Chapter 319: Acquaintance? Lover? Friend?
12 month 29 day.
Night.
"Boss Su Ming, be loyal!"
"..."
Needless to say, these guys who saluted on the road were all from the Paimon sect.
Are you a general?
The girls who had been keeping a distance from me out of awe now stood one meter away... well, but before they just stared at me, now they bent over.
Very white.
12 month 29 day.
Night.
Tavern.
Duoduo was still wearing a proper maid outfit to pour wine. But then again, she only wore a miniskirt when she was rubbing my back... She was usually very formal.
“It was a real shock.”
"If I hadn't seen the body later, I wouldn't have believed that the monster had come in person."
"..."
"Do you know what this means?"
"..."
Su Ming didn't know what killing the bald brother and sister would mean, but if Paimon patted his shoulder like this again, he might consider throwing him out.
"More than 30 years ago, that monster alone... killed almost all the top masters in the entire Doma Autonomous Region."
"Since then, the Doma Autonomous Region has never been able to gather ten people with magic power. People like me are only half-baked. My physical fitness is only a little stronger because of my magic power, so I can't use magic at all."
"..."
"Well, now those masters up there won't be able to sleep well. Let's hang their heads for a few more days. It would be best if they could see it clearly. Hahahaha."
"Gudu."
Su Ming took a sip of wine.
When I fought those two, I had a vague feeling that they were roughly the same level as the world's top players, but I never expected them to be among the best.
It's just a matter of reloading the file a few more times.
If you really want to calculate it, it's better to train with my two wives at home. That's really... If you don't pay attention, you will be pressed in the baby cafeteria and be molested.
"Brother... I, I'll come drink with you."
"..."
No wonder Paimon and the others have girls around them, but I don't. So the girl is here...
"Don't sit on your lap like them."
“Duoduo’s leather drum… is also a leather drum!”
"..."
The proprietress and Paimon, who were sitting around the dining table, were stunned for a moment, then they both laughed.
"Isn't it you who are still acting so arrogantly at this time?"
"That's right. When Duoduo heard that you might go to a fight, she broke several plates."
"..."
That's not the reason at all, right?
Duoduo didn't learn the essence at all. The girls who accompanied Paimon would at least roll up their skirts when they sat down.
She, on the other hand, sat down carelessly on the drum wrapped in black silk, without any scruples at all.
How can I stand up when so many people are drinking here?
"Duoduo, tell me the truth~ Did the little brother get on base?"
"On base?"
Duoduo obviously didn't understand.
"Hey, just touch you or something."
"Woo!"
I understood and my face turned red instantly.
"It looks like he touched it."
"Brother would touch me...it's normal! Because Duoduo wants to be touched!"
"..."
Su Ming picked up the wine glass and took a sip calmly.
Already used to it.
That's why we will continue to help the gang.
I am still a little weak. But there is nothing Su Ming needs to do for the time being. The entire Doma Autonomous Region and even the part of the Agate Region near the passage have been occupied by Paimeng.
There's no problem with getting a good night's sleep for a few days.
The only problem…the wish in your pocket.
12 month 29 day.
late at night.
The celebration reached its climax, and Paimon and most of his men chose to take the girl to find a good place.
Only the proprietress was quietly cleaning up.
How can you succeed in pursuing the boss lady like this? You are flirting with the girl in the red light district in front of others...
"..."
Of course, Su Ming also had no time to wonder whether Paimeng’s unrequited love would have a chance in the end.
"Brother... has stood up."
"Who told you to sit on my lap the whole time without even lifting up your skirt?"
"Um, sorry..."
There are only 0 and countless births, Su Ming now understands this truth very well.
Duoduo and I also moved to a separate small room. In fact, it was Duoduo's dormitory... the bedroom that the landlady arranged for her on the second floor.
The environment is very simple, with just a bed and a table. On the bed is…
"!"
"No, no...I didn't sleep with my socks in my arms!"
Socks with some snagging at the ankles.
Seeing her hide quickly, his face had already turned red to his ears.
There is nothing strange about this now.
"That doesn't really count as your memory."
"How about making a new one?"
"……elder brother?"
"..."
Ten minutes later, Su Ming returned to the first floor.
The proprietress was still clearing away the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, pouring out the unfinished bottles of wine.
"Brother, so fast?"
"..."
What do you mean so fast?
