Yearning for a Peaceful Life Chapter 4

This is probably retribution...

Lily looked at his hands silently and sighed in his heart.

Pressing and cutting Owen was silent for a long time, then hesitantly said, "I thought that I should be the one using my strength to pull you up?"

Then why do I feel like I was dragged down by you?

Lily laughed a few times, "Well...I just pulled it subconsciously. I didn't expect that I was so strong...even if I had lost in arm wrestling with others before?"

What kind of person are you wrestling with?... Owen was curious. Because Lily's force in pulling him down was definitely not something that could be easily overcome by using a little strength.

Lily blocked the sunlight with his hands, jumped on the spot, and soon gave up the idea of   climbing up by himself. She turned her gaze towards Owen with an aggrieved look on her face, as if the person who dug the hole was not sent by her at all.

Nikiri Owen sighed. After many rounds of fighting between heaven and man in his heart, he finally gave in. He silently bent down and said to Lily, "Please step on my shoulders and go up."

It is indeed an excellent master sword that puts the examiner first!

Lily was almost moved to tears! But, to be honest, she couldn't bear to step on it...

So, she lowered her voice and asked, "No...can't I use a hug?"

Press-cut Owen: ...

"It's the kind that you can hold around your waist and lift up."

Owen looked over quietly. His coal-gray hair was shrouded in the sunlight, and his wisteria-colored eyes were filled with hesitation and hesitation.

Lily always felt that in addition to still not wanting to have too close contact with the examiner, she seemed to have read something else from the gaze of Owen.

Lily, who had a vague guess, said tentatively, "Although I am strong, I am not very heavy... Not very heavy, right?"

Before Owen said anything, she was unsure.

After all, she had always thought that she was a weak and helpless little cutie... Whose cutie could drag Thomas Fu into the pit?

Thinking of this, Lily became more determined to be picked up by Owen.

As long as I can be picked up, I will still be as light as a swallow.

At this moment, Owen had more or less figured out the character of the new lord, and felt that he might not be able to convince him for a while, so he had to stand up with a sigh and said in a low voice, "Then, please forgive me." After "I'm sorry", he slowly opened his arms to Lily.

Then, he heard a hesitant voice above his head, "What are you... doing?"

... Lily and Kikiri Owen raised their heads at the same time. Thomas Fu, who was wearing a black windbreaker, stood with a backlight. A lot of nail polish on his fingertips had fallen off, and they should have been like gems. The eyes looked a little dim, not sure if it was because of the light.

That's California Clear Light.

Lily held his breath for a moment.

What should California Clear Light look like? The moment she saw Thomas Fu's face, she inevitably had such questions.

She loves to be coquettish but reliable, and can be a bit clingy at times. She always likes to dress herself up to be very cute, has a gentle and beautiful smile, and loves her master from the bottom of her heart.

At least it won't be as quiet and deep as it is now.

As a colleague who has worked together for a long time, Owen has long been accustomed to Kiyomitsu looking like this. He put down his hand and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's California. You came just in time to help pull the new master up." ?"

"New lord?" California Qingguang spat out these three words slowly. He stared at Lily for a while, then slowly squatted down and stretched out his hand towards Lily.

Lily was a little surprised that it went so smoothly.

She hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand upwards, hearing Owen's worried voice in her ears, "Please be careful and don't drag California down with you."

When...you said that, I actually wanted to give it a try! Wouldn't it be great to see three people in a pit looking up at the sky?

Lily couldn't help but started to move.

"With all due respect, this road is relatively remote and few people come here."

... Lily showed a regretful expression when her thoughts were revealed. She held California Qingguang's hand obediently, not daring to use any strength.

After climbing out of the pit, she immediately turned around and planned to pull Owen up as well. However, the pressure-cut Owen at the bottom of the pit seemed to be shocked.

"Why are you showing such an expression? I have the ability to pull you down, and of course I have the ability to pull you up!" Lily who said this looked confident, even raising his head high. chest.

Like a bird that gets carried away.

Owen couldn't tell how many times he had compromised today. It wasn't until he was pulled up and noticed California Qingguang's gaze resting on his ear that he suddenly remembered that there was still something on his ear. Pin a flower...

He obviously fell into the pit, but this flower is still there?

Thomas Fu, who faithfully carried out his lord's orders, avoided the sight of his colleagues without saying a word.

California Qingguang seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he just closed his eyes slightly and whispered, "I'm going back first."

