Guild Boss's Ambition

It feels like the air goes straight through the entrance into the flute, and then rushes out from the back of the flute.

Is this the latest prank trick developed by Heloise? This time it's quite advanced.

Facing my questioning look, Sister Heloise laughed happily. Her cheeks were very pretty at this time, a little pink after being drunk, which made her smile even prettier: "Hey, hey, hey, I don't usually play tricks on you, do I? Why do you think I'm lying to you? The sound of this flute cannot be heard by human ears."

Can't human ears hear?

As if to confirm what Sister Heloise said was true, a brown and white figure and a pitch-black figure quickly appeared out of the corner of my eye.

Among them, the one with brown and white as the main colors is the stitched dog Little Spot, while the one with a completely black body is Brother Sauna's cat Augustus. Except for the old cat grandfather who is on duty and Sister Lannong, Augustus is basically not friendly at all. But now he actually took the initiative to appear in front of the crowd, which is a strong proof that Sister Heloise's shepherd's flute does have the function of tracking animals!

"Look! Aren't the little spots here already? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Ah wu..."

Seeing is believing, what else can I say? I could only hug Sister Heloise with apology. In this hug, her strong smell of alcohol was all over my clothes, but in her cheerful laughter and doting touch, I could smell a good smell that was more intoxicating than the aroma of alcohol, which made me reluctant to leave and lost in thought.

"Hehe, you are such a bad boy who loves to act like a spoiled brat! Okay, I'll give you this shepherd's flute──"

"Thank you. 』

After thanking Heloise, I found Little Spot and turned around to leave with my shepherd's flute in my arms.

I had just taken half a step when the back of my collar was grabbed tightly again.

"You want to leave like this? You little thief—"

I looked back and saw Heloise looking at me with great interest.

Maybe he accidentally stole something back from the hug just now?

I turned everything inside my shirt and pants over and over again, and put them all on the table one by one, but I didn't know how I did it. I even searched inside my panties, but I still couldn't find the stolen item that didn't belong to me. Could it be that my theft aura has undergone a new mutation?

After the Wrath of Nature ended, the things I stole no longer appeared only in my hands, but occasionally in the pockets of my clothes and other parts of my body. The worst time was when I accidentally stole ViVi's lightning prank slime from behind, leaving my buttocks feeling strange, numb and without any sense of touch for most of the afternoon.

"Where are you? Where are you? Come out quickly—"

"Oh, can't you find it? It's very important. Without it, I can't see clearly when I sort the gems."

Seeing how anxious and miserable I was, Sister Heloise showed a troubled expression.

Hey──

Arrange gems? Anything related to gems should be very valuable, right? With the little pocket money that Sister Xiaolan allocates to me every month, I definitely can't afford to pay for such valuables, right? Ahhh! I must find the lost items quickly! Wow, it always falls on me, where did it go this time?

Is it possible...

Body... inside the body?

I looked down at my belly, and a deep chill rose in my heart.

I never thought that something like that would happen, but theoretically it cannot be completely ruled out.

Suddenly, my breathing became heavy with fear.

"Cuckoo..."

But at this terrible moment, Sister Heloise laughed like a silver bell. Amidst the confusing laughter, she reached out to my forehead, took off a pair of silver glasses from my forehead, and kept laughing: "Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore, I'm almost dying of laughter, you stupid kid, you're really a funny guy!"

“What?!”

"You should have told me long ago that the lost item was right above my head! And why do I feel nothing when I put on these glasses?"

I cursed indignantly, and the anger in my chest made my mouth swell up like a chicken and fish. But generally speaking, getting the lost items back is better than anything else. Within a few seconds, I breathed a sigh of relief and became happy again. However, in order to show my dignity and status, I still tried to maintain an attitude of dissatisfaction on the surface.

Unfortunately, the mean-spirited Heloise is a complete jerk who can’t soothe a child. She just left me there unhappy, picked up one of my many toys from the table, and started a new topic: “Oh, I didn’t expect you to have this, Lian’er. It’s really a nostalgic toy—”

The toys that Sister Heloise was talking about were nothing but the three Force Balls given by Sister Doris.

Ever since that troublesome war, Sister Doris, who claimed to be able to predict the future, has not visited our stone house for a long time. Even if I asked Sister Annie and the others, most of them just guessed that Sister Snake probably had her own things to do. From the conversation, I vaguely felt that no one seemed to want to talk about her...

I heard from Sister Xiaolan that it seemed that Sister Doris's mother had some conflicts with everyone, which indirectly affected everyone's impression of Sister Doris. But as the saying goes, everyone has to take responsibility for their own actions. If Aunt Covina did something wrong, then Aunt Covina should bear the responsibility alone. Isn't it dragging innocent people into the water by taking out her anger on Sister Doris?

However, Sister Xiaolan said that things were not as simple as I thought.

Anyway, their adult world is complicated, and it is difficult for me to understand it even if I want to.

