After being shocked by Bai's mother's youthful appearance, An and Miku remembered that Heto also looked very young.
Maybe Bai's parents are the same, and their appearance is much younger than their actual age!
If you think about it this way, you can feel relieved.
Out of curiosity, An would not be stupid enough to ask her true age. He suppressed the surprise on his face and told the lady in front of him everything that had happened before.
"So I really missed Bai..." Bai's mother said dejectedly.
really?
Ann thought her choice of words was a little strange.
"Hehe, actually... I'm lost." Bai's mother smiled sheepishly in a tone that perfectly matched her appearance.
"……"*2
It sounds unreliable, but An and Miku only walked for more than an hour before meeting her, so this is the only reasonable explanation.
The two of them added a "confusion" to their impression of her.
I don’t know how many years I have lived in the royal capital and I still get lost. It’s really...
Their gazes made Bai's mother a little unbearable. She shifted her attention in a panic: "...What, my name is Saya, you are Bai's friends, you can call me whatever you want."
An didn't intend to dwell on it. He walked down the steps that Shaye found and introduced himself. Miku followed closely behind.
"You are Miku and An. Bai's letter spoke particularly highly of you two..." Speaking of Bai, Saya returned to her excited look and chattered endlessly.
If she was allowed to go on like this, it might drag on until night. An quickly said: "Aunt Shaye, let's go back quickly. Sister Bai and Uncle Hutto are looking for you."
Saya, who was in the middle of talking, was interrupted and blinked blankly at first, then realized: "Oh, yes, yes, you can't let Bai look for me everywhere!"
Has Uncle Hutto just been forgotten by you?
An is ashamed.
"You must be tired after coming all the way to the capital, and I'm really sorry for bothering you to come out to find me." After Shaye finished speaking guiltily, he changed the subject and said through gritted teeth, "That useless guy ! Won’t you come out on your own?! And you’re bothering the children and guests!”
Ah, this...
After experiencing the whole situation, An really didn't know what to say.
From Shaye's words, it can be clearly analyzed that Uncle Heto's family brotherhood... Well, the relationship between the couple is indeed real.
Ann wiped away the non-existent sweat.
The sky is gradually turning to dusk, it is best to go home before dark.
An took out a small black square from his pocket. It felt like metal, but it was so light that you could hardly feel it. The cube has a small raised button on one side.
After dividing the road, Shirley handed him this thing and said that when he found the person, he would press the button on it and then throw it as high as possible.
Anna took a quick look at it and couldn't tell what it was or how it worked, so she could only do what Shirley said.
Press the button and throw it directly upwards. The small square drew a straight line and flew above the surrounding buildings. It suddenly accelerated and rose a little higher, and then exploded, making a sound like fireworks.
An and Miku were startled at the same time. Setting off fireworks in such a crowded place was no joke. It could easily arouse people's dissatisfaction and even lead to questioning by the sheriff.
Then they noticed that after the small cube exploded, there were no debris falling down like fireworks. The explosion was mixed with a sound like the collision of porcelain.
Residents living nearby and people walking on the street just looked up and made no other moves.
However, the soldiers from the previous group came over, and the leading captain's face lost the previous irritability, and even asked cautiously: "Is it you who sent the signal?"
He seemed to be trying to distinguish the faces of the three people.
Several doubts were piled up together. An was confused for a moment, and Miku was even more confused and didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, this is not a signal for you to gather. It is a signal from us to our companions." At the critical moment, Shaye said calmly.
"It's Mrs. Shaye!" The captain's expression immediately became much more relaxed, but there was still respect on his face, "I thought the superiors found out that we didn't catch anyone and wanted to reprimand... If not, then I won't bother you. , I wish you three a good time!"
Shaye nodded with a smile and watched the soldiers leave in a hurry.
"That is a signal box, which only circulates in the aristocratic circle of the royal capital. It is often used as a gathering signal. The walking paths of the royal capital are relatively complicated, so the frequency of use of this thing is not particularly low." Saya explained, "Different families The signal box used will have different sound processing, and it seems that the one we have is somewhat similar to the one used by the commander of the soldier team...or perhaps the captain's sense of sound is not very good."