"Please wait a moment!" Lily quickly stopped California Qingguang, "The nail polish on your hands has fallen off..."

Only then did California Qingguang react. He raised his hand slightly and looked at it, then nodded slowly, "I understand, I'll make up for it right now."

... The contrast with the California Qingguang in her memory was so great that her heart ached a little now.

Helpless, Lily patted the dirt on his body and said in a consultative tone, "How about I help you apply it?"

... California Qingguang looked at her steadily and did not answer.

Lily was not repelled by this silent atmosphere at all. Instead, he promoted himself enthusiastically, "I'm very good at painting my nails! I guarantee that I can paint them the way you want! Ah, this is a rare opportunity. Owen wants to Don't you want to come too?"

"Me...me?" Owen opened his eyes in surprise.

Lily smiled and nodded, "It will be some time before the expedition team returns, right?"

"If this is an order..."

After getting the consent of the pressure cutter Owen, Lily turned his attention to California Kiyomitsu. The silent Okita-gumi Hitachi didn't answer immediately, but calmly asked, "Who dug the pit here?"

Mentioning this, Ichigiri Owen also frowned slightly, "Indeed, it doesn't look like a naturally formed pothole. Fortunately, there are usually no people in this area. Otherwise, we will be in trouble. We need to find someone quickly to remove it." Just bury it in a hole."

Lily rolled his hair with his hands and echoed innocently, "Yes, otherwise it would be bad if someone else falls in."

But Owen, as if he suddenly thought of something, looked at her suspiciously.

Wow --- It's not going to fall over again. If it continues to fall over like this, this article should be renamed "The Judge of Gods is overturning every day."

No, no, I am confident based on my acting skills alone. It is absolutely impossible to be noticed.

So Lily opened his eyes wide and looked back at him blankly, "What's wrong? Owen-kun?"

"No, I'm probably overthinking it... Anyway, this trap still needs to be investigated, but it's getting late now, so let's go back to the conference room first."

The conference room and the department room where Thomas Fu lived were next to each other. California Qingguang, who had never agreed to Lily to paint his nails, hesitated in front of his department room for a few seconds and finally lost to Lai who was standing in front of his door. Lily, who was leaving, and Owen, who had to stay behind because of his responsibilities, slowly opened the door.

"I don't seem to have anything here to entertain you. I'm really sorry." Thomas Fu returned to the room and looked much gentler than when he was outside. He rummaged around the room for a long time, and finally managed to He took out a small plate of preserves from the closet.

"Please use it."

Lily smiled lightly. When she smiled, a small dimple would appear on her cheek, and her eyebrows would soften due to her smile.

"Thank you! Qingguang." Because a plate of preserves brought the two of them closer - to be precise, it was Lily's unilateral feeling that the distance between the two of them was narrowed.

After casually putting a candied fruit in his mouth, Lily raised his head and stared at him with shining eyes. California Qingguang sighed, and then took out a bottle of red nail polish from the cabinet.

Lily took it and looked at it, then opened the bottle and smelled it. He felt that this bottle of nail polish had been stored for many years. She raised the bottle in her hand with a subtle expression and waved it in front of California Qingguang's eyes, "Is there only...this bottle?"

California nodded silently.

The former examiner allowed him to wear nail polish just to cope with the annual inspection on whether Michael had abused knives. However, for California Kiyomitsu, this Michael, there is nothing that can make him want to become more cute.

Therefore, it’s okay to paint your nails when the staff from the Toki-no-Government arrives. It doesn’t matter even if the layers peel off later. It doesn’t matter even if the only bottle of nail polish has been used for a long, long time, but...

California Qingguang raised his head, hiding all his emotions in the depths of his eyes, and quietly stared at the troubled girl in front of him.

"Although I can use this, because I am very powerful! But...but, if it is used by Qingguang!"

The tiny hope in his heart turned into light in the girl's voice. California Qingguang held his breath and curled up his fingers.

"If it's for Qingguang, I should definitely use something better, with good color, quality, and smell. In short, because Qingguang is cute, I should use something cuter, right?"

Ah, that’s what you think.

He is the same type as the judge from Michael next door whom he met before.

In this case, I...

His swirling thoughts were interrupted by the figure of the girl who suddenly stood up. He raised his head slightly and looked at the lord who was holding nail polish in his hand. He seemed to have made up his mind and said with determination, "Let's go! Let's go." Now go to Wanwu!"

...ha?

Wait, you're obviously just going to Wanwu, why do you say it in such a tone as if you're going to die?
