Silver Blade and Rose

Elvins was about to reach out to pick up the snake, but he retracted when he heard the words, looked at Edwin's face, and changed his words: "Then keep it as a pet, and it can also grind the dog's teeth. "

Zars: "...huh?"

This snake is just so small, if it reaches Cerberus' mouth, will it really not be played to death?

He still remembered that on the first night when he came to No. 179, he was entrusted by Muen to go for a walk with the dog, but the dog saved his life instead.Cerberus is usually very docile, but he is always a hellhound, and he will still show his fangs when he encounters a threat.Now it seems that this snake is really not a threat, so that he even started to worry about whether he will be complained by neighbors or played bad by Cerberus after letting it go.

Seeing that he took it seriously, Elvins couldn't help laughing: "It's okay, he was joking."

Before Zals could breathe a sigh of relief, Edwin asked back, "Did I say I was joking?"

The two turned their heads to look at him in unison, and Edwin refused to budge under the double gaze: "If you want to stay, you can't let him live in the house."

"Why?" Elvins asked suspiciously, "This snake doesn't know how to eat, drink, or scatter. At most, it can talk to make it annoying. If you reject it so much, it can't open its mouth to bite you."

"No reason, just don't like snakes."

Edwin spoke seriously, but Zars felt that it was not that simple.He lifted the snake up and handed it to Edwin, and seeing that the other party had no intention of retreating, nor took the snake away and threw it away, a guess that seemed like a fantasy, but actually seemed to be so possible, gradually emerged in his heart.

Edwin and him looked at each other and said affirmatively, "You guessed it right."

Zales: "..."

He just thought about it casually, why did he suddenly read his mind at this time.

It's still true.

Even after being together for so long, he couldn't imagine that Edwin would throw the snake out to live with the dog just because he thought it was pitiful and cute.This kind of naive idea that was no different from that of a child appeared on Edwin, which seemed inconsistent and strange, but the other party had no reason to lie to him. Zals could only regard this as another trick, his face was a little red, but he did not Continuing with this topic, he said instead: "Put it in my room, I won't let it come out and wander around."

Edwin stared at him for a while, then nodded indifferently, and called Munn downstairs who was helping Hannah prepare breakfast together: "Go buy a cage."

Mun repeated his words inexplicably: "Buy a cage?"

"It doesn't need to be too big, so as not to take up space." Edwin leaned on the railing and said, "If it can't be opened from the inside, it's better to have a lock. Give me the key..."

He calmly said the second half of the sentence under Elvins' ghostly gaze: "...Give me and Zars each."

Zals didn't know what to say, so he could only tell Muen to buy a bigger cage, preferably with some small toys to relieve boredom, and put a soft cushion as a bed...

Mu En nodded half-understood, just as he was going to purchase ingredients and daily necessities, so he added this request to the shopping list and placed an order on the delivery website together.

Two hours later, the deliveryman moved a huge package out of the pickup truck and put it together with other things Muen bought. After confirming that it was correct, he signed for it and left.

Zals first checked out the other things and sent them to Muen, then rolled up his sleeves, carried the carton with a scary weight on the outer packaging that said "luxury pet cage" upstairs, and started unpacking in the corridor.

The moment he saw the splicing parts inside, he realized that Muen seemed to have misunderstood it. He took out the installation manual from the carton and glanced at it. Zars verified his idea—Muen seemed to think that they were going to engrave it. Erberus bought a cage, the biggest one.

He and the snake coiled on the railing of the corridor next to him looked at each other. It was too late to buy another cage of the correct size, but the one that had been unpacked didn't seem to fit back in as it was.

"How about..." He said tentatively, "That's all?"

The snake hissed, and nodded solemnly.

Since prison is inevitable, who doesn't like a coincidence that improves the quality of life?

It took Zals half an hour to assemble this luxurious cage. There are not only all kinds of pet toys in the box-mostly cats and dogs like it-but also soft nests, just put them one by one in the desired place. The position is installed and can be put into use.He hasn't installed anything for a long time, and he spread out the parts all over the floor with enthusiasm like a primary school student who got a new Lego. At that time, I heard Elvins in the room say: "I really should show Abel, you look like a diligent little bee now."

"...It's just a cage." Zars said helplessly, holding a wrench.

It wasn't heavy work, and he had asked for a big cage himself, so he couldn't ask Mu En to help install it, let alone the two adults in the room.Zals is very self-aware. He is probably the only one in this house who has time and can assemble metal cages. It is more practical to do it by himself.

He swiftly screwed on the last screw, lifted the installed cage up and straightened it, and when he was about to move it into the room, he realized that there was something wrong with the cage Muen bought: it didn’t feel right in the corridor, but it would work when it was moved to the door. It can be seen that the cage is a little wider than the door frame both horizontally and vertically.

It's really just a little bit, no more than two centimeters by visual inspection, but it just can't fit in.

"..."

Zals held the cage and tried several times to no avail and placed it at the door of the room. He didn't know what expression to use to face the fact.

Mu En, who heard the voice coming upstairs, witnessed this scene, and innocently disregarded the relationship: "I didn't know you were going to put it in your room, and I didn't expect you to pack it outside before taking it in."

Not only him, Zars was also very speechless, he just didn't want to disturb Elvins by playing jigsaw puzzles in the room, if he had known this would be the result, he might as well have the cheek to go in and disturb him.

Elvins held back a smile and stood up, finding a breakthrough for the embarrassing scene in front of him: "Why don't we think of other ways, such as changing its place."

Zales wanted to do the same, but he promised to keep the snake in his room, and now it's not good because of a cage.He was silent for two seconds facing the cage, then picked up the wrench from the ground, and said helplessly, "I'll take it apart, move it inside and reinstall it."

Just as he was about to make a move, the door at the end of the corridor made a soft "click". Edwin came out with a cup in his hand, and frowned at the mess on the ground.

He was catching up on sleep in his room just now, when he heard clanging noises outside, he thought it was Elvins doing some research, but when he went out, he saw a big iron cage 150 centimeters high, tightly blocked in Zall. between Adams and his door, and immediately understood what was going on.

"You bought such a big cage for a one-meter-long snake, do you want it to dance in it?" He asked Zars seriously.

It's a pity that this question was asked to the wrong person. Muen consciously took the blame on himself and explained, "I thought I was going to buy it for Cerberus, so I chose the largest size."

Zals, who had already guessed this fact, did not dare to speak, and the snake coiled on the railing was even more afraid to speak. Seeing that the big villa was about to be returned, it used its limited brain capacity to think about it, and decided to please the most The person with the right to speak, then got down from the railing, and carefully rubbed it to Edwin's feet, trying to pretend that he was a good snake worthy of such a big cage.

Edwin didn't agree with this, and flicked his fingers lightly. The snake was pushed ten centimeters away by the invisible obstacle, and he straightened up and looked at him blankly.

Elvins laughed out loud. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that Edwin would compete with a snake.

That's right, although he didn't dare to say it, he was sure that the behavior in front of him could be summed up as a fight for favor, and the object of the fight was still standing beside the cage stupidly, because he was sweating and didn't wear a coat, and was so cold that he sneezed s.

This is really interesting.

He leaned against the door with his arms folded. He had known Edwin for so many years that he hadn't expected to see such a good show.
