I! Cleaner!

Did a corner of a dress just flutter?

Hearing the reminder from the Aquarius Branch Chief, the female cleaner hesitated slightly, but she didn't immediately try to catch someone. Instead, she instinctively looked towards Queen Veronica. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

What made her heart tighten was that a figure who had just been happily conversing with the envoys had disappeared into the crowd, while Queen Veronica, amidst her exchanges with the envoys, intentionally or unintentionally kept glancing in this direction.

It's over...

Recalling the recent conversation, the female cleaner suddenly felt chills all over her body.

Although it could be said that there were reasons, in a certain sense, her father was indeed the one responsible for the death of Leon's parents, making him an orphan. If Leon had heard this while hiding behind the pillar, she really didn't know how to face him.

Listening to the hurried breaths behind the pillar, imagining the pained and angry expression on Leon's face and how his gaze would shift from warmth and closeness to coldness and distance when he looked at her in the future, the female cleaner's heart twisted.

Knowing full well that the person should be behind the pillar, yet at the thought of what she was about to face, her feet seemed welded to the ground, unable to move an inch.

...

Due to her exceedingly special identity and the early death of her mother and prolonged illness of her father, the female cleaner grew up under the care of her granduncle. Over these years, not to mention peers to play with, she didn't even meet many "normal" people.

The people she interacted with the most were the maids and servants she encountered when entering and exiting the palace, or some officials and ministers. These people were respectful but never close to her.

The rest were naturally the cleaners from the Aquarius Branch, but those who had long endured the influence of abnormal objects, even if not paranoid or obstinate, often had some psychological issues. Even if they had the patience to humor the children for the Aquarius chief, they didn't know how to manage it.

Leon, who from the beginning had intended to befriend her and was adept at entertaining children, was the first peer she had met over the years whom she could approach closely.

Considering the similarities in their circumstances, comparable talents, both being Level 3 cleaners, as well as reserve board members of the Clean-up Bureau, and even nearly being paired by the Pisces board member, Leon had gained a significant sense of acknowledgment in her heart and naturally occupied an important place.

For someone whose romantic feelings had not yet awakened, whose interest in food far surpassed that in men, this feeling had nothing to do with love. However, it was naturally categorized into friendship, making him her first and only friend.

For her, who had never had a peer playmate growing up, this new friend who suddenly intruded was undoubtedly invaluable, even capable of making her set aside a large slice of cake for her friend in the midst of happily indulging.

Even if she couldn't resist and took a couple of bites on the way to find Leon, leaving the cake, initially the size of a watermelon, down to the size of a fist.

However, to be able to restrain such a voracious appetite erupting from the depths of her soul during her gluttonous lineage's awakening and save two small slices of cake, sufficiently proved her regard for this friendship. It's just a pity…

She feared she would lose this friend.

In an instant, countless thoughts flooded her mind. Ultimately, a clear realization dawned on her that this rare friendship would inevitably drift away from her, and the female cleaner's eyes reddened instantly.

But remembering from the Aquarius chief about Leon's painful experiences after the loss of his parents, her legs heavier than stone, finally moved with great effort little by little.

Her mother had said, the more one dislikes facing something, the less one should choose to avoid it!

Using the table for support and moving two steps, the resolute female cleaner bit her lip and stumbled quickly towards the column.

Although there were reasons for the situation, ultimately it was her father who made him an orphan, so she should at least apologize!

Even if she couldn't earn Leon's forgiveness, even if she would be hated by him from now on, with his gaze transforming from reluctant and disdain to hatred and dislike, she still had to… had to… ugh…

She really wanted to cry.

Tears welling in her eyes, summoning her courage, she turned behind the pillar recklessly, extending her arm abruptly to grab the evading Leon, bowing deeply as tears brimmed her eyes, she apologized to that blurred figure:

"I… I'm sorry… wah!"

(PД`q.)·.'゜

Unable to hold back her tears, she leapt forward hugging him, burying her face in Leon's chest, smearing snot and tears between his inflated bosom, and sobbing sadly she said:

"I didn't know… sob… didn't know it would be like this… sob sob… Leo… wah… can you please not hate me? you… huh? why is your chest so big?"

"I… I don't know why it's so big either…"

Feeling the bra soaked with tears, the female cleaner who was embraced like a little bear with her waist tightly hugged by Layla, couldn't help nervously saying:

"Maybe… maybe because I liked milk when I was little? And… I often ate bean cakes too?"

What?! Eating bean cakes can enlarge… wait, who are you?!

Squinting her eyes tightly to squeeze out the excess moisture, the female cleaner looked at the unfamiliar panicked woman in front of her, startled, she asked:

"Where's Leon? Shouldn't Leon be behind the pillar?"

"I… I don't know either."

Bravely struggling timidly twice but unable to break free, the captured Miss Zhuangpo with her chest smeared with snot, could only respond tearfully:

"I'm a cleaner from the Virgin Branch. Everyone going to the northern border is gathered, and the chief asked me to notify Mr. Leon.

Then I saw a silhouette here, which seemed a bit like him, so I came to check, but he wasn't here… This… this little miss, I really didn't mean to eavesdrop, can you please let me go?"

"..."

Looking at the plainly dressed, panic-stricken woman in front of her, resembling a startled fawn, the female cleaner gradually released her arms, feeling slightly dazed.

So, Leon wasn't behind the pillar? But this…

Glancing at Miss Zhuangpo's ample bosom, roughly estimating the magnitude, and recalling the "face feel" when she buried herself in it, the female cleaner couldn't help gritting her teeth, a strand of blue vein popping on her fair forehead.

This woman about nine times my size?

Damn it! So she was the one behind the pillar all along? Leon wasn't here? Didn't hear what I said to granduncle either?

Then why was I crying like this?!!!
