After sending Jessica back to her apartment from the cafe, she returned to the tank base.
In the front yard, my brother was swinging a stick while Shure watched.
"Wonderful, wonderful! Wonderful, wonderful! Wonderful, wonderful!"
Watching him swing the stick wholeheartedly and twisting from time to time, I felt that his body was stronger than when he first came to the base.
I feel like my already hunched back has gotten a little bigger, but in our case it's basically hunched over.
As I watched my brother swing the stick as hard as he could, I felt like myself not long ago.
Thinking back to this time last year, Azika Village was covered in snow earlier than usual, and I was swinging the iron rod with all my heart.
"I didn't expect at the time that my brother, who had been lying at home, would swing a stick like this."
"I tend to skip training these days, so I'll have Shure help me starting tomorrow."
I tried to cross the edge of the front yard so as not to disturb my brother, but Shure came closer.
“A bit scary”
"Hua Wu Ming Liar"
"Nia this isn't cheating or anything like that uh this isn't shul's"
"The soap smells different than Leila's. Who are you hanging out with?"
"No, that is"
"You shouldn't be able to stay in the school dormitory, right? So, who is that person?"
"I'll keep quiet!"
In the feint of sliding past Shure who was slowly closing the distance, he jumped backwards diagonally and used the steps to escape upwards.
As Shure expected, this height was dangerous. Shure's fingers brushed the tip of his tail.
When I climbed to the roof of the base and looked back, Shure was panting and crossing his arms, while my brother shrugged in surprise.
No, I didn't date Schuler, and I don't remember signing an exclusive pillow contract.
"My brother's hair is getting better, so I want him to live the life he wants."
Think about it, my brother was very tired after eating the goblin's heart yesterday, but he was able to swing the stick like this, which was considered a rest.
Sure enough, Schuler did not regard his younger brother in that state as a toy.
After returning to my room through the skylight and changing my clothes, I cleared away the pile of clothes in the bathroom.
This time, I finished the cleaning with a front-loading washing machine with a stirring magic circle.
Wash with warm water and soap, then rinse thoroughly.
Only one section of the drum features separate drainage and water supply components, so rinsing is completed smoothly.
The finished product dries in a magical cycle of hot air.
"When I was doing laundry, I also collected my brother's clothes, but his clothes were all worn out."
"I don't get many compliments on my clothes."
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and my brother may start a new job next year, so it’s better to stock up on some clothes that are not embarrassing.
I called my brother during lunch and decided to go shopping for clothes in the afternoon.
"When I wanted to know where to go shopping, Schuler said he would accompany me."
"Rather than walking with the catkin brothers, you don't have to worry about getting entangled."
"Nia, Hua Wuming, please tell me to put it down"
"Sorry brother, it's very cold today, please forgive me, I'll take Cairo's place."
Shure held my brother in his arms on the way off the base to the market.
"Although he has the physique of a cat person, it's still awkward to be held by a woman."
"I've been in a lot of trouble so far, so I know how you feel."
"I understand, but I have no intention of replacing him."
Shure seemed to have something to show me when I got home in the morning and my brother seemed annoyed by the occasional rubbing of his cheeks.
"Yeah, this is a picture of an overprotective owner and a nasty-looking cat that I often saw in my previous life in China."
He struggled to avoid being laughed at by passers-by, but he seemed to give up halfway.
"I'm not smiling, I'm not smiling at all, so please don't look at me with such resentful eyes."
The shops on both sides of the street leading to the market are decorated and people are coming and going.
Unlike Chinese Christmas lights, they are decorated with brightly colored fabrics dyed in primary colors.
Unlike in China, you won't hear harsh commercial songs, but you can hear energetic sales voices coming from everywhere.
The voices of passers-by seemed to echo.
The city's squares and main streets are filled with stalls, creating a festive atmosphere.
During the departure ceremony, I remember going to the food stalls with Horacio and feeling very excited.
"Thief! He's a thief, catch him!"
Suddenly there was a voice on the street. When I turned around, I saw a giant bear-like man, covering his face with a scarf and running around with a bag on his back.
Behind that man, there was an old sheep man running around with a crying face.
Looking at the grabbing template that looked like a picture, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I spread my hands and blocked the path of the man running towards me.
"That's it, please stop quietly."
"You're in the way, Hua Wuming! Hahahaha."
The man pulled out a knife from his waist and hit him in the face with a natural shield, knocking him to the ground.
It looked like he was badly hurt, because he crashed into it at full speed, and when he lay down trying to get up, he had blood coming from his nose.
"But what is that?"
"Please be obedient and return the bag."
"Don't be stupid! Kill me quack quack!"
The snatcher stood up with a knife in one hand, so I used my natural magic to make a stick, and stabbed it into the groin, throat, and tail.
"Gah in front of you"
After all, it seems difficult to defeat the bearman who is physically superior to him simply by relying on the catman's physical attacks.
Finally, I used the lightning magic circle to suppress it.
"Thanks.
The old shepherd picked up the bag thrown by the bear man, held it in his arms and never let go, lowering his head like a grasshopper eating rice.
Just then an officer who heard the commotion rushed over and I explained the situation and decided to put the bear man in charge.
When I showed my guild card and introduced myself, the dogman official asked after comparing my face to the card twice.
"Maybe he's the one who caught the robber yesterday?"
"Yeah, it's the cake shop robbery."
"Every day is a credit, thank you everyone for your cooperation."
The dog man officer saluted me and let me go.
The old shepherd asked me to thank him for something, but I firmly refused and went back to buy things.
"Hua Wuming, you are amazing."
"Funun, of course, Hua Wuming is very talented."
"No, I don't know why Schuler would brag about that."
I told my brother and he was surprised that this was normal since he is a C-rank adventurer.
"Shul, can I do this too?"
"Haha, it depends on your motives."
Sensing something, he stared at his hands and clenched his fists.
"It doesn't look cool at all because she's being held like a princess by Shure."
I asked Schule to take me to a clothing store, but the first place I was taken was a women's clothing store.
"Fumia, isn't this a place only for women?"
"Since I'm going to teach Fox, I should at least give you some clothes as a gift."
"Mmmmm"
“A good man can give women some coordination advice”
"Gunununu"
In the end, although Shure persuaded him to enter the store, he was extremely incompatible with the catkin brothers.
"Hey, brother, don't try to hide behind me."
"Niya, Hua Wuming. Even if I'm waiting outside"
"Will my brother abandon me?"
"Nana, this is what I want to do"
"Giving up is also a test of life."
"It's serious"
As I walked through the store, I hid behind Schur and my brother hid behind me.
There are two types of looks from female customers, one is a look of contempt, the other is a look of disdain if there is an opportunity.
"Hey, since you want to flirt so much, don't discriminate against cat people."
If I had hidden behind Schuller, I would not have realized that I had entered forbidden territory.
"Welcome, what are you looking for?"
"Choose something a little flashy Hua Wu Ming."
"Myamyah! Take your pick, this is the lingerie department"
"Do your best, Hua Wuming."
"brother..."
After that, I was escorted to test drive for about two hours.
"Don't ask me which one suits me. I'm sorry. Can I just look at it?"
My brother was curled up in a corner of the fitting room with his head in his hands, and the clerk looked at me with a smile, so I was more tired than dealing with killer bees.
