About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah
Page 168
“Thank you for the ammunition~”
Orson, who had transformed into a 30mm machine gun on the roof, showed a harmless smile, and at the same time controlled Pause to prepare the crossbow arrow he had just received for throwing.
“…”
“Abandon, abandon ship!!!”
boom–!
“Wooji!”
A loud noise came from the streets of Longmen, even scaring Lin Yuxia, who was curled up in a ball, into making strange noises.
“That won’t stop them for long.”
After temporarily scaring off the pursuers with the illusion of “at first glance it looks loud, but in reality the accuracy is distorted and the power is dispersed”, Orson returned to the passenger seat.
“It’s enough to shake off the first group for now. I just contacted Is for support. There are far more mafia members in the city than these. And because of the recent riots, the roads to the city center are blocked.”
Texas continued to turn the steering wheel and twisted and turned on the road at a very fast speed.
“What does that mean…?”
Lin Yuxia finally recovered a little from the shock just now. She held the backrest of the Texas seat tightly with both hands, stuck out half of her head and asked in a low voice.
“It means that we need to find a place to wait for the Angels of Exiah to pick us up. You won’t be able to return home for the time being.”
The car came to an intersection, and Texas decisively turned the steering wheel in the opposite direction of the ‘city center’ and headed straight for the port area.
However, the car had not been driving for long when it broke down with a “bang” from the wheels and a “chirp!” from Lin Yuxia.
Orson suddenly discovered that the little mouse seemed to be very afraid of loud noises. He thought that if he lit a quantum firecracker next to her, she would jump higher than a firecracker.
“…Get off the bus. It’s still some distance from here to the port.”
Texas looked at the damage to the vehicle and found that both wheels were flat. He could only sigh and signaled Lin Yuxia and Orson to get out and walk.
“Remember to pay more, Miss Lin.”
Texas repeated it after leaving the car.
“I know… well, what’s with all that mafia stuff?”
Lin Yuxia followed behind Orson and Texas. Her clothes had become much more messy, and because she was wearing high heels, the little mouse had more difficulty walking than the other two.
“If you don’t know, then we’re even less likely to have any clues.”
Texas responded indifferently, but judging from the frequency with which she chewed Pocky, Orson vaguely felt that Texas might also be a little unhappy with the current situation.
After all, it was originally just a way for the rich second generation to take a Didi taxi, but now it looks like Didi is going to be used to beat people up.
“…You don’t need to know the specifics.”
Lin Yuxia spoke in a low voice, and it seemed that she had some idea why she would receive such a grand welcome.
Texas said nothing, but bit off the pocky in his mouth.
“Do you need help, Miss Lin?”
When the atmosphere between Texas and Lin Yuxia was awkward, Orson came over.
“What help?”
“Um, let’s say I noticed you were having trouble walking. I could carry you if you don’t mind.”
“……Need not”
“In that case, at least let me help you with your shoes.”
“What shoes… Ugh!? What are you doing?”
Lin Yuxia didn’t understand what Orson said, so she was led by Orson to sit on the fence by the roadside.
“Just stretch your leg out for a moment, it’ll be fine soon – don’t kick me suddenly!?”
“You touch a girl’s legs the moment you disagree with her. Is that what Penguin Logistics is—huh?”
Lin Yuxia was startled by Orson’s sudden “touching her legs” behavior. She immediately kicked around, but soon she noticed that her original high heels had been treated in some way and turned into flat shoes.
“It will be more convenient to move this way, Miss Lin, please try it.”
Orson brushed off the shoe prints on his clothes, stood up, bent down slightly, and stretched out a hand to the little mouse and said.
“Um… OK, OK.”
Lin Yuxia blinked, clearly overwhelmed by the boy’s impeccable gentlemanly manners. Her anger instantly vanished, and the little mouse instinctively reached out to help Orson stand up.
At this moment, the other party’s aura seemed to suddenly transform into that of a graceful Pegasus knight, or an intellectual prince of hereditary nobility.
After all, having trained in the Zaolu family/Casimir/Lingguang family, Orson naturally has a very good grasp of etiquette and service.
“It’s much more convenient…”
Lin Yuxia stepped on the soles of her feet and found that walking was indeed much easier after her high heels were turned into flat shoes.
It seems that I have misunderstood this young man. He didn’t have any improper thoughts about me, but…
Lin Yuxia raised her head and wanted to say something to Orson, but when she looked up, she found that Orson had run to Texas.
“How about it, Texas? Do you think I can give you five stars for my service attitude? It hurts!”
“Don’t think about it at all!”
Lin Yuxia realized that Orsen didn’t regard her as a “cute and delicate girl” at all, but as a job requirement of “please give good reviews if you are satisfied with the service”, so she angrily picked up the cut heel on the ground and hit Orsen on the back of the head.
“Fool.”
Texas grumbled lightly at Orson, who was tearful and confused after being hit. Then the group headed towards the scheduled meeting place.
After a while, they arrived at the port, where huge shipping containers filled the previously empty area.