Seemingly amused by the last witticism, Saya lightly covered her mouth. The noble lady's temperament was naturally revealed. Combined with her already outstanding figure and appearance, she attracted the attention of many male creatures.
Screams could still be faintly heard.
An came back to her senses and was a little surprised.
This thing is so useful!
He became very interested in the structure of the signal box.
Be sure to check it out if you get the chance.
After using the signal box, the other routes probably knew that someone had been found on An's side, and they should all be heading back now.
Better hurry up.
An was about to ask Miku to go back, but saw her putting her hands on her chest, staring at a certain part of Saya, and puffing out her cheeks glumly.
After a second, An understood what was going on.
"Pfft-" He couldn't hold back and laughed.
Although the subsequent sound was controlled, Miku was still discovered by Miku who was in a sensitive state.
"Why are you laughing! Why are you laughing!"
Miku punched Ann's shoulder in shame.
Sha Ye analyzed the reason for the quarrel from the expressions of the two people, and immediately couldn't help laughing: "You are still young, don't worry, there is still a chance... Huhu——"
At the end she turned around, her shoulders shaking.
Being said so by the person he was jealous of, Miku blushed even more and used a little more force.
Although An didn't feel any pain or itching, she still managed to calm Miku down.
After all, I have to go back in a hurry.
Saya also apologized for her words.
But it was just a joke, and Miku couldn't hold a grudge against him, so he had to follow him obediently.
Probably because of this small episode, Saya became very interested in Miku and took the initiative to chat with her. With his superb conversation skills, Miku quickly put aside the resentment in his heart and eagerly told her about the theater troupe.
The two girls, who looked like they were the same age, but were actually an entire generation apart in age, chatted eagerly and walked without any delay.
Since it wouldn't affect the distance, An didn't say anything. She just felt that the relationship between them was unusually harmonious, and it didn't feel like it was the first time they met.
As expected of a member of the upper class.
Ann has some admiration for Saya.
"By the way, have you noticed which boy is closer to Bai Zuo?" The chat turned to this aspect unknowingly, and Shaye suddenly became energetic and said, "My daughter is now at this age, it is time to consider getting married. !”
Considering the identity of Shaye's mother, it's not surprising that she would be so eager, but the people listening to the question were a little dumbfounded.
There are only three boys in the troupe, Jerry, Hairen and An.
Ann doesn’t need to say more…
Kaito's words have recently revealed that he has a close relationship with Meiko.
As a handyman... ahem, an all-around player, Jerry cooperates more with Bai at work, but he doesn't seem to have that kind of meaning in his dialogue.
Moreover, as the team leader, Bai focused most of her energy on work. If she didn't take the initiative to intervene, she would be either working or preparing for work, and she didn't seem to want to fall in love at all.
Miku was immediately asked.
An couldn't explain the reason for a while, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear it.
Shaye obviously had no intention of letting anyone go: "An, do you have any thoughts about my daughter? I think you are pretty good! Bai also praised you a lot in the letter. You have reached such a high level in less than a year after joining the group. Achievements..."
Her words sounded like thunder in Miku and An's ears, so much so that they didn't hear anything she said afterward.
"Uh, no, I... didn't mean that..."
"He didn't... ah no, I mean he didn't... uh..."
The two of them said hesitantly one after another.
Miku's voice was a little lower than An's, so that he seemed not to be noticed.
Shaye gradually frowned, looked at An, and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "What? Do you look down on my daughter? Or do you think she is not worthy of you?!"
"No, no, I mean..."
Death question and answer, this is it!
Saya's words were definitely not to make An like Bai, but because the dialogue was too doting, which made her not believe that any boy would look down on her daughter! Hesitating and hesitating like this must not have good intentions in the eyes of my mother!
In fact, Bai's charm is indeed very great, but An...
The atmosphere was stiff for a while, and Shaye's stern face suddenly melted, and she turned to smile happily: "Sorry, I couldn't help but made a joke..."
Even though they were the ones being teased, An and Miku still breathed a sigh of relief.
Saya put her fingers on her lips and said pointedly: "I am still a little confident in my eyesight."
The two people who were alluded to stiffened again.
What was exchanged was someone's pleasant laughter.
