Hey guys, I like Two-dimensional

Chen Ling felt a little regretful in his heart.

Then, pick up an ink pen inserted in the pen holder and start blacking out.

He used the tip of the ink pen to trace the area of ​​the x from the inside, and then blacked it all out.

Although the job itself just repeats this step, the shape and range of blackening are different, coupled with the pressure not to stain the original, this usually brings an unusual sense of tension to the novice.

However, although Chen Ling is a rookie, he will not be nervous because of his own situation.Although Chen Ling still works carefully, Chen Ling's speed is unimaginable.

I don't know how long it took, but after Chen Ling blacked out all the manuscripts at hand, Erya walked into the room again.

"Oh~~~Have you finished applying it? Well, it was applied very well and it was pretty fast."

"Well, it was just a matter of funding that I didn't succeed. That doesn't mean I don't have talent. Although, you don't need talent just to do simple work."

Chen Ling shrugged his shoulders and said.Then he turned his shoulders, stretched his body that had been in the same posture, stretched and relaxed.

Then, Chen Ling, who was still stretching, froze the moment he raised his head and looked at Erya.

"...What are you doing?"

At this moment, Chen Ling didn't know what expression he should show.

There was no other reason, it was all because for some reason, Erya's outfit in front of her changed from the home clothes just now to a very revealing maid outfit. The skirt was inexplicably short and the chest was cut very low.

By the way, why the maid outfit?Is it possible that Ning is also a 'big wet'?Are you a friend of the origami guy?

Recalling the situation where Origami invited him to her house after the incident ended, but ended up pretending to be a maid on the bed to try to seduce him, Chen Ling had to wonder if Erya was also 'damp'.

Of course, Origami's parents were not at home at that time, otherwise Origami wouldn't have done such a thing.By the way, in front of her parents, origami is what the long-haired origami personality should do, so her parents won't feel strange to her.

After all, for Origami, it was five years ago, but for Origami's parents, it was like they fell asleep for a while, and when they woke up, five years had passed, and they already felt unimaginably strange to this world. , so Origami doesn’t want to continue to irritate the other party, and usually lets them deal with the long-haired Origami personality that they are already familiar with.

Getting back to the subject, Origami is a 'big wet', but the other party only does that to Chen Ling and Shi Zhi, so what's going on with Erya?Don't tell him, is it possible that Erya met Chen Ling when she was a child, fell in love with him after a series of things, and is now ready to take the initiative like Origami?

"Why are you dressed like this?"

"Huh? Oh~~~This is it? I bought it for reference before. I wore it to help you cheer up and take care of your eyes. Didn't I say that I would give you a little more sweetness in terms of salary? How about it? Although I don't have breasts, But the figure isn’t that bad, right?”

"I guess that's not how the salary bonus is given!"

Chen Ling stretched out his body and Erya complained loudly.In response, Erya waved the envelope bag on her hand.

"You're kidding, you're kidding. I'm really just wearing this outfit to make you look good. Here, here's your salary."

Just when Erya was about to hand the envelope bag to Chen Ling, her eyes sparkled as if she had remembered something.

Then a playful smile appeared on his face, he opened the chest of the maid uniform and stuffed the envelope inside.

"Come on, young man. Your salary-"

"Hey...what are you doing!"

"What does it matter? Come on, take it now~~~"

After finishing speaking, Erya curled up her shoulders and squeezed out her chest, and slowly approached Chen Ling.

As a result, the envelope bag slipped from the hem of the clothes with a "pop" sound.

"..."

"..."

Under Chen Ling's silent gaze, Erya collapsed on the ground with a look of deep shock.

"Um...Is it a crime to have flat chests?"

No, I said nothing and I didn't do anything.You did this yourself, and then you were deeply hit without permission.

The corner of Chen Ling's mouth twitched slightly, feeling that he complained more today than in the past few days.

"...Ahem, it's almost time for me to go home."

Sweat dripped from Chen Ling's cheeks and he started packing his things to go home.I always feel that if this continues, I don’t know how many years or months it will take before I can go home.

"Eh? Don't you want the salary?"

"No need. I've also experienced valuable experience."

"Hey, how can this be done? You can use the money to buy some delicious things."

"It's you, you have to eat obediently even if it's not something delicious."

After Chen Ling narrowed his eyes and finished speaking, Erya's eyes widened in surprise.

"Wow, what touching feeling is this?"

"I have no intention of breaking your heart... Goodbye. Don't pass out on the side of the road next time."

Just when Chen Ling waved his hand and was about to leave the room, Erya hurriedly grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Wait...wait...wait a moment! I can't accept this!"

"Even if you say so..."

Chen Ling looked troubled.So Erya slapped her palms.

"Ah, otherwise this would be great. Boy, are you free this Saturday?"

"Huh? Why do you ask so suddenly?"

"When I finish this manuscript and I can take a day off, I'll be kind enough to go on a date with you. Ah~~~of course I'll pay for the date."

"what?"

Hearing these unexpected words, Chen Ling blinked, feeling both surprised and moved.

This time when Chen Ling goes back, he will definitely discuss Erya's affairs with Qinli, and he will also have to investigate the other party's situation.

It would be fine if the other party was not an elf. If the other party was, then this date would come in time.And this was also the reason why Chen Ling was a little moved.After all, even if the other party is not an elf, it is just a date and will not cause much damage.

"Ah, but it's up to me to choose the date venue. I haven't bought anything recently. I want to go to Akihabara, which I haven't been to for a long time."

