It turns out that drinking too much alcohol can cause you to wake up with a pretty severe headache the next day.

And it was accompanied by a strong sense of social responsibility... Damn it, what on earth did I do last night?

Kitahara and Kaede pressed their temples, drank some sobering tea for themselves, and then lay back on the sofa.

It looks like a salted fish that is about to be dried by fate.

"Kitahara, are you okay?"

Cervantes sat next to Kitahara and Kaede, and asked a little worriedly, giving people a feeling of uneasiness on pins and needles.

It seemed that the knight was going to slide off the sofa in the next second and kneel down on one knee to salute his weak princess.

"Ah, it's okay. I just drank a little too much last night."

The traveler supported his head, and then pulled Cervantes back, who was about to slide down, with a lazy and gentle voice: "Actually, I am too happy..."

In the end, Marco Polo did not leave. Marco Polo, who was responsible for taking care of a drunken man before Cervantes came back, his eyes drifted silently for a moment, and he subconsciously rubbed Venice's head.

"Miyo!"

Feeling that he had been offended by the will of the city, he stretched out his claws and scratched Marco Polo's hand severely. Then he spread his wings and suddenly relied on the bonus of gliding to jump into Kitahara Kaede's arms.

inside.

"Why?"

Kitahara and Kaede, who received unexpected love from the city, tilted their heads and subconsciously hugged the soft and warm little thing in their arms, with a slightly confused look in their eyes.

Although Cervantes couldn't see it, he noticed that something seemed to be jumping over. He immediately showed a vigilant expression. He relaxed after Kitahara and Kaede introduced each other's identity.

"This is Venice, a proud queen." Kitahara Kaede pointed to the little beast in his arms - of course, in Cervantes' field of vision, there was nothing here.

But he didn't mean to question his princess's words at all, but nodded very seriously, expressing his respect for the "Queen".

"This is Cervantes, a brave knight and the best knight in the world."

The traveler continued to introduce politely, even though he knew very well, the city must also know about this reckless guy who temporarily lives in this city.

Venice blinked, raised his head and called softly to the knight.

Although this knight can only be said to have wandered into this city accidentally, Venice has a good impression of him.

After all, although the proud queen was once an unscrupulous person, no matter what she did, she always had an upright attitude. As for the guy captured by the knight, in her eyes, he definitely fell into the category of ruining the city's image.

"Speaking of which, how was the result of your patrol yesterday?"

The traveler lowered his head, looked at this little beast that rarely showed politeness for a while, and suddenly asked the knight beside him out of curiosity.

Venice also curiously raised the golden feathers in her ears, put her paws on Beihara and Kaede's shoulders, and tilted her head to look over.

"Well... I was also shocked. I actually caught seven or eight scattered gangs after walking around the island."

Cervantes showed a slightly troubled expression: "If I had known earlier, I should have saved up some money and taken them to the police station... People in this era don't know what they think, and their lives are obviously pretty good.

"

Why can't you think about it and insist on doing such a thing?

The knight thought for a while and felt that only "bewitched by the devil" could better explain this phenomenon.

But in this case, there are too many people in Venice who are influenced by the devil.

"Then I saw with my own eyes the police taking these guys away and detaining them, and recording what, a transcript? I couldn't come back until very late anyway, so I'm sorry..."

Thanks to the influence of modern civilization, Mr. Knight no longer always solves problems through duels as before. However, he is still full of distrust of these official members, and he has to personally observe their actions to feel at ease.

"From a knight's experience, devils are everywhere, so we need to treat everything equally - except for you, of course, Your Highness."

Cervantes once replied to a traveler who asked him about this.

——This is really a heavy trust.

Sometimes Kitahara and Kaede would feel a little distressed by this unwarranted trust: he didn't feel that he could bear this heavy weight - after all, he was just a mortal, not the one built from the best fantasies.

sun.

But when things came to this, he could only do his best.

"There's no need to apologize." Kitahara and Kaede held Venice carefully in his arms and sighed, "Speaking of which, how does the seafood risotto taste? This is my first time trying to cook Spanish food."

