Chapter 90: Lanqi is just a little bit away from heaven

In the early morning of the capital city of Ikerit, the sky was filled with a light blue. In this cool autumn, the air in the whole city was particularly fresh.

On the east side of Ikerite College, after crossing two streets, there are mostly shops on the street.

Smoke wafted from a small restaurant, along with the aroma of oatmeal and cheese for breakfast.

Lanqi stood at the door of the store with a slightly puzzled expression, looking up at the two-story wooden house with a typical architectural style. There was a sign at the door with "Cat Boss Restaurant" engraved on it.

Although the entire building is made of slightly rustic brown wood, its shape and decoration are full of old Victorian charm. The large roof is gracefully curved, and the eaves extend far beyond the walls, giving a spacious feeling. The space under the eaves forms a balcony where one can relax, talk, or even dine. A string of wind chimes is hung under the deep eaves, which emit pleasant bell sounds whenever a breeze blows.

This is what Talia told Ranch, her new address.

It seems that although it is a restaurant, the second floor is also rented out as a hostel.

If he rents here for a long time, the rent should not be very high. The most important thing is that Lanqi believes that the food here must be very unique and delicious, which is why it is favored by the food detector Talia.

As soon as Lanqi pushed open the door, with a series of "ding-ling~ding-ling~" sounds, the restaurant's exquisite pavilion structure came into view. The simple layout divided the tables and chairs on the first floor into several areas. In addition to the counter at the door, there was the entrance to the back kitchen or the second floor.

It seems that this store does not specialize in breakfast, so there are not many customers at this time, and even the clerk behind the counter has to take care of the waiter's job of delivering food.

"Hello, I'd like to look for Miss Tata who lives here with you."

Lanqi waited leisurely in front of the counter for a while, until the waitress who served the food returned behind the counter, then asked.

"Ms. Tata... I'm sorry, I just started working in this store recently, so I'm not familiar with the residents living in the store."

The clerk looked a little confused, then apologized and explained to Lanqi.

She looks very young and seems to be of the same age as me, working part-time here.

"If you can describe her features, I can go to the second floor and help you find her, although I can't tell you which room the guest lives in."

The saleslady said in a friendly manner.

She felt that Lanqi was not a bad person, and looked like a very kind and gentle boy.

"Well, she is very beautiful, 168cm tall, looks to be around 20 to 25 years old, has long grey hair and golden eyes, has an ideal healthy body shape, has never had children, speaks very little, and never smiles."

Lanqi began to describe Talia's characteristics vividly.

Last time, Lanqi failed to successfully describe Talia to the housekeeper in words in his hometown of Nanwantina. Since then, he has been thinking about how to describe her as detailed and perfect as possible through text messages.

Before Lanqi could finish his words, he suddenly felt a chill on his back for some reason.

Soon a cold hand pressed on his shoulder.

And behind him there seemed to be a pair of cold golden eyes of an absolutely superior being, emitting terrifying magical power that oppressed his whole body.

The waitress seemed to feel that the temperature in the entire restaurant had dropped by two degrees. She rubbed her shoulders and shivered with a chill.

"Are you talking about the lady behind you?"

She raised her hand slightly puzzled, pointed at Lanqi's side, and asked cautiously.

“…I think so.”

Lanqi maintained his unchanged smile and slowly turned his head.

Only his head could move; his body was unable to move at all, as if a mountain was pressing down on it.

Lanci saw Talia standing behind him.

The slender hand seemed as if it could crush his shoulders at any time, and in the other hand was holding a paper box of Ikerit sea salt flavored cheese crackers.

This kind of biscuits are easily sold out in the morning, so people in the capital have to get up early to queue up to buy them.

"Good morning, Teacher Tata."

Seeing that Talia's appetite was still as good as ever, Lanqi felt relieved.

It seems that she had a very happy time during the two days I was away.

I'm just a little worried that she'll gain weight.

After all, she is so old and has a bad temper. If she gains weight, it will be even more difficult for her to get married.

"Come with me."

Talia slowly loosened her grip, her voice expressing no emotion.

But every word carries murderous intent.

After Lanqi thanked the shop assistant, he didn't dare to say anything else. He followed Talia obediently along the creaky wooden stairs to the second floor.

Walking to the end of the corridor, Talia took out the key from her pocket and opened the door of her new residence.

"Go in."

Talia said coldly.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Lanqi naturally did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly stepped into the room.

"Tata, you have good taste..."

He looked around the little house and couldn't help but sigh.

The ceiling is made of wooden planks and diagonal beams with a glass skylight, and the angle gives the room a sense of a terrace where you can look up at the stars at night.

The walls are painted in soft cream, light orange and beige, which are warm and bright. The wooden furniture has been carefully polished by the owner of this restaurant, and the color presents a natural texture.

Talia ignored Lanci, walked past him, and sat on the only wooden armchair in the living room.

Lanqi looked at the small coffee table next to the recliner and the several newspapers and magazines on it, and could roughly imagine what Talia looked like when she was staying at home to enjoy her retirement.

As Lanci was thinking, Talia's eyes turned to him again.

Although Talia had no evidence, she now had a stronger intuition that Lanci was always thinking about something particularly damning.

Over time, out of curiosity and stimulation, the feedback from her innate magic became stronger and stronger. At least now she was sure that every time Lanqi was with her, this guy's mental activities were unusually active.

Apart from restoring her country, the only thing Talia wanted to do at the moment was to quickly improve her innate magic from lie detection to mind reading to see what Lanqi was thinking.

"Why are you looking for me?"

Talia asked with a cold look.

In fact, she had long wanted to find Lanqi to inquire about what happened in the Demonic Shadow World two days ago.

But when she thought that Lanqi might be smiling on the surface every day but thinking about something heinous in his heart, she felt furious.

So I haven’t decided when to contact him yet, so I’m just waiting for him to come to me.

I didn't expect Lanqi to come to me so soon.

It seems that this human being is more dependent on himself than he thought.

But it turned out to be true.

When I saw him, I felt bad again.
