Lina put down the cake and floated over: "Faga, are you washing the dishes?"
However, a small green head with pigtails peeked out from the kitchen, looking around in confusion. When Ke Lin saw that it was Lina, her eyes lit up.
Then, by slightly tilting his head, Lykan's figure came into view.
Colleen could no longer contain herself. She immediately plopped down in her slippers and hugged Lina tightly around the waist, nuzzling against her like a kitten, her eyes gleaming slightly. "Miss Lina, Mr. Lykan, welcome home..."
"Okay, Kelin, we're back."
Lina gently stroked little Colleen's head, her eyes smiling.
After a while, Lina seemed to remember something, looked around, and asked in confusion, "Kolin, where are Fagga and Ellen?"
"them?"
Kelin kept her head down, her eyes darting around.
After a long while, she finally mustered up her courage, clenched her two little fists and held them up in front of her chest, and said with utmost seriousness, "They went to school!"
"real?"
"real..."
"Then I'll call the homeroom teacher to confirm."
...
"Hello, who is this... Oh, it's Lina! You didn't dial the wrong number, this is Ellen's cell phone. She and Fagar are busy right now, oh dear, I'm so sorry, it's during school time and I still assigned them a task... Ah, it's alright, it's more like we're the ones who troubled them."
Beep~ Beep~
Ling hung up the phone, tossed it back to Ellen, glanced at Fagga and Ellen, and pouted, saying:
“I said, it’s too much for you two to skip school. Lina called the school and they said you were on leave. Now they’re calling me.”
"Going to school is something we can do whenever we feel like it. Besides, if we go to school, it will be a few days later before we can settle the commission fee with you."
Fagga, munching on his sandwich, only looked up from the movie when someone called him. He turned to look at Ling, sizing her up.
"By the way, the shop manager doesn't seem that old, so why did he drop out of school?"
"Because my original school was destroyed, my student status was gone, and my guardian was gone, so naturally no one forced us to go to school."
Ling casually spouted nonsense to fool him.
Although... in a sense it's not entirely nonsense.
"Oh, that shopkeeper is really amazing. He's a self-taught legendary rope craftsman."
After finishing his sandwich, Fagar clapped his hands, put the shark tail off his leg, stood up, and said:
"Speaking of which, Nicole and the others won't be here for a while, right? Perhaps I should go out and buy a few cups of coffee first. I know Ellen likes malt espresso... What do you like, manager?"
Thump!
Just then, the door of the video store suddenly opened, and a tuft of pink hair immediately squeezed in, panting and sweating profusely, clearly having run over at top speed.
But...why not drive?
But that wasn't the point anymore. Nicole immediately rushed into the video store, and her eyes lit up when she saw Fagga:
"I like the extra-stretched pepper nati, Anbi likes the regular pepper nati, the cat likes the wheatgrass nati, and Billy... he likes motor oil! Thank you, boss! You're generous, boss, and may you stay healthy!"
Fagga, Ellen, and Rin: "Uh..."
Beside it, the black and white doll scratched its fluffy head and asked in confusion, "It's fine if you like pepper tarts, but why do you like it with extra ingredients? Doesn't it taste too strong?"
"What do you know?"
Nicole put her hands on her hips, closed her eyes, and said smugly, "More ingredients mean more, and more is better!"
The next second, Nicole immediately realized what was happening, jumped to the side, her hair standing on end, and her voice suddenly rose: "Eh~ what is this?"
...
