231 Octopus

The rain in Tobesque is much gentler than the rain in the harbour city. The rain that lasted all day has greatly weakened the polluting fog that shrouded the city, while also refreshing the city's air.

Summer is a sultry season, but when I travel in the summer rain, I can't feel any heat at all, and I can't feel the excessive humidity in the rain in Lengshuigang City.

When Shade knocked on the downstairs door of Miss Luysha's rental apartment, holding a paper bag and an umbrella, the rainwater hit the umbrella surface in a series from the rain eaves, and the landlady who opened the door. Looking a little upset,

It's not that the tenant's guests are not welcome, but that Shade is blaming Shade for the second time today. The people who live here are all women, and the landlady does not welcome men to visit often, which is also a requirement in the rental contract.

And Miss Luysha was even more surprised when she saw Shade. She was wearing the same dress she wore in the morning. It seems that due to the weather, she did not go out today:
"Shade, haven't you left yet? Is there anything else to tell?"

"No no, it's not that I didn't leave, I'm already back here. Look, a souvenir for you."

When he reached the living room on the third floor, he handed over the freshly dead fish in a paper bag, which smelled very fishy.

“Meow~”

In the sound, the cat that was standing on the windowsill rushed over. But Mia didn't want to pounce on the unlucky fish. It jumped from the window sill to the chair, jumped from the chair to the table, and then hugged Shade's arm by the height of the table, and didn't let go of its claws at all.

"Meow~" several times in a voice that seemed aggrieved, for fear that Shade would drop it again.

"It was lying on the window sill almost all afternoon, looking at the street outside the window."

Miss Luyesha said with a smile, and then looked towards that line in disgust. Fish:

"Shade, why do you think I've mastered the art of handling fish? I'd never do anything like that. But this fish looks good, you caught it yourself? "

After asking, he looked at the fish suspiciously:

"But it's very fresh, and it seems to be a sea fish. Where have you been?"

"Well, this is a very long story, please allow me to keep it a secret for now."

In fact, I don't want to reveal the secret of my house for the time being:
"I'm really tired today, so I came to pick it up. Mia, we have to eat when we go back. Miss Luisa, thank you very much for taking care of this cat, I hope it doesn't cause you any trouble."

"This cat is very well-behaved, but you still Haven't you eaten yet?"

Goldilocks asked concernedly, standing up from the sofa:
"Since you got a big fish, why don't you eat fish together, just as your cat and I are also Haven't eaten yet."

"You can't handle fish, don't you? Oh, neither can I."

"So we went out to eat, I know a nice restaurant, Guests are allowed to bring their own ingredients. Also, I think your cat will like to eat fish too, but be careful not to get the thorns stuck in it.”

“Meow~”

Mia probably didn't hear what Goldilocks said. It was held in Shade's arms, squinting intently and rubbing her face against Shade's clothes.

“Speaking of which, I forgot to ask in the morning, how could you think of going out all of a sudden?”

Ms. Luyisa went into the bedroom to change clothes for going out, Shade sat down Not moving on the sofa. The two were talking through a door, but it was completely different from talking with Miss Galina through the door. Talking like this with the blond writer only made Shade feel close and trusting, and talking to the Great Demon woman who was not familiar with it at the time was just nervous.

"Reason for going out"

Shade thought for a while, but didn't say anything about going deep into the ruins and facing the silver-eyed person. This matter is very dangerous, and there is no need to involve Miss Luyisa. He touched the cat with the teacup in one hand and the other, and said to the closed door:

"It's just that you have a thought, you I also know that the ring warlock can sometimes produce wonderful inspiration, and I recently had the inspiration to travel far away.”

“It’s good to have inspiration, but you must also be careful of the traps that inspiration brings. , ring warlock"

She paused, and Shade's overly sensitive hearing made him hear the closet door being pulled open.

"Sometimes the inspiration for ring warlock comes not from what I think about, but from something that makes me think about it."

Miss Luyisa continued to stand across a door Passing on the experience, the tone is a little lazy:
"So, you must think carefully before doing things, but you can't be terrified and over-cautious because of this."

He heard the hangers in the closet colliding with each other. , heard footsteps, heard the sound of clothes being thrown on the bed, and then heard the sound of the skirt belt being unfastened.
The picture broke into my mind, and Shade blushed:
"Oh , Miss Luyisa, I'll borrow the bathroom, Mia's claws need to be washed, it has already printed two marks on my clothes."

