Her smile was sweeter than any candy he had ever tasted before.

Seeing his dazed expression, Xiaobaihe figured he probably hadn't recovered from his grief.

So he made a gesture of encouragement to him.

"My godfather once said, 'Don't be afraid of others looking down on you, be afraid of not living up to your own potential. Others' opinions don't matter, what matters is how you see yourself. When you stop, don't forget that others are still running... Keep going... Cheer up.'"

Fengdu: "???"

I'm Xiaobaihe's godfather, right? When did he ever say that to her?

Hearing Sayuri's words, Hiroki remained clueless, but a different light appeared in his eyes.

Lina smiled slightly and tossed the Morat Rat in her arms aside.

Morat Mouse: "!!!"

She walked up to Hiroki and said with a smile, "Come on, little one, let me take you to buy a new pair of pants!"

She had just learned from the child that he had come to the zoo with his friends, so no family members were with him.

His friend had already gone off to play elsewhere.

Upon hearing this, the little boy finally came to his senses and awkwardly declined, saying, "No, thank you!"

Lina realized that the boy's pride was the cause of his distress, so she didn't say anything. Instead, she took his hand and led him toward a department store next to the haunted house.

This department store has everything, but it has a lot of pants.

The shop owner was clearly a shrewd man; he knew there would be people who would be terrified, so he stocked this horse.

With a pained expression, Megumi picked up the Morat Mouse from the ground and couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Lina is really something!"

The mouse is so cute, how could you drop it!

Feng Du looked at the big, fat rat, a hint of sympathy flashing in his eyes.

He hadn't been much better off than this before, and his older sister often threw him around like that, which is why he decided to learn martial arts.

For no other reason than to prevent my older sister from accidentally dropping me and killing me!

Zong Fang's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile, "Does the captain really like this big rat?"

Upon hearing this, Horii immediately corrected him, "Commander, that's not a big rat, it's called a Morat rat, a very rare animal. By the way, where did Lina get this kind of rat? She might end up in jail!"

Zong Fang glanced at the chubby boy and thought, "You're not much better than me. You're just as noisy as a mouse."

Daigo was taken aback. He asked in surprise, "Go to jail?"

"Yeah, haven't you read the World Animal Protection Law?" Horii retorted.

Daigo scratched his cheek awkwardly, "Hehe... I haven't seen it!"

Watching them play, Megumi Kijima smiled and said, "Who doesn't love little animals!"

Xincheng immediately agreed, saying, "I like it too!"

Daigo was taken aback, looking at Shinjo in surprise, "You actually have a kind heart?"

Hearing this, Xincheng rolled his eyes at him. "What, you don't like it when it's served?"

Everyone: ((′-_-)-_-)-_-)

So that's what you like!

Yamamoto Binda immediately invited, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Why don't you come to my house for a meal!"

Yamamoto Daichi realized what was happening and said with a smile, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, my house is right there!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the villa next to the ranch.

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing and were instantly astonished.

"Yamamoto, your family is so rich!" Shinjo exclaimed.

Yamamoto scratched the back of his head and said with a grin, "No way, this is just an ordinary, unremarkable house. You all earn more than me, so you must all own your own houses, right? Don't make fun of me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, and they all looked at Yamamoto Taichi with the same eyes they had used to look at Shinjo.

((′-_-)-_-)-_-)

Seeing their displeasure, Yamamoto quickly explained again, "Really, I'm not lying to you. This villa was built by my father a long time ago. Compared to modern styles, it's really quite ordinary!"

Hearing his son Versailles' words, Yamamoto Binda couldn't help but laugh and scold, "What are you saying, you little rascal!"

He then turned to the crowd and said, "To be honest, after this kid graduated, I planned to have him come back and inherit my villa, this ranch, and hundreds of cows. But this kid insisted on making his own way in the world."

At the time, I didn't pay much attention and let him pursue his dreams. I never expected that this kid would actually be selected for TPC.

As he spoke, a proud smile appeared on his face.

Working at TPC is like having a secure job, a high-paying job that every working person dreams of.

"Ha ha……"

"Yes yes yes!"

Everyone was both amused and exasperated. It turned out that Yamamoto's careless Versailles-like personality was inherited from his father.

Chapter 729 Maybe Shinjo and the others are also fighting monsters, so we can be considered to be fighting side by side.

Meanwhile, the old lady, along with Director Sawai and the others, had already bought the groceries and returned to their doorstep.

The old woman's house is like a holdout; it's surrounded by high-rise buildings, but hers is still an old-fashioned house.

Just as she was about to open the door, the old woman suddenly remembered something. She turned around and said to the group, "Oh right, there's another person in my family. About two weeks ago, he collapsed not far from my house and I took him home. He's been living with me ever since."

He's a little afraid of the dark, wearing a strange leather suit, and a bit shy, but he's a good boy, so don't be afraid!

Kirino Makio looked at her strangely.

Is this old lady's eyesight not very good? She looks like that, yet she still thinks the other person is a good child wearing a strange costume!

He leaned close to the director's ear and whispered a few words.

I told Director Sawai what I had just seen with the "X-ray vision".

It's just a perspective; it's not like he doesn't have one.

A look of surprise flashed across Director Sawai's face. "Are you serious?!"

Kirino Makio nodded and said, "That's right, that guy is learning to cook!"

In his 'line of sight', the guy clumsily used his fingers to measure the amount of water in the rice cooker.

The old woman looked at Kirino Makio strangely, "What did you just say?"

Because the conversation had been very quiet, she hadn't heard it clearly.

Director Sawai thought for a moment, then smiled and stepped forward, saying, "It's nothing, we're just curious about who this 'good kid' you're talking about is!"

Hearing this, the old woman's face lit up with a smile again.

"He's such a good kid. Last night, he tried to persuade me to leave Earth, saying that some kind of terror is about to resurface!"

As she spoke, she pushed open the door and walked inside.

"Come in, I'll go cook for you!"

"Grandma, we're already feeling bad about coming here to freeload, so let us do the cooking!" Director Sawai quickly said.

As he spoke, he was about to step inside.

Ryosuke Sanada couldn't help but stop Director Sawai, his eyes filled with seriousness.

There are aliens here. What if the aliens harm the director and his team?

He lost Ebloon's abilities, but he was unable to deal with the giant alien creatures.

Director Sawai noticed his worry and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we'll be fine!"

He looked into the house, and the light within his heart did not sense any malice.

Clearly, the alien inside was indeed a good child, just as the old woman had said.

As their research into the Light of the Mind continues, they have also developed several practical tips.

Besides being used as a support role, it can also be used as a good/evil detector.

“But…” Sanada Ryosuke said, unable to contain his worry.

Before he could finish speaking, Yoshitsuji Yoshitsuji walked in, fanning himself with his fan.

He followed the old woman directly into the kitchen, where he greeted an alien wearing an apron with a peculiar appearance who was studying a rice cooker: "Hello, alien!"

Upon hearing this, the alien was taken aback and couldn't help but look towards the doorway.

Upon seeing the person approaching, he was instantly startled and took several steps back.

Tetsuji Yoshioka of TPC! ?

He grabbed a kitchen knife from the side and pointed it at Yoshitsugu Tetsuji.

This unexpected turn of events also surprised Kirino Makio and Sanada Ryosuke.
