Knight Asylum

There are two types of people in this world who are very difficult to conquer.

A person who has no bottom line, and a person whose bottom line is particularly high.

It is difficult for the former to determine whether the other party really has the so-called true love, and all behaviors are related to desire. For Greeed, they are the best objects for breeding O coins, but Metzl will only treat such people as ATM machines.

For the latter, true love definitely exists, but it is extremely difficult. This high does not mean that people with high bottom lines will not fall in love with others. This high means that people with high bottom lines find it difficult to truly fall in love with someone in a short period of time.

Love is a two-way thing, giving and receiving exist at the same time, and such a relationship is often accompanied by responsibilities. People with high bottom lines will not make promises casually, and once a decision is made, it is often for the rest of their lives.

Mazel doesn't mind taking it slow. After all, she is a Greeed and has no so-called lifespan limit. And Red, who wears the Agul Belt, has long lived longer than ordinary humans. No matter how many opponents there are, she can outlast them.

But her arrogant thoughts were broken by an anime called Monogatari recommended by a master.

There is a huge prerequisite for being able to leisurely outlast all competitors, and that is sharing life and death in both the spiritual and physical sense. Otherwise, the result is that all competitors will indeed die due to lifespan issues, but their hearts will be completely closed to love. In this case, she may not be able to survive even if she survives for hundreds of years.

What's more, as a Greeed, Mazel is actually very impatient. Especially after she got the advantage of turning back time, she became so hungry for Red's love that even the slightest progress would make her feel satisfied.

For this reason, she once again sought help from the masters before coming, and this time she added a lot of key words.

It seems like a lonely person who does not exist in this world. After all, Red, who holds the Wind Card, has probably obtained the memories of the previous timeline. For Red, the whole world has become strange.

Metzler was a little hesitant at first about being hunted by the organization he once trusted, fearing that someone would associate it with Red. But then he thought, this is [S·L], and most of the people here are hunted by their own organization.

A just, gentle person.

Afterwards, a master with the online name "The coffee I make is super delicious" added her as his friend and earnestly taught her his experience in PUA, no, in saving people who are lost at the crossroads of life.

First of all, it has to be a rainy day and an empty alley. A rainy day will amplify the loneliness and helplessness in people’s hearts, while an empty alley will make them fall into autism.

At this time, all she had to do was to bring an umbrella into this lonely world and lend a helping hand to the other person.

On this point, Metzl and the master had a difference of opinion. Metzl thought that she should also get wet in the rain and then escape into the alley, so that she and Red could support each other and live and die together.

But the master said that Metzler was too young and did not understand the heart of a just and gentle person.

At this time, Red was being hunted by the organization he believed in. How could such a righteous and gentle man involve an already unfortunate person in his own affairs?

At this time, you must act as if you have enough energy to make the other person feel that you cannot implicate the other person. The umbrella itself carries a psychological suggestion, which can make the other person feel that she is the only one in the world willing to give a place to stay for a lonely person like you.

In this way, you can gain a lot of trust points in an instant, and trust will suppress rationality and prevent the other party from thinking too much and then not realizing that something is wrong.

Finally, remember to buy a cup of hand-ground coffee by the owner of Nascita. The warmth amidst the bitterness can break through the other person's new home.

Note: If it is difficult to find an opportunity to meet this series of conditions, you can operate manually. First, make the opponent lose his memory, then change his face, pick a rainy day to throw the opponent into an alley, and wait for the opponent to wake up before pretending to pass by.

Master! A true master!

Metzl couldn't think of any other adjective to describe it except that it was too strong.

So Metzl immediately ran to Nascita to buy the boss's freshly ground coffee, and under the other party's strong recommendation, he bought coffee beans, coffee grinding tools, thermos cups, and everything he could buy.

After getting ready, Metzl immediately went to the Spica region and reached the current scene.

"Are you ok?"

Metzger held out the umbrella in her hand with a worried look on her face, shielding some of the rain for Red who was sitting on the ground.

Raindrops fell to the ground, blooming into pure water splashes on the dirty ground. Because Mazel left her umbrella, she was also wet. The raindrops fell down her face and dripped onto Rhett's hands.

Red finally reacted from his daze, stood up with the help of the wall, raised his hand to hold Metzger's hand, and pushed the umbrella back.

"I'm fine, thank you."

Metzl's appearance was beyond Red's expectations, so much so that Red had the urge to stand up and hug Metzl tightly for a moment, but fortunately he resisted the urge. Metzl didn't know him at all at this time, and if he did that, he might scare the other party.

Red supported Mobile Pegasus and prepared to leave.

"Um--you have nowhere to go?"

