Three days later, Boom, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was standing by the door, sometimes pointing at Liuhua, sometimes nagging her.
Rikka, who was cooking, became even more irritable. He turned the shovel in his hand into a weapon, and his enemy was the beef in the pot.
"No, no, add more salt, believe me, I'm right." Boom said again, and walked to the other party's side.
"Brother, if you don't want to get internal injuries on your face, you'd better retreat to the room now." Rikka didn't look back, but her skin turned tan.
Bored! Confused! At a loss! As an orphan, Boom has never enjoyed this kind of leisure time, so much so that he feels that if he doesn't do something, he will really die.
Therefore, the two of them seemed to have swapped identities. Boom was clamoring to go out for a walk all day long, but Rikka kept a straight face and shook her head in response.
"Even if brother begs you, let's go out for a walk. Brother and I will take root in this room." Boom begged while taking the bread.
"No, no, no! Before I recover, I must not step out of the small courtyard, otherwise I will die in front of my brother!" Rikka waved her hand to interrupt the other's plea, and replied firmly.
"As long as you can let me go out for a walk, I promise you that I will take you with me wherever I go from now on, okay?" Boom sat on the wooden chair, feeling that the delicious food in his mouth was like chewing wax.
"Huh? Then... that's okay. But brother has to promise that wherever he goes and what he does, he will obey others' orders and don't mess around!" Rikka chuckled and nodded with satisfaction.
Boom smiled bitterly and bit off a piece of beef, thinking that he was becoming more and more failed as he lived. Not only was he beaten seriously outside, but he also had a devil-like sister when he returned home.
The afternoon sunshine was better than nothing. Boom stood by the window, already wearing the black robe. Now he felt that time passed very slowly, so slowly that it seemed to stand still.
Rikka, who was holding the notebook, curled her lips. This was the first time she had seen Boom so flustered that even the black wooden staff that never left his hand was thrown onto the bed.
"Brother, it's still early now, are you really going to stand here until dusk?" Rikka joked while eating the white sugar cake.
"Look! The sunset is moving! It's really moving!" Boom did not look back, his eyes were always fixed on the sun hanging in the sky.
Seeing this, Rikka stopped talking and continued to look through the notebook. What was recorded in it was exactly the human habits that she needed to learn.
Time passed slowly, but in the end it was lost in the night. Boom and Rikka walked side by side, and the mother-in-law masks on their faces had already changed to another look.
Rikka rejected the other party's proposal to go to the underground arena, and she was not interested in running to the Miracle Plains in the middle of the night. As for the plan to go to the dense forest, she simply forgot about it.
She planned to go to the nearby Lion Bar, so that she could learn from the bard and maybe meet another idiot noble.
Familiar black robes, familiar corners, familiar male and female duo, and unfamiliar faces. The boss Achilles was sitting at the bar, looking at Boom and Rikka with a strange expression.
Just when he was lost in thought, bursts of applause erupted in the bar. The source of it was the new bard.
The old man did not recite the lyrics tonight, but held two puppets in his hands and performed the art of ventriloquism.
I saw that his lips were tightly closed, but the puppets on his hands kept talking. This kind of performance is extremely old, but if you perform it occasionally, it will always have miraculous effects.
"Brother, please stay here well, I have to go to the toilet." Rikka turned to look at Boom and whispered. But her eyes were always fixed on a person not far away.
Boom nodded after hearing this, neither speaking nor making any movement. He was looking at the bard attentively, or at his throat.
Seeing this, Rikka stood up slowly, and as she passed the bar, she uttered a meaningful sentence. However, the person who heard this suddenly stiffened and followed closely.
The two came to the backyard of the Lion Bar. Rikka did not take off the mask on her face, but turned her hands into short blades.
It was only then that Achilles pulled out the thread from his memory, and what was implicated was that earth-shattering battle.
"You...are you Rikka? The little girl who fought with me half a year ago?" Achilles asked with his eyes widened in disbelief.
"I am who I am, it was me that day, and I am also me tonight. There is a faint thunder, a hazy sky, and I am right here!" Rikka thought for a moment, and then read out one of her favorite sentences.
"Then...that noble young man...was also killed by you?" Achilles asked again, his words full of horror.
"This question should not be asked by you as a holy war executioner. At least before you become a divine knight, you do not have this qualification."
After saying that, Rikka turned around and returned to the bar. The noise rang out again, the bard continued to perform, and Boom also lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
"Are you leaving?" Rikka stood aside and asked softly.
"Let's go." Boom left a few silver coins and then pulled the other person out of the Lion Bar.
As for the bar owner, Achilles, he had already returned to the bar. He was smiling happily, but no one knew why.
Returning to the courtyard in the slums, Boom no longer smiled as playfully as he did during the day. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the black wooden staff.
Seeing this, Rikka didn't say anything to stop him, because through this whole day's observation, the other party had recovered more than half, and at least cultivating magic power was definitely not a problem.
However, Boom did not do that. Under the strange gaze of the other party, he actually learned the ventriloquism of the bard.
Boom tried his best to close his mouth tightly, trying to make two different sounds at the same time. Rikka, who originally planned to laugh at him, found that the other party actually did it.
"Ah! Brother, are you planning to change your career? Let's sing a song first, I'll have money!" Rikka took out a few gold coins from the dimensional space and threw them at Boom carelessly.
"Nonsense! I'm practicing. If you're bored, go to bed first!" Boom exhaled the breath that was held in his throat and said helplessly.
"Cultivation? Is this a trick like practicing? Hahahaha!" Rikka was stunned when he heard this and asked immediately.
"What if I can cast spells in my body through ventriloquism, and achieve the purpose of releasing two spells at the same time or multiple spells? Even attack and defense arrays can be cast at the same time!"
Boom rubbed the gold coins and expressed his true thoughts with a smile.
"Then my brother is invincible! But is it really possible?" Rikka's eyes lit up, but then he asked suspiciously.
"It's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to God to plan things. How will you know if you don't try." After Boom said this, he continued like a bard's ventriloquism.
On a branch under the moon, Rikka was squatting by the fire, her face full of surprise. At this time, Boom could barely make two sounds at the same time, but he still seemed very stiff.
