You are already in another world and will only return to reality in two days,
Reiko educated the young man who was walking beside her with some disappointment. Seeing that he was walking unsteadily,
She could not help but ask worriedly,
"Do you really not want me to carry you?"
Tatara's eyes flashed with helplessness,
He smiled and looked up at her. "I'm fine. So, how can a human trafficker be as gentle as you, Sister Reiko?"
Reiko choked,
Which child would be so calm as to bring a stranger home to stay?
"If it's not a human trafficker, it could be a thief! You still have to be more careful! "
Hearing this,
Tatara smiled. He smiled so much that his eyes curved into crescents,
"Thieves won't patronize my house! I hope you don't dislike it. "
Reiko didn't know why,
She always felt that there were many shadows hidden under his smile.
At first, she thought that Tatara and the Five Tigers Retreat were somewhat similar because of their appearances. However, after talking to him, she realized that Tatara's personality was more determined and cheerful than the Five Tigers Retreat's,
He was also more mature... so mature that he didn't seem like a child his age,
It made one's heart ache for him for some reason!
"You're a child. Don't speak so maturely,
I still have to thank you for treating me to supper! The taste is really good. "Reiko shook the plum rice ball and strawberry milk in her hand,
This was what she had just bought at the convenience store next to the clinic... Tatara paid for it. Meanwhile, the tuna rice ball in Reiko's backpack was crying silently.
"As long as you like it!" Tatara smiled again, looking innocent and carefree,
It was as if nothing could affect his mood.
"Oh right,
I don't think you're a resident nearby. Is there something you need? "
"Well... I'm here to look for someone."
"Looking for someone?" Tatara thought for a moment. "If the person you're looking for is a resident of this area, I'm very familiar with them. I can help you."
"Well, I'm not too sure about that …" Reiko paused. The problem was that she didn't know the identity of the other party. She didn't know whether the other party was male or female, fat, short, tall, or thin. Looking at his puzzled eyes, Reiko smiled and said, "Anyway, it's quite complicated. I'll tell you if you really need me!"
"Alright, if there's anything I can do, you must tell me, Elder Sister." Seeing this, Tatara did not pursue the matter any further and nodded with a smile.
Seeing him act like a little adult again, Reiko couldn't help but reach out and pinch his furry head. How cute! She was already so old, yet she still called her sister. How considerate!
A certain Tai Dao who forced himself to listen to her thoughts wondered how there could be such a shameless person. He quickly sealed his hearing and pretended to be dead.
Reiko had no idea that her thoughts had been read. She finished the rice ball in two bites, then took off her backpack and rummaged through it. She took out the food bag, opened a tuna rice ball, and handed it to Tatara. "Here, this is a gift in return."
Tatara was stunned. The white, tender, and round rice ball in front of him was one size bigger than the cheap rice balls he bought at the convenience store. It exuded a strong and enticing aroma, and his stomach, which didn't have much income to begin with, rumbled.
"Haha …"
Hearing the rumbling of his stomach, Reiko chuckled. "I made this myself. It tastes pretty good. Thank you for taking me in tonight."
Duo Liang raised his head to look at her. Shrouded in the bright moonlight, the girl's mouth had a faint smile. That pair of beautiful amber eyes looked at him with a gentle light, just like a mother looking at her child … extremely gentle.
"Thank you for your hospitality." Tatara's face was tinged with a light pink color. He smiled as he took the rice ball and took a bite. Instantly, the soft and sweet taste of tuna filled his mouth, and he was a little dazed.
It might be a little unbelievable, but he had eaten tuna before, but it was all from expired cans. He didn't have money in the past, but later, he used whatever money he had to buy his little love. In addition, Tokugawa Sen was a regular customer of expired lunchboxes in the supermarket, so … since his mother left, this was the first time he had eaten such fresh and delicious tuna rice balls made by someone else.
"How is it? Delicious, right?" Reiko smiled and handed him the strawberry milk. "Here, drink some milk. Don't choke."
