...
[Xiao Tong! Come out quickly! Let Mayumi and Urzana have a good chat, don't stay in there!]
Rika Sugiyama's voice rang directly in Mayumi Haga's ears. She even felt her head buzzing because of the volume of the voice. At this moment, her expression was blank.
After Tono Hitomi heard the call from Sugiyama Rika and found an excuse to go to the bathroom and hurried out, Mayumi Haga looked at Urzana who was standing aside.
The latter was also startled by the sudden sound and became alert, but after meeting Mayumi Hanega's eyes, he suddenly realized.
The two of them could roughly understand each other's meaning without having to talk.
Sure enough, the senior can also hear telepathic communication.
Or maybe it was because the senior was also a guardian, so he could hear it. Megrane, who was standing next to him, had an expression of being at a loss.
Urzana whispered, "Mayumi, can we talk?"
Mayumi Haga did not refuse, but stared at Urzana, waiting for her to speak.
"Sorry, Mayumi, I actually..." Urzana had just started to say this when she noticed that Mayumi Hanega's expression seemed even more unhappy.
The latter interrupted her directly and frowned: "Senior, you have already told me that you are sorry. There is no need to say it a second time. Besides, this is very unlike you, senior."
For her, the only time Urzana did something that made her feel uncomfortable was when she avoided her.
Urzana was not conscious at other times and cannot be counted.
"...Then, what do you want me to do to forgive me?" Urzana said helplessly, "I can't carry you on my shoulders and run around now, nor can I teach you how to hunt and use various weapons, let alone make your favorite barbecue. Can you tell me what I should do to get your forgiveness?"
Mayumi Hanega lowered her head and said nothing.
Urzana felt that Mayumi Hanega was still the same as before, although she was much more taciturn.
She couldn't help but raise her hand and gently stroke Mayumi Yuga's hair. Although she couldn't scrunch the child's hair like she used to, she could still feel the touch.
This may be because they are all guardians, and the power they condense into shape comes from the previous world.
Urzana gradually recalled some memories of children being upset, and she coaxed softly, "Okay, I won't do that again in the future."
Although there was not much real feeling of being touched, Mayumi Haga could still feel the warmth of Urzana.
She didn't know why she always felt sore in her eyes and the tip of her nose turned red, which was very obvious because of her fair skin, so she didn't dare to look up.
She stared at the floor, her vision a little blurry, and said sullenly, "Then, I forgive you."
Even after that, please don't leave me alone.
Chapter 103: Dread Jack
"Jack! Jack!" Standing at the door of the weirdo apartment, Jeffrey, the orange juice weirdo who had finally re-condensed his body, was so excited that he slammed the door, making a painful sound, "Jack! I know you live here, open the door!"
Jack is an old acquaintance of the Orange Juice Man.
When Orange Juice came to Miracle City a long time ago, he made friends with this weirdo named Jack. After that, he heard that Jack seemed to be doing well in Miracle City and had many connections, so he wanted to come to him for help.
He found the mysterious ingredient of orange juice and wanted to ask the knowledgeable Jack if he knew what it was.
Because the orange liquid was mixed with sewage when he discovered it, after the Orange Juice Monster turned it into orange juice, the quality of the orange juice did not reach the level he expected.
Because of this, he did not drink it directly but sent it for testing.
In the past, when researching new products, Orange Juice Monster would not drink them rashly. After all, it would be troublesome if his body was contaminated.
The test results show that the orange juice made from unknown ingredients has just the right amount of nutrients, sugar, and other substances that determine the flavor of the orange juice.
In other words, if he could find this raw material, Orange Juice Freak would be one step closer to his ideal orange juice.
To this end, he hurriedly brought the remaining unknown raw materials over, and on the way he also bought gifts to ask for favors, making full preparations for the visit.
Before, when he visited someone’s house, someone complained, “Why do you always give away orange juice?” So this time he learned his lesson and bought a lighter.
A lighter of a certain expensive brand. At least for the bosses that Orange Juice Weirdo has worked with, it is unlikely that they would refuse such a gift.
Although he himself has no interest in cigarettes and alcohol, there are people who like these.
As for Jack, although he is a weirdo, I heard that he is the leader of the weirdos in Miracle City. I shouldn't go wrong if I choose a gift like this.
After all, Jack looked like the type who loved smoking and drinking.
