Stray Chapter 184: A good project never lacks investment
The night wind blows in directly from the open door, bringing the coolness of a midsummer night to the house.
"Charlotte, do you have anything to eat?"
Walking from the entrance to the living room, Xia Ran asked casually, although he was not hungry at all, and he didn't need to eat at all. There was a biological perpetual motion machine named S2 mechanism in every cell of his, but At this time, I don't always feel good about not eating something.
It's not a habit, but a more subtle factor, like even though many people aren't hungry at all, if they don't eat breakfast or dinner, they still feel that something is not right.
Or maybe at night, I'm not hungry at all, but after seeing my roommate ordering takeout, I still can't help but join in, whether it's to focus on participation or have some sense of ritual——
Anyway, I feel that others have eaten and I haven't eaten, but something is not right. After thinking about it, Xia Ran also thinks that maybe she should have some sense of ritual.
"Please wait for this, Master..."
The head maid appeared in front of him like a ghost, and looked at him calmly, "Miss Yukinoshita just came back from outside, her behavior was a little strange, and she went back to the room in a panic. , I can't even call her..."
"Oh, so what? What are you trying to say?" Xia Ran twitched the corners of her mouth, pretending to be completely ignorant, and asked casually.
Just now that was the greatest tension I have ever felt in my life, but the world is fair, so this incident is also quite a huge mental shock for the girl. It is not that she is not mentally prepared. , but there is no psychological preparation at all.
Naturally, it was impossible to get a response. The result was that the girl was defeated. After changing the topic in a panic, she found a reason to leave directly.
But if she really agrees in a snap, that's really questionable.
"Did you bully Yukinoshita-san just now?" Charlotte pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at her master.
“…”
“…”
"I want to ask, if I say yes, Charlotte, are you not going to prepare food for me?"
Xia Ran sighed helplessly, does this kind of question also need to be confirmed? Obviously, the head maid should be the one who understands his character best, right?
"How could that be? Master, I will always be your most loyal puppet, of course I won't do such a thing..."
The corner of the maid's long mouth rose slightly, sketching a rather beautiful arc, and then turned around and walked straight to the direction of the kitchen. The long silver hair and the ribbon on the maid's outfit were lifted up and swayed gracefully. on.
It seems that she really just asked a question, and confirmed it with a cautious attitude. Before asking this question, she already had the answer in her heart.
——You are really starting to have a character, Charlotte...
Xia Ran sighed and watched the back of the head maid walk into the kitchen. He did believe that the other party was absolutely loyal to him, but as for whether he would do such a thing, this is uncertain.
Loyalty is a concept in the general direction, not referring to obeying words in these small things. It seems that people who always obey their own words may not be loyal, but loyal people may not necessarily follow their own in everything.
Basically, it's two different things.
He turned his head and looked into the living room, and found that the three princesses still did not seem to have reached a consensus. At the moment, he was staring with big eyes and small eyes, and the atmosphere was quite discordant. , a **** storm.
But to be precise, it should be Mianyue Yiji who was glaring unwillingly, but Penglaishan Huiye, who was opposite her, was yawning boredly, then put down her little hand, and continued to focus on it. On the latest handheld I bought, there was one thing to do with this sister.
There is a lot of indifference. If you don't agree, don't talk about it. Anyway, it's not my intention to be anxious.
—Although it is, in fact, true.
Mianyue Yiji almost clenched her white teeth, but she could only hold back her anger and continue to try to hold on to her own ideas. She originally thought that Kaguya had done such an excessive thing in the first place. There will be some concessions.
After all, it's all the other party's fault, isn't it? But from what it looks like now, it's purely because she thinks too much, Kaguya is so black-bellied that she has no conscience at all, and she doesn't feel any sense of wrong or guilt at all.
Even the few problems caused by seeing the gods in the moonlight night did not affect her making even the slightest concession on this fundamental principle. After adjusting her mood, she returned to the previous level. kind of calm.
As for Mianyue Fengji, the princess of the moon, just like before, she just ignored it and only let her sister negotiate this matter, but she was sitting on the sofa on the other side with a smile. , is talking softly with Dongfenggu Sanae.
It's really interesting, she's very friendly, her innocent personality seems to be able to chat with everyone, and she can have a common topic with everyone, which is really a great talent.
Miss Feng Zhu, who was dressed in a blue and white witch costume, looked attentively and nodded repeatedly.