"Ms. Minnie, do you believe that there are women in the world today who would faint after hearing that they are finally recognized as women?"
"Believe it. Duoduo is it."
“I actually never thought it would turn out like this at first.”
"I know that, too. But doesn't the young man know that the less you ask for in return... women are creatures that want to pay you back, the more they want you? It's like the less you want, the more you want."
"...Miss Minnie is at least 50% responsible for Duoduo's current condition."
"I thought it was 100%, haha, the remaining half is Miss Natasha? Ah... the young man is really popular."
The proprietress put down what she was holding and grabbed with both hands at the same time.
"Is it better to have a big one or a small one? I'm curious."
"Speaking of which... why didn't Miss Natasha come?"
"..."
Maybe, he is still praying in the hut, waiting for himself to see his wish come true, and squeeze out the so-called last value.
"Are you sick? Then take a good rest. I heard that Miss Natasha was also quite frightened."
"Oh, what a pity... I saw the young man helping Duoduo in with a lustful look on his face, thinking he must eat her tonight. I thought I would hear some wonderful noises. Duoduo is disappointing. When will I get her next time?"
"..."
Who was the one who helped Duoduo in? Wasn't she the one who was helped in?
"How about it? Do you want to... dokidoki with me, little brother?"
The proprietress threw a wink.
"Wait a minute! It's nice to chat even if it's not dokidoki!"
"..."
Su Ming went back.
12 month 30 day.
early morning.
The noise from the pub was very close, but the cabin seemed to be in a completely different world.
As expected, she was still kneeling beside the dining table, her hips slightly deformed by the pressure.
"May the goddess Terena protect me..."
He clasped his hands together, so pious that he didn't even notice Su Ming coming in.
"Clap."
Until Su Ming threw the bag in front of her.
"Here's the dress you asked for."
Su Ming then opened the box of salad that he had specially asked the boss lady to help him make.
"Here's the vegetable salad you asked for."
“…” She stopped muttering and turned her head.
His expression was no longer as gloomy as yesterday, and had become indescribably calm.
"I'll... go change in my room."
"Ah."
I watched her carry her bag back to her room. Soon I heard the sound of clothes rubbing against each other.
Not long after, she came out in a maid outfit. Duoduo's figure was completely different from hers... She looked as if the buttons on her chest would pop open soon.
The skirt doesn't even cover the hem of her hips.
The pantyhose left obvious marks on the flesh.
"A maid outfit is also considered a dress."
"..."
She had no objection and knelt down in front of the salad box again, picking up the knife and fork.
"After you eat, you will stay here. And I will go back."
"This is not a dream, this is the real world."
"..."
Without answering, she put the salad into her mouth.
"Are you scared?"
"If I don't want to take you back, you'll probably stay here forever."
"...Yes, I deserve it."
She stopped, stared at Su Ming blankly, then looked away.
"Thank you... I'm still willing to punish me."
"..."
Your own attitude.
More than 10 years ago, I definitely didn’t want to see it again. More than 10 years later… I didn’t want to see it either, but I just let go of a lot of emotions after knowing some things.
"Ever since you used my hair to blackmail me, I have been subjected to unwarranted abuse for a long time."
"Even if I recorded the phone call to your mother saying it was a misunderstanding, it would be useless."
"……sorry."
"Because I lost a lot of money, I had no choice but to skip classes and work two jobs. If I hadn't skipped classes, I might have been able to get into Kyoto University."
“I’m really… sorry…”
"I always thought that my sister and I didn't have a good relationship, but in fact she didn't know how to tell me. Your incident was an opportunity. She suddenly came crying and said...she would make money to support me in the future. She told me not to be played by strange women again, and she would help me find a woman who would not lie to me in the future."
"Not many people knew I was her brother, and I was reluctant to say it before. But after that happened, when my reputation was at its worst, everyone started saying I was her brother."
That is also one of the reasons why Su Ming, as a latecomer, is so kind to his sister.
"I have always had the attitude of not asking if others don't want to talk. This is still the case today."
"But your mother called me five or six years later and told me what kind of life your family was leading at school."
"Tell me about it."
"Things I haven't asked before. About school and home."
"..."
"If you don't tell me now, you won't have the chance later."
Su Ming lit a cigarette and sat down against the wall.
"If I tell you... you'll feel sick."
