Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

After thinking about her own situation, Cellulu felt that it might be a good idea to live with Lillian. If she was alone, it would cost a lot of money to rent a house or stay in a hotel, and she would also have problems with her identity. The next day, she formally proposed to Lillian the idea of ​​sharing a lease.

Hearing what Cellulo said, Lillian was naturally very welcome. After tidying up the room next to her, she made Cellulo her bedroom. Afterwards, I took Cellulu to visit the house where we will live together in the future. Lillian's house is a small western-style house with two floors. There are two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs. The two rooms upstairs have private bathrooms. , Lillian lives on the second floor.

The ground floor is the kitchen, the living room, etc. The other two rooms are used by Lillian as a studio. One room is full of records, music books, and some scores, etc., messy. There are several sheet music scattered on the workbench, and there are traces of scribbling and alterations on them.

The other one is the piano room, with a piano in it, and several musical instruments such as guitars and violins in the cabinet next to it. There are also a lot of music scores here, neatly placed in the cabinet.

"Lillian, do you make music?" Seeing all this, Cellulu looked at Lillian in surprise.

"Well, I want to become a singer. I have been working hard for the past few years, but the effect is not very obvious." After saying that, Lillian smiled slightly self-deprecating.

"No, it's good for you to have such a dream, sing it to me anytime!" Cellulu looked at Lilian encouragingly, her own voice was also very good, and her singing was also very good, but because of stage fright The problem is, every time I sing in public, I will be nervously out of tune, so I always amuse myself, so I have always been a little envious of people who can sing well and show it generously.

"Well, you can actually hear it when you come to the bar where I work in the future." Lilian smiled softly. In order to realize her dream of being a singer, she is now a resident singer in several bars. Such venues are also easy to be discovered by talent scouts. If you sing well and have your own fans, you will have a smoother debut after your debut, and the bar will give you a lot of money.

Hearing Lillian's detailed words, Cellulu was stunned. In order to become a singer, Lillian really put all the focus of her life on this, even if she made a living, she did not forget music.

After the house was finished, the rent issue was quickly settled. Lilian received very little money. Even Cellulu, who didn’t know the rent situation, felt that the price was a bit abnormal. Lillian refused with a smile. She laughed and said that she just wanted to find someone to accompany her, and the rent was second.

But she didn't want to take advantage of Lilian too much. It was not easy for the other party to be alone. She didn't know how to make amends to make it difficult for Lilian to refuse. She didn't have time to cook and eat properly, so Cellulu decided to wrap up the tasks of cooking and grocery shopping, and she would also pay for the food, which could be considered a make up. Although Lillian wanted to refuse, she gave in after Cellulo said she would not let her pay for food and cooking and moved out.

Without any worries, Cellulu can go to work with peace of mind, but this time she wants to slow down the pace a little. She had been running around for a living and left her place unexpectedly several times, so she had almost no time to deepen her understanding of this place. I need to understand the text of the world and understand the situation in this world, so this time, Cellulu plans to take some time to calm down and go to the library to study. She is a little too ignorant now, Cellulu thinks.

Diligently searching and looking for a part-time job that would allow her to have time to study, she quickly found a very suitable job.

The subway coordinator is to assist the subway staff to divert the crowd during the rush hour, and at the same time to provide consultation and answer work for some people who do not know the subway route. The daily working hours are the peak hours of commuting to and from get off work, that is, from 6:00 to 9:00 in the morning and 5:00 to 7:00 in the evening. In this way, she is free from nine o'clock to five o'clock in the afternoon, and she has a lot of time to spend in the library. Therefore, although the salary is not much, she immediately applied for this part-time job and was successfully accepted. .

Cohen's subway system is very developed. Most people use the subway to travel. As a result, there are many subway routes, and the transfer points are more complicated. The calculation method of fares is also very difficult. The destination is a compulsory course for every Cohen person, but this also leads to many non-Cohen people often getting lost in the subway and unable to find their way, because there are too many such people and there are not enough formal staff , which is also an important reason for the birth of subway coordinators.

Although Celluloid is not from Cohen, the subway company will conduct training to familiarize them with their work. Therefore, Celluloid is earnestly studying with the official subway staff to understand how to evacuate people and memorize the time of each route. , interchange points, and fare systems, how to make the best rides or guide ticket purchases for the lost.

After finishing the first day of training, she went back to the staff locker room to change out of her work clothes. Celluloid took the subway to the largest municipal library in Cohen.

