Chapter 3: Swing is a friend 2
The Knight's Hall of the Red Knights is not as grand as the Knight's Hall of the Black Knights. It is a milky white house built in a sea of flowers. When the rose blooms, the Red Knight's Hall will be surrounded by fiery red roses, like a beautiful pearl.
Passing through the winter flowers with only green leaves but no red flowers, the milky white house with transparent French windows on all four sides became clear. Although the Knights' Hall is large, there are no walls inside the house. Each room is separated by milky white pillars and transparent glass walls. So when the sun is bright, the light can penetrate the walls, allowing people outside to directly see the people in the room.
The door was open, and I could see the spacious hall surrounded by spiral staircases from outside the room. Two crimson figures, one standing and the other sitting, seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.
Since all the doors leading to the hall were open, their conversation could be heard by people outside.
"What else will Pinocchio do? It's so boring. Do we need to guess his reaction? He just does whatever Takamiya Naoto says. Does he dare to disobey Dean Takamiya?" The man with short red hair who kept calling Suzaku "Pinocchio" was Osto, the third knight of the Red Knights' branch. I saw him, and he must have seen me and Takamiya Suzaku, but he still spoke without hesitation.
"Osto!" The long-haired man next to him, who was leaning against a bunch of flowers, stopped him. I looked up at him, and the morning sun shone softly on his long chestnut hair through the glass windows. He saw me and gave me a gentle smile.
Qiu Qianyuan, the second most powerful knight in the Red Knights' House, is also the elder brother of Qiu Qianxun, the most powerful knight in the White Knights' House. I have accompanied the Red Princess to see him many times, and I have also seen him many times in the academy. Every time, he would show this reassuring smile.
"Stop grinning like an idiot, you little nympho." A very cold voice suddenly came to my ears. Suzaku had already walked up the stairs and walked in through the open glass door.
"Ah? Mr. Firebird, isn't this the princess's follower? Why is he following you now? You have to bring a miserable civilian with you every time you go out. Is this the habit of your Takamiya family?" Osto turned his head lazily on the sofa, his tone obviously provocative.
"Osto, please be aware of your identity." Zhuque said harshly in his arrogant Y country aristocratic accent, and then sat on the only red single sofa in the hall.
"Isn't my identity the Red Knight? Of course, you can always stop me from being a Red Knight. Anyway..." Osto looked over, his eyes under his tall red eyebrows like the eyes of a wild fox in the wilderness, "The Red Knights branch is the back garden of the Gao Gong family. Both me and the princess are puppets. Whether we stay or go is up to Dean Gao Gong's words. You don't have to tell me to pay attention to my identity. I don't have any identity to speak of."
As Suzaku's bodyguard, shouldn't I agree with Osto's words? But... thinking about how I was easily expelled by the dean, I felt bad. And this room was too white and transparent, like a lonely white rose, and standing next to me were the most powerful people in the Red Knights branch, which made me feel uncomfortable.
"Osto, if you really don't want to be the Red Knight anymore, your term will only end in February of this year, and then you can personally resign to the princess." Suzaku said coldly, as if he had made up his mind not to get entangled with Osto.
"Aha, you finally said it, Firebird. You already have a more suitable candidate in mind to replace me, the Red Knight who doesn't suit your taste..." Ostu said with a smile, but his fox-like eyes flashed with a fierce light. With red hair and wearing red clothes, he seemed to be burning in the morning light.
"I thought our topic today was to discuss Skylark!" Qiu Qianyuan suddenly interrupted Osto and glanced at Suzaku. I wondered: Could it be that Qiu Qianyuan and Suzaku were in the same group?
Is there anyone in this world who would be in league with Suzaku? That annoying guy!
"Oh, Suzaku." As I was thinking, Qiu Qianyuan pointed at me and laughed, and asked Suzaku with a snicker, "Is this your new girlfriend? Oh haha... she has very special tastes!"
"Nah!"
"How can it be!"
Suzaku and I shouted at almost the same time. What's wrong with Qiu Qianyuan? He always smiles gently and looks reassuring. Shouldn't he be a considerate and serious good person like those gentle seniors in anime?
"Ouch!" I was still struggling inside, but Qiu Qianyuan once again ran over and hit Zhuque in an even more subversive way, and shouted with a gossipy look on his face, "Dahong! I know, there are only me and Osto here, just admit it! I have never seen you with a girl! So..."