With this idea in mind, the Orange Juice Man made full preparations and followed the visiting address that Jack left for him. He finally found this dilapidated apartment.
...Huh? Why does Jack's place look so shabby?
Maybe this is just a place to meet?
But it doesn’t look like it.
When the Orange Juice Monster just came over, he saw a weirdo hanging clothes in this building.
Besides, it’s dinner time now and I can smell the delicious food.
The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed. The Orange Juice Man's knocking on the door became lighter and lighter.
Did Jack give a wrong address on purpose?
Come to think of it, Jack liked to joke around back then... maybe the other party really just made up a fake address to fool him.
The Orange Juice Man thought about it and felt that it was unlikely that he would find Jack here. He hesitated for a moment and began to wonder whether he should just retreat.
And I've been knocking on the door for so long, but there seems to be no movement from inside... Wait, there is a sound.
Because the door panel was of very poor quality and relatively thin, it had almost no soundproofing ability. Just as the Orange Juice Weirdo was thinking about leaving, footsteps were heard in the house.
It was a familiar voice: "Who is it? Who's knocking at the door?"
...Huh? This voice is...
The door opened, and the person who appeared in front of the Orange Juice Monster was not the faceless man who was always dressed in a suit, but a ball-jointed man who was just as tall as his waist.
——A mischievous weirdo.
"Orange Juice? How come you are here?" The Prankster could only look up at the Orange Juice guy who was standing at the door and blocking the door frame tightly. She looked surprised, and then suspicious, "You were calling Jack just now... Are you here to find Fear?"
The name of the gentleman in the abyss is Jack.
The name comes from Jack Skeleton in the clay animation movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas", because Gentleman Abyss himself likes that character very much and is also very fond of the fear that the character represents.
Of course, even if Jack Skeleton has always lived in Halloween and enjoys scaring people, he still yearns for Christmas Eve, and the current Gentleman of the Abyss seems to have some overlap with Jack Skeleton's character experience.
After seeing the current Gentleman of the Abyss, it would be impossible for Orange Juice Freak not to be surprised.
He looked at the older man in an apron in surprise: "Huh?"
"Isn't this Jeffrey! Long time no see. Do you want to stay for dinner? Anna is the only one at my house today, and my brothers and sisters are not at home." When the Gentleman of the Abyss saw the Orange Juice Monster, his eyes almost lit up.
He was cooking in the kitchen and didn't hear any sound, and the Prankster was lying on the floor in the living room playing games. He happened to have encountered a difficult BOSS, so he delayed for a while before opening the game.
Otherwise, Gentleman Abyss would immediately rush over to open the door for the distinguished guest.
This is a weirdo who can turn water into orange juice!
If you come to my house as a guest, you don’t need to worry about drinks during this period.
Abyss Gentleman is short of money these days, and even eating is a bit difficult, let alone drinks.
In the past, I could at least pour some iced barley tea into a water bottle, but now I don’t know how many times I’ve brewed the barley tea, and it tastes no different from plain water.
And now, the Orange Juice Monster has arrived. Not only can his family afford the drink, but it is also a brand of orange juice that is relatively expensive in the beverage market!
It's like someone sends you a pillow whenever you feel sleepy.
The Abyss Gentleman warmly welcomed the Orange Juice Freak standing at the door and said, "Come on, I'm just making dinner, why don't you stay and eat with us?"
The Orange Juice Freak was stunned: "...Ah, okay, okay...Jack, you've changed a lot in the past few years."
"Hahaha, a little bit. Come, please sit down." Gentleman Abyss pulled him a cushion that looked the most intact in the house and turned the patched side downward. "Shall I pour you some tea, or would you rather drink orange juice?"
The mischievous weirdo next to him couldn't help rolling her eyes in her heart when she saw how attentive the Gentleman of the Abyss was. She was staying here temporarily because she had no money.
Isn’t it just about turning water into orange juice?
...Damn it, why haven't the subordinates sent the money yet! She also wants to upgrade to VIP treatment here at Abyss Gentleman!
Currently he has no money and dares not run around the streets alone, so he can only live here. The prankster, who is tortured by anger every day, is quite resentful.
As a competitor of Fire, how come Orange Juice can live such a comfortable life?
Neither the Orange Juice Freak nor the Abyss Gentleman noticed the dissatisfaction of the Prankster next to them.
The former placed the gift he brought on the table and said cautiously, "Well, Jack, I hope you like this gift."
