Dereliction of duty · 90 years in the new calendar

And, just now, I also felt that the remaining two names were a bit familiar, as if I had heard them somewhere.

There is a female named "Alf" and a male named "Norn".

... Isn't this a lady assistant, and a former friend of Master Xus?Because he didn't mention it much, Flo didn't think of it at the first time, and it took a while before he came back to his senses.

Xus: Weird?

Flo: Eh.

It's okay... why, the number of people has decreased, and there are.

I don't know, it turns out that these two have always had friendship with us.

Xus: Hmm, you're wondering about this.

Come one by one—other irrelevant personnel are already being dismissed; they are both just borrowing our name, and there are many materials that are sold very expensive outside in the inventory of the Demon King Palace.

Flo: (...Speaking of which, how does this place survive?)

(Although the wages are paid on time every month... It's a bit strange to think about it suddenly.)

Master Xus... um, a little rude.

Demon King Palace, how do you live?It's not a business, nor is it, like the church, relying on faith for income.

Xus: ...Well.

How should I put it, as long as you think about it, there is always a way, isn't it?

It seems that the lord does not intend to tell him the truth anymore, and the knowledgeable Flo does not intend to continue asking.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Sui, who was supposed to be asleep at the side, suddenly started talking.

Sui: It doesn't have to be some shady way.

I also feel that there used to be a lot of people "as if" here, so where are they "now"?

Said it was dismissed, maybe it was sold.

Maybe, while we were talking, that Zolf was looking for a corner to bury the body.

Flo: Mr. Sui!

Said, too much!

Xus: Haha, it's okay.

In a sense it is true.

Flo: ...Huh?

Flo and Sui glared at the lord at the same time in surprise, the latter just smiled mysteriously and walked back to the table.

Picking up the documents on the desktop casually, he threw himself into work in a blink of an eye.

As if hinting, he deliberately picked up a stack and put it on the table for a while.The stack of documents had titles in unusually large font.

Flo: (The title is the date...in the last month.)

Master Xus, what is that?

Xus: The thing that records the flow of personnel, I went to the archives just now to get it.

Hey, if you listen to me, maybe you can sneak a peek on the road.

No chance now - it's classified.

While speaking, he picked up the seal in hand and printed the word "confidential" on it on the spot.

The actions and words together angered Sui, who was already in a delicate mood, he bounced up and rushed to the table to snatch it.

Xus: That's not okay, Sui.

Don't look at me like this, I am very confident in speed.

——Although if you strictly follow the scoring standards, you should be slightly worse than you, but you are definitely not as good as me in terms of experience.

He is telling the truth.All in all, it was definitely a wrong choice to go head-to-head with Master Xus.

This truth was quickly confirmed, even if Mr. Sui stretched out his hand to grab it, he would never be able to shake it anyway.

When he was tired, Master Xus still smiled gently.

Xus: What's wrong?

You seem very unconvinced.

Sui: ...

Hey, don't sit still, do you dare to compete seriously?

Flo: Come on!

Flo rushed forward and tried to pull Mr. Sui away.

But his feet were as hard to move as if they were glued to the ground.

Although you can use brute force to forcibly pull it away, but if you don't know how to restrain your strength, you may cause strain to Mr. Sui's body.

Xus: - Yes.

But not today.

Zor is currently cleaning up the facility in the northern corner, which was used as an arena many years ago.

It is expected to be cleaned the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Do you want to try that one last time before tearing it down?

Sui: So, what is the penalty for winning or losing?

Xus: Hmm...

It doesn't matter to me, if I win, don't be lazy next time you clean up and tidy things up.

What about you?

Sui: ...

I have some questions I want to ask.

Xus: Got it - three, is that enough?

Up to five.Even if I'm willing to gamble and admit defeat, I can't expose the whole truth here.

If you can accept it, it's settled. I'll let you know as soon as it's done over there.

The two of them reached a consensus in this way...

Hearing this, Flo panicked from the bottom of his heart.

Flo: Hit, interrupt...

You guys, are you really... uh, okay?

Xus: Huh?

Don't worry, don't worry, sometimes you just need to fight to make the relationship better.

——Although this is just my one-sided idea.

Sui: ...it's okay.

In this way, I can have a place in my heart, no matter whether I win or not.

... The atmosphere is very delicate, at least the attitudes of these two people are very clear.

Seeing this, Flo had a headache, but there was nothing he could do.

If it was possible, he certainly didn't want to see these two arguing with each other, but in his capacity, he didn't have any qualifications to stop them.

Flo: (...Is it really okay, this kind of thing.)

(Why is Master Xus still smiling so happily...is this a good thing?)

(It's really... I don't understand what kind of circuit these two people have in their minds.)

Then, as Master Xus said, three days later, the so-called arena opened.
