you turned on the love game

Lina has been very restless lately.

Still a little uneasy.

Because of the new guy Hisoka.

If her talent is one in ten thousand, that guy's talent is one in a million.No matter what the move is, as long as he has seen it once, he can immediately copy it.

—Only relying on observation and nerve reflexes.

Losing to the untrained Hisoka last time had already made her very anxious—although she was injured at the time—but now she can barely beat him in his prime.

If this goes on... Hisoka will surpass her sooner or later.

Maybe the eldest lady will only pay attention to Hisoka and no longer pay attention to her.At that time... useless things will be thrown away...

Thinking of this, Lin Na trembled in her heart.

no--

No!

Linna buried herself in the quilt, biting the quilt tightly.

She secretly said to herself: The maid has already gone to rest, no one will find you crying secretly.

Just cry for a little while.

Tomorrow we must pick ourselves up again.

After convincing myself, the emotion that I tried my best to restrain began to slowly collapse.

Small whimpers overflowed intermittently from his throat, like a puppy afraid of being abandoned by its owner, only knowing howling and shaking.

Tears flowed like water.

No one knew she was crying.

- It should have been like this.

"Lina?"

You noticed that the little girl's mood was not right, but you didn't expect that she would hide in the quilt and cry in the middle of the night, not even daring to make a sound.

When you whispered her name, the slight sobbing stopped abruptly, and the trembling bedding also stopped, and she seemed motionless as if she had fallen asleep.

You sighed softly in your heart and walked over to sit beside her.

You didn't ask her why she was crying right away, but said to her in a gentle voice, "I haven't told Linna a story yet."

The sound of breathing under the quilt suddenly increased, the little girl sniffed heavily, and said in a muffled voice, "I... don't need it today..."

"Are you too tired from training?"

You meant to make a joke and interrupt her mood.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this sentence, Lin Na burst into tears immediately, threw off the quilt and threw herself into your arms, apologizing to you with teary eyes and choked throat: "Yes, I'm sorry..."

You froze for a moment, and quickly hugged her into your arms, "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly apologize?"

"Miss, did I, did I let you down..."

She sobbed and said, "I studied several months before Hisoka, but he caught up easily... I'm really useless!"

"It's useless, it's useless, it's useless!"

While saying this, he slapped himself on the head vigorously as if venting.

"Linna!" You pressed her hand, your eyes became serious.

The girl immediately curled up into a ball, shaking her wet feathers like a bird that accidentally fell into the water, and looked at you cautiously, "I will work harder, please don't leave me..."

"..." The thought of wanting to educate was suddenly extinguished. You looked at the girl you rescued from a bad family, reached out to help her smooth her messy hair, and sighed softly, "No way..."

The girl smiled like she was crying.

You can tell at a glance that you don't believe your promise, but you obediently didn't say anything.

You stared into her eyes, curled your lips, and suddenly mentioned the past: "Does Linna know why I brought you back?"

She was stunned.

That was last year.

You went to the old town on a whim, planning to fund the orphanage there, and accidentally saw a little girl surrounded by older children in the corner of the orphanage building.

This was a very common thing at the time.Orphanages can only guarantee the most basic food and clothing for children, without knowledge education, let alone moral education-these things are all luxuries.

So you glance at it casually and plan to leave.

It just so happened that the girl looked up and spotted you.

You meet her eyes.

"I'm not a kind-hearted eldest lady, and it's just a whim to go to the orphanage, let alone bring children back to raise them casually."

"And then I saw you."

Those are a pair of very beautiful eyes.

His eyes were bright, as if burning with raging flames.

When you look at her, you can intuitively feel the unyielding soul hidden under the body, giving you the illusion that you can stand up against all pressure as long as you give her a support.

"That's when I thought..."

"The child's eyes are so beautiful."

"I'm going to take her home and see her fully bloom."

In Linna's daze, you hooked her bangs behind her ears and said softly, "So I won't abandon you."

Verbal commitments are too pale and fade more easily than words.

You thought about it and said something else.

