Chapter 568 Penguin boy "Fimini"?
When Tartaglia came out of the reception room, he happened to meet Arlecchino who had just returned from distributing the tasks assigned to him by Piero.
Tartaglia calmly pushed her younger brother Toke aside and asked him to go play with other children from the Hearth House first, and then started chatting with Alecino.
"'Servant', there should be no conflict between you and Mr. Shao Yun during this meeting, right?" Tartaglia looked concerned, but there was a hint of joking in his tone.
Upon hearing this, Alechino first looked up and down at Tartaglia, who was lucky enough to survive.
Then she asked in an extremely cold tone: "Do you think everyone is a martial arts fanatic like you?"
Hearing this, Tartaglia not only didn't take it seriously, but became even more interested.
He asked with a hint of provocation: "To be honest, I really want to see you compete with Mr. Shao Yun! You know, even the doctor's slice with the strongest defense was eventually defeated by him. If it were you who faced him, what would the scene be like?"
However, in the face of Tartaglia's idea, Arlecino remained silent.
She just stood there quietly, motionless, only her eyes, with strange red pupils flashing, were fixed on Tartaglia in front of her.
Under Arlecino's oppressive gaze, Tartaglia, who had been feeling somewhat complacent, gradually began to feel a little uneasy.
"Um... your eyes look a little scary? What are you thinking about?"
Alechino responded with a frosty face: "I wonder why he didn't just make a hole in your head? Then I wouldn't have to listen to you torturing my ears."
Hearing this, Tartaglia showed a hint of pride on his face, and said with a smile: "Haha, that's because I have a good brother, and I had a good relationship with Ying and Paimon at that time. Anyway, that's what my master told me..."
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of everyone.
The person who came had short golden hair, a pair of clear blue eyes, and some freckles on his face.
She was wearing a black jacket made from a diving suit, which was not only practical but also very fashionable.
The lower body is matched with a pair of black waterproof shorts, which perfectly shows off her "white and tender" legs.
The most eye-catching thing is the ice god's eye that exudes a cold aura tied to the shorts, and the mechanical-style waist bag hanging at the back of the waist.
This slightly shy boy is the penguin boy "Fimini"!
"Father, I'm here." Femini said softly. Although her voice was not loud, it was clearly audible.
Alechino looked over and her eyes fell on Femini. On the surface, her expression did not change, but in fact, she was very concerned in her heart, so she asked, "Is everything ready?"
Femini, who was never good at expressing himself verbally, simply nodded in affirmation and replied simply, "Well, everything is ready."
After getting the answer, Alechino turned his head and looked at the closed door of the reception room, and then said, "In that case, let's go in."
Femini raised his hand and gently knocked on the closed door in front of him. Then he pushed the door open, walked into the reception room, and prepared to meet Shao Yun.
Dardalia, who was standing aside and witnessing all this happening, couldn't help but feel astonished and confused.
He originally thought that Arecino sent Femini to take Shao Yun's life. Isn't this nonsense!
"Hey! Are you planning to let a child assassinate him? You are too cold-blooded! Even if you really want to kill him, you shouldn't send a child to do such a dangerous thing!"
However, in the face of Tartaglia's questioning and accusations, Arlecino just glanced at him coldly.
Then she responded unhappily, "Don't you have any other thoughts in your mind besides fighting?"
Hearing this, Tartaglia was stunned for a moment, but soon came to her senses and began to think seriously about what Arlecino said.
After a moment, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and quickly explained: "Actually... my negotiation skills are also quite good! For example, when Linni and Linnet were falsely accused by the water god, it was me who handled it properly in the end! What do you think, am I pretty good?"
When he said this, a hint of pride unconsciously appeared on Tartaglia's face.
However, when Arlecino heard that Tartaglia was actually showing off her so-called "results of negotiations" at this moment, a cunning light flashed in her beautiful yet cold eyes.
Then she crossed her arms over her chest and teased in a tone that seemed to be praising but was actually full of sarcasm.
"Oh? Then you were able to negotiate to the point where, after being 'dead' for three months, while the 'girl' was mourning for the 'lady', she also had to mourn for you. You are really amazing."
Seeing that Arlecchino was teasing him, Tartaglia helplessly defended himself: "I didn't think about it at the time. I just wanted to have a good exchange. Who would have thought that he would take it seriously?"
Alechino shook his head helplessly and said, "What if you are a martial arts fanatic? If someone threatens Toke and asks you to go all out, do you think you will let the other person go?"
Tartaglia was choked and confused by Arlecchino's words. It took him more than ten seconds to come back to his senses and he immediately changed the subject.
