Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Zero Zero's Beloved Friends

Not long after, Furuya Rei came out again with the can of Coke. As Olga looked at him puzzled, he handed her the can with the straw inserted. "Drink it while you're sitting down. Don't choke, or I won't be able to change my appearance, and I'll have to take the original you to the hospital for emergency treatment."

Olga: “…”

Olga glared at Rei Furuya, but he ignored her and tied his apron again, apparently intending to continue cleaning.

Olga deliberately began to slowly tilt the can in her hand, staring at Fūya Rei's every move with a barely perceptible smug expression on her face.

"Also, don't spill the Coke, or you'll have to clean it up yourself," Furiya Rei said naturally, even though he didn't even notice Olga's actions. "After all, the sofa is yours to sleep on."

Olga: “…”

Well, that’s great. I’m just a little bit short of cola and about to fall on the sofa.

Olga bit the straw viciously and started sipping the Coke, staring at Furuya Rei's every move without blinking, as if she wanted to stare a hole in him.

But Jōgu Rinleng seemed unaware of anything and continued doing what he was doing.

After staring at him for a while, Olga, who hadn't received any response, became bored and leaned back on the sofa, slurping her happy fat water. "Being a nanny is such a waste of your talent. You should be a childcare worker."

At night, Olga once again rejected Rei Furuya's suggestion to sleep on the sofa while she slept on the bed, saying that she only loved the sofa. Seeing her insistence, Rei Furuya gave up on the idea of ​​respecting the elderly and loving the young, and after saying goodnight to Olga, he returned to his room.

Olga lay on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in the dark, thinking.

In the bedroom, Fūya Rei turned off the lights and turned on his cell phone again. The dim light from the phone screen shone on his face, and his pupils reflected the content of the secret text message on the screen.

With his brows slightly furrowed, Fūya Rei quickly typed a few words on his mobile phone.

After a pause of nearly a minute, Fūya Rei's fingertips remained on the "Send" button but did not press it.

There was another long silence, and then Ling Furuya suddenly deleted what he had just typed, retyped "understood", and sent it.

After putting away his phone, Fūya Rei lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Finally, he closed his eyes and murmured self-deprecatingly: "...Just a little kid..."

The day after Olga scammed Rei Kouya, breakfast was made by Rei Kouya himself.

Olga thought she would see a dark dish, but she didn't expect the actual effect to be much better than she imagined.

"You can make something as boring as a sandwich so delicious. It's really a waste of your talent, Lingling, if you don't work in a coffee shop." Olga mumbled incoherently while eating.

"What does being good at making sandwiches have to do with a coffee shop?" Furiya Rei said with amusement as he watched Olga wolf down her food. "Also, what's that weird nickname 'Rei'?"

Although Olga was reluctant to ruin the latte art on the coffee, she still took a sip for the sake of the sweetness in the coffee: "Because you make good coffee too, look at this latte art——" Gin could never do that!

"As for 'Lingling' - since you won't tell me your last name, I can only call you by your first name." Olga said confidently, without any guilt at all for changing someone's name into a reduplicated word without her permission.

"After all, you didn't tell me your full name." Furuya Rei also sipped his coffee. Compared to Olga's inelegant manner, he seemed much more relaxed.

"No way, you really do listen to your friend," Olga swallowed the last bite of her sandwich, took another big gulp of coffee, and then looked at Furuya Rei with half-moon eyes, "Are you the friend who has a crush on you?"

Jianggu Ling: "..."

Fūya Rei nearly choked on his coffee. After coughing a few times, he held his forehead helplessly and said, "What on earth are kids thinking these days..."

“Hehe——”

Before Olga could put on a triumphant expression, a tissue was suddenly handed to her.

Now, Olga's declaration of victory was also blocked in her mouth.

She took the tissue and wiped her mouth with a depressed look. Just as she was about to make a "shooting" gesture towards the trash can, the crumpled tissue was taken away by Fūya Rei, who then walked to the trash can and threw it in.

"Hey, Lingling, are you a germaphobe?" Olga leaned back, put two legs of the four-legged chair on the ground, and rocked it for fun.

Fūya Rei came over again, held the back of the chair, and straightened it: "Be careful not to fall."

Olga: “…”

Olga was completely out of temper and had no idea what to do.

