The cat of the hunter of the thorn princess

Illumi feels a little strange recently. Although the servants at home can't see anything unusual on the surface, their eyes sometimes make him feel a little unnatural, as if with some inexplicable... fanaticism?Especially when he called Nuka to talk, there were always a lot of eyes focused...

"Illumi." Nuka respectfully put the black tea on the left hand side of the chair. She called out to attract his attention, and then seemed to be very natural... gently tiptoed and wiped off a drop of cream on the corner of his mouth with her fingers.

"It's stained with cream..." The touch of the little finger on the corner of the mouth was clearly imprinted on the skin, and Illumi's expressionless face froze for a moment.

"...Huh?" Tilting his head and looking at him suspiciously, Nuka's purple eyes had a hint of smile besides innocence.

"You..." Just as he was about to speak, he was suddenly interrupted by a sudden noise not far away. Turning around, he saw the maid pruning the flowers and plants hastily picked up the tools that fell on the ground, and was scrambling to make amends at the moment.

"Come with me." Grabbing Nuka's hand, the figures of the two disappeared from the sight of others after a few ups and downs.These may have been commonplace in the past, but now...

"There's something wrong with you." Trapped under a certain tree with one hand, Illumi took out a nail with his right hand and narrowed his eyes slightly to Nuka.

"Nuka...what's wrong?" The weather is gradually entering the early summer, and Nuka looks very energetic in a white shirt and black suit vest. She looks up at Illumi with a puzzled expression.

"What are you going to do?" Suspecting that she was playing dumb, but Illumi put away the nails and pinched her chin with his hand.

"Nuka...is Illumi's housekeeper already, isn't she?" There was stubbornness and grievance in her voice.

"...Huh? You mean you will give up Qi Ya completely?" There was no emotion or temptation in the dark eyes, but the tone was gloomy and dangerous.

"I've already left, haven't I... Is there a choice?" Nuka said, biting his lip, with the corners of his eyes drooping slightly, and the tear mole on the lower right was very conspicuous.

"You know the consequences of lying to me, Nuka." He forcefully forced her to raise her head, and found a flash of hatred and sarcasm in her eyes, and said with those pink lips curled up.

"Illumi, people in Meteor Street are not loyal, don't you know... If you give me away... I will do the same to other 'masters'." Some self-defeating words are indeed like a forced reaction, Illumi After staring at her for a while, I found a trace of madness in it.

"You are my... butler." The words fell... A tall black shadow covered it, taking all the breath from the immature girl's stubborn expression.

At this time, Jiqiu, who was supposed to be out on a mission, had just stepped into the gate, when suddenly she stood still... Interlaced red lines appeared on her calm electronic eyes, and she tightly covered the corners of her mouth with a white feather fan.

"Ilumi..." With a low murmur, there was still Kiqiu's tall figure on the spot.

A few nights later, when Nuka was sitting in her room, she used her circle to sense Illumi gradually going away.With a slight smile, he picked up the mobile phone on the table and dialed a number he knew by heart. After several rings, he was picked up.

"Uh huh, who~" Hisoka stood in a dark alley, and pulled out a blood-stained poker card from the corpse of the man under his feet. Today's luck is not very good... He didn't meet the favorite apple at all.

"It's me... Hisoka."

"Oh? Do you have anything to do with me?" He obviously said that the other party would definitely contact him in an expectant tone at the beginning, but now he responded with a dull and indifferent face.

"Well, Hisoka...do you want to make a deal with me, using the way of Meteor Street." The voice on the phone was very calm, as if he didn't care about Hisoka's erratic attitude.

"Oh? Tell me~"

We talked on the phone with the other party for about 10 minutes, until Nuka heard Hisoka's trembling and excited laughter at the moment before hanging up, and she knew that he agreed...

At the moment in the restaurant of the main house, Jeno is sitting at the end of the rectangular dining table, Shiba and Kiqiu are sitting on his left and right, Illumi and Miji are sitting on the left side of Shiba in turn, and the youngest Kurt is sitting on Kiqiu Right.

Everyone ate their dinner in silence, good dining etiquette keeping the house silent.The moment Jeno and Shiba put down the tableware, Illumi wiped his mouth and ended today's dinner, while Miji beside him was already on pins and needles, wishing he could fly back to his safe room immediately.At this moment, Kiqiu snorted and stopped everyone from moving away.

"Ilumi, Mom has something to ask you." Everyone looked at Kiqiu, only to see her holding a folded fan at the corner of her mouth, turning her head slightly to look at Ilumi sitting opposite.

"Because the last blind date failed, you have to take part in another blind date in the near future. Dad, dear, you can't indulge Illumi anymore this time!" Said in a seldom serious tone , Kicho's reaction made Shiba raise his eyebrows unexpectedly.

"Mom, I think it's better for you to clarify with the other party before going on a blind date, such as the conditions for marrying me." Then, under the watchful eyes of the family, Illumi calmly repeated the 'marriage requirements' explained to Nora .

After speaking briefly and clearly, he looked around at the expressions of the people around him. They really... each had their own characteristics.

"Mi Chi, do you have anything to say?" The fat man who was watched by the elder brother quickly flattened the corners of his twitching mouth, shook his head and said no.

