Ron was a little distracted at first.
Nora finally plucked up the courage to say a word to Ron, but Ron responded with a perfunctory response.
Because he is always worried that an assassin will suddenly appear. Although there is basically no danger due to the system's backing, he is still a little subconsciously worried.
So Ron's thoughts are not on Nora at all.
The two seemed to be walking side by side, but in fact Nora was always half a step behind and did not dare to get too close to Ron. They were at least one body away.
Nora followed Ron step by step. Apart from occasionally pointing out the direction or saying a few words about the store, there was nothing to talk about.
This made her a little frustrated.
Sure enough... the store manager took her out just to purchase supplies.
Alas...
Ron followed Nora's guidance and walked all the way to the east of the city. As he walked, he found that there was no sound around him.
Turning around, I saw Nora with his little head hanging down, looking listless.
Only then did he realize that he was out on a date.
My nerves were so tense that I forgot the most important things.
Ron adjusted his mentality and put aside Webster's matters for the time being. Assassins were left to the passive skill Bursting Vitality.
He'd better enjoy the date.
At this time, the two of them had walked to a small street in the east of the city.
There is a huge crowd here, and the people passing by are dressed in ordinary clothes and do not look wealthy.
There are very few serious shops on the street. Most of them are messy stalls selling some small items.
The road surface is uneven, the stone slabs are very irregular, and many of them have cracks. It seems that the road has not been repaired for many years.
This is the slum east of Chaos City, close to the mountainside, where all kinds of vendors, gangsters and gangsters gather.
Unlike Eckley Street, the consumption level here is very low. A few copper coins can buy you a big meal and buy a lot of various things.
As long as you can tolerate having your lower back touched several times a minute, the cheap items here will definitely satisfy most people.
Ron was not touched on the lower back.
First, he was dressed luxuriously, and at first glance he was not someone to be trifled with. Although there were many gangsters who were secretly jealous, they all calmed down their turbulent hearts.
Second, people like him will definitely put things in the storage space. These gangsters obviously know this, so they don't bother to waste energy.
Third...Ron glanced at Nora beside him, and saw Nora staring at a homeless man on the side of the road who was about to make a move.
When the homeless man saw Nora's face, he was startled for a moment, and then he recognized that this little girl seemed to be the guy who was usually so fierce in fights.
To be honest, Nora now has a clean face and is wearing clean clothes. The homeless man almost didn't recognize him.
If he hadn't been severely beaten by Nora several times and was deeply impressed by Nora's fierce eyes, he probably wouldn't have been able to see it at the moment, and would have just thought it was the maid beside the noble young master.
But the homeless man only found out today that Nora is actually a woman?
Ron saw the homeless man's stunned expression, and then looked at Nora's fierce eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Recalling the scene when Nora defeated three gangsters in the yard, and comparing it with Nora's performance in the past ten days, Ron discovered that Nora had indeed changed a lot.
I don't know if the former Nora was her true character, or if it was just a disguise that Nora had to make in order to survive. The Nora who sweetly called him "Hello, store manager" in the store is her true character?
I'm afraid even Nora himself doesn't know this kind of thing.
Walking on a crowded street, the two of them passed by a vendor selling candied haws.
Nora's eyes were wandering, and his eyes subconsciously fell on the red candied haws. He licked his lips with his little tongue and swallowed.
I really want to eat it...
Nora thinks so.
But she still shook her head violently, not wanting to waste the money she just earned on snacks.
Although one candied haws only costs one copper coin.
Nora I am used to being poor. Even if I have a huge sum of 10 silver coins at this time, I don't dare to spend it carelessly.
Thinking that if something unexpected happened in the future, she would still have to rely on these silver coins to survive.
Ron saw Nora swallowing his saliva. He followed his eyes and saw the vendor selling candied haws. He smiled knowingly, paused and walked over there.
"Eh? Store manager, where are you going?"
"Buy a candied haws and eat it."
Ron paid a copper coin and took the candied haws from the vendor.
The two continued on their way.
"Do you want to eat it?" Ron turned around and handed the candied haws to Nora's mouth.
Nora was so nervous that he threw his head back and shook his head. "I... I won't eat it! Manager, you can eat it!"
Ron couldn't help but laugh when he saw the greedy look in Nora's eyes.
"You really don't want to eat? Let me treat you."
"... don't eat."
"You really don't want to eat it? It looks delicious."
"I..." Nora saw that the store manager really wanted to invite her to eat, so he hesitated and refused, but finally couldn't help but said, "Then I..."
"Forget it if you don't want to eat it." Before Nora could finish speaking, Ron quickly took back the candied haws and bit down one in one bite, chewing it vigorously, "Yeah! It tastes good."
Nora stared blankly at the candied haws with one missing piece, and listened to the store manager chewing it loudly. His mouth flattened, and his face turned a light red from anger.
But she knew that she had been being pretentious, and she felt that this anger was very inappropriate.
I was almost crying all of a sudden, and there was a mist in my eyes.
"Pfft!"
"Cough cough cough!"
Ron saw Nora's expression while eating. He laughed out loud and choked several times.
He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch Nora's little face, then handed the candied haws in his hand to Nora's mouth again, and said with a smile, "I'm just asking you one last time, do you want to eat it? If you don't eat it, I won't give it to you."
"Ugh..." Nora was pinched in the face and immediately felt shy, her face flushed and moist, but the candied haws on a stick was right in front of her and she wanted to eat it.
Afraid that the store manager would take it back again, Nora didn't even have time to stretch out his hand, so he poked his little head forward, said "Ah woo", bit into a candied haws, and took it down.
So Nora had one cheek pinched by Ron, and the other cheek was bulging, so cute.
Ron looked at Nora chewing hard, his mouth bulging and bulging, and the cute look made people have the urge to play with it.
He released the hand holding his face and poked the bulging cheek on the other side. The candied haws in Nora's mouth immediately ran to the other side.
"Um... store manager!"
Ron smiled and took back his hand, eating another one himself, leaving the last one on the skewer.
He chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed, and found that Nora was still chewing hard, and it was very difficult for his small mouth.
So he held back his laughter, held out the candied haws, and put it to Nora's mouth.
"It's the last one. If you don't eat it, I will."
"Ah wu..."
"Hahaha!"
Ron looked at Nora's bulging cheeks and couldn't help but reach out and pinch and poke them.
Nora stared at his eyes, bulged his mouth and muttered vaguely, "Manager! I can't swallow it anymore..."
