Lulunaka crawled back into the workshop. After a while, she came out with three wooden cups.
Julius thought she had made some strange potion for them to drink, but it turned out that it was just steaming milk.
He and Rei took the cups and looked at Lulunaka.
Julius had a suspicious look on his face. When did Lulunaka become such a considerate person?
"If you don't want to drink it, give it to her." Lulunaka pointed at Rei. Rei had already drunk half of the milk.
She looked starving. After running for almost the whole day yesterday, she almost fainted when she closed her eyes last night, but it didn't mean she wasn't hungry.
"You didn't add anything in it, right?" Julius asked.
Lulunaka pointed at the cup in his hand. On the swaying surface of the milk, there was indeed a blue luster.
"I added something from the sky. If you don't dare to drink it, I'll take it back."
Julius didn't know whether Lulunaka was joking or serious.
Because the sunlight was dyed blue, many things under the sun had a layer of blue luster, and the white milk was no exception.
Lulunaka might have just said it casually, or she really added something in the milk to give it such a strange color.
But no matter what, Rei had already drunk the milk. If he backed out now, it would be too embarrassing for him.
Plus, his body was cold, and the warmth in his hand made him reluctant to part with it.
In the end, he and Rei both drank the milk. The only thing that made him feel a little relieved was that Lulunaka also drank the milk. It didn't seem like she was going to torture him and Rei.
After his body warmed up, Julius's brain started to work.
"What the hell is going on?" Julius asked Lulunaka. "The whole sky turned blue."
"The sky has always been blue. What's so strange about it?" Lulunaka asked back.
"This isn't funny."
Julius frowned. "The blue sky is not like this … Even the sun has turned blue."
"We also saw the blue light underground."
Rei also asked, looking at Lulunaka suspiciously. "The timing is too coincidental, and it seems that there were only a few of us at that place..."
Lulunaka pointed at herself. "Are you suspecting me?"
Julius and Rei did not say anything.
Lulunaka chuckled. "If you have doubts in your hearts, then what you say won't be convincing.
When you were doubting me, you were also thinking, is this really something that a single person can do? "
Julius did have such doubts in his heart. Could Lulunaka really do such a thing by herself?
He had always believed that she was a witch — now, he no longer believed that — and that she was a very special being. But after what happened and the scale of it became so great, he began to doubt himself.
Perhaps he was just thinking too much. Was it just a coincidence?
But this coincidence was really too ingenious.
Rei did not know much about Lulunaka. She just thought that the timing was too coincidental, and with her understanding of the sewers, she should have been in the deepest part of the underground at that time... at least that was what she thought.
"If I say I did it, would you believe me?" Lulunaka squatted in front of Rei and asked her with a smile.
This was indeed a very delicate question, and Rei did not know how to answer.
No matter what Lulunaka said, it seemed that she could not believe it.
If she said yes, then this matter was too absurd. How did she do it? If she said no, then there were some questions in her heart that could not be explained.
While Rei was troubled, Lulunaka had already walked into the shop. "Let's go in." Julius said to Rei.
Rei nodded and followed him into the shop.
When the two entered, they saw Pasta.
Pasta was still sitting behind the counter. The cup on the counter was still steaming, and inside it was turbid tea.
As for Lulunaka, she was not here. She seemed to have run to the attic, and there was also the creaking sound of the wooden ladder being stepped on.
"Don't touch those things casually."
Pasta said to Rei in a very calm tone, "If you get hurt, don't cry, or you won't even have the chance to cry."
Pasta's tone did not sound like he was worried that the things in the shop would be damaged by a child, but more like he was worried that Rei would be hurt by the things in the shop.
Rei stared at Pasta for a long time. Compared to the strange things in the shop, she seemed to care more about Pasta.
"You're Lulunaka's uncle?" She actually asked this question, which made both Julius and Pasta stunned.
Last night, Julius and Rei came back very late. Julius was really unwilling to let an injured person like Rei return to the Rat Path, which was a harsh place, so he braced himself and brought her back.
Pasta did not rest at that time. Under that kind of sky, no one could sleep well. When he saw Julius bring a little girl back, he did not say anything, and just let them do as they pleased.
At that time, Rei did not have the time to observe Pasta properly. Now, she had the time and energy to do so. Therefore, she asked this question.
"I am indeed her uncle." Pasta replied, and then looked at Julius, "That's true, right?"
Pasta's words to Julius sounded like a confirmation, but also like a question. This ambiguous tone made Julius not know how to answer.
Rei glanced at Julius, and then at Pasta, "You said he's your uncle, right?"
Julius did say that, even if it was just a disguise.
However, when Rei said it out loud, and she was right in front of Pasta, he found it a little difficult to admit that it was "true".
"Yes, he's my uncle."
"It's not good to lie."
Rei said, and then pointed at Pasta, "I feel like he's not your relative at all … Let's not talk about this. Is he really Lulunaka's uncle?
How can a young person be an uncle to an old person? "
Rei's words were very interesting. Pasta stroked his beard, and looked pensive, "So in other people's eyes, that's how it is?
I didn't expect that. "
"Of course a young person can be an uncle to an old person." At this time, Lulunaka came down from the attic, and stood behind Julius and Rei.
