Do not confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 859 The Big Gray Cat of Lanqi's Family

in the afternoon.

Professor Landry's residence in the residential area of ​​St. Clement's Abbey.

"Huh, if I have to leave Brillda, I suddenly feel a little reluctant to leave."

Lanqi yawned slightly and sat at the dining table reading the newspaper.

After visiting Violet this morning, he and Hyperion returned to their home at the Abbey.

"I didn't feel that way when I was in Brillda, but when I was ready to leave, it felt like it was too fast."

Hyperion agreed. She finished eating early but still sat at the table chatting with Sigrid and did not leave.

They couldn't tell whether they would come back to Brillda in the future, and it was possible that they would see it less and less.

"Life is a one-time thing. For example, when you left Helrom in the northern continent, didn't you feel the same way?"

Sigrid asked, leaning over the dining table and turning her head to look at Lanci and Hyperion.

"To be honest, I miss Michela and the Milford family."

Hyperion exclaimed.

When she was in the Northern Continent, Hyperion missed the Earl of Milford's family who had taken care of her, and her stepsister Michela who had accompanied her from Milford to Helrom very much. It was as if that was her other home in the Northern Continent.

"If there is a chance, this bishop can take you back to Helrom at any time."

Sigrid patted Hyperion's shoulder triumphantly.

The Protoss Empire on the south coast of the Northern Continent can be regarded as her base camp. She originally just planned to come to the Southern Continent for vacation, but now it seems that she may have to stay in the Southern Continent for a longer period of time, and may even make this place her home.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon and their family's meal time was almost over. The three of them sat at the dining table chatting and waiting for Tata who was still eating.

In this spacious and bright first-floor restaurant, the midday sun shines peacefully through the shadows of the leaves on the windows and is reflected in every corner.

Occasionally, a breeze blows through the courtyard outside the window, bringing with it a faint, sleepy fragrance from the garden.

The long dining table inside the restaurant was covered with a fine linen tablecloth with a few embroidered flowers. Silver tableware and high-heeled glasses were neatly arranged, and the dishes on the table had already been delivered from the kitchen.

What's left now is a large plate of golden and crispy fried chicken wings, which are evenly coated with a layer of secret sauce, which is sweet and spicy with a fresh fragrance. Freshly cut lemons are dotted next to the chicken wings, adding a bit of freshness to the dish.

"Brillda's ingredients are really good. I can't buy the special fruits and vegetables from Saint Cremona Monastery back in Ikerit."

However, Tata's favorite now is a bowl of tomato beef brisket soup. A few green basil leaves float on the bright red surface. The rich tomato juice is perfectly combined with the aroma of pepper, carrot, onion and potato. Tata puts it into his mouth one spoonful at a time, and shows a happy expression every time he swallows a mouthful.

Then she extended her fork to the thinly sliced ​​fried lamb chops. The lamb cooked to perfection was pink in color, and the texture of the cut surface was clearly visible. The lamb chops were drizzled with thick green pepper sauce, and the spiciness of the green pepper blended well with the tenderness of the lamb. The small tomatoes around them were roasted to become sweet and delicious, and they were also favored by Tata.

"Meow meow, there are some snacks. Do you need me to bring them up to you?"

After a while, Boss Cat brought out the final dish, a plate of refreshing Elsaya Sanctuary salad. The fresh lettuce was dotted with crispy bread crumbs, Elsaya Sanctuary cheese crumbs and tenderly fried chicken shreds, and topped with sweet and sour yogurt sauce.

"can."

Talia nodded and asked.

"Okay meow."

Boss Cat floated towards the kitchen.

suddenly.

Talia found that there seemed to be several eyes looking at her.

She turned her head and found that Lanci Hyperion and Sigrid had stopped chatting and were watching her eat.

"Why are you...looking at me?"

Talia paused with the fork in her hand and asked the three people.

"Seeing you eating so deliciously, I feel hungry again."