"Illumi! You have never told mom about this, and besides... Mom will never agree!" Several green lines burst out of Kiqiu's eyes, who remained calm for less than a minute and then became hysterical, representing her current situation. The mood is quite irritable.

"Honey!!" Shiba, who had a headache from his wife's screaming voice, turned around and looked at the eldest son who was even more troublesome, and said with a sigh.

"Illumi, didn't you agree to leave it to the family to arrange, why did you suddenly change your mind?" Grandpa Jeno thoughtfully stroked his beard while Shiba was asking.

"Father, if it weren't for the unfair sharing system at home, I wouldn't be so busy every day, you know..." Illumi became talkative when talking about money, which even grandpa couldn't stand.

Xiba looked at his son who was obviously changing the subject in a dark line, and then at his wife who was still in Sisth at the opposite table, so he decided to end the dinner time with a big wave of his hand.Illumi escaped successfully, Kiqiu chased Shiba and went on a rampage, while Miji and Kurt, who had no right to speak, went back to their respective rooms, looking for their mothers...

Mom was very strange today, Illumi was walking back to the room, he wondered if something unexpected had happened in the past few days.

After two months like this, Nuka and Illumi's mutual 'testing' continued, but rumors of an affair between the two were secretly spread among the maids.Nuka, who had achieved her goal, did not stop her, but felt a little annoyed by Illumi's abnormal desire to control recently. Although she knew this was just to confirm whether she had really given up on Qi Ya's test, but it really Just because of Chi Ya?Sometimes looking at Illumi's dark eyes, she will have a little bit of doubt...

Unable to get used to the intimate contact and the increasingly strange and weird atmosphere, everything seems to be silent as time goes by... It caused some subtle changes in the relationship between the two, and also increased her determination to carry out 'that plan'.

"Come in." Illumi's room was much larger than Kiya's, and there was a square bathtub in the bathroom for taking a bath.When Nuka pushed the door open and entered, Illumi just happened to come out from inside, wrapped in a short towel, sat on the bench with her straight back turned and her back facing her, long black hair hanging down to her waist.

Taking a deep breath, Nuka walked in calmly, knelt down behind her and brushed her loose long hair to her chest, blinked her eyes blinded by water vapor, picked up the soft brush for scrubbing in her hand and began to massage the man. rub your back.

"Where did you go this afternoon?"

The little hand paused, and then Nuka said obediently while brushing from top to bottom.

"I was called by Mrs. Kicho to try on clothes..." Recently, Kicho saw her in the housekeeper's building. She suddenly screamed and dragged her away, and then there was a constant stream of dressing time. Nuka, who had no right to resist, could only Let Ki Qiu toss, but only intermittently... the electronic eyes that can't read emotions sometimes make her back feel cold.

"Next time, don't exceed 2 hours." The man's slightly hoarse voice came, and the steam in the bathroom blocked the sight of each other...but it made Nuka's heartbeat speed up for no reason.This is not the first time she has rubbed Illumi's back after becoming the exclusive housekeeper, but since that kiss...she always feels a little stressed...

"...Is Illumi worried about me?" Her little white hands trembled slightly as she said the words she had to die.

"……"Worry?Illumi frowned invisibly, he thought it was impossible to have such emotions towards people outside his family, he just didn't like things out of control, especially the... personal items that he had marked.

Illumi didn't speak and Nuka was also relieved. Although everything was planned, but to be honest...except in front of outsiders, she didn't want to have too much 'contact' with Ilumi alone.Especially when it becomes increasingly difficult to figure out his thoughts...

"Illumi, Nuka is going out first." Standing up, she turned around without looking sideways and was about to leave. When she took the first step, she was suddenly grabbed by the hand behind her.Nuka didn't notice his foot slipped for a moment...

"...Well." The back didn't hurt too much because it hit some hard muscles, but the wet and slippery floor tiles in the bathroom made her unable to stand up for a moment, and the hot temperature of Illumi's skin was transmitted through the shirt.

"Let... Illumi?" Taking a deep breath, she squeezed the arm around her waist, and Nuka pretended to be puzzled and turned her head to look at Ilumi who was close to her back.

The eyes of the two intersected in the air. Those dark and deep eyes made her feel a little flustered, and Nuka held her breath... 10 years old can no longer be classified as a child on Meteor Street. Anything can happen at this age.

"...strange." Illumi murmured, looking down at her lost in thought.

Just now, when he saw her leave, he subconsciously grabbed her hand, and the body that slipped and fell in his arms all reminded that this was a strange other individual, but the body took the lead very naturally.Originally, it was just a game to teach the younger brother, and then it would end when Qiya came back...

"Or simply..."

The big hands covered from top to bottom carried Nuka's very bad premonition, thinking that Illumi was determined to kill her in advance, Nuka gritted his teeth and looked at Ilumi as calmly as possible.

"Illumi, don't let Kiya... find a chance to hate you." If you don't 'show off' the toy you have tamed in front of him, you won't be able to achieve the effect he wants.As the younger brother grew up, Illumi gradually felt that he was becoming more and more disobedient...

"Ah, it seems to be." Looking at her little face with a little fear, did I say what to do... Illumi rolled her eyes and relaxed her grip.

"... Nuka is leaving first." As the bathroom door was closed again, Nuka didn't dare to look at the scorching sight behind her that could not be ignored.
