The experimental weirdo in the breeding house is already eager to extend his claws to the ignorant pets.
Outside this bustling breeding house, the residents of District 13 are running their lives diligently.
The rise of breeders has given a shot in the arm to the commercial development of this area, and it has also allowed merchants who had been muddle-headed to regain their entrepreneurial spirit, and even spontaneously organized small-scale chambers of commerce on a street basis.
Today is the day when one of the chambers of commerce holds its first collective meeting.
Fiona, who ran the shop on behalf of her father, was packing her things and said to her friend who was waiting next to her.
"Business in District 13 is very good now. To put it bluntly, it's like picking up money on the ground. None of those people who come all the way to buy magic pets are stingy, and they just slip a little bit between their fingers. When we come out, it’s enough for us to live on.”
"I think you might as well go back to work, save money, and open a small shop of your own. It won't be as hard as it is now, and your income will be higher."
Dilys was noncommittal.
Fiona also saw that she would not listen to her and sighed.
"What are you going to do next?"
"Go play the game!"
Dilis changed her silence and responded positively.
"They said that other regions will also hold magic pet competitions. The prize money is very generous, and the round trip expenses of the contestants are also covered. I have done the math. Even if I can only get the lowest prize money, I can still earn a lot..."
Fiona interrupted.
"You used your previous bonus to buy a Shadow Doll. You don't have much money left now, right? Have you ever thought about what you would do if you don't get the bonus this time?"
"Then don't talk about it until you get it."
Dilis leaned back, her lazy posture and the hawk-beaked cat on her lap were almost carved out of the same mold. Both of them exuded the aura of "one day at a time". , which gave Fiona a huge headache.
"Don't worry, you'll get through life."
“Worrying about this and that all day long will only accomplish nothing in the end.”
"It doesn't matter what the outcome is, let's do it first. Anyway, when I embarked on this road, I had nothing to gain and nothing to gain. I made everything I got."
Fiona stopped what she was doing and turned to look at her.
"If you only use your magic pet to play in competitions, then you will always be just a 'powerful ordinary person'. You will not be able to obtain professional certification, nor will you become an officially certified professional. Do you know this, right?"
Dilis nodded to make it clear.
"It will take a long time to learn how to breed familiars. Can you still calm down and read a book and study now?"
Dilis knew what she wanted to say and disagreed: "Without the magic pet, not only would I not be able to become a professional, I would not even be qualified to contact this circle. I would have to be an 'ordinary person' for the rest of my life, which would still be 'less than that'. Great ordinary people'."
Unlike now, although she doesn't have that name, except for that piece of paper, how is she inferior to a serious professional?
"And I heard that the breeding house is researching special breeding pets for exams. Maybe in the future... the time cost of breeding will be reduced, and I will have a chance to pass the exam?"
"Really? Where did you get the news? Did you hear it from your neighbor's sister's fiancé's aunt?"
Dilis chuckled, and before she answered, she heard the sound of wind chimes coming from the door.
——We have guests.
Fiona also looked over and greeted.
"Sir, do you need anything?"
The visitor slowly walked into the house.
Along with his movements, like top-quality gems, crystal clear and dazzling blood-colored eyes appeared in front of the two people.
So beautiful...as if it were fake.
Fiona was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but reflect on why she thought so.
Fortunately, he didn't do anything rude, otherwise he would have caused a lot of trouble if he offended this young master who seemed to have extraordinary blood.
As soon as she adjusted her mentality, the person in front of her handed over an agreement. Fiona had a good memory. She glanced at the key words and quickly thought of the other party's identity.
"I ordered something here before and the delivery date arrived a few days ago."
That's nice to say, but isn't it because I'm late?
After slandering, Fiona said with a normal expression.
"Yes, I have the impression that you previously paid full payment for something from us."
"The things are ready. Can you take them away today?"
The man nodded slightly.
"Some things have been delayed, keeping you waiting for a long time."
"It doesn't matter. Serving the guests is what we should do."
Fiona said a few words and then trotted into the warehouse.
Dilis stood idle outside as a vase. Unexpectedly, the man who seemed very unapproachable actually took the initiative to talk to her.
"Is this an eagle-winged cat?"
Dilis nodded vaguely, thinking of saying something to deal with it, but she felt that the demon pet in her arms, which was originally a soft ball, suddenly tightened its muscles, showing a standard vigilant posture.
She frowned slightly, and her heart lifted slightly.
Something is wrong.
Eagle-billed cats don’t react like this for no reason.
this person……
"Sir, these are the items you customized. Please take stock of them."
Just when Dilis was nervous, Fiona's voice suddenly broke in, interrupting the delicate atmosphere in the store.
Carrying a box of items, she came to the counter and nodded to the man.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
The strange man returned to normal instantly. He carefully checked the contents of the box, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he nodded with satisfaction.
"no problem."
With this response, even if the transaction was settled, he turned around and quickly left the store without stopping.
Dilis watched him leave until she could no longer see the man, then she looked back suspiciously, feeling a little confused.
strangeness.
Too strange.
When did such a strange person come to District 13?
She wasn't feeling well, but she couldn't tell where she felt uncomfortable. After struggling for a long time, she could only treat it as her own misunderstanding and buried it deep in the corner of her heart.
But after this experience, she no longer had the desire to continue chatting, and went straight to Fiona to say goodbye to her.
"I'll be ready to leave in a few days. I may be quite busy then and I probably won't have time to come see you again."
"Don't worry, I will take care of myself."
Fiona knew that she couldn't persuade this stubborn donkey, so she paused for a moment and continued.
"Well, good luck to you, our rising star."
"The same to you."
Finally hugging each other, the two waved goodbye and ran off on different paths.
Under the setting sun, one person is drifting away while the other person remains in the same place. This scene seems to have the feeling of a fateful moment, and the only onlooker can't help but sigh.
"What a...beautiful and innocent feeling."
The man sighed in a subtle tone, then picked up the things in his hands and disappeared into the surging mist.
