Don’t Confiscate My Citizenship

Chapter 90 Lanqi is just a little bit away from heaven

In the early morning in the royal capital of Ikerita, the sky was filled with a light blue. In this cool autumn, the air in the entire city was particularly fresh.

 On the east side of Icerite College, after crossing two streets, there are many shops on the street.

 The smell of cooking smoke and the aroma of breakfast oats and cheese drifted from a small restaurant.

Lan Qi stood at the door of the store with a slightly puzzled expression, looking up at the two-story wooden house with a typical architectural style. There was a signboard at the door with "Cat Boss Restaurant" engraved on it.

Although the entire building is constructed of slightly rustic brown wood, its shape and decoration are full of old Victorian charm. The large-area roof is elegantly curved, and the eaves far exceed the walls, giving people a sense of spaciousness. The space forms a balcony where you can relax, talk or even dine. A string of wind chimes hangs under the deep eaves. Whenever the breeze blows, it will make a pleasant ringing sound.

 This is what Talia told Ranchi, her new address.

 It seems that although it is a restaurant, the second floor will also be rented out as a hotel.

If you rent here for a long time, the rent should not be very high. The most important thing is that Lan Qi believes that the food here must be very unique and delicious, so that it will be favored by the food detector Thalia.

As soon as Lan Qi opened the door, there was a sound of "ding bell~ ding bell~", and the exquisite pavilion structure of the restaurant came into view. The simple layout divided the tables and chairs on the first floor into several areas. In addition to the counter at the door, there is the entrance to the back kitchen or the second floor.

It seems that this store does not specialize in breakfast, so there are not many customers at this time. Even the clerk behind the counter has to take care of the food delivery work.

“Hello, I would like to find Miss Tata who lives here.”

Lan Qi waited leisurely in front of the counter for a while, and didn't ask until the delivery lady came back behind the counter.

"Ms. Tata...I'm sorry, I just came to work in this store recently, so I'm not very familiar with the residents living in the store."

 The clerk looked slightly confused, then apologized and explained to Lan Qi.

 She looks very young, seems to be of the same age, and works here part-time.

"If you can describe her characteristics, although I can't reveal to you which room the guest lives in, I can go to the second floor to help you find her."

 The clerk said in a friendly manner.

 She felt that Lan Qi didn't look like a bad person, he seemed to be a very kind and gentle young man.

"Well, she is very beautiful. She is 168 centimeters tall. She looks about 20 to 25 years old. She has long gray hair and golden eyes. She has an ideal healthy figure. She has never given birth to a child. She talks very little and never smiles. "

Lanchi began to vividly describe Thalia’s characteristics.

Last time in his hometown of Nanwantina, he failed to successfully describe Talia in words to the housekeeper. Since then, Lanqi has been thinking about how to describe her through written information in as detailed and perfect a way as possible.

Before Lan Qi finished speaking, he felt a sudden chill in his back for no apparent reason.

 Soon a cold hand pressed on his shoulder.

Behind him, there seemed to be a pair of indifferent golden eyes of an absolute superior, exuding terrifying magic power that oppressed his whole body.

The clerk seemed to feel that the temperature of the entire restaurant had dropped by two degrees. She rubbed her shoulders with a chill and couldn't help but tremble.

 “Are you talking about the lady behind you?”

 She raised her hand slightly doubtfully, pointed to Lan Qi's side, and asked cautiously.

"…probably."

 Lanqi kept his ever-changing smile and slowly tilted his head.

He can only move his head, and his body can't move at all, as if it's pressed against a mountain.

Lanchi saw Thalia standing behind him.

The slender hands seemed to be ready to crush his shoulders at any time, while the other hand was holding a carton of Ikerite sea salt flavored cheese biscuits.

This kind of biscuit is easily sold out every morning, so people in the capital have to get up early to queue up to buy it.

　　"Good morning, Teacher Tata." 　　　Seeing that Talia's appetite was as good as ever, Lan Qi was relieved.

 It seemed that she had a great time during the two days when she was away.

 Just a little worried that she will gain weight.

 After all, she is so old and has a bad personality. If she gains weight, it will be even harder for her to get married.

 “You come with me.”

Thalia slowly let go of her hand, her voice not revealing any emotion or anger.

  But every word carries murderous intent.

　　After Lanci thanked the clerk, he didn’t dare to say anything anymore and followed Thalia obediently along the creaking wooden stairs to the second floor.

 Walking to the deepest part of the corridor, Thalia took out the key from her pocket and opened the door to her new residence.

 “Go in.”

Thalia said coldly.

Lan Qi naturally did not dare to hesitate and quickly stepped into the room.

“Tata, you have a good sense...”

 He looked around the hut and couldn't help but sigh.

The ceiling is made of wooden boards and diagonal beams, with a glass skylight. The tilted angle gives the room a sense of a terrace where you can look up at the stars at night.

The walls are painted a soft cream, light orange and beige intertwined, warm and bright, and the wooden furniture has a natural texture after being carefully polished by the owner of this restaurant.

Thalia ignored Lanci, walked past him, and sat on the only wooden armchair in the living room.

Lanci looked at the small coffee table next to the lounge chair and several newspapers and magazines, and could probably imagine how Talia usually stayed at home to take care of herself.

　　While Lan Qi was thinking, Thalia's eyes turned to him again.

Although Thalia had no evidence, she now had a stronger intuition that Lan Qi was always thinking of something particularly damning.

 Over time, with curiosity and stimulation, the feedback from her innate magic has become increasingly stronger. At least she can now be sure that every time Lan Qi stays with her, this guy's mental activities are extremely active.

The only thing Thalia wants to do right now, besides restoring her country, is to break through her gifted magic from lie detection to being able to read minds as soon as possible to see what Lanqi is thinking.

 “Why do you come to me?”

Thalia asked with a cold expression.

 She had actually wanted to go to Lan Qi to inquire about what happened in the Demonic Shadow World two days ago.

 But when she thought that Lan Qi might be smiling on the outside every day while thinking about something deserving of death, she felt furious.

 So I haven't decided when to contact him yet, so I just wait for him to come to me.

 I didn’t expect Lan Qi to take the initiative to find him so quickly.

 It seems that this human being is more dependent on himself than he thought.

 But it turned out to be true.

Seeing him made me feel bad again.
