Chapter 164 Misunderstanding
After temporarily ending her meeting with Narcida due to thirst, Alechino immediately realized that something was wrong with her.
She tried to resist her body's instinctive actions, but found that the more she did so, the more thirsty she felt, as if she was an adventurer lost in the desert and about to die of thirst.
But if you give in to the urge to drink water, your thirst will quickly return to normal.
With doubts in her heart, Alechino no longer resisted, but spread out her red wings and flew like a ghost in the direction she instinctively wanted to go.
Along the way, the children of Hearth House were frightened. After all, in their impression, their father would only show this attitude before killing someone.
"I believe you. Anyone who works with the Doctor must be a bad person."
In front of the window cut by the sword energy, Liu Bai spoke to Krevie seriously, holding a milkshake in his hand and pointing the straw towards Krevie's mouth.
Then the straw went through her mouth.
tsk...
Liu Bai was a little disappointed when he saw this scene.
"Ok?"
Just when Liu Bai was about to take back the milkshake, he suddenly noticed something and immediately turned around.
A ghostly figure floated over, and a dark hand grabbed Krevi's neck in front of Liu Bai.
"...?"
'…people of no value were sent to [the Doctor] for experimentation.'
'I don't expect you to believe me. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, [Mother] has always been a good person.'
Just as Alecino's hand was about to hold the milkshake in front of Krevie, Liu Bai pointed his right hand at Alecino and slashed.
Clang——
Along with the sound of metal clashing, at the critical moment a blood-red sickle appeared in Alechino's hand to block Liu Bai's sword.
The impact instantly separated the two of them. When Alechino landed, the floor tiles under her feet were shattered by the huge force. Only Klevi stood there in a daze.
"Mr. Lerch, do you know what you are doing?"
Alechino held the sickle behind his back with one hand and asked Liu Bai in a calm tone.
After saying that, she subconsciously bit the straw on the milkshake bottle and took a sip.
“…This milkshake is so delicious.”
There was a rare slight change in Alechino's expression. The delicious food seemed to make her relax a lot.
She had never commented so sincerely on the taste of food before.
"Hmph, don't even think about hurting her while I'm here."
Liu Bai returned to Keliwei, took her hand and asked her to stand behind him... took her hand?
After Liu Bai missed his catch, he tried again, but still couldn't catch it.
There was really no other choice, so Liu Bai had to raise the lightsaber and point it at Alechino, and five flying swords appeared behind him.
"Master Wangzhe, what are you doing? Why are you raising your sword against our father?"
Lini and others who followed Alecino saw this scene and spoke in disbelief.
Although he is a little strange, he is an executive who is easy to get along with, and the cooperation with father in the past was also very pleasant, wasn't it?
Oh, except for the milkshake that nearly sent all the kids away from Hearth House.
"Well……"
The little girl, Krevy, stood beside Liu Bai and tilted her head as she looked at Alechino opposite her.
After a while her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ah, Pepe! You are Pepe, right? How come you have grown up!"
Then Krevy pointed at Alechino and spoke excitedly.
“…Pepe?!”
Linny and the others subconsciously let out a small cry of surprise.
Is this intimate-sounding name for Father...?
"...Long time no see, Krevy."
Alechino was silent for a moment, then responded to Krevy.
She actually knew about Krevy's existence a long time ago, and there was almost nothing in the Hearth House that could be hidden from her.
But she was always looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to tell Krevy, to prove to her that the current "home" was different from before and was no longer as cruel.
To this end she allowed the children of Hearth House to come into contact with it.
She hopes that when the time is right in the future, she can leave with peace of mind.
"Eh……?"
After hearing what Alechino said, the children of Hearth House, including Linnet, Femini, and several others who had come into contact with Krevy, were somewhat surprised. They didn't expect that their father had already known about it...
"It's so lively. What happened here? What are you doing with a weapon?"
At this time, Nashida also came out from behind, looked at Liu Bai who was holding a weapon and asked.
But before Liu Bai could speak, she had already noticed Krevi beside Liu Bai.
Nashida thought of something and looked at Liu Bai with her hands on her chest.
"Ahem, come here quickly, girl, it's dangerous over there..."
Seeing Nashida's actions, Liu Bai coughed lightly and waved to her carefully.
"I think Mr. Lerch has some misunderstandings about me."
"Krevy, let's find a quiet place to talk."
Feeling that Liu Bai was on guard against him, Alechino had no choice but to say something to Krevi beside him.
"Oh, I understand. I need to speak quietly so that mother won't find out."
Krevy nodded repeatedly, then raised her hands to cover her mouth and carefully observed her surroundings.
Although there were a lot of people, she didn't see the most dangerous ones.
"Pepe, come with me. I know a very safe place."
After making sure the surroundings were safe, Krevy waved to Alechino and walked to the side first.
"Kids, go back to your work. You don't need to get involved in this matter."
When Alechino saw Krevi leaving, he turned his head and gave an order to Lini and the others behind him.
Since she had already met with Krevy in advance, she had no choice but to give up her original plan.
"Let's go."
Nashida walked up to Liu Bai and said to her that she could see that the little girl named Krevi seemed a little special.
"Okay girl."
"Would you like a milkshake, by the way?"
Liu Bai put away his lightsaber, then took out a new bottle of milkshake from Xiaobai's house and said to Nashida.
"Hey, why do you have it again? I don't want it!"
Nashida shrank her neck in disgust and quickly raised her hands to cover herself. She still couldn't forget the smell.
If the sweet date palm honey could make her brain work rapidly, then the horrible-tasting milkshake would make her brain jingle and clatter like a machine with missing parts.
"Why? Didn't you say it was very nutritious?"
Liu Bai looked at Nashida in confusion.
"…How should I put it? For example, you wouldn't give vegetable juice to a dog, would you?"
Nashida thought for a moment and explained that although it was nutritious, it was not suitable for everyone to drink.
Seeing that Nashida didn't want to drink, Liu Bai didn't want to force it on her, so he could only follow Alechino and Crevie with Nashida.
"Ding ding, host, good news!"
At this moment, the voice of the system that had disappeared for many days sounded again in Liu Bai's mind.
"Good news? What good news could there be?"
Liu Bai asked doubtfully.
"Ding ding, this system is back from the Tea Art Academy!"
The system said proudly in Liu Bai's mind.
“…Isn’t this bad news?!”
Liu Bai was startled.
The memory of the date with Nashida was quite vivid in his mind. Apart from being in bed with Nashida, the most impressive thing was the way the system spoke.
"Ding ding, it's good news, because this system blew it up!"
"Although it was made by this system, it's still very satisfying to explode!"
"But from now on, matcha items will no longer be available in this system's rewards."
