Chapter 1273 No. 180: Raccoon and Ghost Snake
"Can I move now?"

"Wait a minute, Omer hasn't responded yet. By the way, how's your situation? What did Luzas say?"

"What else can I say? It's just the same old work news, and the work content is still those meaningless messages and deliveries... These weirdos don't care at all about me being attacked by Zero!"

“Is the salary still the same?”

“Why pay attention to this?”

"It's a job after all, it would be strange if you don't pay attention to the salary, right?"

"Raccoon... you are becoming more and more like a human."

"Your ID card says you're not human?"

"That's not what I'm talking about!"

"Is there a difference? Omar would also pay attention to these things, do you think he is like a human being?"

"..."

"Why don't you talk?"

"I'm wondering what to say..."

"Hey~ You've changed too, you're still so hesitant."

"Stop talking so much! I just think that some of the things you say will have very troublesome consequences!"

"If he considers the consequences, he's no longer the Oni Snake that everyone knows," He sighed, "Does the beatings that Omer and Serosan gave you and your monster have this additional effect?"

"It's lurking!" Ghost Snake said angrily, "They said they wanted me to play myself, but I still have to be careful!"

"I've been troubled by so many things lately!"

"I think what Omar meant by 'playing yourself' is what he meant." He, who was half-lying on the sofa in the office's living room watching TV, raised his hand and grabbed some potato chips from the bamboo basket, crunching them.

"Didn't I tell you before? You can just beat up that Dada guy you're complaining about, if you can beat him."

"I did call, but there was still no movement."

"Could it be because I didn't beat him hard enough?" Looking at the raccoons introduced by the horse girls on the screen, he thought for a moment and then asked, "Didn't he take revenge on you?"

"When I say there was no movement, I mean he didn't retaliate against me."

"Is it possible that the silence above is his way of revenge..." He guessed and paused because of the message that popped up on his phone.

"Wait a minute," she quickly picked up a tissue, wiped her hands and picked up the phone, "Omar has called me back, I'll tell him about your situation."

"Oh," Ghost Snake nodded, and then added, "Have you been imitating that guy Omer?"

"what?"

"No," He said, and then added, "But his reply told you not to think about it and to get ready to start work at 14:36."

"Oh." Guishe responded, and began to organize the toolbox he had to carry with him these days, and took out a clay model with metal accessories.

"But I really feel that your way of speaking is becoming more and more like his style. When you mentioned him just now, I was thinking about how to say this."

"What's there to think about? Why are you worried about this?" After replying the message, Raccoon lay down again, and his uneasy little hands reached for the snacks again.

Unlike Qian, Miss He, who has been engaged in food exploration for a long time, even if we ignore the time spent on trams and subways, she still exercises tens of thousands of steps a day, which makes her a literal runner. The problem of dietary calories is not urgent for her.

Of course, it’s just not urgent.

In fact, if you pay close attention to the originally conspicuous thigh outline, you will find that the value is expanding with the version changes, and it can be said that it is slowly moving towards the field where Holhaiya is.

But obviously, her companions would not point out such a problem, and although her landlord and boss hesitated to speak, he still gave up the words that could easily escalate to "sexual harassment in the workplace."

This also created Miss He, who has the most carefree life in the entire office.

There is no need to go to school or work overtime, and I only work occasionally but it is enough. On weekdays, I either stay in the office alone during the day or go out to explore shops.

During holidays, I can drag Miss Shinjo out to explore stores, and when the opportunity arises, I can also drag Omar out to explore stores.

Having fun and eating all the way can be said to be the life that many people dream of, and she is obviously aware of this. While being very content with the status quo, she also holds an indifferent attitude towards many things.

Instead, she is in a state that is ambiguous with the time when she returned to Taiwan. Although her attitude towards life has undergone a major change and she no longer worries about the question of "what to do", her daily behavior is still as aimless and idle as in the past.

Her companions were always speechless about her lazy attitude.

