Chapter 2529 Divorce to Deviance (twenty-two)
Meanwhile (?), at 7:30 in the morning, on the tarmac on the roof of the Cairo Grand Hotel.
"You're finally here." Gusta was waiting there when Albert and Mutter arrived.
"Uh, why is Mutter driving?" He couldn't help asking when he saw Mutter controlling the cavalry to land.
"Uh hahaha..." Albert replied with a smile, directly avoiding the question. And when he jumped from the back seat of the iron cavalry, Mutter's face was still flushed.
"Hmm." Gusta seemed to see through something, groaned, and his eyes suddenly turned hostile when he looked at Albert.
"At 7:30, at least I'm not late." He added: "You are all tired, let's take a rest first. When it's time, let's go to the dock together."
"Isn't the home ground for today's game not in the underground stadium?" Mutter asked curiously.
"No, although the opponent is a visiting European team, the Sphinx has already played the home ground in the previous game. To be fair, they will not let us use the home ground again."
"By the way, who is the Shi Meow team today's opponent?" Albert asked casually.
"Didn't Mutter tell you yet?" The tiger man gave Albert a slightly surprised look: "Today's opponent is the [British Cavaliers]."
Albert's eyes widened: "Big, Great Britain...?!"
Gusta turned to look at Mutter: "------You haven't told him such important information yet?"
"Sorry. I just don't want him to worry." The cat boy replied: "And even if he knows what to do, the result of the game will not be changed because he knows who the opponent is in advance. A game that can be won but cannot be won is still unwinnable, no matter how improvised preparations are made."
"Is it possible to win or not..." Albert couldn't help muttering in a low voice.
"If you want to win, even if your opponent is very strong, you must win." Mutter said: "With all our strength, we will definitely win."
"It's really easy to say..." Albert groaned: "I have to go back to make up for a sleepover and refresh myself. I hope I can make it in time."
Then he hurried to the elevator.
"On the way back...he didn't do anything to you, did he?" Gusta suddenly asked in a low voice after Albert walked away.
"Uh!" Realizing the implied meaning of Gusta's words, the cat boy was as if his entire cat had been stabbed with needles: "How...how do you know... ..."
"Smell a faint . . . odor on you." Gusta replied, "And he was sitting behind you just now. He didn't bother you, did he?"
"He didn't. Just accidentally touched me when he was holding me. Then I was so unsatisfactory." Mutter whispered, blushing, "So, you know all about it? Go to Great Britain with you. The avatar of , confessed to you?"
"Well." The tiger man rubbed his nose: "Don't underestimate my nose."
"Eh." Mutter fell down on the couch like a deflated ball. In fact, he was squatting on the ground with no strength: "Mr. Gusta knew about such a shameful thing."
"Don't worry, I won't say it." The tiger man smiled wryly: "I would like to ask a question: when you and Mr. Albert's clone do that... , did he take the initiative to seduce you, or the other way around?"
Mutter was silent for a long time.
"It's my fault." Then he replied blushing.
"Really. Stupid boy." Gusta sighed, "In that case, I have nothing to say. The doppelganger insists that he is not the same as the real Mr. Albert. They can be said to be two different A person in a parallel world. He has gone back and is no longer in this world, so you should let go of this relationship. Otherwise, the real Mr. Albert likes someone else, and you will not have a chance. It's been tough..."
"Yes. I know." Mutter stared into the distance, just in time to see the sun rising over the horizon in the distance: "I'll try...to forget this stupid idea. .But I need time."
"Then stop partnering with him," Gusta said, "it was Daddy Sphinx who assigned you to take care of him at first, but now Daddy is no longer there, and Daddy's original order is also It's the end of it. Then you can do whatever you want, there's no need to continue to be his sidekick."
"...don't."
"Why? That guy will only bring you more danger. You know he likes someone else, and it's impossible between you. Being around him will only make it more painful— --Even so, do you want to continue?"
"Yes." The cat boy sighed, "I have nowhere to go anyway."
"No, you have." The tiger man hummed: "Move to my house, Mutter. Although I'm not as good at fighting as that guy, I will definitely find a way to protect you. Sphinx After Daddy Cox's death, Daddy's enemies have become a lot more honest, and the one they want to assassinate most is Mr. Albert, and it's more dangerous to stay with him."
The cat boy was silent for a while: "Why do you bring this up? Mr. Gusta, are you interested in me...? Shouldn't you be..."
"Idiot. It's not." The tiger man immediately denied: "I just can't stand it and want to do something for you."
"Why? Because we're teammates? Because you think you're an adult with a responsibility to take care of me as a kid?" Mutter frowned.
"If you want to think so."
