Lizard Keeping Diary

Schatz didn't sleep well at night because there were too many mosquitoes.He didn't prepare the mosquito repellent tools in advance, was tortured to death, gave up the idea of ​​rest, got up in the dark in the early morning and lit the lamp.That's what led him to discover: Feeney wasn't here.

Where is Finny?

Shatz walked slowly to the table, picked up the teapot and poured water into the cup. After taking a few sips, he remembered the banquet at night... the performance... Goose Feather Snow... By the way, Finny was chosen to perform for the city lord.

However, I haven't come back so late, is it normal?Playing the piano in the middle of the night is obviously a nuisance to the people.

Schatz casually looked out the window, and almost jumped up at that moment.

Moen, leave the window open!

No wonder the mosquitoes are getting in!

Schatz walked over unsteadily, and before he got close to the wall, he reached out to close it.

But the outstretched hand was still some distance away from the target, and there was a muffled sound.The window shut itself.

Shatz was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, a little suspicious that he was wrong.There seems to be no wind at night.Could it be that the windows were closed all the time?But those mosquitoes are still in the house...

Turning his gaze to the side of the bed, he saw the lizard woke up at some point, looking at him with drooping eyelids, Schatz suddenly felt guilty.The noise just now, although not intentional, should still have woken up the lizard.His pet has weird habits, always leaning on the pillow like a human being, and likes to grab his neck and sleep soundly.

"Sorry," Schatz muttered under his breath, "Mainly because I put all the mosquitos in...the bad things are bothering me."

Afraid of mosquitoes?The lizard's golden eyes were wide open, as if to say: Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Schatz looked at his baby, and saw it jumped to the ground and crawled away.After a while, a candle plate was brought to his mouth, and the candles placed on it were lit by breathing out fire. Then he stood upright and raised his two forelimbs into the air.

For a reptile, it was such an odd look, and yet so amusing.

Schatz stared at it without blinking, wondering what it was going to do next.

In fact, the lizard did nothing but maintain this movement for a long time until there was a crackling sound in the room.

"Ah!" Schatz took a breath, watching what was happening in disbelief.

Mosquitoes, big and small, gathered together and jumped on the flame of the candle like crazy. Before they could even struggle, they were burned to ashes.In a blink of an eye, all the mosquitoes in the room killed themselves, leaving only the extra embers on the candle tray.

Shocked for a moment, Schatz rushed forward and lifted the lizard high into the air.

"Every day~every night~my love for you~ will be a little more~"

After singing without thinking, he hugged the lizard and went back to bed to sleep.

This little episode delayed Schatz's life.That day, everything was later than usual, and he still practiced in the morning, but Finny didn't come back until noon.Schatz's premonition was like a broken siren, the bell kept ringing.

Meanwhile, the lizard was already urging him to take him out for a walk.

This little guy has become a habit of going out now, and he has to go out for a few laps every day.

Even so, it didn't move much the whole time, just lying on his shoulder.

It felt more like a lizard stalking him than him stalking a lizard...

Shatz opened a new route and walked around the garden. After finding the entrance and exit, he was about to enter when he saw the figure of the housekeeper appearing in front of him, about to come out of the garden.

Shatz's face turned pale, and he wanted to hide quickly, but it was too late.

The housekeeper spotted him sharply, and immediately shouted, "Stop!"

Shatz immediately stood still, motionless.

"turn around."

Shatz turned stiffly.

The butler walked up to him, raised eyebrows, "What are you doing here?"

"Just... take a walk."

The butler looked at Shatz for a while, then his eyes fell on the lizard, "Have you always carried this thing?" As soon as he asked, he had already realized the answer, and the face engraved with the traces of time suddenly became more wrinkled. "You still took this thing to the other garden?" The butler screamed, "Is that so?!"

"Yes." Schatz replied, not understanding why the butler was so excited.

"How bold! This is an offense to the mayor." The steward reprimanded, "A dirty animal like this must never stay outside of its cage. You are really challenging the limits of others' tolerance."

Schatz was startled.He couldn't believe what he heard from the steward.

First, dirty?Since he raised the lizard, he bathed it and wiped it off almost every day before putting it to sleep on his pillow.

