"Good morning, Mr. Fisher, you woke up later than usual today."
When Fisher came downstairs, Philon was already sitting in the dining room reading the newspaper, and Nana next to him was having breakfast. To Fisher's surprise, there was an extra little girl in the restaurant this time.
The girl is the werewolf girl adopted by Philon, Qiqi.
On her short brown hair, her two pointed ears stood up, and she was drinking milk while holding a cup slightly larger than her palm.
The biggest difference between the werewolf race and the canine race is the amount of hair on their ears and body. The canine race's ears are curved, and the hair on the body is usually much more than that of the werewolf race. Generally speaking,
The fighting ability of the werewolf race is higher than that of the canine race, but the learning ability of the canine race is better than that of the werewolf race.
She carefully glanced at Fisher who came down, then at Philon next to her, and finally took a sip of milk.
Philon raised the newspaper in his hand and said to Fisher,
"Last week's newspaper in Saint-Nali said that the king was planning to set up an environmental investigation committee to investigate the black-smoking factories near Saint-Nali and purify the air so as not to destroy the black smoke every time during the monsoon season.
The smoke blew into the Golden Palace."
"That's good. At least the residents in the city no longer have to worry about one day dying of lung disease, and the king can't stand the clear sky of the Golden Palace being obscured by gas..."
Fisher sat down and said "thank you" to the maid who handed over the breakfast. Philon also put down the newspaper and sighed to Fisher,
"It is indeed the case. According to the latest survey by the University of St. Louis, 64% of St. Louis citizens' primary health concern is the air they breathe... at the expense of the interests of a small number of entrepreneurs.
This is also necessary for the health of most people..."
Before Philon finished speaking, the werewolf girl next to him had put down the milk glass in her hand, pulled Philon's sleeve, and pouted, saying,
"Dad, you haven't answered me just now...Can't I go to the outer city to see her today?"
Philon reached out and knocked the gas mask on his face, and said to Fisher in a distressed tone,
"Sorry Mr. Fisher, this kid has made a pen pal with a kid from a school outside the city. I have to go out and see her today..."
He turned his head to look at Qiqi and said,
"But Dad still has things to do today, and Nana has to settle down the demi-humans who came here before. Dad can't let go of your worries if you ask the maids or soldiers to take you out."
Qiqi puffed up her cheeks and hugged her chest cutely with her hands. She was clearly angry, and the moisture dripping from the corners of her eyes added to her cuteness.
"Dad, you promised me..."
Seeing that Qiqi was about to shed tears, Philon had no choice but to reach out and hold Qiqi in his arms. Then he suddenly thought of something, turned to look at Fisher and said,
"Mr. Fisher, I wonder if you have any plans today?"
"I will take Rafael and the others to the city to buy some supplies."
"Ah, that's great." Philon touched the head of the girl in his arms, clapped his hands and said, "Can you take Qiqi with you and let her meet her pen pal outside the city? You also know the city
What outsiders think of them, I really don’t feel comfortable letting someone take her there at will.”
Qiqi looked at Fisher with tears in Philon's arms, her ears twitching, and her eyes full of vigilance.
Fisher glanced at her, then nodded and agreed,
"I will keep an eye on her and let her accompany Lal's noisy little dragon..."
"Oh, Dad, I don't want that little dragon to accompany me. She always snatches my toys! I hate her the most!"
Philon laughed "haha", touched her head, and then said,
"How can you say that to others? It won't hurt if you share toys with others. Maybe Qiqi will gain a good friend if she is more generous... Then it's decided, Mr. Fisher, Qiqi
I’ll leave it to you for now.”
The words were finalized in this way. When Rafael came down from the room with Lal and the others, Philon temporarily left to go to the laboratory, saying that he wanted to replace the nutrient solution in the mask, leaving only Nana.
He told Qiqi what he should pay attention to outside the city.
"Fisher! Lal dreamed of Lady Rafael last night, and I always thought I could hear her voice!"
Lal ran over and ran into Fischer's arms. As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes changed slightly. Mir's face turned slightly red, and Fahir and Kehir looked at it with unclear expressions.
Fisher and Nana hugged Qiqi, who looked confused, and pretended not to hear.
Only Rafael, who was gritting his teeth, reached out and wanted to beat up the childish Lal, so that she would know what it means to have trouble come from the mouth.
Fisher's expression remained unchanged and he just said to Lar,
"That's an illusion. Maybe you miss Rafael too much."
These words received disdainful looks from the two draconians, Kehir and Fahir.
"However, today you have to go out with me to buy some supplies, and by the way, you also need to take Qiqi to meet her friends... Lar, you take a good look at Qiqi and stay with her."
