Don't confiscate my citizenship

Late at night, the craze of the Lunar Festival at the St. Creation Monastery has faded away, and the light of the moonlight has gradually dimmed and disappeared, blending into the vast night of Brilda.

"You are really much heavier than Boss Cat."

Lan Qi hugged the big gray cat and walked along the corridor to the high priest's hall at the deepest part of the main hall.

"Meow meow meow!"

Thalia Cat struggled in Lanqi's arms again.

She was very angry, but she promised Lan Qi that she would stop talking when she got here. She could only warn Lan Qi like this.

Important figures from the Holy Monastery may appear here at any time.

According to the tacit understanding between her and Lan Qi, if Principal Violet keeps telling the truth later, there will be no movement from her. If she discovers a lie, she will immediately remind Lan Qi.

"It's like being coquettish, my cute little gray cat."

Lan Qi smiled and hugged the gray cat like a liquid blanket for half a moment, lowered his head and said.

"Meow!"

Thalia became even more angry, but when she heard Lan Qi call her a little gray cat, she didn't know why she seemed to lack the strength to resist.

If he called her so close and close to her face, she would definitely think that Lan Qi was crazy and would say some strange things.

But now they have one person and one cat, and unexpectedly they seem to be able to say things that are usually impossible to say naturally.

Only then could she hear Lan Qi calling her that.

Lan Qi really seemed to think of her as a cat.

He can always perfectly integrate into the environment and accept the facts extremely quickly. Even now Thalia thinks this adaptability is exaggerated.

She could only adapt with him.

"We should come neither too early nor too late."

Lan Qi estimated the approximate time and preached to the cat.

Violet of the Sixth Army Divine Water Beryl returned to the main hall before the end of the festival, and Lanqi took Talia to watch outside the main hall for a while, and then walked around in a circle. Now It should be close to the time that Secretary Naira arranged for him earlier.

As soon as he finished thinking, Lan Qi saw the familiar slender figure standing at the end of the corridor.

"Professor Landry, you are here."

Secretary Naila has been active near the main hall all day today. She is also working overtime today and needs to be with Principal Violet.

She was waiting for Lan Qi not far from Principal Violet's office.

"Miss Naila, thank you for your hard work. If I hadn't caused you trouble, you would have left work long ago."

Lan Qi quickened his pace, walked to her side and preached to her.

"It doesn't matter. I have to work almost every year during the Moon God Festival. Chatting with you and guiding you is the easiest part of the job. It's not even considered work."

Naira replied.

As the person entrusted with many rights by Principal Violet, she is also responsible for many coordinating tasks within the monastery.

She fished for a while this afternoon, and she actually didn't feel bad.

Especially when she saw that Landry had worked an extra day today, she felt much better instantly.

"..."

Lan Qi looked at the sly smile on Naila's lips as if nothing had happened, and it was hard to say what she wanted to say.

Why is it so difficult to beat workers?

He finally understood how happy Toliado was when he ran out with the cat in his arms today.

From just now, Naila's attention has been attracted by the big gray cat in Lanqi's hand.

"Professor Landry, you actually have a cat. I thought it was just little brown bread."

Naila tentatively said, this cat is too cute.

But she saw that the cat seemed fierce, and she became alert when she moved her hand slightly closer to it, so she withdrew her hand.

Compared to the little brown bread, this big gray cat seems to only want to be close to the professor.

"Meow meow!"

The big gray cat raised its paws and shouted in defiance.

She allowed Lan Qi to touch her which was already the biggest concession. No one else could touch her in cat form.

The most terrifying thing was Sigrid. Even in human form, she had to be held and smelled by Sigrid every day. If she turned into a cat, Thalia would not dare to think about what would happen next.

"I'm sorry, Miss Naila, it is quite shy and probably won't let anyone but me touch it."

Lan Qi apologized.

If it were any other cat, he might have tried letting Nala pet him.

But this cat is his master, an 800-year-old senior, and he really can't touch it casually.

"Meow!"

Thalia the cat raised her head alertly and looked at Lanqi.

