Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 85 Hide and Seek in the Trash Can

"What? The envoy of [Intelligence]?" Sambo stared wide-eyed at Eve in disbelief.

Not a buddy?

You say you are not only the messenger of pleasure, but also the messenger of knowledge?

Are you kidding me? Pleasure and intellect seem completely unrelated, don't they?

Are you suggesting a highly intelligent prankster? Or is it a case of genius on the left and madness on the right? Do you consider yourself a useless scholar?

Wait a minute, what if it really is a dual command of pleasure and intellect...?

This is terrible! The sky is falling! Can we even stay in this universe anymore?!

Sambo looked at Eve with a sullen expression and asked with a serious face, "Sister Eve, who exactly were you before?"

“I already said, I am the Nameless Guest, a member of the Star Train,” Eve replied as before.

Bronya left Natasha's clinic, wanting to be the first to search for March 7th and the Star.

"Strange, Natasha said they came from around here?" Bronya looked around but didn't see March 7th and Star.

Just then, a noise came from the back street of the clinic.

"...It's a promise, okay? If you win at hide-and-seek, you'll tell your sister all the secrets."

Bronya recognized the voice; it sounded like March 7th's voice. She quickly walked over.

Sure enough, in the alley, two tall women were playing with a group of children.

That was March 7th and the star.

“One by one! ...What does that mean?” Hook repeated, looking at March 7th with a puzzled expression.

At the same time, Xing also looked at March 7th, revealing a very intelligent look in her eyes, "Oh right, what does 'in detail' mean?"

"Sigh, you've really gone too far." March 7th covered her face helplessly.

Why do I feel like I'm leading a group of children?

Oh, let's remove the "seems" part; I really am taking care of a group of kids!

March 7th shook his head helplessly, "It means telling everything. We can't hide anything, and we can't lie to my sister."

Hook nodded as if he understood, then said angrily, "Hmph, Hook isn't an earthling, he wouldn't lie!"

A child nearby chimed in, "I would never lie!"

Bronya watched this scene and walked over, puzzled.

March 7th and Xing seemed engrossed in playing, completely unaware of themselves.

When one companion is unconscious and another elder is missing, is there a more suitable solution than "finding a few kids to play games together"...? What a load of rubbish!

With Eve's mother nowhere to be found, how could she possibly be in the mood to play hide-and-seek here?

Bronya's face turned ashen as she strode forward.

Seriously, can't these two tell the difference between what's important and what's urgent? What kind of time is this to be playing around?

"It's a deal~ Let's play then...wait?"

Bronya had just walked over when March 7th noticed her.

She asked somewhat awkwardly, "When...did you arrive?"

“We’ve been here a long time,” Bronya said sternly.

"Uh, we don't want to play hide-and-seek, let me explain first..."

At this moment, Xing asked in confusion, "Huh? Didn't we want to play hide-and-seek?"

"When one companion is unconscious and another is missing, is there a better solution than 'finding a few children to play games together'?"

"Hmm?" Bronya's expression immediately worsened.

"Of course not!!!" March 7th immediately covered his face, looking like he was about to cry but had no tears.

She continued, "Here's what happened. When I woke up, Dr. Natasha said that Eve had been taken away by that scoundrel Sambo."

"I went out and looked around but couldn't find him. Just then, I ran into these kids who said they knew where he was."

"But they said that if you want to know, you have to join some 'Mole Party,' and to join the Mole Party, you have to play games together, and only by winning can you prove my skills... Do you understand now?"

"Oh my god, I'm finally done explaining."

Despite his dry mouth, March 7th finished speaking quickly and clearly.

After hearing March 7's explanation, Bronya's brows relaxed slightly.

Xing exclaimed in sudden realization, "Oh! I see!"

"I thought it was a real game of hide-and-seek."

"Sigh..." March 7th covered his face and sighed helplessly.

Bronya sighed, then nodded. "I understand. I'll help you."

March 7th immediately perked up, "That's great! I not only have to deal with a bunch of kids, but also take care of Xing. With your help, it will be a bit easier for me."

“It’s nothing,” Bronya said.

At this moment, Hook, who had been waiting for a long time, shouted, "Hey, how long are you going to keep whispering?! The Mole Party's time is very precious!"

"Let's begin, let's begin. By the way, this young lady also wants to join the Mole Party, can we play together? Lord Black Hook?" March 7th pointed to Bronya beside him.

Hook thought for a moment: "Hmm... alright? It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it. You guys can all work together to catch people!"

"Let's begin now! Count to fifty before you open your eyes, and big sister, you can't cheat!"

"Of course! We are chivalrous heroes who roam the universe, how could we possibly renege on our promise!" March 7th assured.

"Cosmic Knights? Hook's never heard of them, but they're definitely not as good as our Mole Gang!"

"The game of hide-and-seek begins! The three older sisters must close their eyes and count!"

After Hook finished speaking, the three children scattered immediately.

March 7th and Xing closed their eyes and began counting: "One...two...three..."

Bronya shook her head, then closed her eyes and became serious.

"Forty-seven...forty-eight...forty-nine...fifty!"

As soon as the count reached fifty, March 7th immediately popped out, excitedly shouting, "Hehe~ Are you ready? Hide your tails, your big sister is coming to catch the bad kids!"

"Hehe, let's catch the bad kids!!" Hoshino also jumped out.

Only Bronya stepped forward, sighing, "Who's the child here anyway?"

On March 7th, they immediately set up a search party in the alley, looking here and there, even under manhole covers and on top of streetlights, but still couldn't find any trace of the children.

"That's strange, where did they hide?"

March 7th looked at Xing with a puzzled expression and noticed that half of Xing's body was inside the trash can.

"Sigh, there's no way he could hide in the trash can, right? Come out now!" March 7th sighed helplessly, walked to the trash can, and prepared to pull Xing out.

Just then, Xing suddenly shouted, "Gotcha!!"

"What?" March 7th looked completely bewildered.

Xing emerged from the trash can, holding a small child in her arms.

The child said angrily, "Ugh! I hid it in the trash can, but it still got found."

March 7th said helplessly, "This... there really are people hiding in stinky trash cans?"

"Damn it! Lord Hook said no one would rummage through the stinky trash can!!" the child shouted, pouting.

On March 7th, he reached out and removed the trash from the child's head, then helplessly spread his hands.

"What a pity, it's your own fault for running into her."
