Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1372 1344. Return the property to its original owner

"Meow?"

Listening to the sound of the waves, in the secret cave at the bottom of the large reef at the base of Arethusa, the calico kitten, who was maintaining his own equipment, suddenly flapped his two small triangular ears on his head and expressed doubts. The cry.

It put down the maintenance oil in its hand and got down on all fours with its little paws.

He jogged and jumped down from the high platform that was a little higher up, where beds and display cabinets were placed, and landed on the small dock left when Lan En was still using magic ships to enter and exit.

There is not much light on the sea at night. There is a layer of clouds in the sky today, not even the moonlight and starlight can shine through.

The fishy smell of the sea comes with the moisture and the sound of waves hitting the rocks. The moisture was silently blocked by magic.

"Hey~" The kitten put its two little paws on its chest and sighed in distress, "Where will Qilin go today? Meow."

While complaining, Velvet Ball licked his little paws and scratched his ears with his paws.

But then, a sound completely different from the ordinary sound of waves came.

Different from the normal surge, it was the breaking sound of water being separated by rapid speed.

Hearing this voice, Linbuqiu immediately knew that he was not hallucinating, and that Qilin was indeed back.

but

After hearing the sound, the flannel ball took small steps to the side without changing his expression. Then a seemingly unintentional kitten shook its legs, and with a 'pop' sound, an ink bottle originally placed next to it fell from the shelf. It swung down and broke into pieces.

"Hey hey meow~"

The calico kitten smiled mischievously.

"It's time to take a shower and comb your hair if you step on it, meow!"

Generally, the evil smiles of animals can make people feel offended, but Elle Cat is just right. This little prank makes people feel uncomfortable.

But when Qilin's figure, which still shimmered in the cloudy night, appeared on the undulating sea, the evil smile on the calico kitten's face suddenly disappeared.

It was stunned for a moment, then raised its two little paws above its head, jumping up and waving excitedly.

"Hey~" The drawn-out voice matched the movements, "Here, here, meow!"

Qilin ran over quickly and came ashore from a familiar place as a habit.

The splashing hoofs made a 'snap' sound, just stepping on the flannel ball that the kitten kicked down with its legs and broke the ink stains. The pale mane flying on the hoofs was dyed a little darker as it swayed.

"Ha ha!"

Lan En turned over and hugged the flannel ball that jumped up.

His hand rubbed the furry cat's head, and the calico kitten also narrowed its eyes in comfort.

"This is my secret cave. Of course I know how to get there."

Lan En said while petting the cat.

"Hehe," Fluffy Ball smiled a little shyly, "I was a little excited, I forgot about meow!"

Qilin lowered his head to look at the ink stains on his hooves, lowered his head and put his nostrils close to the flannel ball in Lan En's arms, and blew out a stream of moist hot air.

"Whoops."

‘It’s dirty again. Please help me comb it with flannel ball. ’

"It's okay, meow!" However, Velvet Ball's little paws pushed Qilin's face away as if he didn't care at all, "It's just a little dirty, don't be so squeamish, meow!"

"Whoops?"

Qilin tilted his head in confusion, looking at the Elu cat who was combing its hair when it was a little dirty.

At this time, the flannel ball had climbed onto Lan En's shoulders skillfully and excitedly.

"Did you just come back today? You don't know at all, meow!"

"I was supposed to ask Qilin to tell you, but it forgot. It made a big fuss and ran over without even wearing the magic harness. The static electricity made my head big."

"Forgot?" The velvet ball was placed on Lan En's shoulder, and his big wet eyes looked down at his slightly frizzy silver hair, and then at Qilin, who looked indifferent.

"I can totally imagine it, nya."

Maria, who got off Qilin's back, pushed her hair down while staring blankly at the velvet ball on Lan En's shoulder.

Adeline's eyes sparkled with restraint but fondness.

"Did the cat talk?"

"It's El Cat, so it can talk, nya!"

The flannel ball stood up proudly on Lan En's shoulders, with its two little paws on its hips and a cute arrogance.

However, creatures like Elu cats cannot maintain their arrogance for long. They are warm and cheerful by nature, and it is difficult for them to be aloof.

But someone like the head chef of the New World Investigation Team who can always be aloof and majestic will look particularly handsome in their eyes.

"Are you guests from another world, meow? Don't be nervous, Kirin and I are the same, meow!"

Lan En picked up the flannel ball and placed it on the ground.

"They are my friends and they are people in need."

The witcher first briefly introduced Maria and Adeline to the flannel ball.

"I need help." Linbuqiu looked at the two ladies from Yanan thoughtfully, then got down on all fours and jumped towards the outside of the cave.

"Then I'm going to inform Margarita, meow!"

Lan En waved and shouted at its lively back.

"Thank you!"

After there was no one on his back, Qilin took care of himself and jumped from the small pier to the sea. He used his hooves to bring up the seawater and rushed to the pool of ink on the small pier, washing the dirty hooves by the way.