Lal's coat of arms is still there, and being with Qi Qi can ensure her safety.
Lar glanced at Qiqi, who was looking at her warily in Nana's arms, and smiled at Fisher,
"Okay! She and Lal are good friends. She lends toys to Lal every time. Lal likes her very much!"
"..."
That's probably the case, and Fisher didn't delve into it.
He wasn't quite sure why Philoen would entrust him with taking Qiqi out. If the other party was malicious towards him, he shouldn't put a child by his side, unless he wanted to make some fuss about himself through this child.
.
For example, he abducted the child in the middle of the journey and slandered him as the murderer of the Nayan child...
With all this in mind, Fisher's thoughts flickered for a moment, and he arranged the details to avoid exposing any flaws.
"Remember to listen to Mr. Fisher after you go out. This is dad's badge. If anything happens, show it and tell them that dad is the Lord of Philon City. If anything happens, he will definitely get to the bottom of it... I know.
Are you ready, Qiqi?"
"Yeah.. Got it, Miss Nana."
Nana handed a dark blue badge to Qi Qi, touched her ears, and warned her repeatedly. Qi Qi lowered her head, took the badge into her hand, and nodded.
"It seems that you are almost ready. The soldiers will let you out when you get to the door. When you come back, ask Qiqi to show your badge."
It didn't take long for Philon to come back. He changed his clothes and said this to Fisher. As the city lord, he still had many other things to be busy with, so he did not go out with Fisher and the others. He went out with Nana first.
Went together.
Fisher took Qiqi and the others to drive his carriage. During this period, the carriage had been parked in the courtyard outside the mansion, and the horses were given to the servants to raise. He prepared everything and made sure that the lock on his carriage was not locked.
When people moved, Fisher ordered the dragons to get on the bus.
"Hello, my name is Lal. Although you haven't spoken to me, I know your name is Qiqi, right?"
"...."
"Thank you for lending me the toy. I also have a toy, but it's not mine. Fisher gave it to me. Do you want to see it?"
"...."
Lar, who was walking in the carriage next to her, was chattering. While introducing the space magic in the carriage, she picked up the hourglass that Fisher had given her in the room where she lived before to shut her up, and wanted to lend it to Qi Qi.
Play.
Qiqi wore a small dark green dress, held a gift wrapped in colored paper, and sat behind Fisher without saying a word. She glanced at Lar from time to time, but did not speak.
But Hill and Fahir were sitting on the stairwell looking at Lal and laughing.
"You idiot, she can't even understand you. Stop talking. Our heads are about to explode from your noise!"
"Lal is not an idiot... Even if she can't understand what Lal is saying, she should still speak. Is she a mute? Lal clearly heard her speak, or is she only mute in front of Lal?
"
Ignoring Lar, who was noisy again, Fisher glanced at Qiqi behind him and asked,
"Qiqi, where is your pen pal? Let's go see your pen pal first."
She raised her head to look at Fisher, the ears on her head dangled, and then she raised the gift in her hand.
"She...she lives at 74 Second Street, her name is Angela, and she said just go downstairs and call her name. And...there is one more thing I want to ask you, Mr. Fisher...
.”
"whats the matter?"
She glanced at Fisher who was holding the reins in front of her, then took out a small sunhat from her arms and put it on her head, covering her ears. She glanced at the dragon girls behind her and said
,
"Can you please let them stay in the carriage for a while and don't let Angela see them?"
"..."
It was only after she spoke that Fisher suddenly realized that Qiqi spoke much softer after she came out, as if she didn't dare to open her mouth, because when she opened her mouth, the unique fangs of a werewolf would be exposed. Her tail was also covered with her long dress.
Covering it, she also tied the ribbon under the hat into a tight knot so that it wouldn't fall off.
"I...I didn't tell Angela that I was a demi-human. I heard from Nana and other soldier uncles that humans outside looked down on demi-humans, so..."
"...Okay, but you'd better stay where I can see you. What did you agree to do?"
"I didn't make an appointment, I just wanted to meet her... But she said in the letter that there is a delicious coffee shop below her house. When I go there, she will treat me to a drink. I will definitely stay in your sight.
Please."
Fisher nodded. They had already left the inner city built by Philon for the demi-humans and headed towards the road outside.
"In order to protect your safety, I must stay by your side. Their safety is equally important to me, so it is impossible to leave me, so we will enter the coffee shop with you. However, we will pretend not to know you,
Until she leaves."
Qiqi's eyes lit up and she showed a bright smile to Fisher,
