Leaning on the beams in the corridor and looking at the sky, the morning light was stained gray, and the wind was also mixed with the smell of rain. It seemed that it was going to rain in the near future.
From this season onwards, there will be more and more rain, and there will always be sudden leaks in the dilapidated Demon King's City in unexpected places. If it had been before, Limo would have already started to make emergency preparations at this time.
but now......
"I can't calm down."
He would sigh like this almost every day when he was here.
Being accustomed to getting up early, he ushered in the morning on time as usual today, but he also ushered in the most boring moment as usual.
At this time, of course, the annoying devil was still sleeping, but the little fox got up earlier than himself to go to work. This villa hidden in the hills in the city was like a paradise, cutting off the hustle and bustle of the city, but it made people feel at ease. It feels so lonely at this time.
He tried to take a nap, but his fixed biological clock kept him tossing and turning and he couldn't fall asleep. When he went to the street, he could only think of going to the vegetable market, because he almost never entered those entertainment venues alone. If you think about it carefully, your private life is really inexplicably humble.
well--
Accept the reality, you are already like this.
Li Mo let out a long sigh and slumped down in the terrifyingly clean corridor. He stared blankly at the ceiling for a few seconds, then slapped his face hard, and then cheered up again:
"Okay, let's do what we usually do!"
I ran to the grocery room and found a bucket and rag. I dug out some old newspapers, poured some hot water on them, soaked the towels and returned to the corridor.
"Sure enough, this is the only way to feel at ease."
Li Mo's face showed an extremely relieved and comfortable expression.
With his exquisite techniques, everything he touches has become bright and clean. Maintaining a clean living environment like this is his personal hobby, and it is so serious that whenever he feels bored or stressed, he can't help but start cleaning or cleaning. Start cooking.
But after gently wiping the glass in front of him with a newspaper soaked in hot water, Li Mo's hand stopped and stayed in place. He had felt like this before, this place was too clean.
This is partly the reason why I haven't gotten sick before.
The exquisite design of facing the sun and ventilation keeps the house refreshing and refreshing, and every corner of the courtyard is neatly cleaned and spotless. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is spotless. The windows he cleans are just enough to open a little. It’s just a complete level.
This wonderful feeling of comfort made him feel that if he continued to clean it, he would be damaging it.
"The mood is really inexplicably subtle."
This kind of craftsmanship and delicacy that is not inferior to his own make Li Mo feel like he has been deprived of the meaning of his existence.
Who is this...
"Lord Li Mo?"
Guwa——
Turning his head when he heard the sound, he was not sure whether he screamed, but his expression did change suddenly, and he involuntarily took a step back, almost knocking over the bucket at his feet.
A girl in a simple kimono was standing in front of her with her sleeves rolled up and a bucket in her hands.
Today's morning light is a bit dim. The girl shrouded in this morning light is as quiet as a small statue carved by a skilled artist. The cute ears on her head are hanging lazily, and the ears are braided by the sideburns. The braided hair tells her identity as a child.
"W-why are you here?"
It was hard for Li Mo to pretend to smile, but he really tried, because he was really at a loss for this girl.
"I work in another courtyard and also live here."
real or fake? !
I've been living here for several days and I didn't even know she lived here, so my sense of presence is a bit weak.
And she also talked about work...
Looking at the bucket in her hand, Li Mo suddenly understood that the person who took care of this house was this child. Then he looked at the newspaper used to clean the windows in his hand, and it seemed that he had stolen someone else's job.
"Sorry, it affects your work."
"No, it's nothing. It's just that Mr. Limo is a guest and shouldn't do such chores."
"Well, it would be best if you don't treat us as guests. We can't do much to help, we are just freeloaders here, so there is no need to treat us specially."
Unlike the Demon King, Li Mo is still a shameless person. Even if he is familiar with the little fox, it is already a bit shameless to live and eat here for free. If he wants others to treat him specially, then that's fine.