In fact, it feels that this is enough. After all, it is not a cologne that loves to be clean. However, the flannel ball always helped it clean up before, so it doesn't care.

Maria and Adeline are trying to adapt to everything.

Maria took a deep breath, and looked at the dark sea outside the cave with her blood-red eyes.

"If you build your residence here, you won't be worried about the furniture getting moldy?"

"And the ocean is fresh and clean. It's strange that when I stood so close to the ocean, I didn't feel the bottomless fear."

"Not all the deep layers of the world are inhabited by a group of weird high-dimensional creatures." Lan En walked to them and looked at the dark ocean with them. Although dark, it is natural.

"Your world is the minority."

It seemed that Lan En's actions gave them some psychological support. Maria's originally straight back and hunched shoulders relaxed slightly.

"So relax." Lan En extended his arm in time to invite with a smile.

"Come on, although this cave is wrapped in magic and moisture can't get in, Qilin has poured a lot of water on it. We can sit in the rest area above."

"Magic?" Maria whispered, and at the same time moved to follow Lan En.

But Adeline looked curiously at Qilin, who was rinsing his hooves, and at this invisible little dock that could block moisture.

"I" she looked up with some restraint at Lan En, who had already taken Maria up the steps for two steps, "can I take a look here again?"

"It's up to you, Adeline. But be careful." Lan En spread his hands, "The magic blocks the moisture, but it can't stop you from slipping and falling into the water."

"Hey, I'm not a kid anymore." Adeline curled her lips helplessly.

In fact, Lan was happy that Adeline had decided to leave Maria alone.

After all, Adeline seemed to regard the huntress as her backbone since she crossed the world because she was unfamiliar with the place.

Now that she can take the initiative to separate, at least it means that she is not as nervous as she was at the beginning.

Going up the stairs from the small pier to a height of nearly three meters is the rest area where beds and display cabinets are placed.

The magic here goes one step further and has the function of keeping warm.

Even if you live on a cold reef or in an open ocean view room, you won't feel stressed.

"Sit anywhere."

Lan En said as the master. At the same time, he also took off his hooded cloak and began to disassemble his armor.

The host's casual behavior will make the guests relax as well.

With Lan En's sensitivity and control over emotions, taking care of Adeline and Maria's emotions is just something that can be done easily.

And indeed it is.

Maria pulled out the matching chair on the small table in front of the display cabinet, and crossed her slender legs wearing high boots.

She took off the three-cornered hat with swan feathers on her head and placed it on the table. Her white hair, which was styled into a neat ponytail, fell down.

Cool and calm.

"These are what you gained during your journey?"

The large glass display cabinet with sliding door was originally used by Lan En to facilitate his memory and appreciation.

The function is similar to that of wealthy otakus’ handicraft cabinets.

So of course you can get an overview at a glance.

The flannel ball kitten's bag is placed next to the cabinet, which contains its various props, as well as weapons and armor.

Inside the cabinet, there are thread-bound books with very primitive paper and binding methods, huge and strong biological scales, and strange resin-like objects with Mars in them.

All kinds of strange things, large and small, have filled the two display cabinets side by side.

Maria admired Lan En's souvenirs from his journey.

Appraising the decorations and works of art in the host's home is even considered a science among the nobles.

Nobles who have received a qualified education should even show their unique artistic taste in the process, and use this as a conversation starter to start a conversation with the host without any awkward silence.

Maria doesn't like Cainhurst's homogeneous style, but now she just truly appreciates the colorful journey of Lan En.

But then, the blood noble's eyes froze.

Because in a large grid of the display cabinet, the doll placed in a curled up shape looked exactly like her.

"That's a souvenir made by Geman himself based on you." Lan En, who had already taken off his armor parts and was only wearing a silk shirt and breeches, sat on the bed and said as if he had expected it.

"You've seen her move in dreams, and this is what she really looks like."

Maria looked at the doll with a complicated expression.

But fortunately, as early as in Yanan, Lan En had already told her what Geman's situation was likely to be.

And she would not misunderstand her teacher. At this time, Maria still respected the [First Hunter].

"If you want to keep a souvenir." Lan En reached out his hand and said, "You can take it away, this is what it should be."

".Thanks."

After Maria was silent for a while, she agreed in a serious voice.

She neatly emptied the leather suitcase she was carrying, then carefully took out the doll from the display cabinet and put it into her leather suitcase in a curled up position.

After doing all this, she took a deep breath and sat back on the chair as if she had let go of something.

But just when she sat down again and wanted to thank Lan En more solemnly,

A white and delicate arm stretched out from the shadow of the stairwell at the exit of the cave and hugged Lan En's neck from behind.

The bed is really close to the stairs.

And then, just like the bright red nails on that hand, which were so beautiful and coquettish.

Mature and enchanting voices came at the same time.

"Ha, you've already arranged this doll? And changed its clothes?"

"Very well, I knew you liked having her watch us do it."

"."

The smile on Lan En's face suddenly felt a little unbearable.

And Maria was even more stunned.

".Um?!"
