Dereliction of duty · 90 years in the new calendar

Objectively speaking, Roat's behavior just now is really not pretty.Fortunately, the two people who were perfunctory by him were more or less familiar with him, and knew that this weirdo researcher often had similar weird behaviors, so apart from the inevitable helplessness, there was no emotion of "angry" in the strict sense.

Except for meeting this person and a series of wonderful things that happened afterward, there was nothing unusual about this morning.

Mr. Sui didn't miss a whole day's work, but he was late when it was approaching the lunch break.

Sui: Good afternoon...

He didn't seem to be in good spirits, and his voice was slightly haggard.

Before sitting down, he glanced at Flo's direction, and after seeing it clearly, he relaxed a little.

A while ago, because of a certain innocuous conversation, they accidentally fell into a small cold war.

After that, Flo took the initiative to apologize to him, but he just waved his hand and said don't care, but he didn't return to his usual attitude of getting along.

Therefore, it can be said that in the past four days, the awkward atmosphere has been lingering.

Flo: (I told Roat just now that we "reconciled"...)

(It's kind of ironic now that I think about it.)

Mr. Sui?What happened, now?

Sui: Um... no.

I met a strange guy on the way here and was delayed by her for a while.

Sorry for being so late, Master Xus.

Xus: It's more than I expected that you would apologize for being "late".

After finishing speaking, he chuckled lightly, saying that in the original work here, there was not much that could be entrusted to him, and it would be harmless even if he didn't come for a whole day.

This is hurtful, but it is a fact, so it cannot be refuted.

After a brief laugh, Master Xus showed a little interest in the people he mentioned on the road.

Sui: She... I can't remember, it seems like I've seen it somewhere.

At first she asked me for directions, and her destination was also the Demon King's Palace, so I asked her about her plans after I was a little concerned.

Xus: ...Looking for this way.

Bang, bang.

Just as he was about to continue asking, there were two knocks on the office door.Flo, who was closer to the door, subconsciously prepared to respond, but was interrupted by Master Xus.

The person who answered the door then became the boss.

Xus: Which one?

...Alf?

Hearing the name (short form), Flo looked out curiously.Sure enough, this was Miss Alf who indulged in all kinds of dishes and wines with Roat at the banquet ten days ago, and didn't care about the scene at all.

I remember that she claimed to be Roat's assistant. Thinking about the strange person who visited a few hours ago, one can guess the reason why she came here.

Alf: Yahoo.

Mr. Xus, have you seen the one in my house?

Although she and Roat had such a relationship, when they started dating, Flo was no longer living in his house, so she didn't get to know her much, just knew each other roughly-even so, Flo didn't even know each other. Know her full name.

Xus: In the lab you were in before.

It's just in time, take him away quickly, it's so annoying.

Sui: Wait a minute, who are you saying?

After hearing this doubt, the young lady stretched her head and tiptoed to look over Master Xus' shoulder.

After seeing the voice inside, she waved her hand with a smile on her face, and said briskly:

Alf: Yeah, meet again?Mr. Vampire?

No, this word can't be used like this... "Mr. who uses the blood array"?It's too long, so it's better to call it a vampire for short.

— Cough, I'm too self-indulgent, sorry.

Then I'll go find him?Goodbye everyone.

She spoke very fast, and she spoke like a cannonball, and she didn't even seem to be breathing in a series of words.

Dazed by the sudden long conversation, after sorting it out, she found that she had run away.

Flo: (…)

(...I don't know which is more annoying than my intermittent way of speaking.)

Master Xus?Leave her alone, okay?

Seeing Master Xus heaving a heavy sigh and closing the door behind him, Flo was slightly worried, after all, something wonderful might happen upstairs.

Xus: No problem, probably…

It depends on what the hell they are planning to do this time.

Master Xus said the two researchers shared the upstairs room.In fact, the right to use the room had already been handed over to them, until the building was expected to be demolished half a year later.

He seemed to be a little sure about the actions the two of them would have, and his expression said he was relaxed or not, and he was not nervous at all.

Flo: Well... can I, just ask.

You look... like you know.

Xus: ...Did I show it?

In fact, it's just a guess, and the only evidence is that a few hours ago, the paper with the pattern in Roat's hand.

Like I said before, "Sacrifice Ceremony".

Sui: Ritual!

Mr. Sui, who had been listening quietly all this time, suddenly jumped up and staggered into all the obstacles along the way.

He looked extremely terrified, and quickly and crazily grabbed Master Xus's shoulders, roaring loudly, completely irrational.