“Of course it tastes great!”

Cervantes straightened up and said seriously: "I haven't eaten any Spanish food here for a long time."

Venice opened her eyes wide and screamed angrily.

It would be weird if you could always eat it! This is Venice, the Venice of Italy! It has nothing to do with your Spain!

Kitahara and Feng reached out to pat the tail of Her Majesty the Queen in his arms with some humor. At the same time, as if they had thought of something, they said warmly:

"By the way, I plan to leave Venice soon. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

He also knew that he had never lost his way in this maze-like city, and the city's silent attention and help would definitely be indispensable.

"Miyo." Venice called lazily, and her beautiful white tail flicked subconsciously.

It's nothing, this is just Her Majesty's protection for you.

"Well, actually I have to leave too." Marco Polo was silent for a while, glanced at Beihara and Venice in Feng's arms, and finally said hesitantly.

"Go to the East, you also know."

Even though he already knew that the country he wanted to find did not exist in this world, this did not prevent him from going to the country to the east and continuing to look for its shadow.

It's just that he is still a little hesitant...

Marco Polo glanced at this proud and beautiful little orange-gold beast, which was the will of the city where he was born.

He is also the friend who has been with him every step of the way since he awakened his powers.

It's time to separate.

Marco Polo sighed, suddenly feeling a little sad.

Although the two of them have been destined to part ways since he regarded traveling as his ideal, at this moment, he still couldn't help but feel sad.

Human beings are like this, they always appear unexpectedly fragile at certain moments.

"Miyo!"

Venice tilted her head, looking a little unhappy at the frustrated expressions of the humans in her city. She jumped over and bit the opponent "hard".

"Venice—!"

"Pfft hahahahaha..."

Kitahara and Kaede were the first to laugh next to them, while Cervantes, who was also sitting on the sofa, looked like he had been bitten by some puppy. Marco Bo jumped up and looked for band-aids and rabies vaccines.

Luo couldn't help but laugh too.

"Well, it's okay, Mr. Marco Polo. Venice is very measured and didn't use any force at all."

After finishing laughing, Kitahara and Feng leaned on the sofa, looking at the sunlight refracted through the window. It was crystal bright and seemed to reflect the good mood of the city today.

"And I don't think you need to get vaccinated, right? At least I think based on the three-day observation period, there should be no rabies in Venice."

The sun is really nice today.

He tilted his head and reached out to catch a beam of sunlight. The clear and transparent light fell on his hand, like a light and bright feather.

It seems like there are countless flashing birds taking off in this city, leaving only a field of shining flight feathers, floating lightly in the air, or landing on the water, playing one after another.

.

The reflection of this feather seemed to be reflected in the traveler's orange-gold eyes, shining in a soft tone like the sunset.

"What a beautiful place, Venice."

It is also a very gentle city:

Whether it is the silent protection of strangers, or the efforts to comfort the travelers who are about to travel far away.

Speaking of which, it's probably because they have a good relationship that they can fight like this.

Because I know that the other person will not be angry for such a simple reason and push me away easily, so I can show my bad and arrogant side unscrupulously.

It is quite enviable to have such a good relationship with one's own city.

Beiyuan and Feng raised their eyes, smiled softly, and then turned around and asked in a cheerful tone: "Well, since everyone has to say goodbye, after Anthony wakes up, let's find a time to take a photo together.

How about it?"

"When the time comes, I may even use this as material to paint a painting."

Marco Polo blinked, suddenly realizing that he had a part in it, and looked at the traveler in surprise.

"Everyone who meets you has a share."

Kitahara and Kaede put their fingers on their chins, and a light smile appeared in their orange-gold eyes: "I said before that I would paint a portrait of Venice. Now it's okay even if I add people to it."

It's just a pity that Anthony went to bed too late last night while packing up things after the party, so he still hasn't woken up from his sweet dream.

Even today, he got up with his head propped up and watered the roses himself.
