[Comprehensive] How to kill a rabid dog gently

When Squalo came in, Cheng was sitting with his back facing him, and Lusilia was combing her long hair.

The scene would have looked like some kind of sweet and intimate girls' party, if Squalo hadn't known that the two were in fact raped and guarded.

"What are you doing?!"

"Don't yell at the lady, Squalo." Lusilia said in her usual tone, skillfully braiding a lock of Cheng's long hair, "You can tell by just looking at it." , Dressing up is very important for girls."

"Is this against the rules?"

Cheng turned to look at him, with a slightly worried expression on his face.

"Then please describe the situation when you report the situation as, the object of violence coerced the guards to carry out illegal activities..."

Hearing this, Squalo realized that the other party was teasing him, and his silver hair was about to explode because of the two people who didn't feel nervous in front of him.

"Hey--"

"Okay, sorry, it was my fault."

Her smiling eyes blocked the outlet of his impatience.

"But it's not against the rules, is it?"

Squalo choked for a while before asking back.

"...Are you aware of your situation, Cheng?"

Cheng was about to answer, but Lu Si twitched the corner of his mouth first.

"Okay, can the stinky man who spoils the scenery not bother us?"

"What did you say!!"

"It's not time for you to be on duty, Squalo."

Lusilia turned the back of Cheng's chair, and her body followed the chair to the vanity mirror, and Cheng's gaze also turned to the mirror, and at the same time, Squalo was also looking there.

Lusilia modified her face probably out of interest, the corners of her eyes and cheeks were covered with a thin flush like Diana's rose, and Squalo's gaze stayed on her in the mirror for a while , until Lu stooped Chengcheng's chin and put on a touch of lip gloss.

"It's cute, isn't it?"

Luce said this affectionately, but Squalo remained silent and did not answer his rhetorical question.

That doesn't mean he disagrees with what Roos said.The girl in front of him was indeed a fresh girl like a flower, but before feeling this budding beauty, what he experienced first was a sense of fragility.

It's a feeling he doesn't like.

"...Enough, don't make claims, this is an order."

Squalo took a step forward, and the eye-catching lip gloss fell into his eyes, and he couldn't help reaching out his hand, trying to wipe it off with his fingertips.But the color was blurred by his touch instead, starting from the slightly pursed lip line, and slightly staggered at the corners of the lips, leaving a scattered trace of delicate color.

It's almost like being messed up deliberately by someone.

Cheng turned his face slightly, his expression was still calm, but even Squalo himself didn't know why, as soon as he caught her sight, he let go of his hand like an electric shock.

"Luce said that if he had to choose a second career, he might want to be a makeup artist... I think this is a good idea worth supporting." Cheng said gently, "But if you don't like it, I'm Just wash it off."

"You're such an incomprehensible man, Squalo."

"Mamon?!"

Valia's illusionist slowly appeared in the air, with the hem of his cloak unfurling, and he slowly landed beside Cheng.

"But no matter how rude Squalo is, it has nothing to do with me. I'm just here to ask for a reward."

Mamon dragged out a long bill from his arms.

"It takes a lot of risk to defend you in front of the boss, so I have listed some of the contents that need to be paid to compensate for the loss."

Cheng couldn't help laughing after receiving the bill with more than a dozen charging items. She carefully folded up this wayward and unreasonable bill and put it away.

"Okay, I will pay another day..."

"Mamon, why are you here!"

When even Levi rushed in suddenly, Squalo couldn't help but have a little annoyed thought of "what the hell is going on".

"Why are you here??!"

"Huh? I'm here to look for Mamon, and it's time for a mission soon."

Levi, who didn't understand the situation, replied inexplicably, and then he noticed that Cheng was here, and suddenly became awkward and rude.

"Hey—you rude woman!" He said harshly, as if trying to cover up, "Don't think that I have a good impression of you because of the previous incident, this is just out of long-term consideration for the boss's own interests But... damn it, she is just an incompetent woman, and she is treated differently by the boss..."

As he spoke, he suddenly became genuinely jealous.

"I, Levi, will never allow it! Damn it! After all, wouldn't it be better to let you be dealt with by the boss?!"

... This person is not good at all.

Squalo thought blankly.

"So what about you, why are you here?"

Mamon: "Come to collect the bill."

Lusilia: "Come to a girls' party."

"Don't understand, you bastard! What I mean is that there is absolutely no need for irrelevant people to appear here!" Squalo was so angry that his veins popped out, "And Lusilia, your job is to guard! It's not a girls' party! No Women. Sons. Gather. Meet!"

At this moment, the watchman in black uniform knocked tremblingly on the wide open door, obviously frightened by the angry Squalo.

Squalo took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"...It's like this, someone trespassed on Valia headquarters 15 minutes ago..."

"Wouldn't it be better to kill it!"

"but……"

The watchman turned his gaze to the back in distress, and Bell, who was hiding there and pointing a knife at the innocent employee of Valia, finally jumped out impatiently.

"Where did you take Cheng, have you killed it? If you do this, the prince will chop up the next advisor like pudding."

Cheng, who heard the voice, poked his head out from behind Luce.

"Bell?"

"Cheng?"

Belphegor immediately gave up the confrontation here, and ran towards Cheng cheerfully, even Squalo forgot to stop him for a moment.

"The prince thought you were dead." The little boy stood on tiptoe and hugged Cheng's neck affectionately, "If you die, the prince will have to put you...uh..."

Although Bell possessed an unfathomably rich knowledge of anatomy for his age, he probably hit a blind spot when it came to cadaver preservation.

He described it with difficulty.

"Ugh, soaked in a can with sticky liquid..."