Metzger, who had long anticipated that Red would leave after thanking him, had also thought of a way to deal with it. She quickly followed Red, holding an umbrella in her left hand and plastic bags of various products strongly recommended by the owner of Nascita in her right hand.

"If you don't mind, you can come to my house first, dry your clothes and wait for the rain to stop."

Red paused and turned to look at Mazel, feeling extremely complicated, "Don't you know me?"

Metzger's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Red had seen through the fact that she also had memories of the previous timeline, but Metzger quickly realized that the knowledge Red was talking about should be the announcement from Selvi Tulia.

"I'm meeting you now, someone who needs shelter from the rain," Metzler stared into Reid's eyes stubbornly and handed the umbrella to Reid again.

Reid moved his mouth. Metzger didn't know him, but he knew Metzger. Although he tried his best to tell himself to stay away, the more he talked to Metzger, the more he couldn't help wanting to sit with Metzger, even if it was only for a short while.

Seeing the struggle in Red's eyes, Metzger immediately gave Red a way out.

"You can come to my house first, dry your clothes, and leave after the rain stops."

The rain was still falling. The slender Metzger looked extremely weak, but her eyes were extremely firm. If he didn't agree, Metzger might continue to be in a stalemate with him. Red had no choice but to nod and agree.

"I'll leave when the rain stops."

"OK--"

Metzl smiled slightly and handed Red the cup of freshly ground coffee specially provided by the owner of Nascita.

Stop and go?

It’s a beautiful thought.

Reid subconsciously took the coffee and took a sip.

Super hard to drink!!!

Under normal circumstances, Red would have probably been on his knees throwing up.

But the warmth in it brought him an inexplicable sense of security even though he was soaked from head to toe by the rain.

Chapter 209: Metzl: Anku!!!

In the previous timeline, because Metzl had lost her memory, Red didn't know much about Metzl's past. The only useful information he got was told to him by Mitsuo Hongo. If the information Mitsuo Hongo provided was not so detailed, he would have almost suspected that Mitsuo Hongo was fooling him.

This time, through the mouth of Metzger, who had not lost her memory, Red learned about Metzger's past.

Metzler is 23 years old and has just graduated from Qingmingyuan University. He works at Hongshang Fund as an intern.

Regarding age, Red was a little confused, because the age of Metzger given by Mitsuo Hongo seemed to be much older than him. However, when Red heard Metzger say that he was an intern, he was not so surprised.

Either in the previous timeline, Mitsuo Hongshang was attracted by Metzler's identity as a Qingmingyuan University graduate and his amnesia and deliberately modified the information, or Metzler held a very important position in the Hongshang Foundation and concealed the fact in order to avoid causing disaster.

However, when they arrived at Metzger's residence, Red's mood became subtle.

There is an apartment building on 12th Road in Jiaoxu District. Renting an apartment there is very suitable for an intern, but the apartment building where Metzl lives is very close to the villa area.

After parking the mobile Pegasus, Red helped carry the plastic bag filled with various coffee-related items in Metzl's hand and took the elevator to the tenth floor.

Metzl smiled at Reid, then walked out to door 1003 and grasped the electronic door handle.

In this final stage, Metzler was a little panicked. After all, because she rushed to Nascita's owner to buy freshly ground coffee, she did not have time to take a look at the home where she had lived for several years.

Hongshang Fund is omnipotent and can definitely meet her requirements perfectly, but... there is Anku, a troublemaker, in Hongshang Fund. Who knows whether Anku will disgust her in those links.

Oh, no, with Anku's bad personality, she would definitely be disgusted!

Metzl regretted that she shouldn't have been so arrogant and asked Anku for the O coin directly.

But now the arrow has to be shot, and Rhett is watching her from behind.

"Di-"

The electronic lock unlocked and Metzl turned the doorknob.

Good - at least Anku didn't gross her out about opening the door!

Metzl gently opened the door, and the breath of life hit her face. This was a standard single apartment of about 50 square meters, small but very exquisite. From the decoration style, it can be seen that the designer is a very meticulous person. The overall color tone tends to be sea blue.

The sofa is a space-saving lazy sofa, and on the carpet there are pillows in the shape of killer whales, octopuses, and electric eels.

In the shoe cabinet on one side of the entrance, various kinds of shoes are placed, from cute slippers to slightly sexy high heels, neatly arranged.

There is even an exquisite fish tank near the balcony.

It was so thoughtful. Metzl, who had originally regarded this place as a temporary base for the attack on Reid, even thought of living here. However, when he thought that Anku was also involved in this arrangement, he felt that it was so thoughtful that it was a bit disgusting, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Is Anku such a sweet guy?

There is no way——

Since there is no problem with the living room, then... the most likely place for the explosion to occur is probably the only room in the bachelor apartment.

