Chapter 25: What kind of development is this?
Youre the new blood that the four-eyes was talking about? The eyes of the white-dressed loli carried traces of disdain. After sizing the newbie up she gave him an overall assessment. You really give a whole new meaning to poverty.
Im incapable of refuting her words in every sense.
The edge of Ji Bais mouth twitched. Just as when he wanted to ask Lin Tuo on the line something he realized that he had hung up the call a moment ago.
Your bodys constitution is actually pretty good~. She said as her eyes stopped for a moment on Ji Bais thin sweatshirt the loli then nodded her head and revealed an approving gaze.
Follow me~ The loli didnt waste her words. After she motioned to Ji Bai she began to head towards an old shabby building outside the bus stop called Starlux Building.
?? Didnt she say we were going to one of the orders branches? Why are we heading towards this decrepit building?
However no one was around to explain the doubts that Ji Bai was having. The loli in particular who was trotting ahead continued on with no intention at all to erase his uncertainties.
There were already quite a few issues with this chivalric order. Why would they assign a seemingly young twelve-year-old girl to be his contact? Even if he placed aside many of the questions in his head the impression that this small girl had given him was quite peculiar; It was like a vodka being the go-to beverage of fat otakus1. Her appearance was a complete mismatch for her personality this had obviously made him feel that there was so much more to her than what meets the eye.
However sadly reality didnt give Ji Bai any time to think. Just when Ji Bais thoughts began to wander slightly he suddenly came back to his senses just to realize that he only had a small black dot left of her silhouette in his vision. If he didnt catch up to her quickly he would probably lose her trail.
After looking at the sweet in his palm Ji Bai quickened his pace and went after her. In all reality the speed at which the girl moved her feet wasnt fast because of her size the distance she took for each step was very small it was like she was going for a stroll. And yet Ji Bai was utterly baffled; The distance between them felt as if it was widening even when he moved with the speed of an adult.
Feeling bewildered; Ji Bai quickened his pace even more. Moving his feet at a speed that was practically running he eventually managed to get close to her.
Say What are we doing entering this department? Is it possible that this so-called branch your chivalric order is built underneath this building? Maybe at the negative 100th floor or something? Ji Bai who had spent a large amount of effort to finally catch up to the girl tossed out his doubts.
Youve watched too many Science Fiction films havent you Uncle? The girl replied without ever as much turning her head.
U-Uncle? Come on be honest here am I really that old? The edges of Ji Bais mouth twitched. He felt that he would lose a few years of his life out of anger if he were to exchange a few more sentences with this loli.
Right! Whats your name? We have met each other for almost a minute now and you havent introduced yourself.
Milan. The girl replied indifferently in a half-hearted tone.
Oh speaking of which do you want
Youre very noisy. Were just strangers arent we? Milans voice carried a trace of impatience as she knitted her eyebrow and stared at Ji Bai.
Erm I was only just wondering whether or not you wanted this candy. Its of no use to me even if I hold onto it. Ji Bai opened his palm revealing the sweet that was in his hand.
This sort of wrapped candy sells for less than 30 fens a piece. Im quite afraid that it will give me diarrhea if I eat it. However what awaited Ji Bai was an extremely scornful look from Milan. Moreover almost as if she had thought of something she slipped into a daze the very next moment.
This candy of yoursdid you get it from a sliver-haired girl wearing worn-out clothes? Milan suspiciously asked.
Ehhh? How did you know? Ji Bai was shocked as he asked instantly.
Pfft! HahahahaYou You actually bought it?! Milan who always had a cold expression over her face unexpectedly let out an eruption of a loud and hearty laughter. Whats more she was doing it without caring about her image in the slightest all the while pointing her finger at Ji Bais hand.
What are you laughing at? Ji Bai suddenly felt somewhat at a loss.
PfftIt Its nothing~ Speaking of which how much money did you spend to buy this candy~? Milan stopped her laughter and forced out a serious look as she asked this.
No idea I dont really know.
That means a lot?
I guess.
PfftI take back the words I said earlier. Youre really a tycoon a true tycoon! If there were more people of your type around in this world there would definitely be a very big market for the badger game.
Are you trying to say I was scammed?? Ji Bai was slightly shocked. He recalled that the poor girl was shivering in the cold wind he just couldnt simply believe that it was all a front.
Oh well~ Forget it. You will probably understand more in the future. Follow me for now. After laughing Mi Lans expression returned to normal. After she motioned for Ji Bai to follow her she pushed open the glass door of the building and entered.
The shabby building was quite very desolate at the moment. Inside showed the cracked walls as well as its old fashioned floor tiles it clearly hinted that it had been a long time since someone was responsible for managing it. A gust of cold wind blew past as it swept around some of the bits of waste paper scattered around the floor.
Under this type of weather even people that relied on collecting waste papers would all be unwilling to go out right? Then again Im quite sure that there are some beggars at this era that have more money than me.
So What did Milan bring me here for?
Follow me and enter. Without answering any of the questions in his mind Mi Lan brought Ji Bai to the toilet. There was only one toilet on every floor and the door plate of this particular toilet had already dropped off a long time ago.
?! My god! This is Ji Bai was suddenly astonished as his gaze flitted between the doors of the toilet and Milan.
Dang! Shes bringing me into a toilet! Is that kind of development going to happen next? Could this possibly be
