"Hmm......It seems that you are basically out of the realm of human beings."Meilin said sarcastically while preparing to take out a camera from the bedside table.

"What is that......."Swain felt powerless

"Congratulations, you are becoming less and less human!"

"I'm going to hit someone......"

However, the change stopped when it reached the position of the wrist, and then the starlight and red-black changes slowly disappeared and returned to the original skin.

"Ah, stopped."Mei Lin was a little regretful because she hadn't taken any photos to make an observation diary.

Uh-huh.~~~

Then Sven's stomach made an alarming cry.

Swain lowered his head and touched his stomach, and then fell straight back under Melly's dull eyes. He stared at the ceiling dullly, and then said feebly:"Belly.".......hungry........"

"Forehead......"Meilin was stunned when she heard the sound............

Second floor.

After opening the door to the previous storage room, what Kallen was most concerned about was the black box from before, but before she could get a handle on it, Xiaoxue said with a wry smile:"I'm sorry......This is my thing too......."

In this regard, Kallen was like a child who had her beloved toy taken away, but as a knight, she happily gave it to Xiaoyue

"Thank you so much!"

Xiaoxue couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief as she held the long black box.

Then she found the cloth bag that had previously wrapped the black box and put it back in.

Kallen looked at the actions on the other side and looked down at her feet. Are there these junk-like treasures that don’t know what they can be used for?

The whole person seems to be lacking in interest.

"That, Miss Xiaoxue?"

"Just Xiaoxue, you are my saviors, you don’t need to be so outspoken."

"So Xiaoxue, I was very curious before, what is in that black box?"Karen felt that if she didn't find out the truth, her heart would be like being scratched by a cat, and she wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

"Forehead......"Speaking of this, Xiaoxue looked embarrassed.

"There are many gems inlaid on the outside of that box, and there are many symbols painted on it. The shell alone is worth a lot, so wouldn’t the contents inside be priceless~" Kallen looked like a serious Phantom Thief. Generally speaking, he showed considerable interest in such treasures.

"Well, actually......"

"Well, actually? Actually it is?"Karen's eyes shone, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

"actually.....I haven't opened it, so I don't know what's inside."Xiaoxue replied awkwardly.

"Eh?"

"Isn't this your thing?"

"this.....In fact, it is something from the ruins that our family bought a long time ago."Xiaoxue gently touched the black box

"But it is of great significance to us, so we spent a lot of time trying to open it, but failed. The only clue is the text here, which should be some kind of rune. Finally, it was interpreted It should mean something like a lock"

"Later, due to some changes, so......"

Xiaoxue smiled awkwardly. Obviously, there was no need to explain what happened next, because her appearing here was the best explanation.

"I see....."Kallen nodded.

It turns out that she used to be the eldest lady of a certain family. No wonder she has such a slender figure. Unlike the daughters of poor families who have been working since childhood, there are more or less calluses on their hands.

Something happened at home. It's so pitiful........

When Karen sighed like this, she suddenly thought of Sven

"Ah~! In that case, just show this thing to Yue!"

"He must know him!"

Immediately Kallen wanted to step forward and show the black box to Sven downstairs, but she was directly stopped by Xiaoxue.

"Don't!"

"This, let's do this for now. After all, I don't know whether the things inside should be opened or left like this........Anyway, I would like to ask you to keep it confidential first."Xiaoxue's tone was low, and the human voice in the gem also agreed with her decision.

After all, the things inside are likely to be dangerous, just like the things in the previous boxes, if they are handed into the hands of people who don't know the details, Who knows what it will be used for?

"this.......Well, I won't tell anyone about it."Karen nodded after pondering.

"So, let’s clean up this place quickly and don’t keep the Mr. Magician below waiting. Um, Miss Phantom Thief?"

"Haha, you don’t need to call me that, just call me Ka.....Forehead."Karen just wanted to introduce herself, but she didn't know how to introduce herself well.

Do you want to introduce yourself?

But Swain didn't say that it's better not to do that before leaving the church's sphere of influence.

