"There are also families where the age gap is too big, but the seniority is completely reversed."
Lurunaka said to Rei. "This kind of thing is probably more popular among the nobles. After all, there are still people who are old enough to go out and flirt. They can even leave behind a few children."
Rei thought for a while, and then suddenly realized — of course, it was not because of the relationship between Pasta and Lulunaka. "No, that's not what I care about!" She pointed at Lulunaka, "What I'm curious about is, who are you?"
Lulunaka didn't care about Rei's rude behavior. Instead, she walked in front of her and reached out to touch her head, "Who am I? Am I not just a person?"
This kind of perfunctory answer could not convince Rei.
What happened yesterday was too strange. She didn't know whether she was lucky or not, going back and forth on the edge of death, and then she was saved by Julius and Lulunaka … To be honest, she probably belonged to the lucky ones. As for the unlucky ones, she would have died in that place.
Pasta looked at the three people outside the counter, and no one knew what he was thinking. He was still holding a cup of tea in his hand.
He didn't join in the conversation. At this time, he didn't want to be the target of a little girl's attention. Lulunaka was enough for such a person.
"Why do you care about this kind of thing?"
Lulunaka touched Rei's head and said to her, "Is my age a very important thing?"
"Feeling is a very strange thing," Rei replied.
Rei replied, "A person who may be an old woman, but she doesn't look much older than me … Isn't that strange?"
"Your eyes are so good."
Lulunaka looked at Rei with a smile. Rei's eyes were normal now, and there was no change, but a child's eyes were as clear as gemstones.
Unfortunately, the scar on Rei's face was a bit of an eyesore.
"Guess how old I am now?"
Rei frowned, and slapped Lulunaka's hand away, "Are you teasing me?"
"Why do you think so?" Lulunaka laughed. "I won't tease little cutie."
At this time, Ward came in from outside and shook off the snow on his body.
The shiny black fur on his body was also dyed with a blue luster, making him look even more peculiar.
It raised its head to look at its master, then looked at Rei and barked at her.
His voice wasn't loud, nor was it ferocious, but it still startled Rei, who quickly hid behind Julius.
"What's wrong with that dog?
It also barked at me yesterday, but it didn't pounce on me. "
Rei was a little nervous. To an orphan, dogs were not friendly creatures, especially wild dogs. They would fight with children for food.
"Relax, Ward is just welcoming strangers."
Lulunaka walked over and rubbed Ward's head. "Alright, that's my friend. You don't have to be so enthusiastic.
Go somewhere else to kill time. Don't eat strange things anymore. "
Ward's body trembled a few times, as if responding to Lulunaka, and then it left.
This strange dog interrupted the conversation between Lulunaka and Rei. After that, the conversation couldn't continue. Lulunaka left and returned to the backyard.
Rei watched Lulunaka disappear and muttered, "What a strange person."
Julius agreed.
"I'm going back. There's nothing I can do here," Rei said to Julius.
Lulunaka's head suddenly popped out from behind the door, and her voice startled Rei. "I don't recommend you go back to the Rat Tunnel. It's best if you don't go underground.
It's quite lively down there now. It's not a place for a child like you to pick up trash. "
Lulunaka's words piqued Rei's curiosity. "What's happening to the sewers?"
"What's happening? It's probably like every living creature and undead is attacking the upper level of the sewers in a frenzy."
Lulunaka replied, "The Rat Tunnel is quite lively now. If you don't want to be trampled to death, it's better if you don't go back."
In a chaotic place like the Rat Tunnel, if a riot broke out, some unlucky souls might really die under the feet of others.
After hearing Lulunaka's words, Rei's desire to go back suddenly weakened.
"There's nothing valuable in that kind of place for you. You should stay."
Lulunaka continued, "Compared to that kind of place, why don't you stay and rest for a while?"
Lulunaka's invitation was very sudden, but it was very attractive. Rei hesitated. Even Julius's face lit up with joy.
Regardless of whether the sewers had changed or not, Julius did not want Rei to go back to that kind of place. She was an orphan, and she was so young. It was not easy for her to survive in the Rat Tunnel for so long. He was worried that Rei might disappear one day. He did not want to see such an ending.
"You want me to stay here?" Rei asked.
"Only temporarily."
Lulunaka said, "But if you want to stay, I won't chase you away, little cutie.
But I think there's a place more suitable for you. If you go there, you'll probably have a better time. "
Lulunaka glanced at Pasta and Julius, then looked inside the shop. "To be honest, it's a little difficult to feed three people here, especially a pig that can eat a lot."
She pointed at Julius, causing Julius's face to turn red. "Didn't you chase me out to feed myself?"
"That's a recent thing. You haven't spat out what you ate in the past."
Lulunaka smiled, criticizing Julius. "You were really a rice bucket in the past. You ate everything."
Julius did not agree with her words, but he gave up the idea of refuting. He just looked elsewhere, not looking into her eyes.
"Anyway, you can stay here for now. You have nowhere to go anyway."
Lulunaka continued to say to Rei. "I've thought of a very suitable person. He's much more reliable than this rice bucket beside you. You'll be able to live a good life."
Lulunaka's tone sounded like she was looking for a guardian for Rei.
Rei blinked. "Why do you sound like I'll definitely listen to you?" She seemed to be conflicted about Lulunaka's arrangement.
"You can trust me. Aren't we partners who have gone through trials and tribulations together?"
Rei did not remember going through trials and tribulations with Lulunaka. Julius might be more suitable. As for her … she was a strange person, although this strange person had helped her.
