Talulah, I'm still a child.

"Earn your own money and spend it yourself; a hardworking fox learns to manage the household early, and a happy fox gets married early~"

Humming a pleasant tune, Mei Xue was in an exceptionally good mood. He was always like this; even if he was crying his heart out one second, he might be happily throwing himself into someone's arms the next.

Originium, his sister Su Xue'er, the doctor he trusts most, Mei Xue feels that since he regained six tails, the pace of life has suddenly accelerated. Just as Su Xue'er said, it seems that there is a hand pushing him forward from behind.

However, none of that is what Mei Xue needs to worry about right now. The little fox is actually quite carefree and rarely cares about anything. It's rare for her to take Su Xue'er's matter to heart.

"I wonder what surprises Specter and Skadi have prepared."

Mei Xue gently twirled a strand of hair between her fingers, pondering that she should make proper preparations for her trip to Victoria, and that Theresa's matter needed to be put on the agenda.

According to his agreement with the godmother of Dream Castle, that heavy snow was the best signal. However, the problem is that even the heavy snow that Su Xueer left as a backup plan, which stole Terra's luck, was only given to Mei Xue by the Doctor on the exact date.

The doctor seemed to know everything and foresee everything. Sometimes Mei Xue even doubted that she could see the future on her own without needing the information provided by the little fox.

From this point of view alone, the doctor is indeed suspicious, but Mei Xue still can't muster any wariness towards her. He trusts the doctor from the bottom of his heart. Sometimes Mei Xue himself doubts whether he is not smart, but if the doctor says he is stupid, then he... will probably bite the doctor twice.

"Hey, Meixue, would you like to come in and have a seat? I just baked a cake here."

"Thank you, Sister Blue Poison. Then I won't be polite."

Blue Poison and Mei Xue can be considered friends. The little fox is not afraid of poison and does not keep her distance from Blue Poison because the cakes Blue Poison makes look strange. This makes Blue Poison feel very good about him.

However, Mei Xue remembered that she was going to find Skadi and the others, so after thanking Blue Poison, she took the cake and went over, which was just in time to share the cake with Specter and the others.

"It smells so good! Sister Blue Poison's cooking skills are still amazing. I should learn more from her in the future."

Mei Xue considers herself quite talented when it comes to cooking, especially after her memories returned. Having lived for so long, even Xiao Ke could have learned to cook by now—no, except for Xiao Ke.

The aroma of the cake was really tempting. The little fox looked around. As a good child, it was really wrong to steal a bite, but... eating just one cherry shouldn't be a problem, right?

The little fox's ears twitched, and it lowered its head to gently bite the fresh cherry, completely unaware that a little white cream had gotten on the tip of its nose and ears. Its tail swayed gently, and Mei Xue thought that this kind of cherry with cream on it tasted wonderful.

"The older sisters will definitely love it."

Although I don't know what kind of surprise Specter and Skadi have in store for me, they both said that the little fox will definitely like it, so it must be Kamen Rider!

"Mei Xue, where are you going?"

Just as the little fox continued on his way, he met Wendy walking towards him. She seemed to have just finished her work in the laboratory and was a little tired. The little sea dragon robot beside her floated to the little fox's side and circled around him.

"Let's go find Ghost Shark and the others. Does Wendy want some cake?"

"Oh, thank you, but I'm not very hungry."

Although Wendy really liked Mei Xue, she could tell at a glance that the cake in his hand was made by Blue Poison. Even knowing that Blue Poison's cakes were non-toxic, the appearance still... made it hard to have any desire to eat it.

"Wendy, you need to get some rest. Your health is the most important thing."

"I know, oh, you have cream on your nose."

As someone with severe mysophobia, Wendy has many friends, but Mei Xue is probably the first one she can easily get close to. The little fox's body is free from dust and filth, a physique that Wendy greatly envies.

Wendy reached out and scraped the cream off Mei Xue's nose and the corners of his mouth. She then rubbed his head with her other hand, feeling a sense of relief. Indeed, a rub from Mei Xue brings happiness to life. He truly is Rhodes Island's stress-relieving adorable pet.

"Go on, and remember to go to bed early, that's the only way you can grow taller."

