"Brother, brother, do you know that everyone here has a problem?" Rikka connected a few slices of bacon into a string and then waved it and said.
"I'm not from Sisai, but if you continue to treat food as a toy, be careful of being reincarnated as a pig in your next life." Boom reached out and grabbed the bacon streamer and replied softly.
"Brother, what's going on today?" A moment later, Rikka asked while clearing the plates.
"If you said it's something other than cultivation, then I don't." Boom held the secret monthly magazine, his eyes always fixed on the introduction of Xisai Hongbing.
Although this kind of inter-principal matter has nothing to do with him, as a magician, he should still learn more about it. At least he should hear about it.
"Then let's go out for a walk. I heard from Sister Christine that today is the monthly auction day of the High Court. And it's time to change my brother's mage robe."
Rikka tilted her head and looked at Boom expectantly. Boom nodded at this. Since he was now in the Cisse High Court, he naturally wanted to walk outside more.
Half an hour later, Boom and Rikka got into the crowd. Although it was still morning, Boom was pushed around.
Seeing this situation, Rikka not only had no intention of helping, but instead imitated Boom's embarrassment. She was seen holding Boom's hand, her body swaying.
"Stop playing, I'm going to be squeezed to death. Fortunately, doesn't the auction start in the afternoon? What are we doing out so early?"
Boom pulled Rikka to his side, and then the two of them walked towards the street with fewer people. Panting, Boom took the juice and handkerchief from Rikka.
However, at this moment, a piercing siren suddenly sounded. Four city guards were seen surrounding the criminal in the center, about to send him to prison.
"Brother, I'm a thief, I'm your companion." Rikka sat on the stone steps, stretching her neck.
"You're a big-headed guy, if you talk nonsense, you might get caught and thrown into jail." Boom shook his head and replied with a wry smile.
The criminal was caught on the spot for stealing bread. The shop owner was very angry at this time, and the city guards naturally had to act in accordance with the laws of the principality.
But among the crowd of onlookers, voices of doubt gradually emerged. This argument became more and more intense, and even Boom and Rikka, who had witnessed the whole incident with their own eyes, almost believed it.
"Oh my, it's such a pity for such a cute little girl. It's just a few pieces of black bread. If you can't sell it, you'll be feeding the dogs."
"Let me tell you, a girl who loves her so much will definitely not steal anything. This boss definitely fell in love with her, but he framed her because he was rejected."
"This is basically a conspiracy. Maybe even the city guards have received the benefits. How could it be such a coincidence that I was caught stealing a piece of bread."
"So what if she really stole the bread? Who would want to be a criminal if they weren't hungry."
"That's right, I just stole a small piece of bread. The boss is also a shop owner, so why doesn't he have any structure at all?"
The few words of the onlookers continued to spread, Rikka opened her mouth, and the snacks she had not finished chewing fell to the ground.
But Boom narrowed his eyes, and his previous relaxed expression was gradually replaced by coldness. As a senior criminal in Aogu City, how could he not have encountered this kind of situation?
"Brother...what does this mean? The person who stole things became the victim?" Rikka asked in confusion. In her impression, such a person would be sent to a dark prison.
"Let's go, it's almost time, let's go to the auction." Boom pulled Rikka, who looked confused, and walked toward the center of the city.
Along the way, Rikka bought some new clothes for the two of them, and also bought food for tomorrow. Boom also expressed his thoughts on the little girl.
"Why should other people's "three views" be true? You should treat your own "five senses" kindly. In addition to making yourself happy, anything else is wrong."
"Rikka, you have to remember that you can never be like her at any time. Even if you are forced to become a criminal one day, you must be responsible for your actions."
"Everything a person does is a choice. Naturally, no matter the outcome is good or bad, he has to bear it alone. Opportunism is a skill, but it must not be used on yourself."
"The criminal is the criminal, and it has nothing to do with her appearance, her excuses, or her original intentions. Hunger is not a reason, suffering is not an excuse, and being born with a good skin is not a sophistry after all."
"When you are born as a human being, you must have your own judgment. The three views cannot follow the five senses. Handsomeness and beauty only represent innate advantages, but they cannot be used as the standard for judging right and wrong."
Boom expressed his opinion, which was a concept he had formed day by day since he had memories. Although he didn't know whether his idea was correct or not, it was the truest judgment in his heart.
Boom was once a criminal and was beaten until his head was bloody. However, he never denied his crime and never evaded the punishment he deserved.
"What about Rikka? Will Rikka be able to have privileges because of her beauty in the future? For example, she won't have to pay for groceries?" Rikka patted Boom and asked with a smile.
"Maybe, but can you get off my back first?" Boom was hunched over, but Rikka was strangling his neck.
After hearing this, Rikka jumped to the ground, but she held onto Boom's arm. Although she only spent a short time with humans, she always obeyed Boom's words, even those actions she couldn't understand.
The young and mature Boom knows this very well. If he couldn't see Rikka's idiotic perfunctory behavior, he probably wouldn't expect to be promoted to an intermediate magician.
Sighing, Boom can do very little now, but if he wants to prevent Rikka from going astray, he can only set an example himself.
He never imagined that one day he would be able to influence other people's lives, because in his view, there was endless hell behind him, and when he looked around, he saw only the same scum as himself.
Boom knew that he was not a qualified brother. Instead of giving Rikka a stable home, he accepted Rikka's care every day.
He really wanted to do something for the other party, even if it meant tearing open the blood scab with his own hands. However, this thought was interrupted by a burst of cramping pain. Boom lowered his head and looked at Rikka and his only relative.
"Hey, I don't know what my brother is thinking, but it must be related to Aogu City."
"Although my brother is terrible at fighting, doesn't speak well, and doesn't know how to cook, he is still a very nice person, so be happy. After all, today's matter has nothing to do with us."
Rikka said softly. Although these words are a bit straightforward, they are Rikka's true thoughts. In her eyes, Boom is her light, the figure she strives to catch up with.
However, Boom was stunned when he heard this, and then slowly stretched out his hand and quickly pinched Rikka's face. The screams were drowned out by the noise, and Rikka was trying hard to squeeze back her tears.
"The food I cook is delicious, but you have no taste." Boom patted Rikka's little head and replied with a smile.
