"It'll be in the next few days. If you have anything else that needs to be taken care of, take care of it in the next few days, otherwise I won't be able to help you later."
Ma En nodded, chatted with Aozaki Touko for a few more minutes, and then left the workshop.
As for why we didn't get intimate?
Please, this is practically an old married couple. If they want to be intimate, they should do it at night.
As Marne was preparing to make breakfast for the children who were about to wake up, he saw the Lion King rushing back.
Upon seeing Marne, she rushed over, slightly out of breath, and exclaimed, "Master! Dredd, she!..."
Ma En was taken aback and quickly asked, "What's wrong with her? Don't rush, tell me slowly."
"She, she..." Zi Wang paused for a moment, barely managing to recover, and said, "She ran away, I can't find her."
"..."
Maren was slightly speechless, thinking something serious had happened. He had thought something had happened to Mordred, but it turned out to be just this?!
But considering her state when she ran out, it's understandable that we should be worried if she gets lost.
When someone's mental state collapses, the worst thing you can do is leave them alone. This can easily cause them to have irrational thoughts and do something rash.
"You wait here, I'll go find her. Leave it to me."
Thinking this, Ma En casually conjured some food to serve as breakfast, handed it to the Lion King, and then rushed out to activate spatial scanning, beginning to search for Mordred's whereabouts throughout the entire territory of Fuyuki.
Chapter 178 Mo Zai: ? You want to be my stepfather!
When Marne anxiously located Mordred using the space scanning radar, he was immediately speechless at the scene before him.
This place is a pedestrian street. It is close to summer vacation. In addition to the primary school students who have already started their holidays, junior and senior high school students who still have to go to school come and go. There are shops on both sides selling breakfast and snacks.
Mordred stood out so much from the crowd.
At this moment, she was holding a pile of breakfast and snacks bought from various shops, and was munching on them fiercely as if venting her frustration.
"..."
Marx and Engels breathed a sigh of relief, then fell silent.
Sure enough, a brat is a brat. When you think she might do something drastic, you've already lost.
Just as Marne was speechless, Mordred noticed Marne's arrival.
Well, it's hard not to notice her. There are only students around, and basically no one else. Just like how obvious she is here, Ma En's sudden appearance here is as abrupt as it could be.
Mordred's expression changed, becoming somewhat grim, and he quickly turned and walked in the opposite direction.
"You stop!"
How could Ma En let her get away? He immediately chased after her and stopped her.
With his path blocked, Mordred had no choice but to stop, looking up at Marne with the same resentful gaze one would give a man who had killed his father.
Although Marne did not kill her 'father', 410 was almost done with it. After what just happened, Mordred's impression of Marne plummeted to an unprecedented low.
She said coldly, "What do you want to do? Don't think that just because you have that kind of relationship with my father... and her, you can tell me what to do."
Ma En sighed slightly and said, "Now, I'm not speaking to you in that capacity. Apart from that capacity, I am still your Master. This is not the place to talk. Come with me first."
Mordred's expression changed slightly, but she still said somewhat sullenly, "Hmph! No way, if you want to go back, go back yourself."
"It's not about going back, it's just about leaving here first. Do you want to become a laughingstock in front of so many people?"
Upon hearing Marne's words, Mordred subconsciously glanced around and discovered that the surrounding students were already casting gossipy glances at her.
Mordred immediately lost his temper and roared, "What are you looking at! If you look at me, I'll gouge your eyes out!"
Even with her strikingly beautiful face, Mordred's madness overshadowed her beauty.
His wild and fierce expression and murderous aura immediately terrified the students who had never seen the world before, and they hurriedly turned their heads away, not daring to look at him again.
"Alright, stop scaring them, let's go."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ma En stepped forward, grabbed her, and dragged her away on the spot.
Mordred felt too embarrassed to stay any longer and silently let Marne pull her along.
The two stopped at a deserted embankment.
"Are you hungry? Eat these."
Marne snatched the food from Mordred's arms and then prepared some of the delicacies he had made for her.
Mordred gave Marne a slight glare, but didn't refuse, and happily began to eat.
Well, Marx and Engels' problems are Marx and Engels' problems, and food is food; food is innocent.
Seeing Mordred accept the food and start eating, Ma En breathed a slight sigh of relief; this first step had been taken.
When people are extremely grief-stricken, there is a certain probability that they will turn their grief and anger into appetite. This is because delicious food can bring people pleasure, which can be called food therapy. This is also why some people say that delicious food can bring healing.
The fact that Mordred still knows how to eat and chooses delicious food is a good sign, indicating that she has developed a tendency to self-regulate and is not getting stuck in a rut.
So Maren composed himself before slowly saying, "Why did you react so strongly just now? Did you feel that I stole your father?"