Walking in front of the rows of bookshelves, Cellulu was looking for books that introduced the conditions and customs of various countries in the world. She decided to use these books to read words, so that she could quickly understand the situation in the world without being singled out. Recognizing words makes it feel boring.

Walking into the geographic history area, Cellulu carefully browsed the titles of the books on the bookshelf, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a book called World Customs from the corner of her eye. After thinking about it, it seemed quite suitable as an enlightenment textbook to familiarize herself with the world, so she extended her hand. , I wanted to get the World Customs Book, but when I was about to touch the back of the book, I came into contact with another hand.

After Cellulu was stunned, she immediately withdrew her hand, and the other party quickly withdrew her own hand. She turned to look at the owner of that hand, and an extremely delicate blond boy stood beside her, half taller than herself. The tall, clear blue eyes were also looking at her at this time, and the other party spoke first.

"Well, I'm so sorry just now, you can take this book and read it first." The boy looked at Cellulo kindly, and after speaking, he nodded politely to her, and turned around to leave.

"Ah~~, wait a minute, if you only need this book, you can take it first. I don't necessarily need this book." Seeing that the boy was leaving, Cellulu quickly asked her to hold back. If this book happens to be needed, it would be better to give it to those who need it more.

Hearing what Cellulu said, the blond boy turned his head, obviously not expecting Cellulu to say so, his face was a little surprised, but then he showed a little surprised expression.

"Really, don't you really have to have this book?" Seeing Cellulu nodding affirmatively, the boy showed a smile for the first time, looking at Cellulu with a smile. "Actually, I've been looking for this book, but it's hard to find. I saw it today, so I'm a little excited. Thank you so much for giving it to me."

"No, you're being polite. I didn't want to let you go. You need this book more than I do, so of course you should read it." Cellulu also smiled and replied, the other party's humility and politeness made her willing to give This book.

The boy took the book away, nodded politely to Cellulu, and left. Cellulo continued to search for other books of the same type in front of the bookshelf.

Picking up a random book that introduced the generalization and customs of the world, Cellulu came to the reading room, picked a window seat and sat down, then opened the page, she wanted to test her writing skills first, but Obviously, the difficulty of this book is still much higher than her current level, and many parts are incomprehensible. Of course, a large part of the reason is because there are too many proper nouns in it. Naturally, she can't understand it if she doesn't know much about the world. Yes, with a sigh, Celluloid decided to honestly borrow another dictionary and look at each other.

In this way, the efficiency is very slow. It is 3 o'clock in the afternoon in the blink of an eye. After putting down the pen, Cellulu rubbed her eyes and looked at the book in her hand. She only read dozens of pages in half a day. , and there are still many things that are not understood.

With a sigh, Celluloid closed the book, feeling a little tired, but she knew that learning a new language and writing was like this at the beginning, and she shouldn't be in a hurry.

It was almost time to go back anyway, she still had to buy groceries and go home to cook, and then went to work. Thinking like this, when she stood up, Cellulu realized that the person who had been sitting across from her just now, reading a book like her for a long time was the blond boy she met in the morning, who was holding the book of World Customs. She watched intently, but didn't notice Cellulo's movement.

Sure enough, she is a book lover. She was so absorbed that she looked at the boy and thought, took the book in her hand and returned it to the original area, and she left the library.

After shopping and returning home, as soon as she entered the door, Cellulu heard a melodious piano sound, followed by a soft and melodious female voice, Lillian singing. An unknown song, but it gives people a warm and calm feeling. Cellulu gently walked to the piano room and looked at Lillian who was sitting on the piano playing and singing. She leaned against the door and listened quietly. The voice, like hers, gives people a gentle and peaceful feeling, and she should be very suitable for singing songs such as church hymns.

After singing the song, Lillian looked at Cellulu by the door, smiled and asked, "How is it, how did I sing?"

"Well, very good, you sing very well." Cellulu commented truthfully.

"Yeah, everyone says that I sing well. I have taken the CD I recorded to the audio-visual company several times to try it out, and the other party is also very interested in approaching me, but each time it is before the official debut. I was stuck, if I could follow the company’s arrangement recklessly, maybe I wouldn’t have made my debut by now, but alas~~ Maybe my awareness is not enough.” Lillian said gloomily. With his own experience, at the end, he smiled bitterly.

Lillian didn't make it clear what the company's arrangement was, but Cellulu could guess that strength doesn't mean everything, especially in the entertainment industry, if you want to make a famous debut, you need a background and a backstage, not so easy to mix, Therefore, many artists will sacrifice their bodies in exchange for the backstage, and obviously Lillian is reluctant to do so, but Cellulo does not know how to comfort Lillian.

