Chapter 534 Another Upgrade

"Zi?... Zimei? Zijie? Zimei?"

Walking slowly out of the mirror passage, the boy in black looked around suspiciously.

"Aren't you here? Or is it already hibernating?"

The ancient house built in the gap of the realm exudes a heavy historical atmosphere that rejects all visitors in the dark environment. Many machines, props and books from the outside world are piled up in the house.

This is Yakumo Residence, where the monster Yakumo Zi and her shikigami Yakumo Lan live.

In fact, a closed boundary is an absolute defense that cannot be broken through by conventional means, and a gate that can travel to another cosmic plane is not enough to break through the common sense of the boundary.

——Because the gap in the realm is a place that does not exist in this world, it is a hidden place between the tenth dimension and the No.11 dimension.

But Mu Xiu is an exception, he has the right to franchise.

In her residence, Yakumo Zi left a space marker for the boy to locate.As long as the "door" technique is used and the beacons are accurately connected, they can echo each other and directly open the passage into Yakumoju.

Just like it is now.

It's just that it seems that I came at the wrong time? !

Slightly spreading the range of perception, Mu Xiu walked out from the current position in his own room.He could sense the aura of Yakumo Zi and Yakumo Lan, but the fluctuation of the former's breath became very quiet and long at this time.

Just like falling asleep, the physiological function will naturally be much lower than when waking up.

In addition, the other party didn't notice that he came over, so Mu Xiu felt that Yakumo Zi should have started to hibernate again at this time.After all, the flow of time in this world is uncertain, and it never seems to be constant.

Mu Xiu even suspects that the peculiar relationship between Mei Li in his own world and Yakumo Zi, which is like Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, is the key to the ratio of time flow between the two planes.

It's a pity that neither of the two objects is something he can study at will.

So no matter how curious you are, Mu Xiu still restrained his curiosity very well, and didn't have any thoughts that shouldn't be there.

Even Mei Li, a human from the main world plane, has no intention of actively interfering, but just keeps a certain limit of attention to ensure that there will be no accidents.

"There is an extra breath reaction, it should be orange? Sure enough...so how long has it been!"

Walk out of the room and walk along the corridor. When Mu Xiu turned the corner, he saw a cute cat girl Loli appeared at the end of the corridor in front of him.

She was wearing a red dress jacket with gold trim and white hem.Has brown hair and brown eyes, black cat ears and a small gold earring on the left ear.There are two brown and black tails behind, but the tip of the tail is white.

In addition, on the top of the head is wearing a soft hat that should be very popular in Gensokyo, which looks very cute and cute...

It's a pity it's green, which is a bit too sad a color for a hat.

Mu Xiu thought regretfully, and walked forward without stopping. By the way, he was still wondering how long it had been since he left this world last time. This time, even Orange had joined Yakumo big family?

The cat girl Lolita is also a shikigami, but Yakumolan's shikigami, that is, a shikigami.

It looks very smart, but in fact it is only as smart as a human child.And very mischievous, he is very affectionate to his master Lan, and very respectful to Zi.

Her name is the word "Orange"——

As always, she inherited the Yakumo lineage's good tradition of naming based on color, and she will not be given the surname "Yakumo" until she can be alone.

However, it is estimated that there is still a long time before the arrival of that day. For example, the cat girl Lolita on the opposite side has already noticed the approaching Mu Xiu. Her two ears moved obviously, and the two tails behind her were restless. swayed up.

The most important thing is that the nail that popped out suddenly flashed a cold light in the dark environment.

It seems that it's because she doesn't know Mu Xiu and regards him as an intruder with malicious intentions?

In addition, Mu Xiu has never liked domineering coercion, nor is he willing to show a hidden and oppressive aura. Most of the time, he just restrains his breath and looks flat, and if he is not careful, people will ignore it.

And if people notice him, they will always feel that he is just an ordinary guy, there is nothing worthy of special attention, at least it will not make people feel that there is any threat.

The cat girl Lolita is obviously like this, her eyes are very vigilant looking at Mu Xiu who is gradually approaching, but the expression on her face is like a kitten seeing a ball of wool, and her curiosity and interest are instantly bursting.

The next moment, she hit the ground on all fours, accelerated her run, jumped high, stretched out her sharp claws and pounced on the boy's face.

Immediately afterwards, it was gently bounced back by a gentle force, flying upside down a distance of more than ten meters.

After all, it is just a monster cat. Except for the two cat tails that look extremely talented, other aspects of its abilities are just the standard among monsters, with incomparable agility and great strength.

Ordinary people can't resist, but it's not enough to threaten people with real power, and it's not enough to make real monsters care.

But because it was a monster cat, besides the panic at the beginning, she quickly controlled her body instinctively, turned around in the air and finally landed gracefully, silently.

only--

"Orange!! Who attacked you?!"

At the end of the corridor next to it, there was a piercing soprano voice, followed by the sound of running barefoot on the floor.Not only the cat girl Loli was taken aback as if her fur had exploded, but even Mu Xiu couldn't help shrinking his neck because of that howl.

He turned his head subconsciously, and then suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief.

