Guild Boss's Ambition
Page 288
At this point, our classmate Taimi finally realized the murderous intent in Sister Xiaolan.
Her expression was frozen, and she raised her hands, trying to refuse politely: "Um... I..."
However, how could she possibly defeat Sister Xiaolan's intimidation?
"I'll get the clothes right away!"
There was no need for Sister Xiaolan to say much, the clever classmate Taimi had already fully understood what it meant to be a wise man who knows the current affairs. She immediately turned around and ran upstairs to get rid of Sister Xiaolan's fierce gaze, leaving me alone.
Life is like a play, so-called friends are just like this, alas...
I pretended to sigh deeply, and Sister Xiaolan took my hand with a smile. She was very clear about the consequences of this action, but she always took the trouble to retrieve her lost items from me. This time it was a long sock on her right leg. As it was midsummer, the sock was half wet with her sweat. I instinctively put it under my nose and smelled it.
Sister Xiaolan immediately snatched the socks back shyly: "Idiot! Who would like to smell stinky socks!"
I giggled foolishly and silently memorized the fragrance in my mind.
When we returned to the door of the room, Taimi had already prepared her clothes and was waiting at the door. She probably really wanted to take a shower in the bathroom in our room. This was not strange. In the past, when the public bathroom was full, Sister Gushan would occasionally come to borrow our room, but recently, she almost always went to Sister Annie.
Given Sister Xiaolan's housekeeping personality, we should take a bath together later.
That not only saves water, but also allows us to use less bath additives. Besides, it is much more fun to take a bath together than to take a bath alone. When it is just Sister Xiaolan and I, Sister Xiaolan especially likes to sing in the bathroom. She has a good voice, but her singing skills are not that good. She always sings out of tune when singing difficult songs.
However, I think most of the time she was singing off-tune on purpose to amuse me.
As expected, after I prepared the hot water and put the bathing agent in place, Xiaolan suggested bathing together as usual. However, Taimi, who usually behaves carefree, was strangely shy in front of Xiaolan. In the end, at Taimi's strong request, we took two separate baths, and Taimi lost the opportunity to enjoy the bathing agent.
Speaking of the solvent, it is a new product launched by Sister Sophie in the recycling store. As long as I use the solvent, I will not suffer from insomnia even if I drink coffee at night, and I will feel very energetic when I wake up the next morning. I remember that when it was first launched, the price of the solvent was only one silver dollar a pack, but now, its market price has risen to five silver dollars a pack.
It was Sister Xiaolan who had the foresight to buy several boxes long ago and store them.
After taking a shower, it was Taimi's turn to go into the bathroom. Just like in the past, Sister Xiaolan dried my hair first, and then it was my turn to help Sister Xiaolan. We would chat during this time. Sister Xiaolan's life is always very rich, with many interesting things happening every day. After going to school, I gradually had more topics to share with her.
"Huabi's family all have gray ears."
"Yeah, they are a family..."
"Hey! Sister Xiaolan, isn't it forbidden for brothers and sisters to get married?"
"Huh? Why are you suddenly talking about this?"
"Because Mrs. Cottontail is Mr. Cottontail's sister! Isn't that weird?"
"Uh...are you sure?"
"Mrs. Cottontail said so herself."
"Children, please don't talk nonsense."
"oh."

40. Sincerity (Little Blue)
(Ulu-Lannon)
Taimi in the room seemed very uneasy, and kept glancing in my direction, probably because she thought I was mad about the school trip. But the person who really made me upset was that idiot named Sora, or maybe out of maternal instinct to protect her young child, she did not report the information about the dragon eggs to me truthfully.
I thought Sora's personality would improve after she started working with Mr. Midoriya, but in the end, it's difficult to change a person's nature. More than two months have passed, and this winged girl is still as conceited as ever. In fact, if I use my brain and think about it, there's no way such a big thing as the dragon egg can be hidden from me forever, right?
It took about a cup of tea for Taimi to tell me most of the truth about the dragon egg incident.
After Huabi took the dragon eggs, Lian'er, Taimi and the others did not continue to participate. According to Taimi's retelling of Huabi's words, he and Sora must have encountered an unmanageable danger at that time. In the end, they were saved because Miss Doris happened to come to the rescue and took them back to the camp.
What concerns me more is that the rabbit boy seems to be involved with the military because of the dragon egg incident.
To be honest, I don't really approve of Lian'er associating with these dangerous friends.
However, when I recalled that there were originally a group of monsters and demons in this stone house, the preconceived discrimination immediately disappeared. Furthermore, knowing a few military forces would be of some help to us living in Mopolis City. At the very least, it would help us deal with the annoying wrath of nature.
"Well, since Taimi is so honest, I won't bother with you about my impulsiveness this time."