Although it felt good to be protected by Lan Qi like an ancestor, she was convinced that Lan Qi's thoughts were not that simple.

"It doesn't matter. You let me touch the little brown bread last time, so I'm very grateful."

Naila replied casually.

Professor Landry almost always brings the fifth-level black cat with him when he is in class or doing administrative work on campus. Only today did he bring the big gray cat with him. He probably lent the little black cat to Al again today. Sarah and Ursula.

The secretary and the professor didn't know who took the first step, and then walked towards the principal's office.

As Lanci followed Naira along the corridors of St. Creation's monastery, staff and priests in college uniforms walked past them from time to time.

There were always figures of people doing the final inventory of the Lunar God Festival in the corridors the two of them walked through.

The gray cat became much quieter in Lan Qi's arms.

Although she was a little uncomfortable being held by Lan Qi, as long as she spent less than an hour quietly, her short mission as a cat would be over.

At the moment Thalia was thinking, Lanqi and Naila were about to reach the vast hollowed out area in the center of the main hall.

The emerald green lawn is like a soft velvet carpet, and the falling golden and red leaves turn into colorful gems, dotted in the open-air garden-like palace.

Naila led Lanqi through the garden and came to the quiet corridor paved with brown stone bricks.

Through the continuous colonnade, the plants could still be seen, until the shadows of the flowers disappeared, and they gradually walked into the area controlled by the high priest.

"arrive."

Naila stretched out her hand to indicate that Lan Qi could go directly to the door at the end. She had already made an arrangement with Principal Violet in advance.

She believed that Professor Landry was no stranger to this place. They had been here together a month ago.

"OK, thanks."

Just when Lan Qi was about to speed up and walk towards the room alone, the sudden sound frightened them both and stopped them in their tracks.

far away.

"Violet! It's all your fault!"

A man's passionate and angry voice came from the door of Violet's priestly hall.

Ranchi and Naila also heard the sound of slamming the table.

They both looked at each other.

Apparently Naila didn't know that other people would visit Violet's territory before Professor Landry's appointment.

It seemed that the other party had forced his way into Violet's office and found Violet, without even having time to open the barrier that blocked the conversation.

"As a high priest, I can't always make rash choices like you. Don't blame others for everything."

Violet's voice inside the door was rarely filled with anger, but it was more helpless.

She was also confused after being scolded so hard.

"Okay, everything you said is right. Talking to you is such a waste of my time."

After saying this, the sound of footsteps sounded, and then he slammed the door and walked out,

"The empire is what it is today because of you indecisive guys who always have some worries!"

He turned back angrily and cursed.

The young man who walked to the corridor of the main hall had slightly messy short dark red hair, and his fair skin and angular facial features were clearly visible under the hair.

His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his black eyes were slightly fierce, as if he was angry at any moment. Although he was dressed in casual clothes, he could not hide his aristocratic temperament. He had an angry and impatient look, but he maintained a straight posture and calm demeanor. All of them reveal his good upbringing since childhood.

Lan Qi looked at the dark red-haired young man in astonishment.

Because he noticed that after the young man walked out of Violet's office, he glared at him and Naila.

The young man's frowned brows and tightened mouth showed a trace of restraint, as if he was always reminding himself to control his emotions.

He held back his temper, glanced at the unknown but harmless professor, and walked away.

Today it seemed that whenever he saw a dog on the roadside, he would want to kick it.

After a long time, Secretary Naila watched the figure leave and completely disappear at the end of the corridor, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, Professor Landry, I didn't expect that the Tenth Army God Julius would be here today. This reckless guy must have forced his way into the main hall. I'm very sorry if it affected your mood."

Naila bowed her head slightly to Lan Qi.

When she mentioned the Tenth Army God Julius, her tone was quite unkind. Naila obviously held a grudge against Julius' previous rude attitude towards Violet.

Even though Julius is also the God of War, Naira is only partial to Violet and unconditionally supports Principal Violet, whom she regards as her best friend and elder.

"It doesn't matter, you can't control this kind of thing. It's normal for disagreements and quarrels between big figures like the God of War. Don't take it too seriously."

