Cold weapons are a man's romance

"The matter is so important, can you swear to keep it secret?"

Roman nodded like a pounding garlic, and pressed his chest, expressing that he would absolutely keep the secrets discovered by August forever.

August smiled contentedly. "Great! Me too!"

"...you know you have to obey my orders all day today, right?"

"Except for this one. Cesar will kill me."

Roman straightened his waist, and sternly looked at his little friend who was willing to bet and refuse to admit defeat. "Do you think you are great? Can't I discover the secrets that you can discover with your IQ?"

"I can't say anything else. It's not necessarily possible to do this. I feel that you are quite dull."

Roman stared at him angrily for a while, raised his chin towards the door, and said majestically, "Maid, can you clean?"

"Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm a mentally handicapped child without the ability to take care of myself?"

"It's a bit like... Since you know how to do it, I'll leave the cleaning of my house to you today!"

Thinking of August wearing a maid outfit and holding a broom, Roman couldn't help laughing.Is there any job in the world more suitable for a maid than cleaning?

"Really? That's it?" August raised his eyebrows, "Your imagination on 'Punishment Game' is really rich!"

Roman choked.Is he too uncreative?

"Then what do you say?"

"Set me free."

"No talk!"

When he first saw the maid dressed as August, Roman had some sympathy for the little emperor who was murdered by Cesar (and the ladies).But that sympathy evaporated when August refused to share his discovery with Roman.

Lack of creativity is lacking!Anyway, August had to obey him all day today.Roman decided to take the little emperor for a walk on the street cheekily.It wasn't him who was ashamed anyway.

So the two walked out of the Aurora Club in a grand manner one after the other.Once in public, August immediately became the focus of all passers-by.Everyone who passed by him giggled and secretly took pictures of his "heroic appearance" with their mobile phones.Fortunately, the little emperor's face was covered with a thick foundation that could cover the color of his skin, otherwise he would have to go home with Roman with a head as red as a tomato.

Roman deliberately kept a certain distance from August, so that passers-by would not think they were like-minded.August saw through his trick, quickened his pace, rushed to Roman's side, and took his arm.Now Roman's plan to pretend to be strangers to August is completely aborted.

Roman shrugged him off.But August tangled up again like chewing gum on the sole of a shoe, causing passers-by to look sideways.

"What do you want? Let go!"

"I can't die alone! Even if I die, I will hold you back!" The little emperor whispered through gritted teeth.

"Don't get so close to me!"

August yelled loudly: "I hate you, master, don't you want to take him home?"

Passers-by took out their mobile phones one after another, but it seemed that they were not for taking pictures, but more like calling the police.

"Stop! It's not what you think!"

***

Roman, who lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot, finally got into the car with August, avoiding the end of being surrounded by passers-by.August looked smug. Although he was tortured terribly, Roman was not much better.

"You didn't obey my orders at all! Does this kind of punishment game make sense? Is it to punish you or punish me?"

"You deserve it, who told you to humiliate a hero! If you had treated me kindly, what happened just now would not have happened!"

"Please, it's not me who humiliated you, but Cesar and the others, okay? Are you taking revenge on the wrong person?"

"Hmph, you are all the same. After all, God still has eyes, and Cesar's fate will not be much better."

"Do you really think you are the Chosen One?!"

The two argued with each other along the way, and finally reached the downstairs of the apartment where Roman lived.He parked the car, but did not get out of the car in a hurry, but waited for the nearby passers-by to leave, picked a moment when there was no one around, quickly got out of the car, grabbed August and ran home.A second less seen is a second.

His plan fell through again.

After finally running downstairs to the apartment, Roman bumped into an acquaintance.

Alisa took her daughter Enya to visit a friend, so she met her downstairs with her friend.

The mother and daughter stared dumbfounded at the breathless Roman dragging a disheveled, panting teenager.The most important thing is that this teenager is still a minor no matter how you look at it.

