A moment later, Artela walked out of the orphanage with a look of regret on his face, still holding the little mouse in his hand, alive.
"What a shame! Aunt Kelly actually said that I would get a stomachache, but I never had any problems before..."
She muttered a few words, then placed the little mouse on a stone and waved her hand.
"Bye, be careful not to get caught by the bad guys again."
How dare you say that?
You are one of the bad guys!
The Rat felt a roaring dragon in his heart, and he pressed his little paws on his still heaving chest, feeling extremely scared.
You should know that just like performing the Transfiguration, it also takes a lot of time to remove it.
It had just been thrown dizzy and had no time to change back to its original form.
If Kelly hadn't felt that she was unsafe, Artela's hand that had been pinching her little head would have broken her neck expertly...
So what's the matter with such a hardcore girl?
Is this a black-hearted orphanage where even the children can't get enough food?
What Rat didn't know was that Artala was not from an orphanage, but joined the orphanage with Izka and had only been there for less than two months.
Therefore, mice have not been eliminated from her diet, and are even considered a rare delicacy in her mind.
Especially the fat rats that have eaten their fill in the granary. Just a simple treatment, roast them over a fire, and sprinkle a handful of salt on them. The taste is just right...
Gurgle!
Artala swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, and the look he gave the little mouse became more and more weird.
"Little mouse, you are so beautiful..."
"I wonder what it will taste like…"
Rat finally calmed his heartbeat and was thinking about what to do next.
Suddenly a shadow gradually enveloped it.
It looked up and found that the damned Artala was approaching it again with his eyes still glowing.
"Why is she here again?"
"Could it be that she finally understood my charm, Mouse, and wanted to capture me as a pet?"
"Should I continue to act according to the script?"
"Wait, why is this guy drooling all the time..."
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't come over here!!!!!"
…
At the same time, Hideki was walking out of the side door of the training room.
If you go in from here, you will arrive at a basement where the previous invaders were imprisoned.
These guys were just minions, so Hideki didn't even need to use any tricks to get everything they knew from them.
"So they all came here for the black market bounty..."
As Hideki walked, he pondered in his heart.
"I haven't been to the black market recently. I didn't expect someone would use this trick to deal with the workshop so soon."
"Offering a reward is a good idea. When I have more money in the future, I can probably offer a reward for Danzo's head. Even if I can't kill him, it would be nice to disgust him..."
At this moment, a shout brought Hideki back to his senses.
"Brother Hideki, help me catch that mouse!"
Hideki looked carefully and found that Artala was chasing a dark shadow on the grass...
mouse?
Didn't we just do a big cleanup? Why did this thing appear again?
Hideki muttered quietly, and when he saw the black shadow suddenly speed up, he became a little interested.
"No problem, your friendly neighbor has you covered."
After saying that, Hideki jumped high in the direction where the mouse escaped.
THWIP!
After locking onto the mouse's figure in the air, he pressed the middle finger and ring finger of his right hand into the palm of his hand, and a chakra line actually shot out from his wrist.
This was a little trick that Hideki had recently developed, but he hadn't mastered it yet, so much so that the mouse seemed to have noticed it and dodged to the side.
However, the chakra line suddenly unfolded halfway through its flight, forming a spider web with a diameter of one meter.
This time it had no time to dodge and was firmly fixed to the ground.
My life is over...
Rat wailed in his heart.
Even a little girl is so scary, let alone Hideki Kimura who plays with puppets.
Who knew that when Hideki landed on the ground and used the chakra thread to lift it up, he saw the brown hair and big ears, and he actually showed a look of surprise:
"Jerry? Is that you, Jerry?"
"Why are you here? And is Tom coming with you?"
Jerry? Tom?
What was Kimura Hideki talking about?
Rat was confused.
But judging from the other party's surprised expression, it must have mistaken it for another mouse. It seems that at least its life is not in danger for the time being...
Of course, what Hideki said just now was just a joke, but he really no longer had the intention of killing this little thing that looked like Jerry.
Seeing that Artela had already trotted over, he asked with a smile:
"This mouse is quite cute, Artela, do you want to catch it as a pet?"
Artela, who was thinking about whether to share half of the roasted mouse with Hideki brother later, blinked slowly a few times when he heard this.
pet...
This is truly a path she had never imagined!
You know, she used to be very envious when she saw people holding kittens or walking puppies on the street.
——It's great, I can eat full meals every day without working…
Yes, she envied the pets.
As for becoming a pet owner, she couldn't even think about it as she was starving less than two months ago.
But after hearing the question from Hideki's brother, Atla realized that he was different from before.
Izika and his friends work in the security team; Takaki and his friends work in a toy store; even I, the most useless one, can help in the kitchen. Everyone has a bright future.
No need to do sneaky things, no need to worry about how to fill your stomach tomorrow, no need to worry that the shack you built will collapse if it rains a little harder...
Cats and dogs Artela doesn't dare to hope for it yet.
But if it was just a small mouse, would she be qualified to keep it as a pet now?
"Brother Hideki, can I really keep it?"
Atla suddenly felt a little nervous, and her hands unconsciously wrinkled the hem of her new clothes, which she cherished so much.
It's just that her current life is too good, which makes her always tremble with fear, afraid that she will do something wrong and be driven away and return to her previous life.
Hideki understood her lack of security, so he said in a gentle tone:
"Of course."
"As long as you promise to take good care of it and not let it affect the normal order of the orphanage and workshop..."
"I promise I will do it!"
Atla nodded vigorously, and then a relieved smile appeared on her face.
At the same time, the rat in her hand couldn't help but turn its head and let out a sly laugh.
The plan is finally back on track...
Although it was somewhat dangerous to be the pet of this little devil, now was not the time to be picky.
But what I didn't expect was that the person who made all this happen was actually Hideki Kimura himself.
I really want to see what kind of expression he will have when he finds out the truth...
At this moment, Hideki added with a smile:
"But Artela, you also know what the purpose of our orphanage is..."
"I know that he who does not work shall not eat!"
"That's right. So even if it's just a small thing, we have to find a use for it."
Atla said worriedly, "But it's so small, can it really be of any help?"
"Don't worry, even a pair of underwear or a piece of toilet paper will have its use."
Rat: Thank you, I feel offended.
Hideki put the mouse in Artela's hand and said:
"Now that I have some free time, I will help you solve this problem, Artela."
"But before that, you have to give this little thing a name."
Atla held the little mouse high up in his hands, and said with a smile,
"I've thought of it. Let's call it 'emergency food'!"
…
A moment later, in the hall of the training room, on one side was filled with treadmills.
Since the Rat was very resistant to the domineering name of emergency food, it was finally given the name Jerry.
This made Atla a little sad:
"This clearly means that I will never eat you until the last moment, how come you don't understand my painstaking efforts?"
Of course I don't understand!
How can a normal person keep a pet with the premise of being ready to eat it at any time!
The rat roared in his heart.
But it no longer has much mood to care about such things.
Because at this time it has been placed in a hamster wheel on the table and is also in an iron cage.
This gave it a bad feeling again...