They even discussed privately whether Omar had spoiled the raccoon. "Uh... I was thinking of the captain and the princess... How should I describe it? I can't find the words."

Love, promise, and shelf life

Guishe had heard from the princess and the captain about the three things that people should not violate, but he had no feelings about them at all. He just felt that the words of each of them were incompatible with his own destiny.

He could almost imagine the embarrassment and subsequent ridicule he would face if he uttered that word, and it would most likely spread quickly throughout the small group.

When it comes to imagining shame, our thinking always leaps forward.

I heard that people in this world even have their own recording system when they make phone calls. Could it be that Raccoon does the same?

Guishe has indeed become more thoughtful recently and can even think of this, but this only proves that he is indeed not suitable for thinking about these things.

Especially when he spoke so carefully, he received a surprised response from the other party:
"Huh? A relationship? Me and Omer?"

"Oh, yes! Yes! It's dating..." The ghost snake only remembered the existence of such a 'modern word' after the other party reminded him. He suddenly came to the present from the loss of words five thousand years ago, but he also realized the frankness of the other party when he said these, as if he was not shaken at all.

“…Did I misunderstand?” The red-haired guy, who was extremely conservative about such topics, asked in surprise.

"Otherwise, why would I be dating him?" He complained calmly, then fell silent for a moment, "I don't even know what dating is."

"..."

silence.

It was not until the other party said this that Ghost Snake suddenly realized that he had forgotten that He was the most special guy among his group -

——Although they woke up together, she was the only one in the team who had no memories and was completely a blank slate.

If she hadn't been called over by Shen at the beginning, God knows where she would have wandered off on her own.

Even if she was told her identity and everyone's goal, and asked to follow everyone, this girl always looked unreal and lacked motivation.

During that period of time, He's sense of being out of place was so strong that it was hard to ignore, but even if she was left alone, she would still be out of place with the people around her.

The uneasiness and confusion of a person with amnesia are always particularly vivid, and Guishe never forgot the fact that this person had lost his memory at that time.

On the contrary, after arriving in this so-called Terra Federation world, Ghost Snake almost forgot this guy's memory in just a few months.

How on earth could a guy who had only been conscious for a few months adapt so well to this place? Was it because of the food she kept thinking about?

He couldn't figure it out, but using his brain wasn't his job.

His usual style was to stand up, put down these messy thoughts, blame the Ten-Driver who had talked nonsense and reminded him of these things, and then look at the model in his hand.

"Why didn't you speak suddenly?"

Suddenly, the raccoon opened his mouth, making him let out a cry.

So the topic is not over yet? Mr. Guishe, who has serious lack of experience in peaceful communication with women, is confused.

"Are you trying to laugh at me? Laugh at me for reading those comics and still not understanding what dating and love are?"

"?"

A big question mark appeared in Guishe’s mind.

Even though the other party had explained the reason for his misstep very clearly, he was a ghost snake after all.

Guishe didn't know how he stepped on the landmine, and he didn't understand what this guy was suddenly shouting about.

"What kind of ridicule is that? I don't understand. I don't want to chat with you anymore. I have to get to work."

The red-haired man with three white eyes who was good at speaking his mind saw that the time was almost up, so he put the model on the ground and raised his hands to spread them out in front of his eyes.

"Instance Domination!!"

He means what he says.

ACG learning tips:

Three-white eyes is one of the cute attributes of ACG subculture. The term originated from ancient Chinese physiognomy. It originally referred to the eye features of small pupils and wide whites on three sides of the eye sockets.

This feature is generally regarded as a fierce look. In two-dimensional works, it is either used as a simple feature with small pupils, or it is used specifically to emphasize that the character is rough, vicious, or dull/cute.

People like Levi, Natsuki Subaru, Takasu Ryuji, Accelerator, and Krillin.

There is a certain degree of overlap between the two labels "three white eyes" and "dead fish eyes", mainly in terms of dullness and lack of vitality, but once the emphasis is on descriptions such as ferocity, the tag will definitely be "three white eyes".
