She smiled, and without giving Maria much room to maneuver, she turned around and took Maria out of the slum.

After hesitating for a while, Maria followed silently.

As for the girl's commission, it is indeed not something she can complete just because she wants to.

In that case, she might as well go out and have some fun with him.

Besides...

Maria turned her head silently.

She could clearly feel that since she met Nian, there were many hidden eyes around watching her.

Maybe they thought they were hiding well, but for Maria, such hiding was still too crude.

Before, Maria thought that this was a member of the Integration Movement, supporting Faust and the others.

But now it seems...

"It's not peaceful here either."

Maria let out a breath softly.

Chapter 75: The chapter title is not necessarily related to the content~

silence……

But there was a deafening silence.

Although Texas is usually quiet when driving on weekdays, the situation today is obviously different from usual.

It seemed that Texas felt uncomfortable seeing the operator named Keobe and Maria being so close together, so she was in a state of aggrieved and irritable state while driving.

Even though the tail was drooping, the car was driving at a speed never before achieved.

She was extremely focused and didn't say a word.

There is a sense of silent and calm irritability.

The Archangel on the side seemed indifferent.

She even wanted to open a window to enjoy how strong the wind was.

It’s hard to say what would have happened if Croissant hadn’t tried to stop him.

Thanks to the express train, everyone returned to Penguin Logistics quickly.

This time, Exia took the initiative to take on the task of reporting the work, and ran away with a smile, while Croissant suffered from motion sickness, which was rare for him.

Only Texas, which realized it later, felt a little guilty.

She knew that the jealousy that was rising in her heart was completely inexplicable.

But... people are like this, their emotions are never influenced by their subjective consciousness.

Even though she knew that Maria was a unique individual with her own life and people she knew, she shouldn't have any strange thoughts.

But she just couldn't control her emotions.

I thought I was the only one for him, but it turned out that Maria had another one outside!

There's a sense of loss that I'm not that important...

Texas is lost.

Soon, the Archangel who reported the mission came back with a smile.

"The Emperor has given us another week's vacation~"

"So, do you want to go find Miss Maria and inform her?"

As she spoke, she walked around to Texas and poked her shoulder.

Texas' eyes lit up for a few moments, then drooped again.

"Forget it, I'll contact her later."

"Hmm~"

"If you have nothing to do, I'll go out for a walk."

"Okay, then buy me some desserts~"

Exia waved goodbye to Texas and trotted out.

Texas just nodded and wandered around alone, feeling lost.

As she walked, she subconsciously came to a coffee shop.

"here……"

Looking up and seeing the familiar sign above, Texas realized that this was the place Maria invited him to last time.

Although this place is where the infected person exploded, but... explosions aside, life must go on.

Even though there is a dilapidated building after the explosion not far away, this place is still open for business.

Of course, due to concerns about the Originium dust in the air, there are fewer guests here now.

It will probably take some time for the situation to return to normal.

The premise is that there are no new infected people here.

Shaking his head, Texas didn't think any further and turned around and walked into the cafe.

The cafe was deserted and the previous waiter was not there... probably resigned.

Maybe finding a new job will be difficult, but at least it's better than being infected with Originium disease.

And the only one who still sticks here is the boss.

He was a middle-aged man, with his back straight, wearing a black and white suit, and his face was calm and restrained.

After seeing Texas's visit, his face stiffened uncontrollably for a few seconds, and then relaxed.

"Are you a guest?"

"Ah."

"Would you like something to drink? Wine, or maybe tea or coffee?"

"Do you still sell alcohol here?"

"To make a living, you naturally need more opportunities. This place is a cafe during the day and a bar at night."

The man said this, lowered his head for a moment, and then poured a glass for Texas.

"Ok?"

"Consider it my treat... I never thought I'd see you again."

"you know me?"

"I used to be from Syracuse...although I was just a petty thief."

The man shook his head, showed Texas his right hand, which was obviously a prosthetic limb, and then lowered his head again.

"So... are you here to kill me?"

"I don't know what happened to you, but even if I knew, I wouldn't do anything... I've already left the family."

"No one in Syracuse can leave the family."

"This is Longmen."

"……Yeah."

After a moment of silence, the man suddenly started laughing to himself.

He turned his head and looked at the depressed Texas, then lowered his head to mix a new flavor of drink.

"So...what are you doing here?"

"When you come to a cafe, you naturally want to have a drink and kill time."

"that is it?"

"It's just like this..."

Texas's tail drooped, and there was no life in his eyes.

This made the man feel confused.

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke slowly.

"You don't look okay."

"Do you still like to meddle in other people's affairs?"

"As an older man, I'm just curious about what troubles young people have."

The man shook his head and spoke slowly.

After it became clear that Texas was not someone from Syracuse's family sent to deal with him, the man visibly relaxed.

At least, at this moment, there were no family members here, only two wandering Syracuse people.

Texas was silent for a while before slowly leaning against the bar.

"Nothing interesting happened. I just started to feel self-loathing because of the jealousy I shouldn't have."

"...Do you have to be so hard to understand?"

The man's expression was a little subtle.

Texas didn't say much, but drank the liquor in the glass in one breath, and saw the boss next to him with a look of surprise.

He wanted to remind the other party that the wine was quite strong, but before he could finish his words, Texas had already finished it.

He scratched his head helplessly.

"You have to pay for the next drink."

"Um."

Texas didn't refuse, but just lowered his head and continued to mutter.

The man couldn't hear what she was mumbling, so he just smiled and continued to do his own thing.

"So... is it because of the woman you brought last time?"

"Ok?"

"This is my shop. I have some knowledge of what happened here." Seeing Texas's alertness, the man quickly explained, "So, is it because of her? A relationship problem?"

"..."

Texas didn't say much, but just lowered her head so that people couldn't see her expression.

And that's when a man wants to say something.

White light flickered in the air.

"Eh? Texas, you still make such an expression?"

The smiling woman with white hair and a black windbreaker stood at the door, drew out her sharp blade and pointed it at Texas, with a hint of madness in her eyes.

When Texas heard the familiar voice, he turned his head and looked at the other person.

"Lappland..."

Chapter 76 Are you looking at me?

Syracuse is not a nice place.

For tourists, the people in that place are very xenophobic. Although there are many kind people, ordinary people are relatively speaking just there for tourism and are completely unable to integrate into that kind of life.

And for those who were born in Syracuse, Syracuse is a bloody banquet that never ends.

There, as long as you want to survive, you must join a family and then treat everything in the family as your own.

Assassination, bloody battle, explosion.

These were perfectly normal days in Syracuse.
