Dereliction of duty · 90 years in the new calendar

Those drugs looked dubious, but they were actually tried and found to work well.With proper rest and Mr. Xus' assistance in treatment, Mr. Sui's physical condition recovered quickly.

Although it is still not possible to make big moves, there is no need to continue living in the ward.

Master Xus gave him a one-month vacation (Mr. Sui didn't really focus on his work, so it's just a verbal statement), and he also planned to give Flo an equal length of rest, but Flo weighed it Decided to refuse.

Having already received a lot of care from this lord, if he continues to accept his kindness, Flo will inevitably feel guilty.He knew that Master Xus was just purely kind, and because he knew it, he didn't want to continue killing it.

After talking about his thoughts with Mr. Sui, he expressed his understanding...

On the [-]th, he went to the first shift in June.

He was only halfway there when he felt something was wrong.When he walked until he saw the outer wall of the Demon King's Palace, he always felt that something was missing in his vision.

Flo: (How do you feel...it looks a lot empty?)

The good habit of going to work early instead of pinch-in allows him to take the time to look around.

When he reached the door, he didn't go in directly, but walked around for a while.

He quickly noticed what was missing.

Flo: (There was a small ruin here?)

(The one used by Master Xus as a secret base.)

I remember that about two months ago, he was invited to the base hidden under the ruins.

However, looking at it today, neither the ruins themselves nor the teleportation formation used as the portal are missing at this time.

Flo: (Is it dismantled?)

(I've been tearing things apart recently.)

Xus: - Good morning, anything worth noting?

You look lost.

Flo: ...Huh.

Ah, sorry, I didn't notice.

Xus: Did I scare you?Sorry.

Flo: It was me first, I was in a daze...

Speaking of which, you would, "from the outside"?

The boss, and the one on the top floor of the Demon King's Palace, both of them live in the palace together.

There is a complete set of living facilities in the hall. For them, they can live well even without going out.

Flo noticed that he was carrying several paper bags in his hand.There are colorful bows on the seals of those paper bags, and clouds and rainbows in the style of children's paintings are also drawn on the surface, which looks too cute overall.

Xus: Counting from here, walking a hundred miles to the east, there is a shop specializing in desserts.

It's an acquaintance of mine, it just opened not long ago, I went over to have a look, these are all gifts.

Flo: Huh?so much?

All, did you send it?

Xus: So it is a shop opened by an acquaintance.

He smiled and entered the hall.

After all, as a subordinate, if he had already entered the house, it seemed inappropriate to procrastinate outside.

Thinking of this, Flo followed and happened to be able to ask:

Flo: That...

Xus: Huh?

Flo: How should I put it...that is, at the door.

Originally, wasn't there a piece of ruins?There is still your small base under the ruins.

Why is it, gone?

Xus: After all, it is too miserable to look at, and dismantling must be the first priority.

Don't you know what we—me and Zor, are planning recently?

His words are basically consistent with his guess just now, so there is no need to continue to ask more questions.

The two walked upstairs quietly, and Master Xus unlocked the door.

A stack of paper bags is placed on the shared coffee table.Look at the clock in the room, it's still early.

Compared with when Flo first took office, Master Xus' workload seems to be reduced during this time, so that free time like this becomes real free time instead of being used for overtime.

Xus: Do you have a sweet tooth?

Ah, I personally have absolutely no resistance to sweets.

Flo: Me too.

What's more, because he was so addicted, he still used it before, which shocked Mr. Sui a lot.

When I first met Mr. Sui, I was starving to death at any moment.

After being brought home by him, he first took some snacks to pad his stomach. Flo still remembers the taste of those snacks.

In fact, thinking about it now, Mr. Sui was also poor back then, and those snacks were cheap, which was quite different from the really delicious brands.

Even though it is now possible to eat higher-quality snacks more easily, perhaps there is an emotion, and I still feel that those cheap ones are more delicious.

I tried to convey these thoughts to Mr. Xus, who thought deeply and said with emotion:

Xus: Compared with yours, my reason is much simpler.

Just because I like it naturally.

Flo: Isn't that good, isn't it?

Xus: That's true.

—Here, try it.

Norn was very good at cooking before, and now he has changed to a full-time job. It should be even better.

This name... was also heard at the banquet in late May.At that time, I didn't think much about it. It turned out that the people involved that day were quite... important.

Master Xus had stuffed something into his mouth while thinking about it.

Flo: Eh.

Wait a minute... eh, this is it?

Xus: As you can see, chocolate.

And, in such a short trance of no more than five seconds, Master Xus has already turned a small box of chocolates into an empty box...?The last thing left seems to be this one on the side of his mouth.

Flo: Thanks, thank you...

The author has something to say:

Fixed a small bug in Chapter 29 (changed the speaker of a certain line).

This was my mistake, sorry. (-.-)
