"Um!"

Anne couldn't understand her mother's strange reaction today.

But she still expressed the most sincere thoughts in her heart.

"Anne will always be with her mother! Never, never be separated."

"And daddy."

Listening to her daughter's words, Amorin couldn't help but burst into tears.

She held Annie's hands a little tighter, as if she wanted to rub her into her body.

"Ah~ Mom, I feel so uncomfortable!"

Annie, who felt some difficulty breathing, couldn't help but let out a painful gasp.

Only then did Amorin react and quickly let go of Annie's little body.

Seeing the tears on her mother's face, Anne thoughtfully stretched out her little hand to wipe them away one by one.

"Mom, don't cry! When dad comes back later, he will spank mom's sister-in-law."

Anne pretended to be a little adult and repeated what Amorin had said to her before.

Looking at her daughter's sensible little face, Amorin couldn't calm down for a long time.

Her heart was filled with mixed emotions, as if a five-flavor bottle had been knocked over, and she didn't know how to tell her daughter this cruel truth.

Look at your daughter's face quietly.

In a daze, Amorin seemed to see Gray's appearance in her body.

Gradually, she became crazy!

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Annie stretched out her little hand and waved it in front of her mother's eyes.

"Ah, it's okay! It's okay!"

After coming back to her senses, Amorin quickly wiped away the tears on her face and quickly sorted out her inner emotions.

"Although Gray left me, I still have Annie."

"For Annie, I have to cheer up."

"Mother's responsibility" prevented her from overindulging in sadness.

"Baby, it's time to eat! Let's eat first."

"Huh~ But daddy hasn't come back yet!"

Annie bit her finger and tilted her head, which was really cute.

"Uh!" Amorin was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer.

She could only hold back the sadness in her heart and said calmly:

"Dad, Dad is temporarily busy and won't be back in the morning. Let's eat first!"

Amorine made up a random lie to fool Anne.

Anne, who was only four years old, naturally couldn't tell the truth from the lies.

After hearing my mother's reply, I believed it to be true and stopped asking further questions.

"oh!"

However, it can be seen from her angry little face that the little girl is not in a beautiful mood at the moment.

Even though Amorin has made up her mind to be strong, this kind of thing is not easy.

As soon as Amorin entered the kitchen, she couldn't control the sadness in her heart, and two lines of tears fell down her cheeks.

"Mom, I'm hungry! Why haven't you come out yet?"

I don't know how much time passed, but Annie's milky voice came from the front hall.

Only then did Amorin, who was immersed in sadness, come back again.

"Here it comes! Wait a moment." Amorin replied loudly.

............

In the vestibule of Baron Isis Castle.

"I said...how did you two end up like this?"

Zoro looked at the dark-faced Kahn and Ike with curiosity, and also noticed the worker bee alien in Kahn's hand.

"Lord Sauron, do you know the creature I accidentally encountered in the wild last night?"

Kahn lifted the worker bee alien that was dragged on the ground.

"Tsk tsk! It seems that you are also very lucky!"

"Tell me how you solved it."

Sauron did not explain to Kahn and the two, but instead asked about their experiences.

As a guard, Kahn naturally cannot disobey Sauron's orders.

He told the whole story from beginning to end without reservation.

From Kahn's mouth, Sauron also learned the specific situation.

This coincided with his guess of the location of the alien lair.

However, Zoro felt a little sorry for the wheat fields in his territory that were burned by flames.

He also knew that this was something he did only as a last resort.

Just the burning of large tracts of wheat fields will undoubtedly reduce the winter tax of the Barony of Isis to the lowest point in history this year.

Although I don’t really care about charging less in winter tax and charging more in Sauron.

But so much food that was about to mature was destroyed overnight, which made him feel a little distressed.

And the aftermath also made Zoro feel a little headache.

Because this means that he has to take money out of his own pocket to make up for the losses caused by Kahn.

It's funny to say that Sauron is generous to some extent, but he's also as tough as an iron rooster on some aspects.

"Okay! Okay!"

"I know everything. You don't need to worry about the follow-up matters. Let's go back to eat with Ike first."

"Let's eat early today, we'll have action then, gather the arsenal!"

"Ask York about the specific things! Including information about this creature." Sauron shrugged his head and waved his hand feebly.

It's just that he was calculating in his mind the specific expenditures needed for subsidies after the fire.

This made Sauron's heart bleed continuously, and he had no intention of talking to Kahn.

"Yes, Lord Zoro!"*2

The two of them also saw that Zoro had no intention of nagging them any more, so they retreated with good sense.

Moreover, the two of them, who had been busy putting out the fire for half the night, were already so hungry that their chests were touching their backs.

After getting Zoro's order, he turned around and walked towards the "canteen".

It is said to be a canteen, but in fact it is just a temporary place for the castle guards to eat.

After seeing Kahn and the two leaving, Sauron also turned around and walked towards the castle.

Because he was also busy and didn't sleep for half the night.

It's tragic to say that Zoro has never had a good night's sleep since his soul completely adapted to his predecessor's body.

Either I had some strange dreams at night or I was addicted to watching expansion packs.

Even halfway through watching the movie last night, I had to go out and kill mice.

Now Zoro is an all-nighter, but not physically, but mentally.

Taking advantage of the rare free time after the midnight incident, Zoro returned to his room with a depressed look on his face.

As soon as he returned to the bedroom, he lay on the bed like a dead dog.

It's just that Sauron didn't notice that it was covered by the branches and leaves of the tree nest.

A pure white flower sprouted its head quietly.

At the same time, the flower pot holding the tree nest cracked a gap again.

Compared with two days ago, the cracks on the surface of the flowerpot have become more dense.

The gradually growing tree nest can no longer be accommodated by this small flower pot.

The surface of the soil in the flower pot is covered with layers of dark green "moss".
