Dereliction of duty · 90 years in the new calendar

Xus: Speaking of which.

Were you also very strong before?

Although he was resting but had nothing to do, Flo lay quietly on the table in a daze.

Master Xus' sudden question made him fall into a short thought.

Flo: No...

In the past, it was considered at best, above average.

It took me a while to get used to the current strength, time is coming.

He only noticed this after he accidentally pinched a paper cup filled with hot boiling water. Before that, he only found that his speech became very awkward.

Then he specially tested his own condition, which was also reflected in yesterday's moving boxes.

Xus: Thank you for your hard work.

what about others?

For example, will there be sudden pain all over the body, or something?

Flo: Uh... no.

Xus: Is that so...

Flo, you... uh, do you remember what kind of attribute you are?

And Sui's, let me confirm.

Flo: Hey, he and I... both belong to water.

However, we all, don't use it much...basically and none, there is no difference.

Master Xus nodded and stopped pestering.Feeling rested enough, Flo started the work in hand.

The file in his hand was stuffed yesterday when he was about to get off work. Master Xus said that it was not particularly important, so he could keep it until the next day.

The content of the document is about... "demolition".The object of demolition is certain buildings outside the Demon King's Palace.

It is said that the former Demon King's Hall was much larger than it is now. Since February and March this year, Mr. Zolf has been working on reducing the volume of the building.

I also heard...the ultimate goal is to make this place cease to exist...but it will not be so serious for the time being. consider.

Flo: (Though it's his decision.)

(Such a big and luxurious Demon King Palace...it would be a pity to tear it down.)

...Why do you want to dismantle it?

Xus: Huh?

Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly, can you repeat that?

Flo froze for a moment, then realized that he seemed to be accidentally talking to himself.

That being the case, he didn't deal with the matter, and simply expressed his doubts.

Flo: This file...

Here, do you really want to tear it down?

Xus: Hmm.

It was just a whim at first, and then slowly realized that it was overdue.

You also think that there are too few people here, right?

Flo: Exactly.

Can I... ask, why?

Xus: ...

It was decided after you and Sui came here.

I feel a little bit terrified of what you two went through, that's all.

He said vaguely, but he didn't want to talk about it in detail.

And it is only now that I don't know when, there have been several piles of paper piled up on his desk.

It's just a guess, whether the reason Master Xus is always busy during this period is related to the demolition of the Demon King's Palace.

When he was thinking wildly, Mr. Sui finally pushed the door in - it was almost half an hour past the normal working hours.

Mr Sui looked annoyed.

Sui: Flo.

when did you get here.

Flo: Ah, this...

Xus: Hey, don't be too aggressive.

Before that, can't you correct your problem of being late?

Sui: Tsk.

Mr. Sui shook his head angrily, still full of resentment.Under Master Xus's small verbal threats, he obediently walked to the desk... He didn't go to his own, but pulled out a chair and sat beside Flo.

Flo: (Too close...)

Flo quietly decided to ignore the giant baby beside him.

Sui: Here, the printing pad.

When I was about to stamp the seal, the printing pad was handed to a very convenient position at hand.

Flo frowned, finally accepting.

Similarly, Mr. Sui successively handed over colored marker pens, adhesive tapes and other small items that required a little rummaging.

Flo: ... Mr. Sui.

What are you doing?

Sui: Nothing.

Is it okay to beat you up occasionally?

From the corner of his eye, Flo looked at his boss in the other corner of the office. Master Xus didn't pay much attention to the situation here, and he was almost buried in his small world.

It seems that unless Mr. Sui makes a big move, he intends to ignore it completely.

Flo: You're... making me feel weird.

It's not like, you'd make, thing.

Flo doesn't doubt Mr. Sui's feelings for her, but...

He has a rather arrogant personality and rarely puts on a low profile.

After being told by Flo, loneliness flashed across his face for a moment.

I saw him purse his lips, and without saying a word, he took the unprocessed ones on the table and began to look through them.

Flo: (Ah... really lost.)

(Instead of helping me, you should take care of your own business, Mr. Sui.)

Flo: If you keep doing this... I'll just have nothing to do.

Please, go back quickly, okay?

Sui: Why?

He's different, of course, so he intensifies, moving the chair closer until Flo has to make physical contact with him.

A hand ran down the back, around the neck, all the way to Flo's elbow.Fortunately, Flo is not left-handed like Master Xus, otherwise he would not even be able to write.

Sui: ...a little bit.

Let me lean on for a while.

Before he finished speaking, his head rested on his shoulders.

The tip of the hair scratched near the base of the ear, which made Flo tremble a little.

Flo: (No way...)

Flo usually turned his attention to his boss when he asked for help.Fortunately, Master Xus happened to take a look at this side. Unfortunately, he chose to watch the show.

At this time, it is hard to imagine that Mr. Sui's posture lasted for three to five days.