Sigrid answered hesitantly.

Lanci and Hyperion also nodded in agreement.

"Add a meal?"

Talia asked Sigrid tentatively.

Lanqi and Xiubao must be unable to eat any more.

When someone eats with her, the food tastes more delicious.

"Let's eat!"

Sigrid went to the drawer of a nearby cabinet, took out a set of tableware, and ate a little to show her respect.

"That's it, we're all done, meow."

Boss Cat quickly brought over the freshly-baked garlic bread. The crust was shiny and brown, and it exuded the tempting aroma of garlic and butter. Sigrid took it, took one for herself, broke the bread open, and saw that the inside was soft and fluffy. She put it in her mouth.

"good to eat."

Sigrid said with satisfaction.

Tata's meal is still the best.

The last dessert of their lunch was tiramisu. The square cake was made of ladyfingers, coffee, cheese and cocoa powder. It exuded a rich coffee aroma and was sprinkled with a thick layer of cocoa powder on the top.

But Sigrid knew that Talia liked this pastry, so she didn't snatch it from her and handed it directly to Tata.

"Boss Cat, do you know? I heard from the military gods that the Krei Empire seems to be planning to build a statue of a mythical beast for you."

Hyperion waved her hand, signaling the cat boss to float over and hug it.

Now Brillda's black cat is considered a symbol of good luck.

Also known as the Storm Prison Beast.

It is said that catching the mythical beast will bring good luck.

"Meow?"

After being praised too highly by the Kremer Empire, Boss Cat became a little scared.

It can only perform simple life activities and release more complex wind magic.

Every day, just hearing about Loren's appearance as the Mule and Horse Emperor, Boss Cat was afraid that he would be captured by the empire.

"It's okay, Cat Boss. If anyone sees you and wants to touch you, you will become an underage cat person, and no one will dare to covet you casually."

Lanci gave advice.

The black cats of the Cretan Empire may be very popular now, but the cat-people are different and will be fully protected by the law.

"Why do I always feel that turning into a cat person is more dangerous, meow..."

The cat boss remembered that he turned into a cat-man only once, and was captured on the spot.

"It's okay, Boss Cat, stay with me, I'll take you away anytime."

Hyperion said confidently, lifting the cat boss above her head.
"Antanas and Shinora are waiting for me outside the school. We agreed to meet at 1:30. I'm going to look for them now."

She stood up and said goodbye to the three of them.

The cat boss had been busy in the kitchen all morning and wanted to go out for a walk, so he asked Hyperion to take him along.

"Huprienne, go home early."

Talia chewed her bread and spoke to Hyperion.

"I know. Antanas, Shinora and I won't go too far. We'll just play in the city."

Hyperion held the cat boss on her head, waved and ran out the door.

"Don't worry, Tata. Just eat your meal in peace. Hyperion is no longer the girl you asked me to protect when I first sent her to your house."

Lanci preaches to Talia.

When Hyperion was sent to Tata's house and Tata was asked to protect her, Hyperion was indeed trapped in murderous intent and very weak, but now even without the protection of Antanas and Sinora, Hyperion is already quite strong and safe.

"That's true."

Talia thought about it and admitted.

"Tata, you have to say the same thing to me when I go out."

Sigrid looked at Talia and suggested coquettishly.

"Uh, okay."

Talia originally wanted to say that Sigrid should be absolutely safe to go out, but out of fairness, she decided to treat Hyperion and Sigrid equally.

"By the way, isn't Pranay with Antanas and the others?"

Lanqi remembered that during breakfast, Pranay was still chatting with the ice witch Migaiyaifatiya and others.

Pranay probably didn't go to the West Vancouver Freedom Memorial either.

"He was asked by Abigail to go to the opera."

Talia ate and preached.

Planai initially went to find Toliado, but later, because of Planai's erudition and understanding of the culture and history of the demon world, Abigail kept him in the Brillda Opera House.

