Thanks for the invitation. I am a parasite in Terra.

Putting the thought behind him, Zuo Jian turned to look at Ravshini.

"Rafushini, don't you want to ask me something?"

"Ah."

"Go ahead and ask. Don't be so reserved."

The girl put down her knife and fork, then raised her eyes slightly and looked towards the left, and spoke as if she was choosing her words.

"please......"

"Tell me your...real name."

"You're not called Norman Smith, are you?"

Chapter 109, Zuo Jian: Save my teeth! Doctor!

"Ah... I didn't expect you to figure it out... You're really perceptive."

Zuo Jian scratched his head, showing a helpless look.

"Tsk, this guy even has a fake name, how can we trust you?"

Abbrana answered as if looking for trouble.

And Ravshini just looked down at the plate silently, then slowly answered.

"Because, every time I called out your name, your eyes were like the surface of a lake without ripples."

"You will only react when your full name is read out completely... But in most cases, only the first few parts of a person's name that sound similar will attract attention..."

"Am i right?"

Weicao raised his head, but did not say anything definite. He just pretended to put forward a hypothesis, as if to indicate that Zuojian could also completely deny this hypothesis.

but----

"Phew, indeed, you guessed it right, my real name is not Norman Smith."

"If you want, you can call me Zuojian in private."

"It's a surname that has a Yan style. The left character for direction is the surname, and the right character for gap is the given name."

He didn't need to lie to the kids about this; it would be too calculating if he did.

After all, it was too hypocritical for him to say that he intended to educate them in a different way from that of Earl Warwick and then fail to do something as basic as being honest.

"Of course, if possible, you two should still remember to call me Norman Smith outside."

Ravshini opened her mouth slightly and silently chanted his name. After repeating it several times, she nodded slightly as if she had accepted something.

"Ah."

"Tsk, hypocrisy."

Abrana turned her head away and muttered in annoyance.

"Also, aren't you the second-in-command of the gang? Are you the only one who can make the decision to adopt us? Aren't you afraid that if something is exposed, the duke behind you will do something?"

Standing up, Abrana asked her own questions.

At least on this point, she had to be clear.

"In fact, why do you think I'm the second in command? Because that's what the outside world says?"

Zuo Jian leaned back in his chair and silently made a shushing sound.

gesture.

In fact, he was right.

He is the gang leader.

He is also the second in command.

Even the girl at the front desk could be him.

As for what Abrana thinks, it depends on her. At least Zuo Jian didn't lie.

.....Ahem, in fact, it is impossible for adults to tell everything to their children, right?

Although he didn't intend to educate them according to Warwick's method, sometimes, a necessary, small... incomplete cover-up for adults is acceptable!

Just like when Zuo Jian was a kid, his father’s answer to the topic of taking him to KFC Crazy Thursday was always “next time for sure.”

Well, that makes sense.

He lowered his head. He didn't know what others thought, but Zuo Jian had no objection.

"What... Tsk, you are really a hypocritical guy."

Abrana was slightly stunned, as if she understood something.

It turned out to be the case.

Is the guy who has always been the leader in the public's impression just a shield? !

The real boss of this gang...is actually the number two guy who usually keeps his head down and does things quietly?

Is there actually such a practice?

Thinking of this, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Lafshini beside her.

"?"

"No...it's okay."

"Also.....about the Duke behind this. You actually know even this kind of thing?"

Speaking of this, Abrana was stunned, and then she saw Zuo Jian approaching her, putting his hands on her shoulders and showing a frightening smile.

"...It's just...necessary understanding."

"Really? It's necessary to understand..."

Zuo Jian lowered his head slightly, as if thinking about something.

"Abrana, I'm curious about something."

He opened his mouth, as if asking a question.

"You——Regarding the blood flowing in your body and the things behind it, how much of your contact with it is the Earl of Warwick's teaching, and how much is your personal wish?"

There was a strong pause in Zuo Jian's voice, especially -

When it comes to the four words "personal will".

However, facing Zuo Jian, who at this moment had a slightly oppressive aura, Abrana felt a long-lost, familiar feeling.

She slapped her left hand away and spoke with a wicked smile.

"What are you talking about, Uncle Zuojian~"

"Isn't it the spiral of violence and greed that flows in Draco's veins?"

"No one can control the red dragon. No one."

"Yeah."

Zuo Jian looked at Abrana's appearance and sighed slightly.

"Have you ever thought about what kind of responsibilities you should take after you get everything you expected?"

"responsibility.....?"

There seemed to be a layer of mist in Abrana's eyes.

A word that had never been taken seriously came out of Zuo Jian's mouth.

However, just as she was about to fall into deep thought, Zuo Jian clapped his hands.

"Okay, I roughly understand the situation. Really, you are a typical problem child, Abrana."

He said, patting her head again, ignoring her struggle.

"Also, don't keep thinking about your bloodline, brutality, greed, and other such things. You shouldn't be so immature at your age. Look at your sister, isn't she very normal?"

“H…Hah?! Chuunibana?! Are you kidding me—”

"In fact, I do fit my sister's description to some extent."

As if to rescue Abrana, Ravshini raised her hand and answered like a good student.

"Oh? For example?"

"For example, Draco's usual greed, I think what he said is correct." She said, looking to the left and pointing to her plate.

On the empty plate, there used to be a small piece of exquisite grilled meat.

But it was obvious that the girl's stomach could not be satisfied with...delicacy.

This is Drake.

“Pfft—Ahahaha~ That’s true.”

As if he was amused, Zuo Jian raised his hand and let go of Abrana who was unhappy beside him.

"Okay, Ravshini, take your sister to take a bath and get ready, we'll go...um, barbecue? Although Victoria is not authentic, there should be a few scattered barbecue shops."

Ravshini stepped forward and held Abrana's hand, preparing to return to her room.

"Remember to take too long——"

"Okay, Zuojian..."

Ravshini opened her mouth slightly, and after Zuojian's name, the syllables of two more words floated softly, in a low voice...even Abrana beside her couldn't hear it clearly.

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Nothing... Let's go sis."

call...

Zuo Jian looked at the figure gradually disappearing into the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

so good.

Sometimes...taking care of these children from another world always makes him feel a sense of...familiarity.

It’s like—being a parent?

Phew——It always makes people feel at ease...

No wonder! ! !

"Huh?! Barbecue?!!"

Inside Victoria's rental house.

The left hand attached to Laurentina's body almost bounced out from her shoulder!

"You guys are going to eat barbecue too?!!!"

Laurentina turned her head and looked at Zuo Jian with some confusion, who almost jumped out as if he was stressed.

"What's wrong? Why are you reacting so strongly? It's not that I want to eat...it's mainly because of Skadi."

She said, pointing to Skadi who had even changed her clothes.

"If you don't want to go, forget it—"

"Um....No...not going?"

Skadi was stunned, as if she had been hit by something. For a moment, she could only pull at the corner of Laurentina's clothes and look at him with grievance...

Strictly speaking

He cast a wronged look at Zuo Jian who was looking at Laurentina's shoulder...

....What the fuck.

On the other side...

Zuo Jian opened his eyes in the building and looked at the Drake sisters who had quickly taken a shower and put on their clothes.

"You guys... are too fast."

"I thought that just to dry your hair and body you had to--"