"I haven't seen outsiders coming in and out frequently, so that means you are the only one cleaning here, right?"
"Yes, the Holy Mountain is the owner's private property. There are also many official documents of the territory placed in the courtyard, so the general public is prohibited from entering or exiting here."
"That's right, but it's hard for you to clean such a big courtyard by yourself, right?"
"No, because it's my job."
It feels really serious.
Originally, Li Mo wanted to suggest that she and he take turns cleaning. After all, there was no such thing as a good thing like having an enemy come to help him with the work. But seeing the current situation, Li Mo couldn't say anything.
"Can I ask a question?"
"Don't be so restrained. Just talk to me casually. You don't need to call me sir. After all, I'm not a big shot."
It was rare for the demon fox girl to talk to him, and to be honest, he was a little happy about the end.
"What are you doing, Master Limo?"
"I told you not to be so formal, but as you can see I'm cleaning. To be honest, I quite like cleaning."
Li Mo smiled bitterly, but it's difficult to ask others to change their words in a short while, so take your time.
"No, I mean..."
Perhaps because she didn't know how to ask, the girl stopped mid-sentence.
But Li Mo found that she had been staring at the old newspaper she was using to clean the glass, and he probably understood what she wanted to ask.
"Are you talking about this? In fact, this is a little tip. Because newspapers are highly absorbent and the ink on the paper can absorb dust, newspapers are much easier to use than rags for cleaning windows, like... ....”
When it comes to these things, Li Mo always chatters like an old aunt squatting at the gate of the community to inquire about gossip. After all, this is what she likes.
But as usual, the Demon King would definitely interrupt him, so Li Mo's body, which he was used to, stopped instinctively.
He smiled bitterly:
"I'm sorry, it must be boring to listen to my uncle chatting here."
"No, I learned a lot, tell me more if you can."
I thought that the girl would speak harshly like the Demon King, but what I got was an unexpected answer.
The serious expression on the girl's face as she listened to him attentively made Li Mo feel that he was asleep for a moment.
"But this is just a crooked idea from an uncle like me. Is it really okay?"
"Yes, judging from the facts, Master Limo's cleaning results are much better than mine, so this is definitely not a crooked idea. If you can, please teach me next time when you clean."
"you you......"
Li Mo seemed to have had a dream. He dreamed that a long time ago, he had thought about cleaning the Demon King's City with others. Even if she didn't do it and just stayed with him for a while, it would be a kind of happiness.
This dream was brutally crushed by the guy he had placed his hope on so many years ago, but now it is being realized by this child in a place like this.
His eyes couldn't help but be blurred by something.
"Furthermore, I want to correct a mistake made by Mr. Limo."
Sure enough, it’s still wrong?
"Master Limo is probably not old enough to call himself an uncle, so this is wrong."
What a wonderful person this is!
This kid is like...like...
"But...but, you seem to have changed a lot from when we met before. I always feel that you were not so talkative before. Are you really a sister? You are not pretending to be a sister, right?"
"I am indeed a sister, and I am not pretending because I was working when I met Mr. Li Mo before. There is no need to talk about so many things other than work while working."
It's really so serious that it's scary.
But I could somewhat tell that there was a real nature hidden underneath the repulsive look when they first met.
And when they were grooming themselves before, the tails and ears of their demon fox clan couldn't fool anyone.
"Speaking of which, since you don't think I'm an uncle, why were you so angry when you picked me up in the first place?"
"Um?"
When Li Mo asked this question, the demon fox girl tilted her head and expressed confusion, as if she didn't understand what Li Mo was talking about.
"It was that time, you cried when I called you sister."
"I really lost my temper last time, but I wasn't angry. I was happy."
The girl bowed and apologized to Li Mo.
Happy?
Although Li Mo doesn't understand why she is happy, since you are not angry, why do you want to punish me?
What a puzzling person.
"Haha, let's not talk about it for now. Actually, I have another request. Can you take me to see the kitchen?"
