In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

"Croissant!"

Croissant was hesitating, while on the other side, Archangel grabbed Croissant's shoulders seriously.

A pair of eyes stared at Croissant seriously.

"Croissant!"

"Ok?"

"We are friends, right?"

Exia suddenly asked, but the strange words made Croissant hesitate.

Are they friends?

Of course they are friends!

The two of them have trusted each other for so long on various battlefields, and even gave their backs to each other without reservation. They are closer than brothers, so aren't they friends?

But what puzzled Croissant was why did the Archangel ask this question at this time?

Or is it that the friends that Archangel is talking about now... are not as simple as I understand?

Croissant hesitated.

But the Archangel was pressing for a result.

"Are we friends?"

"probably?"

Croissant was a little unsure.

But such hesitant remarks surprised the Archangel.

"Could it be that...in your heart, we are not yet at the level of friends?"

For a moment, the Archangel sat aside, his expression showing three parts of surprise, three parts of fear, three parts of confusion and even a little bit of deliberateness.

The delicate little face seemed to be crying.

When Croissant saw this expression, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"We're friends... We're friends, okay? Exia, what on earth do you want to do..."

"What do you want to do?"

When asked this by Croissant, Exia's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Of course I'd risk my life for my friends!"

"Ok?"

"I feel a little sorry for Sora, but there's nothing I can do. Texas has finally taken the initiative. No matter what, we should help her, right?"

"Texas's expression has been much softer lately... Doesn't that explain her feelings?"

The Angel of Exorcism smiled.

"Other assistance may not be convenient, but we can still create a quieter environment for them..."

The Archangel said a lot of things, but in the end, it was still just one sentence to sum it up.

She wants to bring Texas and Maria together.

But this attitude aroused Croissant's suspicion.

not right...

Something is wrong with Archangel now...

"Exia…"

"Ok?"

"Are you this kind of person?"

Although Angel is usually unruly, she never makes too many comments or interferes in matters concerning personal feelings.

And now, she actually chose to help Texas for the first time...

"No~ It's just an illusion, I've always been like this~"

The Angel of Exorcism smiled, but did not directly answer Croissant's words. Instead, she turned her head and continued to listen.

"I just simply think that Ms. Maria and Texas are a good match, don't they?"

"But I think Sora and Texas are pretty good too."

Croissant was certain that there was definitely something wrong with Exia!

Let’s not talk about whether it is normal for an angel to interfere with other people’s love affairs.

Logically speaking, even if one wanted to interfere, shouldn't one help Sora first?

After all, we are colleagues who have worked together for so long, so we should help our relatives first!

But the angel was clearly on Maria's side... This made the Kongde croissant a little impatient.

Obviously, without knowing it, Archangel must have known something and had some thoughts about Maria.

It's not like love, nor is it like hostility, but rather a very subtle emotion...

In an instant, Croissant began to feel that Penguin Logistics was unfamiliar.

Weren't we all close friends who spoke frankly in the past?

Why is everyone hiding things and not saying anything now?

Texas is like this... Exiah is like this too, and even Sora has started to secretly contact Lappland!

No! Isn't Penguin Logistics a warm and beautiful family? Don't let it fall apart like this!

In an instant, the innocent croissant felt a strong sense of crisis.

No!

I must do something!

Chapter 126: Two People Facing Each Other

Breakfast doesn't take much time, and Texas and Maria finished their breakfast quickly.

But after finishing breakfast, Maria did not show any intention of leaving in a hurry. Instead, she turned her head strangely and looked to the left and right.

"What's wrong, Ms. Maria?"

Texas asked.

"Is the decoration here making you uncomfortable?"

“…Not really.”

Maria shook her head.

She wasn't so pretentious as to choose a nice place to eat; she was just wondering what was going on with the two rooms around her.

She could clearly feel the presence of living people in both rooms.

One was there before they arrived, and the other was there after they arrived.

But... no matter which room it was, she didn't feel any more movement.

Logically, shouldn't the waiter take their order and then serve the food?

But...no.

There was no more movement from either the people who were in the room from the beginning or the people who came later.

This made Maria alert.

This might be a bit overly sensitive, but Maria was used to it.

At any place, you can keep track of everything going on around you.

Life is something you only have once. Unless you don't want to live anymore, you can never be too careful.

Maria's doubts naturally affected Texas.

She also frowned and thought about it.

enemy?

No...not likely.

This is the place recommended by Angelica. She is sensible. There should be no enemies here. It is a relatively peaceful place.

Then... if it's not the enemy, who else could it be?

Lapland?

That's unlikely. She didn't really like snacks before, so she wouldn't come to a place like this.

Then...who else could it be?

Suddenly, a yellow shadow flashed through Texas's mind.

"null!"

"null?"

Maria tilted her head, but Texas' expression became subtle.

She was not a fool, so she could naturally sense something unusual in Kong's previous communication group.

But what she didn't expect was that Kong could actually chase her here...

If Sora and Maria met...

Texas believed that Kong would not have any conflicts or frictions with Maria, after all, they were both decent people.

At most, they would just ask each other tentatively.

But this is intolerable for Texas.

She could not tolerate that Ms. Maria would face unnecessary troubles because of her own problems.

So after a moment of silence, she raised her head silently.

"Ms. Maria... could you please wait here for a moment?"

After much hesitation, Texas decided to come forward and talk things over with Kong himself.

"...Do you know who it is?"

"I think I know..."

"...I understand. I'll leave it to you."

Maria thought for a while and then leaned back in her chair silently.

Now that Texas was sure, all she could do was trust the other party.

Even if something goes wrong, she is confident that she can protect the other person at this distance.

So I let Texas handle it with confidence.

After getting Maria's approval, Texas did not hesitate, turned around and pushed open the door.

On her left, the door slowly opened as if it had calculated the time...

"..."

Texas lowered his head and silently filled himself with a pocky, his face a little gloomy with his head down.

"I didn't expect you to follow me...Sora."

She spoke first, catching the other person off guard.

"……Um."

Beside, the woman hesitated for a moment and then gave a dull response.

"Actually, I know some things... but I didn't respond before because I felt that we were all friends and there was no need to sour the relationship..."

"Fighting together, playing around together, having noisy parties together...it's actually pretty good."
