"Maybe it's about the incident in Car No. 3!"
"But Nightmare was killed by the Earl!"
"Could your Excellency go and ask about the professor's situation?"
It would have been better if he hadn't asked. As soon as the question came out of his mouth, Hitzfeld immediately experienced the stereo effect produced when adolescent girls gathered together.
"Don't worry, it shouldn't be a big deal." She tried to comfort the children. "They went towards the front of the car, right? I'll go check it out later."
"Is the Count going to renew the ticket?" Vera's sharp eyes saw that she had two crumpled bills in her right hand, which was holding the dog leash.
"It doesn't have to be now..." Hitzfeld immediately understood what he wanted to do, because it was obvious - Vera had a handful of tickets in his hand, and he must be waiting for the flight attendant here.
"Why don't you just give them to me and I'll renew your tickets for you two?" Vera immediately suggested, "This way you'll have some time to rest. Please don't refuse. This is one of the few things I can do."
This kid is very polite.
Xia Yibing immediately found Vera pleasing to the eye and desperately hoped that the girl would agree.
"Okay then." Hitzfeld was not a hypocritical person. He loosened the woman's hand leash and handed two warm bills to Vera. "Thank you for your help."
"Where's your little girlfriend?"
Vera had just taken it when Xia Yi said something coldly.
"And your good buddy, why didn't you see those two people?"
"Esther is not his girlfriend!"
A somewhat frail girl wearing large round-framed glasses nearby immediately protested.
"Their relationship isn't there yet—I mean, this definitely doesn't count!"
"is it?"
Xia Yibing showed an interested smile, "So they have just started, and haven't even reached the stage of kissing yet?"
"Wow~~~~"
As Vera covered her face, a group of girls cheered in shock or excitement.
"So the legend is true?"
"Vera? Do you like Esther?"
Stupid girl.
Hitzfeld kept staring at the girl with glasses who had protested at the beginning, and saw that she was also covering her face with a look of despair. It was obvious that she realized then that she had said the wrong thing.
"What's your name?"
Xia Yibing continued to torture the girl.
"Wow... My name is Nette..."
"Nette what?"
"Nette Watson..."
"So Miss Watson, are you and Miss Esther Murphy good friends?"
"Yes...we are best friends!"
"I can sense your concern for her, so is she sick?"
"Yes! She is feeling a little unwell now, and the professor has specially allowed her to stay in the carriage!"
"Grande has a stomachache." Vera came up quickly and said, "He should still be in car 2. You might run into him if you go forward."
"It may be a little presumptuous... Count, but if you see Grande, please tell him to come and join us as soon as possible."
Just like that, after saying goodbye to the group of middle school students, the two turned around and walked towards the front of the car.
"Young man~"
Xia Yibing came over and expressed her feelings.
"I can smell the milky scent on them from that distance. Their fur hasn't even grown out yet, and Robo dared to take the risk by bringing them out."
As if she had opened a box of conversation, Xia Yibing kept talking. She either complained about the group of kids who wanted to get close to Lily but didn't dare, or made fun of "young people's love being too timid".
"It's pointless." This was the comment from the security chief.
"Every day, every day, I would receive telegrams and messages mentioning the loss of someone, and I would always think, 'Oh, this is not just a loyal agent we lost,' they could be someone's lover, someone's husband, someone's wife... parents... everything."
"He should have just told the girl."
The woman sniffed a little.
"No one knows what the future will be like, he should explain it first - and then consider other things."
"Children living in Wayne have no concept of threats and suffering." Hitzfeld said calmly, "From this perspective, it's a good thing that Robb brought them out."
Port of Vien.
Except for the big commotion caused by the Death God Tree, the rest of the time, this place is always covered by the blessing of the Mechanical Sun. People living in Wayne don't need iron bars on their windows, they even come out to celebrate in the eternal night, and have no fear of the darkness.
To be fair, Hitzfeld is happy that they can live and work in peace, but he is also worried that this may become a hidden danger.
"But you just said 'milky flavor'...?"
Slightly narrowing her right eye, she tilted her head and stared straight at the woman.
"Do you like 'milky smell'?"
"I--"
Xia Yibing was still filled with righteous indignation a second ago, but after being glared at by her, all logic suddenly stopped.
It's over. It's over.
Sweat started to break out on my head.
She happens to be a perfumer... I was so happy, why would I mention the scent of milk?
"If you like, I can adjust it."
Hitzfeld tilted his head back.
"The premise is that you really just like the taste."
"...I do!"
You better be.