Second, the cage?That kind of thing can't keep his little guy, and the housekeeper knows nothing about raising reptiles.

Furthermore, it was okay to do this a few days ago, why is it not working today?

No matter how you look at it, it seems that you are deliberately finding fault...

Schatz opened his mouth and was about to start a debate, but after a closer look, the housekeeper didn't seem to be reasonable with him, so he dismissed the idea, "...Understood." He changed his answer with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, "I will Make sure it doesn't cause trouble, thank you very much for pointing it out."

This answer is obviously the most timely choice.The butler's expression softened a little, and he gave Shatz a few more words before leaving.

But the lizard was staring at the butler's back, and the two golden glass balls almost popped out of their eye sockets.It doesn't like that guy at all.

In fact, it's not a big deal, the butler is just doing his duty in his own way.Schatz patted the lizard on the back, and walked slowly back to the dormitory area of ​​the musicians.

There are a lot of people working there.Schatz thought of Yade again, remembering that the other person's residence was a few buildings away from him, so he searched there intuitively, greeted him in a circle, and finally found Yade's roommate.

"You mean Yard?" The other party looked puzzled, "He left long ago."

"Gone?" Schatz was taken aback, "How early is it?"

"This morning... did something happen?"

Schatz was dumb for a moment, "It's okay." He thought he shouldn't spread his guesses, no matter they were true or not.

But this is very strange.Yad is gone.What could be the reason?Schatz tried to find out the reason, but Yad's former roommate didn't seem to be very clear, and only said that he saw Yad taking the silver dollars, and probably felt that he had made enough money and went home to enjoy the blessings.

This theory was completely beyond Schatz's expectations.He was thinking of something quite different.Although he also has some doubts about whether he has a tendency to conspiratorial theories and always thinks everything in a bad direction.But there was no more plausible possibility to explain Yard's departure than his immediate thoughts.Poor Yard must have suffered a lot.

With a heavy heart, Shatz returned to his room.

Almost immediately, he found someone standing by the bed.

"...Finny?"

That figure froze.

Schatz walked over quickly and found that Finny was packing up, and the clothes on the bed were in a mess.

Looking at Finny himself, his complexion was as pale as paper, and the corners of his eyes were red, as if he had just finished crying bitterly.

"What's wrong with you?" Schatz asked cautiously. "Did someone bully you?"

Finny shook his head, then showed a confused expression, then nodded slowly, unable to make up his mind.

"I'm planning to leave here." Finny's voice was hoarse, "I don't feel well, so..."

"So you're leaving after Yard," Schatz continued. "Oh, didn't you know? He just left this morning."

Feeney looked at him in amazement, his expression collapsed bit by bit.Schatz believed that his thoughts were much more complicated than his own at the moment.

Holding the corner of the clothes tightly, it took Finny a long time before he said panickedly, "I...I don't remember..."

"what?"

"I mean, I don't remember what happened." Finny collected himself, "I remember what I performed for the Santo, but after that... I don't quite know. I feel like I fell asleep, and so on When I woke up, I came back here.”

Facing the confused Schatz, Finny put his arms around himself, "I know even if I say that...you probably won't understand. I feel terrible now, I'm tired, dizzy, and I say It hurts. Oh." He burst into tears, covering his eyes, "I don't know...you told me to be careful, but I didn't listen to you..."

Seeing his collapsed appearance, Shatz felt nothing but sympathy.

Finny's attitude last night was arrogant, yes, but who doesn't make mistakes in judgment?

Schatz stepped forward to hug the boy who was about his own age, "What are your plans after you leave here?"

"I... I'm going to try to be a teacher in a private school run by my relatives. They live in another city." Feeney bit his lower lip, revealing inexplicable nervousness, "You, you should leave here too, I'm serious of."

"Don't worry, I will."

Even if he wanted to stay, the schedule wouldn't allow it.Tonight will be the last night of his stay.

If he couldn't reach Pops by the day after tomorrow, he would be dead in the eyes of his mentor.

But speaking of this, he has already received money from the finance office, which is enough to buy a Pegasus ticket.

congratulations.
