The Coming Rain

Chapter.13

In Bunianli, a metropolis far away from the mountains, Charlotte sat bored on a seat in the hall, resting her chin and flipping through the magazines at hand.And in an office on the upper floor of the lobby, a bloated middle-aged man took a simple jewelry box from Ainuo with a smile.

"As expected of Mr. Ainuo, the Hunter Association will credit you for obtaining the rare and even extinct blue fluorite so easily, right?" The middle-aged man tightly held the box in his hand, suppressing his desire to The idea of ​​opening the box and looking at it right away.

"It's not a big deal. It's a great honor for me to be able to reproduce such a beautiful gem." Ainuo smiled and greeted the middle-aged man with a wry smile in his heart.If it wasn't for Charlotte's help, his mission must have failed this time, right?It's just that I didn't expect the blue fluorite to be the egg of the blue firefly snake, and Charlotte's ability to defy the sky...

The middle-aged man in front of him is the client of his mission this time. It was he who issued the mission to find the blue fluorite and provided the news about the blue fluorite, otherwise he would not have found it in the mountain basin, maybe Not to mention Charlotte.

Ainuo had heard about this mission and this client.Because of a dispute at a banquet, they decided to find a rare gem to decide the outcome... The upper social circle is so casual. Although he is a hunter, in some respects, he is just a tool.If it weren't for the fact that he still has the title of a famous jewelry designer, he might not even have received news of the blue fluorite from the client.

Saying goodbye to the middle-aged man politely, Ainuo breathed a sigh of relief, and when he walked downstairs and saw Charlotte in the hall, he smiled relaxedly: "The task is completed, Charlotte, let's go."

"Okay~" Charlotte immediately dropped the book in her hand, stood up and smiled cheerfully.

The reward for this mission is a lot, and Ainuo intends to take Charlotte to have a good time.When leaving the mountain, although Charlotte used the ability of space teleportation to get them to Bunian City immediately, but when looking for blue fluorite, he refused Charlotte's help out of hunter's self-esteem, and it took a lot of energy to get from here. The blue firefly snake got some snake eggs and waited for a few weeks before getting the blue fluorite.Charlotte didn't say much during this period, she just stayed with him and believed in his strength, so he decided to make up for it.

Bunian City is a port city located in the southern coastal area of ​​the Asian continent. Because of its geographical advantage, it has developed quite prosperously.But speaking of it, Charlotte doesn't really like this city very much. The Azia Continent and the Urubian Continent, where Meteor Street is located, are almost across the sea.

Charlotte is not a resolute person, and it is impossible to forget everything that happened in the past just because she left. It can even be said that she is a person who is easily entangled by the past, so she always wants to avoid people or things in the past , that way, you won't hurt yourself.

What to say is really a cowardly expression, she knows it, but she doesn't want to care about it.

But now is not the time to think about it.Charlotte patted his forehead and chuckled.With the skills of those guys, they are still inseparable from Urubian Continent. It is still too early to find her. She should enjoy the outside world. The conditions on Meteor Street are really bad. She has a special constitution and can not eat. In the early days, they could not get much food, so she never ate. Later, she lived in the central area, and she was always punished for various things. She never thought about it. She needs to eat, so now, she has almost forgotten the taste of food.

If you are in a seaside city, you must have a good taste of seafood. Aino has indeed done so, and took Charlotte to the largest seafood processing market in the city. Here, guests can find a booth to sit at will, choose The chef at the stall cooks seafood, and the raw materials are purchased by the customers themselves in the market. In addition to the cost of raw materials, only the processing fee is paid to the chef, which is very cost-effective and authentic.

Charlotte drooled over the spotted crab in one tank, and then smacked her lips at the white snail in the other tank. Ainuo couldn't laugh or cry when she saw it: "Okay, don't just look at it, just take what you want." He thought Charlotte was still a child after all.

However, in the end, what Charlotte chose was not the big crab she had seen for the longest time, but mostly some shellfish. Ainuo was very surprised. After learning the reason, he could only choose a few crabs by himself in silence.

"Because it's too troublesome to eat, and you have to peel the shell..." This is Charlotte's reason.

