Thanks for the invitation. I am a parasite in Terra.

In his arms, he was holding a pile of textbooks (also bought from the second-hand market, mostly literature homework and tutorial books).

The whole set costs less than 400 Longmen coins.

Well, but the final effect is that anyone who looks at her looks like a country girl who ran out of a corner.

Great! That's it!

As expected of me! My camouflage technique is perfect! And it saves money!

This is the wisdom of adults————

..........

.......

"Shark, this dress seems very expensive."

Skadi came out of the locker room and held up the tag and said.

However, Laurentina just shook the mysterious little card in her hand and said.

"Don't worry, I've tried it, and the account opened by Agor has not collapsed. It's just clothing expenses. Zuo Jian also said,

This is a necessary expense and cannot be saved! ”

"....oh."

After Skadi finished speaking, she looked at the price on the tag again.

400 ......

Victorian coin

About 4000 Longmen coins.

Chapter 47: Laurentina’s biggest crisis in history!

"What are they doing?"

Skadi was walking down the street wearing a brand new coat and a red scarf around her neck.

Although she didn't really need something to keep warm, Laurentina still insisted on buying one for her.

"Is it New Year's? Every country has its own New Year calendar. It looks like we just happened to catch Victoria a few days before she's preparing to welcome the New Year."

Laurentina came over and explained to Skadi.

Well, there are a lot of useful contents in the guide that Zuo Jian picked up.

At least it can help her understand some of the current customs and habits.

"New Year...?"

[New Year?...I really miss it.]

Zuo Jian quietly poked his eyes out and looked at the scenes where people were beginning to set up the surrounding streets, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Zajian, haven't you celebrated a festival like this for a long time?"

Laurentina lowered her head and stared at the left room with some curiosity.

Even they, as deep-sea hunters, would be granted a short vacation during this special period.

Usually at this time of time, she would spend it with the captain and other team members. For the Agor people, such companions and comrades are more like family members.

Thinking of this, she turned her head and looked at Skadi. Even the latter showed a little nostalgia after hearing the word New Year.

"By the way, Orca, how did Ulpian take care of you three teams during the New Year holiday?"

Laurentina turned around and asked.

However, after just a moment's thought, he answered.

"No need to train in the New Year."

......

...

"Gone?"

".... For the entire holiday, no need."

"?"

Skadi answered Laurentina with a serious look, while showing a bit of nostalgia.

.....She actually thinks this is okay? ! !

[As for me, I am usually the one who stays in the company to work overtime. Everyone needs to go home to be with their families, but someone has to stay to finish the work.]

Zuo Jian thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

"? Huh? Why? On this once-a-year holiday, how can those guys feel comfortable leaving all these things to you alone?"

Hearing the other party's answer, Laurentina suddenly felt unhappy.

[Well, don't be angry, I understand. After all, everyone has family to spend time with. Children look forward to their fathers coming home from their work outside, and mothers look forward to their children returning home.]

".....What about you?"

After listening to Zuo Jian's words, Skadi suddenly interrupted.

Even after she lost her family, she still had the captain by her side.

The holiday is a rare rest, and it is also one of the few warm memories in all her memories.

She... couldn't imagine the feeling of loneliness.

For Skadi, stepping into this strange land alone was enough to make her feel a little tormented.

But the other party...

[Unfortunately, there is no one at home waiting for me to return.]

However, Zuo Jian seemed to be unconcerned and explained his reasons calmly.

[However, at least I can let those juniors who accompany me to work overtime all day go back and have a good New Year.]

Skadi looked at the eyes hidden in the blue brooch on Laurentina's chest with some surprise. The eyes were sincere and gentle, as if she was happy about something.

"I'm sorry...I..."

[No need to apologize, it's not as bad as you think. Every time at this time, everyone will leave a lot of comfort food, so sometimes I can't finish the food from the previous year.]

[Also, a few considerate juniors even suggested taking me back to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year together...]

