Chapter 46: Life, Be Careful!

The girl looked at Kratos and Logan who had returned, and couldn't help but startled, and then laughed.

The cute smile and the shoulder-length blonde hair seem to shine brightly in this cute smile.

Kratos ignored him at all, looking down.

"My pocket knife seems to be lost here."

Logan explained.

"I-I'll help you."

The girl said in a clear and pleasant voice.

Kratos and Rogan did not refuse. The weeds near this grove after school were dense, and the light began to dim in the evening, so it would be good to have one more person to look for.

And soon, Kratos and Logan were thankful for their thoughts.

"Is it this one?"

The girl raised the knife in her hand and looked at Kratos and Logan expectantly.

"Yes, that's it."

"This is what my father gave me."

"It's my most precious thing."

"Thank you so much, thank you so much."

Logan happily took the knife and thanked the girl repeatedly.

The girl shook her head again and again at a loss, but reluctance rose again in her heart.

Knife found.

Are they leaving?

I would love to spend more time with them.

The girl thought silently.

Then--

"Kratos, Logan!"

Esther's figure appeared on the side of the teaching building. After seeing the figures of Kratos and Logan, Esther ran over quickly, and after seeing that both of them were okay,

Esther, who took on the role of dad, was relieved.

After waiting at the school gate for 10 minutes, it was clear that Quest and Logan, who were punctual, couldn't wait any longer, and went directly to the school to find someone.

After questioning other students in the classroom, Esther quickly found the woods behind the school.

"Aren't you hurt?"

Although his eyes confirmed it, Est still asked.

"No."

"They were scared off by me and Quest."

"We came back just looking for my knife."

Logan shook his head.

"That's good."

"Have you found the knife?"

Esther asked with a smile.

"found it!"

"This senior helped me find it!"

Logan pointed to the girl beside him.

Esther immediately smiled at the girl.

"Hello, I'm Esther, their guardian."

Esther introduced himself.

"Hello, I'm Emma."

Out of courtesy, the girl said her name.

"Are you a student here?"

Astor asked.

"That's it."

Emma spoke ambiguously, as if it was a little bit unspeakable.

Est naturally understands, but he doesn't care, as long as Kratos and Logan are fine, the rest?

who cares.

Just as Esther was about to say goodbye to the little girl who helped Kratos and Logan, he suddenly thought, maybe Kratos and Logan have one more friend?

Thinking of this, Esther suddenly said: "As a thank you, our family would like to invite you to have dinner together, would you like to?"

"certainly!"

The little girl nodded immediately, and a smile appeared on her face again.

Still that black muscle car.

The seven-seat space, after adding three more children, is not a problem.

Arras looked curiously at the newly added little girl.

"Hello, I'm Emma, ​​a student at Xavier's School for Gifted Teens."

Emma introduced herself.

"Arras."

Alas immediately showed a bold smile.

"Avante Joe."

Through the mask, Avante also showed a kind smile. For some reason, after having three more children in the car, instead of feeling bored, he felt a touch of warmth.

It seemed that this was what he had been expecting.

home?

Aventur thought, and then his eyes swept to Jason.

There was undisguised boredom in his eyes.

Ivant really didn't like Jason. He always felt that Jason's occasional look like a fool was really an insult to him.

Moreover, Ivant always felt that Jason was so out of place in this car, which affected the warmth of home.

However, Avent also understands how sad it is for Jason to exist in an organization like the Night Owl Court.

Emotional indifference, not even allowed to have feelings.

They simply don't understand family, friendship, love, let alone the feeling of home.

Such a poor person!

Thinking of this, Avante's gaze towards Jason couldn't help showing a trace of pity.

Jason saw the look of pity mixed with Avante's boredom, and he responded with an indifferent look.

Don't argue with fools.

Jason told himself, and then said lightly to Emma, ​​"Jason."

Although Jason's attitude was cold, Emma didn't mind.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jason."

"And Sister Arras and Mr. Avent."

Emma was very polite.

This made Avent and Alas like this little girl even more.

Along the way, everyone was talking non-stop.

And the car drove to the temporary secret bases of the former 'Brotherhood', 'Hydra', 'Gaotie Society', and 'Night Owl Court' - this was specially rented by Esther with his savings. The secret base of the organization is also to accommodate Kratos, Logan and Warren's wife Percy, and Clive's girlfriend Danvers.

The Edwins have their own house and occasionally come here.

The car stopped, and the children ran directly towards the single-family apartment under Avent's supervision.

"Why not separate?"

