Dereliction of duty · 90 years in the new calendar

In the early morning, before they could fall asleep, they were woken up by a knock on the door.

It wasn't the door that knocked, it was the bedroom.

Xus: (…)

(at such a time...)

Fortunately, I haven't slept deeply yet, although I'm quite reluctant, it doesn't cause too much anger.

In contrast, Zor next to him was not so good-tempered. He became very upset all of a sudden, and left the bed first to see who was so "picking time".

Zolf: Trespassing is not something to be admired!

Light up the lights to illuminate the dark hallway.A woman stood outside the door, holding their cat in her arms.

After being scolded, she felt a little guilty, bowed her head slightly and apologized softly.

After Zor's anger passed, she said quietly:

123: I'm almost going back.

Zolf: Oh oh.

Thank you, and I was still thinking about saying goodbye - early morning, now it is.

Xus: Don't be so childish, Zor.

Grabbing a casual coat and putting it on, Xus also came to the door.He lightly touched the guy's shoulder, telling Zor to step back and talk to this strange friend himself.

This friend has never divided day and night, and it has been like this since we met.

Xus: How was the harvest?

123: Not so good.

Originally, I just came here to rest, take a vacation or something, it doesn't matter - if I don't go back home, I'm afraid there will be a mess.

Besides, stay any longer—the rain won't stop.

She scratched under the cat's head with her fingers a few times, and the three-month-old kitten rebelled into her arms like this, and was extremely obedient.

...Anyway, the original owner was her, so it was only natural to go back.

Xus: On vacation... wait.

Could it be that he was avoiding "him"?

Claiming to have a scholar-level identity, this friend has a very close man by her side, and men are generally used by her as assistants.

I also wonder why I haven't seen that person's shadow at all in the past few days. If I think so, it makes sense.

123: Yes, it's very annoying.

——I'm even worried that he has demolished the house now.

Xus: ...You should act a little more nervous, okay?

So, today is "goodbye"?

next time?

123: I don't know, if there are no major changes——I haven't seen you for decades.

Although no matter where we are, we really want to visit with ease.

After finishing speaking, she nodded to signal, and just like that, she took the kitten and disappeared in front of her eyes in an instant.

There was only one formation left on the ground, and within a second, the last trace disappeared in the air.

Staring blankly at the place where she disappeared, Zor shook his head and sighed:

Zolf: Comes weirdly, goes weirdly.

Should I say..."As expected of her"?

Xus: I agree.

I fell asleep, so sleepy.

I didn't bother to take off the clothes I just put on, anyway, they were loose enough to wear as pajamas.

Getting into the warm blanket, Xus ripped off half of the blanket, leaving only a small corner for Zor.

Zolf: Hey, what do you do if I catch a cold?

Xus: Didn't you say that idiots don't catch colds?don’t worry.

According to this principle, you will never get sick in your life.

Zolf: ...Oh.

He didn't continue to talk to himself? Xus felt a little weird.

Hearing the people behind him gradually calm down, and the sound of breathing getting into rhythm, Xus looked back suspiciously...

But he was stared straight at him by his piercing blue eyes.

Zolf: What?

Can't bear it?

Xus: Not at all.

Xus grunted and turned around.

I planned not to leave him tonight, but suddenly, there was a body temperature from behind, and he was hugged even with a quilt.

Zor's movements are like hugging a pillow.

Zolf: Nah.

...Are you, should you tell me about that cat?

After all, it has been raised for several months.When it was taken away just now, although Xus didn't react on the surface, he felt more or less empty in his heart.

Xus: She called the cat "Obsidian".

The name doesn't matter... In May, did I mention that it was also one of the "experimental products"?

Zolf: It seems that there is... It was mentioned when I read some strange research reports.

Wow, I actually remember?

Isn't it amazing! ……Aha.

Xus: Yes, yes, Zor is the best.

In terms of age, maybe Obsidian is older than both of us.

Zolf: ...

Ok.

He didn't seem to be able to accept this sudden statement, but he didn't doubt the authenticity of his words.

With this trust, Xus felt a little more at ease.

Xus: Research... is suspicious.

The content seems to want to strip the spiritual power from the human body... Ah, that's right.

Suddenly realizing, Xus immediately rolled over and got out of bed, and opened the bedside table.

There are two small drawers on the top of the bedside table, where the personal items of two people are placed respectively.

Even in a cohabitation relationship, it does not mean that everything has to be shared with each other, and it is important to retain a little personal space.

What Xus wanted to grab was the little red beads that had helped so much during this wet time.

It's something that Flo was given some time ago.

Xus: This, seems to be the finished product.

Although the effect is not so strong, at least it has improved.

Zolf: Oh...interesting.

Haha——sorry, see you at dawn...