"it is good!"

Watching Mei Xue happily wag her tail and take cheerful little steps forward, humming a little tune, Wendy suddenly felt a sense of unreality. After experiencing such a thing, Mei Xue still faced the world with the most optimistic and positive attitude. This little fox's state of mind was far more insightful than others.

He seemed out of place in this world, yet he was undeniably present among them. When he took the initiative to greet her, Wendy never imagined that she would develop such a friendly relationship with this little fox.

"cream……"

In the past, Wendy, who was a germaphobe, would never have personally wiped the cream off someone's face. But now, after glancing around to make sure no one was watching, she gently put her index finger in her mouth.

The cream spread across her tongue, releasing a sweet flavor. She couldn't help but nod; it seemed Blue Poison's cake-making skills were indeed extraordinary.

"Hello Angelina, would you like some cake?"

"Sister Huang, it's best to drink less alcohol."

"Oh, Shining, how is Liz doing?"

"Sister Ansel...Good evening, brother."

When Mei Xue finally met Ansel, she was a little taken aback. After all, Ansel was so gentle and considerate that he didn't seem like a boy, and he didn't look like one either. Many newcomers to Rhodes Island mistook him for a girl. Mei Xue herself didn't know why, even though she knew that Ansel was a man, she still subconsciously felt that he was suitable to be an older sister.

It is said that when Ansel first came, he was almost assigned to the girls' dormitory and could not find a boy with the "willpower" to live with him. Today, this problem has been solved because Shuiyue has arrived.

(I always feel that Ansel would look even better with long silver hair, and his eyes would be like rubies.)

A strange idea popped into her head unconsciously, and she quickly shook it off. Then she walked a short distance to the door of Specter and Skadi's dormitory. Although she was too busy to use her hands, she still had her tail, so she used it to knock on the door.

"Sister, Meixue is here!"

A series of clattering sounds came from the room, as if someone had tripped and knocked over a shelf. Judging from the sound that made Mei Xue's feet tremble, it was most likely Skadi who had fallen. However, good children shouldn't just enter other people's houses, so the little fox waited for a while.

About three minutes later, the stainless steel door in front of Mei Xue, which had just been replaced, finally opened. Skadi poked her head out and looked at Mei Xue with a hint of shyness in her eyes. It was clear that she had just taken a shower, as she was still wrapped in a towel and her hair was wet.

"Meixue, you're here! Come in quickly."

Compared to Skadi, Specter changed into a black sheer nightgown, the kind that's subtly see-through. It's hard to say in detail, otherwise it wouldn't pass censorship. Mei Xue, however, felt it suited her very well.

"Sister, I brought a cake!"

"Okay, good girl~ Although this cake looks a bit... never mind, come in and sit down."

I don't know what's wrong with it, but even though Blue Poison's cake-making process is always fine and the ingredients she uses are all edible, she still manages to make cakes that look so unappetizing that even Xiao Ke would shut up if he saw them.

However, Ghost Shark wasn't worried that Mei Xue would poison him; the little fox would never do such a thing.

"Your sister Skadi is really something. I told her there was no need to rush to take a bath, since she'll be taking one tomorrow afternoon anyway."

"?"

Mei Xue wasn't very quick-witted and didn't understand for a moment why taking a bath tonight was related to tomorrow afternoon, but she still put the cake down and helped clean up the mess on the floor.

According to Specter, as soon as Skadi heard Mei Xue knocking on the door, she hurriedly rinsed off the soap and ran out. Then, realizing she wasn't wrapped in a towel, she tripped and fell, knocking the shelf over.

"Stop talking..."

Skadi blushed so deeply it was almost painful; it was far too embarrassing for her best friend to tell someone she liked about something like this.

"What are you afraid of? He won't laugh at you. Oh, by the way, you can't be on top tonight. Mei Xue can't handle it."

"Shark, I told you to stop talking."

Blushing and with her head down, Skadi felt a wave of inferiority. She had never imagined that her weight would become such a fatal weakness.

"I think Skadi is great, at least it's comfortable to lean on her."

