Chapter 192 Extra People and Things
After hearing what Albedo said, Mao Lilan blinked and it took her a few seconds to react to what had just happened.
Then he waved his hands hurriedly, explaining anxiously that he was just doing his job and was not expecting any reward.
After Albedo's repeated requests, he reluctantly accepted Albedo's thank-you gift.
Xiaolan and Sonoko looked at each other and took the painting from Albedo.
Conan also curiously moved closer to Xiaolan, stood on tiptoe, and stretched his neck to look.
It was only when Xiaolan saw that Conan was tired of looking at the painting like this that she bent down slightly and tilted the painting a little towards Conan, allowing Conan to put down his tiptoeing.
Conan looked intently at Albedo's painting, and saw that the background of the painting was still the maple forest he had just seen, but there were two more people in the middle of the maple forest. They were Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran.
Among them, Sonoko was standing on tiptoe and tying something to the branch of a maple tree, while Mao Lilan stood beside Suzuki Sonoko and pulled the branch down for her so that Sonoko could tie a red handkerchief on the branch.
The faces of the two people in the painting are not drawn very clearly, but at a glance, one can feel Suzuki Sonoko's longing for love and Mao Li Ran's good wishes for her good friend.
Conan had to admit that this was indeed a very good painting, which depicted the expressions of Sonoko and Xiaolan very well. This could be confirmed by the way they both couldn't let go of the painting.
But Conan thinks this painting also has a big flaw, which is - why is he not in this painting!
Obviously, he and Xiaolan have a close relationship, so why is there no figure of him in the painting that Albedo gave to Xiaolan? !
Since there is already a flower-crazy person like Yuanzi, why not just add myself in? It won’t be a big deal.
Seeing Xiaolan and the others concentrating on appreciating Albedo's painting, Kaia approached Lisa and asked in a low voice, "Lisa, I still don't understand, how did you come up with the idea of making this potion?"
"This kind of potion? Kaia, I think you are thinking about something impolite~" Lisa looked at Kaia with a smile.
Seeing Kaeya looking away uncomfortably, Lisa's lips curled slightly, and she explained to Kaeya with satisfaction, "This is just a by-product of the experiment. Albedo and I originally planned to develop a drug that can change the color of fabrics without leaving any trace. This is an unexpected result during the experiment."
Kaiya saw Albedo nod and confirm Lisa's words, and then he believed it, "So that's how it is. Did you succeed in developing it?"
"It worked. And we found that these two potions work better when used together. They can easily change a person's attire, which might be of great help in infiltration and changing clothes." Albedo slowly narrated his thoughts.
Although he thought that the people of Teyvat might not need it very much, this kind of thing might be useful to the Black Organization.
According to him, ever since Elhaisen knew that Cointreau from the Black Organization was the Traveler's brother, his little enthusiasm for work has completely disappeared.
He has been slacking off during this period. He appears to be very serious at work, but when it comes time to leave work, he is not as serious as when he first joined the organization, and he has not produced any research results for a long time.
Although the boss hasn't said anything yet, it seems that Gin and Rum are a little dissatisfied.
According to Kaia, Elhaisen plans to work a little harder during this period and try to produce some results to show that he is working hard during this period.
Now it just so happens that he can give this potion to Elhaisen, as the result of his efforts during this period of time, to help him delay for a while.
Suddenly, Albedo noticed Conan approaching him, and they stopped talking about the topic. Anyway, Albedo could talk to Elhaisen privately about the next matter.
He turned to look at Conan who had walked in front of him and asked softly, "Conan? What's the matter? Is it that Miss Maori doesn't like the painting?"
"Ah, no, no." Conan shook his head, then asked awkwardly, "Brother Albedo, can you add me to this painting as well?"
"No." Albedo refused decisively.
"Ah? Why?" Conan's eyes widened. He never expected that Albedo would refuse without even a second's hesitation.
"Because in this painting I focused on the relationship between Ms. Maori and Ms. Suzuki, adding other people's words would destroy the mood of the picture."
All in all, Albedo just feels that the appearance of Conan, a pseudo-child, is a bit redundant in this painting which mainly depicts the friendship between Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran.
"If Conan also wants to draw, I can draw another one for Conan later." Albedo finally comforted Conan.
"No, I won't bother Brother Albedo." Forget it. He wanted to add something to the painting because he wanted to appear in a painting with Xiaolan. If he was alone, there was no need to bother Brother Albedo.
"That's right, you're just an elementary school student, what do you want a painting for!" Suzuki Sonoko walked not far in front of Albedo, waved her hand, and signaled Conan, the little brat, not to bother others casually.
At this time, with the help of Noel, Mao Lilan also kept the painting that Albedo gave her.
"Conan, don't disturb others casually." Ran Mouri looked at Conan disapprovingly.
"Okay, Sister Xiaolan..." Conan responded helplessly with a long voice.
At this moment, Conan noticed that Albedo and the others were looking behind him. He turned around and found that there was a man walking towards them.
"Um...you guys are here to enjoy the maple leaves, right?" The man walked nearby, stopped, and said something confusing in an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault that today turned out like this."
Just as the man who suddenly appeared and claimed to be a staff member of the "Winter Maple Red" crew was explaining the situation to Conan and the others, some people in the Black Organization's base far away from here were busy cooperating with Ningguang.
Although this cooperation was profitable for the organization, it was said that Rum seemed not very satisfied. He thought that the benefits negotiated by Curacao and Camus were not enough. Even other tasks he arranged were not only not completed, but also discovered.
Especially after Gin found out, he found an opportunity to mock Rum. Rum became even angrier and thought that they were not capable enough, so he punished Curacao and Camus.
After Cointreau knew about this, he said a few words about Rum in the group chat of the action group, believing that the main responsibility for this matter lies with Rum himself, and that it would be enough to just negotiate the cooperation properly, and there is no need to do those unnecessary things.
This caused a wave of agreement from people in the group, including Chianti and Vermouth.
After Rum found out somehow, he became even angrier.
