The night passes and the sun rises as usual.
As if nothing had happened, people were still working and living normally, completely forgetting the huge disaster that befell yesterday...
It would be better to say that they are extremely tired of repeating the never-ending work and study day after day. In fact, deep down in their hearts, they are longing for such a development. ——"When you are tired, destroy it", this idea is definitely not only thought by a few people.
In the morning, Gu Mo came to the door very calmly, ready to take care of his other tenant.
Emilia just needs to wait patiently now. As long as the world on her side can continue to maintain contact, teammates will come to give her support... Without the ability to convert energy through emotions, she can probably only act like the original As the plot goes, we fight by taking blue medicine.
Holy vitamin beta…
That's probably the name.
Knowing that the brave man was stranded on the earth and could not replenish the holy magic energy in his daily life, his reliable companions were in the world of Ant Insura, processing the holy magic energy for a second time and disguising it as the earth. A health drink beside you so that brave men can carry it with them to replenish energy at any time without making people feel strange.
The brain circuit is quite flexible, Gu Mo thinks this is a good solution.
In this case, Emilia can let it go for the time being, and he is going to care about the Demon King on the other side first... Of course, he doesn't really care about Maou Sadao's health condition when he comes to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. I just want to strike while the iron is hot and study the other party's extraordinary qualities.
The weather was clear and the sun was shining.
There were no clouds in the clear sky, and the dust in the air seemed to be filled with a sense of leisure.
It's just that in that old apartment building, it didn't seem so quiet. Instead, there were bursts of noisy sounds early on, like cooking and cleaning, more like a combination of the two. , coupled with the constant voices mixed in...
Invisibly, it gives people a feeling of urgency and busyness.
How should I put it? It's very similar to those families who start ping-pong-pong and tossing around early in the morning. Naturally, the chickens are flying and the house is restless... If it weren't for the fact that there were only two young men talking inside, there would be a little more " Elements such as "child crying", "husband scolding", "wife yelling" would be right.
What a classic example of a sad family!
"Huh? Is this...internal strife?"
Gu Mo, who was standing outside the door, raised his eyebrows and listened carefully to the sounds inside.
Ashiya Shiro's sigh and helplessness, and Maou Sadao's irritation. The two seemed to be arguing about something. At first glance, it sounded like a fierce conflict of opinions between the Demon King and the Demon Grand Marshal. If you listen carefully, you will find that the topics they are arguing fiercely are not those...
emmmmm……
It is not a proposition to conquer the world or ravage the continent. There is neither a proposal to kill Ant Insula nor a proposal to conquer the earth...
Instead, it is mainly entangled in the issue of financial pressure, and the discussions derived from it...
…………
"...I don't mean to offend, Lord Demon King, but our expenses this month have exceeded the standard. If we continue like this, we won't even be able to pay the rent. We still owe the landlord last month's rent. Until now, We haven’t handed it over yet. If we are kicked out, it will be difficult to find such a house..."
Ashiya Shiro's voice came out helplessly, like those of those military advisors who earnestly admonish the lord who insists on going his own way.
"I know! I know! But it's not that bad! This is a necessary investment. I haven't eaten breakfast during this period. What else do you want from me?" Maou Sadao's tone was a little angry, " Just such a small amount of money can greatly increase our chances of winning..."
"This is not a small amount of money, Lord Demon King. We are all people with no work experience. We can only do some simple jobs. We don't have much income...and I don't work. Now you are the only one working at McDonald's. Really?" It’s already very difficult…”
Ashiya Shiro's tone was full of embarrassment: "Either, or I..."
"No! You don't need to do this! Just follow the previous plan. You just need to study the special situation of this world and find out how to restore our magic power as soon as possible!" Maou Sadao did not wait for his capable men. After speaking, he interrupted his words with a decisive tone.
"I'm already working hard, but this can't be completed in a short time, Lord Demon King... And didn't you briefly recover your magic power yesterday? Can we use that method..."
"..."
"..."
"I'm not sure yet, let's take a look first..." Maou Sadao was silent for a moment and did not answer directly, but said this in a coquettish way.
…………
That's probably it.
Gu Mo couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
It seemed that Maou Sadao wanted to use an unexpected amount of funds to do something, but Ashiya Shiro was opposed to this, and explained the recent income and expenditure, which seemed to be a tactful advice to the Demon King. , you need to have some skills in this aspect...
The latter was naturally irritated by this, and couldn't help but argue... It was very magical, with a super magical realism style.
