I will never give in to Miss Death

Yin Xiamo, who was holding the big fish, turned around and said, "Oh, there's one more thing."

"what?"

"Philo forgot to leave the milk when he went to the coffee shop this morning. I will bring the bottle with it later."

"..."

……

No. 225 Cats don't eat rabbits

After Yin Xiamo left, the shrine on the open space in the middle of the hill on Yueerlan Island became quiet.

I walked on the soft branches and fallen leaves on the ground and came to the front of the shrine. Looking at the artificial path below leading to the beach, some fragments of memories from my dream seemed to emerge in front of me again.

I always feel... that this situation seems familiar.

On the roadside in front of the shrine, I leaned against an unknown small tree and covered my chest with one hand through my swimsuit.

It’s like... when the husband goes out hunting, taking his weapon with him, his wife looks at his departing back and silently prays in her heart that her lover will return safely.

In front of me is the endless sea, representing danger and unknown, and behind me are the warm and peaceful grove and small house, representing safety and hope.

Although I knew very well that Xiaomo would not be in any danger or trouble during this "outing", and that she was just going back to the coffee shop to let the master there take care of some things, the moment she left me, a strong sense of déjà vu involuntarily called out from the bottom of my heart, making me subconsciously think of this relatively simple "love".

The former brave man... should have said something similar to Xiaomo, right?

Xiaomo was picked up by a brave man. At the beginning, she didn't know any magic and could only rely on the food and protection provided by the brave man to survive.

If I were to regard my current self as the "reincarnation" of a hero, then the relationship between us would be like a cycle of reincarnation.

Love you as you love me.

"..."

shhhhh--

From this angle, you can clearly see Yin Xiamo like the heroine in an anime. She first kept jumping between this path and the surrounding woods, quickly landed on the beach by the coast, and then a gorgeous magic circle lit up under her body. Her small body jumped again and flew towards the sea, leaving a long trail on the sea like a high-speed speedboat. After a while, she jumped over the top of the crater in front of Yueerlan Island and disappeared from my sight.

[Momo, you stay here and behave yourself. I'm going to go out and find something to eat.]

At this moment, I heard someone's mumbling that I had heard in a dream before.

[There are many monsters nearby, please don't make any noise and wait for me to come back quietly, okay? ]

[If you are really bored, just recite the basic pronunciation table of human language that I taught you a few days ago. Your human language is not very standard yet, you need to work harder.]

[One day, you will grow up and become as independent as me. Then we can go hunting together.]

"..."

I kept looking at the place where Yin Xiamo disappeared and stood there for several minutes. After confirming that she had really left, I turned around and stood back on the sheet that I had just spread on the ground.

Although the average temperature on the island in June is lower than that in the city center, places like Yueerlan Island still bring a noticeable amount of heat due to direct sunlight and the sea breeze.

If you are an ordinary person, there is no problem wearing a swimsuit at the beach, because there are almost no trees to provide shade, the sun shines directly down on your head, and there are basically no creatures such as mosquitoes that are afraid of light. However, if you come to a forest halfway up the mountain where I am standing, you may be bitten by various mosquitoes.

However, the physique that Xiaomo gave me solved this problem, so even if I was standing in the woods in a swimsuit, I didn't feel any discomfort. At most, it wasn't as hot as when I was a model at the beach just now.

"Swish..."

As soon as I returned to the open space in front of the shrine, I heard a strange sound of a small animal passing by in the woods next to it.

"Eh?"

I turned my head and looked towards the bushes. The first thing I noticed was a large white fur ball hiding behind the weeds.

"rabbit?"

This shape... is definitely Angora rabbits, and there are several of them!

For some reason, as an uncle, I should have no interest in this kind of small animals, but at this moment I had no resistance to these chubby, long-haired rabbits. I subconsciously trotted over in my slippers, stirring up several fallen leaves.

"Swish..."

Maybe because I made too much noise, the group of little guys hiding in the bushes quickly shrank back and hid in the grass behind, looking at me with their pitiful little eyes.

Eh...did they get scared after all?

I tried to squat down and push aside the bushes -

"Swish..."

Several rabbits retreated a long distance.

Okay... I won’t scare you anymore.

Although it was a pity that I couldn't catch this animal, which Yin Xiamo described as "the second largest animal on the island after the marine iguana", but thinking that I seemed to have the so-called "cat girl" gene and aura in my body, and cats are the "mortal enemies" of rabbits, I stood up and retreated to the side of the "sheet" on the open space.

This place is really suitable for regulating the body.

Glancing around at the mottled branches above my head, I took off my slippers and stepped on the sheets with my bare feet.

"Hey..."

