I loaded the dream game

"That's true...but I didn't expect your taste to be so unique."

"Eh? Aren't we eating together?"

"...Can you help me cut the minced meat and green onions? I'll take care of this."

"Just leave it to me. My knife skills are top-notch."

"..."

Listening to the conversation between the two people coming from the kitchen, the girl sat at the dining table with her hands on her knees, silently looking at the empty table in front of her. Her legs under the table were shaking slightly unconsciously. No one knew what "093" was thinking.

After a long while, she finally spoke softly: "Alastair..."

"Um……"

The pendant on the girl's chest made a steady sound.

It was a dark sphere the size of a fingertip, tied with a silver chain, with two golden rings crossing around it. It looked like a fine work of art, or some kind of sophisticated instrument.

Judging from its function alone, this pendant named "Kakutus" is more like some kind of communicator, used to convey the will of the demon god residing in the girl's body.

"That boy, although his true identity is not clear at the moment, seems to have no ill will towards you."

"You don't even know Alastair?" There was a hint of doubt in the girl's voice.

Judging from the battle just now, although she was very unwilling, she had to admit that the boy's strength was indeed much stronger than hers. Logically speaking, a powerful apostle like the boy should have been well-known in the Red World.

however……

"Unfortunately, I have never heard of such a person." Alastair replied.

"Really..." The girl fell silent.

He acted deliberately provocatively, intentionally luring the Fire Mist Warriors to his door, but he held back in the battle with them, and even the "Zhidian Zana" that was taken away from him was returned in the end... It was impossible to guess what his purpose was.

"Anyway, let's just wait and see what happens," Alastair suggested.

The girl nodded slightly and looked up, only to see a bowl of hot noodle soup being brought in front of her.

"...Huh?" She was slightly stunned.

"Why are you standing there? Eat it while it's hot." After Xia Zhi handed her the chopsticks, he sat down opposite the girl with his own noodles.

"..." Looking at the steaming noodle soup in front of her, the girl tilted her head slightly.

...So I am involved too?

"We can't just eat here together and leave you alone watching, right?"

Xia Zhi looked at her strangely and spoke vaguely.

Because it was already evening, I couldn't buy much food, so I had to use noodles to make it. But I have to say, it tasted pretty good.

He nodded with satisfaction.

"It would be very disrespectful to let a guest go hungry when she comes to visit." Yang Nai simply translated Xia Zhi's words and embellished them a little. She looked at the girl and said with a smile, "Okay, don't just stand there. Come and taste my sister's cooking."

"..."

She was clearly an "enemy" just now, but now he seems to treat her as a "guest" without any hesitation...

What a pair of strange guys...

The girl thought silently in her heart, and after hesitating for a moment, she tried to pick up a small bunch of noodles, blew on it twice, and put it into her mouth.

The next moment, her eyes lit up immediately.

"good to eat……"

"Hmph~"

Hearing the girl's uncontrollable praise, Yang No also held her face with both hands, rested her elbows on the table, looked at her with a smile and said:

"Really? It seems like my skills haven't deteriorated at all."

"I should also have one third of the credit, right?" Xia Zhi said that he also contributed.

"Let me think about it... one third might be a bit much, but... if you want, I don't mind giving you all the credit."

Yang Nai blinked and looked at Xia Zhi and said.

"Then forget it..."

Xia Zhi still has a clear understanding of how much he has done. ........

"..."

While the two were talking, the girl had already finished all the noodles in the bowl, picked up the bowl and drank up the soup, then put the bowl down, raised her head again and looked at Xia Zhi with a serious face and said:

"Unknown Apostle..."

"Just call me Xia Zhi." Xia Zhi waved his hand to interrupt.

"…Summer Solstice?"

"I've never heard of the name of a demon king..." the voice in the pendant continued.

"So I said, I'm not an apostle of the Red World." Xia Zhi thought for a moment and continued to explain: "The apostle you are looking for should have been killed by me in the morning."

"..."

So that’s how it is. Is that the explanation?

Alastair thought to himself.

If this is the case, it can indeed explain his previous contradictions and abnormal behavior, and why he had no ill will towards the Fire Mist Warrior... because he and the apostle who extracted existence and distorted the world that he had noticed before were completely two different people.

But there is another problem here...

"If you are not a Red World Apostle, then who are you with that level of power?"

"Well..."

Xia Zhi subconsciously wanted to answer that he was a human being, but then he changed his mind and thought that from the other person's perspective, this answer seemed unbelievable and would be even more difficult to explain.

So, he thought about it and replied: "To be honest, I am actually a fire mist warrior."

"Eh?" The girl and Alastair were both stunned.

Xia Zhi didn't care about their stunned expression and continued, "Look, I also have a contractor."

