MTL - Don’t Confiscate My Citizenship

 Chapter 503 Thalia’s Counterattack

 Wearing a casual vest, Lanci sat on a bench in Xinmai Square with Hubli Antalya, enjoying their leisure time at three or four in the afternoon.

The only sounds that echoed in their ears were the laughter of children chasing each other in the open square and the clanging of hand bells.

 After touring the nearby commercial streets in the afternoon, we found a just-right place to stop along the way in a place with a wide view of the main city.

This square is located on a high ground. As if you are on a mountain, you can see the vibrant people in the distant city-states rushing back and forth in an endless stream. It is surrounded by magnificent buildings, many of which have simple craftsmanship and are decorated with statues. .

 In the afternoon sky with sparse clouds, there are birds flying in the distance.

  Around Xinmai Square, there are bustling shopping streets, various exotic restaurants and cafes. It is the center of residents’ daily life and business activities. Even after shopping for a long time, they feel that they have only visited a small corner.

　　The first gust of wind after leaving the commercial street gently caressed her cheeks, causing Hyperion to unconsciously narrow her eyes in comfort.

The noise of the people, the playing of the musicians, and the laughter and singing of unknown people can all be conveyed to this high place.

　　In the afternoon, the three of them basically strolled around. When they saw a good shop, they went in to buy some Nanwantina specialty drinks and desserts.

Later on the way home, when she walked back to the Heartline Square, Thalia suddenly stopped because of something.

 What finally came into view was a small shop.

 Children cheered after class, ran on the stone road and flocked to the store, handing out the coins in their hands to the counter one after another, without feeling any distress or regret.

Thalia couldn't smell it from a distance, but judging from the looks of the children, it should be a very popular snack.

So Hyperion glanced at Lan Qi several times, Lan Qi nodded, said goodbye to them both briefly, and then walked over alone.

It might be a little embarrassing if Thalia or Hyperion were waiting in line among the children, but Lanqi didn't care. He also chatted gently with the children and asked about their study status.

At this time, Hyperion unexpectedly felt that Lan Qi might be a very good father in the future, and he knew how to get along with children.

Soon, Lan Qi brought back three boxes of snacks.

 The three of them came to the wooden bench set up on the side of the square road together.

Hyperion's thoughts returned to reality and she stared at the dessert in her hand.

This cold cheesecake, which looks like yogurt and ice cream, is placed on a biscuit box made of cardboard. Fresh strawberry pulp can be seen from the side.

Before Hyperion could fully open the box, Thalia beside her had scooped up a spoonful of it with a wooden spoon and put it into her mouth.

　　The expression did not change at all, but the eyes lit up.

　　　…”

Thalia looked up again and found that both Lanqi and Hyperion were staring at her cheeks, as if waiting for her to comment.

 “Well, it’s delicious.”

Thalia commented seriously.

 The one she has is chocolate flavored.

Hyperion smiled with satisfaction. Seeing that Tata felt delicious, she also felt like she had enjoyed delicious food.

However.

Hyperion noticed that Lan Qi looked at Tata and smiled. He seemed to be enjoying the delicious food.

 Huberlian: “…”

never mind.

 Can't stop it.

 Save him again next time if there is a big problem.

The three of them sat side by side, scooping up the dessert, feeling the sweetness and smoothness with their tongues, while looking at the scenery of the main city of South Wantina.

The warm sunshine shines through the gaps between the leaves, and on the wide, neatly paved low-lying road in the distance, horses' hooves can be heard clattering by from time to time.

　　　…”

 “I really want to stay together forever.”

Hyperion squinted her eyes and looked at the scenery, chewing the sour and sweet strawberries, which had a crunchy seed feel, and couldn't help but murmur to herself.

 I always feel that I am so at ease in the fantasy land of falling gentleness.

 The only thing that was different was that the people accompanying her were not her parents, but another special kind of person.

 It would be great if it could be maintained forever.

 To be honest, she didn’t want any more estrangement between the three of them, or another accident that would prevent the three of them from facing each other.

 Suddenly Hyperion felt the sight.

 Lanchi and Thalia were both looking at her.

 There was no surprise in their eyes.

Lanchi still smiled as always, and Talia still couldn't smile as always, but their expressions made Hyperion feel friendly.

 “Thank you for always being there for me.”

Hyperion hesitated for a moment, and finally thanked her sincerely.

 “Don’t worry, Hyperion.”

Thalia put down the empty cardboard box in her hand and stared at her.

Although Lan Qi didn't speak, he lowered his head and glanced at the cake that had just eaten a small corner in Hyperion's hand.     …”

Thalia followed Lan Qi’s line of sight and moved her gaze to his face.

The two of them looked at each other for a short time, the wind blew between them with a whistling sound, and the air gradually cooled down.

Hyperion looked around at the two of them, as if she didn't know how to speak to Lan Qi.

Lan Qi was not particularly panicked this time.

“Well, I haven’t touched this box yet, and I can’t eat it anymore. Which of you two wants to try the matcha-flavored cake?”

 He picked up his box of cakes, which was actually not opened at all, handed it to the left, and asked them slightly as if asking for help.

 He just bought three boxes of different flavors.

“Tata, let me taste a small piece of matcha flavor and give you a small piece of strawberry flavor. How about it?”

Hyperion took the cardboard box from Lan Qi's hand, looked at Thalia and asked.

"Um."

Talia hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Then she saw Hyperion cut a small piece of matcha with a clean spoon and put it on her box, then gave Thalia a large piece of strawberry, and handed the box that was full of one and a half cakes. Thalia.

　　　…”

Taliyah stared at the brand new red and green cheesecake, feeling that she had eaten two and a half out of the three cakes.

 They seem to be finding ways to give things to themselves and allow themselves to accept them without even realizing it.

 After looking at the cake for a long time.

"Thanks."

Thalia said to the two people beside her.

Before she picked up the wooden spoon, she saw the two people on the left looking at her in surprise.

"What's wrong?"

Thalia asked confused.

“Tata, you know, your tone just now was super gentle.”

Hyperion said with some excitement.

"Yeah."

"Yes!"

"really."

Lanchi also supported Huberian’s evidence and echoed.

Thalia was silent for a long time, feeling a little uncomfortable being looked at by these two people.

"Act."

 She scooped up a spoonful of cake, focused on the cake in front of her, and whispered to herself.

 “Oh! Tata is so shy! It’s so obvious that you lied!”

Hyperion cheered and hugged Thalia, leaned against her side and said with a smile.

“Actually, I don’t think Tata is necessarily shy anymore.”

Lan Qi analyzed seriously from the sidelines.

Hyperion turned back and looked at Lan Qi in confusion.

“Tata will only concentrate on eating and won’t think about other things at all.”

Ranchi said.

"you."

The wooden key in Thalia's hand paused, as if she was restraining the impulse that arose in her heart.

She looked at Lan Qi's innocent and confused look, as if she was wrong to hit him at this time.

 Finally, she put the cake box on her lap, scooped up a spoonful, reached out and held Lan Qi's chin, pinched his mouth slightly, and stuffed the small spoonful into his round hole-like mouth.

 “Uh-huh!”

Lanqi was so stunned that he couldn't speak. He didn't predict Talia's action pattern at all.

 The corners of Talia's mouth showed a vague arc, staring at Lan Qi, as if to warn him, if you dare to mess with me again, try it again.

Hyperion sat between the two people on the bench, shaking her head helplessly and laughing.

 When Lan Qi is reliable, the three of them can get along well.

This kind of small fight is actually not a problem.

As long as he no longer tries his best to test the limits of life by using those fantastic ideas.
