The Coming Rain

Chapter.5

After returning to the container where Kurolo and Feitan were, Charlotte showed the bag of bread in her hand and the knight-errant in front of Feitan and Kurolo, with a smile on her face to invite credit: "Master, you Look at me getting a bag of bread and a child as a gift!"

"What is this brat!" Fei Tan pulled the knight from Charlotte's hand, and shouted at Charlotte by the back collar of his clothes.

"He's a person, not a thing." Charlotte calmly changed the topic and didn't answer, but pointed out Feitan's language problem.Of course, in exchange for this, Feitan became even more angry: "You tell me the truth!"

"My name is Xia Ke, and I am five years old." The child who was held by Fei Tan in his hands in a rude manner said with a smile, and answered Fei Tan's question on behalf of Charlotte, without realizing his current situation at all.

"Who asked you something!" Fei Tan yelled at the knight and threw him aside, continuing to stare at Charlotte angrily.

He really looks like a child who loves to lose his temper... No, this guy is only nine years old now.Charlotte frowned, and put on a bitter face to meet Feitan's anger, and turned her eyes for help to Kuroro, who had never expressed his opinion.

Hey, hey, anyway, you are my master, give me some strength, okay...

Kuroro didn't speak, but the knight who was thrown on the ground by Feitan quickly got up from the ground, stood up, and patted the dust on his body, and bowed to Kuroro in a decent manner .

"I think you are the master that Lan said?" the knight asked solemnly.

blue?Kurolo looked at Charlotte who was looking at him expectantly. Those sky pupils were extremely bright and pitiful. He immediately understood the reason, so he smiled and nodded: "That's right."

"I can tell you everything I know, and then you can decide whether I can stay or not. In advance, if I don't take my words seriously, something pretty bad may happen in the future, because Lan has done something outside before. It's a very bad move." The five-year-old knight blinked his big eyes, but he suggested it wisely, coupled with his behavior just now, it simply didn't look like the wisdom a five-year-old child should have.

But in Meteor Street, geniuses are not uncommon, even if they are not geniuses, there are also a lot of acquired freaks.Kurolo can fully understand the maturity of the knight, so he glanced at Charlotte, nodded with a smile: "Welcome to join us, you can tell me what happened now."

Although Charlotte on the side has always been indifferent to Fei Tan's cold eyes, but her mind is paying attention to this side. As soon as the knight is about to tell what happened, she immediately prepares to run away, but Fei Tan, who noticed her strange expression in advance, gave her a hand. He was caught, and was ordered by Kuroro to stay in the container and not allowed to go out, so he could only sit down with a dead face and wait for disposal.

Actually... the conversation with Garnett just now is not considered "to please" or "seduce"...it's just acting, acting...so Chrollo, you must not be angry!Xia Ke, you dead brat, I will remember labor and management!It's really enough to make small reports or something!

Charlotte lowered her head, thinking fiercely while maintaining her sitting posture, motionless.

What the knight said did not distort the facts. He said everything according to the situation at that time. It was almost a text version of the scene. If it weren't for what he said now, it might make her unlucky. Charlotte really wanted to cheer him up. Palm or something.

After the knight finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the small space inside the container.

"Ahaha, I forgot to prepare drinking water. I'll be right back after I go out for a while..." Charlotte laughed awkwardly, and stood up as if preparing to run away.

"Sakura." Kuroro's voice sounded.

"...Yes, master, what are your orders?" Charlotte sat down again, obediently ready to be scolded.

"Is the steak good?" The tone was flat, even a little bit of asking.

"...It's bloody and unpalatable, and it's still half-cooked." By the way, Garnett said he would give her steak to enjoy, but old Karen really gave it to her, didn't he mean to annoy her?In the past, she seldom ate steak, and if she wanted to eat it, it was definitely medium rare, but now she is being dragged to eat rare, which is really enough.

"I want to try it." The tone gave off a sense of longing... Hey, Kurolo, are you not broken?

"... Huh?" Charlotte complained in her heart while expressing her confusion - in many ways.

"There is still a year to go, we need to increase our strength." The same words as he said to himself...God turned around and made a foul, explain to the labor and management what is going on!

"Wait..." Charlotte wanted to speak but was interrupted by Kurolo.There was no emotion in Kuroro's dark eyes: "I'm just angry because you are coveted by others, Sakura, you are my slave, and your own things are not allowed to be touched by others. Since you have given it, don't even think about going back. "

Charlotte only felt a sudden chill running up from the end of her spine, her whole back went numb, and a bad premonition filled her brain.

