Mygo, you guys seem to be getting a bit heavy-hearted.

[Host detected as potentially vulnerable...]

'roll! ’

'Practice copper addiction to death! '

【(⊙x⊙;)】

I'll come back later...

The system silently went off to cry.

"Yanming, treat me to a matcha parfait."

What a strange little girl.

"Young lady, this is only our first meeting, why do you think I would agree?" As he spoke, Yanming waved and called over the waitress, "Another matcha parfait, please."

However, the other person looked in Le Nai's direction, as if recognizing her. After turning around and confirming between the two of them, they spoke to Yan Ming:

"Excuse me, sir, has Xiao Le Nai caused you any trouble? We are so sorry, our store will compensate you. Please don't be angry with this child, she means no harm."

"Rakuna-chan, didn't we say you can't just ask customers for this or that? That's very impolite." After apologizing to Yanming, the shop assistant immediately began lecturing Rakuna.

“But Rinrinko, this person is not… Ouch! That hurts.” Ryuna covered her head.

Ms. Rinrin retracted her fist and said irritably, "Didn't I tell you to call me Rinrin-neechan? And you're not allowed to treat guests like this. If you don't want it, you don't want it. If you want a parfait, just tell me."

“Ouch—but Rinrinko… Sister, this person is different. He will buy me food, right, Yanming?”

Yanming watched with amusement, but then noticed that Le Nai's gaze had fallen on him again, so he immediately smiled and said:

"It's alright, miss. Please bring her a matcha parfait, I'll pay for it."

"Hmph." As if to prove that what she said was right, Rina put her hands on her hips and looked at Rinrinko.

"What are you so smug about... Honestly, remember to say 'thank you' to this customer, Rina-chan." Rinrinko sighed helplessly, gave Yanming an apologetic look, and then turned to prepare the parfait.

"The violent woman is gone, Yanming, thank you."

Rinrinko's voice drifted out from the kitchen: "I can hear you from behind, Rinna."

Ah, Renai is furious.

Yanming turned to look at the white-haired girl whose pupils were dilated in fright: "Xiao Le Nai, where are your parents?"

“Outside,” Lenai replied immediately.

Yanming was taken aback: "...What I mean is, did you come here alone? Aren't your family worried?"

Lena turned her head like a cat shaking off water: "I'm not worried."

She can distinguish between good people and bad people, so bad people can't catch her, and neither can her parents who don't let her eat parfaits.

"Hiss—" Yanming tapped his forehead in distress, pondering whether he should try to contact Le Nai's parents to explain the situation.

But soon, his clothes were gently tugged.

Turning her head, Le Nai was looking at her nervously: "Yan Ming, don't tattle. I'll go back after I finish my parfait."

Because I wanted to eat parfait and also play guitar, I left my parents who were shopping and ran to the ring. If I get caught and taken back...

Four golden characters appeared in Le Nai's mind.

No!

I haven't eaten the parfait yet! And I haven't played the guitar!

"Bang!" Le Nai slammed her hands on the front desk and jumped up from her seat.

Yanming was startled and asked, "W-what's wrong?"

"Play the guitar!" Lenai replied, running to the guitar case in the corner of the store.

Grandma had said before that once she successfully entered the third year of junior high school, she would buy her a whole set of effects pedals and a handcart that even a cat could use.

look forward to.

But now, I'm going to play the guitar.

The white-haired girl eagerly took out the old guitar, slung it over her shoulder, and picked up the pick.

"Den-"

In just a second, Yanming's eyes sharpened.

This cat has the makings of an emperor!

As a fellow guitarist, Yanming could sense the ease and skill in Le Nai's movements. Although her body hadn't fully developed due to her age, it was almost certain that her future achievements would be remarkable.

This child... could it be that he started practicing guitar in the womb?

He just went out to buy some food and drinks, and he actually ran into an SSR?!

[Um, Host... about the strategy mission...]

'roll. ’

【(╥﹏╥)】

After silencing the braided system that was always interested in minors, Yanming began to quietly appreciate Le Nai's guitar solo.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Matcha, so refreshing!

A wildly confident rhythm, a flurry of dancing fingers.

When the song ended, Yanming gave a heartfelt round of applause.

"You played well."