For her, this should be regarded as staying up late, right? Xia Ran glanced at the time, but it didn't seem like it was a big deal. In the past few days, Miss Feng Zhu has indeed had such a tendency. Compared with someone talking and playing here, it's more lively...
It's better than nine o'clock, when she will go back to Gensokyo to sleep, and that kind of daily life is a little too boring.
Kanako and Suwako's relationship with her is naturally excellent, but if they have a lot of common topics or something, it's a joke. After all, no matter how close the relationship between parents and children is, they are still not the same generation.
Xia Ran looked around the living room and found that Yukinoshita Yangnai was not there. He probably went back directly through the door at the end of the corridor on the second floor?
After all, Yukinoshita's classmate's apartment is just across the door, although it is now more like a room on the second floor after being connected directly through a barrier, rather than any other single-family house.
"Ah, Xia Ran, you're back..."
The blue-and-white witch saw the young man beside her at a glance, and immediately stood up happily and greeted him.
"It's Sanae..."
Xia Ran yawned. Although she was slightly surprised by the girl's reaction, she was still quite casual, as if she was treating a good friend she knew well, and he was indeed a little curious—
"Speaking of which, what are you talking about?"
How did these two have a common theme? The princess from the moon, and the high school student Feng Zhu on the ground... Even if the two have the right personalities to talk about, they must have a common topic of interest, right?
"What do Xia Ran think we are talking about?" Miss Feng Zhu asked with a smile.
“…”
“…”
"A common topic between girls?" After a moment of silence, Xia Ran put her hand on her chin and answered thoughtfully.
"The answer is too general. Although it seems that Xia Ran is serious and serious, this contrast will only make me feel more perfunctory..."
Miss Blue and White Miko twitched her eyebrows subtly.
"Cough, that's it..." Xia Ran coughed a little embarrassedly, "That should be lemons that can be used to remove scale and the like..."
"What's up with that housewife's bean knowledge?" Dongfeng Gu Sanae's expression was slightly surprised.
"Huh? Isn't this?"
"Of course it's impossible to say such a thing!"
"That's...His Royal Highness Toyohime is discussing with you, Sanae, how to make bread?" Xia Ran glanced at the kitchen, subconsciously showing a slightly wary look.
"I don't know why, I think Xia Ran, you are saying something very rude..." Dongfeng Gu Sanae looked exhausted, "If you want to eat bread, I can do it now, although It's a little late, but it doesn't matter..."
"Thank you Sanae, I don't dare... I don't want to eat it." Xia Ran nodded sincerely, but her words were subtle.
"What does it mean to dare?"
"...I dare not think about..."
“…”
“…”
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became a little strange. The blue and white witch stared at him angrily, puffing up her cheeks in dissatisfaction, making people wonder if she would wake up in the middle of the night to make a few breads, and then secretly poison Xia Ran .
Mianyue Fengji smiled softly, looking at the interaction between the two, her eyes were soft, and she seemed slightly envious.
In the end, the capital of the moon is still too deserted, and it has been lonely for a long time. The people of the moon seem to be clean and free from filth and dust. In fact, most of them seem to have no feelings, and they don't know why they live.
If she doesn't have her own sister who can rely on each other and keep each other warm... In short, she is envious of these people on the ground, and she also understands why Kaguya and the master are reluctant to go back.
"Forget it, it was actually His Highness Toyohime who just told me about the previous matter..." Dongfenggu Sanae breathed a sigh of relief and said, followed by a look of anticipation in his eyes. Looking at him, "I was thinking, can this matter help Suwako-sama and the others..."
She's not some kind of half-baked orphan, the kind who doesn't know much about the mysterious side.
I was trained as a real witch since I was a child, and later became a god. Dongfenggu Sanae's understanding of gods, beliefs, etc. is actually very deep and unique. Naturally, I immediately discovered the opportunity acutely——
If this is true, then it may be very helpful for my two gods to gather faith.
Xia Ran was stunned for a moment. He was thinking about how to trick the Moriya Shrine into the car to help him operate the virtual worlds that were about to be launched. As a result, before he had a good idea of what to say, Sanae first came to the door to express his investment intention?
He rubbed his chin, and suddenly burst into a wide-eyed smile. He stepped forward, grabbed the girl's hands, and shook it up and down enthusiastically:
"If you say this, then I won't be sleepy, but it's a bit complicated to say, and it's just an idea now! But don't worry, I'll come up with a demo version soon... "