In the end, I could only squeeze out one sentence dryly: "Although things may not be satisfactory, if you give up, you will not get any results. As long as you continue, there will always be a turning point. Lillian is also That's what you think, that's why you're sticking to it until now, isn't it?"

"Well, yeah~~" Lillian might just hope that someone can tell her please keep going. Hearing that from Cellulu, her expression was obviously brighter. After all, she must be hesitant. With a little sacrifice, she may be able to realize her dream. In the face of temptation, not everyone can stick to their own principles to do things.

Seeing that Lilian's mood has improved, Cellulo's mood has also become happy, she smiled and said to Lilian: "I'm going to cook now, and I'll let you **** craftsmanship later. Everyone says it's good~"

Lillian was naturally full of praise for Cellulo's craftsmanship, and she felt extremely wise for her decision to keep Cellulo.

-------------------------------------------------------

After a few days, Celluloid has gradually become familiar with the work of the subway coordinator, and has been able to work independently, and no longer needs to have full-time staff to help. However, another thing corresponding to this has been carried out. It wasn't going well. Thinking of studying in her own library, Celluloid couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

Stepping into the reading room of the library, today, as usual, Cellulu saw the blond boy she had met in the library. Because it was a one-sided relationship, Cellulu still paid attention to this boy. After that day, she came to the library every day, and the blond boy reported every day.

He has been reading the World Customs, does he want to read it all? It is estimated that it will take a lot of time. Cellulu glanced at the book as thick as a brick in the opponent's hand and thought, and decided to read this book after the young man finished it. It should be quite a good book that can make people so interested and absorbed .

However, first of all, let’s finish reading this book first. Cellulu looked back at the book in front of her dejectedly. It’s been a few days, and her progress is still very slow. I can't understand, I don't know what to say. Looking at the notes in front of her, it was already densely written with her experiences, doubts, and some questions in words these days. These are what she is going to ask Lillian, but Lillian's time and hers' time always don't match, so these questions have not been answered so far.

Cellulu tapped the notebook lightly with a pen in her hand, feeling a little bit of a headache, so looking at it all at once might not be of much use, but not even looking at it, she was in trouble when a clear and bright voice suddenly sounded beside her.

"Well, I see that you have been taking notes there for the past two days, and you are sometimes very troubled. Did you encounter something that you cannot understand? If possible, we can discuss it together, and maybe it can solve your problem. ."

Cellulu raised her head and looked in surprise at the person who was speaking in front of her. It was the blond boy from the beginning. The other party smiled politely and looked at her friendly with clear blue eyes. Cellulu thought that the boy didn't notice her at all, but he didn't realize that he still paid attention to her.

But for the boy's proposal just now, Cellulu was a little moved, and she was worried that no one would explain it. Now it would be great if this boy could help her, and the other party seemed to have a good mind.

Seeing that Cellulu was just looking at him in surprise, the boy was a little embarrassed and hesitantly said, "That~~"

Before the boy could finish speaking, Cellulu immediately cut off the other party's words.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to notice my situation, and I was a little surprised. But is what you just said true? I did encounter a lot of questions, but no one answered them, and I was very distressed, but my questions may not be as good as You are so deep in your imagination, I wonder if you are still willing to answer this, and will it waste your time?" Cellulu looked at the book of world customs in the boy's hand and hesitated a little.

"No, there is no difference between deep and shallow problems, and explaining to others is also a way to consolidate my knowledge. I also have plenty of time. You don't have to worry about it. Besides, I didn't thank you for what happened last time." The young man heard the words and looked at She smiled sincerely at Celluloid.

"Ah~ that matter, you really don't have to worry about it, but if you don't delay your own affairs, then please help me. Thank you." She couldn't refuse the proposal, because she really needed someone to explain her doubts.

"My name is Cellulu, please call me by name, I'll trouble you in the future." Cellulu formally introduced herself to the other party.

"You're welcome, I also want to ask you for more advice, my name is Kurapika, you can just call me by my name." Kurapika smiled and introduced himself.

Kurapika? Hearing the other party's name, Cellulu was stunned for a moment. The beautiful blond boy named Kurapika gave her a familiar feeling. Coming to this world, there have been several inexplicable familiarity, so many that Celluloid can't explain it with a sense of sight, but even if she thinks hard, she still can't think of anything.

Shaking her head, Cellulu decided not to pursue it anymore, the day she should remember will always come to her mind. Thinking so, she nodded and smiled at Kurapika.

"Okay, Kurapika."