Lan Qi hugged the big gray cat and comforted Naila.

He also just recognized the dark red-haired young man in regular clothes. It was rumored that he was the most aggressive and victorious Tenth Army God Ruby Seat on the battlefield.

It seems that he was recalled to the empire for a hearing some time ago and went to a military court.

Julius, the God of the Tenth Army, Ruby, is the top heavy weapon master of the empire. He can easily suppress firepower on the battlefield. He is basically pure output. He has no fancy abilities other than output, and he does not even have the control ability that comes with heavy firearms. rare.

It fits this person's character very well.

"Okay, let's go find Principal Violet."

Naila preached to Lan Qi and led Lan Qi to a carved rosewood door.

Professor Landry has always been easy to talk to, but at times like this, he would in turn take into account the mood of the people around him. Naila increasingly felt that Professor Landry was a very good person to work with.

Naila knocked on the door lightly, and the crisp sound echoed in the silent corridor.

"Principal Violet, I brought Professor Landry over."

She just finished typing——

"Please come in."

The majestic yet gentle voice came slowly.

Naila helped Lanqi push open the heavy rosewood door.

"Thanks."

Lan Qi thanked Naila and walked into the grand hall with the cat in his arms.

As soon as you step into the threshold, the rich and fragrant floral fragrance hits your nostrils. The air is filled with the intertwined fragrance of roses, jasmine and violets, like a garden temple. The moonlight refracts in through the rose window, casting translucent silver-white waves on the marble floor. , like a beautiful oil painting.

Sitting under the rose window, the woman behind the desk looked at Lan Qi.

The moonlight casts a hazy halo on her fair cheeks.

"Professor Landry, I should have talked to you again a long time ago, but as you know, I was too busy some time ago and couldn't even return to Brilda."

Violet stood up slowly, smiled at Lan Qi who came in, and motioned for him to sit on the sofa.

She seemed to adjust her mood in the blink of an eye, dismissing the quarrel just now as a passing thing.

Violet, who returned to the principal's office after the ceremony, had already changed out of the light clothes she wore for praying and dancing, and once again put on a slim-fitting, graceful dark robe. Her long dark cyan hair, which poured down like a waterfall, was in harmony with Orchid's. Derry's sister Elsa is particularly similar.

"I was the one who delayed the principal's time."

Lan Qi nodded to Violet.

Secretary Naila did not come in, but waited outside the door and helped them close the principal's office door.

Compared to Lan Qi, Talia the cat in Lan Qi's arms was more nervous at the moment.

It was also her first time to be a cat, so she didn't know whether to pretend to be a cat or not, so she could only try not to speak and try not to move around in Lan Qi's arms.

Even so, Thalia can clearly feel that in addition to her noble status, Violet of the Sixth Army's Divine Water Beryl is also at the pinnacle of the empire. She is considered a general in their demon world. Even Yabo is He thinks he can't beat Violet.

"Julius must have scared you and Naira just now."

Seeing that the professor was in such a calm state, Violet told him the truth.

There is no need to pretend that nothing happened in front of a smart person like Professor Landry.

She was a little worried about Julius and Naira, because Naira also had a very stubborn temper. When Julius quarreled with her, Naira would not look good on Julius.

"Fortunately, Mr. Julius walked over quickly."

Lan Qi replied, holding the cat and sitting on the sofa.

"That's good. Alas, Julius has this temper. In fact, we usually have a good relationship, so he talks to me like this."

Violet exhaled softly and opened the soundproof enchantment on her desk.

She seemed to have calmed down.

Even so, Violet's eyes were still a little sad when she heard the harsh words from her colleague Julius.

"Don't take it to heart. It's common for friends to quarrel."

Lan Qi sat on the sofa, looked at Violet and persuaded optimistically.

Violet was picking up a box of snacks specially made by St. Creation Monastery of Luna Festival, walked to the opposite side of the sofa, gently stroked the back of the velvet sofa with her long fingertips, and sat down opposite Professor Landry.

