ted a [Rebirth Certificate - Tyrant] swirling with purple light using the Bishop's Testimony, and threw it to Lance.She knew that this young man was the tutor of the noble daughter from the border tow...Chapter 180: Taliya was unusually gentle today.

As evening descended upon the city of Icerite, twilight draped over its sprawl, painting every inch of the capital in a sheen like mother-of-pearl.

Exiting the Lyceum of Icethea, a short walk east less than a mile brings you to "The Cat Boss Restaurant." At this hour, dinner service is in full swing, with wisps of smoke and aromas of evening meals wafting from its roof.

Through the streetlights illuminating the streets, the quaint wooden house appeared even more mysterious in the night, and the light shining from its windows felt warm and cheerful.

Whenever customers enter or leave, the wind chime on the shop door rings with a pleasant sound along with the opening and closing of the door, as if welcoming and bidding farewell to each customer.

Through the restaurant doorway, a lively scene came into view.

The tables and chairs on the first floor of the restaurant are now almost full. People raise their glasses, smile at each other, and whisper with laughter, their voices reaching my ears.

The waitress, as busy as a whirligig, was rushing around serving piping hot dishes. Seeing Lance and Huberlian enter the restaurant, she immediately called out to them:

"Excuse me, please take a look at the menu first! I'll be with you in a moment."

Hubert smiled and waved his palm dismissively, signaling the waitress to leave them alone.

They have already eaten dinner, they are here to look for someone.

And Alan had long been familiar with the route, walking straight up the stairs to prepare to go to the second floor.

As a result, it seemed like he caught something out of the corner of his eye.

I glanced sideways and saw Talia behind the counter, acting as a host/hostess.

She had a braid that was quite girlish, and she wore a pure white dress with an apron over it. She looked dignified, rational, and moving, not at all like someone who could be a demon.

Lan Qi was stunned, apparently he had never drawn such a Talia.

Demon Lord, do you still need to work

Besides, how does she seem to have perfectly integrated into the life of the capital city It's just like when I first integrated into the Purgatory Corridor Academy, so natural and without feeling any strangeness from the surrounding races.

That's all, Lanche looked at Tallia.

Tallia was also looking at Lance.

Not a word.

The air was eerily silent.

Originally, Talia's face had seemed softer. Now, it was as if frost had swept over it in an instant.

Obviously, she hadn't thought that Lance would come at this time.

Generally, people come to learn how to make cards from her in the morning or afternoon and leave before evening.

After entering the store, Huai-Pei remained observant of the surroundings and prepared to follow Lan Chi's lead. Noticing Lan Chi staring at the counter, she followed his gaze.

And then he saw a great poet standing behind the counter.

"How did Lan Fu get out"

Hubert murmured in surprise, involuntarily.

"Lan Fu"

Taliya frowned slightly upon hearing this, her gaze shifting from Lance to the Huberlian face behind him.

Her golden eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and emotion for a moment.

Talia then seemed to understand something.

It seems her niece mistook her for the renowned poet of love at first glance.

It's all that damn fellow's fault, the one who gave the poet's image of boundless love his own form!

Immediately, Talia fixed her gaze on Lance again.

This historical issue, she will sooner or later have to settle with Lance.

Lance didn't dare to keep looking at Talya, and he looked away.

Hubberley peered about, sensing the shift in the atmosphere. She instantly realized she might have spoken out of turn.

She noticed the problem.

The poet of great love has blue eyes.

And the young lady before them had golden eyes.

The temperament is also completely different; a great love poet would not be so distant from Lan Qi.

"Ahem, this is my teacher, Miss Tata."

Lanrick evaded Talia's death glare and introduced himself to Huberlian.

It seems like a disastrous start today.

"Hello, Miss Tata."

Hubert bowed as respectfully as possible to Talia.

She was desperately trying to hide the turmoil within her. She had thought Tatta and the great poet were just alike, but she hadn't expected them to be identical!

“……”

Talya remained silent.

As if thinking about something.

Lance was a little nervous.

From Talia's first response, you can tell how she feels.

If she's cold to Hubley, then there's probably no point in going any further.

However.

Talya nodded slightly to Huberian, then took in the shop. It was dinner time, and they were blocking the aisle chatting; not good.

She took a key out of her apron pocket and handed it to Lance.

"Let's take her upstairs first. I'll stay here and help the cat boss with the shop for a while, then I'll come up to find you."

Tallia spoke in a gentle voice.

"Oh...oh!"

Lan Qi took the key, looking a little dazed.

The sun came out from the west, is this old woman so gentle today

Wouldn't it be true that he's a poet pretending to be someone who really cares!

……

Until past seven.

There were slightly fewer customers in the store, and the delivery service staff were no longer as busy as before.

Taliya still remained impassive behind the counter.

For her, an hour was but a blink of an eye, months and years were also fleeting.

Just as Talia was still engrossed in her work.

"Tata, thank you, meow."

A cute little black cat popped out from the back kitchen, jumped onto the counter, and said to Talya in its childish voice.

And the surrounding guests didn't find it strange at all that the cat could talk.

"It's okay."

Talya untied her apron and put it back in the cupboard.

All the guests thought this black cat was a magician skilled in transformation magic. Only Talia could see that its true form was a feline creature of the fairy race.

Although it is naturally very weak, a seventh-order being may not necessarily defeat a fierce third or fourth-order monster, but its lifespan will be very long.

She also couldn't tell how long this sprite cat had been alive, it could actually have lived to the seventh rank.

Because the cat owner always makes her midnight snacks, she also helps out when the cat owner is short-handed.

Has that boy come to find you again

The little black cat asked.

Although it always stayed in the kitchen, it knew a black-haired boy with green eyes would always come to find Tata.

And since last month, it has become especially frequent, staying in Tata's room for a long time each time.

It is very, very curious what the relationship between the seemingly cold and aloof Tatta and that amiable young man is.

I was originally going to observe for a while longer.

To my surprise, this time the young man actually brought another beautiful girl with him.

It was simply too curious to resist.

"I only know him. That's all."

Talya said it without any emotion in her voice.

Their relationship is purely a professional one.

Until he pays off his debts, we need to protect him and urge him to repay the money.

Besides, he would always bring her some pleasant surprises.

For example, she had always wanted to meet Huberlian. Before she could even find a suitable excuse and opportunity to hint to Lanchi, Lanchi suddenly brought Huberlian before her.

Didn't you think he was a special person

The little black cat tentatively asked.

It always felt that Tata and the young man had a close relationship.

Tatta, who never interacts with others, is the only one who can spend a long time with this boy.

What does "special" mean

Even after traveling through the human realm for so many years, Talya still didn't understand many human emotions.

She knew that the "special" the Cat Boss spoke of wasn't literally "special," but rather had to do with the human concept of "companion" or "love" on one side.

She always wanted to know the answer, so she asked the cat boss.

It has lived for so long and gotten along well with humans, it must really understand them.

He always knows how to make you happy, and gradually you find yourself becoming inseparable from him. You start to care about, and be curious about his thoughts. Your once calm demeanor becomes easily swayed by his presence.

The little black cat flicked its paws and, hearing the call from the back kitchen, jumped down from the counter. It turned to Tatta and said,

It has to go back to the kitchen.

"……"

Talya frowned in thought.

It seems like every prediction the Cat Boss makes comes true, it's incredibly accurate.

But I still don't understand.

What's wrong