"Besides, I spent a lot of money on Linna. It is impossible for a black-hearted capitalist to miss the opportunity to squeeze you."

Gently hooked her face with your index finger, and you said with a smile, "Poor little girl, you can only work for me in the future."

The blond-haired little girl with tears in the corners of her eyes said, "Mmm...mm!"

A look that can't wait to grow up and work for you.

You leaned closer and whispered: "When you are 12 years old, you will find a teacher to teach you the ability to read, and then replace Bijima's position to protect me... That guy's charge is simply too expensive—although it is really useful."

Linna: "Okay! I will take good care of Missy!"

Lina: "I don't want money!"

"Then I'm really a black-hearted capitalist."

Lina: "It's okay!"

You laughed dumbfounded, then as if you suddenly remembered something, you took out a thin card from your pocket, "By the way, I always forgot to give you my ID card."

Since Linna was abandoned in the orphanage, she never had her identity card. After you brought her back to the manor, you asked someone to get one for her, so that she could use the public facilities normally.

"My name is Lucia Moreau."

You turn the front of the ID card over and let her see the words on it through the moonlight outside the window——

Your surname appears in the Name column, Moreau.

"Your name is Lena Moreau."

"Okay?"

Linna took the ID card, her eyes were glued to the "surname" as if she couldn't believe it, and her breathing trembled slightly.

This is Missy's last name.

It is the surname of her favorite young lady.

She will never live up to the last name.

will never.

"Ok!"

Since Linna received training, there will be a field trial every three months to test her learning, and the location is in the dense forest outside the manor.

This time the field trial is not only for Linna, Hisoka will also participate.

He asked for it.

You are sitting in the monitoring room, sinking into the soft seat lazily, and holding a stack of assessment materials on the danger of the forest in your hand, which lists a series of terrifying jungle beasts.

There may even be monsters, because the other side of this forest happens to be connected to another large monster forest.

You put down the file and look at the monitor in front of you.

On the surveillance screen, Linna is making the final preparations before the battle, her expression is very relaxed, after all, she has participated in several tests.

And Hisoka...

Sitting cross-legged on the ground stacking poker towers.

Stack one and smile.

Then continue to stack up.

There is no sense of urgency to go into the forest alone later.

The maid also noticed Hisoka's behavior, and said worriedly: "Miss, is Hisoka too relaxed? Does he really know the danger of this forest trial?"

"I told him specifically." You nodded, "He knows that there are many dangerous beasts and poisonous plants inside, and he will die if he is not rescued in time."

"But he..."

"Not nervous at all, right?"

You took up the maid's words with a smile in your eyes, "He just laughed after listening to my warning, and then said..."

You carefully recalled Hisoka's tone at that time, then cleared your throat, deliberately dragging the tone of your voice upwards.

——"Ah... isn't that interesting?""

"So I agree." You spread your hands.

Maid: "..."

The image is so strong that you can already imagine the picture, which is Hisoka.

At this time, a few people came out from the entrance of the forest, announcing that all the monitoring in the forest had been checked and were in normal operation. One of them took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

Your phone on the console rings.

"Hey?"

"Miss, you can start the trial at any time."

You take a look at the situation of the two children.

Lina had finished warming up, and Hisoka pushed down the poker tower he had built with one hand, laughing non-stop with trembling shoulders.

You look back: "Okay, let's start."

The broadcast began to announce the trial rules:

"According to the prompt, find the hidden treasure deep in the forest, it may be a brooch or a necklace, and bring it back.

The ferocious beasts encountered on the way can be killed or avoided. If you kill them, you will get extra points.

Trial begins"

Linna rushed in the moment the forest entrance opened, but Hisoka tidied up his cards calmly, pulled out a "Joker" and shook it in the direction of the monitor, and flung it lightly.

"Bye-Bye—"

The Ghost King playing card briefly covered the surveillance camera for a second.

Floating down from the sky danglingly.

The maid was puzzled: "What is he doing?"

You watched him disappear at the entrance of the forest little by little, with a smile on the corner of your lips, and your eyes swept over the ghost ace lying on the ground.

"He's excited."