Erya said this with a smile in a relaxed tone.

However, Chen Ling instantly saw through the other party's true thoughts and laughed.

"You want me to help you carry your things?"

"Ah! It was exposed so quickly!"

Erya overreacted and struck a pose of surprise.

"By the way, why are you so familiar with me? We just met for the first time today. Even if I carry you back, you directly invite me to go on a date. Although there is an ulterior motive, compared to me, you can't look for you. Do you want to go with your friends?”

While Chen Ling was puzzled, he was also slightly testing.

"..."

After Chen Ling finished speaking, Erya's expression suddenly turned gloomy.

However, she immediately returned to her previous attitude and scratched her head.

"Haha, no, because I have no friends."

After saying this, he narrowed his eyes meaningfully.

"──By the way, can you really let this opportunity go? I don't believe you don't realize the problem. Doesn't this date come just in time?"

"Ok?"

Chen Ling frowned when he heard Erya's meaningful way of speaking.In response, Erya raised the corner of her mouth and continued:

"──Isn't it your job to make the elf fall in love with you, young man? In other words, I should call you your name-'Chen Ling'."

"!?"

Chapter 517 Is It Bad To Live?

There was a small "click-click" sound.It didn't take the man long to realize that it was coming from his own molars.

However, it's not because the temperature in this place is very low.It's true that there's a December chill outside, but the office is covered in thick glass and air conditioning circulates throughout the room, keeping the temperature comfortable.

However, the man named Knox kept trembling.The hands and feet covered with bandages and patches kept shaking, and his breathing became increasingly rapid.

But this phenomenon isn't unique to Knox.The man standing next to him, his whole body covered in bandages──His subordinate Patton also had the same nervous expression on his face.

Because it's very simple-

"......Um."

A man sitting on a chair in front of the two of them cast his eyes on the document in his hand and groaned softly.

"......!"

"────!"

The man just made this action, and cold sweat broke out on Knox and Barton's faces.

He was a white male, with dark ash-blond hair that looked like rust.The shape of the eyes is as sharp as two cuts on the face, and the dark eyes sit quietly in them.

He looks very young, maybe only 35 years old at most.However, for some reason, he exuded an aura of sophistication that did not match his age, making him overall feel less young than he looked.In fact, even Knox, who is about to turn 48 this year, dare not admit that he is younger than himself.

However, this may be a matter of course, because the man in front of him is not ordinary.He is the genius who established the world-famous DEM Industry company by his generation alone, and is also a monster in the financial world, Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott.

Logically speaking, he is not someone that mere pilots like Knox and Patton can meet.And of course they have their reasons for being here.

"Mr. Westcott, what exactly do we..."

Barton said in a voice as small as a mosquito.Knox didn't move his eyes and answered in a voice that Westcott couldn't hear:

"...Shh, don't talk."

"..."

When Barton heard what Knox said, he fell silent and stopped speaking.

Knox understood Barton's uneasiness very well, but even talking about his state of mind here could not improve the situation.Not only that, it may even worsen the already bad situation.All they could do now was remain as silent as a stone, waiting for instructions.

That's right.The reason why Knox and Barton were called to this room was not to reward them for their achievements─but to question them about their fatal mistakes.

A few days ago, Knox and Barton were transporting "Material A" from the experimental facility on Neril Island in the Pacific Ocean - the elves captured by DEM Company in the past. On the way, they were attacked mysteriously from nowhere, causing the elves to escape.

Of course, Knox and the two were not willing to let the elf escape. It was an accident caused by many accidents and variables happening at the same time.

However, as long as you understand how strong Westcott's obsession with the elves is, you can immediately understand the reason for this situation and how the two people's punishment is not important at all.

All kidding aside, Westcott is a man who can influence the domestic economy with the move of a finger.If he wanted to, he could easily put Knox and Patton on the streets.

No--Knox rejected this idea in his mind.Knowing that he had to assume the worst possible outcome, the punishment he imagined was "too light".

"..."

Knox was silent and glanced at Westcott's next door.

There stood a young girl with her long light blond hair tied up.

At first glance, one might think that she is just a secretary, but──that is not the case.She is none other than the magician who manages the second execution department of DEM Industry, Ellen Mira Mathers, who is known as the strongest magician.

A human being who can distinguish himself from the powerful spirits and transcend the human realm.As long as Westcott gives instructions, she will not hesitate to let the heads of Knox and the two fall to the ground.

It is said that he was seriously injured and almost died due to an encounter with a powerful enemy some time ago.However, looking at the way the other party is now uninjured, I guess that rumor is just a rumor.

"Tick, tick-"

The clock on the wall sounded extremely loud.To Knox's ears, it sounded like footsteps going up the steps to the guillotine.

"──That's what happened."

Westcott raised his eyes from the report.His dark and turbid eyes looked at the faces of Knox and the two of them.

"Mmmm."

His gaze was like a physical force, making the two of them unable to move.Knox felt an indescribable pressure and couldn't help but frown.

However, Westcott didn't seem to care at all. He threw the report on the table and slowly stood up from the chair and approached the two of them.

Then he came in front of the two of them, and opened his lips with a relaxed tone.

──Will there be punishment?Fired?Or will she instruct Elen to clean up these two wastes?

Knox imagined in his mind what words would come out of Westcott's mouth, gritted his teeth, and closed his eyes.

However-

"You two have worked hard. As long as you use the display device to treat, the injury will recover immediately. Return to work immediately after the body rests."
