Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 82 What Help?

With the hope that he might be able to sneak in, Leon arrived at the building of Happy Apartment for the second time.

After looking at the location of his home on the sixth floor, he took a deep breath, then clenched the Holy Spirit Pendant on his chest and tiptoed into the lobby of the apartment.

However, he didn't know whether he had gone to bed or the badge effect offset him and he didn't notice it. Leon walked through the lobby on the first floor of the apartment and went into the stairwell. He didn't see the strong man with scissors, and he didn't even see the administrator lady.

So... I can go home?

Overjoyed, Leon immediately quickened his pace and went straight upstairs. Just as he raised his hand to knock on the door, the door was opened from the inside before he could knock, just like countless times in the past three years.

"elder brother?"

Looking at Leon who seemed very happy and smiling outside the door, Anna couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Didn't you say you were very busy these two days and wouldn't be back to sleep for the time being?"

"Well, I was really busy at first, but suddenly I wasn't that busy anymore, so I was able to come back... By the way, I haven't had dinner yet, there's something at home... um..."

Looking at the burly old man sitting next to the dining table and staring at him fiercely, Leon's smile froze on his face.

No...how did you set up an ambush?
"Brother, you didn't have time to help us move our luggage in the morning, so Uncle John helped carry it up. In the afternoon, when I was busy cleaning the house, William and Melanie were taken care of by him, and he even helped to put them to sleep just now."

Seeing that Leon had been staring at the burly old man, Anna smiled and took the initiative to explain:

"Uncle John helped our family so much, but he refused to accept my hard work fee. I didn't know how to thank him, so I finally decided to invite him to dinner at home as a thank you."

"..."

So... it was you who let the Japanese in on your own initiative?

After opening his mouth speechlessly, Leon stretched his stiff facial muscles and forced a smile.

"Then I really have to thank them. Uh, hehe, how was Mr. John's meal?"

"it is good."

After answering Leon's question sparingly, the corners of the strong old man's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a smile that was even more stiff than expected. Then he stood up suddenly and reached out to touch the basket with the big scissors next to him.

What a mess!

Just as Leon's expression changed and he was about to run away, he heard a dry cough from behind.

"cough……"

？ ！！

Is this... an attack from both sides?

After turning his head and seeing the familiar face of the administrator, Leon's heart skipped a beat. He quickly grabbed the [Holy Spirit Pendant] on his chest, ready to defend himself at any time.

However, the old lady who had successfully lurked behind him did not attack him. Instead, she smiled and raised the large plate in her hand and handed him the beef roll with a crispy crust.

"Young man, you must be very hungry. Do you want to try a piece?"

"Uh... it's okay... I'm not really in a hurry..."

"If you're not in a hurry, then make way and let Auntie pass first... Hehe, this thing is really hot."

"Ah! Okay!"

He opened the door in confusion and let the administrator lady who was carrying plates pass. Then he sniffed the aroma of food beside him and looked at the sturdy old man who was twisting a pair of big scissors opposite him. For a moment, he couldn't help but fall into confusion.

Are you letting me in or not? Why do you two have different attitudes?

……

“Brother?” Seeing that Leon had been lingering at the door and hadn’t entered the house for a long time, Anna couldn’t help but blink in surprise, then walked over and pulled him in.

"You haven't had dinner yet? Come sit down and eat!"

"Uh... ok."

After walking around the big table for a while and finding a seat farthest away from the strong old man, Leon, who was feeling uncomfortable being stared at, picked up his knife and fork, gritted his teeth and cut a piece of meat roll, then ate it without any taste.

After observing Leon's expression for a while and discovering the reason for his awkwardness, Anna couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch his thigh, then said with some anger:
"Didn't you tell me before that although Uncle John looks a little fierce, he is actually a warm-hearted and kind person? Why are you so reserved?"

"..."

I'm not being reserved, but I'm worried that he might think I'm not a good person and pick up the scissors and cut me...

"Haha, all men are like this."

After seeing Leon's complicated expression, the administrator lady with white curly hair smiled at him and then said kindly:
"My old man is the same. He actually praised your brother to me, saying that although he works in the police department, he is actually a very good person. He hopes that we can get along well in the future and get closer to him as much as possible... Put it down, why do you keep touching your broken scissors?"

After slapping the old man's hand hard and snatching the shiny scissors away, the admin lady moved the basket away with great effort. Then she yelled at the old man who was looking at her eagerly and was at a loss after the scissors were snatched away:

"Go wash your hands! Your scissors are covered in dirt. How are you going to eat after touching them?"

"Oh……"

After being yelled at by the administrator, the strong old man's bear-like back couldn't help but slightly hunch. Then he reluctantly left his seat and went to the bathroom, looking back every few steps.

Phew...it seems that the aunt's family status is higher than the uncle's, so I seem to be safe...

Looking at the strong old man who was washing his hands pitifully, Leon heaved a long sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became more natural. Then he gave the aunt a thumbs up sincerely.

You are the one who has the skill to control your husband!
"No, no, it's not what you think. It was the old man who asked me to do it."

After waving her hands somewhat embarrassedly, the administrator said with a smile:

"Tell me about yourself. I heard from Anna that you are from the Cleanup Bureau of the Police Department. What do you do in that bureau every day?"

"This... is just to help out and deal with some troublesome situations."

Looking at Anna who was also full of curiosity, Leon hesitated for a moment and said with an embarrassed expression:
"As for the specific work content, some of it is not suitable to talk about during a meal... How about we talk about your family? Mr. John... uh..."

Seeing Leon suddenly stuck, the administrator was slightly startled, and immediately followed his gaze towards the bathroom.

Then the administrator was extremely speechless when she found that her husband was washing his left hand while making a scissors shape with his right hand, and was constantly gesturing at Leon through the glass, and making "click" and "click" sounds with his mouth.

"Wash your hands well!"

After yelling at the strong old man again, the administrator turned around and nodded slightly apologetically:
"Unlike me who is responsible for preventing danger, my old man has a stubborn personality and can't stand seeing... um... you should understand what I mean, right?"

"Yeah, I understand."

After hearing what the administrator said, Leon nodded in sudden realization, and roughly understood what was going on between the couple.

Happy Apartment has two abilities, one is "avoiding accidents" and the other is "exorcising evil". It seems that each of them is responsible for half, and the strong old man is responsible for the "exorcism" part, so he has been eyeing me covetously.

"Haha, I'm glad you understand."

After telling her family's situation through hints, the administrator glanced at Anna who was listening in confusion, and then continued with a smile:

“Young man, the Cleanup Bureau is a good place. Although I don’t know much about you, I have met people from your Cleanup Bureau before.

Well... or you could say that the reason why the old man and I are where we are now is thanks to the help of the Cleanup Bureau~"