"Soul burning with an intensity of two lasts for eight hours. Even if it hurts, no sound is allowed. The three of us have to sleep." Kuroro said lightly.

"...Yes." When she said this, Charlotte's crisp voice had changed, hoarse and dry, as if she was trying to endure something.Feitan, who was standing beside her, could clearly see that bright red liquid had leaked from Charlotte's clenched fist, the knuckles were bone-white from overuse, and the veins appeared on the back of the hand. It was too dazzling, forcing him to turn his head away, gulp down a piece of bread and fall asleep.

The knight who was the culprit seemed completely unaware that such a thing would happen. He was stunned for a while to see Feitan's actions, and hesitantly learned to do it. However, he still glanced at Charlotte who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word from time to time, and finally He fell into a deep sleep because he was too sleepy.

Kuroro didn't do anything special, it was getting late, he just ate a piece of bread quietly, then lay down with his clothes on, and slept soundly.

When Feitan woke up the next day, the first thing he saw was Charlotte who had passed out on the ground. Kuroro was sitting beside her, using his hands to smooth out the hair that was stained on Charlotte's cheeks due to sweat. It seemed that he was afraid of waking up Charlotte, who was not sleeping soundly.After straightening her hair, she stretched out her fingers to smooth the furrowed eyebrows, the movements were as gentle as a feather.

I really don't understand him.

Feitan looked at Kuroro, such an action, obviously doting on him, right?That being the case, don't punish before.Seeing Charlotte's still clenched fist, Feitan walked over and stretched out his hand to pull away Charlotte's fingers, but Kurolo stopped him.

"She is my slave, whether it is reward or punishment, it is up to me." Kuroro said so, pulling away the curled fingers carefully, but the wound still ruptured because of this action, and once again Blood oozes out, and the accompanying slight pain makes Charlotte snort and open his eyes.

"Good morning, master, Feitan." Charlotte's smile was weak but still gentle.

The burning of the soul for eight hours, although it was not as severe as the burning of the soul of Sakura's punishment, it was still a feeling she hated, painful and scalding, and the memory that was gradually blurred was like paper burning in the fire The butterfly, which turned into ashes, disappeared without a trace when the butterfly wings were stretched.

The soul has also become weaker, although the degree is so low that it can be ignored.

It's just... To be honest, seeing Kuroro's actions at this time, Charlotte really wanted to cover her face: Mr. Captain, what kind of trouble are you doing with such a gentle move... and it was done by a seven-year-old child. This kind of thing happened!Sure enough, it's broken... No, it's too mature to rot...

"Morning." Fei Tan replied, but Kuroro didn't. Instead, he stretched out his hand and pulled Charlotte up, letting her upper body lean against his chest, lowering his head and showing a faint smile: "Morning."

I laughed... I laughed... Labor and management really watch horror movies, right!Or is he planning to slaughter labor and capital?Charlotte was horrified. In her impression of Kuroro's smile, one appeared when he was lying, and the other appeared when his plan succeeded.Now he is smiling at her... It's too scary!And it's so gentle!

For a moment, Charlotte wanted to pinch her own face to see if she was dreaming, but finally held back.

"How are you feeling now?" Kuroro asked.

"I'm fine." Charlotte felt her physical condition, and then replied confidently.

"That's good." Kuroro restrained his smile, stood up straight, and said lightly, "Start training."

"Yes, master." Charlotte replied lying on the ground and raised a hand, turned over, and moved flexibly, and it was impossible to see whether the burning pain in the soul was left behind.

It's normal, it's normal...Charlotte thought happily, something like Honkai...

In fact, Charlotte's thinking is problematic.Kuroro, he is just Kuroro Lusiru now, not the leader of the Phantom Brigade, and he is not 26 years old, but seven years old, a child's age, no matter how mature he is, he still has a child's side , but understand the truth in the dark better than ordinary children.

From a certain point of view, it is unfair to him to use her views and impressions from watching anime in the past to look at the current Kuroro.

The current Kurolo still has the possibility to reveal her heart, but Charlotte didn't go into it. What she has been thinking about, the current Kurolo calls her "slave", compared to the adult's The meaning of "slaves" in the world is more like children's possession of their own things, and they don't want to share them with others. They are stingy and selfish, with the childishness unique to children, but not the desire for monopoly.

If she thought about it a little deeper, maybe...but obviously Charlotte didn't notice this at all now, and she wouldn't think about it for the time being.

Hearing Kuroro's words, Fei Tan and the knight who had just woken up looked at each other, and at the same time saw the bad premonition of what was about to happen in the other's eyes.

The days that followed were boring and boring training sessions.
