Traveling through time? You can reach another world as soon as you leave your house

"Is this okay?"

Thor, who was following beside him, looked at the potatoes, green onions and tofu in the bag in Lu Ren's hand and couldn't help but tilt his head: "You eat really little for lunch."

"Because there's a big piece of meat waiting for me to stew at home."

Lu Ren glanced at the other person.

"And I'm quite surprised, Ms. Thor. I thought you would look down on humans, but it turns out that you were able to build good relationships with the people on this street so quickly."

"Eh, is there?"

Hearing this, Thor was stunned.

"I don't have a good relationship with them. It's just based on my previous experience of buying things at the Guild Market. As long as I'm a little friendly to others, they will be friendly to me in return."

"...Uh, it seems that you really don't understand human emotions."

"I am a dragon after all."

Looking at the maid Miss Long who was standing with her hands on her hips with a smug look on her face, Lu Ren raised his eyebrows slightly but didn't say anything.

After all, he felt that only Xiaolin could help the other party gain this knowledge.

Other than that, no one else can.

"Then let's go back to the apartment. After all, we've bought groceries and walked around the neighborhood. Of course, if you want to walk around by yourself, that's fine too. But please don't hit anyone casually. After all, this is a civilized society."

Lu Ren lifted the bag in his hand and wondered whether he should buy some snacks on the way back.

After all, all the snacks at home were eaten by Rimuru and Milim as midnight snacks along with the barbecue while they were watching a movie last night.

If that’s the case, won’t they have no snacks to eat when they come to my house to play next time?

That won't work.

Lu Ren thought so in his heart.

"Really? Don't make me sound like some irrational, vicious creature. I only attack people who offend me."

Thor folded his arms and pouted, it seemed that he had no plans to continue strolling for the time being.

In other words, instead of going shopping, she now wanted to go back and try to help Xiaolin clean the house and do some housework.

Although she had never encountered such a thing before, she did it for the sake of her beloved Xiaolin.

She is willing to learn.

"...Well, just remember to be careful."

Lu Ren said helplessly.

He felt that his apartment and daily life would become more lively in the future.

After all, even the legendary dragon came to live here.

This is such a wonderful fate~

Lu Ren felt emotional.

And just then.

They just happened to return to the intersection they had passed before, and the traffic light was still red, stopping the two of them.

But it’s nothing, just wait a few more seconds.

What caught Lu Ren's attention was a familiar figure waiting at the edge of the zebra crossing.

She was a beautiful girl who was as delicate and cute as a doll, wearing a black Gothic Lolita outfit, an elegant little hat, and reddish-brown twin ponytails.

He was holding a small sunshade umbrella in his hand, looking like a middle school student with a second-year syndrome.

And when he noticed the sight and turned his head in confusion, he could see that the other person was wearing a white left eye patch, while his right eye was as clear and dreamy as a ruby.

There is no doubt that as long as she takes off her blindfold, she will be a rare super beauty in the world.

"Landlord? What a coincidence! Are you going home after buying groceries?"

I saw a familiar-looking man walking towards me.

After a moment of hesitation, Garden Lily Bell waved her fair little hand and greeted them with a clear, sweet voice.

That's right, she is also a tenant of an apartment building.

And she is a female college student living in Room 204.

Although judging from her height of only 1.6 meters and her overly young and delicate face, she looks like a legal loli who is not yet an adult middle school student.

"Yes, I just came out of the commercial street and was about to go back to cook. Miss Lily Ling, how about you, have you eaten?"

Lu Ren raised the bag of food in his hand as a response, and walked to the other person's side to wait for the red light together.

"I've eaten. I just had a bowl of ramen and I'm about to go back to the apartment."

Garden Lily Bell nodded politely, having long been accustomed to her landlord's opening greeting about whether he had eaten there before.

Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she raised her hand and held up an old-looking book with an extremely complicated magic circle printed on the cover.

And waved it gently as if to show off.

"Landlord, look, this is a magic book I bought from a used bookstore after lunch. It looks like it can be used to summon demons. I want to take it back and try it out."

As she said this, she smiled cutely, looking very expectant.

I didn't realize at all how childish what I said sounded to ordinary people.

However, Lu Ren's eyes twitched slightly.

"Um, I see..."

He looked down in silence at the old book in the other person's hand.

