Chapter 598: Four hundred and fifty-eight pictures of Ronna the little white rabbit
"Brother!" Elena excitedly ran into her own yard, still holding the box Chen Ze had given her.
"Elena! Where have you been?" Andrew ran out anxiously, God knows how terrible he felt during this time, the moment Elena went missing, he was completely panicked.
And she had disappeared for several days, during which Andrew had not had a good night’s sleep. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Looking at Andrew’s anxious expression, Elena suddenly felt a reluctance to return; she preferred to see him like this every day because it made him seem human, not an emotionless machine.
"Brother, for you." But now that she had already run over, Elena wouldn’t go back into hiding, especially because the manager uncle’s gift needed to be given to Andrew as soon as possible.
"This..." Andrew took the box, glanced at it, and paused for a moment.
This item, it definitely couldn’t be wrong, it must be from manager uncle’s place, that magical restaurant, only there could one find such a box, so...
"You went to the restaurant?" Andrew frowned, looking at his sister, a flame kindling in his heart.
"Yes... yes..." Elena shrank her neck, looking down, not daring to meet her brother’s stern face.
"Haven’t I told you not to bother the manager uncle?" Andrew’s voice grew deeper, the dish that looked great, which must taste amazing, felt like a weight of ten thousand pounds to him, suffocating him.
"Mmm..." Elena nodded tremulously.
"..." Looking at his sister, who resembled a frightened little rabbit, Andrew truly didn’t know what to say. Should he scold her? But it didn’t seem entirely right to do that. Should he just let it slide? But the anger in his heart was growing fiercer.
"I won’t eat it. Don’t bother the manager uncle at the restaurant anymore. I’ll be going on a mission soon, and if I can... if I can come back, we’ll go together, at least to show the uncle our sincerity." Andrew set down the box, then turned and walked away. He wanted to get to the organization’s location as soon as possible to continue training, with the mission looming near.
"Brother..." Elena lifted her head, not understanding why, but she felt a trace of fear, as if her brother might not come back alive this time.
Elena looked up at the sky, now it was daytime, the warm light shone on her, but Elena felt as cold as if it were midwinter.
...
Chen Ze had no idea about Elena’s situation; he was smiling as he watched Betty, who had just teased him. Although Chen Ze wasn’t the type to hold grudges, he still chose to make Betty eat the volcano bread he had baked.
Volcano bread, something Chen Ze had made before; though baked until it was crisp and soft, it tasted of sulphur due to its ingredients, mixing the scent of wheat and the smell of sulphur into something that resembled the odor of flatulence, a wonder of the culinary arts. Thus, this bread was classified as a dark cuisine, and it was this bread that Chen Ze gave to Betty to eat.
"Have you finished throwing up?" Chen Ze looked outside; Moriarty’s tea was almost gone.
"Ugh... Manager... that was too cruel," Betty wished she could tear Chen Ze apart and eat him.
"Tsk, tsk, that’s probably what they call a slip of the tongue." Chen Ze smiled smugly.
"Manager sir!" Ronna’s energetic voice came through again.
"Ronna!" Betty immediately ran out, hugging Ronna and rubbing against her non-stop, feeling that right now the only solace in the world for her was Ronna’s soft and warm body.
"Umm... Betty sister... this is for you." Ronna handed a braided flower to Betty.
"Waaa~ Ronna is the best after all... Come, let sister give you a kiss." Moved, Betty lifted her head, planning to plant a kiss on this little angel, only to see Ronna pinching her nose with a somewhat pained expression.
Betty was stunned all over Magic Capital, she sniffed herself, and then understood why Chen Ze had asked her to watch as he made the bread, and even patted her when taking it out...
"Are you alright, Betty sister?" Ronna looked worriedly at Betty, who was on her knees in an orz position on the ground, seemingly surrounded by black lines above her.
"It’s nothing, just the manager’s sir perverse sense of humor." Moriarty smiled, then began today’s teaching process.
Chen Ze smiled and felt much better, ready to start making pizza for Ronna.
"How did you feel about earlier?" Moriarty asked Ronna with a smile. He had been considering how to expose Ronna to a battle of wits, even planning to play with Holmes and then tell Ronna about it, but now, he had even better material.
"Umm... I think everyone is so awesome, it’s impossible to guess everyone’s real identity." Ronna blinked her innocent big eyes, obviously aware that her teacher was referring to the earlier game of Werewolf.
"Naturally, these guys are no easy marks, and their speeches are mostly flawless." Moriarty looked at his pupil with a smile, curious whether in the future, France might see a queen arise.
"Right, and I never expected that you, teacher, would be that role." Ronna nodded, feeling like an innocent little rabbit being toyed with by all these cunning foxes.
"This is the problem of preconceived notions, because I am your teacher, so naturally, you’d tend to believe me more easily, even though I’ve told you before not to trust others so readily." Moriarty’s expression turned serious.
"Trusting others is a foolish thing, especially trusting someone unconditionally. You need to understand, Ronna, if you want to be in power, maintaining skepticism is your virtue. Of course, this doesn’t mean you should distrust others blindly, you must have absolute power in your hands to rule a nation." Moriarty explained patiently the knowledge of being a queen to his pupil.
Otherwise, he was really worried his pupil would be sold out, and still help count money for others with a smile on her face, Moriarty couldn’t afford to lose that kind of face.
"Okay!" Ronna listened very attentively.
"My magical life... ruined, it’s all ruined..." Betty crawled up, dejected. She still had to pour lemon water for Ronna.
"Manager... I will definitely get my revenge!" Betty clenched her fists with gritted teeth, now her image must have completely collapsed in Ronna’s heart, having lost the affection of these cute and soft little darlings, Betty felt her magical life was utterly without interest.