Seeing that Skadi had an urge to dig up the floor of Rhodes Island, the little fox quickly calmed her down and then lay down in front of her.

With her hands on the sofa and her legs half-kneeling, Skadi looked like a clingy cat. Because her shirt was loose, Skadi could see more of her skin underneath, and she subconsciously had an urge to lick it a couple of times. The thought of what was to come made her even more nervous.

"So, sister, where is Kamen Rider?"

"……what?"

Skadi seemed to have a few question marks popping up above her head. The silly orca didn't understand what Mei Xue meant, but Ghost Shark was quick-witted and immediately realized that Mei Xue had misunderstood them.

Specter originally thought that Mei Xue, being so experienced, should be able to understand such hints, but she didn't expect that this little fox was still so naive and silly. If she and Skadi were to be a couple alone, they would be a silly couple.

"Give me a kiss and I'll tell you."

Pointing to her lips, Ghost Shark's smile was exceptionally alluring. As a quintessential cunning seme, she was happy to tease Mei Xue and watch the little fox blush.

Moreover, she was still bothered by what happened last time, which lasted for several hours. In the end, she said she didn't want to go anymore, but she couldn't resist the little fox's cuteness. It made her stay in bed all day without going out.

"Good~"

It was just a kiss; the little fox had done it many times before. Just now, when she came, Huang, who was drunk, picked her up and kissed her, and she almost got killed by a bear. If she hadn't run away quickly, Huang would have been the one to suffer tonight.

So the little fox kissed Ghost Shark, and then fairly kissed Skadi, who seemed unusually shy tonight.

"I put your favorite Kamen Rider in your bedroom. Come with me, I'll show you this treasure~"

"Mmmmm~"

Mei Xue let Ghost Shark hug her, and Skadi finally calmed down. The three of them went into the bedroom together, and while Mei Xue was peeking out, Skadi turned off the light.

"Did they add lighting effects?"

Just as this thought popped into Mei Xue's head, the little fox suddenly felt herself being thrown out by the ghost shark, landing steadily on the bed and then bouncing up again.

The next moment, Ghost Shark pressed down on him, gently holding Mei Xue's shoulders with both hands.

"...Gulp, sister is lying."

Mei Xue immediately realized what was about to happen, and flicked her tail in frustration. Ghost Shark gently took her ear in its mouth, cleaned the cream off it, and then chuckled as it pinched Mei Xue's ear.

"Then I'll wear it for you next time."

As for now... Ghost Shark suddenly feels that cake with Plum Snow might taste even better, it's worth a try, and it'll be perfect for teasing Skadi later.

Just as Rhodes Island was preparing for a "midnight snack," in a market in Sargon, Aphrodite randomly found a small inn to stay in, removed her veil, sat on the bed, and pondered something alone.

She had indeed been looking forward to meeting Mei Xue, but now she only wished she would never go to him, yet she was already on her way to Rhodes Island.

What should I say when I see Meixue again? Should I tell him what I know?

Is she really... going to do it herself? No, to be honest, can she really bring herself to harm the little fox who saved her life?

"If I could, I really wouldn't want to leave that place."

Having grown accustomed to the life of the Durin, the outside world, still full of intrigue and backstabbing, made Afdokia extremely uncomfortable. Nevertheless, she reached out and picked up the weapon made for her by the Durin. It was a rapid-fire crossbow, but more like a work of art than a weapon.

That's how the Dulin people are; they spent a long time designing this weapon before deciding on its shape, hoping that this crossbow would protect their friends. If possible, Afdokia really didn't want their heartfelt gift to be tainted with bloodshed.

However, that's probably impossible right now.

The moment she picked up her weapon, a glimmer of moonlight suddenly appeared in the pitch-black night—the cold gleam of a sharp dagger, aimed straight at Avdoja's head, seeking a fatal blow.

However, when Avdokia pulled the trigger, the recoil from the fired crossbow bolt made her pull back, raise the crossbow to block the attack, and also see the attacker clearly.

"really……"

It was an assassin wearing a black veil, dressed in night clothes, and appeared to be a member of the Felin tribe.

The assassin from Sargon, a subordinate of Mei Xue, is tasked with killing the man Mei Xue once saved.