As he spoke, he tapped the ring on his right hand and whispered the girl's name:

"Ai Lu Ke, come out and say hello to everyone."

"Uh-huh..."

Not long after the words fell, the girl's sleepy and immature voice came from the ring:

"Good morning, Summer Solstice..."

Chapter 278 "I just wanted to take it out and have a look at it."

The Apostles of the Red World came to the human world because of their own desires. They wantonly "preyed" on humans to gain the power of existence, disrupting the balance of the world.

However, not all "disciples" act according to their own desires.

In order to prevent the distortion of the world from expanding and completely disrupting the balance between the real world and the red world, some powerful "disciples" came up with the idea of ​​​​punishing those who act recklessly.

However, the appearance of "disciples" in the world must consume the power of existence. If the powerful red world demon kings want to come to the world, they need a huge amount of power of existence. If they rely on devouring humans to obtain it, it would be putting the cart before the horse and violate the original purpose.

Therefore, these red world demon kings chose to conclude a contract with humans, providing power to the contractors in order to achieve the goal of conquering their own kind and maintaining balance.

Those who sign a contract with the "disciple" will become the container of the contract object at the cost of their own past, present and future, allowing the powerful "disciple" to reside in their body and gain strength from the other party. The humans who fight against the Red World Apostles who are rampant in the present world are called Fire Mist Warriors.

According to this definition, Xia Zhi, who signed a contract with Ailu and shared everything the girl had, can be regarded as an alternative fire mist warrior to some extent, except that the contract object was changed from the Demon King of the Red World to the Star God Girl of another world.

It's reasonable that I, who come from another world, would have some characteristics of my own, right?

Xia Zhi thought so in his heart, and then corrected Ai Luke:

"It's already night time now."

"Eh? Really?"

Ai Luke was slightly stunned for a moment, then he yawned slightly, and his voice gradually became quieter: "Then... I will continue to sleep..."

Summer Solstice: "..."

You've been sleeping for so many days, and you still want to sleep.

"But, didn't you say, Xia Zhi, that we should sleep well at night?" There was a hint of doubt in Ai Luke's voice.

"Well...it's okay to stay up late occasionally." Xia Zhi replied after thinking about it.

"Is that right?"

"Look, when I came to play with you some time ago, didn't I stay up all night?"

Ailuko thought about it and felt that it seemed to be the case, so he perked up again, and then finally noticed the two strange figures in front of Xia Zhi.

"Huh? Someone I don't know... Xia Zhi's new friend?"

"I guess so." Xia Zhi thought for a moment and answered, then reminded her again: "Say hello to everyone."

"Ok!"

Although I didn't see it, I could imagine that the girl should have nodded vigorously and said in a happy tone:

"Hello, I'm Aluko~"

"Eluko Hawkesden, that's her name." Xia Zhi helped the girl introduce herself.

"...Alastair, do you know her?" The girl lowered her head and looked at the pendant on her chest and asked.

"No... I have never heard of such a demon king." Alastor replied in a deep voice.

"Also, I have never heard of a fire mist warrior named 'Xiazhi' before..."

"Maybe... it's because I just entered the industry and haven't had time to register yet?" Xia Zhi provided them with an idea.

Ai Luke was a little confused: "Fire Mist Warrior...what is that? Are they talking about us?"

"Just think of it as role-playing." Xia Zhi explained after thinking about it.

"Oh..." Ai Luke didn't quite understand, but still nodded cooperatively...even though no one could see it.

"..."

"..."

"……Ugh."

Yang Nai sighed slightly.

Even if it was made up on the spot, at least be careful and cover it up. Such behavior of "colluding in person" in front of the deceived person is more like fooling rather than deceiving.

On the other side, the girl had the same feeling.

——I was fooled.

This was the first thought that came to her mind.

However, before she felt unhappy and angry, she quickly realized that if this man was lying, then what about his power and the demon king named "Eluk"?

Woo... so annoying, what’s wrong with this person?

The girl shook her head irritably.

"Also, what is your relationship with this Mistis?" She raised her head and asked Xia Zhi with a frown.

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned: "What Mistis?"

"It's a special torch that houses a treasure inside... Don't you even know this?" The girl looked at him suspiciously.

Now she suddenly believed that the boy in front of her was a novice. After all, this could be regarded as the most basic common sense. Only a novice who knew nothing and had never been exposed to the existence of the Red World before would not understand these things.

"No... I know a little about this..."

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and continued, "What I want to ask is, who is Mistis you are referring to?"

It can't be me, right? Although he has a lot of strange things on him, they are not the traditional treasures, right?

Not to mention, he had nothing to do with the concept of "torch".