Tatara blinked twice, took the milk, and smiled sweetly at Reiko. "Thank you, sister."
"You're welcome …" Before she could finish her sentence, the Jin Jiang AI in her backpack suddenly made a sound. Reiko's expression changed. She took it out and saw that the red dot that had disappeared earlier had reappeared on the screen, and it was approaching them at an extremely fast speed.
Reiko instinctively shielded Tatara behind her and looked sharply in that direction. Tatara was puzzled and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"
"Nothing!" Reiko frowned and turned to ask him, "How far is your house?"
Tatara paused and pointed at an old building in the distance. "It's that building, the one on the innermost side of the second floor."
This time, it was Reiko who was stunned … Tatara was pointing in the direction of the target.
Tatara peeked at her and saw that she didn't show any disdain. She just frowned as if she was troubled by something.
"Sister … Hmm?!!"
Tatara looked at Reiko stiffly when he was suddenly picked up. His eyes were wide open, and his confused look couldn't be more adorable. Reiko's brows relaxed and she smiled. "It's too late. I'll carry you faster."
The soft and fragrant embrace made Duo Liang's ears burn, and even his pale cheeks blushed. He softly replied with an "en" and then lowered his head. Thus, he didn't notice Lingzi's vigilant gaze that was looking straight ahead, as well as her slightly tensed body.
Ten minutes later, when a figure rushed toward the two of them from the twilight, the Jin Jiang AI in Reiko's hands made an urgent notification. Reiko stopped in her tracks. She hugged the sleepy Tatara while looking at the AI. Fox's Assistance said … How do we catch him? Just as Reiko was hesitating and the person was getting closer, the AI in her hands suddenly issued a new warning.
[Warning! Warning! Target has entered the capture range. Do you want to capture him?]
Looking at the flashing screen, Reiko raised her eyebrows. So advanced?
"Yes."
[Number 52033 Jin Jiang AI has locked onto the target.]
[Target locked.]
[Beep … Target's status is abnormal. Unable to capture. Please confirm that the target is available for capture.]
"Tsk! I knew it! "How could it be so smooth? Lingzi curled her lips and stuffed the AI back into the side bag. Holding the katana tightly, she vigilantly looked at the "pig-headed" man who rushed into the dim street light from the night. "So, I'd better knock him out and then study him slowly!"
"Hmm?" Tatara was sensitive by nature. He suddenly felt something was wrong and was about to turn his head in a daze when a "little bastard" that was almost a howl woke him up.
Then, just as Reiko was about to kill the man, he hurriedly shouted, "Sister, don't hurt him. He's my father!"
Lingzi was in a daze. The man who rushed over in a violent state snatched Duoliang away with a "whoosh" and knocked Lingzi to the side without showing any mercy to her.
Reiko staggered and almost fell. However, the culprit did not notice at all. He carried Tatara to the side and looked at his head that was wrapped up like a mummy.
"What happened? What did you do? What happened? Huh? "
Holding his injured arms, Totoriya endured the pain and chuckled. "I'm fine, I'm fine. I just accidentally bumped into an electric pole when I was running away. The impact was a little bad."
Reiko just straightened up when she heard Tatara lying through his teeth. She was speechless. Not to mention the injury on his forehead, his face was bruised all over, and his body was covered in cuts and bruises. Which idiot would believe such a lie?
"What?! You hit an electric pole?! " The man raised his voice and roared in exasperation. He slapped him on the head. "Brat, are you stupid?!"
"…"
— — That's right. Perhaps there were one or two idiots in this world.
"You're the stupid one!" Reiko could not help but scold him. She walked over and slapped his hand away. "You pressed on his injured area!"
Tokugawa Sen was not a good-tempered person. The back of his hand hurt from the slap and he was about to yell back. Hearing her words, the pig-faced man immediately looked at Tatara nervously and said in a slightly panicked tone, "Your hand is injured too? Is it serious? Wait a minute, who are you? "
As if he had just reacted, Tokugawa Sen turned to look at Reiko warily. However, his swollen eyelids made his eyes narrow and he did not look imposing at all.
