The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

Black Snake has always loved trying new things.

'……trouble. '

And Ceria couldn't just stand there.

In order to avoid wasting time pointlessly, she couldn't help but look at the clothing area to see if there were any clothes she liked.

Don't forget that Ceria always wears Rhine Life's protective clothing on weekdays, but that's just because she spends most of her time at work.

In private, she also reads fashion magazines, and is not neglectful of dressing up.

However, too few people know that side of her.

Unfortunately, Black Snake, who always likes to pry into other people's privacy, knew about this.

wrong!

This is called caring about the mental health of colleagues.

……

Just when Seria was getting a little impatient with waiting, she knocked on the door of the fitting room under the strange look of the waiter.

"...Come out quickly, the time for the banquet is coming soon."

"Okay~"

Mobius' disappointed voice came from the fitting room.

When Mobius walked out of the fitting room, he changed back into his white coat.

"...After much thought, this dress suits me."

"..."

Ceria clenched her fists, but ultimately did not make a move.

After all, the other party is an immortal who knows no depth. No matter how out of the ordinary he behaves, he cannot conceal the other party's identity.

'Don't be angry, don't be angry... Ceria, you can't let your emotions affect your judgment. '

Just as Ceria took a deep breath and calmed down her inner emotions, Mobius, who was carrying large and small bags, came to Ceria who was standing at the door.

"worn out."

Mobius wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at the sky.

It was already night, and the cold winter wind in Colombia made Mobius shiver.

Snakes are afraid of the cold.

The reason why he didn't feel anything when he came out earlier was because it was still daytime, and the light from the warm sun made Mobius feel very comfortable... and he didn't expect that he would accidentally indulge in shopping so late.

Black Snake likes to match clothes...although most of the time he is self-absorbed.

"Ceria, wait a minute, I'll buy another coat..."

"No need, we're almost late."

Ceria glanced at the watch on her wrist, then looked helplessly at Mobius, who was already tired and out of breath.

Fidia's physical fitness is difficult to compare with Vaifan.

'His body is too weak... Could it be that his physical fitness is not high? '

After all, no one stipulates that being an immortal must have a powerful body.

As long as they live long enough, anyone can claim to be an immortal.

Ceria took off her fur coat, put it on Mobius, and then took all the shopping bags from Mobius.

"Hurry up, the banquet is about to start... Please pay attention to the time next time."

"Uh... why don't you take a taxi?"

"...Sigh. At this time, it's the driver's shift time. How can you confirm that you can get a taxi? Let's go."

"……Fine."

'But, my [Snake Scale] driver doesn't need to rest. '

'...'

'This fur coat is quite warm. '

Black Snake doesn't like to use other people's things... but it's not that morbid.

But He still felt very awkward and uncomfortable.

It's not a physical cold, but a psychological, more indescribable feeling.

But this feeling is just a flash in the pan.

'……never mind. '

Black Snake gave up recalling that feeling.

He wanted to continue playing pranks on Ceria.

……

Mobius and Ceria arrived at the narrow apartment in the headquarters.

At least, very narrowly for Moebius.

He saw Ceria, who was carrying a large bag and wearing only a thin shirt, and Mobius, who was empty-handed and wearing a fur coat.

Everyone present looked at him with more or less contempt.

After all, everyone who is a veteran of Rhine Life is familiar with Mobius's way of doing things.

But there was nothing they could do.

After all, Ceria is responsible for monitoring Mobius, so it is normal for Mobius to protest.

It would be better to say that Mobius only harassed Ceria through pranks, which is already a better result.

……

"Ceria, in order to thank you, I specially gave you a gift~"

"What is it?"

Everyone in Rhine Life cast their eyes curiously on the pair of 'enemies'.

This is really strange.

But for Seria, this is not unusual.

She held her forehead and said in a helpless tone:

"Mobius, this is a banquet... I don't want to make the atmosphere too tense."

After all, Seria has learned from past mistakes.

Chili-flavored boiled water, an unknown can with little power but a huge smell, a pen that bursts with ink halfway through writing...

Mobius's previous pranks made Ceria feel that she had a really good temper.

At least, she never laid a hand on this annoying guy.

"...Okay~"

Mobius looked disappointed, and his hands holding the shopping bags dropped weakly.

"Oh~ I still can't blend in with you~"

He sighed heavily.

Then he leaned against the window and looked at the lights of thousands of houses outside with a sad expression.

The originally lively atmosphere of the banquet froze for a moment.

Ceria looked at Mobius's lonely back and felt guilty for a moment.

'……Did I do something wrong?Maybe Mobius really wants to give me something this time? '

After all, Mobius' previous prank had already caused Ceria to have a stress reaction.

She hesitated for a moment, then picked up the shopping bag that fell on the ground.

And Mobius changed his face instantly.

He ran to Seria diligently and unpacked the shopping bag for her.

It was a very handsome lady's suit, with complex patterns on it, which looked elegant but not frivolous; the material used was very high-end, and it felt very comfortable to the touch.

"How about it, Ceria~ This is my gift to you~"

Mobius did not pretend to be affectionate this time, but showed a serious expression.

Ceria felt a little uncomfortable.

"I am actually a nostalgic and emotional person."

"Of course...what I say now may seem strange to everyone here."

"After all, no matter how you say 'nostalgia', it will never have anything to do with you."

"You are still very young...well, not including Director Parvis."

"But even if we don't count the fact that we may fall apart for various reasons along the way...how long can I still get along with you?"

"One year? Ten years? A hundred years?"

"This kind of time span may be unimaginable to you, but for an immortal like me, it is just a small wave in life."

"Maybe after a while, you will all fade from my memory, just like many short-lived species that I have forgotten, becoming vague shadows."

"But I at least hope that our friendship will be deeper and our memories will be happier... Let me forget your time and postpone it a little longer."

"Haha... maybe studying the difference between long-lived ones and short-lived ones is also a good topic."

Mobius looked out the window again.

At this time, he seemed so out of place.

"...Dr. Mobius, it is still too early to discuss this kind of issue now."

Parvis pushed up his glasses and said helplessly.

"That's it, Mobius, why did you suddenly bring up such an inappropriate topic at the banquet?"

Even Mulseth, who had been huddled in a corner since Mobius arrived, spoke out to condemn Mobius' behavior that ruined the atmosphere.

"Dr. Mobius, with the advancement of technology in the future, our human lifespan will definitely become longer and longer... Maybe by then we will all be qualified to call ourselves [Immortals]?"

Ferdinand Clooney, director of the energy department, couldn't help but argue.

"..."

Governor Christen did not say anything.

She was still leaning against another window, but her eyes moved away from the starry sky, staring at the immortal who eluded her.

"...Okay, okay, I'll just accept it."

Ceria planned to store this suit well.

But Mobius couldn't let her have her way.

His prank has not yet been carried out.

'...'

'Isn't it good for me to do this? '

Black Snake pondered, but soon, his fun-loving nature kicked away his remaining conscience.

Of course the black snake will be sad for the Spring and Autumn Period...

But only a little sad.

……

"Seraya, hurry up and try to see if it fits... I was in a hurry just now and forgot to ask for your model number. If it doesn't work, I can refund you."

'Jie Jie Jie, Seria, how does it feel to die?How does it feel to die in front of everyone at Rhine Life! '