He looked at me, and I suddenly had a very bad feeling.
really……
"How far have you progressed? Kissing, kissing! Oh hehe...please tell me if you have any first-hand information. The school network has not been very popular recently. I need some explosive news to attract everyone's attention!"
As he spoke, Qiu Qianyuan took out his cell phone and took a bunch of photos of us. Before I could react, Takamiya Suzaku started shouting, "Ahhh! What are you doing? Taking photos is not allowed in the Grand Knights' emergency meeting! Ahhh! Hey! Orangutan girl, what are you waiting for? Use your high kick to destroy this guy's cell phone!"
"Ah?" My dull nerves needed some stimulation, so Zhuque shouted at me in panic: "He will post our photos on the school's homepage with a shocking title like 'Gao Gong Zhuque and the princess's maid Duanmu Mingri have a romance'. How long are you going to be stupid?"
Snapped!
It is very easy for me, Duanmu Mingri, to get rid of a mobile phone with a high kick.
Suddenly...
Why do I feel so quiet around me? I looked up anxiously and saw that Osto and Qiu Qianyuan looked dumbfounded, looking at me and the broken phone under my feet. Only Zhuque stood aside triumphantly, as if showing off as the owner of his own pet. He patted my head and said, "Everyone, you should think carefully when you talk to me next time. This is my newest bodyguard! Don't worry if it scares you, she really has gorilla genes in her blood!"
"You have the gorilla genes, bastard!" I couldn't help but yell, and after I yelled, the scene became really quiet.
After a long time, Qiu Qianyuan suddenly screamed and rushed to his phone: "Ahhh! My iPhone 9!"
Has Apple released the 9th generation?
"Has Apple released the 9th generation?" Apparently Suzaku had the same question as me.
"What do you care? A good person on the Internet sold it to me. It has the latest heater function!" Qiu Qianyuan hugged his "broken" phone and looked like he was about to cry. So, I really didn't have the heart to ask him "What kind of knockoff phone has a heater function?"
The swing that was like a gentle big brother has now been broken into a thousand pieces in my brain.
"Qiu Qianyuan, have you been cheated? The mobile phone has a heater function, it must be so hot!" Osto looked like a self-centered man who didn't care about other people's feelings. He actually said what I wanted to say but didn't dare to say.
"Osto, you really lack imagination! Mobile phones can do a lot of things! I have a feeling that in the future, mobile phones will be able to fry eggs." Qiu Qianyuan said loudly, and did not forget to look back for help. He nodded at Zhuque and asked, "Don't you think so, Dahong?"
"Hey! I've been wanting to say this for a long time..." Suzaku clenched his fists and shouted in an unhappy manner, "You haven't called me by my name since the beginning! What are Red and Firebird? Even if you are great knights, you should call me Takamiya-sama or Suzaku-sama! I am the greatest knight!"
"Qiu Qianyuan, go find that merchant and ask for a refund!"
"I wasn't fooled, Osto, you should learn to trust others."
"Qiu Qianyuan, are you out of your mind?"
"Osto, I'm not crazy..."
"Gorilla girl." Suddenly, someone called me. Suzaku, who was completely ignored by them, looked really angry. "Kill these two people now while no one is watching!"
"You..." I looked back at him, there was something I had to say!
"If you dare to call me 'gorilla' or 'gorilla girl' again, I will kill you first! Anyway, no one will see!"
"How dare you threaten me!" Takamiya Suzaku looked hurt, and was about to say something, but the two people behind him who had decided to ignore him once again turned their attention to him.
"They started flirting and said it wasn't a new girlfriend." Qiu Qianyuan whispered. But we still heard his words. I suddenly had the urge to kill them all.
"Just admit it, Firebird. The princess doesn't like you anyway, so it's okay to find a new girlfriend!"
"Oh, Ostu, you have such a sharp tongue. Even if the princess likes Xiaohong but not Dahong, don't say it out loud and hurt his fragile heart!" Didn't you say it out loud too, Lord Qiu Qianyuan?
"Qiu Qianyuan, that's enough! When dealing with a nasty guy like Firebird, you have to hit him, hit him, and keep hitting him!"
"Osto, you 're so mean to Dahong!"
In fact, it’s possible that these three people have a very good relationship.
As I was thinking, a thin figure appeared on the other side of the flower field. Suzaku was the first to notice her, and turned his head with a complicated expression on his face.