Very impressive, extremely impressive

If Yanming were to hear the guitar through a cloth, he would definitely think that it was played by a well-known professional guitarist.

At this age, at this level

While it may not be considered absolutely unique, it is certainly one in a million.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Le Nai put down her guitar and came closer: "Yan Ming."

"Hmm." He had a general understanding of the child's character.

This simple way of communicating is probably related to her upbringing.

how to say?

It's somewhat similar to a small lamp.

If these two children were locked in a room alone to communicate, their conversation would likely be equivalent to garbled code encrypted twelve layers deep, or the whispers of evil gods in the Cthulhu Mythos. Anyone who could understand it would probably be considered a god.

“Matcha parfait.”

"The shop assistant is making it. Would you like to sit down and wait a moment?"

“Okay.” Le Nai nodded, then suddenly remembered something and looked up at Yan Ming with great interest, “Yan Ming.”

"Ok?"

"You play the guitar?"

Yanming smiled and said, "I only know a little bit, not as much as Le Nai."

Le Nai blinked her beautiful heterochromatic eyes, one yellow and one blue, and said almost definitively, "Yan Ming is lying."

"This isn't lying, it's more like modesty," Yanming corrected her.

"modesty?"

"Well, it's just..."

At this moment, Rinrinko walked over with a plate, and Yanming stopped talking for a moment when he saw this.

"Gentlemen, the matcha parfait is ready. Please wait a moment for the strawberry one as well."

"Thank you for your help, shop assistant."

"You're too kind." Rinrinko replied to Yanming while ruffling Lena's head, messing up her short white hair until the latter let out a dissatisfied snort before she stopped and went back to the kitchen.

"Rude woman!" Lena licked her teeth angrily, then, ignoring her messy head, hugged the large cup of matcha parfait on the table and raised the spoon high.

"Ah...mmm...matcha, dried oysters...mmmmmm..."

It seems they were completely immersed in it.

It was the same when he was playing the guitar; this kid seems to become incredibly focused as soon as he starts doing something.

But perhaps that's the origin of her exceptional guitar skills.

Even more difficult to surpass than genius is the genius of hard work. Little Lena has honed her guitar playing to such a high level at such a young age, which must have come from a lot of hard work.

"Clang." The stainless steel spoon fell into the empty ice cream cup with a crisp sound.

"Yanming, aren't you going to eat?"

Le Nai immediately set her sights on the portion in front of Yan Ming; it was clear she wanted to eat it too.

She wanted to eat one matcha tea.

It will cause diarrhea

But it was really fun.

Although it will cause diarrhea

But it was really fun.

Matcha = cool.

Cool!

So cool!

Yanming, of course, wouldn't ignore that eager look that was about to gleam, and stopped him:

"No, it's for another girl, Lena can't eat it."

For some reason, Le Nai listened to Yan Ming's words immediately, stopping her hand from reaching for the matcha parfait and tilting her head to look at his face:

"Others, girls? What kind?"

Yanming thought for a moment and said, "If I had to say, I would probably describe one of them as 'interesting'."

Hearing Yanming say that, Le Nai instantly became interested, grabbing Yanming's sleeve with her hand that had just eaten a parfait and shaking it repeatedly:

"An interesting girl!"

Seeing the strong sense of déjà vu, Yanming couldn't help but speak up, "Um... Xiao Le Nai, let me ask you a question."

Lenai shook her head vigorously up and down.

"I wonder if anyone has ever told you that you give off a cat-like vibe?" Yanming asked tactfully, without uttering the more fitting word "wild" before "cat."

Little Lenai is like a wildcat.

But stray cats also have no home to return to.

Even if Le Nai doesn't care, Yan Ming will.

“Many people say that, hmm…” Lena closed her eyes and tapped her chin with one finger. “‘Wildcats wandering near space,’ Lena heard it while following behind those savages. They must be talking about me.”

"...That shouldn't be a savage, right?"

but

space?

Yanming had a vague impression of the name; it seemed to be the name of a live house, and he had met the proprietress... or rather, the owner, once.

She was a very "kind" old lady. I wonder how she is doing now.

"Look." Le Nai handed a green pick with a logo on it to Yan Ming.

Upon seeing the pick, Yanming ruled out the possibility of it being a name-matching device: "It really is Space."
