"Wait, wait! Mom?! It's not what you think!"
Chapter Ten: A Strong Coolness
"Well then, I'll be going now." Wakaba Mutsu stood on the balcony, looking at Koshimura Sawa, and said softly.
"Okay, be careful on the road." Koshimura Sawa nodded.
The girl made a gesture in the air, and translucent green vines began to grow and entwine rapidly in the air, eventually coalescing into a pink guitar.
So why are all your special effects so flashy, while my [Blade Pact] just appears in my hand in a simple and unadorned way...?
Ruoye Mutsu, holding her guitar, took a few steps forward, but then suddenly stopped and turned around.
"Um..." Her voice seemed a little clearer than usual, "Today... I had a lot of fun."
She looked up at him earnestly with her golden eyes: "Can you come again tomorrow?"
"Huh?" Koshimura Sawa paused for a moment, a little surprised. "Of course, let's add each other on Line first. Just send a message before you come."
Ruo Yemu gave a soft "hmm" and took out her phone to add him as a friend.
So, even after the transformation ends, your personal belongings are still on your person...?
Come to think of it, if you can't keep your personal belongings, wouldn't your clothes disappear too?
Now I have no choice but to wholeheartedly support Xiao Mu in learning Druid.
Yuecun Ze watched as she held the guitar, walked to the window of the balcony, and gently plucked the strings with her slender fingers.
A soft light suddenly enveloped her body, like the holy light that often appears when magical girls transform in anime.
Whose paladin is this? Kick him out right now!
Immediately afterwards, the ball of light suddenly began to shrink and change rapidly—
Finally, a fluffy toy bird with eyes shaped like two black buttons flapped its wings, hovered in mid-air, glanced back at Yuecunze, and then nimbly slipped through the gap in the balcony railing, disappearing into the boundless night.
Koshimura watched her leave and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Finally, we've seen that little devil off..."
Speaking of which...aren't level 3 Druids' Wilderness Form unable to transform into creatures with flight speed?
Could this also be a result of powerful capital investment?
...Forget it, thinking about it carefully, since she can turn into a doll, she can't possibly be an ordinary druid. I'd better finish my homework quickly, take a shower, and go to bed.
......
A moment later, Yuecun Ze lay on his familiar bed, his eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling without any sign of sleepiness.
Can't sleep.
Damn it... why hasn't this smell gone away yet?!
The lavender scent, identical to that on Nagasaki Motoyo, wafted around him, penetrating every nostril of his nostrils.
Although he knew that the idea of body odor was probably just something he imagined or that it was from being soaked in shower gel... that didn't stop him from overthinking!
Koshimura couldn't help but turn over in bed.
After a long while, it turned over again.
And so, he successfully became insomniac.
------
"Koshimura-kun, although I know you were just discharged from the hospital and I really want to commend you for not being late, but..." Kawakami Sadaya looked worriedly at his panda-like dark circles under his eyes, "Are you really okay? Why don't you go home and rest some more?"
So I'm still dreaming? I actually saw my teacher give me a day off...
"Don't worry, teacher... he won't die anytime soon." Yuecunze waved his hand and said weakly.
I wish I were an elf, I could stay awake by meditating for just 4 hours a day.
"No, what did you do last night?" He had just dragged his tired body to his seat when Wen Shuiheyan immediately turned around and asked, "You didn't really burn out after just one night of passion, did you?"
"Don't even mention it," said Koshimura Sawa, slumped over the table, his voice weary and resentful. "I was kept up until midnight last night..."
Working on it until midnight?!
Chihaya Aine, who was pretending to read a book attentively but had actually been eavesdropping, suddenly widened her eyes and crumpled the pages of the book in her hands.
Could it be that the girl on the phone yesterday... they really...?!
Just then, Takamatsu Akari turned around worriedly and asked in a low voice, "Koshimura-kun... are you alright? You look terrible..."
Chihaya Aine quickly buried her face behind the upright book, leaving only her pair of flickering gray eyes visible.
"Ah, Takamatsu-kun... I'm fine..." Koshimura Sawa managed to lift his head and gave Takamatsu Akari a reassuring smile. "I just didn't sleep well, don't worry."
Immediately afterwards, Chihaya Aine saw that Hachiman Hikigaya in the back seat had also come over, and words like "first blood," "34 times," and "sexy" could be vaguely heard from the side.
Damn it, he's not just any ordinary scumbag, we have to take him down hard!
I really have control over you!
“Sawarin—” Chihaya Aine slammed her book shut, stood up abruptly, and walked a few steps to Koshimura Sawa’s desk.
"...But in the end, we still won by having Lao Ba steal the tower. I told you this is a tower-pushing game, no matter how fed the AD carry is..." Yue Cunze stopped the discussion, looked up at her, "What's wrong, Aine?"
Was it all just a game?!
Does that mean I spent ages fighting against thin air?
Chihaya Aine's imposing aura deflated instantly like a punctured balloon. She took a half-step back, offering an awkward smile, and waved her hands futilely, "Ah, haha... n-nothing..."
She quickly turned around, rummaged through her bag, took out a small blue bottle, unscrewed the cap, and presented it to Yuecunze with both hands.
"Um—you look really sleepy! This! This is a potion that can refresh and relieve fatigue! It works really well! You should try it!" she said quickly.
"Oh, thank you..." Koshimura was already so sleepy he was a little delirious. Without thinking much, he took the bottle that looked a bit like a marble soda, poured a little into his mouth, and smacked his lips. "...Why doesn't it taste like anything?"
