Beautiful And Powerful But Fragile

Chapter 9

What should he do when he left school during the holidays?

Walk on the road?

Watch a movie?

Tour the exhibition hall?

Sorry, as a gem man who left school for the first time, Diamond said that he didn't even know the way.

It was different from getting lost in a broad sense. He really didn't know the things and things that appeared on the road.

Standing in the bustling crowd, his thoughts seemed to be floating in the air.

Pedestrians brushed past each other, and the surging heat waves swayed one after another.

Diamond carefully hugged his arms so that he wouldn't be hit by the running children. He tiptoed slowly with the crowd.

The bold and naughty child wouldn't let him go.

Weak and tender hands suddenly climbed onto his hair. It was the child who was riding on the tall man's neck trying to climb onto Diamond.

"…"

"I'm very sorry!

You're too dazzling. My son mistook you for the glass statue at home. "

"It's all our fault. We didn't take care of my son. I'm so sorry. Please forgive us!"

The tall man and the petite woman beside him hurriedly took the child back when they found out. They bowed to Diamond apologetically. In the end, they lowered their voice and educated the child, "Say sorry to your sister.

Really, it's rude to treat a girl like this. "

Diamond bowed back awkwardly and said it's okay. He didn't know if he should explain that he should call him brother and not sister …

The overly formal apology made him a little scared. But what was more frightening was that he almost couldn't suppress his conditioned reflex. If he had attacked the moment the child touched his hair, it would have been terrible.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

After saying goodbye to the family of three, Diamond continued to walk aimlessly. He secretly regretted that he had rejected the new guardian's suggestion to guide him.

"I'm obviously very curious, but after walking all the way here, I don't even know where to start."

He was a little discouraged.

The excitement he felt when he learned that he had officially become a citizen of this world had slowly faded.

Waking up from a deep sleep, he turned around and saw the black cat that had disappeared for the whole night. The little guy was squatting on a chair and licking its fur comfortably.

"Meow Meow is okay. That's great!"

He lifted the blanket and pounced on it, but the cat nimbly dodged and jumped on top of his head with familiarity.

'So this little guy is actually so powerful …'

Diamond tilted his head and couldn't figure it out. He was startled by the deep male voice that suddenly sounded from above.

"Oh, good morning.

I was sent by the government to examine the application submitted by Headmaster Nezin.

Let's cut to the chase. Congratulations on obtaining citizenship, and the event alert has been lifted.

Thank you for taking care of me for the past three days. I'm very satisfied, beautiful little gem. "

"However, you still belong to the government now. You've changed from private property to a family member of a core government official.

By the way, I am your new guardian. Please take care of me in the future. "

Diamond, who thought he had to take good care of the cat, couldn't get over the fact that the cat had been swapped.

"Um, how should I address you?"

"My real name is a secret. Just call me Cat."

"Okay, Mr. Cat.

Can I go out of the school now? "Although it was still a little chaotic, he heard the words" Alert lifted "very clearly.

"Of course.

Do you need a guide?

Due to my work, I'm very familiar with this area. "

"No, thank you for your kindness. I want to walk by myself."

Even though he felt that Headmaster Nezin and King Kong were very similar, Diamond couldn't suddenly think of the cat that he had taken care of for three days as King Kong's teacher.

After rejecting Mr. Cat, Diamond, who went out alone, regretted it an hour later.

Compared to the inside of Xiong Ying School, the outside was more unfamiliar and bustling.

With tall buildings as support and plants as embellishments, it was a completely different world.

Gem Man looked up and looked around. His mouth was slightly open due to surprise.

At first, he just wanted to look around the school, but unknowingly, he was taken to the intersection of dark alleys by the crowd.

He looked around carefully and couldn't see the building signs that belonged to Xiong Ying School anymore.

What was worse was that the moisture in the air suddenly skyrocketed.

It was going to rain.

This conclusion made Diamond feel awkward.

His powdery skin hadn't been changed to a waterproof one, and the sudden rain would expose his true form.

According to the reactions of Dehisa and other students, this was still a bit difficult for humans to accept.

It would be better if someone he knew passed by.

However, even though he kept praying with his hands together, every time he closed and opened his eyes, he still couldn't see any familiar figures.

Diamond felt that he couldn't just sit there and wait for death. He rushed into a nearby shop. A second before the bean-sized raindrops fell.

The translucent curtain outside the door blurred his vision.

"Good afternoon, dear customer.

What can I do for you? "

The main color of the shop was dark blue, and the decorations on the wall were faintly glowing.

The shop wasn't big, and one could see the end of it at a glance.

It was a family doll shop.

A girl with a strange saw-toothed scarf stood behind the counter and asked. Her hands were buried in the shadows, as if she was pulling something. Her cute hairstyle and familiar smile didn't seem to fit together.

"Hello, are you asking me?"

Diamond looked at the girl uneasily. To him, it was still rude to barge into someone else's shop just to avoid the rain.

"If there isn't a second customer, then the one I want to talk to is you."

"Thump!" It was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

The girl used her right hand to support herself on the counter and nimbly jumped out. Dark stains could be faintly seen on the hem of her dark dress.

She tiptoed and stood not far behind Diamond with her hands behind her back. She leaned forward and sniffed at his neck, then immediately grimaced and stuck out her tongue.

"What, there's no smell that I like at all!

I thought it would be an extra reward ~ "

"… Sorry —" Although it was his first time coming into contact with the outside world, he felt that this was too different from the ordinary shop assistants portrayed in "Domineering Hero's Assistant."

"Magnanimous, I'll forgive you." Her tone was forced and self-satisfied.

There was a strange and sticky smell in the air, coming from the direction of the counter.

After the girl finished speaking, she skipped out of the shop, not caring at all about the pouring rain.

He was the only one left in the narrow space.

Suppressing his curiosity to explore the strange smell, Diamond quietly stood at the door and waited for the rain to stop.

It was not a good idea to look around while the owner was not here.

The damp and dark weather made him sleepy. Diamond leaned against the wall and closed his eyes several times. He only woke up when his head hit something hard.

He carefully checked the wall and rubbed his eyes when he found that there were no cracks.

Finally, at sunset, the rain stopped.

The sky was half gray and half warm red. The atmosphere was completely different from the morning, but the number of pedestrians in the city did not decrease.

The girl who left never came back.

Diamond hesitantly looked into the shop and decided to go back before the sun disappeared.

He slightly closed the originally wide open door, found a deserted corner, and jumped to the top of the building in a few steps.

He could see farther from the top, and he could see the top of Xiong Ying buildings that couldn't be seen from the ground.

After determining the direction, Diamond simply jumped between the buildings, which was faster than walking on the crowded street.

Although he didn't know the exact time, he had to get back before eight.

Today's "Domineering CEO's Assistant" had a very important marriage proposal scene!

"Mr. Diamond, I'm sorry to disturb you.

But we need you to come with us to the police station to assist in the investigation of the murder in the doll shop. "