The sofa feels soft and delicate, as if you are sitting on a fluffy cloud. The fabric under you is made of fine silk, exuding a faint fragrance of gardenia, which makes your depressed mood feel better.

"No matter what, when Julius calms down a bit, I'll go talk to him."

Violet opened the snack box, placed it on the coffee table, and looked at the big gray cat in the professor's arms.

"What a cute cat. I heard that Professor Landry also had a small black cat with a full fifth level, which protected Elsa. I didn't expect that there was also a big gray cat. It seems that you still like it more, even Bring it out, Moon God Festival.”

She said, observing the big gray cat.

The big gray cat in the professor's arms is plump and has long, fluffy and soft hair. The professor's fingers are stuck in it, as if touching long, soft marshmallows.

At this moment, it seemed a little reserved and nervous, curled up slightly in Lan Qi's arms, with a hint of resistance to strangers in its golden eyes.

"I'm sorry, principal. It's different from brown bread. Don't let others touch it. If it were brown bread, I would just hand it to you."

Lan Qi obviously saw Violet's love for the gray cat, and even specially brought snacks that both humans and cats could eat.

"It's okay. You can see it. It's very attached to you, as if it treats you as a lover."

Violet joked with relief as she leaned on the sofa.

The gray cat in Lan Qi's arms struggled. It seemed that Violet's words made her subconsciously stop being close to Lan Qi and wanted to stay away from Lan Qi. However, this situation would be further confirmed if she acted like a woman. Violet's words, she could only try to adapt to Lan Qi's arms.

"Can I feed it?"

Lan Qi's eyes moved to the snack box that Violet opened on the coffee table. The lid of the box had been opened by Violet. There were several pieces of fresh pastries inside. The cheese egg yolk puff pastry showed a perfect full moon shape, with fine sprinkles sprinkled on the surface. The white sesame seeds glow with a warm luster under the candlelight.

"Of course, you can bring two more boxes back later. I have so many that I don't even have time to eat them."

Violet agreed and pointed in the direction of the desk.

There are also some iron gift boxes piled on the table.

"It seems that you, the principal, are very busy today, and you are scolded by your colleagues as a result. Anyway, don't mind it too much. The empire is now in a critical period of change. The more interested people are in the empire, the more impatient they will be. ”

Ranchi said empathetically to Violet.

"Get used to it. Not everyone has a temper like Hyacintos. In other words, most of the military gods have weird personalities."

Violet leaned on the sofa and shook her head, looking at the professor with interest.

Professor Landry is also an easy-going person, generous, gentle and considerate of others.

If Professor Landry succeeds in becoming the top leader of the Empire New Energy Organization Committee in the next few days according to current rumors, then it will be a good thing for St. Creation Monastery, because Professor Landry is theirs no matter what. of the Monastery of St. Creation.

"So Mr. Julius, whom you regard as a friend, has a bright side even though he has a bad temper?"

Ranch asked Violet.

He took out a piece of snack from the box, broke it into pieces, twisted it between his thumb and forefinger, and brought it to the mouth of the gray cat in his arms.

A faint aroma of cheese and the sweet aroma of roast beef fill the air, mixed with the rich fragrance of flowers in the room, weaving an invisible web of temptation.

The tip of the gray cat's nose twitched. She knew that Lan Qi's chat about the Empire's Military God at this time was a rare opportunity to find out information about the Military God, and Violet's mood right after the quarrel was not that suitable for talking about urgent matters. It’s better to talk about trivial matters first.

But Lan Qi didn't seem to want to pry into anything. He was just chatting, naturally, with sincerity in mind.

"You seem to be able to see the more unusual side of things... But you are right. Julius is full of shortcomings, but he is very loyal and talented. He just looks like a fool. At first At the Imperial Mechanical Academy, he even got better grades than his senior, Jasper, the Fourth Army God, in many subjects. He actually has a pretty good mind, you know.”

Violet chuckled twice when she heard Lan Qi's words.

