After Fujimori Mizuto left, masked shrine staff came in, cleaned up the dishes, and led Li Mengyu and Xiaojun to the room prepared for them.

There was no communication during the entire process, except that he bowed slightly when leaving, just like a robot.

Li Mengyu could see the face underneath the mask through the mask.

“Respect…?”

He stroked his chin, not knowing what he was thinking.

If no one brings it up, then let's stop here for today.

……

Li Mengyu rubbed her eyebrows and sat on the stone steps in front of the room.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been sleeping outdoors for too long, but I couldn’t fall asleep even on the soft big bed.

And it seems that he is not the only one having this problem. Although Xiaojun looks like he is asleep, he is not actually asleep.

Li Mengyu didn't know what was wrong with her. Ever since she met Shiratori Utahara and the others, she seemed to be listless. Even if she couldn't speak... normally she wouldn't be so dull that she wouldn't even have any body language.

It was indeed inconvenient not to be able to speak. Li Mengyu couldn't even ask what was going on and was a little worried.

From a room to the west of the ear, the voices of Shiratori Utahara and Fujimori Mizuto were heard.

It’s not that he wanted to eavesdrop or anything, he just had better hearing... and there were some very interesting contents.

"Evil heretics!"

"You are the evil heretic!"

It was like she was arguing with someone. Li Mengyu took this kind of content very seriously.

And I don't know why, but I always feel that the other voice sounds very familiar.

“Udon is the best!”

“It’s obviously buckwheat!”

It was like a quarrel between children and it lasted until the witches on both sides couldn't stand it anymore.

"Lord Utano, Lord Wakaba, how long do you want to discuss this topic!"

The old satellite phone in front of Shiratori Utano temporarily lost its response, and it took a while before the sound came out again.

Obviously, she had received a profound education. Of course, it wasn't just the girl on the other end of the phone who had received the education.

"We have weekly communications with Shikoku. I hope you know why we are communicating with them!"

At this time, in front of Fujimori Mizuto, Shiratori Utano could only nod timidly.

After a long while, the voice came from the other end of the phone again.

"Ahem, this is Nogi Wakaba from Shikoku."

"This is Shiratori Utano from Suwa... Reporting, everything is going well in Suwa now. Both food and resources can be self-sufficient."

The sudden serious report actually made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"What about the movement of the stardust? Recently, clusters of stardust that are different from the usual ones have begun to appear around Shikoku. How are you, Suwa?"

"Like a needle? I've encountered the same thing here... Although it's a bit troublesome... it's still easy to solve... I don't care too much about it."

"As expected, they appeared on your side too? I think you'd better be a little more careful... The appearance of these special individuals means that the stardust may also be evolving. Although it's not enough now, we predict that some difficult individuals may appear in the future, not to mention that the frequency of stardust appearances has increased recently."

"What about the passage between Suwa and Shikoku?"

“…There may be delays in the project.”

The conversation between the two sides fell into silence temporarily. The current situation is that although Suwa and Shikoku have stable contacts, Shikoku is still Shikoku, and Suwa is still Suwa, and they are still fighting each other.

"Although it may be a bit redundant to say this, I hope you can protect yourself, Miss Shiratori Utano."

Because there is only one hero in Suwa, if she is lost, the ending of the entire Suwa is naturally self-evident.

"Why worry about it? I won't fall down until Shikoku and Suwa are connected and your wrong ideas about soba are corrected."

"…Udon is the strongest. I will never give in to this point."

"Oh, so you're brave."

Really, why did the topic finally revolve around to this thing?

The priestesses on both sides were troubled by the current attitude of their "heroes".

"Mr. Li?"

Fujimori Mizu saw Li Mengyu who had arrived at the door at some point.

The doors of your rooms are all open. You have no sense of privacy at all.

Li Mengyu waved at her.

The girl on the other end of the phone who was about to continue to refute heard Fujimori Mizuto's voice. Because it was an unrelated voice, it was particularly clear.

That is a somewhat difficult pronunciation for people from Yingzhou, but for the girl on the other end of the phone, this pronunciation...

"Yes--Master?"

After pondering for a moment, he decided to ask the question buried in his heart even if he had heard it wrong.

Nogi Wakaba on the other end of the phone held the phone tightly, waiting for the voice from the other end.

Finally, the voice that had seemed so distant and like a dream rang out again.

"Hey, long time no see... Is this Ruoye?"

"master!"

"I... I'm..."