"I'm sorry, Roman, although we are good friends, but this time I'm going to kill my relatives righteously." Alisa took out her mobile phone.

"It's not what you think, hey!"

August gleefully hugged his belly and laughed. "Hahahaha Roman, I really want to know how you explain this situation to the police!"

Enya tugged at her mother's sleeve, her innocent little face was full of confusion: "Mom, why is that uncle wearing a maid outfit?"

"Wait, wait a minute! Uncle?"

August suddenly stopped laughing.

This time it was Roman laughing until he couldn't straighten up.The food chain in human society is really interesting, one thing descends one thing!

***

"...So, this kid August was forced to wear a maid outfit because he lost to you?"

In Roman's house, Alisa reclined on the sofa like a hostess, waiting for Roman to make tea for her.This kind of work should have been done by August, but he was not familiar with the layout of Roman's house. After working in the kitchen for a long time, he couldn't even find the teacup anywhere, and even knocked over the seasoning jar.Roman thought about it and couldn't understand why he thought the teacup was hidden in the salt shaker.In the end, Roman could only end in despair himself.

So August's job changed from maid to nanny.He plays with Alisa's youngest daughter while Roman and Alisa engage in "elegant, mature, witty conversations between grown-ups."He plans to build a guitar out of Lego bricks to teach Enya about rock and roll.But in the middle of the fight, he found that Lego was really interesting, so he simply grabbed all the building blocks, completely intoxicated in the creative game, and left Enya aside.The little girl could only sit beside him with her knees hugged, staring speechlessly at this "uncle" who played harder than her.From a spiritual point of view, August is probably her peers, maybe he is far behind her.

As for the "witty and funny adult", Roman spent a lot of time explaining the ins and outs of August wearing a maid outfit, clearing himself of the suspicion of abducting minors.Alisa pressed her chest reassuringly: "Great, I almost thought that you were finally driven crazy by the public opinion, willing to degenerate and embark on the path of crime!"

——Is this guy really his best friend who has known him for ten years? !

"Even if I want to commit a crime, I can't commit a crime against that kind of guy, okay! Perverts also have to pick their targets!" Roman said self-destructively.

"I think August is very cute, full of desire to make people commit crimes."

"That's because you haven't seen the punk side of him... Wait, did you accidentally say the truth just now?"

"Oh, just ignore it!"

How can I listen to this kind of words!Roman thought in shock.Alyssa seems to be more likely to fall into the abyss of crime than him!

"Don't you like this dynamic type?" Alisa asked, "Then I want to ask you—this is not to collect evidence of your crime, but to satisfy my personal curiosity—do you like What type of man?"

"I don't like any type!" Roman screamed, "Why do you think I'm gay?! So this is the image I have in your mind for the past ten years?"

Alyssa looked more surprised than him: "Please, you have liked to play with hard and long sticks since you were a child, how could you not be gay?"

"That big stick is called 'Sword', thank you! Please apologize to all the fencers in the world!"

Alicia eyed him apprehensively, and seemed terribly disappointed.Roman couldn't figure out why she should be disappointed.Is it so hard to accept that her friend is a normal straight guy?She just wanted a gay guy to give her fashion advice?

She thought for a few seconds and asked tentatively, "Not all gays like to play with sticks, maybe you are the one above... Well, Roman, do you like to play with tires or donuts?"

"No!!!" Roman went crazy, "You came here on purpose just to talk nonsense?!"

"Enya insisted to come, she misses you."

Hearing this sentence, Roman immediately calmed down.His heart was about to melt.His cherub goddaughter is truly the only light of salvation in this cruel world.

"I lied to you. Actually, I want to come, but I can't leave Enya alone at home."

If Enya is the light of salvation, then her mother is probably the cruel world itself.

The cruel lady looked curiously at the sword bag Roman placed beside her. "That's the sword used for fighting? Wow, it's so different from the sword used for fencing. This is the first time I've seen a real one. Can you lend me a look?"

"You want to see my 'big stick'?" Roman said sourly.

