Chapter 6: Section 6: Every ordinary day is a string of miracles
After the check was complete, when the person in charge left and granted him the freedom to move around in the back hall of the Holy Hall, Malin began to worry about Maya—the little leopard girl might be mischievous, but she had a kind heart, and without her, he would have certainly fallen ill over this past month.
That's right, at home, Gaiate was almost like a mute, either sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper or preparing his weapons.
Malin hardly had any opportunity to communicate with him, and in the apartment they lived in, there were only them as tenants. The landlady lived on the first floor, and there was initially another occupant on the third floor, but a few days before Malin's arrival, that unlucky gentleman got into an argument over something with someone in a bar in the west of the city. The argument escalated into a fight with knives, so in the end, he still owed the old lady three months' rent.
As for why he owed it... of course, it was because he ended up with seven scars on his chest, except the gentleman didn't have the luck of Kenjiro to survive such wounds.
It was also thanks to Maya, this little chatterbox.
Although the old lady was a chatterbox herself, if Malin had to choose between an old chatterbox and a young chatterbox, was there even a need to choose?
Therefore, when Maya finished her check and came out of the inspection room to see Malin and immediately pounced over with a pout, Malin could only smile and catch the little leopard girl's leap.
She had some weight, but it was still within Malin's control. Although catching her was easy, for a split second, Malin felt his spine groaning.
This leopard girl with fur so fine it could drive programmers worldwide to suicide had probably gained some weight again recently.
"It's so weird, they even checked Maya's tail, but the treats inside were really delicious, I ate quite a few, and sister even told me not to bite my tail, it would go bald..." Maya hugged Malin and spouted words frantically, while Malin nodded to the Church's miss: "Thank you."
"Don't mention it, but your accent is a bit strange," the miss first nodded, then paused: "It sounds like it's from someone from the East."
