Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Familiar Taste
[ Matilda raised her head and looked at Lyon in astonishment, the corners of her mouth were wide open, showing her white teeth, and she smiled. She energetically asked Lyon if he needed milk and if she could bring it herself.
Lyon stayed astonished for a long time, unsure how to respond. Matilda spoke again and asked, "Do you need it?"
Seeing that bright smile dazzled for a moment, Lyon nodded, and then the little girl ran downstairs excitedly and went to a nearby store to buy milk and ingredients....]
Asuma stroked his chin beard. He still didn't agree with Lyon's actions. As an assassin, he must be ruthless and without desires. Sooner or later, he would get burned like this.
During this period of time, there were many people reading newspapers like Asuma, but so far no one expected a carton of milk to entangle the two people so deeply.
"Hey, Asuma?? Don't eat it yet!" It's only 6:30 in the morning, and there aren't many people coming to the store for noodles!"
When the boss is free, he can't help but remind him again that wheat noodles should be eaten hot to taste best."
"Ah! Boss, I'll eat it right away!" Asuma responded with a few sentences, but his eyes were fixed on the newspaper and he kept looking at the direction of the plot.

[ Players always think they are favored by the heavens, and that's why they are laden with gambling debts, until people block their doors.
Several ninjas ran into this rented building, and the leader, with a grass hanging from the corner of his mouth, kicked the door of Matilda's house.
"Ah~ who are you?"
"Daddy, someone... ah!"
The creaking of the next door's door caught Lyon's attention. He had been an assassin for a long time, so he couldn't help but rush to the door and look through a small hole in the door.
Except for a ninja guarding the girl's house, who had a forehead protector proving him to be from Kumogakure.
Everyone else entered the house.
There was a lot of noise, the sound of a kunai cutting a throat, the sound of a shuriken piercing flesh, the scream of a woman... all mixed together and was very loud.
Suddenly, Matilda went upstairs with two buckets of milk in her arms. The moment she saw a tall man standing in front of her house, she clearly felt danger. Suddenly, her heart beat fast. She can't stop, once she stops...
Although her legs were already weak, Matilda still went through the door of her house without changing her expression. At that moment, she secretly looked inside. There was blood, and her gambling father...
After turning her back to the man, Matilda's expression was a bit out of control, and she couldn't help but shed tears of surprise. She walked up to Lyon's door, raised her hand and knocked, and whispered, "Please, let me in...
Lyon stood behind the door, and could only see Matilda's face through the small hole in the door, tears had already reached her chin, she looked extremely embarrassed, walking a bit restlessly, with her hands on the doorknob, pretending to enter the room... ]

Asuma put down the newspaper and let out a long sigh of relief. The four big characters "to be continued" were printed in his eyes, which were a bit dazzling, and the corners of his mouth twisted, feeling a little tickle in his heart.
This author is really good and just stopped the article at a critical point.
Lyon probably won't open the door, right?
For a girl he has only met twice and a passerby in life, it's not worth messing with a hired ninja.
But that was just Asuma's idea.
He wanted to know how the author handled it. The result would be tomorrow. He suppressed the desire to know the follow-up plot in his heart, set aside the "Konoha Daily," and started eating the completely cold soba noodles.
After Asuma finished eating the soba, he gave the money to the boss and left with the newspaper.
When the boss was cleaning the bowls and chopsticks, he found that not a drop was left in Asuma's bowl as usual. He couldn't help but say in surprise, "The soba noodles are cold, but you can still eat them with gusto? Today's 'Konoha Daily' is something else; otherwise, I'll have to buy a copy when I'm free."
...
Around seven or eight in the morning, the neighborhood started to get lively. There was a young woman who appeared to be in her twenties—Minako. After going out to buy ingredients for the day, she went to the kiosk to get a copy of the "Konoha Daily."
She had just finished reading "Konoha Love Story" two days ago and now had nothing to read, so she could only read the newspaper as usual. Her husband had gone to work, Minako cleaned the room, prepared a cup of hot tea, sat in the living room, and took out a newspaper to pass the time.
Minako didn't notice any changes in the "Konoha Daily" until she read the "Novel Column" step by step, and she lifted her drowsy eyelids in surprise— a novel?!
She was excited at first, but Minako pursed her lips when she saw the title "Lion: The Professional" and couldn't help but sigh.
But it's fine to stay still. Minako simply read on, and less than halfway through, she became excited and couldn't help but sigh, "Oh my god, the author's writing is too good! The fight scene can be described so well, Lyon is so handsome, a taciturn assassin guy with a strong body and a boring appearance."
Especially after Matilda appeared on the stage, Minako couldn't help but start cheering, and the whole person couldn't sit properly on her knees. She covered half of her face with a newspaper and couldn't help but laugh, "It turned out to be a story between the assassin guy and a little girl, oh my god, this is too sweet!"
Minako blushed for a moment, then turned over and lay on the floor, and continued reading, her face reddened, and when she saw Matilda standing in front of Lyon's door crying, she couldn't help but feel a bit heartbroken.
In secret, she wiped away the tears of poor Matilda, Minako just wanted to keep reading, but she turned the page and found that this was the last page of the "Konoha Daily." She snapped back to her senses.
She couldn't help but complain quickly, "Is this a serialized novel? Isn't it?... It wants to be like 'Konoha Love Story,' buying it and chasing it every day."
"Wait."
Minako suddenly felt that something was wrong, she picked up the newspaper again, she was so drawn into the story at that moment that she didn't realize, now she looked at the writing carefully, and it turns out it was extremely familiar.
