As if she was really scared, Ruth's voice trembled, as if she was forced to sit on three stacked chairs due to her fear of heights, and she spoke with some annoyance.

"Theoretically, it seems that it is not impossible. After all, time travel is real. I guess there is no shortage of such things in the world of novels and anime."

Ji Hui muttered subconsciously, then shook his head and asked.

"But when I saw you come out of the shower, didn't you look refreshed?"

"How can a bathtub be the same? Of course, a small amount of running water is fine, but a large amount of running water that can drown people is not a good option."

Ruth put her free hand on her waist and said with an unhappy look on her face, which made Ji Hui seem to think of something and his expression suddenly became strange.

"Wait a minute, didn't you say you were wandering in the wild for a long time? How do you take a shower then?"

"No."

Ruth said as a matter of course, which made the weirdness on Ji Hui's face even deeper.

"You're kidding! You'd be better off killing me if I were to bathe in a flowing river like that. I'd rather not bathe for twenty years than bathe in a large stream of water. Why are you two standing so far away from me? I was just making an analogy! Anyway, I'm not afraid to bathe once every ten years, unless I accidentally oversleep or something."

"You're so dirty!"

Ji Hui said angrily, causing Ruth to respond angrily.

"So what can I do? I just can't handle large amounts of running water. And I'm not in a position to be hunted by magical girls in the wild. So I can only hold it in, right?"

"Also, haven't I been showering every day since I moved into the shrine? Stop acting like I'm dirty, okay?"

"Also, I see a lot of people online are still asking for older women's shoes and socks. I just want to sell off my old set of shoes, socks, clothes, etc."

"Take that idea back! Those guys aren't good people!"

Jiu suddenly realized what she said and Chizuru Yuzen screamed, which scared Ruth.

"I'll help you change it if you want, but don't sell me that kind of stuff online!"

She now finally knew what Ruth was trying to do by fiddling with her phone recently. She didn't intend to have a bunch of perverts who were drooling over women's dirty clothes, especially the dirty clothes of the lower class, appear in her phone out of nowhere.

“I think the price is quite high.”

Ruth muttered softly, but under the oppressive glare of Chizuru Hazen, she had no choice but to give in and raised her hands.

"I know, I know, I won't do that, okay?"

After her assurance, Chizuru Hazen finally nodded slightly, but she also gave a reminder with some concern.

"Also, take a shower every day from now on!"

"Don't worry, I didn't have the conditions before. Now if I had the conditions, I would naturally like to wash it clean."

Ruth waved her hand and then sighed.

"You modern people really live too comfortably. In the past, it was common for adventurous wanderers to not shower for a week or two. Back then, there were still many people who liked to find such wandering women."

"Alright, alright, can you please stop talking about those ancient perverts?"

Ji Hui interrupted her somewhat unbearably and then sighed.

"So, what happens if you come into contact with a lot of running water? Do you get hurt or something? I really need to be a little careful about this."

"what?"

However, Ruth just blinked.

"It won't hurt."

Her words also made Ji Hui stunned for a moment.

"Wait a minute, there won't be any injuries or other consequences, so what are you afraid of?"

"There's no other reason. I just can't stand soaking in a lot of running water. Is that okay?"

Ruth said as a matter of course, pointing at Ji Hui.

"Just like people who are used to sitting on the toilet refuse to accept dry toilets, we vampires just don't like soaking in running water. This is an obsessive-compulsive disorder of our race. Is that okay?"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I shouldn't have brought up this topic, so stop using such disgusting metaphors."

Her words gave Ji Hui goosebumps, and he quickly spoke.

If she continues to say this, I will probably have a psychological trauma about swimming in the river for the rest of my life.

Chapter 137: Gains and Losses

No matter how strongly Ruth objected, it was impossible for her to spend a huge amount of money to demolish the beautiful pool that she had built with great effort just because of her words.

So Ruth, who had no choice but to pout, tiptoed on her lace socks, and carefully walked around in a big circle before dragging her suitcase and following Ji Hui and Yu Ran Chizuru into the main hall.

"It might be a little longer before things arrive in the private rooms, so if you want to have some fun or something, come to the main hall here first."

Pointing to the living room where a sofa, coffee table and a large wall-mounted display screen were already set up, Ji Hui also spoke.

"Wow, it's much more impressive than the one at Chizuru's."

"After all, it's a large public facility, so it's definitely different."

Looking at Ruth who was amazed like a little child like Hanezame Kana, Ji Hui also shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Your room is on the second floor. Just pick any one. It looks like we're the only two people living in the entire building right now."

"The whole building?"

Yu Ran Chizuru blinked, then seemed to think of something and immediately asked Ji Hui.

"By the way, Ji Hui, it would take quite a while just to clean up such a big house every day, right? Are you planning to hire a cleaner or?"

"Ah? Isn't Ruth here?"

Ji Hui said this as a matter of course, which made Ruth, who was carrying her luggage excitedly upstairs, suddenly stunned and turned her head away stupidly.

"What?"

"What, what, what? You don't think you can live in such a big house without having to do anything, do you?"

"Coco, didn't you say this place is a sanctuary or something, to accommodate demons like us who want to live in peace?"

Ruth said dryly, causing Ji Hui to shrug.