Silently coming up with an internet meme from his previous life, Hitzfeld couldn't hold it in any longer and leaned into her arms and laughed.
What a mess... She was just teasing Xia Yibing on purpose.
But of course.
She does have that a little bit.
Little by little.
A little bit of taste.
The further they went, the fewer people there were. Before they reached the front of the train, they saw a group of people in black uniforms gathered on the platform, measuring with rulers several carriages that had been unhooked and pulled out from the side.
"You are……"
The two people and the dog were too conspicuous, and a tall and thin man immediately came up to question them: "Uh... who... are you..."
As he spoke, he shut up.
Well - if he just felt that the shorter beautiful girl with a black eye patch on her left eye, gray hair piled high, and a delicate face looked very familiar, then the black-haired woman standing next to her, her photo frame was hanging on the wall of the branch.
"It's... nice to meet you!"
"Brown Jordan, head of the Trierred Branch of the Sara Homeland Security Agency, reports to you!"
Stand at attention, salute, the noise here quickly attracted the attention of all the people in black.
They just briefly got acquainted with each other, and five minutes later, accompanied by Jordan, they found Rob and Grande in the police room at the end of the platform.
Poor Grande... He had been staying in car No. 2 to relieve himself, but car No. 3 was about to unhook and continue moving forward, and he was inexplicably taken away without knowing it.
When he came out, he was held down by a group of men in black. If he hadn't run out of stock, he would have had to change his pants on the spot.
"This matter is not that troublesome!"
Leaving the two student teachers alone, Jordan enthusiastically stayed with them, laughing dryly as he walked.
"It was originally just a record, and at most we'll go test it this afternoon to see if there's any contamination or something... Since you're here, these procedures can be omitted."
He realized it only later, and halfway through, he discovered that the director was accompanied by the famous Earl Xie Yang!
My goddess, how come they appear in Trielred?
Jordan felt a little uneasy and prayed that the two men would leave the city as soon as possible.
"You seem to not want to see us."
Xia Yibing narrowed her eyes slightly.
Hitzfeld tilted his head to the side, thinking that Brown Jordan was in trouble.
Every time a woman starts to be serious, she will habitually squint her eyes. You could say this is a sign that she is “angry”.
How to say this... Hitzfeld actually thinks that Xia Yibing is particularly charming when she is angry, because her eyes are long and narrow, naturally charming, and when she squints, she looks like a seductive fox, which really makes people's mouth dry.
But her charming side is only open to me.
Words to others...
Looking at the sky, Hitzfeld felt that they would not be able to go shopping in the afternoon.
"I know you want to fix the mess here, but to be honest, the mess in Trierred is not something you can fix in just one day and one night."
Suddenly, another voice came from behind.
Hitzfeld turned around and saw a tall woman walking out of the shadows.
Forgive her for using this word to describe her at the first moment, because this woman is really too tall... Hitzfeld felt that her height must be over two meters. Even in Orwater back then, a city that bred many "giants", a woman of this height would be regarded as a curiosity by the crowd.
Not to mention her hair.
The hairstyle is loose, the outside is purple-red, and the inside is silver-white. To be honest, Hitzfeld has only seen this kind of hair in some game works in his previous life.
You know, the hair of people in Sara's side is nothing special. Blue hair and green hair that often appear in the other world are rarely seen here. Most people have black, brown, and blonde hair colors, and the so-called red hair is mostly bright orange.
With this situation as a premise, you can imagine how special women's hair is. If it is not dyed, it is really-
Scorpion poop, one of a kind.
"Excuse me, Agent."
The woman was wearing a long black dress and a black wide-brimmed hat. To be honest, her face was not bad, but she was too tall, which made her face look too long, making her high nose bridge and thin lips look sharp and mean, and her voice was also very low.
"I told you, I'm waiting for someone here."
"Ah... is... is that so?"
Jordan was stunned. He looked at the woman uncertainly, then at Hitzfeld and the others, his eyes wide open.
"Wait, the person you are waiting for is..."
"Yes, that's them."
"If there's nothing else, you may go, Agent Jordan."
……
Ten minutes later, in an upscale restaurant across the street from the South Train Station, the tall woman gestured to the two men.
"sit."
"I'll take this meal."
"I get several thousand becquerels every week, so you don't have to be polite to me."
"So... Heidi?"
Hitzfeld sat down first, then raised his eyebrows and looked across: "Or Ms. Heidi? Miss Heidi?"
"That's Heidi."
The woman frowned. “Just call me by my name.”
