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

Narcissa was stunned for a moment, then shrank behind a pillar in fear.

"Hahahahahaha, that's great. Just when I came up with a plan, someone delivered it to my door."

Zuo Jian showed a strange smile, walked to the side of the former, looked at the shivering Narcissa, and asked.

"Hello, little devil - how unfortunate that I caught you."

“Well…I…”

He squatted down and looked at Narcissa with a terrifying smile.

"You're so unlucky, kid. I was just planning to be a villain and you showed up at my doorstep."

He raised his arm, which looked like a sharp claw, and swung it towards Narcissa!

The latter was so scared that he closed his eyes, but the next thing he did was...he felt a gentle touch on his head...

"Hahahahaha! I've decided. Our first evil plan is to hire child laborers! The compulsory kind!"

Zuo Jian laughed wildly and then touched Narcissa's head.

"Kid, from now on, you are my subordinate. I don't care where you wanted to go just now, but now that you are in my hands, don't even think about running away. Be prepared to spend a torturous and cruel future in my hands."

"I will use you for four hours every day, and I will only let you rest on weekends and holidays. I will not pay you a salary, but only give you daily food! Ah - how evil it is, employing child labor and not paying you a salary!"

“Hahahahaha! I can’t even imagine how miserable your life will be in my hands next!!!”

......

...

Narcissa was stunned and looked at her bed...

There is also a black figure sleeping against the wall...

Just now this guy... said a lot of weird things... and then he went back to his room and fell asleep...

What else...

"The first order is to force you to sleep at night! You are not allowed to stay up late!"

After saying that... the man fell asleep...

But...

Narcissa turned her head and looked at the slowly rising white sky...

It's not night yet...

.......

...

At this moment, on a moving steam train.

"stamp...."

? !

Zuo Jian suddenly opened his eyes, then turned his head and looked around dazedly, looking at Laurentina in front of him with some confusion.

"Slept so well - I didn't expect you would stay in bed."

Laurentina said to Zuo Jian with a little surprise.

[....I seem to be having a nightmare.]

"?"

[I dreamed that I turned into my middle school self and said a bunch of weird things to a little girl on film]

Zuo Jian said with some sweat dripping down his face.

"Chuunibyou? Tell me about it, tell me about it!"

Upon hearing this, Laurentina suddenly became interested, and then her eyes lit up as she wanted to find out—

[.....Why did I become like you?]

Zuo Jian ignored her and changed the subject. Then he lowered his head and realized that he was in a physical state.

Still looks like Laurentina.

"....have no idea."

She turned her head guiltily.

[? What did you do last night?]

"I didn't do anything." Laurentina felt even more guilty.

(First of all, I wish you all a happy new year. Secondly,... Guomie, due to family reasons, I may not be able to update twice a day during this period, so I will notify you in advance, Guomie!)

Chapter 54: Sleepless Night and New Year (Part 1)

'Passengers, we have arrived at the final stop - Londinium Block South Station.'

'Please be in order...'

The midday sun shines

, as if paving the way home for the travelers who hurriedly stepped out of the train.

But... there are always some people who do not belong to this group of people.

[I said, did you really do nothing last night?]

On Laurentina's chest, the big eyes that turned into a brooch blinked, filled with all kinds of doubts and disbelief.

The former just avoided her gaze, then turned around and walked directly to Skadi who was carrying luggage beside her and said.

"Ah~ Orca, why are you still carrying your luggage? You must be tired after such a long journey. Let me carry it--"

"Not tired, Shark, these bags are light."

Skadi looked at his former teammates with some surprise.

This little bit is nothing to a deep-sea hunter, so why are sharks so worried about themselves?

"...Ahahaha...Really? I almost forgot that you're super strong. In that case, why don't we buy something else before we go back..."

[....I can't even praise your ability to change the subject.]

Zuo Jian sighed and looked at her with an expression that showed that no matter what you thought, she just didn't want to say anything.

[Okay, if you don’t want to talk, don’t talk. I won’t force you.]

"Really?"

