Time in a collapsing world

Paduo and Li each moved a stone together and sat down side by side.

"Brother Li, did I make a big mistake?"

"Oh? Why did you say that?"

"If I hadn't stolen that box, maybe our home wouldn't be like this..."

Padu hugged her knees and looked remorseful. She was not a fool who didn't understand anything. Just after she stole a box that didn't look like a mortal object, the welfare home suffered such a disaster the next day. , it is easy to think of the connection between these two things.

And she also asked the people around her. That night, someone secretly peeked on the wall. The menacing soldiers and the corpses of children placed on the ground frightened him so much that he didn't dare to look more. He ran away as fast as he could.

However, he still saw a girl with pink hair, and it was because of this that Pado was convinced that he was indeed responsible for this disaster.

"..."

"Brother Li, I want to return this box. Sister Nia and Brother Jie may not be dead yet, but they were caught by them. I want to exchange them back..."

"Aponya and Qianjie are fine. I have rescued them. Well... they should be considered rescued."

Li told Paduo the only good news, not wanting her to worry anymore, "Don't worry about their safety. Maybe they are living a slightly better life than you now?"

"That's good……"

Pado patted his chest. Although he didn't know how Brother Li got the news, since what Brother Li said, it was definitely not a lie.

"Then... do you want to return this box?"

Since Sister Nia and Brother Jie are fine, maybe there is no need to return this box, right? Just think of it as a small reward for taking away those hateful guys.

And it just so happened that Li thought the same way. Although he was a person who chased the fire moth, he didn't care about people. If he could get some good things from them, Li would naturally not be polite.

However, Li didn't intend to give this box to Pado. If the Fire Chaser happened to see it, he might one day find a familiar kitten in the next room when he visited Qianjie.

After swatting away Padu's sneaky hand that reached towards the box, Li took the box further ahead.

"I said it was ill-gotten wealth, confiscated."

"Hmph, I think Brother Li, you want to keep it all to yourself, right?" Pado said unconvinced.

"How can this be regarded as monopoly? When I sell this thing, won't the money I get from it be used to support you? Huh? Pa Duo is being kept?"

"...Brother Li, actually, I want to live alone from now on, so I don't need to trouble you anymore."

But Paduo shook his head and said something that was beyond Li's expectation.

"why?"

Li was puzzled. He didn't expect that Patuo, who loves petty gains, would actually come up with such an idea.

"Hehe... I just miss the time when I was self-reliant. I have thought about it. I can't cause any more trouble to you, Brother Li, and I don't want to completely become an idle waste. So, Brother Li, let's meet again in the future. "

Padu's eyes were a little gloomy under her bangs, and she was indeed still worried about the trouble she had brought to Brother Li and the others.

Brother Li will definitely bring Sister Nia and Brother Jie back to live together in the future, or are they already living together now?

Even if Brother Jie and Sister Nia would accept her for making a big mistake, Paduo couldn't forgive herself or face them. So, let's just go back to a person's life and treat it as if she had made a mistake to herself. punishment.

"Pado, are you sure? I have a warm bed, unlimited drinks, and three free meals a day~"

Li tried to seduce him, saying that he didn't really want Pado to leave alone. He had lost so much, and he was really afraid that this momentary separation might mean goodbye forever.

But Li still respects Pado's choice.

"How can one person's life be more interesting than that of many people? Pado, think about it again?"

"These things... I will have them sooner or later! Brother Li, don't underestimate me!"

Pado covered his ears with difficulty, not wanting to hear Li's demonic temptation again.

"Don't be too pushy..."

Li touched Paduo's lowered head and said, "Let's do this. If you really can't hold on anymore, you can come to me. My door will be open for you at any time. As for the address..."

Li told Paduo the location of his current residence.

"The villa area...Brother Li, you are doing much better than me." Pado looked enviously at this colleague who once belonged to the same Phantom Thieves group as herself. She was right. Brother Li is the kind of person who can A person of great wealth.

"Want to move in?"

"I think... no, no, no, it doesn't seem right to talk about it later..." Pado's mind was a little confused. The villa area, if she could live in it, her life would be worthwhile.

Pado's pursuit is that simple.

"Anyway, in short, Brother Li, what you have now I will definitely have in the future, it's just a matter of time..."

"Oh, then my door will still be open for you?"

"want……"

Once again, Pado couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart, and suddenly shouted anxiously:

"Brother Li!"

"Hahaha...Sorry, sorry..."

……

In the end, Pado still wanted to leave, but before leaving, she begged Li to take her out for a while. Li took care of all the food, drinks, clothing, and fun before leaving. The last party.

In the cafeteria, Li and Pado took out a table full of food and ate and drank like starving ghosts. In the end, they even held a competition between the two of them for eating, which made the owner of the restaurant twitch his face.

Of course, the final result was that Li won. As a punishment for the game, Li flicked Paduo's forehead hard, not too hard, not too hard, just enough to pop out a small bag.

At the skating rink, Li watched in amusement as Pado danced on the smooth ice and fell countless times.

Afterwards, under Li's endless teasing, Pado's face turned red with anger, and he simply lay down on the ice, sliding his limbs to Li's feet, trying to trip Li up.

Of course, Pado failed and was accidentally kicked in the head by another tourist, causing him to cry out in pain.

In the clothing store, Pado and the boss had a heated argument over a ten-dollar price reduction.

While visiting the lake, Pado almost fell into the lake trying to catch a fish. If it weren't for Li's quick eyes and quick hands, Pado would have had to drink water until he was full.

In the poker room, during the duel with Li, Pado screamed after losing, and the stickers on her face were almost all over her face. However, Li later put water on her face when she saw how pitiful she was, and reluctantly let her put it on her face. There was also a small note on it.

Looking at Li's funny face, which was the same as his own, Pado laughed like a winner for the first time.
