 Chapter 616 Lanci and Thalia’s Summer Chat

　　　—This is Antanas Radio.”

“Hey, dear, today’s host is still me, Antanas.”

“Is the uneventful time so boring that it makes you sleepy?”

On a summer morning in August, a wooden house restaurant on the street was about to open.

 The sound of the radio station came softly from the window.

The sky is not yet completely bright, the stars are dim, and the cyan morning light often falls on the streets of Icerita, the capital of King Hutton.

 In the sleepy morning, we welcome the world dyed indigo.

 In the Cat Boss restaurant, Pranay was already standing in front of the bar, wiping the glass.

At the first and second floors of the restaurant, Antanas’ announcement can still be clearly heard.

 “Good morning Pranay.”

With a long and crisp "ding-ding-ding-ding" sound coming from the door, the thick wooden door was pushed open by a pair of hands.

 The breeze blew gently across the counter of the store, bringing a hint of coolness.

"Good morning."

Pranai put down the glass and said hello to Lanqi who came here early in the morning.

 “Where’s Sinora?”

 Lanchi looked around the restaurant, but did not see Pranay's sister.

“She accompanied Hyperion to the Duke’s Palace, and she probably won’t return to the store this morning.”

"oh oh."

 The two chatted briefly.

The interior decoration of the restaurant is simple and full of style. The wooden tables, chairs and floors exude a faint scent of pine. Some handicrafts and old books are placed in the corners, and the sofa that was previously brought back by the cat owner is placed on the second floor terrace.

Some time ago, Antanas was too energetic. Finally, Pranay helped her get a small broadcast magic device. Every day when the Cat Boss restaurant opens and closes, Antanas will turn on the broadcast to give Customers share stories.

 Over time, she also gained more fans.

  Recently, not only the Cat Boss Restaurant, but also the surrounding Ikerite customers will listen to it when they go home.

There are even many women who come to the restaurant to visit her or contact her for love counseling, especially the young students of Icerita College.

 "Is this week's "Ikerite Food Weekly" out?"

Lanchi caught a glimpse of a corner of the short bookshelf in the dining room.

"Out."

Pranay stretched out his hand to indicate the direction of Ranchi’s new issue.

 Lanchi quickly went to take out a magazine.

 The Mao Boss Restaurant has a high rating in "Ikerita Food Weekly" and receives many praises from regular customers every week.

 Recently, there have been comments about Antanas Broadcasting.

 The audience asked her many things about love, and even asked her to help guide how to get along with the partner, all of which achieved excellent results.

 At first it was just Antanas’s pastime.

Now she has gradually gained many regular listeners, so she cannot be absent.

 If she has something to do, she will ask Sinora or Thalia to cover for her.

“Everyone’s evaluation of Miss Sinora is that she must be a noble lady from some family. She is well-educated, gentle and elegant, and she will share more topics about literature with everyone.”

Lan Qi lay down in front of the counter, flipping through the pages, and started reading.

“Occasionally, it would be nice for her to replace Miss Antanas as the host, which can make people feel inner peace.”

“You are really good at judging people. You brothers and sisters are indeed from ancient and famous families. You can tell this kind of thing at a glance.”

Lanchi looked at Pranai and said.

 “That’s all in the past.”

Pranai smiled helplessly.

Lanchi turned the page of the magazine.

“And everyone’s evaluation of...Hanghang is—”

When Lan Qi read her name, her throat seemed to feel uncomfortable, and she coughed twice, and then directly skipped her name.

“I understand the truth, can you please ask the anchor not to eat late night snacks while working? I’ll make you hungry even if you listen to me.”

 “Pfft haha.”

 Lanci was flipping through the magazine and banging the table with laughter.

 He did not notice that Pranay did not smile at all this time, but silently wiped the cup.

Lanchi raised his head and looked at Pranai who was suddenly quiet. Before he could ask anything, he felt a chill in his back.

He turned his head and saw a pair of cold golden eyes of an absolute superior at the top of the stairs, looking at him.

Thalia clenched her fists.

 She now feels that Lan Qi can no longer act.

 In the past, this guy only thought secretly in his heart.

Now he had to tell her in front of her.

That expression is really **** good!

Thalia shook hands again, seeming to consider whether to teach Lanci a lesson.

“No, no, no, Tata, I believe that if radio listeners could see your face, they would definitely find that you are a lovely girl.”

Lan Qi quickly looked at her and said.

"Yeah."

She was stunned and let go of her hand.

Although Lan Qi had praised her for being cute several times, every time she heard it, she didn't know how to respond.

etc.

Thalia suddenly thought about it, what does it mean that you have to see her to think she is cute?

 She felt that Lan Qi was saying that she was nothing but good-looking.

 “Good morning, Tata.”

Lanchi smiled and said hello, interrupting her thoughts.

"Good morning."

Thalia's voice was emotionless, just as her face was expressionless most of the time.

She walked to the first floor, took out a box of biscuit-shaped pet food from the cabinet, and then walked toward the stairs.

For a time, the first floor of the restaurant became quiet again, and the radio program playing in the restaurant became the entire sound in the entire space.