Laurentina blinked her beautiful red eyes, and then a different kind of light flashed in them.

[Also, where to stay tonight...]

“Let’s rent a house!”

The excited little shark stood on tiptoe and raised his hand high.

[Rent a house? Now——]

"Didn't we agree to celebrate the New Year? What's the point of staying in a hotel? Don't you think so, Orca?" Laurentina turned her head and looked at her teammates with anticipation.

Skadi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"I have no opinion."

"look!"

As if feeling that her meaning was not clear enough, Skadi added another sentence.

"Whether it's renting a house or a hotel, I have no problem with that. Hunters are not picky about the environment in which they rest."

"The latter part is not necessary!"

[Laurentina....]

"Besides, we are staying in Londinium now. The places we need to go to are probably not in operation. After the annual leave is over, the employees will return one after another. We will stay here for at least a month this time. Wouldn't it be better to have a fixed base?"

"And at this time of day, shouldn't we take a good rest?! Right! Right!"

Although she turned her head and spoke to Skadi, it was obvious who she was actually addressing.

[.....Okay, you make sense, but what about renting a house? Like you said, everyone is on vacation, so the real estate agent should also be——]

"Well, there's no need to worry about that. If you just look around, you'll always run into a few unlucky guys who are working overtime during the New Year."

Laurentina waved her hands, indicating that these were not a problem at all.

"Besides! We haven't even celebrated the recovery of the killer whale yet! Shouldn't we make up for the expected welcome party?"

Zuo Jian looked at Laurentina's increasingly expectant eyes. Although he didn't know what she was expecting, he couldn't refuse.

[Okay, okay, there's really nothing I can do about you.]

He sighed, then fell off from Laurentina's feet, turning into thin threads of blood that gathered into the public toilet nearby without anyone noticing.

Subsequently.

The door to the men's restroom opened.

A middle-aged man with a helpless look on his face walked out and came to Laurentina's side.

[Then I will go buy some necessary things, and leave the matter of finding a base...or renting a house to you.]

"Great! Killer Whale, let's go!"

Seeing Zuo Jian nod, Laurentina cheered, then grabbed Skadi and ran in another direction.

"She is really....Alas."

Looking at Skadi's back as she was grabbed by Laurentina and left without even realizing it, Zuo Jian shook his head helplessly.

"But....Chinese New Year.....Huh.....is not bad at all."

Unconsciously, he even had a smile on his face.

"Shark, aren't we going to find a real estate agent? Where is this place?"

"Oh, there's no rush for that kind of thing... Phew, luckily there's actually something to buy here."

Laurentina looked at the land vehicle supply store in front of her, and then she saw

"Liquid pure Originium is generally used as fuel for large machinery or as a medium for warlocks to cast spells, although the effect is definitely not as good as solid Originium."

She stepped forward and took a look at the tubes of black-gold liquid sealed in the shape of fuel rods placed in the transparent explosion-proof safe shelves.

"Why buy this? We don't have any large equipment that needs to be refueled, and we don't have any warlocks..."

Skadi tilted her head, but the other party smiled.

"No, of course! But it's not a machine..."

When she thought of this, Laurentina recalled the "overnourished" state of Zuo Jian after he ingested too much high-concentration Originium liquid not long after they met.

Almost exactly like The Hangover!

This is the scene when I am still in my own body.

Now Zuo Jian has escaped! We just need to find a way to make him drink it...

"Shark, what's wrong with you? Why is your face suddenly so red?"

Skadi came forward and asked Laurentina, who was blushing.

"No, nothing! Boss! I want those goods!"

"Show your special occupational operation certificate or warlock occupational certificate, otherwise dangerous goods will not be sold separately."

I don’t know if it’s because he has to go to work during the New Year or for some other reason, but when I saw the other person yawning, I spoke absentmindedly.

"Excuse me, can you let me see that ID?"

"This is the kind officially issued by Victoria. If you don't have it, this store won't sell it."

The receptionist took out a certificate from the cabinet and threw it on the table.