The story of Holy War Romance is set in the northern continent a hundred years ago before the Holy War took place. Among the living demons, Pranay probably knows the situation of the demons best, even more clearly than the original author Toliado, so Abigail regards him as a historical consultant.

But for some reason, Pranay seemed to be troubled when he saw the script.

“They are historical figures themselves.”

Sigrid spread her hands. She believed that Planai and Toliado did not need to study history to write stories with history as the background. They spanned the entire era of change, not to mention that Planai was also a scholar of the demon clan.

"..."

Talia's fork paused.

She seemed to be hurt.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant, Tata."

Sigrid waved her hands quickly, but she didn't know how to explain. Lies don't hurt people, but the truth is the sharpest knife.

"A tower at home is like a treasure."

Lanqi comforted her.

"..."

Talia was even more stunned.

At first glance, it sounded like Lanqi was praising her.

But if you think about it, this guy is definitely saying some pretty damned things!
"Lanqi, I punish you to wash the dishes."

Talia sent Lanqi off directly, handed him the empty plate in her hand, and asked him to take it to the kitchen.

"Sigrid, I'm leaving now."

Lanqi took the plate as if he had admitted defeat, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

He and Talia were playing a word puzzle game, so if the answer was guessed, he would lose. Washing dishes was better than catching him on the ground.

"Oh, I'm full too. Let's take a rest and then we'll leave for the monastery's affiliated hospital in the afternoon. I can go out after changing my clothes."

Sigrid handed her plate and fork to Lanqi and said.

According to their plan for today, she would go out with Ranchi in the afternoon, and Tata had to prepare dinner at home.

"Wait, you're wearing Hyperion's clothes, right?"

Lanqi's eyes stayed on Sigrid's casual clothes and he suddenly spoke.

He always felt that the dress Sigrid was wearing today looked familiar. Now that he thought about it, it seemed that it was actually worn by Hyperion.

"Oh, it seems so. I just picked it up by mistake."

Sigrid looked down at her clothes and realized.

They used the same wardrobe, with the clothes placed on separate sides. Sigrid hadn't brought much luggage to Brillda this time, and as the weather turned cold, she didn't have the time to buy more new clothes, so she opened the wardrobe this morning and picked up a piece of clothing that suited her.

"Why don't you wear tatas?"

Lanqi thought about it again and it seemed that this was not the first time that Sigrid wore Hyperion's clothes in the past two days, but she had never worn Tata's clothes.

“The size is a bit off.”

Sigrid replied after a moment's thought.

Tata's clothes are a little small for her, and unless they are loose-fitting, they don't fit her well.

"Why are you two still chatting here, Lanqi? I have already sent you off the field."

Thalia reminded.

Lanqi immediately took the plate and left.

"Then I'll go change my clothes now. I have to dress a little more formally."

Sigrid spoke to the two of them and headed towards the stairs to the second floor.

She looked too casual now. It was okay for her to go out shopping, but it was not proper etiquette to visit the high priest.

Sigrid was originally surprised to hear that Lanci had a wolf warrior brother, but she didn't expect that there was an eighth-level wolf sage on the southern continent.

……

In the kitchen connected to the entrance on the first floor of the mansion, Lanqi was quietly washing dishes.

In fact, it does not require much cleaning. Just brush it lightly in the sink and then put it in the magic dishwasher to clean it.

Not long after, the kitchen door was pushed open.

Taliyah returned to the kitchen with the last of the plates and utensils.

"You really don't complain about doing housework at all."

Talia stood beside Lanci and helped him clean up the dishes. She took the dishes that Lanci had just washed out of the sink and put them one by one into the dishwasher.

"I'm not Lanfu, and compared to you, the housework I do is nothing."

Ranchi preached.

Lan Fu is only at the first level and uses only that much power. It's already great that she can help with card making. We can't expect her to do everything for us.