After carefully asking for all the information I wanted to know, I gave the suffering girl a warm smile and filled her teacup half full. After receiving my forgiveness, the girl let out a long breath, while Lian'er, who was wiping her wet hair, did not seem afraid from beginning to end. The little girl had already learned how to observe my expression.
After slowly taking a sip of the soothing hot tea, Taimi pinched her flaxen hair and said gratefully, "Thank you, Lian'er, it's done now. Let the rest dry naturally. By the way, Miss Lannong, didn't you say just now that you had something to give me? Could it be the gift for the bet? In fact, even if you don't give it to me -"
I have always thought that Taimi is a smart kid, and she is always polite in her dealings with others. In front of her polite words, I can just act generous: "If you lose a bet, you lose it. There is no reason not to pay the gambling debt. And didn't I say it before? Giving flowers to others will leave a sweet fragrance on your fingers. Wait a minute!"
He insisted on giving me a gift, so I lowered my head and found the thing in the prop column.
I still remember that I got a batch of exotic decorations from my classmate Taimi. Later, I put them all into the synthesis furnace and fused them repeatedly. In addition to increasing my alchemy experience points, I finally synthesized a peculiar prop. Based on the idea of returning the property to its original owner and being sincere, I decided to give the final result as a gift to Taimi.
"Excuse me?"
"Don't worry, this is definitely not a suspicious item that can summon ancient demons."
Looking at the object I handed over, Taimi showed the expression of a puppy when he first saw the cleaning robot.
The prop was a white cylinder with a radius of three kilometers and a total length of twenty kilometers. When I found that I had successfully synthesized this thing, I was so happy. But after I used the identification technique to examine it carefully, my enthusiasm for it immediately cooled down and I almost threw it into the trash can.
But overall, it's still a pretty good gadget.
"This is a laser sword! Try the gray button on it."
"Oh! Okay! Grey button...grey button...grey button"
Like an eighty-year-old lady, Taimi, who took the hilt of the sword, took almost a full minute to find the legendary button, and then pressed it hard. Then, a strong red light immediately came out from the root of the cylinder, then penetrated into Taimi's body at the speed of light, and then came out from the other side.
First Blood.
"Wow wow wow! What happened! Ahh ...
Taimi threw the out-of-control laser sword into the air on the spot.
Lian'er at the back rolled over and made a beautiful movement of displacement, successfully catching the high-thrown laser sword.
The little girl had seen this laser sword a long time ago, and as soon as she took it in her hand, she started to dance with it skillfully.
The prank was successful, and I happily explained, "Although it's called a beam sword, it's basically just a toy. The laser on it can't cause any physical damage. It can only have an effect on creatures with void attributes. However, even if I searched the entire public library, I couldn't find any information about void attributes. It should be an attribute that does not belong to today's civilization."
Taimi asked dumbly, "What's the use of a sword that can't cut people?"
I thought about it and turned off the lights in the room.
As a result, the laser sword immediately became the only light source in the room.
It lasted for about ten seconds, and then the whole room fell into darkness.
I slowly explained in the darkness: "Since the energy that drives this laser sword is light, it is absolutely impossible to use it as a lighting fixture. In addition, the light beam on this laser sword cannot physically come into contact with other weapons, so we cannot use it as a damage reduction device during swordplay practice."
Hearing this, Taimi asked creatively, "What would happen if two laser swords collided with each other?"
I turned on the light in the room, smiled brightly and said, "I don't want to make another prop like this again."
Taimi was immediately speechless: "Is it really okay to say something so honest?"
After the lights were restored, the laser sword beams became brighter again. Lian'er, holding the sword, immediately performed a series of moves on the bed. Those should be the sword techniques that Meng'er taught her privately. Not only did they look very good, but even the result of the appraisal was written as "Knight Swordsmanship (Level 10)" - No! It has just been upgraded to Level 11!
"Little Taimi, do you want to hear the truth?" I suddenly said in a deep voice.
"Huh? So sudden? What happened?" Taimi was a little scared by me.
"Actually—"
"actually?"
"Actually--"
"Actually?"
"Actually! This laser sword was made using the totem you sold me."
"This is totally unscientific! How can wood turn into iron?"
I said confidently, "That involves the ultimate secret of alchemy."
Taimi was smart and unconvinced: "This is totally inconsistent with the basics of alchemy."
I seized the opportunity and said, "Useless waste is exchanged for useless garbage. Isn't this an equal exchange?"
Taimi's eyes widened and she knelt down dejectedly: "No...I can't refute it..."
Seeing Taimi's completely relaxed appearance, I smiled inwardly at my own excellent acting skills, and then changed the subject: "By the way, Taimi, where are you from? Why are you like me, staying in Mopolis by yourself? Isn't it good to live somewhere else in the League of Light?"