Maybe it was because I had been soaking in the water at the beach for too long, which softened the soles of my feet. I couldn’t adapt to the touch of the flat ground and my delicate soles all of a sudden, and the strange feeling coming from under my feet almost made me fall.

It’s so hot, let’s not change into this swimsuit for now.

Sitting down on the sheets, I lowered my head to look at my chest wrapped in the sky blue swimsuit with ribbons and the cute triangular fat below my belly, and yawned a little on the spot.

The reason why I wanted to come to this island today was, firstly, that I wanted to see Xiaomo’s painting skills, secondly, that I wanted to go to a deserted place to relax, and thirdly, that I wanted to find a small forest where I could get sunshine at any time and the air was very good to recuperate.

My physical condition is not bad. I don't feel excruciating pain during menstruation, but I don't feel nothing at all either. Like now, I occasionally feel a strange sensation in my lower abdomen from time to time. This feeling is not very comfortable, but it has not reached the level of "pain". In addition, my endocrine system may be a little disordered during menstruation, and my hormone level increases. At this time, in addition to the discomfort in my stomach, my chest is also a little swollen.

It’s like... like the two little rabbits on my chest are about to grow up.

I checked online and found that some girls...especially those with smaller breasts do have similar experiences before and after menstruation. This is because the estrogen level in the body increases during this period, which can cause swelling, dull pain and other symptoms in the breasts.

In addition, my mood now is not like usual. I feel refreshed at any time. I always feel depressed. It is hard to describe where I feel depressed, but I just feel uncomfortable all over my body.

This is just like when you accidentally bite your mouth or tongue while eating one day, and it develops into a mouth ulcer. It doesn't hurt normally, but if you accidentally rub it while talking, or lick it with your tongue occasionally, the sudden discomfort will make you feel extremely irritable, and you always feel like "I'm hurt, I can't be as happy and comfortable as before these days, and this makes me very unhappy."

So the first thing that came to my mind was the island here.

This may be the so-called "elf" gene in my body. Now I really like to be close to nature, like the flowers, plants and trees that can be seen everywhere here, the mottled branches above my head, and the little rabbits and squirrels that run around from time to time. Every time I see these, my mood will improve a lot.

Plus, the temperature on the island is very pleasant, and there's no one around, so I can feel safe walking around in my swimsuit, and there's a... really wonderful sense of openness.

"Don't be afraid, I won't eat you."

I waved to the furry little balls not far away, sat on the open space in a duck-like posture, took Xiaomo's sketchbook on the drawing board, pulled my rabbit backpack to my chest, and took out a white chocolate-flavored crispy shark from it.

Well…eat some sweets during menstruation to replenish energy and bask in the sun to regulate your tummy, perfect.

After tearing open the packaging of the white chocolate crispy shark, I placed the album on my lap and munched on the snack while admiring Xiaomo's masterpiece.

From the time we arrived in this sea area to the time we attracted the killer whales, the dominant species in the ocean, in less than half an hour, Xiaomo "created" a total of seven paintings, six of which were realistic and one was in anime style. All of them were highly completed works, especially the six realistic pencil drawings, which could be regarded as cheerful black-and-white photos if you didn't look closely or put them further away...

As for the anime-style painting, it was the scene when the killer whales slapped two big fish towards me. I felt the danger and instinctively squatted down with my hands on my head.

The girl in the picture has beautiful long hair and a petite body. She is squatting pitifully on the rocks in the shallow water. Behind her are giggling killer whales and big fish flying high. The background is an "inland sea" surrounded by craters. White clouds are floating in the sky. The overall style is extremely light and bright, conveying the joy and vitality of an adolescent girl.

No, this book must be hidden in our room, and no one is allowed to read it...

I was chewing on a crispy shark and just flipping through the picture book in my hand a few times when I felt the temperature on my face getting higher and higher.

Why am I embarrassed when looking at my own swimsuit pictures?

"Swish..."

While I was looking at my own "pornographic pictures", the Angora rabbits that had been scared back into the bushes before, probably because they felt that I was not in any danger, poked their heads out of the grass again and cautiously moved a few steps towards me.

"I told you I won't eat you."

Looking at these little elves moving towards me with some amusement, I stood up, checked the time on my phone, opened my rabbit backpack next to me, took out a sanitary napkin from it, put on my slippers, and found a slightly secluded place to change.

Well... that's the bad thing about girls. The menstrual period is particularly troublesome.

After I packed the things I had taken off into a bag and returned to the open space in front of the shrine, I glanced at the still incredibly blue sea in front of me, and then looked at the few bunny dumplings next to me.

It seems that my daily routine has become fixed when I was working in the coffee shop this month. I am not very sleepy during this period of time, but rather feel a little energetic.

