Don't confiscate my citizenship

The distant southern continent, the Kingdom of Hutton, the royal capital Icerita.

At ten o'clock in the morning in the spring of April, the sky in the capital of Ikerite was dyed with a soft blue, and the air became brighter and fresher with the fragrance of flowers.

Located on the east side of Icerite College, across two spacious and clean streets, it is lined with shops and bustling with activity.

A small restaurant exudes the strong aroma of breakfast, and the smell of oatmeal and cheese gently fills the air.

This is a two-story brown wooden building. The signboard of the store is engraved with the Hutton Kingdom inscription [Cat Boss Restaurant]. The roof is wide and naturally curved, and the eaves extend far away. Whenever the breeze blows, the wind chimes under the eaves will It will make a pleasant ringtone.

Accompanied by a series of "ding-ding-ding-ding" sounds from time to time, the door of the restaurant is pushed open, and customers come in and out. The first floor is simply and cleverly divided into several areas. In addition to the counter at the door, there are also rooms leading to the back kitchen and the second floor. Floor passage.

At this time, the restaurant was not at the peak time for breakfast, and there were few customers. In the back kitchen, two women were wearing aprons and preparing ingredients at the workbench. Green leafy vegetables, fruits and various condiments were neatly arranged.

Their cooperation is so tacit that no words are needed. On one side is the rhythm of the knives dancing on the chopping board, crisp and powerful; on the other side is the art of interweaving seasonings and ingredients.

Thalia was in charge of cutting, and every stroke of the knife was just right, cutting out vegetable slices of the same size and pushing them to the side.

Asina is on the side responsible for the preparation and processing, which not only retains the flavor of the ingredients, but also gives them new life.

As the vice president of the student union, Asna did not have any official duties this morning.

In the last semester of her third year, she had already earned all the credits and completed her graduation project. She only needed time to apply for graduation.

Now she is the new chef of Boss Cat's restaurant. She declined the request from Icerita College to stay at the school to teach, and she does not plan to continue her fourth-year studies. She will officially become Boss Cat's disciple after graduation.

During this time, she has become a rare close friend and partner with Miss Tata, who helps the cat boss look after the store.

Every time, Miss Tata will give her the most accurate evaluation and help her improve the dishes.

And the most important thing is that no matter how many meals she makes, Miss Tata can eat them all.

There is no need to worry about her being full and unable to continue to give him guidance, and there is no need to worry about wasting food.

So since meeting Tata, Asna felt that her cooking skills had improved by leaps and bounds, and she began to cook for Tata day and night. Tata was also very happy. In order to speed up Asna's cooking, she personally cooked Became her sous chef.

The only thing that worries Asna is whether Tata will eat too much.

Although Tata still doesn't seem to have gained weight at all, if he continues to eat like this, Xia Tian may see Tata's belly.

Thalia is still immersed in a series of skilled processes in preparing ingredients.

However, she suddenly paused.

The blade of the knife in her hand touched the cutting board silently, and she took her eyes away from the vegetables she was cutting. She slowly raised her head and looked to the side of the kitchen.

Outside the window, the spring sunshine filled the windowsill, and the leaves swayed gently in the breeze.

"..."

Thalia's eyes didn't seem to pay attention to this peaceful scene, but looked further away, immersed in some deep thinking.

Her face looked particularly confused at this moment, and her eyes shone with a complicated light.

Asna noticed this change, stopped what she was doing, and looked at Thalia with concern.

"Tata, what's wrong?"

Asna felt that Tata suddenly seemed to have something on her mind.

Thalia shook her head.

"It's nothing, don't worry."

In fact, she didn't know if it was an illusion or reality.

She always felt that a new great demon had appeared somewhere in the world just now, and it was a guy who was related to her, so she, as a demon king, had such a strange feeling.

If you think about it carefully, the remains of the Great Demon Clan's trial have been almost destroyed, and even if there are still some left, they are probably controlled by humans.

People cannot allow powerful demons to complete their training and become great demons.

Unless - there are demons she is familiar with who have survived, mixed among humans, and recently found an opportunity to sneak into the Great Demon Tribe, collect the final mark, and successfully become a Great Demon.

But no matter how she thought about it, Thalia couldn't figure out which demon it would be.

A hundred years ago, not to mention the powerful demons, all the talented demons were almost dead.

Even if you become a great demon now, there is no other use than unlocking the upper limit of your own natural magic.

Because there is no demon king and ancestral land, he cannot even obtain a title, and can only become an "unnamed great demon".

If I must say it, the Great Demon Clan also has another function, that is, it is worthy enough to be the descendant of the Demon King.

According to the tradition of the demon clan, the fiancée of the demon royal family must at least be a great demon.

But no matter who is pursuing her, whether it is a demon, a big demon or a human, she is not interested.

Now even if a new great demon is born, and it is still a great demon related to her, it will not be just to propose a marriage contract to her, and eventually cause rumors in the demon world to fly all over the sky.

She would always suddenly discover that there was no demon kingdom a hundred years ago, and she had become anonymous long ago. The demon clan and the northern continent had almost nothing to do with her.

If I have any regrets.

That is, she has no idea about the whereabouts of her best friend, the guardian Antanas.

Now that her life is better now, she will always feel a little lonely because Antanas is not around.

"Tata, who are you thinking of?"

Asna noticed that Tata had been a little absent-minded from the beginning, so she finished the work at hand and asked slowly.

"Reminding me of a dear friend, whom I lost touch with for a long time."

Thalia nodded and replied.

She now feels that Asna is also her friend. It is hard to imagine that one day she will make friends with humans, treat each other sincerely, work together, live together, and chat together every day.

"Then you can ask Lan Qi to help you find someone. He is very good at this kind of civil entrustment work."

Asna recalled that during this period of time, when the new semester started, the student union had no Lan Qi and Hyperion, and the workload seemed to have increased a lot.

"Forget it."

Tata shook his head. Asna didn't know that this was not a civil-level issue at all.

Antanas is a great ancient demon clan. They have lost contact for hundreds of years, and even Talia herself cannot describe the specific appearance of Antanas.

You can't say to Lan Qi, "When you go to the Northern Continent, help me bring back a big demon named Antanas." After he came back from the trip, he brought Antanas with him like a souvenir. In front of the store.

That’s not how it’s done in dreams.

And she was not prepared at all. If Antanas suddenly saw her completely transformed into a human being, living in peace and harmony with humans, she would probably want to commit suicide.

Thalia thought for a moment and continued chopping vegetables with peace of mind.

"By the way Asna, you guys will be on mid-term vacation in a while. Can I leave for a few days?"

Thalia remembered that Icerite College would have a seven-day mid-semester break every May and June. At that time, Asna should be able to stay in the store every day, and the student president Monast also We will go to the store to help Asna.

"No problem, are you ready to travel?"

Asna nodded.

"No, I want to go back to Nanwantina. There is something that I have been paying attention to. I just thought of it and I am going to check it out."

Thalia heard Asna mentioning Lanci, and couldn't help but remember that at the station at the South Wantina border, when Hans, the housekeeper of Lanci's family, said goodbye to the two of them, he said that Lanci had painted a painting. , it’s a pity not to let her see it.

She later became more and more curious about what kind of painting it was.

It just so happens that the business of Boss Mao's restaurant has been on the right track recently, and there will be a good opportunity next month. She is going to go back to Nanwantina to take her to Wilford's house to see the Lanci painting.
