I! Cleaner!

"Zi~"

Um?

Halfway through his sleep, a familiar noise suddenly sounded in his ears, vaguely like the movement when he was about to obtain a badge. Leon couldn't help but wake up instinctively from his sleep. However, until he sat up straight and lifted his blindfold, he still didn't wake up. You can wait until the prompt to get a new badge appears.

It's strange. If it's not a badge, what is the movement?

After looking at the already dark sky outside the window, and then at the dim nightlight inside the airship, Leon couldn't help but frown slightly, and began to wonder if he had just heard a hallucination, but...

"Zi~"

Leon followed the subtle noise and found that the clothes on the female cleaner's chest bulged strangely.

? ! ! !

No... what does this mean? Do you have something to tell me?

"Well..."

As if she felt something strange in front of her, the female cleaner who was sleeping covered with a blanket and drooling all over her body snorted vaguely. Then, under Leon's speechless gaze, she put her hand into her arms and touched her twice. He took out a small mirror with a round back.

"Grandpa uncle?"

After rubbing her sleepy eyes and looking at Director Aquarius in the small mirror, the half-asleep female cleaner asked with a somewhat straight gaze:

"What... Haqie... what's wrong? Why are you looking for me so late?"

"Meili! Wake up!"

After taking a look at the female cleaner who was curled up sideways on the chair, obviously a little dazed from sleep, Director Aquarius in the mirror couldn't help but frown, and then informed with a serious expression:

"There is something strange happening underground in Jehol City!"

? !

After hearing Director Aquarius' words, Leon's eyes narrowed instantly, while the female cleaner's eyes suddenly widened, she threw off the blanket and sat up, grabbing the small mirror and asked:

"Uncle? What happened underground in Rehe City? Are you in danger?"

"What danger could I be in?"

Seeing his niece's anxious look, the Aquarius director in the mirror calmed down, and then replied in a gentle voice:

"Although I am already old, no matter how old I am, I am still the director of the Zodiac Branch. What danger can happen in my own territory?"

"..."

Indeed, Rehe City is within the blessing range of the Aquarius Star Palace. If Uncle Grandpa goes all out, there is basically nothing that the Pillars and Gods can do against him, but there is no need to worry too much about his safety.

After considering the current situation, the female cleaner couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. However, looking at the steaming underground hot river in the mirror and Director Aquarius with his back slightly hunched in the small mirror, she quickly couldn't help but worry:

"Uncle, didn't the General Administration inform us that there is a molten tunnel leading to the center of the earth in the Rehe River underground in our Rehe City? If the survivors of the center of the earth pass through the stone..."

"Wait a moment."

After interrupting the female cleaner, Leon grabbed her hand and turned the small mirror over, facing him. Then he stared at Director Aquarius inside, narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"Director Balto, I am Leon, Leon Lane."

"Oh, I know you!"

After looking at Leon's appearance through the steaming mirror, the figure was obscured by the thick mist of the underground hot river. Director Aquarius, whose appearance looked a bit blurry, smiled and said:

"Meili has been pampered by her family since she was a child. In addition, I have too many things to do and don't have much time to teach her, so now she can't walk when she sees delicious food... Haha, she must have given you a lot these days. Cause trouble?"

"Uncle grandpa!"

Unexpectedly, Director Aquarius actually revealed her secrets to her face. The female cleaner couldn't help but blush, and then she couldn't help complaining:

"Don't talk nonsense! I'm very ladylike after eating!"

"..."

After hearing her words, Director Aquarius in the small mirror couldn't help hissing, and Leon, who was looking suspicious outside the mirror, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

This sentence is not a lie. After all, after you eat to full, the [Calming] blood in your body will take over. Your demeanor is indeed very ladylike... But with your terrifying appetite of three hundred per cap, how much can you eat throughout the year? Back?

"Sir Balto!"

After trying hard to take two deep breaths and refraining from complaining about her, Leon asked in a deep voice as he looked at the steamy small mirror in front of him:

"The water vapor over there is too heavy and I can't see you clearly, so if it's convenient, could you please wipe the mirror over there?"

"Um?"

After hearing Leon's request, Director Aquarius was slightly startled at first, and then reacted. He rubbed his sleeves that were wet with water vapor on the blurry mirror there, and then said slightly apologetically:

"Before sharing such important information, you should confirm your identity first... Haha, old man, I'm old, so I didn't expect this. Besides, I saw you guys very clearly here, so I didn't even think about wiping it off. It really doesn't matter. Sorry."

Although the mirror surface is still a little blurry after being wiped, it is much better than the previous situation where the figure was hazy and it could only be confirmed that it was a human being.

And through the female cleaner's small mirror, he carefully looked at Director Aquarius's attire and appearance. After finding no major problems, Leon couldn't help but feel relieved, and then nodded and apologized:

"You're welcome, I should say sorry. I was a little too worried just now."

"No, no, it's right to be cautious!"

Seemingly appreciating Leon's actions, Director Aquarius in the small mirror smiled and praised:

“If you want to be an excellent cleaner, you don’t just have talent. You also have to learn to use your brain more, and you have to be cautious in doing things.

Although little Meili has outstanding talents and has already reached the level of a third-level cleaner when she was only five or six years old, her shortcomings in this area are really serious, so I have never dared to let her do tasks... "

"Uncle Grandpa!"

"Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore!

Sigh...you kid is so stubborn! I was extremely stubborn when I was a child. I told you that scented candles cannot be eaten. If you have to say they smell sweet, they must taste sweet, and then I just opened the candle holder and took out the candle inside..."

"Ouch! You still say that?!"

"Ah? Can't you talk about this too?"

"Of course not!!!"

…

Maybe I'm overthinking it... right?

Looking at the blue-haired old man in the mirror who had offended Mellie with his unscrupulous words and had to comfort her in return, Leon's doubts could not help but ease a little.

And when the female cleaner was completely annoyed, pouted and stopped talking, staring at the small mirror intently, Leon, who temporarily put aside his suspicion, looked at the blue-haired old man in the mirror and directly reminded:

"Sir Balto, is it time for you to talk about the issue of the underground hot river?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, when people get older, they always like to talk about the past."

After laughing and making a haha, Director Aquarius in the mirror looked slightly solemn, and then said:

"The things I want to inform you are actually similar to what the General Administration wants to inform you.

I discovered that there is a molten tunnel leading to the center of the earth hidden in the underground hot river of Rehe City. The King Slaughter Club may have found this molten tunnel before us. They seem to be preparing to pass through this molten tunnel. , go to the stone marrow world located in the center of the earth! "