After all, two powerful demons who once had the wind and rain in a different world are now serious about calculating the gains and losses of thousands and hundreds of dollars in the early morning. This scene is particularly magical. No one can deny this.
Gu Mo couldn't help but sigh. He sincerely praised that the earth is really a big dye vat——
Especially under the social pressure of money and involution, friends from other worlds, whether they are angels or demons, are tortured until they become neither humans nor ghosts.
While thinking about it, he reached out and knocked gently on the door in front of him.
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
The sounds inside disappeared immediately, and after a moment, footsteps were heard.
"Come on, come on..." Ashiya Shiro, who was tall and gentle in appearance and could have been a male model or a cowherd, opened the door wearing an apron.
He habitually showed a business smile, thinking that it was those door-to-door salesmen or something. Although he was helpless about this, he was reduced to this situation and it was hard to show off, even if he didn't intend to talk to him. Everyone should have a good relationship, and at least they should not offend others casually.
"Hello, we don't have many electrical appliances at home, and we don't need...need..."
After habitually speaking the first half of a sentence, Ashiya Shiro's words suddenly stopped. Looking at the smiling young man outside the door, his childish eyes shrank violently.
"...!
"
fear!
Extreme fear.
His heart was pounding. It took Shiro Ashiya almost with great perseverance to suppress the impulse and prevent his teeth from chattering... Despite this, he still felt cold all over, and fear was in his limbs. It spreads through the body, transporting the cold feeling to every cell along with the flow of blood.
It had been a long time since he had tasted the taste of fear. He didn't know how long it had been. Ever since he became the great devil, he had never felt this kind of fear or uneasiness.
No matter when I faced off against the Demon King...
Or maybe when the brave man is cornered...
——He was neither afraid nor flinching.
However, now, Ashiya Shiro felt as if his facial muscles were going stiff, and his arms were shaking slightly unconsciously. For the first time, he felt that he could not face what was coming next... The next moment, he was most afraid and terrified. As a matter of course, things happened as scheduled.
The young man opposite looked at Ashiya Shiro gently and showed a rather kind smile:
"Mr. Ashiya is in good spirits..."
"Today is the day to collect rent. I'll come over and tell you."
…………
…
Probably because of the same huge consumption yesterday, Maou Sadao did not go to work today, but took a day off.
Prepare to have a good rest at home...
This was his original plan, but now, he would rather he had not had such a choice. He would have gotten up and gone to work if he had known better... Now when the landlord comes to the door, he really feels that his scalp is numb, his whole body is unnatural, and his whole body is on pins and needles. .
At this moment, Maou Sadao deeply realized why Ashiya was so insistent just now...
"It seems you are not having a good time either..."
Gu Mo sat across from him, looking at the two honest men who didn't dare to breathe, for fear that he would be kicked out because they couldn't pay the rent. Although he felt funny in his heart, he was calm and calm on the surface. Act like you're kind and understanding.
"Then let's give it a little more grace. There's no need to worry about this..." He nodded and said with a smile.
The words he spoke also made the two big demons on the opposite side breathe a sigh of relief and feel their hearts drop to the ground.
"Thank you! Thank you so much..." Ashiya Shiro couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead. If he really had to pay the rent today, he and the Demon King would have to suffer from the northwest wind for the next month. .
"It's been a big help, Mr. Landlady..." Maou Sadao was also deeply moved. From the bottom of his heart, he felt that Mr. Landlady was really a good person.
It's not in vain that I worked so hard yesterday...
only--
Seeing the unpromising performance of the two big demons on the opposite side, Gu Mo had a hard time resisting the urge to complain. These two guys had no choice but to do sneaky things in the early stage. In the later stage, they became less and less like that. The characters of the villains are all very honest and trustworthy.
What a shame to the devil...
He hid the look in his eyes and said with a smile: "You don't have to be like this, I can understand it. You are in a difficult time now..." As he said that, he let the mind force field quietly envelope the entire old apartment building, surrounding it. All changes are in your own hands.
Ashiya Shiro didn't have much magic power left.
The magic power that Maou Sadao recovered yesterday was completely used up when dealing with the aftermath, so there is nothing special about the two of them at the moment.
In addition, his movements were very gentle, and his control of power was so exquisite that the two fallen demons felt nothing at all. They were still moved, and their emotions were also immersed in the feeling of surviving the disaster. My feelings are full of happiness that I don’t have to be kicked out.