Jasper, the Fourth Army God Jasper Seat, who graduated a few years earlier than Julius, was a mechanical genius that had not been seen in the empire for many years. I thought that many of the records she left would not be broken in a short time, but it turned out that A few years later, Julius became a rising star in another field, and later also became the military god of this generation.

The big gray cat in Lan Qi's hands was somewhat resistant and felt overwhelmed by the sudden feeding.

It tilted its head slightly, whimpering low in its throat, and was very hesitant to accept the offer.

"If you can learn the Imperial Machinery, that's really awesome."

Lan Qi said in surprise.

He studied with Professor Borao and realized how difficult it was to learn the [Mechanical] attribute, and he couldn't master it anyway.

"Aren't you not very good at it? You are an expert in magic engineering."

"There is a hierarchy of knowledge and expertise, and mechanics are my weakness. I mainly study energy. I can't do anything by myself. I need everyone's help."

While Lan Qi was chatting with Violet, he was not discouraged, but patiently waited for the pastry in his hand to be accepted by the gray cat.

The free hand stroked the cat's back time and time again, conveying a reassuring warmth to the cat.

"No wonder Duke Dax values ​​you. Is this how you view your achievements?"

"Achievement itself is actually meaningless. The key is what it can bring to future generations."

Under Lan Qi's touch, the gray cat's tense body slowly relaxed, its breathing gradually became steady, its golden eyes narrowed, and the lingering fragrance of snacks lingered on the tip of its nose.

It felt that Violet seemed to be looking at it from time to time, curious about why the cat didn't eat.

It would be a bit awkward to attract Violet's attention like this.

Finally, it carefully stretched out its pink tongue and tentatively licked the pastry on Lan Qi's fingertips. The sauced barbecued jerky and cheese burst into its mouth. The big gray cat found the long-lost comfort and greedily bit into the entire pastry. There was a chewing sound in the mouth.

You are pretending to be a cat anyway, so just tell yourself that you are a cat and don’t think about anything else!

Thalia told herself.

"Although after what you said, I seem to be able to see more of the good side of Julius, and I don't want to be angry with him anymore, but after thinking about it carefully, I feel that the truth of these recent rumors on campus may be a little... Improvement, Professor Landry, you are really good at handling interpersonal and public relations.”

Violet commented.

She was just wondering if cats didn't like this snack, but it seemed like they actually liked it.

"Don't break me, Principal Violet."

Lan Qi shook his head.

The scandals he heard today were outrageous. The iteration speed of the version had exceeded his imagination, but it should have come to an end.

He habitually fed the cat in his hand, while gently stroking its fluffy coat. His fingertips slowly combed its neck, back and belly, making the cat purr softly.

"In the final analysis, Mr. Principal, you have a good temper. It seems that this kind of noise is not the first time."

Ranch said to Violet.

Listening to Violet talk about Julius, the Tenth God of War, I felt like a mother coaxing her son.

"Professor Landry, are you thinking of something rude?"

Violet stared at Landry, as if she knew what he was thinking, and asked.

But she didn't mind. She just felt that this person was not completely gentle and honest. Sometimes he would think of things that made people angry and laugh at the same time.

"No, I was just thinking. Sure enough, the wolves have good personalities. Thank you for taking care of my sister Elsa. She is also a kind child."

Lan Qi thought so from the bottom of his heart, so he also said so.

"Is that so? I will be praised by you inadvertently, but I do feel that your affinity is very special and can't be disliked. Especially small animals will approach you without any defense. Maybe it's because you recognize that all things are animistic. I won’t hurt them from the bottom of my heart, and they rely more on instinctive intuition than humans, so they are willing to let down their guard against you and treat you as a friend.”

Violet looked at the beautiful gray cat in the professor's arms and said to herself.

The big gray cat completely shed his reserve and immersed himself in the long-lost care, making comfortable sounds.

Under the young man's unconscious caress, the gray cat felt unprecedentedly relaxed and satisfied.

The cat also closed its eyes and adjusted its posture, lying lazily on his lap, actively catering to his palm, allowing his palm to easily reach a position that makes it more comfortable.

It looks completely different from when it first entered the door.