"In the stormy season, in the bustling sea of ​​people, as long as you are there, I will be happy."     That gentle and intellectual female voice is like the night wind, soft and delicate, accompanied by carefully selected healing music, the melody is melodious and slow The flow, intertwined with Antanas's words, added a bit of warmth and tranquility to this morning.

“The weather is getting hot, summer is coming, and some stories are about to begin.”

 A moment passed.

　　　…”

Lanchi looked at Talia's back as she disappeared at the top of the stairs, made sure that she didn't seem to be angry, and breathed a sigh of relief.

 He said goodbye to Pranay briefly and walked along the creaking wooden stairs to the second floor of the restaurant.

Thalia, who was at the deepest part of the corridor, just opened the door. She glanced sideways and saw Lan Qi behind her, so she didn't close the door.

　　Until Lan Qi reached the familiar door, he gently knocked on the open door.

Thalia, who was feeding the little fox breakfast, raised her head. Although she didn't speak, her eyes meant she allowed him to come in.

She was sitting on the only armchair in the living room, with the fox's feed box and several newspapers on the small coffee table next to her.

This is the Demonic Moon Shadow Fox that Lan Qi brought back from the Northern Continent. It usually turns into a small animal in the store.

 At first, Thalia just looked at the fox from a distance without expressing any thoughts.

 Later, she began to feed the fox.

 Now it can be seen that she really likes this fox.

 Lanqi heard from Pranay that these days when Lanqi and Hyperion were away, Thalia's only spiritual comfort every day was to feed the fox, walk the fox, and sometimes even talk to the fox.

 It’s becoming more and more like providing for the elderly.

While Lan Qi was thinking about it, Thalia's eyes turned to him again.

　　　…”

Thalia just looked at him, and after a while she spoke,

"If you want to find Hyperion, you can go directly to the Duke of Alansal's Palace."

 Her tone sounded like she wanted to see off a guest.

Huberlian went out early this morning. Because she wanted to put the painting at the Duke's Palace and wanted to get something back from the Duke's Palace, Sinora accompanied Hyperion early in the morning.

If Antanas didn't have a radio program, she would have wanted to visit the Duke's Palace.

 The three of them have been playing well.

After Duke Milaya disappeared, there were some ancient enchantments in the Duke's Mansion that locked the rooms, and even Hyperion couldn't open them. However, Sinora had a unique anti-mage talent and was able to analyze and break those enchantments. .

 “I’m just here to find you.”

 Lanci looked at Thalia with sincere eyes and a confused voice and said.

　　　…”

Thalia glanced at him.

 She continued to feed the fox without saying anything.

 But there is no intention to drive him away.

The room was quiet for a long time.

 “Why did you come to see me this time?”

Thalia finished feeding the fox, picked it up and asked.

 Usually Lan Qi comes to her to learn demonic card making, and he only comes in the afternoon. He rarely comes to see her at Boss Cat's restaurant early in the morning.

 Now the two of them can talk to each other as well as they did at the beginning, and the meeting before leaving the Shadow World is no longer awkward.

Of course, the premise is that both parties should stop mentioning things like "I'm so cute that I want to eat you".

 “Have Hyperion told you about our experience in the Shadow World?”

Lanci asked.

“I only talked about it a little bit. She came back yesterday to wash herself up, chatted with me on the bed and fell asleep.”

Thalia shook her head.

“It seems she is most at ease staying with you.”

　　Ranci sighed.

"Why do you say that."

Thalia said puzzledly.

“Huberlian doesn’t seem to be the type to fall asleep easily, but she can fall asleep peacefully when you are by your side.”

Lanchi had only seen Hyperion sleeping soundly once, when she was hit by Kaliela's full power and fell into Gentle Land, and was sent back to the palace restaurant.

From what Calliera said, Hyperion often suffered from insomnia in the palace restaurant. In order to let the princess' body get a good rest every day, Calliera would secretly use magic to put Hyperion to sleep.

 Lan Qi didn’t know how to evaluate it. He just felt that the strict mother of the demon clan was really powerful. If the child couldn’t sleep, he would directly use magic to force him to sleep.

Compared to this, Thalia really looks like a loving mother.

 “Am I like a loving mother?”

Thalia suddenly asked.

 But she was not angry.

“Well, you are indeed very gentle to Hyperion, attentive and responsible. There is no reason why she doesn’t like you.”

Lanqi was startled and followed Thalia's words to explain.

He couldn't understand the astonishing speed of evolution of Thalia's mind-reading skills, and she could already read some of his thoughts intermittently.

 Fortunately, he has Shinora and Pranay's [Spell Breaking Mark] and [Truth Mark], which can weaken certain spell effects and detect magic.

 “Then do you want me to do the same to you?”

Thalia asked.

　　　…”

Lan Qi was stunned.

Just imagining Thalia treating him like Hyperion, and suddenly Thalia became gentle, like a good wife and mother, Lan Qi felt that her brain went blank.

 He has long been used to Thalia as she is now. If Thalia turns into something else, he won't be able to adapt!

 “It seems you don’t want it.”

Thalia frowned slightly and observed Lan Qi.

She felt like this guy was becoming a little bit damned again.

 But she suddenly discovered something.

It seems that compared to glaring at Lan Qi, sometimes treating him with extra gentleness can actually make him uncomfortable and even disgust him.

　　Although it will make you sick, you can have fun with him.