"I can take care of myself, Mr. Gusta." The stubborn cat boy refused: "Even if I know it's not possible with him, I still want to stay by his side. Even if it's just a little longer. "
"There is only pain and no return, all that's left is pain, child." Gusta said with regret.
"I know. But..." Mutter muttered a few words, but no one could hear what he was saying.
"Anyway, thank you for everything you've done for us, Mr. Gusta. But I have to go. I need to change my pants..." The cat-man boy avoided his gaze: "How even Gus Mr. Ta can see through it. If other teammates know about this, it will only be more embarrassing."
"You don't care what others think of you. You only care what he thinks of you. Does he know about it?"
"He knew, he knew it when he accidentally bumped into me... there..." Mutt grimaced, looking like he wanted to cry: "I'm probably very Not good at lying, haha..."
"At least he didn't alienate you," Gusta said.
"Yes, at least." Mutter smiled wryly, turning away without even saying goodbye to the other party.
"So slow, what are you talking about with Mr. Gusta?" In front of the luxury room on the top floor of the hotel, Albert was waiting for Mutter, because the cat boy didn't bring a key card, so he couldn't open the door. of.
"Just a small talk." Mutter replied lightly: "I'm tired, go take a shower first."
"Take a shower again? Take a shower all day long, and be careful to wash yourself until it fades and turns into a white cat." Albert closed the door and joked.
"Long-winded." The cat-man boy rolled his eyes at Albert.
"So, you want to calm down and talk to me about what happened on the cavalry before meow?" Albert closed the door and walked into the room with Mutter.
"...Need to talk?" The cat boy avoided the tiger.
"Yes, I think it's better to make this kind of thing clear now. Avoiding it will only make us more embarrassed in the days we spend together." Albert hummed while sitting beside the bed.
Mutter then sat down on the edge of the bed, face to face with Albert, but remained silent.
"Say something." urged the tiger man youth, "I want to know what you think. Was it just an impulse, or did you really have an idea for me?"
"You should already know the answer to this question." Mutter responded with a rhetorical question.
"Then meow, I take your answer as [yes]." Albert looked at the other party seriously: "Sure enough, your choice is exactly the same as Luffy. Why are you all like this, meow, I like guys like this...a guy like me...what am I good at?"
"I just like it. Can't you." The cat boy pouted and whispered, "You are much better than you thought."
"Should I thank you meow?" Albert shrugged, then began scratching his head awkwardly: "And my answer was [no]. I rejected Ruf, and now I have to use Rejecting you in the same way, sorry. I only have Chanel in my heart now, and this kind of thinking probably won't change for a long time. Even if she's gone, or maybe for a long time I will never wake up and meet me."
"I know. I lost to a half-dead man." The cat boy drooped his ears: "But that's to be expected. After all, a guy like me...you must think I'm very Disgusting."
"No. Don't think so."
"Liar!"
"It's true." Albert blinked: "I won't despise you for this kind of thing. Probably, if I hadn't met Chanel, and if Ruff was still around, I would have Be with him."
"You really...!?"
"So, you're just unlucky, at the wrong time, at the wrong stage of my life." Albert shook his head: "I even thought about thinking of you as Luffy. Look at it and give you everything I should have given to Ruf. But now I can't, really can't."
A certain radiance in the eyes of the cat boy is slowly dying out. Until this moment, he actually had a little bit of expectation for the tiger-man youth in front of him, hoping that he would look away from the woman and look at him occasionally. But now, he knew that was impossible. Not because of his identity, gender, or any other reason, but simply because Albert only loved that woman deeply.
"Okay, I've made it clear." The tiger man sighed in relief: "I hope this doesn't make our relationship too awkward. We'll...still in the future. Friends, right?"
"No, my thoughts about you still won't change, just like you still miss the woman knowing she's not coming back." Not restraining will only bother you, so I will try to restrain myself."
"I knew you wouldn't simply give up." Albert scratched his head: "After all, I know better than anyone how stubborn you are."
"I'm sorry."
"No need to apologize." The tiger man sighed: "But at least, you should be able to really restrain yourself and not move your hands or feet while I'm asleep, right?"
"I will. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to stay together again ~IndoMTL.com~ no?"
"Yes. I'm sorry." Albert replied dispassionately. Probably, if Mutter couldn't restrain himself from acting inappropriately, Albert would be ruthless and walk away from the cat boy forever.
"Why the apology?" Mutter asked.
"Because, this should be cruel to you, right? It has to be [restrained]."
"It's not." Mutt blinked and replied, "I'm satisfied if I can stay by your side.
If one day, you meet someone who is right for you, I promise...I will completely disappear from your sight and won't get in your way.
But until then... allow me to go on my way for a while. "
"Understood, so be it." Albert replied: "You...you are such a good person."
"I know, a lot of people have said that to me." Mutter couldn't help laughing bitterly.