What if the other person is someone related to the church? ah?

"Well, Miss Phantom Thief, you don’t have to force yourself."Xiaoxue also saw that the people on the opposite side all had something to hide, otherwise they wouldn't be so secretive.

"Sorry, I still need to go to Yue and ask for permission. Kallen said apologetically with her hands clasped together.

She knew that Swain had the ability to judge whether a person was lying and trustworthy just by relying on facial micro-expressions, so he was responsible for all the negotiations along the way, which made Bushan Kallen and Gan Yu, who had deceitfully communicated, were really relieved.

"it does not matter.......anyway."Xiaoxue shook her head and felt that this was the right time to inquire about Sven.

My sister had said before that the gem that the person gave to the person in front of me had the same symbol written on it as the box. That person must know what it said. What is it? Get to know him better and see if you can get him to help regardless of past grudges. It doesn’t matter what the cost is.

"Miss Phantom Thief, what is your relationship with Mr. Magician?"

"with him......Forehead."

This question brought out Kallen's difficulty, and her figure froze slightly.

"me and him......."Kallen thought for a moment and realized that she didn't quite understand, yes, what kind of relationship do we have? friend?

Um.....This is for sure, but......Is it limited to this?

Um, it's like, no, it's an absolute no.

I believe that neither Kallen nor Swain simply regard each other as their friends.

Above that......More than friends, lovers......Uh huh huh.......It must be less than full, right?

But when Grandpa Arthur handed me over to him before,......this......

Even though Kallen knew little about love, and even said that it was not even considered as such, Kallen, who was a complete novice, knew that the conversation between Grandpa Arthur and Sven before was a complete recognition of Sven and her entrustment to him. , which can be regarded as gaining the approval of the family.

And Swain also agreed very seriously, so now the two of them should count.......

Karen has never thought about this question seriously, but now that someone has asked it, it is impossible for her to force herself not to think about it!

Therefore, the scene where Grandpa Arthur handed himself over to Swain before, and he seriously accepted it, cannot be erased from his mind! no! Don't let your imagination run wild!

I still don’t know what Swain thinks!

"I....I......"

Kallen's face was red at the moment, but because the face shown now was fake, there was no difference in her complexion. Kallen could only be seen to be very shaken.

Seeing that Kallen was speechless, Xiaoxue also tried to explain the previous explanation.

"Could it be......Are you and him?.........Father-daughter relationship?"

Xiaoxue can only get along with each other based on the way the two get along and the age gap between them.

"Eh?"Karen came back to her senses, her bright eyes filled with confusion.

This answer is far from perfect!!

"Is not it?"

"I think you get along quite casually, and with the age gap........"Xiaoxue was still quite surprised, but in line with the principle of politeness, her voice was very low.

"Not at all!"

"he's mine......Friend, friend......"For the last two words, Karen's voice seemed particularly shaken, and her words were stumbling.

"friend?"

"A year-end friend or something like that?"Xiaoxue nodded clearly. The combination of the Phantom Thief and the Magician seems to be.....Still a good match.

Only then did Karen realize that the communication had been a bit inconsistent since the beginning. At the same time, she also noticed her own face in the mirror on the side, and suddenly realized

"No, no, it was wrong from the beginning"

"S-uh, Yue is only a few months older than me. We are the same age."

"Eh? peer? true and false! ?"Xiaoxue felt that her consciousness was greatly shocked.

The image of the people in front of her and Sven emerged in her mind.

This doesn't look right!

It's like one person is a middle-aged social uncle, and the other looks like he is still in high school. A female high school student!

You told me that these two people only have a few months of birthdays apart!?

"Um, that......"Xiaoxue coughed twice and turned her head slightly to hide her embarrassment.

"Maybe it's a bit rude, but I still want to ask, Miss Phantom Thief, how old are you this year?"

This question is very important!

Is the person in front of me a middle-aged man who is well-maintained, or is Swain too anxious to grow up? After all, this anxiety is just like his peers riding bicycles while he drives a formula car.......
