The next morning, Julius went out without waking up. If he went to Rei's place too often, it would attract too much attention, and it didn't seem to be a good idea — it would probably make Rei unhappy.
Although he was worried about Rei's well-being, judging from yesterday's situation, Rei was quite happy there, so he was relieved.
Yesterday, when he heard that Lulunaka was going out again, Julius didn't want to wander around. He didn't even think about what to do next, because Lulunaka had already made arrangements for him and Romuona.
It was winter now, and when he got up, he could feel a chill spreading from his back to his neck. When Julius got up in his kennel-like place, Ward was still lying on the edge of his broken bed, with a big bone in his mouth.
Julius put on thick clothes and kicked Ward's bone aside. This woke Ward up — why an artificial dog needed to sleep was still a mystery that only Lulunaka knew. It followed the bone for a few steps, and then lay down again.
Julius came to the yard and saw that Lulunaka was already working.
Today, she didn't stir the alchemy cauldron, but sat on it, holding a metal box in her hands and sliding her hands on it.
The metal box looked like a Rubik's cube, and its surface was covered with intersecting cracks. Lulunaka's slender fingers moved between these cracks.
"Good morning," Julius said to Lulunaka first.
Lulunaka had been closing her eyes all this time, even when Julius came down, she didn't open them. When she heard his voice, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked straight at Julius. "Good morning, human."
Hearing Lulunaka's words, Julius was stunned. What's wrong with her?
A new way to play?
"Human?" Julius repeated the word that came out of Lurunaka's mouth.
Looking at Julius's dumbfounded look, Lulunaka's originally expressionless face suddenly bloomed with a smile. "Are you the kind of person who will be at a loss when something familiar suddenly becomes unfamiliar?"
Seeing that Lulunaka had returned to her original appearance, Julius was sure that Lulunaka was playing with him again.
However, he was relieved to see her change from her frightening appearance to the one he was familiar with.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm working. If I don't work, I won't be able to eat."
Lulunaka smiled and said, "I'm going to be away for a while. I need to replenish my stock so that Uncle won't have to sit in a shop that doesn't even have any stock."
Julius didn't think so. He felt that Lulunaka's shop already had enough goods, and there was a trend of more and more. The shelves and exhibition tables were almost full.
Except for a very small number of people — people like Balik and Barr — he hadn't seen any other customers come here.
Although occasionally a few items would disappear, probably because they were bought, most of the items were still placed there. No one took a fancy to them, not to mention that no one came.
However, that was something that Lulunaka needed to worry about. Whatever Lulunaka did, it wasn't up to Julius to tell her.
"You know that's not what I want to ask." Julius continued.
"Where are you going to take me this time?"
Julius had been following Lulunaka for a while. Since the first time she reached out to Julius, he had never gotten rid of Lulunaka. Every time, he was led by her. This might sound like a child, but he was indeed led by Lulunaka like a child.
At least it was much better than being an animal. Sometimes, Julius comforted himself like this, although he seemed to be ordered around like an animal.
"Not only you, but also Romuona." Lulunaka added, "This time, it's not just you and me traveling.
There are two lovely girls accompanying me. This is a treatment that even a noble young master doesn't have. "
"Girls?"
Julius looked at Lulunaka with a suspicious expression. Even if he didn't speak, the meaning in his eyes should have been clearly conveyed to Lulunaka.
Lulunaka was not angry with Julius's attitude. She hummed a little tune and looked relaxed.
At this time, Romuona approached Julius from behind.
She said when she was close to Julius, "I also want to know where you are taking me."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Julius was startled. He was still in a hazy state when he just woke up. If it was normal, he would certainly notice that there was someone behind him. Now, he was finally completely awake.
"Good morning, Romuona." Lulunaka showed a bright smile to Romuona. "Did you sleep well last night?"
Romuona nodded. "Your body is very warm." Hearing this, Lulunaka smiled happily. "I think so too. Very warm."
Hearing this conversation, Julius coughed a few times. There was an awkward expression on his face. If he wasn't thick-skinned, he would probably be blushing right now.
He knew that these two usually slept together, but he still hoped that the two of them would pay attention to the situation. There were other men present.
"Are you shy?" Lulunaka noticed the subtle changes on Julius's face and asked him.
Julius shook his head decisively.
Lulunaka didn't intend to continue asking Julius, and Romuona also spoke. "Where are you taking us?" She repeated.
"Can I not say first?" Lulunaka asked. Romuona shook her head.
Lulunaka immediately showed a distressed expression. "What should we do? If we tell the destination so quickly, this trip won't be fun …"
"The last time she went out, she was also like this."
Julius said to Romuona, "She didn't intend to let us know where she was going until she stopped and found that she had come to a strange place."
Romuona listened to Julius's words and looked thoughtful. Then she said, "Yes, that's true … It seems that I have never gone out with Lulunaka before. Only you guys have such experience." Romuona was naturally referring to Julius and the other two men.
Julius felt that Romuona's words were a bit strange, and it gave him a strange feeling in his heart.
But he couldn't find the problem. He could only touch the back of his head and didn't know what to say.
Lulunaka, who had been looking at Romuona and Julius from a high place, looked like she had seen through everything. She even began to clap her hands. "This is really interesting. With the two of you, the journey won't be boring."