"...Forget it." Alisa gave up resolutely, "Let's get down to business, I actually want to ask you about your future plans in person."

The atmosphere suddenly changed from a midnight raunchy talk show to a prime-time news broadcast.Roman couldn't help but sit up straight and asked, "What plan?"

"I see you had a good time playing Bingju, and to be honest, I'm so happy for you. It's great that you can start a new life. But what's next? Don't forget you haven't got a job until now, still He's a jobless vagrant. Fighting can't be considered a job, right? I've checked the information, and it's a niche sport. There's no professional league, and it's impossible to support a professional player with game prize money, and almost no swordsman can be considered a professional player. Even those who win international championships are mostly engaged in other jobs. The 'amateur principle' has been revived in the sport of fighting. It may be good for others, such as August over there, He's still a student, isn't he? It's okay to play with it. But you're different, Roman, you're an adult and you need a job."

Roman's temples ached sharply.Yeah, how did he forget this one?He still remembered the day he stepped into the Aurora Club, and when he thought about how to politely tell Lindsay he didn't have a job, he was embarrassed.But when he understood the charm of fighting, when he was intoxicated with the pleasure of confronting his opponent, especially when he got acquainted with Cesar, he put it behind him.The deposit in his account is enough for him to live a stable life for a while, but what about the future?He is only 25 years old, and his future life is still very long. How should he spend the rest of his life?

Alicia had expected his reaction. "I knew it. So let me ask you, are you interested in being a commentator?"

"like you?"

"Yes, our TV station really needs a talent like you. With a professional background and articulate speech, this line of work is perfect. I am looking forward to partnering with you to commentate the game. If you have this intention, I can help you arrange an interview."

"Uh...do you think I'm qualified for the commentary job?"

"Be a little more confident in yourself!" Alisa was unhappy, "You were not like this before. Since you retired, you have become this kind of virtue. You must have been hit by public opinion. How many times have I told you not to care about those, especially Comments on the Internet. Even if you don’t believe in yourself, at least believe in me, okay? When has Alisa Tux ever misled her?”

Roman wanted to say, "Not long ago you misjudged Cesar, you thought you could develop a romantic relationship with him, but in the end it became a good girlfriend who went shopping together to buy lipstick", but he kept silent rationally.Alisa thought of him so much, so he shouldn't pick this kind of time to complain.

"I'll think about it," he said.

"What else do you need to consider? That's the decision. I'll go talk to the above, and I'll let you know when the interview time is set."

"Hey, I haven't agreed yet..."

"You have already agreed in your heart. You have always been like this since you were a child. You always hesitate and hesitate. Someone needs to give you a hard push."

Roman thought of the day when the butterfly flapped its wings.

He met Alisa who was passing by by bicycle in his backyard, and was dragged into the fencing club by the girl without any explanation, and his fate changed irreversibly.

Alyssa was always pushing him behind his back on his life trajectory.It was the same when I went to botn, and it was the same when I went to the Aurora Club.Every time this beautiful butterfly flaps its wings behind him, it creates a majestic storm.And he is a white bird with broken wings in the storm, will he just fall down, or ride the strong wind and soar up?He doesn't know either.No one can predict the future, especially what happens after a butterfly flaps its wings.

Alyssa chatted with him about the housework for a while, and then left.Then she has to send her daughter to art class.As soon as Enya heard that they were leaving, she immediately bid farewell to Roman cheerfully, without any sign of reluctance.This made Roman quite sad. His goddaughter had never been so happy at parting.Is he so unpopular with Enya?But when his eyes turned to August waving goodbye to the mother and daughter, he understood the real reason for Enya's desire to escape.No one wants to be in the same room as this kid!

The little emperor politely sent Alisa and her daughter into the elevator like a dedicated maid, and his smiling face disappeared instantly as soon as the door closed.The little emperor turned around, with both indignation and panic on his heavily made-up face.He asked sharply, "Roman, are you going to give up swordsmanship?"