She didn't like Mordred's straightforwardness and her tendency to beat around the bush, so Marne directly stated her opinion.
"..."
Mordred fell silent, even slowing down her eating.
To be honest, she didn't know why she had such a strong reaction.
Her father hadn't done anything to wrong her; he was just with someone else.
After thinking for a moment, Mordred slowly said, "It's none of your business. Perhaps I was just disillusioned."
As he said this, Mordred's mood dipped again.
Yes, mainly it was disillusionment.
Her 'father' actually has a man?!
This was so different from the perfect image Mordred had in her mind that the stark contrast made her feel like her worldview had been overturned.
Ma En raised an eyebrow: "So, you don't object to me being your stepfather?"
"What?!" Dred was startled upon hearing this, looking at Maren in disbelief. "You bastard! My father wasn't enough, you actually want to be my stepfather?! My mother's idea?!"
Maren was immediately speechless: "Who's talking about Morgan? I was talking about Leah."
Mordred breathed a sigh of relief: "Then please explain more clearly. And she's not a stepfather, she's more like, well, my father's queen? Or a stepmother or something, like Guinevere."
Upon hearing this, Maren's eyes twitched involuntarily. What the hell?! A princess?! She's a man, for crying out loud!
Maren was utterly speechless at Mordred's views on men and women.
He was certain he had to say something, otherwise, if Mordred started calling him "stepmother" in public, wouldn't he be mortified?!
"Mordred, your view on men and women is really problematic. Look, isn't your 'father' a woman? Even if she's outwardly described as a man, she's essentially still a woman, isn't she?"
Mordred didn't understand why Marne suddenly brought this up, but just as she was about to refute it, she found herself speechless.
That's indeed the case, and she herself knows it.
“If you don’t answer, I’ll take that as a yes.” En pressed her advantage, saying, “Since she’s a woman, and I’m a man as her partner, shouldn’t you address me as ‘man’?”
That makes sense, and any normal person would agree with it. But Mordred countered, "It's not the same. You said it yourself, my father claims to be male, so naturally you should be addressed as female."
"Hiss~~!"
Maren gasped in surprise. He never expected that Mordred, that brat, would be so eloquent and persuasive.
The reason he came up with was so compelling that he couldn't refute it for a moment!
Chapter 179 Mo Zai's Pain and Pleasure
Feeling that he might not be able to win the argument with the other party for the time being, Ma En quickly shifted his focus from correcting the other party's views on men and women to correcting the other party's way of addressing him.
"No, you don't need to think about what female title to use for me. Just call me by my name when you talk to others, or say that I am your Master."
Mordred blinked, somewhat puzzled as to why Marne cared so much about this, but nodded to indicate that she understood.
In fact, she treated Guinevere the same way, always addressing her by her title such as "Queen" or "Princess," or simply by her name, never using any affectionate or familial terms.
"As for our private time, well, I'll discuss that with Leah when I get back, and we'll talk about it later. Now, let's talk about your matter."
Marx and Engels then took the opportunity to end the topic and bring it back on track.
"Tell me, why are you upset? Is it because I'm dating Lia?"
Upon hearing this, Mordred fell silent again, quietly enjoying her meal for a while before slowly saying, "Actually, I'm not angry, I just find it a little hard to accept."
"Then why can't it be accepted?"
Why Mordred couldn't accept it was something Mordred herself wanted to know.
She clearly hoped that her 'father' could be more humane, but now her 'father' is so humane and compassionate that he has even found another man, and she can't accept this change.
All I can say is that this is probably completely different from what she expected and anticipated.
The change she hopes to see is actually in the attitude towards her, not in her as a person.
Maren had roughly guessed this as well, since he had talked to Mordred before and had discovered some clues at the time, knowing why Mordred had stayed.
So he said, "Actually, you don't need to be disappointed. She's already changing. I just accelerated the process. She was very worried about you just now. After you dumped her, she rushed back to me for help. She was so anxious that she ran out of energy."
"Huh~, really?" Dred paused upon hearing this, looking a bit dumbfounded, and asked blankly.
"Of course it's true. You'll see when you get back. See if she cares about you or scolds you. Sometimes, those who care about you don't necessarily say what you want to hear. On the contrary, some things that may sound unpleasant to you are actually what they really care about."
"Then what are we waiting for! Let's go back now!"
{} 8 5 6 3 2 3 6 1 3
After Marne's words of advice, Mordred was no longer as upset as before.
Hearing that her father actually cared about her, Mordred was instantly energized, as if she had been injected with adrenaline.
My father is concerned about me. I must hurry back and feel his care!
Thinking this, Mordred grabbed Marne and excitedly ran towards home.