The reason I asked this is because my identification skills found something strange on Taimi.
Taimi-Mouni
Race: human
Character level: Lv10 Human/LV10 Fighter
Skills: My style of kicking
Special Tianni: Extra strong danger perception, advanced luck enhancement, [Unknown (unable to identify)]
Putting aside the unidentifiable talent, just judging from the first two talents, Taimi's personal survival ability as a thirteen-year-old girl is a bit too strong. Such strong skills should never appear on a girl who is only level ten. If I have to make an analogy, Taimi gives me the feeling of an SSR character in those crappy mobile games.
Hearing my question, Taimi pondered for a moment and smiled reluctantly: "Where am I from? In fact, I don't really remember. But, Miss Lannon, you just asked a good question. Why have I never thought of leaving Mopolis in all these years? It's obviously dangerous here... and there are many wars..."
Come to think of it, a normal thirteen-year-old girl would not have the courage to leave her hometown.
I then asked, "Do you know your parents?"
Taimi replied, "They should all still be alive."
I glanced at Lian'er beside her and asked, "Do you want to find them and meet them again?"
Lian Er just listened quietly without showing any obvious reaction, while Tai Mi responded, "Not at all. I'm used to living alone, and if there were two more parents, I would be at a loss. Of course, if they came to me themselves, I would still want to have a good chat with them."
In the city of Mopolis, there are countless places where Tears of the Lone Star play is being performed.
However, as a lost daughter, most people would probably be like Cosette, who on the one hand wants to find her lost mother, but on the other hand is attached to her current daily life. After all, not every mother is as miserable as Fu Anting, and not every lost relationship can be restored through searching.
But whenever I think of "Fu Anting", I can't help but feel sad and guilty.
Yes.
I should have tried to help Cosette find her biological mother like Jean Valjean did. Even if I couldn't help with all my strength, I couldn't just do nothing. However, I didn't have such an idea in my heart. I was not Jean Valjean. I was afraid that Cosette would suddenly meet Fu Anting. I resisted losing Cosette and regarded Cosette as a part of myself.
Looking at Taimi, the Cosette who didn't need Shang Wanqiang, I shifted my gaze to the distance outside the window and said indifferently: "No wonder you don't want to take the initiative to find them. After all, as a parent, they can't even take care of their own children. That is a tragic story of sad people. They should be ashamed of their incompetence."
Before the time travel, whenever I said something against my will, I would always feel a chill on my forehead.
But tonight my forehead feels hot, so cold that it feels like I'm about to burn myself.

41. Routine (Taiwanese)
(Taimi-Moni)
The photos of ancient people in the history textbooks are solemn in black and white. The appearance of Charles, the ancient King of Lorraine, is the most typical heroic man. I was bored and drew a fashionable hat for the great him with charcoal. The downturned corners of his mouth seemed to indicate that he was very dissatisfied with my taste. I tied a bow for him with a sly smile. It looked very nice and beautiful, haha!
Dang Dang Dang.
I finally finished the history class after doodling in my textbook. After class, I immediately patted the back of Lian'er's chair and asked her for my history class notes to copy. Since the school moved a thing called a blackboard back last week, the amount of notes we students need to copy has doubled, and the children in the entire teaching building are complaining.
Fortunately, the teacher of the last history class was an old professor who was not used to new things, so Lian'er didn't take many notes. It only took me five minutes to finish organizing my notes and then I stood up.
"Hmm? This feels weird."
I looked behind me irritably and saw that the hem of my skirt was firmly stuck to the chair.
The area of adhesive on the chair is not large, only the size of four coins, so it is difficult to detect with the naked eye. Normally, I can always dodge this kind of trick by intuition, but I didn't expect to fall for it today.
I frowned in confusion, sat down stiffly, and glanced across the classroom, then heard a burst of girls' giggles.
"It's been a long time since we last met—"
I looked past Lian'er and looked at the bastard Huabi with displeasure. It was just a break, but this stupid rabbit was already surrounded by a large number of girls. The reason was that he brought the young dragon Locke to school! His invisible pretentious behavior immediately alarmed our entire school. In just half a morning, he was rumored to be a candidate for the Dragon Knight. The boys all competed to call him their brother, and the girls were even more -
"Chickens! All chickens!"
Looking at this ironic scene, I seemed to have found the source of hatred. At the age of twelve or thirteen, the emotional intelligence of girls is really damn childish and sensitive. Even if they succeed in scaring me out, what can they establish between them and Huabi? Not to mention love, that stupid rabbit usually doesn't even care about friendship.
"What should I do? I can't carry a chair around with me, right?"
My annoyed voice was heard ahead, and Lian'er cast a questioning look at me.