"Um...that..." Chihaya Aine blinked, stammering, "...it seems to be...for external use?"
Koshimura Sawa: "......"
Upon hearing this, he looked down at the mischievous purple cat head logo on the bottle.
【Bailong Fengyoujing】
Made from pure white dragon blood extract, it's refreshingly cool, invigorating, and has a powerful and long-lasting effect!
[Proudly produced by Miaomeng Home Furnishing Workshop]
......
Teacher DaMiao, isn't your scope of expertise a bit too broad?!
"Water..." He took a deep breath, then suddenly stretched out his hand, "Quick, give me some hot water..."
------
"So who on earth would think of using white dragon blood extract to make medicated oil...?" Koshimura Sawa opened his mouth, exhaling a breath of cold white mist, "and even specially made the bottle that shape..."
He now only has the feeling of when he was a child, he didn't believe in superstitions and insisted on licking the iron railings outside with his tongue in winter and sticking them to them.
This stuff is like liquid nitrogen ice cream; it feels a little numb when you first put it in your mouth, but you don't really feel anything.
Once the temperature returned to normal, that sour and astringent smell, mixed with cheap artificial fragrance, immediately surged up and hit him right in the head.
That was incredibly refreshing.
“I’m sorry, Sawarin… I should have told you first…” Chihaya Aine clasped her hands together, looking at him apologetically, but then couldn’t help saying, “But don’t you think… it’s cool that just a little bit can refresh you and give you resistance to freezing damage at the same time?”
"Not at all." Koshimura Sawa unscrewed the metal thermos with a blank expression and took a large gulp of hot water. "But it certainly lasts a long time..."
He attended classes all day and didn't feel sleepy at all. He just had to carry a thermos with him at all times and take a sip of hot water every few minutes. He would also exhale white steam whenever he opened his mouth.
Now you can cosplay as a top-tier cosplayer without buying a Rexton 5.
"Many of the products recommended by Meow Dream Workshop are indeed a bit... well... unique," Chihaya Aine tried to salvage some of her image, "but most of them are quite useful, and most importantly, they're cheap and come in large quantities!"
I apologize, but I will refrain from making any comments before Miaomeng Qin Gongfang goes bankrupt.
“But it seems like the time is almost up,” Chihaya Aine took out her phone and glanced at it. “The effects should be almost over, so we don’t need to drink hot water anymore.”
“Indeed.” Yuecun Ze put the thermos into his bag and felt it.
His tongue has gone from feeling numb and frozen at the beginning to feeling like he's eaten ten tubes of mint toothpaste.
But the strawberry-flavored toothpaste is definitely the best.
【No, you actually ate it?】
The two stopped talking. Yuecunze looked up and glanced at the familiar sign in front of him—RiNG.
"Back in this place again..." he sighed.
"Speaking of which," he turned to look at Chihaya Aine beside him, "I came here because I have something I wanted to ask you. What are you here for again?"
"I was practicing the [Dagger Cloud] technique I just learned yesterday," Chihaya Aine replied matter-of-factly. "Oh, right! Speaking of which... I even called you yesterday to ask why you didn't return my calls?"
"No, I checked, there was no Cloud of Daggers in yesterday's assignment at all." Yuecunze looked puzzled. "Aren't we still having a first-year general education class? How come they're teaching second-ring spells?"
"Then...can't I learn it on my own?" Chihaya Aine said somewhat guiltily.
“...Okay.” Koshimura nodded, then explained, “But later I sent you several Line messages, and you didn’t reply, so I called you directly. It seemed like it was...your mother who answered? She asked me what our relationship was, what my occupation was, what level I was, and she said ‘good luck’ in a very happy tone, and then hung up.”
"Huh?!!" Chihaya Aine covered her mouth in surprise.
Oh no! She seems to have left her phone on the living room table when she went to change into that outfit!
And...and she even changed his contact name to...
--Boy friend.
No wonder my mother reacted that way back then.
A. "Do you think...your mom might have feelings for me?"
B. "Actually... I like big ones."
[C. "I come from London~ (omitted)"]
“Aine.”
Chihaya Aine noticed that Koshimura Sawa was suddenly staring at her with intense focus, so she quickly straightened up and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
“Actually… I like big ones,” Koshimura Sawa said. “So…”
...It seems I was overthinking it; I couldn't expect him to say anything normal.
"Haha, just kidding... Wait, why did you take out the guitar?"
Chapter Eleven: Randomly Spawning Wildcats
Shiina Riki sat behind the bar at RiNG, carefully wiping the longsword resting on her lap with a soft cloth.
Maintaining weapons is a professional's daily task. Even though there are specialized musical instrument shops that offer repair and maintenance services, she still completes them very carefully every time.
Shiina Tatsuki removed the soft cloth from the "maki" inscription on the sword, paused slightly, and sighed.
When... will I be able to own my own sword...?
Just then, a lively voice suddenly came from afar.
"Rikki, I'm here~"
Shiina Tatsuki's brows furrowed instantly, and she replied irritably, "I told you not to call me that name anymore..."
She looked up and saw the familiar figure following behind Chihaya Aine. Her words stopped abruptly, her face visibly darkened, and her tone became harsh: "Why are you here?"
A. "Should I leave?"
[B. "I wanted to see you, so I came."]
[C. "You actually turned away a customer upon arrival! I'm going to file a complaint against you."]
"Since I wanted to see you, I came." Koshimura Sawa said without changing his expression.
