Chapter 57 Klein: I like mature people
Melissa put down her pen and compass and put away her school textbooks. She had finished her homework for the day, but Klein had not returned yet...

She was a little confused. She had just washed the dishes, wiped the table in front of her, and rested for a while before starting her homework... Klein actually had something to talk to Mr. Blue for so long?

She looked across at Benson, only to see that this brother had a bitter face, and on the dining table in front of him were grammar books, classical literature, accounting tutorials, pens and paper.

Benson noticed his sister's gaze and complained, "I can't believe that Klein used to study such boring things... This makes me feel like I've been back to more than a decade ago, when I was still a student in the church's Sunday school."

Melissa covered her mouth and didn't laugh. Grammar and literature were recommended to Benson by Klein, who said they were very useful. Facts have proven this. With those knowledge, Klein found a good job and is now the mainstay of the family!
In a few years, Klein and Benson will get married and have children, and I will be a generation older. I really hope that by then, our family will no longer worry about money... I definitely will!
Melissa's eyes lit up as she packed up her textbooks and stationery with great enthusiasm. She prepared to wash up and wait for Klein to come back.

Jingle, jingle.

Benson raised his head and said in a relaxed tone:

"It seems that Klein's matter is over. It should be a very important matter..."

Melissa was a little surprised. Klein didn't even wear a coat when he went out, and he definitely didn't bring his keys, so he rang the doorbell. She ran to the door quickly, turned the handle, opened the door, and saw a familiar figure.

Hmm? Klein...did you have this hairstyle before? Why do I feel...

"Melissa, stop being in a daze and go home quickly. If you keep me out of the door, I'll catch a cold..."

“Ah! Klein, come in quickly. Do you want to light up the fireplace?” Melissa looked at Klein, who was folding his arms and shaking a little, and quickly made way for him, asking with concern.

Klein controlled his body perfectly and pretended to be shivering from the cold and hurried into the house. He recalled that he had just been in old Blue's house and had already lit the fireplace. It was so warm...

He couldn't help but answer: "Well, it's time to let the fireplace play its due role. Well, there should be firewood bought before at home... Um, I'll go upstairs to wash up and come back later..."

Melissa saw Klein waved and greeted Benson before heading straight to the room on the second floor. She couldn't help but feel a little strange... Shouldn't he go to bed after washing up?

She looked at Klein carefully under the bright gas light in the room. Suddenly, her expression froze and she looked a little dazed.

After Klein went upstairs, Melissa trotted over to Benson and said in a panic, "Ben, Benson, Klein... seems to have changed his clothes, and his pants are obviously longer..."

"Ah?" Benson's eyes were a little confused. He didn't quite understand what his sister was describing...

Melissa was somewhat helpless and stuttered as she whispered, "Benson, you don't understand. Selina and Elizabeth... once told me... that some men... well, like men..."

"Ah? Ah! Ah——"

……

Klein quickly went up to the second floor, entered his bedroom, and locked the door.

Then, he took out a kitchen knife with a blood-red handle and a golden blade from his shirt. He played with it for a while and couldn't help but feel excited. This was his first magical item! And it was such a powerful weapon!
Although the shape is somewhat inconsistent with its powerful nature... a kitchen knife... Haha, when I encounter an evil Beyonder, he pulls out a door-panel sword, and I pull out a kitchen knife... Well... Then I will use a revolver to shoot from a distance! Times have changed!
Klein couldn't let go of the kitchen knife, but he knew he still needed to explain to his family what he had done for so long... On the way back, he had already made up an excuse. Well, just say... the prepaid gold pounds were too much, so I went to refund some of it, and then followed Mr. Blue to familiarize himself with the precautions of walking Ah Fu... Perfect!
Gold pounds... Klein was stunned. Advance payment... Where's the gold pounds? Damn! Cover! Your face! You! Ugly! You deserve to die! 30 pounds!
Before, the weekly salary of a civilian was 3 pounds... Now I am a formal member of the Nighthawks, with a weekly salary of 6 pounds... Oh, Old Blue didn't mention this, but I can't pretend it never happened... The expenses of walking Ahfu... I'll pay for it myself first...

Klein made up his mind and hid the kitchen knife under his soft pillow, preparing to give it to Gray Fog before going to bed. Such an important item! Of course it would be safest to put it on Gray Fog!

He quickly changed into the shirt and pants from his cheap formal suit, walked out of the room, and returned to the living room on the first floor where his brother and sister were. He smiled at his family and said,
"The newspaper said that Backlund used to burn smoke that enveloped everyone around him, so the fireplaces there became popular with smokeless charcoal and anthracite... That's too exaggerated, isn't it..."

Klein wanted to tell an insulting joke to ease the atmosphere, but he found that Benson and Melissa looked a little strange after seeing him, especially Melissa, who was already mumbling to herself...

"What's wrong? Melissa, what are you talking about?"

"Klein, um, can I ask you something?"

Benson looked a little embarrassed, but still said, "Do you have a girl you like? Do you have someone you want to marry?"

"Ah? Why do you ask that?..."

Klein was a little confused. He remembered that when he was having dinner at Old Blue's house, he had the same question...

Melissa asked anxiously, “Is there one? It’s okay if you just have a crush on her. Elizabeth… Well, Elizabeth is indeed a little young, and her family situation is much better than ours. You need to work harder…get engaged…get married…”

Klein didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What the hell was going on? He spoke quickly:
"Melissa, don't get me wrong... I don't like Elizabeth. Well, to be precise, I don't like girls who are much younger than me. I like those who are more mature."

"Someone more mature?" Melissa and Benson felt their heads buzzing. "Klein, Mr. Blue...what did he do to you...and you even changed your clothes and came back..."

"What...are you thinking about..."

Klein felt like he had turned into a clown, especially since he had been so thoroughly socially dead in front of his family. The misunderstanding was so huge...

At this moment, Klein felt that his "Joker" potion... was showing obvious signs of digestion again...

Klein stood there in a daze. How many times has this happened?

No, no! It's not important! What's important is! Maintain your innocence!

Melissa! What kind of articles do you usually read? What kind of friends do you make?
Klein felt a little dizzy, perhaps due to excessive blood loss... He quickly spoke:

"Benson, Melissa, you...you...listen to my excuse..."
