Chapter 175 - Good Morning~ (1/2)

”You're right,” Hecathe nodded his head as he looked down at the table and spoke, ”It must be hard for you to remember.”

The woman nodded her head once again as she confirmed this.

”But if you happen to recall it by chance, be sure to tell us,” Hecathe added with a smile and although he had said this, he didn't really hope to hear back from the woman on this topic.

The landlady opened her mouth to say something but before the words could roll out of her tongue, she was interrupted by a yawning sound that came from the stairs.

”Good morning~” LeiLei stretched her arms as she tried to completely wake herself up.

The landlady smiled as she turned to look at the girl and in a single second alone, the landlady was able to act as if she hadn't just been pitying this girl.

”Good morning,” The woman greeted the girl back.

”Where is Raven?” Hecathe asked with a frown as he looked at the watch..

”He's probably coming,” LeiLei shrugged her shoulders as she casually responded.

”Probably?” Hecathe raised his eyebrows as he repeated.

”I'm here, damn it!” Marvin's voice could be heard rushing down from up the stairs and LeiLei chuckled a little as she heard this.

”It seems that Raven is pretty obedient to you,” LeiLei couldn't help but playfully comment.

”...”

Hecathe sighed as he stood up from the chair and announced strictly, ”Let's go.”

”But what about breakfast?” LeiLei asked with a frown as she looked at the man with pleading eyes.

”You can eat on the way,” Hecathe replied and LeiLei's frown deepened.

”So unfair! How come you get to eat in peace while you make us eat on the road?!” LeiLei whined as she felt a little wronged.

”Who said I got to eat in peace?” Hecathe clicked his tongue as he revealed, ”I'm also going to be eating with you two.”

”Oh...” LeiLei scratched the back of her neck with an awkward chuckle.

Marvin shook his head with a sigh as he walked over towards the table and collected the breakfast that had been packed for him.

”Let's go. The sooner we get this done, the earlier I'll get to come back and catch up on my sleep,” Marvin yawned as he spoke and LeiLei was a bit surprised and inspired to hear this.

”You're absolutely right...!” LeiLei exclaimed with a bit of excitement and now it was Hecathe's turn to be a bit taken aback.

These two had been crying and arguing yesterday because they didn't want to go back to that place and now, they looked to be more enthusiastic than Hecathe.

”All the best and have a safe journey,” The landlady smiled as she spoke, cheering them up.

”We'll be back soon!” LeiLei beamed as she opened the door and went out first.

Hecathe also nodded as he looked at the landlady and without saying anything any further, he followed behind LeiLei.

”Are you mad at Hecathe?” Marvin asked as he stayed behind for a few seconds.

”Eh?” The landlady looked to be a bit shocked as she received this sudden question, ”What makes you think that?”

”You just glared at him,” Marvin stated without any hesitation and he certainly looked to be a bit too casual about it.

”Um...” The landlady gulped as she tried to defend herself, ”Maybe you just imagined it.”

Marvin blinked innocently in confusion as he heard this and asked, ”Is that so?”

The woman nodded her head as she confirmed this, but it seemed that Marvin was a bit too good at detecting lies. Perhaps he was even better than Hecathe at this game, but at the same time, he would usually act as if he notices nothing and he would rather choose to believe the person even if he already knew that they were only lying.

”Then I'll apologize for accusing you,” Marvin spoke with a small smile, ”But you should be more careful next time. You wouldn't want me being mistaken like this again.”

The landlady felt her muscles suddenly tense up as she heard this, but she didn't dare say anything as she understood the deeper meaning behind the boy's words.

”See you later,” Marvin spoke with a nod as he left the place.

”...”

The three headed to LeiLei's old house and they preferred to walk instead of deciding to use LeiLei's ability as a transportation method.
