Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 588 Gift from the Apartment

The capital, the old city, the bridge street, in a carriage heading to the Happy Apartment.

"Actually... I don't hate you either."

After remaining silent with Leon for the entire journey, the emerald-eyed girl, unable to bear the awkward atmosphere, could not help but avoid Leon's sight and looked out the window guiltily, saying:

"Although you may not believe it, the reason I did this is actually because I don't want my affairs to hinder your personal development."

"..."

"As you know, my situation is rather special, and it would be difficult for me to leave the capital. If I form a team with you, you will lack a reliable teammate when you go out on field missions."

"..."

"Besides, my strength isn't that great, and you're already stronger than most Level 1 Cleaners. It would be a huge burden for you to team up with a newbie like me."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Wow... I feel like I'm being held accountable...

Seeing Leon still sitting opposite her in a serious manner and not responding to her words from beginning to end, the rather flustered emerald-eyed girl couldn't help but hesitate and try to test:
"Um...Mr. Leon, don't you have anything to say?"

"Have."

After the double carriage stopped at the entrance of Happy Apartment, Leon raised his hand to help her open the door, and then informed her expressionlessly:
"Let's share the fare. In addition to taking me home, this trip is also to show you the staff dormitory, so you have to pay half."

"what?"

The emerald-eyed girl was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly:

"Um... I don't have any money right now, so can I..."

"1.5 copper wheels, return it to me next week."

"OK……"

After being lifted up from the carriage by the collar by Leon and standing by the roadside waiting for him to pay the fare, the emerald-eyed girl followed Leon and cautiously walked into the first-floor lobby of Happy Apartment.

The administrator lady with a head full of white curly hair was wearing a brand new pair of reading glasses. She was sitting hunched over in the duty room in the hall, knitting a pair of woolen yarn that she would never finish.

"Ok?"

After hearing two approaching footsteps, the administrator raised her head, looked at Leon through her reading glasses, and then smiled kindly.

"Are you back from your business trip?"

"Well, I came into the capital on a cruise ship this morning, and just came back from submitting a report to the bureau."

Facing the kind administrator, Lyon's stern face suddenly softened. He then took out a beautifully packaged small bag from the mirror world, handed it over through the small window of the duty room, and said with a smile:
"Aunt Mary, I found this when I was on a business trip. It's a small gift."

"You kid!"

Looking at the gorgeous label "High-grade Worsted Wool Yarn" on the packaging bag, the administrator lady smiled brightly, but still couldn't help complaining:

"You're wasting money again! This thing doesn't look cheap. You've only been working for a few months, and you have two kids in school. You'll have a lot of other expenses in the future. Save as much as you can."

“I’m saving money, I’m saving money.” After responding twice, Leon took out a small metal box and handed it over, then introduced it with a smile:

"Aunt Mary, this is a gardening tool maintenance set I bought in the Kingdom of Crook. It contains a grinding stone, preservative grease, rust-removing sandpaper, and a wipe that can be washed repeatedly. Uncle John should like it."

"Oh, you are such a ..."

Looking at this box of gardening tool maintenance set that looked expensive, the administrator lady couldn't help but shook her head helplessly. She knew that even if she refused to accept it, Lyon would tell her that she couldn't return it on the grounds that the store was located abroad. So she simply put the maintenance set away and took out a cloth bag from under the table.

"Here, take this back with you!"

"This is……"

"I knitted these woolen gloves for your two little naughty kids. I used the wool you gave me last time."

Looking at Leon who looked a little surprised, the administrator smiled and said:
"Children of this age grow fast. I was afraid they wouldn't be able to use it next year, so I made it a little bigger. I hope it will still be useful next year... Don't complain that it's not suitable!"

Aunt Mary knitted the gloves?
Looking at the kind smile of the administrator, Leon's eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, then he put his fingers into the bag and gently touched the delicate pattern woven on the woolen gloves.

[Name: Exquisite Wool Protective Gloves (Miracle, Guardian)]

[Appearance: A pair of children's wool gloves with neat texture, tight stitching, scratch resistance, and excellent warmth retention. Although the knitting technique is simple and plain, it is extremely exquisite and exudes a wonderful sense of warmth]

[Ability: exorcism of evil, avoidance of accidents]

[Price: Special gloves that can only be worn by Melanie Lane. When the user goes out in the morning, remember to say hello to the administrator grandma on the first floor, but it is best not to always accept the fruit candies she gives, otherwise you may be severely reprimanded by Anna Lane.]

[File: A super senior knitting enthusiast with 135 years of knitting experience, using the wool thread donated by the God Eater, the Nation Destroyer, the Prince of Migrants, the Dream World Destroyer, the Nightmare of the Death Messenger, and the Virgin Branch Level 3 Cleaner Leon Ryan, carefully knitted children's gloves.

In addition to the anomaly's own ability to resist accidents and deter malicious targets, if the user is unfairly bullied, there is a high probability that a muscular old man named John will come to the door with a meter-long gardening shears to seek revenge.]

[Comment: I actually wanted to beat her up, but for some reason, before I could raise my fist, a strong old man about 1.89 meters tall emerged from the bushes on the side of the road.

The old man said nothing, but stared at me with his eyes wide open, then raised a pair of large scissors with a shiny edge and grease applied...】

[Infiltration value: 0.1]

Wow... This is simply a portable + single-person version of the Happy Apartment. With William and his friends carrying this thing, ordinary level 3 cleaners probably won't be able to deal with them.

"Since it's specially knitted for them, I won't be polite."

After accepting this precious gift for the two little ones, Leon looked at the administrator's soul, which was much stronger than before, and said with a smile in a good mood:
"Aunt Mary, I feel like you're in much better shape than the last time we met!"

"is it?"

Putting down the yarn in her hand and touching her cheek, the administrator said happily:

"Maybe it's because I've been busy again recently. After being idle for a long time, people look better when they get busy occasionally... By the way, on your way back, did you see the situation of the new poorhouse behind?"

"I saw that after the funding was allocated, the construction was completed at an unusually fast speed."

Leon nodded and responded with a smile:
"Besides the new workhouse, I also saw Uncle John. He was wearing a plumbing engineer's sign and following the workers in laying pipes."

"Haha, that old man just can't sit still. He has to go and lend a hand."

After happily chatting for a few more words, the administrator auntie couldn't help but sighed and said a little embarrassedly, looking at the emerald-eyed girl who was following behind Leon and looking at her curiously:
"Look at me. I was so busy chatting with you that I forgot to ask... who is this child?"

She was an orphan who came to live in the workhouse.