After some inspection, Sister Heloise politely asked, "Can I try out your weapon?"

arms?

Although I didn't think of the Force Ball as a weapon, I simply nodded in agreement without explaining.

After obtaining my permission, Sister Heloise began to operate the Force Ball. Her skills with the Force Ball were different from my usual playing house. Although there was only a space as big as a table, she was still able to play with them beautifully.

While showing off various fancy moves, she explained: "The Force Ball is one of the best entry-level props for training energy manipulation. If you can do these fancy moves like me, then you can basically achieve the energy control ability of a gold-level adventurer. Is that right? If you can do these fancy moves, I will make you better toys in the future."

When I heard there were new toys, I nodded without thinking.

As for those theories about energy control, I'm sorry, I'm not particularly interested.

But judging from the initial rhythm, it might not be easy for me to get a new toy from Heloise. She required a total of eighteen fancy maneuvers, and only one of them, called Dragon Fighting in the Wild, was something I could use naturally and smoothly, and this successfully earned Sister Heloise's surprised exclamation.

"Great, I just read it once and I know the function of Yin and Yang. It seems that I'd better prepare the right toys for you in advance. By the way, Lian'er, who is your enlightenment teacher? Is it Lord Ehard or Miss Raftan? Please don't tell me it's Miss Bai Ye, otherwise even if you can do the action just now, I won't make the toys for you."

When it comes to Lian'er's first teacher, there is only that one person.

I dipped my finger in beer and wrote her name on the table: "Ms. Isabella."

Heloise's expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry suddenly melted away. "I'm obviously not asking about your academic enlightenment teacher, am I? I'm asking about your martial arts teacher. Is there anyone who has ever taught you how to fight?"

Have!

I shuddered, dipped my finger in the wine, and wrote under the teacher's name: "Big idiot Sister Meng'er."

"I really don't know what expression Lord Ehard would have when he saw this—"

Sister Heloise rubbed my head vigorously and said with a smile, "Well, now that you have the flute and I have performed the fancy moves for you, you can spend the rest of your time with your pets. By the way, if you also take Augustus out for a walk, I think Little Spot will be very happy."

After Sister Heloise said that, I remembered the two furry little kids who were standing quietly by the side waiting.

Following Sister Heloise's suggestion, I tried to reach out and hug Augustus. Unfortunately, the black cat in the Sauna family was a king in character, and when a servant like me wanted to hug one, it would first give me a look of contempt, then gracefully take a cat step, high above me, and slowly walk towards the window.

hum!

Do you think I would let you go as easily as others?

You are so naive, Augustus!

I pounced forward swiftly, and caught Augustus off guard. But don't think you can easily catch this arrogant black cat. Almost at the same time, several consecutive cat punches came mercilessly to my face. However, how could I, an experienced person, be hit so easily by it?

I swung this black boxing cat into the air like Uncle Stallone throwing dough. By the time I caught it again, it was already firmly pinned in my arms, leaving only a tiny bit of space for movement. After realizing that he had been captured alive, Augustus wisely did not struggle. He just stayed on my chest, meowing and accusing me of my crimes.

After dealing with Augustus, Xiaoban on the other side had already run to the door of the tavern area alone, and was waiting for me with his star-like expectant eyes - does he really like taking walks so much?

Armed with newspapers for picking up gold and drinking water, I went out to breathe fresh air in a relaxed and happy mood.

"Eh? Wait! I didn't even want to take a walk at first!"

"And I smell like cat fur and alcohol. I'm sure Sister Xiaolan will nag me again later..."

"Well, never mind. My clothes are already dirty even if they're not. Let's go out and have fun first, and then come back to apologize later, okay?"

……

……

63. Stupid Meng'er (Lian'er)

(Lian Er)

It's a sunny day today, and the sky is filled with the fragrance of flowers and trees. It should be a good day to go out for a trip.

But at this time, I was in President Ehard's study. Usually, nothing good would happen when I stayed in the president's study. If Sister Xiaolan was not free, she would throw me here to do my homework under the supervision of Sister Menger. In fact, I had already finished my homework today, but the reason why I was still not free was because of the misfortune of going out for a walk last night.

Writing "I will never swim in a skirt again" a thousand times as punishment──

Last night, I was having so much fun that I forgot myself and jumped into the pond in the park to swim.

As a result, I was soaked to the skin and naturally got scolded by Sister Xiaolan, not to mention this inhumane punishment.

By the time I wrote it for the 200th time, I was already feeling extremely bored.

I looked at Meng'er, the idiot who also had a dull look on her face, and lazily passed her a small note.

"Does writing such sentences over and over again really have any positive educational significance?"

She took the note, read it quickly, and then wrote back.

"If you don't want to waste your life meaninglessly, don't do stupid things."

After reading her reply, I still felt dissatisfied, so I wrote back to refute her.

"There are other more meaningful ways to punish you..."