So there is a reason to say that Charlotte was called a slacker by her friends before. Even if it is a delicacy that she really wants to eat, as long as she finds it troublesome, she is very likely to give up.

In order to satisfy Charlotte's craving, Ainuo worked hard to peel the crab shells for Charlotte.In fact, it’s not too troublesome. The crabs on the seashore are big and have a lot of meat in their legs. It can be seen how lazy Charlotte is, she is too lazy to get the whole crab meat just by using her ability.

Or, is it because she doesn't want to be "different" because of abilities different from others?Ainuo thought of this while looking at Charlotte who was eating with gusto.

Charlotte didn't care what Ainuo thought at all, she just continued to add points to Ainuo in her heart: Help her peel her, so sweet!Such a good man is really rare now.It's easy, Charlotte has a better impression of Ainuo.

Compared with the guys on Meteor Street, Ainuo is not only a normal person, but also a very good person, so Charlotte's "good person card" was sent out.

After eating and drinking enough, Ainuo had to go to work beforehand, so Charlotte found a shaded place to lie down, squinting her eyes to rest contentedly, but she was thinking about Ainuo in her heart.

In fact, it's not the first time she has met someone like Ainuo, but it's not in this world.

Because she has been tortured psychologically or emotionally during her journeys around the world time and time again, she always has no resistance to those who treat her gently, and it is easy to develop a good impression.According to ordinary people's thinking, the more injured, the more indifferent should be, but she just can't do it, she will only yearn for warmth more, make herself stronger, smile, and work hard, if there is no hope Even if it exists, it is impossible for her to persist until now.

But... Charlotte fell silent, and the happy expression on her face disappeared.Sakura of Life knew this a long time ago. It put her next to Ainuo to make her feel good about Ainuo, and then, it was time for her to suffer.The purpose of Sakura of Life has always been to wipe out her feelings, and people like Ainuo are just tools to it—a tool to hurt her.

Be it betrayal or death, for Charlotte, the betrayal or death of someone she already has a crush on is an indescribable pain.

She should stay away from Ainuo as soon as possible while she still doesn't have much favor, or treat her calmly like her previous master, be polite and distant, and leave with tricks when necessary, and find the next master.

However, this is easier said than done.It is instinct to fly moths to a flame.

Charlotte touched her arm. There was nothing on the arm that was originally wearing a silver ring or printed with flames, and it looked a bit monotonous.She no longer needs to abide by that contract, her ability has been restored, and Shengzhiying has nothing to do with it, she can completely use her own strength.If Ainuo died, she would revive him, and at most she would have to sleep for a while; if Ainuo turned his back on her, she could wake him up and recover again.

I just hope there won't be another episode.Dissonant notes on the score will disturb the whole piece of music.

Charlotte stretched and fell asleep soundly.

Ainuo on the other side was stunned and speechless at this moment.

The black gem placed on the pure white velvet cloth did not reflect any ray of light in the sun, but instead absorbed all the light, appearing deep and low-key, but no one who saw it would have the thought of underestimating it.

In fact, it is not so much a gemstone as it is a fragment, and there is not just one fragment on this piece of flannelette, but three pieces, whether round or irregular, they are all the same kind of gemstone—— Black Diamond.

"These three black diamonds, could it be..." Ainuo felt that his tongue was not flexible enough, and he couldn't say the words in his throat.

"That's right, it's exactly what you think, Mr. Ainuo. It took me a lifetime to find these three black diamonds. Now I want to hand them over to you. I hope you can make them into the most suitable form." The old man's hair is all white, but he combs it meticulously, and his clothes are neat and tidy. He looks gentlemanly and personable, and he doesn't look old at all.

In fact, this "old man" shouldn't be so old. In terms of age, he is only in his thirties. For a man, he should be in his prime at this time, and he should be strong and strong. , was too old to rely on crutches and a wheelchair.

This is too bizarre, Ainuo thought in his heart, but he could also guess the reason why a man would become like this.

"...Why...it's me..." After a while, Ainuo spit out such a sentence from his dry throat.

There was a smile on the man's face, which wrinkled his loose facial skin, but made people feel the mystery in his expression. He spoke softly, sighing or prophesying Tone said.

"This is fate, it chose you."