Alas asked curiously after the children rushed into the room.

"Hiding is a profound knowledge. It is not so clever to be blindly detached. Emphasizing concealment is not very clever. On the contrary, it is best to integrate into life. It is..."

Esther said seriously.

However, under Jason's gaze, the young man who hoped to live a long life shrugged his shoulders and had a showdown.

"Well, I can't make it up anymore. Simply put, after renting this place, I don't have the money to rent other places."

"Don't ask Senior Edmond if he has money."

"He's a pauper worse than me."

"However, poverty is temporary. I will soon be able to get double reimbursement from the 'Asylum' and the 'Holy Snake Society', and then we will be able to create another secret base."

Esther said confidently.

"Let's go, dinner is about to start."

"I've heard from Clive that his girlfriend cooks delicious food. I don't know..."

Esther said excitedly.

But the words were only halfway through, and his face was gloomy.

He was obviously thinking of Clive, who died inexplicably.

I couldn't help taking a breath.

Esther will hide it sadly, put on a smiling face again, and strode in.

Arras was about to follow, but he took a step only to find Jason standing there, not moving.

"Jason?"

Arras looked at Jason in surprise.

"Tell Esther for me, I have some personal matters to deal with."

After saying that, Jason turned around and left.

Alas stared blankly at Jason, his face full of surprise.

She knew Jason.

Jason has a passion for food from the bottom of his heart.

And now?

You don't even go to dinner, but to deal with personal affairs?

What kind of private matter can be more important than eating?

Confused, Arras walked into the house.

Hearing the sound of the door closing behind him, Jason twitched his nose violently.

smell good!

I want to eat it!

Can……

If I go, everyone will be hungry.

Jason, who is very self-aware, couldn't help taking a deep breath.

Although he can restrain his 'hunger' a little now, this restraint is only before he starts eating. Once he eats, Jason knows very well what state he will be in.

I'm afraid there won't be any food left.

It's okay for adults to be hungry for a meal or two, but not for children.

What's more, one of them is a guest.

"Restraint...still not enough!"

With such a sigh, Jason pulled up the wide hood, covered his cheeks, and strolled on the streets of Angcheng at night, and soon he blended into the crowd after get off work.

Street lights and moonlight mixed on the street, bright and soft.

People who got off work unconsciously slowed down.

They seem to be enjoying the rarest time of the day.

An unconscious smile appeared on his face.

Are you happy?

At least, at the moment is happy.

And in such a happy slow rhythm, Kuya, who is almost a trot, naturally becomes an alternative.

However, Kuya wouldn't care about the gazes of those around him.

She is her, a different Kuya.

Now, she just wants to go home as quickly as possible.

'Talon 13' must have been waiting for me outside the house for a long time, right?

Do not!

It should have been waiting around me all the time.

Kuya, who refused to work overtime habitually, couldn't help but raised her head, she just wanted to take a look.

Then……

A tall, familiar figure came into view.

That is!

Kuya almost screamed.

However, she forcibly held back.

She started chasing after the figure, and even two office workers who couldn't dodge were knocked down by her.

"Feel sorry."

"I'm chasing happiness!"

Kuya didn't help him, he could only apologize apologetically.

The two office workers who were knocked to the ground were surprised at first, and then they could only smile bitterly. One of them was obviously good-natured, and the guy who liked to join in the fun directly shouted: "Come on, be happy!"

Such a sound is naturally striking.

People looked at Kuya, who was running, and at the tall figure, and couldn't help but smile.

At some point in the past, they seemed to be so reckless.

A whispered blessing rang out.

Kuya blushed and ran faster and faster.

Jason's face was gloomy.

Damn Esther, why did you choose a place so close to the Holy Snake Society!

With such swearing, Jason walked faster and faster.

Seeing Jason, who was getting farther and farther away from him, Kuya, who was chasing at full speed, couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Why?

Do you hate me so much?

Don't you want to see me other than the mission?

The unwilling Kuya shouted loudly—

"I just want to invite you to dinner!"

Whoosh, whoosh.

After shouting this sentence, Kuya put his hands on his knees, gasping for breath.

She was exhausted and too tired to catch up.

The exhaustion and disappointment in her heart made her feel an unprecedented discomfort.

At this moment, a shadow lit by the moon appeared on the road amid the sound of the cloak across the night sky. Kuya was stunned, and then raised his head in surprise.

She saw the familiar mask.

Her... 'Claw 13'.

Familiar figure.

Familiar breath.

And, that familiar voice—

"Where to eat?"