"But thank you for taking care of Tok while I was away."
Alechino did not show much reaction to Tartaglia's thanks. She just turned around silently and responded lightly while slowly walking away.
"No need to thank me, this is all the task ordered by 'Rooster'. When he gave me the order, he probably meant for me to adopt Tok directly..."
"But now that you are back, you should bring Tok back to Zhidong's home as soon as possible."
……
On the other side, in the reception room, the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.
The petite Femini was seen standing in front of Shao Yun awkwardly, with her hands clenched tightly together, trembling slightly due to excessive nervousness.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm his inner panic, and then introduced himself to Shao Yun in a slightly stuttering voice.
"Hello... Hello, my name is Femini."
Shao Yun's eyes fell on the boy who was standing in front of him, looking a little uneasy and at a loss, and he looked him up and down carefully.
"Hello, my name is Shao Yun..."
The next second, Shao Yun suddenly muttered inexplicably.
"Now I understand why the priest likes little boys..."
Fortunately, Shao Yun’s own sexual orientation is completely normal, and this was just a momentary emotion he expressed.
But I have to admit that the little boy in front of me named Femini is really handsome, and can even be described as "cute".
When Femini heard Shao Yun say something that made her confused, she couldn't help feeling embarrassed and confused.
"Ah? What did you say? I don't quite understand."
Shao Yun realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly shook his head and changed the subject, saying, "Haha, it's nothing, don't worry about it. Um... I heard that you are very good at diving, is that true?"
When hearing Shao Yun mention his diving skills, Femini, who was already a little nervous, subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly with his hands, and then answered shyly and modestly.
"Ah? Um... yes, that's right. Actually, it's not that great, just okay..."
Seeing this, Shao Yun stopped beating around the bush and stated his purpose directly.
"I need your help. I want you to take me diving and help me find something. How about that? Do you understand me?"
After listening to Shao Yun's request, Femini nodded vigorously and responded, "Yes, I understand. My father has already told me about this matter. Everything is ready and we can set off at any time."
……
Although the city of Fontaine relies mostly on convenient and efficient track patrol boats for daily travel, this does not mean that this is the only way to leave the city.
On the walls of Fontaine, there are some little-known lifting mechanisms for leaving the city.
However, due to Fontaine's developed water transportation system, land transportation is relatively less important in the overall transportation pattern.
Therefore, these elevators are rarely used on weekdays, and most residents still prefer to take the boat as their preferred way to enter and exit the city.
Shao Yun walked in front, while Femini followed behind a little stiffly.
At first, Shao Yun was interested in chatting with Femini as they walked, trying to break the slightly dull atmosphere between the two.
However, what made Shao Yun feel helpless was that Femini was too shy and introverted.
No matter what topic Shao Yun brought up, Femini would always respond cautiously with just a few words and then fall silent again.
After going back and forth like this, Shao Yun gradually gave up the idea of continuing the conversation.
In this way, the two of them walked forward silently along the way.
As they were getting closer and closer to the water's edge, the destination, Femini, who had been lagging behind, suddenly quickened his pace, caught up with Shao Yun, and walked side by side.
Then, Femini turned his head to look at Shao Yun and said something.
"Linnie and Linnet really don't mean to hurt you..."
Hearing this, Shao Yun, who was originally busy on his way, stopped and turned to look at Femini.
"what?!"
Femini's heart tightened, thinking that the other party was angry.
He rubbed his hands nervously and stammered, "Well... I think, since we have already decided to cooperate, can this be used as an opportunity?"
"It's the kind of opportunity that can resolve the misunderstandings between us!" As he said this, he carefully raised his eyes and observed Shao Yun's expression.
After hearing what Femini said, he simply glanced at the slightly nervous boy in front of him, and then asked nonchalantly: "Oh? What do you mean by that?"
Femini took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and spoke again: "What I mean is, since we now have the opportunity to work together, does that also mean that we can take this opportunity to eliminate the misunderstandings between you, Linni, and Linnet?
"Linnie and Linnet are very nice people. Is there some misunderstanding between you?"
After saying this, Femini seemed to have used up all his strength. He breathed slightly and waited for Shao Yun's response.
Shao Yun's gaze fell on Femini, who had a sincere look on his face.
Then he reached out and gently stroked Femini's hair, saying, "Don't think too much about it for now. It's more important to concentrate on completing the current task."
"As for the matter of Linni and Linnet, it won't be too late to deal with it when the time is right."
Feeling Shao Yun's broad and warm palm pressing on her head, Femini's originally tense heartstrings relaxed a little.
He nodded obediently and replied, "Okay..."