Suddenly, her eyes rolled and she thought of something: "Hey, Lingling, let's go find your most beloved friends and play with them."

Upon hearing this, the expression on Rei Furuya's face froze for a moment, but since his back was facing Olga, Olga didn't notice it.

Soon, Furuya Ling sat down with a normal expression and took another sip of coffee: "No."

Olga asked seriously: "Why not go?" People all like to play with friends, right?

Furuya Ling deliberately said, "You don't understand Japanese, and they don't speak English well either. What are you going to do with them?"

Olga: “…”

Olga successfully diverted the topic. She looked depressed: "Japanese is not easy to learn."

This was the first time Olga took the initiative to mention something about herself. Although Furuya Rei still looked like he was leisurely drinking coffee, he had already been concentrating with all his might.

This is——

Important information.

As if to prove her own strength, Olga continued, "French, German, Spanish... I can even speak Russian, but Japanese is really hard to learn. It's not my fault."

Hearing Olga's emphatic tone, Furuya Rei smiled and said, "Your family must really value you, since you've learned so many languages ​​at such a young age."

Olga's emotionless eyes swept over Furuya Rei, but her face was full of expressions. She looked like a rebellious child complaining about the strict dogma at home.

"I'm the worst of my generation. One of my older sisters is a year older than me and is already pursuing her second doctorate."

Jiang Guling: "..." Disrespectful.

"But is it really okay to run away from home like this?" Since Olga claimed to be a "runaway child", Furuya Ling no longer regarded her as a "lost child".

"snort."

Furiya Rei could clearly feel that when this topic was mentioned, Olga's mood was not so good.

"They'll find me sooner or later anyway," Olga gulped down several more sips of coffee, the way she would drink Coke. "Besides, it's not my fault for running away this time. It's all because of Qin—that person, she's so stingy!"

Jianggu Ling: "..."

Olga had already finished a whole cup of coffee, and Furiguchi Rei suspected she mistook coffee and Coke for the same drink. Oh, no, she still savored the Coke carefully.

"Even if the BOS—that's what, the clan leader—even if the clan leader comes in person, this matter cannot be blamed on me."

Olga looked very righteous, as if she had no guilt at all about running away from home.

Rei Furuya listened quietly as Olga complained about the harshness and ruthlessness of their "family." While many things might seem a little funny from a child's perspective, the essence of the matter remained unchanged.

After a long while, Furuya Ling suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about leaving 'home'?"

After saying this, Fūya Rei was stunned for a moment and realized his gaffe.

Fortunately, Olga probably didn't understand what he meant. She asked curiously, "Didn't I already 'run away from home'?"

Fūya Ling smiled and fell silent again. Even if the other person was just a child, this kind of compassion was very dangerous.

At the moment when Fūya Rei lowered his eyes, Olga looked at him, and the expression on her face changed several times.

After a long silence, Olga suddenly said, "How am I supposed to live if I leave 'home'?"

Fūya Rei looked at her, only to find that she was also looking at him, with all the expressions on her face gone. Under the sunlight, she looked like an exquisite doll without any self-awareness.

Furuya Rei didn't know what to say, so he just stared at Olga in silence.

Finally, Olga was the first to look away, looking at the white dove flying across the blue sky outside the window: "I've been there since I was born..."

This time, Olga didn't even use the word "home" to refer to the organization. Her implication was self-evident, and Furuya Rei naturally understood it.

However, Furuya Rei couldn't "get it." So, he stood up, took the dishes back to the kitchen, and asked Olga, "Where do you want to go today?"

At that time, Olga was sitting on a lounge chair by the window, squinting her eyes and lazily basking in the sun.

"Go play with your friends."

As Olga expected, Furuya Reiichi refused again.

Olga didn't feel much. She wasn't disappointed by what she had just said, nor was she angry at what Rei Furuya had said. In her daily life, she rarely felt troubled by these emotions.

Likewise, Olga rarely has positive emotions. Therefore, she has no particular interest in any particular place in Tokyo. Olga rarely has anything that interests her.

Of course, she did meet someone she was interested in. Although that interest was fading...

"How about we stay here and play cards or chess?" Olga turned around and looked at Rei Furuya. She knew that Rei Furuya would definitely agree.

As expected, Furuya Rei said, "Okay."