"Do you want to be punished again?"

Talia now suspected that every word Lanqi said was full of meaning.

"It's like this, Tata. Violet praised your cooking skills today. She said she was very grateful to you."

Lanci knew that if he was sent off again, he would probably be “sent off” in the literal sense, so he quickly changed the subject.

"That's it."

Talia was still very happy to hear other people's comments about her.

"Then when I asked if there was anything I could do to help her, she told me that she couldn't forget the big gray cat she saw last time and wanted to hug it."

Lanqi continued to preach, his tone a little tangled, and he didn't know what to do.

"Are you kidding me?"

Talia was immediately stunned and asked Lanqi.

"Can't you tell whether what I say is true or false?"

Lanqi put his fingers in front of his mouth, gesturing for silence.

He actually doesn't want to hide anything, and there is no need to hide anything.

But Talia has always been resistant to the idea of ​​turning into a cat, and Lanqi has promised her that he will not tell anyone else about it.

Lanqi always fulfills his promises, so he will help Talia keep the secret.

"That's true..."

Talia immediately realized that she was speaking too loudly and might be heard outside the kitchen, and that what Lanci said was indeed true.

Thinking back to the time when she first got along with Lanqi, Lanqi couldn't tell the truth or lie every day, but he had to talk to her every day. Over time, Talia subconsciously became less confident in her talent for detecting lies.

She was completely confused by Lanqi.

"I didn't promise Violet about this matter. I only said that I would try my best to ask the big gray cat for her opinion. So whether or not to fulfill Violet's wish depends on you."

Lanci closed the dishwasher door and spoke to Talia.

"This……"

Talia pursed her lips.

She actually wanted Violet to know why she had to repay Violet. Now she was just cooking, and Violet felt that she was indebted to the chef's care.

But Talia couldn't say this.

After hesitating for a long time, Talia finally took out the [Transformation: Cat] and looked at it.

To be honest, the feeling of becoming a cat wasn't that bad. Being held by Lanqi and fed snacks was a comfortable and unforgettable experience. She thought it would never happen again in her life.

Since Violet really hopes so, she might as well repay the favor in the form of a cat.

Slightly bewildered, Talia gritted her teeth.

"Just this once, for the last time."

Talia's pride as a princess would not allow her to turn into a cat again.

She took a deep breath and triggered this translucent natural magic card engraved with a cat's paw pattern.

Then her body began to be enveloped by silver light, until the wrapped figure slowly shrank in size according to the magic card's technique.

After a moment, the silver light faded, leaving only a ragdoll-like big gray cat on the ground.

"Lanqi, pick me up quickly, meow."

Talia raised her furry paw and gave orders to Lanci.

"Then I'll take you out later, and don't say anything else."

Lanqi squatted down and picked up the gray cat.

If Sigrid asked, it would be because Talia went to take a nap, and Talia had no plans to go out this afternoon anyway.

"Meow meow."

The gray cat struggled a few times at first, as if it was still a little worried about losing its balance. It then calmed down after being firmly held by Lanqi, and rested quietly in his hands.

She now felt Lanqi touching her again without any scruples. Even though this body did not seem to be hers, Lanqi's warmth would be transmitted to her without reservation, making her try her best to tell herself that it was the second time and she should not panic.

"You're so heavy, haha."

Lanqi hugged the big gray cat and couldn't help but say.

"Go to hell, meow!"

Talia the cat immediately became restless, raising her claws to grab Lanqi, making it impossible to hold her.

"Stop it, stop it!"

Lanqi tried hard to hold the gray cat and stop it from making trouble.

After the man and the cat had been playing in the kitchen for a while, the kitchen door was opened.

"What are you doing?"

Sigrid held the door handle in confusion, thinking that Lanci was fighting with the dishes in the kitchen, but she only saw Lanci playing with a big gray cat.

The moment she saw the big gray cat, Sigrid's sleepy eyes brightened up.