"See no evil, Xiu-chan—"

Then, a pair of soft white jade hands gently stretched out behind him, covering the boy's eyes just right, and there was a soft, sweet and frightening voice in his ear, and at the same time, a burst of heat came.

"..."

"..."

"I didn't see anything! Sorry!"

Aware of the obvious emotion hidden in the familiar voice of the monster girl, Mu Xiu, who realized what he saw, immediately denied it and apologized along the way.

Regardless of whether the other party believes it or not or whether what you say is credible or not, anyway, first state your position first.

……

……

10 minute later.

"Well, I'm sorry, it's all my fault...but I really didn't know in advance." Mu Xiu, who thought he was wrong, could only apologize repeatedly in a low voice, accepting the scorn of the girls.

However, Yakumo Zi, who hid her body under the quilt and only showed half of her face, didn't seem to believe what he said, her gaze was still in contempt mode, and her expression was also annoyed——

"You still want to deny it now? Are you going to deny it after eating it all?"

"Didn't go to eat at all, okay? And how did I know that such a thing would happen... just come here as usual."

Mu Xiu pretended nothing happened, and explained what happened just now as calmly as possible.

"And I only sensed Lan's aura and specific location, but I didn't even know that she wasn't wearing clothes... Ahem, you should understand, Zi."

"..."

At this time, Yakumo Lan next to her had already put on her clothes, but her face was flushed, and she seemed to be steaming after hearing what Mu Xiu said.

"Master Lan..."

Catgirl Loli twitched a few times in her arms a little restlessly, turned over, and then rubbed against her master curiously, as if she didn't understand why the fox girl had such a strange complexion, so red and hot.

"Hmph, if you could have exposed your existence from the very beginning, wouldn't such a thing have happened? It is precisely because you restrained your breath that Lan didn't even have time to react..."

Yakumo Zi's accusation is also very ingenious. After all, it is not unfair to say that she came here for peeping, right?
"This..." Mu Xiu was at a loss for words.

"But I really can't completely blame you. Lan is also because of too much pressure recently. She complained before that human clothes are too unfriendly to creatures with nine tails, and the little thing like Orange is not worrying... "

For some unknown reason, the big monster of the realm rolled his eyes, and then seemed to think of something, and spoke naturally as if chatting, with teasing eyes.

"During this period of time, she often runs naked at home to relieve stress. Anyway, there are no outsiders at home, but this time you just happened to meet..."

"Zi... my lord, please don't talk nonsense on this—"

The fox girl, whose face was so red that it was burning hot, widened her eyes and let out a cry of lack of confidence.

"So that's the case, I just said it, but the pressure to make Lan Du lose his composure is incredible..." Mu Xiu looked at Yakumo Lan with a very strange look, and then seemed to understand something nodded.

That's right, the legend about the naked sky fox is really not groundless!
"That's not the case, Master Mu Xiu, and don't have strange respect for pressure!" Yakumolan finally broke down, and walked away holding the cat girl Lori who didn't know anything.

With the sound of the door being closed, only Mu Xiu and Zi were left staring at each other in the room.

"..."

"..."

"Speaking of which, I thought that when you came back this time, you would appear in front of me as a god, but why doesn't it seem that you haven't changed much?"

After a while of silence, Zi Yakumo stretched vigorously under the quilt, exposing her beautiful figure, and nestled under the quilt a few seconds later.

"How can it be so exaggerated, have I been away for a long time?" Mu Xiu covered his face, the impression he left on the other party can't be so bad, right?
"It's not a long time, maybe more than four years or less than five years..."

The monster girl said lightly, and the flat tone combined with the content of the words fully expressed the long-lived species' indifference to the concept of time.

"And wasn't it always like this before, every time we met, when you reappeared in front of me, it was like riding a rocket, and the level of "BIU" rose by one level..."

There seemed to be some resentment in her voice, probably because she was quite concerned about entanglement with this matter.

"..."

"..."

"Why don't you talk? Don't you even understand words to comfort others?"

Pulling down the quilt slightly, the girl exposed her eyes and looked at Mu Xiu with some dissatisfaction.

"Because I don't know what to say—" Mu Xiu said hesitantly.

"I'm here this time to ask you about the power of the realm. I think I may have to upgrade again next time. If the development direction of the space field is "realm", then... er, purple? "

Before she finished speaking, Yakumo Zi lowered her face and pulled up the quilt, covering her eyes, only her forehead and golden hair were exposed.

How should I put it, it's completely a feeling of "I'm angry, I can't be coaxed well".

Grinning at the corner of his mouth, Mu Xiu sighed, "Don't worry... I won't abandon you, I promise."

"...How can you guarantee this kind of thing?" With her head completely buried in the quilt, like an ostrich, the monster girl made a muffled voice, "Could it be possible to sign a contract?"

"..."

"..."

The word "signing a contract" is a bit subtle in this matter, and Mu Xiu couldn't help but have some strange thoughts, such as thinking of getting married?

No, no, not this!Mu Xiu shook his head quickly, denying this dangerous idea wholeheartedly.

——If you get married, won't you be bound by the law?
