Dereliction of duty · 90 years in the new calendar

About an hour later, Mr. Sui walked in, drenched all over.

Xus: ...

Don't catch a cold, go on.

Noticing his miserable state, Master Xus immediately put away the things in his hand, took out a towel from the drawer and threw it to him.

Throwing and receiving are accurate, he started to rub from the hair.Let's just dry off the exposed part of the body, the clothes really can't help.

Xus: If it's like this, don't come here.

Compared with whether you miss work or not, I think health comes first anyway.

Flo: (Never expect Mr. Sui to work hard, actually.)

(...It was a little unexpected that he actually came.)

There wasn't much to do anyway, so Flo got up and left to help the guy with the parts he couldn't reach.

There seemed to be an infinite number of towels in Master Xus's drawer, so he brought over a few more and said that he would try to suck up his clothes.

Sui: How should I put it?

Just... a sudden sense of guilt?

Xus: I really don't understand how you young people feel.

...Although I want to say, there are my clothes in the closet.

You can't fit in it, sure.

There is a small wardrobe in the corner, but only Master Xus uses it, and there are some ordinary clothes in it.

The height difference between the two is more than 20 centimeters...the consequences can be imagined.

Sui: Haha...

Is it my fault for being too tall?Cut off the legs.

Xus: No, don't say that even as a joke.

I'll go find Zor, his clothes should be enough for you.

After speaking, Master Xus briefly explained some matters, and left here temporarily.

Leave the young people here looking at each other.

After hesitating for a while, Flo sighed and asked:

Flo: What's wrong?

It's not like the usual Mr. Sui anymore.

Sui: Hey, I'm sad. Well, you put it that way.

……

Looking at the rainy day at home, I don't know why, and suddenly feel a little sad.

There is still thunder, and a person always feels panicked.

Flo: Not a kid anymore.

Are you afraid of thunder?

Sui: Yeah, I'm not too scared, really.

Don't you think that this loud bang without warning is very annoying?

Flo: (Definitely scared.)

(...What a surprise, even Mr. Sui has a cute side.)

Sui: ...

Have some ghost ideas popped into your head?

Flo: Hmm.

I was thinking, Mr. Sui still has this kind of weakness.

It feels like it will come in handy in the future.

He smiled, his expression and tone made Mr. Sui shiver.

The latter frowned, as if feeling some kind of crisis, he swung the towel around Flo's neck and pulled the man into his chest.

But after all, his body was completely wet, so he didn't use any strength, leaving half an arm's length away.

Sui: You've been a lot more talkative recently.

But don't even try to mess things up.

Flo: Yes yes yes, I convinced you.

Cold?It must be very windy outside?

Sui: Not bad.

Get used to it as you walk.

Ah... the floor.

He might have a guilty conscience, and lowered his head in a shrunken appearance.

So he saw that the ground under his feet was already horrible.Fortunately, the construction quality of the Demon King's Palace is quite high, and water did not seep into the structure.

If you move around, the water stains may be too large. Flo told him to wait there and find a rag or mop by himself.

Sui: Are you bothering me...

Sure enough, you should stay at home.

Flo: Yes, I also told Master Xus that you probably need to take a leave of absence.

Anyway, Master Xus never blamed you, so there's no need to endure this kind of weather.

Sui: I feel more guilty because I don't blame you, okay?

By the way...well, today, what are the scheduled jobs?

Should I do something real?

Sure enough, Mr. Sui today is very strange, he would take the initiative to bring up the word work.

Flo eyed the man suspiciously from the bottom up, seeing nothing special except for the feature of being soaked.

Not long after, Master Xus returned to the room with a change of clothes.

Xus: Wait.

……

Is my timing wrong?

Flo: Huh?What's the meaning?

Master Xus' eyes wandered between the two of them a few times, then he squinted thoughtfully and nodded.

That expression seemed to have enlightened to some great truth in life, although Flo had no idea what was going on.

Sui: I say you.

Leaving aside his appearance, he often claims to be an old man, but he is a bit more dignified.

Xus: Compared to a pure old man, my body capital is pretty good.

Anyway, the mentality is not completely old, so it doesn't matter.

——Try it quickly, whether you can wear it or not, this is the biggest piece of Zor's clothes.

It is folded when you hug it, and you can see its whole picture when you unfold it.

It was a robe of predominantly white color, inlaid with dull gold thread at the edges.There are some symmetrical patterns with unknown meanings, but they are not conspicuous, and the overall look is very eye-catching.

Where have you seen similar styles? Flo was lost in thought for a moment.

Sui: ...Thank you.

Is it really possible?let me wear it.

Xus: I have obtained his consent, so you can wear it.

It's rare to borrow from you with good intentions, do you want to refuse?

Sui: Uh... alright.

It still feels a little small after a gesture, which is better than wet.

Master Xus walked to the corner and said with a smile that he would not peek.
