.
Once the food is bought, the next step is to drink. The same routine was still the same, and a total of one barrel of milk, juice, beer, ale and spirits were bought.
There is no water except for it.
Jonathan's explanation is that 'there are many sources of water, so there is no need to worry too much'.
The only trouble is the stuff to play. Because Lucia doesn't like dolls and comic strips for small children, it's a little difficult to choose. It's just that Jonathan has never had the spare time to play this area before, and he can't give effective advice at all.
"Why don't you just make some rare animals to play with?"
Jonathan tried to do so. Don't girls like little animals? Then you can't go wrong with going this way.
Lucia's eyes lit up at hearing this proposal.
"That's not bad. β
Those monsters are indeed very interesting, so try to find them on the way, and let Hekate catch them and play with them.
Lucia and Jonathan have a slight deviation in their conception of 'critters' and 'pets'.
In this way, the general shopping is done, and after that, you just have to wait for the things to arrive, and then you can get ready to go.
By the way, the dolls and comic strips are all in Hecate's hands, which makes Jonathan smile kindly, no matter how you look at it, he's just a well-behaved and cute child, and the black-hearted butler thinks too much.
But I don't know why, the toy that Lucia handed to Hecate was well kept, but Jonathan handed it over and was lost halfway, which made Jonathan smile again and sigh, what a child, so careless.
Walking on the way back to Antoinette's house, Jonathan sighed that today was really a successful day, because his mood was a little high, and he could ask things that he didn't usually dare to ask.
"Speaking of which, what is the relationship between Hekate and the eldest lady?"
Hecate only came to Antoinette because no one dared to ask, the only one who knew the inside story Jonathan guessed that it was definitely related to Lucia, as for Hecate's often said 'Mommy', Jonathan didn't take it seriously at all, even if the eldest lady is the same black dragon, but in terms of age, it is impossible to become a mother, and I haven't seen the eldest lady pregnant or anything like that.
It's probably an adoption or something like that.,Because the eldest lady unexpectedly longs for a mature adult.,That's why Hekate called herself 'Mommy'.γ
At least that's what Jonathan thinks.
"Hekat is my child. β
Lucia's answer was simple, but there were still many unclear points.
"Yes....... β
To say such a thing to a little girl like the eldest lady, Jonathan's face should have turned red with shame, and he struggled to turn around in his mind a few times before he found a relatively acceptable statement.
"Is it a child like 'the crystallization of parental love'?"
used the way of deceiving children when he was hungry, but Jonathan still felt very ashamed, it seems that the shame in it does not come entirely from words.
"No, after all, I don't plan on having that kind of relationship with a man. β
Lucia shook her head violently in disgust, and the man ...... It was disgusting to think about, which made her reflexively make a vomiting gesture to indicate 'impossible', but the actual effect was just a cute sticking out her tongue.
ββSure enough, it's an adoption relationship. Jonathan was sure that the only thing he didn't know was the adoption process, but it wasn't a big deal, probably just two children looking at each other like this. (To be continued.) )