"Anyway, I'm still fine." Cheng changed the subject indiscriminately, "Next time, don't rush into dangerous places casually. If something unusual happens, you can contact Squalo first..."

"Then I'll kill the brat cleanly before the automatic defense system sifts him."

Squalo said with a terrifying expression, tore Bell from Cheng's arms, grabbed Cheng's arm, and pulled her out.

Luce screamed, "Squalo, you..."

"It's shift time."

Squalo didn't turn around, but just held Cheng's hand firmly.

"I took this guy away."

There seemed to be anger in Squalo's heart. He walked quickly through Valia's corridor, and Cheng Dan, who was dragged by his wrist, was struggling to keep up with his pace.

"Since when did you become used to staying between us?"

He gritted his teeth and asked.

"I……"

As soon as Cheng made a sound, the other party quickened his pace again, Cheng almost staggered a small step, and the place where he held him was painful because of the uncontrolled strength.

She didn't exclaim in surprise, but turned her wrist and grabbed the opponent forcefully.

"I want to be your companion—"

Squalo stopped abruptly, he looked back at Cheng, her eyes were bright and clear.

"I don't think it's a wrong thing to do."

When he looked into those eyes, he forgot for a moment that she was just one of the most vulnerable among thousands of human beings.

That's what's scary about her.

"...Don't get me wrong, there is no so-called companionship between Valia."

Squalo let go, his pupils were cold.

"Do you really have the consciousness to become our—"

accomplice.

The voice from the communicator prevented Squalo from saying that word. He remained silent until he finished receiving the order before looking back at the girl in front of him.

"Boss wants to see you."

When Cheng saw Xanxus, he was leaning on the bench in the garden alone, not wearing a heavy suit jacket. In this luxurious Italian terrace garden, except for the sound of water flowing from the earthen pot in the hands of the goddess into the pool, there was nothing but Yu Ta's wine glass's tiniest sound of shattered ice colliding.

Xanxus stared at the amber liquid flowing in the glass boredly, the meeting was clearly facilitated under his will, but he didn't raise his head until Cheng came to his side.

Cheng was not embarrassed by such an attitude, if she hadn't seen his wine glass, she wouldn't have interrupted the silence.

"Don't drink hard liquor until you're cured."

she says.

Xanxus hooked the corner of his mouth, and raised the wine glass to her face.

"It's your own request."

Seeing Cheng hesitated a little, he ordered without a doubt.

"Take it."

Cheng blinked, but her fingertips still touched the smooth and cold wall of the glass. She held the glass and drank it down.

The unaccustomed feeling of the spicy liquid flowing down her esophagus made her cough uncontrollably.

And the instigator looked at her quietly and calmly, neither showing any guilt nor mocking her embarrassment.

This level of alcohol was still too unbearable for her, Cheng supported the armrest of the bench, wiped away the choked tears, and felt that her internal organs seemed to be slightly hot.She steadied her body slightly and tried to put the empty cup back to its original place, but when she just bent over, she was suddenly dragged down on the bench.

Alcohol still paralyzed her nerves, Cheng stared blankly at the grape leaves that suddenly came into view above her head, and then the shadow of Xanxus covered half of the sky she could see.

"Cried?"

He narrowed his eyes and asked her with a cold expression, but his voice was teasing.

"No."

She waved away the other's hand that wanted to touch the corner of her wet eyes, and the burning sensation gradually receded, replaced by lightness and fumes, and she couldn't help becoming tough and childish.

"Forcing people to do things they don't like is a very bad habit, didn't I tell you that, xanxus?"

"Did you say that?"

Xanxus showed amazing tolerance and patience during this moment that no one else knew except the two.

He put his fingers into her hair, took off her hair accessories, and said to her.

"I only listen to what I want to hear."

"...It seems that this is indeed the case."

She became slightly frustrated, at this time xanxus brushed her long hair away and found the small earrings on her earbones, when his hand touched the earrings, Cheng subconsciously struggled.

"don't want……"

Xanxus grabbed her wrist with one hand, easily suppressed the resistance, took off the earring with the other hand, a cluster of flames ignited from his hand, and burned it instantly.

He slightly raised his hand, and the charred remains of the communicator were thrown into the pool and sank.

"xanxus..."

Cheng said in a daze, but the other party didn't want to get entangled in this topic, he simply interrupted her and moved his hand to her chest.

"Has the wound here ever hurt again?"

"...No," she said. "It's been a long time since healed."

The position he touched gradually moved down, and stopped at Cheng Cheng's right side rib.

"What about here?"

"It has recovered a long time ago, and it only looked serious at that time."

"So……"

Finally his hand landed on her upper arm.

"I'm going to forget."

Cheng smiled lightly.

"You mean the place where you burned when we first met?"

He didn't answer.

"That time was really painful..."

She stared at the face of the man in front of her, and his eyes gradually overlapped with those of many years ago.

"You who doubt everyone and reject everyone already have so many people who support and follow you." Her gaze flickered gently, "Maybe it won't be long before I can leave here with peace of mind..."

"Leaving here, where do you want to go?"

xanxus said coldly.

"I have no idea……"

Cheng's energy was finally exhausted by the alcohol, she didn't notice the danger in the other person's voice, closed her eyes, and murmured.

"Maybe... another place where you can see the sea..."

Cheng's consciousness fell into a haze.

"...it doesn't matter where you want to go."

Xanxus stared at her sleeping face, and slowly got up.

"No matter where it is, you can't reach it."

"The only place you can go is here."

The young swordsman who had been standing still, his figure concealed by vines and sculptures, felt a heavy and dull pain belatedly when he heard these words.

He turned around and left as silently as he had come.
