Chapter 41 Episode 041 It turns out that thing is called a hand winder
"A little higher, yes, a little to the left, that's right, use a little more force... huh..."
In the bathroom, Zhang Da was also sitting on a small stool. Tom held a towel in his two little paws and rubbed his back diligently.
Because he was too tired today, he specially asked Tom to give him a bath and massage package. Anyone who tries Master Tang’s skills will know.
After enjoying it, Zhang Da also recovered some strength and gave Tom a set of hair care services in return.
"By the way, Tom , can you take off your fur and wash it like clothes?"
Tom turned his head and gave a look that said, "You're kidding me." How can you take off a cat's fur? If you peel off the skin, it will die, right?
Zhang Da didn't believe it either. He picked up Tom and searched up and down, but couldn't find the zipper. "This shouldn't be the case. I've clearly seen such a plot before."
Tom pushed his face away with his paw in disgust, rinsed himself and wiped the water off his body with a towel.
"As a cat, you don't even shake off the water." Zhang Da also picked up the hair dryer and carefully helped Tom dry his fur.
Tom's hair swelled up all over his body like a cat ball after he had his hair blown dry , but soon became docile again.
Back in the bedroom, Zhang Da also yawned, waved to Tom, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
He slept in the big bed and Tom slept in his own little bed.
After a while, Zhang Da also heard the chuckling sound, and then felt someone pulling his quilt.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Da also turned on the bedside lamp and saw Tom holding his little quilt by the bed, looking around, his teeth chattering.
"Why are you so scared? Did you have a nightmare?"
Tom shook his head, made a pleading gesture, pointed at himself and then at Zhang Daye's bed.
"You want to sleep with me?"
Tom nodded.
"Uh... were you scared by the ghost stories I told you?" Zhang Da made way for Tom with a helpless look on his face. It was his fault.
Lying next to Zhang Daye's pillow, Tom felt much more at ease and soon began to snore.
"I can actually give Tom a sense of security? Really..." Zhang Da also tucked the quilt into Tom and fell asleep himself.
Early the next morning.
Zhang Da also opened his eyes. He no longer had the habit of touching his phone as soon as he woke up in the morning. Instead, he tilted his head to take a look at Tom's cat bed.
Not here? Oh, yes, he slept in my bed last night, but there was no one next to him.
Zhang Da also looked at the time. It was not yet six o'clock. Tom should not have gotten up yet, right?
At this moment, a cat's paw squeezed out from under Zhang Daye's back and poked his waist.
Zhang Da also took a look and quickly got out of bed, only to see that Tom had been crushed from a 3D character into a 2D paper man.
Maybe I turned over in my sleep at night? Strangely enough, I didn't feel uncomfortable lying on Tom's body, and it was even very comfortable.
"Tom! I'm sorry!" As he said this, he peeled the paper off Tom from the bed.
Tom shook his flat head, took out a hand air blower from somewhere, put the air outlet into his mouth, and pointed at the long arm board.
Zhang Da also understood and closed the two long arm boards forcefully. The air in the hand blower was blew into Tom's mouth, and Tom swelled up little by little like a balloon.
What he found difficult to understand was that a small hand blower, which seemed to have a small internal space , could blow up Tom into a big balloon with air, and this Tom balloon could even float in an unscientific way.
Also, why doesn't this stupid cat let go?
Tom struggled to loosen his mouth from the air outlet, and a breath of fresh breath blew Zhang Daye's hair into a mess. Then the whole cat flew in the air for a while like a deflated balloon, and finally fell on Zhang Daye's head.
Zhang Da also took it off his head and they looked at each other: "Good morning, Tom."
A new day starts with petting a cat - although this way of petting a cat is not quite right.
Take Tom and Altria for a morning run.
Tom, wearing a red sportswear, started to act like a spoiled child after running for a while. He sat on the ground, stuck out his tongue and didn't want to move.
Zhang Da had no choice but to put him on his shoulder as a pendant, and asked Altria questions about magic while running.
In fact, he was afraid of getting answers like "Don't we know how to use magic power from birth?" or "Don't we know how to increase the amount of magic power by itself?"
"Magic power is the energy hidden inside the body. It is closely related to your physical strength. If you want to become stronger, you must not give up your usual physical training. The way to use it can be called magic power release..."
Altria explained to him how to attach magic power to weapons or the body.
The more Zhang Da listened, the more he felt that this thing was very similar to the internal force in martial arts novels, which could attack, defend, increase speed... a panacea-like power.
The best way to master magic is through actual combat, which means that Zhang Da will have to continue to be beaten, and he may even be beaten even more severely by those possessed by demons.
However, because his magic power is limited now, he should start practicing from the most basic control of magic release.
After the morning run, Tom began to prepare breakfast, and he made hot dry noodles as Zhang Daye requested.
It’s not in the recipe, Tom tried to make it according to Zhang Daye’s description.
Although Zhang Da didn't know the complete recipe, the noodles lacked the alkaline taste and the sauce was not completely restored, but he still found a familiar taste.
Everyone enjoyed the meal, which made Zhang Da decide to sort out the food he had eaten in the past, even if he only knew the ingredients and the taste, so that he wouldn't forget everything in the future. He would then ask Tom to try to restore it slowly.
I thought the sparring session in the morning could not go on as usual because Altria's bamboo sword was broken yesterday and the new one has not been bought yet.
However, Altria picked up the children's bamboo sword for Tom and waved it casually: "This one will do for now."
When Zhang Da learned that he could train normally, his face lit up with joy at first, but then fell again.
Because he inexplicably thought of Hawkeye taking out a knife when he first met Zoro: "Sorry, I don't have a knife smaller than this."
Patting his face, Zhang Da stopped thinking about those trivial things. If you are a weak opponent, you should know your own strength. Not to mention that she is holding a bamboo sword, maybe she can knock him down even with a pair of chopsticks.
After a burst of sparring, thanks to the training over the past few days, Zhang Da's reactions were much faster than before, and he was no longer someone that could be knocked down by Altria with just two or three moves - when she was just using swordsmanship.
Now that Zhang Da had been beaten, he no longer wanted to apply medicine. He just cleaned himself up briefly and let his body recover on its own. It was just a little pain and it would pass if he just endured it.
At noon, Tom prepared a meal of sea kings. This time he tried to make it with big bones, which is Luffy's favorite.
When Altria picked up the meat, Zhang Da immediately thought of a famous saying -
"The beautiful swordsman is coming with meat!"