"Yeah, but I didn't say it was free. You either pay money or work hard, but you're just thinking of sitting back and enjoying the fruits of your labor without putting in any effort. How could such a good thing happen? Not to mention that I'm also responsible for fending off the magical girls when they attack."

"Why? You don't really think you can get free food and drinks just by living here, do you?"

Looking at the dumbfounded Ruth, Ji Hui also tilted his head and asked.

"Well, I thought about it and I think I'm pretty comfortable living at Chizuru's place. Why don't I stay at the shrine longer?"

Ruth, who had come to her senses, said this awkwardly, but Chizuru Hazen just shook her head slightly.

"Ruth, I think I've invited you to stay in our home long enough, so it's time for you to go and find a new life for yourself."

She wished Ruth would just run away and stay away. How could she let her come back in a bad mood and continue to harass her?

"Okay, I understand."

After hearing what Chizuru Hazen said, Ruth could only sigh and speak bitterly.

“Is it not okay for me to choose to work?”

"Then please take good care of me in the future."

Ji Hui waved his hand with a smile, causing Ruth to glare at him in annoyance.

Of course, she knew in her heart that if she really refused, she would just continue her previous wandering life.

Now that there is a place that will accept her and take the initiative to serve as a layer of protection, and she has companions who can fight against magical girls, she is so happy that she can't wait to accept it. Naturally, she will not refuse.

What's more, she was not stupid enough to regard Ji Hui's help as a free gift, so she honestly chose to help with the work and contribute to this shelter which was not yet worthy of its name.

After all, she really just paid the money and didn't care about anything else. Seeing Ji Hui, a young man who was considered a junior, busying around all the time, she felt a little guilty.

"But, I have to remind you that other demons may be used to wandering, and they may not be as rich as me to pay the rent."

"Don't worry, I understand all this."

Ji Hui waved his hand and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"All I need is a way to avoid being taken advantage of. I'll naturally have the necessary protection, but I also don't want those demons to think I'm a freeloader who can get anything for free."

"If you want a peaceful life, you can, provided you're willing to put in the effort. If you can't help yourself and still want to enjoy life through the efforts of others, you're no different from a magical girl who does whatever she wants based on her GPA."

"Don't worry, I have plenty of experience in this area. After all, I was originally from an orphanage."

He said confidently, making Ruth nod before flapping his wings again and flying towards the second floor.

"Okay, I'll go upstairs and put my things away."

And Yuzen Kana looked at Ji Hui, then at Yuzen Chizuru, and after rolling her eyes slightly, she also said with a smile.

"I'm going to look for Sister Ruth and take a look at the rooms on the second and third floors!"

"Be safe."

Seeing her jumping and skipping upstairs, Chizuru Yuzen couldn't help but remind her.

Ji Hui also sat on the soft sofa. After breathing a sigh of relief, he looked at Chizuru Yuzen who also sat on the sofa with a smile.

"How's it going? Is this house pretty good?"

"It's really good."

Chizuru Hazen, who was relaxing her leg muscles on the soft sofa, also nodded and looked around the entertainment room, which looked a little monotonous but had all the basic facilities.

"But, electricity, water, and other things like work and advice, can you afford it all by yourself?"

"It's actually not that bad. As a facility of Anjian Garden, this place already has its own power supply and solar panels and all that stuff. The water bill is a bit of a hassle, but with Ruth and I alone living here, it's not going to cost that much. After all, judging by how scared she looks, the bathhouse probably won't open for a while. Until then, the bathroom in our house will suffice."

"Is it"

Chizuru Hazen nodded slightly, but she couldn't help muttering in her heart.

There are only two people living here.

"Speaking of which, how are you planning to promote this? You don't have much contact with the demons, so you can't just rely on handing out flyers, right?"

She asked subconsciously, causing Ji Hui to speak after thinking about it.

"As for this, I'm actually thinking of letting things take their own course. After all, if you really capture a large number of demons and say we can take in those who can't survive, people might not believe you."

"Right"

When ordinary people hear about propaganda, they have to wonder whether it is a scam, not to mention the demons that involve life-threatening situations.

"As for Funado Rika, I'm not too sure. It seems like she hasn't been in contact with this place for quite some time. But she knows about the work going on here, so she should come over to check it out soon."

Ji Hui said casually, which made Yu Ran Chizuru's expression become even more weird, and she muttered unconsciously.

"Even the demons living here are girls."

嘀期

However, her tiny voice was drowned out by the sudden ringing of the doorbell.

Chapter 138 Visitor Lu

The doorbell rang?

Ji Hui and Yu Ran Chizuru looked at each other, and saw a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.

They haven't opened yet. Who would come here when the building has just been built?

Could it be that the construction team forgot to mention something to me?

With doubts in his mind, Ji Hui stood up with Yuzen Chizuru and walked to the main entrance.

However, when they opened the door and saw a group of magical girls standing at the door and chattering, both of them couldn't help but look shocked.

"Huh? You're actually here?"

"I was wondering why he wasn't in the cafe, and sure enough, he's here."

"Wow, this place is beautifully decorated."

Their words made Ji Hui react all of a sudden, and he asked with a strange look on his face.

"No, wait, what are you all doing here!?"

"I heard from Feng Yingying that you guys were planning to build a shelter, so we came over to see what was going on!"

The magical girl who was closer to the door spoke, earning the approval of the other magical girls who nodded in agreement.