Metzl bent down and gently took off her boots, put on her slippers, and helped Red get the guest slippers. "I'm going to take a shower first. You sit for a while."

After saying that, Metzger plucked up his courage and walked quickly to the bedroom door. He took a deep breath and pushed the door open. The moment he saw the whole bedroom, he froze in place as if petrified.

It’s not that the bedroom is decorated in a particularly exaggerated way. The overall style is consistent with the living room, giving it the feeling of a gentle literary girl’s boudoir, but——

but!

But there was a big problem with the bed!

You can tell at a glance that it's made of high-quality silk—red sheets! Red pillows! Red blankets!

Of course, as a Greeed, everything is gray in Mazel's eyes, so to remind her, whether it is the sheets, pillows, or blankets, there are bird patterns on them.

From eagles, to peacocks, to vultures.

All this was like a bucket of cold water poured over Metzger from beginning to end, extinguishing her passion.

Anku!!!!

An Ku, who was eating a popsicle on the top floor of the Hongshang Fund Building, raised his head as if he had sensed something and smiled triumphantly.

"What's wrong?" Because Metzger hadn't made any movement, Red asked, having turned his back to Metzger to avoid seeing anything he shouldn't see.

"Ah - no, I was just thinking that I don't seem to have any spare clothes for you," Metzger rubbed her face hard and suppressed the anger in her heart. She had to replenish the Red element immediately, otherwise she would be angry to death on this bed.

But when she turned her head, Metzler saw Red's back. According to the masters' instructions, her current wet state was very attractive to men, but looking at Red's current performance, he seemed to have no interest in her. Could it be that she had chosen the wrong option again?

No! It must be because Red has a very high moral bottom line and doesn't want to do such a thing of taking advantage of others!

"It's okay. I have a way to dry the clothes."

"Then I'm going to take a shower first."

After picking up a few sets of clothes to change, Metzger walked into the bathroom in a depressed mood and locked the door.

Of course, she didn't want to lock the door at all. She even wanted to take a shower with Red. After all, according to the masters, taking a shower together was a sign of extremely high favorability. Of course, this could also be reversed. Taking a shower together could raise the favorability to a very high level.

But she was still very cautious. She didn't want some small actions or hints that she couldn't help to make Red think that she was a very promiscuous person at heart.

In the living room, Reid let out a long breath. Metzger's act of locking the bathroom door calmed him down.

In the previous timeline, he knew that Metzler was very attractive as a woman, and sometimes some unintentional actions and expressions had a fatal temptation to men. He also had to drink a lot of cold water to calm himself down.

Just now when Metzl was changing his shoes, he was trying his best to clear his eyes and brain.

Originally, I thought that Metzl, who still had her memories, would not be so unguarded against him as she was in the previous timeline, but now it seems that this is not a question of whether to defend or not!

Red wanted to blame himself, but when he recalled how Metzger handed him an umbrella in the rain, he felt some complicated emotions in his heart.

Chapter 210: Leave when the rain stops? Okay, the rain won’t stop today

As Greeed, Mazel doesn't need to take a bath at all. Her body is made entirely of O coins, so there is no such thing as being dirty. Moreover, Greeed cannot feel the difference in temperature. Whether it is an ice bath or a boiling bath, it is the same lying in it.

But Metzl still ran the hot water seriously, took off his clothes and lay down in it.

One thing is that she has to act completely, but more importantly, Metzler wants to try to remember the feelings of things that make humans happy and relaxed, so that, even if only a little bit, she can get closer to humans and Red than before.

Mazel placed her hands on both sides of the bathtub and let out a long breath.

As expected, I can’t feel anything…

If she can't empathize with each other, can there really be true love between her and Red?

The answer is of course impossible.

Mazel had never been so dissatisfied with the gray world in which she had lived as a Greeed since she became conscious.

"Not yet... in a hurry."

Metzl sank slowly into the hot water.

In the living room, Red was standing at the window, staring in the direction of Hideyuki Kagawa's research institute. The heavy rain did not affect his gradually non-human vision. Perhaps to prevent anyone from seeing the situation inside the research institute, or perhaps because glass can be used as the entrance and exit of the mirror world, Hideyuki Kagawa closed all the windows.

But as long as he stood here, he could observe the situation in Hideyuki Kagawa's secret laboratory. He could see clearly who passed by and who visited. However, considering the existence of the mirror world, he did not have high expectations of being able to track Hideyuki Kagawa's travels.

However, Red still remembered that the Intelligent Brain Group attacked the research institute of Hideyuki Kagawa. Although there was still some time, what if? The Intelligent Brain Group could not have found this location and attacked it without reason. Something must have happened in the meantime.

If he were here, Kagawa Hideyuki and the others would not notice him. If any accident happened, he could rush to rescue him first.

and many more……