This time, Sister Menger did not write a reply, but answered directly: "Whether something is meaningful or not is up to you to decide. If the person who was punished to write today was Berlane, she would definitely think it was nothing and just treat it as a little extra calligraphy training. The reason why punishment can be deterrent is that it can bring meaningless pain."

Oh!

It turns out that it can also be used as a calligraphy training──

After Sister Meng'er said this, I immediately perked up! In my mind, Sister Berlane has always been an elder worthy of respect. Whenever I see her writing those ordinary sentences with elegant and beautiful writing style, I can't help but feel envious and imagine that when I grow up, I can also be like her, with the style of a literary girl.

Even if I can't write as well as Sister Blannie right away, as long as I work harder, my handwriting will improve and become more beautiful, right? Yes, by then, not only Sister Xiaolan, but also Teacher Isabella will praise me, right? Very good, very good, my Lian'er has once again successfully found a new meaning in punishment!

As if seeing through my thoughts, Stupid Meng'er suddenly added: "By the way, although it's a good thing to fall in love with calligraphy, you must remember not to jump into the pond again, otherwise the punishment waiting for you next time will not be just simple copying. You must not have noticed it yourself? Xiaolan's punishments on you have become more and more severe recently!"

"Nonsense! Lian'er, I am obviously a very good and obedient person!" I wrote in rebuttal.

"You call a little kid like you obedient?"

Idiot Meng'er looked down at me and said, "Isabella keeps you after school more than three times a week on average, and you always come home dirty. I told you to ignore those weird uncles, but you always respond. If you weren't our child, you would have been kidnapped... and eaten by the city monsters!"

Sister Meng'er accidentally said the word "拐". I knew what noun she was going to say, but I have grown up strong enough not to be hurt by such a bad past. This year has brought so many changes to my life. The warmth emitted by this stone house is enough to ignite the light and dispel the cold darkness.

I pretended to be calm, just smiled and wrote a rebuttal: "It's all because you are overly sensitive, Xiao Xixi and the others just look weird, they are not suspicious people who will hurt others."

"Well, even though we have been living in peace, if something strange happens to you, you must remember to ask for help. No matter what, we will stand by your side. So, Lian'er, who is trusted by us, must remember to be honest and never lie about important things. Do you understand?"

Listening to the old-fashioned argument of the president, I couldn't help but roll my eyes like Xiao Lan, and use sign language that she might not understand to mock her words and actions: "Adults who love to lie have no right to talk about honesty."

"What do you mean by a lying adult? Do I lie a lot? Probably not!"

"Oh, so I can understand it!"

"Why can't I understand it? It's just a little bit of sign language. I can understand it if I try hard."

"Obviously a fool."

"By the way, the first word that Xiaolan taught me was 'idiot'."

"As expected, in my sister's eyes, you are just an idiot."

"You keep calling me stupid, stupid, has my Lian'er finally learned to be a bad person?"

"You taught me all this."

"Hey, what does this gesture of yours mean? I don't understand it."

"Look! The adult who loves to lie has appeared!"

Unlike when we first met, since I started doing morning exercises with Sister Meng'er, the gap between her and I has become smaller. She is a very cheerful person, completely different from Sister Xiaolan. She doesn't act like an elder at all. She doesn't preach to me much, but is more like a friend who can joke with me.

If Sister Meng'er didn't exist in the president's office, I think I would have been bored to death and thrown a tantrum.

After playing around with Sister Meng'er for a while, I went back to the punishment of copying. But it didn't take long before I once again realized the gap between reality and ideal. At first, the hundred times of practice seemed quite interesting, but after more than a hundred times, I gradually lost my initial momentum and became lazy and distracted again.

I wasn't the only one who was distracted. Sister Meng'er on the other side was also staring blankly at the scenery outside the window.

I called her attention back and asked in sign language: "What's wrong?"

Noticing my concern, she smiled comfortingly and patted my head: "I'm sorry to make you worry, Lian'er. Actually, I have a problem that is not very serious but very important. I have thought about it for a long time, but I still have no idea. Lian'er, you are always smart, maybe you can give me some advice?"

I thought about it seriously and shook my head decisively, "No, ask Sister Bai Ye if you have any difficult questions."

Sister Meng'er laughed and explained in a gentle voice, "I don't think there is an absolutely correct answer to that question. Besides, compared to Bai Ye, your answers are always more interesting."

"I see. 』

As I nodded, Sister Menger slowly expressed her confusion: "For example... for example, there is an out-of-control carriage on a road. If you let the carriage continue to rush forward, it is very likely to hit one or more pedestrians. But at the same time, as a coachman, you have a second choice──"

"Ah? (What choice?)"

Meng Er raised his finger and said seriously, "At this time, you can turn the carriage to the next fork in the road. There are fewer pedestrians at that intersection, but the disadvantage is that your most cherished relatives and friends are there, such as your sister Xiaolan. So, do you want the carriage to hit Sister Xiaolan, or let it hit other passers-by?"

I wrote back affirmatively: "I will stop the carriage."