Well, this thing is the real thing.

After all, he felt an aura from this book that was similar to Princess Qiye's forbidden magic book, so there was no doubt that it could really summon something.

But this is the everyday world, right?

Why can I buy such a rare treasure in a roadside second-hand bookstore? !

It's just a little bit outrageous.

Although as a time traveler, he has no right to say such things.

But it still feels outrageous.

Just as Lu Ren was struggling, Huayuan Lily Ling also noticed the dragon maid following him.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

She blinked and tilted her head cutely.

Then I got an answer that made me a little confused.

"Hello, I'm a new member who just moved into the apartment today. I'm Xiaolin's exclusive maid."

Thor responded with a proud smile on his face.

"...maid?"

"Well, since Xiaolin is my master, I belong to Xiaolin with all my heart and soul!"

“I see. I see.”

Garden Lily Bell nodded in a silly manner.

Obviously she didn't understand the situation of the person in front of her.

However, Thor was looking at the cute girl in front of him who looked like a doll with curiosity.

Because she is a giant dragon, she can feel that there is a very strong power hidden in the other person's body, and she is obviously not an ordinary person.

So she couldn't help but glance at the landlord beside her in silence.

Is this the ordinary everyday world you were talking about?

This is not the way to trick a dragon!

She is 50,000 years old and is no longer the easily fooled young dragon she once was.

In response, Lu Ren turned his face away silently, indicating that he didn't want to talk. After all, for this kind of thing...

There’s nothing he can do┐(?～?)┌.

Fortunately, just when the atmosphere was awkward, the traffic light at the intersection turned green, so the three people who met by chance continued to move forward.

But not long after, the routes diverged.

"Hey, Miss Lily Ling, aren't you going back to the apartment?"

When passing another intersection, I saw the Gothic Lolita holding a small umbrella next to me suddenly drift and turn left.

Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled.

"Landlord, I'm going to buy some ice cream before I go back. It's in the store in front. Do you want to join us?"

Garden Lily Bell turned around, blinked, and said something polite.

When Lu Ren saw this, he wanted to decline and leave first. After all, he had to hurry home to cook, and it was not good to eat ice cream before a meal.

But at this moment, the dragon maid who was following behind him suddenly reached out and gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.

“What is ice cream?”

Thor asked curiously, his red-gold vertical pupils still glowing with a faint light.

"Just a dessert... Interested?"

"Yeah, I'm a little curious."

Thor nodded obediently. "It sounds like food made of ice. There is no such thing where I come from."

"Well, I'll treat you to a meal."

Lu Ren looked down speechlessly. The other party's hands were tightly grasping the corner of his clothes. He also understood that this dragon maid did not give him the option to refuse.

Although he doesn't mind.

So, a few minutes later.

In front of a busy ice cream shop.

Thor, who was sitting on a bench by the roadside, looked at the ice cream cone in his hand with his pupils slightly dilated and an expression of surprise.

"Butter, egg yolks, sugar, cocoa powder... a lot of different ingredients are used. If Eluma sees this, she will be very happy, right?"

She stuck out her pink little tongue and tried to lick it.

Thor muttered something to himself as a smile appeared on his face.

She was thinking of a guy who she didn't know if he was a friend or not. He was just a complete idiot and a foodie, but they had fallen out a long time ago...

Thor was recalling something in his mind, but his little tongue did not stop licking.

Because this food called ice cream is really delicious.

There are also two ice cream balls on the cone, one strawberry flavor and one chocolate flavor, making the taste more diverse.

“It’s cool and delicious~”

Garden Lily Bell, who was sitting nearby, also had a soft and delicious expression on her face.

She was eating vanilla ice cream and looked obviously very satisfied.

However, the landlord standing in front of them had a rather dark face.

"Why should I treat you? And in the end, there's not even a seat to sit at."

Lu Ren folded his arms in silence, holding a mint-flavored popsicle in his mouth, and it was unclear if he was hinting at something.

"Because after I bought that magic book, I didn't have enough money to buy ice cream, so I can only ask you, the landlord, for help, OVO."

Eat people with soft mouths and take soft hands with others.

Garden Lily Bell, who was not a very cheerful person, now showed a very cute and adorable smile, and squeezed towards Thor to make a space.

"Landlord, do you want to sit together?"