“Then just wait here for the Angels of Exiah to pick us up.”
After arriving at the destination, Texas sent the location via phone and then found a random container to lie on.
“…”
Unlike Texas who looked calm and composed, Lin Yuxia leaned against the railing with a very heavy expression.
“Why are there so many people… Has the information been leaked, Father, Uncle Wei Yanwu?”
“Are you OK?”
“grumble!?”
Lin Yuxia, who was thinking, was startled by Orson who suddenly appeared beside her, and even her tail turned into a straight antenna.
——In some ways, it really is like a mouse…
Orson sighed as he looked at the angry Minnie.
“Don’t suddenly appear behind me next time… you hear me?”
After Lin Yuxia found out that it was Orson, she shook her head and put on the cold and aloof look she had when they first met.
“I feel like you seem to be struggling and hesitating, Miss Lin. Are you okay?”
By checking Lin Yuxia’s tuned melody, Orson noticed that beneath Lin Yuxia’s cold appearance, her melody was distressed and confused, as if she didn’t know how to continue playing.
“—”
Lin Yuxia’s eyes flickered for a moment. She couldn’t remember the last time someone asked her, “Are you okay? You look distressed and worried.”
Although this young man is a little naive, he seems to be able to perceive his own inner thoughts.
If it were him, maybe I could confide my confusion…?
“Yo! Texas, Orson!”
“grumble!?”
The cheerful and energetic voice of Angelic Angel suddenly came out, which naturally scared Lin Yuxia again.
“Puff!”
Orson was also unlucky, as Lin Yuxia’s swinging tail hit Orson’s face hard.
“You should be the ‘cargo’ this time, right, Miss Lin Yuxia?”
The Angel casually extended his hand to greet Lin Yuxia.
“…”
Lin Yuxia, who was frightened by the sudden appearance of the Angel, naturally did not give her a good look. The little mouse frowned slightly and started the cold mode again to protect herself.
“You’re late again, Exia.”
Texas jumped lightly from the container and walked over to Exia.
“Well… I took out some mafia guys on the way, so I was a little delayed. Anyway, as long as the result is good, it’s okay~”
Exia gave Texas a thumbs up, and behind her, Croissant and Adoulu also came out. Everyone had some traces of dust from the fight on their bodies.
Orson was actually quite curious about how Kong fought, with electronic music?
Then can I change my career and become a revealer or something?
“Well then, how was Orson’s first mission evaluation, Texas?”
Exiah leaned close to Texas’ shoulder and asked Texas with a smirk how Orson performed.
“Let’s talk about it when we get back. Have you contacted the Guard Bureau?”
“Of course, at least the Mafia won’t be fighting openly in the streets like before.”
“Let’s go, Miss Lin. This time we will escort you to your destination.”
Texas glanced at Lin Yuxia and motioned for her to get in the car. This time, the group’s vehicle was an armored jeep that looked safe.
Nothing unexpected happened on the way this time. It seemed that the Guards had indeed effectively suppressed the arrogance of the Mafia, and everyone arrived at their destination effortlessly.
“Remember to give a five-star review, Ms. Lin~ Uh huh!?”
Orson waved and said hello to Lin Yuxia who got out of the car and was about to return to the mansion which looked extremely expensive, but was shot back by the security guards who were ordered by Little Mouse with a crossbow.
“…”
Texas just watched Orson being humiliated as usual without saying anything.
“Well, now that the mission is accomplished, Texas~?”
Exia stuck his head out, impatiently asking Texas in the driver’s seat what he thought of Orson.
“I agree.”
“Great! Orson, the most difficult Texas has agreed!”
Hearing Texas’ permission, Exia looked at Orson in surprise and said.
“Ah ha ha……”
Orson smiled awkwardly but politely. In line with the spirit of “loving what you do”, he thought he would really be abducted to Penguin Logistics this time.
Of course, the entrance exam is more than that. Orson also has to pass the test of Kong and Croissant.
After a somewhat noisy day, Orson temporarily separated from Penguin Logistics and prepared to go back to see how Chen and Tallulah were chatting.
Just as Orson was walking into a remote and untraveled route because he was unfamiliar with the road, he sensed a certain “breath”.
“That’s you, the Lupo tribe over there!”
“What—huh!?”
Boom!
Orson was extremely surprised when he saw the white-haired Luper girl suddenly appear in front of him from a height, holding two strangely shaped long swords in her hands and knocking him to the ground.
On the one hand, the opponent actually avoided his “frequency detection” and even threw him to the ground, with two swords pressed against his neck.
Orson didn’t know how she did it. So far, no one he had met had been able to do this – perhaps Alina, who had unlocked the Originium technique, could do it.
On the other hand, these were the words spoken by the white-haired Rupert after he had knocked him down.
“Hahaha, you really have the aura of Texas. You and her were the ones who caused such a big commotion today, right? But now I have a sword against your throat – can Texas do that?!”
The white-haired Lupo laughed.
