Chapter 40
Lucia must have been worried until after school after hearing Robin talking about the Moon Maiden Shrine.
After school, was not in the mood to find ways to play for a few more minutes, but hurried home.
The door was still locked.
Lucia opened the door of the house with the key hanging around her neck and walked in.
On the table, the breakfast that Anna left to Athos was left intact, and it was obvious that Athos had not come back.
Lucia was sitting on the sofa, Mistry jumped to Lucia's side, and her warm body was next to her.
"I'm so worried about my brother." Lucia hugged Mistry like a rag doll, "I don't know how he is now."
"Want to go and see?" Mistry asked.
"Hey? Is it okay?" Lucia was surprised.
"Of course." Mistry jumped down, "Do you remember, you had a suit that could completely hide your existence."
"...Don't bother with that, that will also make others forget me." Lucia subconsciously refused.
"Of course, for this incident, I specially developed another outfit." Mistry said solemnly, "Miss Lucia, please take a look."
The moment Lucia saw the big turntable, she turned her face away sadly: "Why do you still have to draw a card? Can you be more sincere as a patron saint and let me buy it directly?"
"This can't be done." Mistry gently refused, "What surprises are there in terms of pricing? Life just needs more surprises."
"Surprise is not a card draw!" Lucia complained while looking at the limited card pool this time.
Above the prize pool is a small ninja skirt with a black hood, and the additional ability is invisibility.
The rewards at the back are also related to thieves, such as cross darts, spears, hook locks and the like.
"As long as you collect the Thief Hood, Tights, Pants, Bracers, Shoes, Knee Socks, Short Hairstyle, Black Eyes, Gorgeous Lip Gloss, Sleeve Earrings, and Spiked Rings, you can activate the Thief suit. , has stealth ability." Mistry was very kind, "Look, isn't it very simple?"
"...Why are there so many parts!" Lucia was shocked, "There are more than ten in total!"
"This is also my style to better reflect this suit." Mistry always has a hundred reasons to excuse himself. "Also, this time I also developed a new gameplay."
"What??" Lucia looked at Mistry vigilantly, always feeling that this cat profiteer would cause him some trouble.
"Because Miss Lucia is going to investigate, so let's warm up."
Mistry pressed the big turntable with his paw, and a number '000' appeared on it. He said kindly, "Miss Lucia, the depth of the card pool this time is 100 draws, and one point can be drawn once."
"How to get the points?" Lucia was even more vigilant.
"I'm also thinking. After all, this dress can only be invisible, but it will still be touched. In order to exercise Miss Lucia's agility, let's play a game." Mistry was eager to try, "I'll chase, If you come and run, I will give you one point if you havenโt avoided me for a minute.โ
"That's impossible, you are so much better than me!" Lucia immediately refused, "I definitely can't outrun you."
"I will only use the same speed as you." Mistry immediately promised.
Lucia thought about it for a long time, and felt that there would be no loss if he lost, so he hesitated and agreed: "Then give it a try?"
"bring it on!"
Lucia looked at Mistry, always wondering why he looked so excited, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.
Ten minutes later, the hunch came true.
Lucia ran out of the house aggrieved, trying to close the door to prevent Mistry from coming out.
As a result, Mistry squeezed out of the gap in the window, jumped briskly on Lucia's head, and said with a smile: "I was caught by me again, Miss Lucia."
"Gu..." Lucia closed herself.
"It seems that you still need to exercise." Mistry pretended to regret, "It's just such a level, it's definitely impossible to meet the enemy."
"I-I can come again!" Lucia dragged Mistry down and ran around the garden to avoid him.
Although Mistry's speed was similar to that of Lucia, he was always able to plan the route meticulously, go around in the direction of Lucia's advance, and catch Lucia on the spot.
Lucia hid from the garden all the way back to the room, and finally lay on her bed tired, feeling that she was out of breath.
"Are you tired?" Mistry jumped to Lucia's side without taking a breath, squatted down upright, and his big tail swept Lucia's face, "Now your points are only Sixteen o'clock, let's keep going."
"I-I'm going to take a tenth first." Lucia struggled to get up.
"Of course." Gentleman Mistry replied.
The huge turntable reappeared, and Lucia pressed the ten button in anticipation.
It is of course impossible for a ten company to pull out all the clothes. This time, two clothes parts and a few smoke bombs and cross darts were pulled out.