Wait...it's true that I didn't agree, but...who said that to me...

I can't remember.

[Anyway, these are things of the past, so there is no need to bring them up again.]

He dropped the subject.

"It's okay. If you don't mind, Shark and I should be able to spend the New Year with you."

Skadi looked up and spoke seriously to Zuo Jian.

[Really? Thank you so much, but don’t you still need to find other team members?]

"There are usually holidays during the Victorian New Year, so if we need to go to Londinium to collect and release information... we probably have to wait for the employees there to return to work after their holidays."

At this time, Laurentina, who had been silent, spoke.

[Shh, that’s right, I almost forgot that we should have a holiday during the Chinese New Year.]

[Speaking of which, Laurentina, you were silent just now. Are you thinking about something?]

Zuo Jian noticed that Laurentina had been keeping her head down and silent, as if she was thinking about something.

Generally speaking, hearing Ska

When Dee took the initiative to say "I want to spend the New Year with him", Laurentina should have reacted.

".....Zajian, it's New Year, so we have a holiday, so....Do you remember how we plan to get to Londinium?"

Laurentina lowered her head and looked at the sapphire on her chest, while glancing at Skadi behind her.

[Victoria has steam trains that go directly to all districts - wait...steam train...train...holiday...suspended? ! !]

"...Can you take the killer whale with you and fly across the land of various cities to Londinium?"

[I can't do it. The inhuman state is not easy to control, especially the flying form. Generally speaking, the smaller the body, the easier it is to control, just like the seagull. If the size is increased, it would be OK if it's just us, but we have to bring Skadi along...]

[Do you know when steam trains usually stop running?]

"I don't know...but the clerk said they have statutory holidays...today is the last day of work."

"That kind of public facility like a train..."

Laurentina was startled, and then she dragged Skadi and ran in an unfamiliar direction!

"Hey, Shark, this is not the way back to the hotel..."

"Don't go back to the hotel! Damn it, we forgot about this kind of thing!! Run, orca! If you don't want to eat sand with us on the road for the next few days!"

"Then our things are still in that hotel..."

"Za Ma!!!"

[You guys go to the station first, I'll be back soon.]

As Laurentina growled, the left side immediately turned into a pool of thin blood at her feet, and then quickly broke away.

Then, in an unnoticed corner of the street, a figure that looked exactly like Laurentina ran out and headed straight for the hotel where they had been staying.

"Shark, why are you in such a hurry?"

"If we miss the train, the time it takes to get to Lentinum will be wasted in our rush!"

"By the time we arrive, the newspapers and radio stations there will probably have resumed operations!"

"What's wrong with that?"

Skadi tilted her head, not understanding for a moment what Laurentina was so anxious about.

"Have you forgotten what you just said?"

“I just…”

"Skadi, let me tell you something."

Laurentina turned her head, looked at Skadi, and spoke word by word with great seriousness.

"I want to spend the New Year with Zuo Jian."

"!! That's right, if I'm late......"

"Zuo Jian definitely won't want to waste time in this city. He just wants to help us find other team members as soon as possible, so he will definitely spend his time on the road instead of staying here to celebrate the holiday!"

"Shark...you know him well?"

".....He understands better than anyone else....and sometimes he is so pure and deadly about certain things."

"I've never seen anyone like him—"

Skadi has traveled to many places in Terra these days and naturally met many people.

But there has never been a guy like Zuo Jian...

"He actually understands how complicated human nature is better than anyone else."

Laurentina recalls...

Zuo Jian has never been an indecisive person. Every time he needs to kill, he gives people the feeling of being as cold as a piece of ice...

but....

"Despite this, he still chose to show as much kindness as possible to those in need...even though the other party might not be grateful to him...really, so stupid."

Although Laurentina said this, the slight smile on her face was still reflected in Skadi's pupils.

".....I see."

"And after listening to what he said...I must accompany him in this kind of thing!"

Her eyes were determined as she pulled Skadi and kept running.