"Yes. I remember its claws. Isn't it clean?"

Shade didn't answer, but walked quickly to the bathroom. The bathroom was a long way from Miss Luisa's bedroom, and Shade couldn't hear the sounds he shouldn't have heard.

The bathroom of the female writer's rented apartment is smaller than the bathroom of Shade's house. The steam pipe is not buried in the wall, but goes directly through the wall and clings on the wall to let the bathroom inside The area looks smaller.

There is a strong spice smell in the bathroom, it's not that the perfume has been knocked over here, because the Shade's bathroom actually has a similar smell. The sewer system of this era is not very perfect, so in order to prevent strange smells from appearing in the bathroom and spreading to the whole house, the poor use orange peels, and those with a little money will get some inferior spices and put them on the bathroom door. Or a sewer outlet to cover the smell.

He reached out and turned on the gas light, without looking around, he went straight to the sink. The middle of the metal frame is a bright mirror, and the tap under the mirror is brass, with a serial number branded on the side. Turning on the faucet again and again, the water first gurgled a few streams, and then flowed out of the faucet normally:
"When did my hearing become so good?"

Still blushing, he holds the cat in one hand and looks in the mirror, while the other hand sweeps back under the faucet, creating the sound of real water. .

[This should be Mystic Art - an unimportant feature of the echoes of the past, slightly improving your hearing level. Otherwise, how did you keep capturing footsteps in the middle of the city? ]

There was no one behind him in the mirror, but the voice still made Shade think that the woman was lying behind him, whispering in his ear.

He looked at the mirror and carefully touched his shoulder with his wet hands, but he didn't touch anything in or out of the mirror.

The woman chuckled in Shade's ear, as if to laugh at his behavior at this time:

[However, why were you blushing just now? ]

"What do you say I'm blushing?"

He asked back, looking at himself in the mirror who clearly looked like a Westerner, and waved at the mirror. Looking at the reflection in the mirror, I was also laughed at by my stupid behavior.

"Meow~"

Mia Cat noticed Shade's movements, wriggled in his elbows and stood up, then also waving her paws at the small orange cat in the mirror . After seeing the cat in the mirror also waving its claws, Mia cat made a threatening sound at "it".

Out-of-towners are not good at cooking, so most of the time they will find cheap restaurants around Sainteland Square.

The restaurant that Miss Luysha took Shade to this time was a so-called high-end restaurant. Fortunately, it wasn't very high-end, otherwise they would have to change clothes before entering.

The restaurant allows you to bring your own ingredients, and the chef knew very well that what Shade brought was a common West Coast fish called 'Olik'. Although already dead, it doesn't seem to have been dead for too long.

"Don't worry, you won't waste your fish."

Shade remembers Delarion's poor diet, so because of the chef's confidence, he worries about his next You'll see terrifying meals like "fish head pizza".

Unexpectedly, I ended up enjoying a very good fish soup and butter fried fish with Miss Lucy and Mia.

They were sitting at a table against the wall, where paintings of landscapes of lavender fields and windmills hung.

Miss Luyisa saw that Shade had something on her mind. During the meal, she tried to find out what he was doing, but in the end she was blocked by Shade. So, in the end, she just hinted that she could help with something, but Shade really didn't want to involve Miss Luysha in that trouble.

But overall the dinner was quite enjoyable. Miss Luysha talked about the recipes here happily, and Shade talked about the interesting story that she went to attend an academic report last Friday and ran into Professor Manning.

As for Mia, Shade didn't distribute the fish soup to her for the cat's health, but the chef at the restaurant specially isolated a piece of meat that had been shaved off the bone from the big fish. Cat Ya probably won't have time to pay attention to Shade until she finishes her meal.

If you bring your own ingredients, you have to pay for it, but Shade just put the tip under the plate when she left. Apart from this did not pay any other money, because Miss Luysha said that this meal will be remembered as before. on the account.

And when they were holding umbrellas in front of the rainy restaurant and Shade was going to send Goldilocks back to Quill Street, Miss Luisa said she didn't pay for the meal either:
"Lecia is a frequent visitor here. She often sneaks out to eat here, so it's good to put her on the account." . The gas street lamps were dimly lit in the rain, and the three full moons were also hidden behind the dark clouds. Judging from Miss Luyesha's indifferent tone, it was not the first time she had done this.

Her relationship with that Laccia Cavendish Princess, whom Shade hasn't met, looks really good.