Lucia put the clothes into the small warehouse summoned by Mistry, put the smoke bombs and cross darts directly in his pockets, and trembled again in an instant: "Don't be complacent, I'll fight you again right away!"
"Are you going to use these things?" Mistry exclaimed, "I really can't think of it, I thought you would use these things against the enemy."
"Oh, the god of deceit and profiteers is my worst enemy!" Lucia took out the cross dart from her pocket, squeezed it tightly and wanted to throw it out.
Before throwing it out, Lucia felt a pain in her finger: "Yeah!"
"What's wrong?" Mistry jumped over immediately and looked down at Lucia's hand, "Injured?"
"...Pinch, pinch in the wrong place." Lucia's tears welled up, "I won't use this..."
"Hmm." Mistry really didn't expect this, he pondered, "So, it seems Miss Lucia, you still have a lot to learn."
Lucia pinched the bloody fingers and looked at Mistry pitifully.
"Please practice your agility with me in the past few days. After you pass the test, you can play the detective game." Mistry stretched out his cat's paw and patted Lucia's leg, "Come on."
"Understood." Lucia bandaged the wound in a dejected manner, and was chased by Mistry all over the yard.
After finally waiting for Anna to come back, Lucia was almost a dehydrated fish.
"What's the matter with you?" Anna took potatoes and fish and looked at Lucia lying on the sofa with a look of surprise.
"I'm a little tired." Lucia replied sullenly.
Anna didn't expect Lucia, who looked like a perpetual motion machine, to be tired. She patted Lucia's head again and looked at her throat. After confirming that Lucia was just tired, she laid her down on the sofa and did it by herself. Dinner is over.
Thinking that he had been chased all afternoon, and only got 21 points in total, Lucia almost fell into autism.
The only thing that made her happy was that Athos finally came back before dinner.
He looks no different from before going out, still a very calm and gentle good brother.
"I'm back." Before Athos finished speaking, Lucia ran over and hugged his leg.
"What's wrong?" Athos bent down and coaxed patiently for a long time before he pulled Lucia off his lap and held him in his arms.
"I'm so worried about my brother." Lucia grew on Athos' neck again and whispered, "You haven't come back for a day."
"Because there are more things to do." Athos explained, hugging Lucia and coaxing him for a long time, "Wait until things are over, I'll tell you, okay?"
"Okay." Lucia replied obediently.
Athos supported Lucia with one hand, touched her hair with the other hand and coaxed her for a long time, and finally made the little girl laugh again.
Putting Lucia on the chair by the dining table, Athos took time to look at Lucia's situation.
It doesn't look any different from before... right?
Athos took a closer look and saw a level one lockpicking skill behind Lucia's skill.
Lockpicking lv.1: After a long period of research on locks, now you are not picking locks by luck.
You have become a basic lockpicker, able to pick even the most basic locks in under a minute.
Why does Lucia have lockpicking skills? Is this what the school taught? Why do seminaries teach lockpicking skills?
Athos couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't understand why Lucia had the skill of picking locks.
Suddenly, Athos had a flash of light and thought that Lucia went to the window and saw someone transporting the body and the lock on the window.
โโCould it be that the reason why she was able to see the man in black was because she went to the window to pick the lock every day?
Athos stared at Lucia with a cute face, and his heart was really complicated.
If you want to practice a lock picking skill, how long has your own sister been holding the lock!
"What's the matter, brother?" Lucia didn't know what Athos found, and looked at Athos obediently.
"It's nothing." Athos replied bitterly, feeling that he recognized his sister again.
If you just look at her appearance, what a pure, dazzling, and beautiful girl she is.
Athos felt very heartache when he thought of Lucia picking locks by the window at night.
Then he saw his skill in the reflective kitchen utensils.
Magic Lamp lv.2: You are too bright! X2
While not understanding your own brightness, you are also actively looking for opportunities to shine.
You are such a good light.
What is this skill talking about?
Athos was very troubled. He opened his skills to look at his mother, Anna, to see if there was any change in her.
What surprised Athos was that on Anna's body, he also saw the skill of a first-level magic lamp.
What exactly does this skill mean?
While laughing and playing with Lucia, Athos carefully compared the differences and similarities between himself and Ana, trying to deduce the specific function of the magic lamp skill.
But if he wanted to break his head, Athos couldn't understand what was the same between him and Anna.
Athos sighed.
Since Lucia came to Serancha, there seemed to be more and more strange skill descriptions around him.