After all, for the catering industry, during the peak dining hours at noon or in the evening, you have to be extremely alert to cope with the sudden surge in customers. You can only take a break when there are fewer people in the afternoon or evening.

that……

At the entrance of the shrine, I turned around and looked at the small house that had almost no decoration.

——Come in and take a look?

"..."

……

No. 226 Holy Archangels Will Never Fall

Compared to the dense woods outside and the dappled sunlight that shines through the branches everywhere, the temperature and air inside the "shrine" are much cooler.

Maybe it’s because the building has just been completed, there is a lingering smell of dry soil and wood here, and there is no strange smell of glue or formaldehyde like that of a newly renovated house.

It feels like... an old house of a certain age, cool, comfortable, and full of age.

I remember that there were many such old mud-brick and wooden houses around the medicinal plant garden in the welfare home. Some were used to store sundries, while others had been abandoned long ago and were empty. They became the "secret base" for me and my friends.

The feeling is very similar to the secret base of Menma in "Anohana".

I still remember that there was a storage room surrounded by sawn long strips of wood and timber, weighing several tons. After being transported by car, they were dumped casually on the open space. From a distance, it looked like a mess, with many gaps and passages made of wood in the middle. We kids were small and could drill into them directly. During the day, we could find some fruits nearby and eat and take a nap in this interconnected world. At night, we could play hide-and-seek with our friends. It was so happy.

However, these ancient memories have disappeared with the modernization of the city.

In the slums of Kamihama City's central district, for example, children born in this era can hardly see natural scenery or similar wooden houses. In addition, almost all schools have cancelled spring and autumn outings, so they have even fewer opportunities to come into contact with nature.

Of course I know that this house was built recently. The reason for this smell is probably because the materials used were exposed to the sun at the seaside for half a month in advance and were not painted.

"..."

Wearing slippers and walking on the flat ground inside the house, I looked at this so-called "Dragon King Temple" and enjoyed the tranquility that belonged to only one person.

Just like the outside of the shrine, there was no decoration inside the house. Not even the most basic furniture, tables, and chairs. The wood and bricks were all in their most primitive colors. The interior looked like it had been cleaned in the first few days after it was built, but because no one came to manage it in the following days, there was a lot of dust on the ground again.

Especially at the entrance of the shrine, where the floor tiles meet the soil next to it, there is a lot of very soft sand. Some of the floor tiles have several circles in the middle. You can vaguely see that the sand in the middle of the funnel-shaped circles is trembling slightly because of your walking, as if there are some small creatures in it.

Antlion is a type of insect that specializes in hunting ants or small insects.

This creature likes to live in cool and quiet places, especially likes to build nests under remote eaves built by humans. Its hunting method is to dig a funnel-shaped hole in a place near the building where the sun cannot reach or the rain cannot reach, and shrink itself at the bottom. If any small animal unfortunately falls into this small funnel, it will slide to the center of the funnel and be eaten by the ant lion.

Generally speaking, older houses are full of dust, which accumulates around the house. The wood around the house is old and has termites, or the soil of the house itself has a sand-like structure, which makes it easy to attract ant lions. Basically, those small funnels on the ground are the masterpieces of ant lions.

If I remember correctly, this house was requested to be built when Xiaomo, Mayor Ye Yuqing and others came here for "exploration" in late May. Mayor Ye's response was also very quick. This simple "Dragon King Temple" was built in just a few days. It has been placed here until now, allowing the surrounding small animals to naturally regard this place as a "natural attraction."

I really don’t know what this place will look like in a few years when the Kamihama Cross-sea Bridge is completed, land is reclaimed, and the surrounding islands become the “Tenth District” of Kamihama City.

Submarine cables are buried, water pipes are extended to transport electricity and fresh water, and then a few signal base stations are installed...

But when that time really comes, I believe that the angels, cat girls, foxes, centaurs and so on that Xiaomo mentioned in the other world before will also come to this world, right?

All kinds of magical creatures from another world disguised as humans live in harmony with ordinary humans here? What kind of magical plot is this?

Is this place really that attractive to them?

Why do I feel like after Filo came here to work as a maid, she became addicted to making coffee and milk tea after just a few days?

“Ka-ka-ka-ka… 嘤嘤嘤…”

In the "lobby" of the Dragon King Temple, looking at the empty house and preparing to return the same way, I suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the small room next to me.

Are there any other small animals here?

Out of curiosity, I walked towards the small room and pushed open the half-closed wooden door with a creaky sound.

"嘤嘤嘤嘤..."

Since there is no electric light here, the light is very dim, but I can still see what is going on inside with my excellent eyesight -

A litter of foxes.

It should be a fox, one of those animals with... overall bright red fur with a little bit of orange, and a pointed face, a bit like a Samoyed among dogs, but the facial contours are more charming than those of a dog.

"嘤嘤嘤?"
