Congratulations, You've Become an NPC

This was the first time Arno heard someone say such a thing.

Many people know this truth, but few are willing to speak out.

People are always unwilling to admit that they are weak and timid.

They would rather die in sorrow than face their own hearts.

Everyone wants to escape,

Especially in a world like this.

It’s just that many people don’t want to admit it,

There are also some people who just can't escape.

What the boss lady said was too pure, she expressed her thoughts so straightforwardly.

Arnold felt that she was probably a person who could face her troubles head-on.

Dare to face and dare to escape are equally difficult.

"What you said may be correct."

"It's just that there isn't much room for escape in this world."

Arno picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

The porcelain white cup body covered his lips, and the thick dark brown liquid was reflected in Arno's eyes.

"Maybe it's exactly what you said."

"In that case, you can come here anytime."

"As long as you don't dislike it, I can accommodate a person who wants to escape at any time."

The landlady said so.

Arno raised his eyes, his dark eyes looking directly at the pretty face of the landlady.

No matter her expression or words, they all come from the heart, without any falsehood.

Arno can feel this.

"Thanks……"

"If that time comes, I'll leave it to you."

Rain splattered on the window glass.

The sky seemed to be falling and became dark - just like the color of Arno's eyes.

"Maybe I can understand a little bit."

Arno suddenly said this.

The landlady's eyes were rippling, and she looked at him doubtfully.

"Why, people will like you at this stage, I understand."

After Yano finished speaking, he stood up.

"Are you leaving?"

The landlady looked at Arnold and then turned to look out the window.

The rain is getting heavier, and it doesn't look like it will stop soon as Arno said before.

"It's raining so heavily now, it doesn't matter if we take a break."

The landlady took two steps forward and tried to dissuade her.

"No."

Arno also looked out the window, his originally softened eyes becoming as cold as ice.

Rain falls from the sky and forms puddles on the ground, reflecting the colors of the sky like a mirror.

His eyes can see clearly,

The countless small puddles began to ripple with the same frequency.

This kind of rippling, unlike the messy ripples hit by raindrops, seems so regular.

It was as if dozens of people were rushing towards him not far away.

Slowly, under Arno's gaze, the ripples caused by the waves grew larger and larger.

"I think it's time for me to go."

Arno turned his head and looked at the face of the landlady, the coldness in his eyes became slightly lighter.

A nice smile appeared on his face and he said softly.

"Thank you, the cocoa is delicious."

"It's just that I have something important to do and I really can't stay for long."

"Next time, I'll drink the coffee you brewed yourself."

After saying that, Arnold turned around and left.

At this time, the landlady suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed his sleeve.

"Just wait a little longer."

"There's an umbrella in the back, I'll get it for you."

She lowered her head and said to Arno.

Silently, Arno glanced at the puddle and nodded slightly.

"Then it'll be hard work."

The landlady then let go of Arno's hand, lowered her head and walked towards the back without raising it.

After her figure disappeared, Arno lowered his head and glanced at the place where he had just been pulled, and sighed inaudibly.

boom!

There was a thunder outside the window.

Like the sky roaring, roaring crazily.

Along with the thunder, the sky briefly lit up for a moment, and then fell into deeper darkness than before.

"The rain is getting heavier and heavier."

Arno murmured.

Now, apart from his voice, the only sound here was the sound of rain hitting the ground and the windows.

The color outside now makes it impossible to tell whether it is day or night.

Arnold didn't do the math either.

No matter what he does, it will never change.

"ah!"

At this moment, a scream came from behind.

That was the voice of the landlady, and Arnold subconsciously wanted to walk towards it.

However, just after taking two steps, his figure stopped.

boom!

There was another thunder outside.

Arno turned his head and glanced out the window, the rain was blurry.

Coupled with the dim light, he could no longer see the state of the puddle clearly.

"..."

"That's why I said, I have a destiny with the coffee shop."

Arno sighed, took out his legs again, and walked towards the direction where the scream came from.

Once you walk out of the front hall where guests are entertained, there is the kitchen behind it.

Because the lights were turned on, Arnold could see the scene inside the kitchen more clearly than outside.

Maybe it's because this cafe also sells cakes, but the kitchen is filled with all kinds of knives.

The sharpness of the blade reflected a chilling luster under the light.

The landlady was sitting in front of the wall hanging with a bunch of knives.

Next to her, a cute umbrella with a bear pattern was rolling slowly.

It looked like she had just slipped and fell to the ground.

The light pink home clothes obviously could not completely cover the boss lady's exquisite body, and a pair of white legs were slightly exposed.

Arno just glanced at it lightly and then withdrew his gaze.

He walked to the landlady's side, bent down and stretched out his hand to her.

"Are you ok?"

"ah……"

Seeing a hand suddenly appear in front of her eyes, the landlady's expression was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she stretched out her seemingly weak and boneless hand to hold Arno's hand.

With a gentle pull from Arno, the landlady stood up.

"Sorry, I seem to be worrying you."

The landlady lowered her head, and Arnold could see that the roots of her ears were red.

"It's okay, it's just because of me."

Arnold picked up his umbrella and waved it in front of the landlady.

"I'm so sorry, I only have umbrellas like this at home."

The voice of the landlady seemed even softer.

Arno shook his head in amusement.

"No, there is no such thing."

"As long as the umbrella can help the user, it is enough."

"Besides, I think this umbrella is quite cute."

The boss lady's expression relaxed a little.

"Well, thank you for your kindness."

"I will personally deliver this umbrella to you later."

Arno lowered his head and expressed his gratitude to the landlady.

"I have important things to do. This time, I really have to say goodbye."

"Well, have a good trip."

The landlady said with a smile.

Arno nodded and turned to leave.

But just as he was about to walk out of the kitchen door, the landlady stopped him again.

"Um...my name is Lydia."

"Lydia Elena."

The landlady said to Arno's back.

"Next time I come, I will make a cake for you to try."

"Please, be sure to come."

Arno did not look back;

He just waved the umbrella in his hand and said with a chuckle.

"I remember."
