Chapter 41 Homecoming and Getting Beaten

You said your birthday isn't today? You must be kidding!

After hearing Leon's doubts, Black Goat couldn't help but curl his lips and said:
"Don't make a fuss. Either you remembered it wrong, or your parents made a mistake, or the person who registered your birthday in the kingdom made a mistake. Your birthday must be today."

"But……"

"Don't think about it, there is no but."

The black goat asked back with a firm look on his face:
"Do you think it's more likely that you, your parents, or the registrar remembered the date wrong, or that there was a problem with the authority of a true God, and he assigned you the wrong star palace?"

"..."

That's true...

After recalling his birthday in his previous life and confirming that the date was also wrong, Leon had no choice but to agree with the Black Goat since he had ruled out all the possibilities. He thought that his sister must have made a mistake in his birthday. As for why he didn't make a mistake...

Of course that’s because I don’t remember anything at all!

When I "came" three years ago, I was a complete blank slate. Not to mention things like my birthday, I even knew my name only from what Anna told me.

Hmm... I'll go back and ask her.

Although the exact date of your birthday is not a big deal, if you can really use the [Star Map Protection] to obtain a degraded version of the ability to make your wishes come true on your birthday, then you really have to check it out.

After keeping this in mind, Leon took out a folded piece of straw paper from his arms and started drawing on it with a piece of carbon stick.

Practice shooting to get badges - got bronze
Visiting a nurse named Hannah - Discovering the Happy Apartment
Buy cigarettes for Black Goat to get the Devil Badge - I got Silver, but I don't have any money left so I can't get it anymore

Investigate water pipe incidents and try to obtain evidence of illegal operations——

Looking for the "Seven Sheep Offal" of the Black Goat——

Hmm...if you look at it this way, almost everything I wanted to do before has been completed!

Satisfied, he checked the water pipe incident and drew a heart on the "lamb offal" item to indicate that he had found the whereabouts of the sheep's heart. Then, Lyon clamped the witch's broom between his legs and added three more items on the straw paper while holding the carbon stick.

Check the situation of the blond middle-aged man in Ryan's family and find out the news about Yang Xin——

Find Anna to confirm your birthday and see if you can take advantage of the good luck on your birthday next year -

Find a newspaper with a strong background and courage to expose the water pipe incident without revealing your identity.

Well...that's all for now!
After staring at the straw paper for a while, Lyon thoughtfully held the carbon rod and drew a black circle on the word "newspaper".

It just so happens that I still have some time today, so I'll go to a few newspaper offices and buy some newspapers, read their news selections, and see which one dares to stir up trouble!

……

Although the theft of the Charles Hydraulic Company's data was not a small matter, for a megacity with a population of over 10 million, this little commotion did not cause much of a stir, and the entire capital continued to operate normally and safely.

As the sun in the sky slowly sank to the west, this bustling city known for being made up of "factories, haze, and crowds of people" finally quieted down bit by bit.

As the noise and roar of the machines gradually stopped, countless toiling and tired industrial gears began to file out of the factories, and under the dim light of the street lights, they set out on their way home with tired faces...Is my brother not off work yet?
Without waiting for Leon to pick her up, Anna left the hospital carrying her clothes and luggage and returned to Veteran Lane. Looking at the dark window of the second bedroom in her house, she subconsciously bit her lip, then took out the key, opened the door and walked in.

"It's my sister! My sister is really back!"

"I knew Big Brother wouldn't lie to me!"

Hearing the noise at the door, the two little guys were a little scared at first, but when they saw that the person coming was Anna who had been away for several days, they immediately rushed over in surprise and hugged her thighs like koalas and refused to let go, as if she would run away if they let go.

"Well, my sister is back."

After dragging the two little koalas forward for two steps and putting the luggage in her hands on the table with great effort, the sickly girl stroked her younger brother and sister's heads affectionately twice, like a mother returning home from get off work, then leaned over and kissed each of them, and asked with a smile:
"During the days when I was away, were you two good and behaved? Did you cause trouble for big brother?"

After hearing Anna's question, the atmosphere in the room could not help but stagnate slightly. The two little guys looked at each other instinctively, and then in Melanie's panic, the silly William spoke honestly:

"We are very good, but...well..."

"No, no! We didn't do anything!"

"..."

"Ok?"

Seeing her sister's eyes narrowed suddenly, Melanie, who was slow to cover her mouth, could not help but turn her head and glared at her silly brother fiercely, then confessed with a look of regret:
"It's not that we're causing trouble... It's just that Jack and the others are really annoying. They insisted that you, sister, would never come back this time. We were so angry that we just played a little trick on them..."

"..."

After listening to Melanie's explanation and seeing her sister's aggrieved look, Anna couldn't help but feel a slight pain in her heart, and reached out to touch her messy golden hair.

It’s not all their fault. If anyone has to blame someone, it should be myself.

A few days before the onset of this illness, I had a premonition that I might not be able to come back, so I discussed it with the people in the alley in advance, hoping that they could help keep it a secret so that my brother could continue to receive his pension.

Jack was also a kid from the alley, and he happened to be one of those families. The adults probably let the secret slip, and the kids heard it, then told it while they were playing together, which annoyed Melanie and the others.

William is a relatively stable and quiet person, and he will probably just sulk in his heart and complain when he comes back. But Melanie is eccentric and a little narrow-minded, so she will definitely find a way to retaliate directly.

Well...if my guess is correct, she will most likely use the name of "protecting her sister" to coax the honest William to do it together. Judging from her hesitant look, she must have been tormented by other people's families these days.

"You, you! Alas!"

After lightly pinching her sister's face, which was smoother than a cooked egg, the sickly girl shook her head helplessly. Considering how frightened the two of them had been in the past few days, she wanted to pick it up heavily and put it down gently, but in the end she hardened her heart and said sternly:
"Don't joke with me! Tell the truth! What have you two little bastards been doing these past few days?

If you don't go too far, I'll take you to apologize tomorrow and that'll be it. But if you go even further than last time, then no matter what the reason, you'll be beaten today!"

After hearing Anna's words, Melanie couldn't help but shudder. She clutched the hem of her skirt with her hands, lowered her head and rolled her eyes as she said,
"Well... if I say it's not too much... it does seem a little too much, but if I say it's too much, it's not... it's not particularly excessive. The main thing is... um... that..."

"Don't be so fussy. When I stuffed horse manure into Jack's mouth, I knew we were going to get beaten!"

After tugging at his sister who was still resisting, little William skillfully took off his pants, revealing his bare buttocks. He then turned his little head and gave a serious suggestion to the two sisters behind him who were looking shocked:
"Sister, I've already calculated it. If you want to hit me, just hit me twice as hard as last time. As for Melanie...just hit her five times as hard first!"