Tatara immediately tugged at his shirt and introduced her with a smile. "Dad, this is Big Sister Reiko. She sent me to the clinic … She just came here and hasn't found a place to stay yet, so I invited her to our house." With that, Tatara looked at Reiko and secretly winked at her.
The corner of Reiko's mouth twitched slightly. This little rascal actually used her to change the topic. However, seeing that he was injured, she did not expose him. Besides, didn't he say that there was no one at home? However, she did not expect this person to be Tatara's father. That was good too. This gave her a chance to get close to him.
Reiko waved at him casually. "Hello … Uncle, sorry to disturb you."
"Un … Uncle?!!" Tokugawa Sen's thin lips parted slightly. He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly reacted and scolded, "Hello my * ss!"
After Tokugawa Sen finished scolding Reiko, he turned around and unceremoniously knocked Tatara on the head. He scolded angrily, "Hey, little rascal, are you stupid? Bringing a stranger home? What if she's a thief?! "
You're the stupid one, aren't you?
Reiko was speechless. This person had a negative EQ. Who would call someone a thief in front of them?
Tatara was also speechless. The smile on his face froze for a moment. He looked nervously at Reiko. Seeing that her expression was slightly stiff, but she was not angry, he heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled and stuffed the trench coat in his hand into his father's arms. "Dad, even if we sleep with the door open, there won't be any thieves coming to our house."
Tokugawa Sen choked. Thinking of their small, rundown apartment that had no value to thieves, his bruised face froze for a moment. He immediately retorted, "What if she's a human trafficker? If a child like you is sold to the black market, they'll cut you open … Ah!!! "
With a loud bang, Tokugawa Sen clutched the bump on his head and fell to the ground.
The corners of Reiko's mouth twitched. She retracted her fist and looked coldly at the man. "Uncle, who are you calling a human trafficker?! What nonsense are you spouting to a child? Who would do such a thing?! "
"… Pfft ~"
"What? You want to go alone?! "Fox's Assistance's expression changed drastically. He stared at Reiko with an expression of disbelief.
He had been in the position for more than ten years and had taken on countless positions related to This Pill. He had seen many Divine Inquisitors. Not to mention those who brought along a circle of Fu Mourning God, those who did not like to cause trouble would at least bring along one of them. Unlike Lord Xia Mu, who was on a mission for the first time and was going to a dangerous world, he did not want to bring along a single Divine Inquisitor.
"Yes. Is there a rule that requires me to bring along a Fu Mourning God? Can't I go alone? "
"Why?" Fox's Assistance did not understand at all.
Reiko lowered her eyes. Her fingers gently moved the cherry blossom cake in the box. "His body is still very weak. He's not fit to go on a mission."
"Just because of this? His body is weak only because he lacks spiritual power. As long as you sign a contract with him, his body will naturally recover to its peak. Even if he's injured, as long as you put your hands on him, he'll recover quickly! "
"No need." Reiko was still insistent. "That child probably doesn't want to go with me now!"
"Why?" Fox's Assistance did not understand. He had just seen the two of them protecting each other. They were obviously very harmonious. What on earth …?!!!
Suddenly, the fact that the Five Tigers Retreat had been waiting for Lord Sumino's return flashed across Fox's Assistance's mind. Even though he had already guessed it, he still confirmed it with Reiko. "My Lord, haven't you told the Five Tigers Retreat that the previous Divine Inquisitor is dead and will not be coming back?"
When he first showed her the information, it was because he wanted to use her to make the Death Gods Fu, who still had some expectations, give up and quickly integrate into the Core Pill. Who knew that she didn't say anything at all, so it was no wonder that the Five Tigers Retreated and refused to sign a contract with her.
"He doesn't need to know about this … and …" Reiko paused as she thought of something.
"And what?"