"As you wish."
"..."
I still said it, even though I spoke it haltingly.
But just as Su Ming guessed, the family lacked the concept of family affection. After getting the property, his mother became addicted to gambling.
Money... She didn't choose that time to ask for it on purpose. She thought her mother was in trouble and needed money for surgery. As the person she trusted the most... she would only call herself.
As for agreeing with others who say "You can't play with migrant workers, or you will become a migrant worker in the future", that is just mentally reckless.
If you don't follow the crowd, you will be ostracized.
So, what happened after that incident?
After graduating from high school, she was supported by the government to move due to various rumors.
"Mom became more and more addicted to gambling... She sold everything she could at home."
"If she didn't still want child support from dad and didn't want to be caught, she might... let me help her make money."
"..."
"My life is ruined because of her..."
"I'm still the same after transferring to another school. I'm still a coward. I don't want to follow suit anymore, so I can only be a servant... I want to resist. I went to find the teacher, and their parents came, including their mother."
"Then she signed the agreement. Um... that is, a letter of understanding. After taking the money, she signed and left. She only cared about the gambling money."
"When I was in primary school, they said I was dark and skinny like a monkey."
"When I grew up in middle school, became less dark and less skinny...they said they couldn't stand me. They said I was growing fast."
"..."
That is a memory completely buried in the mud.
"Until 21 years later."
"She's old, too."
"He started to urge me to go out and make money. He would come to collect my salary every month. If I didn't give him the salary, he would come to the company to make trouble..."
"..."
"In 23 years, she turned 65, and I said... I was the guardian. Well, I put her in a nursing home."
Her expression became darker as she spoke.
There is a kind of inferiority engraved in my bones, and my sight is getting lower and lower.
"call."
Su Ming took a puff of his cigarette and said, "So, in the end, apart from transferring money to me, you didn't even think of coming over to apologize?"
"..."
She was stunned.
"I know what kind of people my company is. If I really want to give out bonuses, I want to let everyone know that the company has good benefits."
"Ah, no, the current company's treatment is indeed good."
“So, there is no one else who can suddenly transfer 5 yuan in one go.”
"..."
The salad box was half empty, so it probably wasn't very tasty. I wouldn't have much of an appetite if I hadn't eaten all day and had nothing but this.
"Do you think I will understand you?"
"..."
After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head.
"After all, it's not easy to bear that kind of reputation for a year."
Su Ming put out his cigarette.
In fact, many times, the thoughts in my head cannot be sorted out at all.
It is true that she would run out to block the knife, but from an objective point of view it would be meaningless, and instead I would have to kick her back with one more kick.
But the knife is real.
It hurts if it pierces the body.
"..."
Su Ming took out the paper from her pocket, which she had used to write her wish.
Now there is new writing on the back.
Spread it out and place it in front of her.
[Wish = What the Saint Really Wants to Do]
[Things that count now: I want to have children, I want to be served with my feet...]
I think you can understand it, right? Although it's a bit abstract.
"...Mr. Ming?"
Not long after, she raised her face again, but her expression was no longer as calm.
"It doesn't necessarily mean that the maid outfit Duoduo wears doesn't count as a formal dress."
"..."
Although I felt miserable, I knew that such a family couldn't be very happy when I saw her mother's completely different attitude before and after she asked me to borrow money.
But what does that have to do with me, whose kindness resulted in a year of infamy?
As long as I force her to write down two real wishes, I can finish what I want to do, just like before... I can even lie. I can just pretend to forgive her.
That would definitely get the job done right away.
There is no need to go to such lengths.
“Hah…woo.”
Seeing her clutching the paper ball to her chest, her face, which had just looked like she was about to die, twisted into a ball again. Tears and snot were all mixed together.
Maybe you want to say something, but you can't form the words.
Why?
He was clearly sitting on my lap at the time... he was dark and thin. Who can recognize him now that he has become like this?
Especially the drumstick, which is overdeveloped.
"Let's go to the tavern and have something to eat. The landlady should still be there."
"By the way, check on Duoduo for me. I'll take a nap first."
Su Ming was also tired, both physically and mentally.
Not a friend, not a lover, but an acquaintance? No, no acquaintance is good enough to have used the baby cafeteria and buttocks card, let alone the academic qualifications card.
py?
If you have something like this around you, first of all... you will look down on yourself.