"Why are you bringing a gift when you come? You're so polite." The Abyss Gentleman looked at the low-key and luxurious handbag and was reluctant to accept it at first. "It's too expensive. I can't accept it."
"I want you to do me a very important favor. The value of this gift is far less than what I can get after the success of that thing... Please accept it, otherwise I will feel guilty!" The Orange Juice Weirdo was very sincere.
Since the Orange Juice Freak said so, Gentleman of the Abyss had no choice but to accept it.
But... a lighter? He doesn't smoke.
I'll use it to light candles when there's a power outage at home.
With this in mind, Gentleman Abyss did not keep the lighter at home, considering that the high temperature might explode when he was angry and could not control his temper.
Take it with you when you get back. After all, it’s a gift from a friend.
Seeing that the Gentleman of the Abyss was willing to accept his gift, the Orange Juice Monster felt that his goal was just around the corner!
"No need for dinner. I came to you to ask for a favor..." As he said this, the Orange Juice Monster took out the jar containing the important raw materials from his body.
The liquid in the transparent glass jar is light amber in color. If you look closely, you can actually see a lot of dark-colored sediment inside, but the color of the liquid is absolutely beautiful.
"What is this?" The Abyss Gentleman took it from the Orange Juice Freak and looked at it curiously. "Is this the orange juice ingredient you selected? The orange juice made with this is particularly delicious?"
The face of the orange juice man suddenly brightened up: "It's like this! I found this liquid by chance, but unfortunately it was dumped into the sewage and can't be used directly as raw material. I want to ask, can you help me find this liquid? This should be unique to Miracle City, right?"
He spoke very quickly when he became excited, and he grabbed Gentleman Abyss's hand and moved closer.
Gentleman of the Abyss scratched his head: "I'll try my best to help you find it... but I can't guarantee that I can find it."
He had never seen such a liquid before. He opened the lid and smelled it, and found it had a pleasant fragrance.
But if it's left open for too long it will vaporize, so Gentleman Abyss quickly covered it back up.
An agreement was reached on this matter, with Gentleman of the Abyss mobilizing his connections to help Orange Juice Monster find the raw materials, and Orange Juice Monster also promised to give Gentleman of the Abyss a generous reward later.
"Actually, this lighter is enough as a reward. I can't even afford it with three months' salary..." said the Abyss Gentleman.
However, if you can earn more, you should earn more. This is a good opportunity to improve your family's conditions.
"Speaking of which, Jack, you just said you have brothers and sisters?" The Orange Juice Man was curious, "Are they the same emotional freaks as you?"
Aren't they all super powerful?
The growth potential of emotional monsters is not comparable to that of ordinary monsters like them. In this world's magic system that emphasizes the power of the mind, if emotional monsters can find their own path, they will almost be invincible.
It was also because of this that the Gentleman of the Abyss was able to make such a big fuss in Miracle City before... It can be said that almost all the weirdos knew about the existence of the Gentleman of the Abyss.
This is a celebrity among weirdos.
Now, Orange Juice Monster is very curious about whether Abyss Gentleman’s brothers and sisters will be as powerful as him.
Of course, he didn't expect to be protected by the Gentleman of the Abyss, but it would be a good choice if he could make friends with other emotional weirdos.
However, the remaining emotional weirdos don't seem to be at home.
"Sadness went to work, and Anger seemed to have found a job she was qualified for, so she also went out to apply." The Abyss Gentleman was very pleased, "As for Jealousy, he attacked the magical girl in my class."
"So busy." The Orange Juice Man sighed.
The way magical girls and monsters get along in Miracle City is really traditional, but there's nothing that can be done about it. Even he has to stir up trouble occasionally.
It's like the anxiety period that comes with every period.
Weirdos can't survive otherwise.
...
On the other side, the little bear was working.
Because it was too tiring for her eldest brother to work alone to support the whole family, Xiao Xiong secretly found a part-time job distributing flyers on the street in a stuffed bear costume. If she did a good job, the boss's wife said she would consider hiring her long-term.
Originally the school did not allow students to work part-time, but once she put on this headgear, no one knew who she was.
The body that Little Bear often chooses is the style of a stuffed bear, so even if she wears a heavy and thick stuffed bear costume, she can move freely. With some experience, Little Bear will not feel tired even if she wears this outfit and acts cute on the street all day.
It's just hotter today.
