In this case, perhaps Natsumi is also deemed worthy of signing.
These easy words left Xion stunned.
"...Wait a minute. Did Natsumi say hello to you too?"
"Uh-huh."
"I never heard!"
Where has the leisurely atmosphere gone so far? Xion shouted with such momentum that Natsumi couldn't help but jump on her shoulders.
"...I don't think so. You won't sign the contract before the captain, right?"
"..."
"Did it? Did it, your reaction!"
Theon seemed to be aware of everything, her hair was not metaphorical but standing on end, and with Theon at the center, the impossible wind in the room shook the air.
"Theon! Calm down!"
"Didn't I say not to trust others rashly?"
"Because Theon sometimes runs off alone!"
"Calm down!"
Then, Theon's fist fell on his head.
"It's so unreasonable that I'm the only one getting beaten."
"This is normal behavior."
Theon rubbed his beaten head while showing a dissatisfied expression, but first of all, it would not be as windy as before. It seems that the head has calmed down.
"Then? Not only the captain, but you also heard the sound?"
"Well, they said they could help Theon..."
"Says he almost called me here."
"That's what I say... But speaking of it, if Xion hadn't been so random, I should be calmer."
"Ah, both. Let's not do that now."
When they were about to quarrel again, Lina stopped them.
Chunma, who was sitting next to Lina, looked a little embarrassed.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"...No, I just don't think I heard a sound."
As he said that, Chunma looked a little lonely.
"Aki, my brother, and Natsumi all have people looking for me, but I'm the only one who hasn't. Maybe it's because I'm not considered a good person."
"how come……"
Although I wanted to say no, in fact, among the three siblings, only Haruma did not hear it. Groundless comfort may make the other party even more hurt.
"...Actually, Baozhu may not like Brother Guangmu."
For the self-deprecating Halma, Xion did not comfort her, but seemed to confirm Halma's negative thoughts.
"Yes. People who are full of hatred for others will not be treated as good people."
"At least I don't think there's anything wrong with it."
Facing Halma who smiled slightly, Xion said calmly.
"Whether it's your hatred or your anger, it's evidence that you have strong feelings for your father, right? Of course, the captain and Natsumi can't say they don't have some ideas."
Of course Xiaojing and Natsumi cherish and like their father very much.
Still, the grief of losing my father didn't translate into hatred, simply because I'm not good at rationality or simply hating anyone. Even if there is a slight difference between two people, they may be like a spring horse, igniting hatred towards someone else.
It just happens that only Chunma is heading in this direction, and there is not much difference between the two.
"What are you talking about about good people and bad people? I hate this classification the most. And the standards of good and evil in the orb are so beautiful...it's simply creepy."
Xion shook his head deliberately to say he was disgusted, and then looked at Chunma, his eyes full of provocation.
"Or is someone's decision about good or evil so important?"
"...No, when you said that, I got angry instead."
"Right? What I'm saying is, it's useless to care."
Facing Xion who smiled heartily, Haruma's expression returned to cheerfulness.
At first, I thought she wanted to say something, but later I realized that it was to cheer up Chunma, and I couldn't help but smile.
"Well, I doubt it's really because of this."
"What?"
"Okay, okay, let's forget about this complicated topic. By the way, I haven't eaten anything since I got up."
As he said this, Xion reached into the refrigerator in the corner of the room, and a sandwich popped out and was stuffed into Xion's hand.
Coupled with the slightest wave of Theon's hand, cups and tea bags would fly out from all corners of the room and be placed on the table.
"It's morning for me, I should say lunch, and it's tea time for everyone."
"Oh, this isn't your room, is it?"
"I spent almost a week like this. It was like my own room."
Theon answered cheerfully while munching on the sandwich. Although Halma was a little surprised, she did not object to her proposal, and the lively afternoon tea time began.
Natsumi and the others made tea and coffee, and when they were about to drink it, Xion finished the sandwich alone.
"Well, not enough."
"You are too independent-minded..."
For a man who only got up at noon and only ate prepared sandwiches, this sentence was too willful, but Theon didn't care about Lina's surprised look and walked straight to the cardboard box in the corner of the room.
"Are these cookies today?"
Theon grabbed the biscuit tin that popped out of the carton and opened it on the table with satisfaction.
"Hey, is this my brother's room? Can you eat whatever you want?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I bought it in the first place."
"……Are you alright?"
Although it was said as a matter of course, after thinking about it calmly, I still didn't understand what it meant.
Seeing everyone except Theon tilting their heads, Theon, who was already eating cookies, pointed to the cardboard box in the corner of the room.
"The things inside are snacks that I used when discussing matters other than the contract with the captain... In short, they were bought to bribe me."
"The bribe is yours..."
“It’s impossible to anchor near big cities like in North America, and it’s troublesome for me to go out every time.”
Indeed, Xion's memory of asking for snacks from Ajit as a price for special assistance was still fresh in his mind, but I really didn't know that Ajit had prepared so much in a place that Natsumi and the others didn't know about.
"Speaking of which, is it okay for Xion to treat you like this? Although they are cookies from a high-end store, they are very cheap to buy..."
Although it is a cookie box from a high-end store, it is not that expensive.
Considering Theon's actual contribution, no matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense.
"Although it's not very cost-effective, there's nowhere to spend cash..."
"Even so, there are no snacks..."
Even Hjalmar was stunned, but he seemed to have no intention of asking Theon for anything else.
"To be honest, to me, this is more valuable than just taking cash or precious metals... Well, this is a common thing in the area."
"You mean the values are different from humans?"
"Yes, yes! It's better to say that outsiders have their own differences."
After listening to Lina's instructions, Xion nodded with satisfaction, slowly put his hand into his T-shirt and took out a rather large gem.
"This is a gem given to me by someone I met by chance... as a thank you gift for giving him a can of tuna."
"Canned tuna? Canned tuna...that canned tuna?"
"Calm down Lacey, you can probably use the canned tuna you're thinking of."
"How do I get the tuna can gem?"
"The other person is Nekomata - in short, someone other than a cat. It's just a small gold coin. I don't like gems or anything like that. If you are willing, just accept it."
Indeed, even if the cat had gems, it would not be of much use. To this cat, gems that are valuable to humans are nothing more than hard minerals.
"Well, that's what it is. To me, getting something sweet in this form is more satisfying than getting something botched."
"I know, I also like wine, not rice and small gold coins."
"What did you say……"
Beside Xion, who was munching on biscuits, a small figure appeared at some point.
He has gray hair and a pair of horns, and he eats cookies without any scruples.
"Wow!"
"Oh! Little girl, don't scream suddenly...it will scare you."
"You scared me, Zhu Yue."
The kid Zhu Yue said "This is delicious" without paying any attention to Xion's accusations while eating cookies.
She didn't care at all about Natsumi and the others' surprise when they appeared without any warning.
"...It seems that Theon has been added."
"I don't want you to be with this ghost."
"Kaka! Others say we look alike, don't we look alike?"