Because the opponent's momentum was so strong, Li Mengyu couldn't help but feel a little weak.

"Please don't leave. You are in Suwa now, right?! Please don't leave!"

Then there was a rather noisy sound from the other end of the phone, ping-pong-ping-pong.

I don’t know what he is doing.

Chapter 143: Hidden Matters

"Ruoye? Hello? Ruoye?"

No matter how Li Mengyu shouted, there was no response. After a long time, the sound of someone picking up the phone came from the other end.

"As for Ruoye, she has already left the headquarters in a hurry and is heading to your place...pervert-san."

The gentle yet somewhat heartbreaking voice now belongs to Kamisato Hinata, but why did they emphasize that title?

This is too heartbreaking.

"Don't be like this, Hinata-chan... If I have done anything wrong, I will apologize to you immediately, and please... please... take back what you said."

There are people watching here! Their eyes are getting weirder and weirder!

If Li Mengyu knew how to dig a tunnel, she would really want to do it now.

The other end of the phone fell silent again. After a long time, Kamisato Hinata spoke again, but this time his voice was trembling.

"Really... is it you?"

"..."

Li Mengyu sighed.

"It's me. I'm fine... I'm sorry. I must have made everyone worried."

When Li Mengyu heard the sobbing sound from the other end, she knew that she shouldn't use a funny voice.

"Feel sorry……"

"No...you don't need to apologize..." The sobbing continued, mixed with the sound of blowing snot, "As long as you're okay...as long as you're okay."

"But don't think you can get away with it like this... I'll tell Qianjing, Qiuzi and Xing the news when they come back. They're not as easy to talk to as I am... Just wait for death."

"I can roughly imagine what the situation will be like...Aren't they here now?"

"Hmph... I'll let Ruoye tell you the details when she comes over... Welcome back."

The voice was suppressed, and it was a stubborn look as if he was forcing himself not to cry again.

Li Mengyu didn't know how to comfort the girl through the phone.

a long time.

"I am back."

I said what I thought I should say on this occasion... and then we talked about some random things, which were basically meaningless. As for the real reminiscence... I guess we should wait until the next time we meet.

"Mr. Li... who are you?"

Just one voice made the captain of the four countries' heroes put down what they were doing... Crossing regions is something that even a hero should make a cautious decision under the current circumstances.

But just a phone call came and something like that.

"Ah I?"

Li Mengyu was stumped by Fujimori Mizu. He really didn't know how to answer this question.

"I...should be a hero too?"

He spoke a little uncertainly. According to the fixed power classification, he is actually the Demon King now... However, this should not be a big deal.

After all, there is no demon king in this world.

"So that's it."

I don’t know what they understood. Could it be that all the heroes nowadays are women, and he is a rare man?

"By the way, how many days does it take to get here from Shikoku? Aren't all the roads and stuff destroyed?"

"It is estimated that it will take about 5 days at most."

As someone who can fly, the brave hero Shiratori Utano has a say.

Only then did Li Mengyu realize that she was not wearing her previous hero outfit, but now she was wearing a very cute pajamas.

But don't worry...you can't see much at this age.

Not as cute as Fujimori Mizuto who has not yet taken off her shrine maiden costume.

Looking at Shiratori Utano like this, he didn't have any strange thoughts.

It's really interesting. After taking off that outfit, does she become an ordinary girl again?

It seems that this system, which I saw for the first time, is not completely without its merits.

"It looks like I'll have to bother you in the next few days. Sorry for the trouble."

He nodded slightly at the two girls.

Without waiting for the two little guys to say anything polite, he left the phone in the room and just left.

It was a close call. If they had suddenly screamed out, Li Mengyu would have had a hard time explaining it.

Probably because he was sure that the children were fine, he was in a good mood and thought he should be able to fall asleep. He gently opened the door of the room and prepared to fall asleep.

"..."

"Good evening?"

Even without turning on the lights, one could see that Xiaojun was sitting up on the bed, staring at him straight, which was a bit creepy.

However, it seemed that the creepy gaze did not last long and soon moved away.

Although Li Mengyu was able to fall asleep, Xiaojun was still the same as before.

The hero terminal in her hand was glowing with a faint light. Because she had no expression, no one knew what she was thinking at the moment.

Li Mengyu's gaze stayed on her. After all, they had been together for such a long time, so naturally he could be somewhat aware of her complicated mood.

But this brings us back to the topic, what is the identity of this girl who looks very similar to Qian Jing... Li Mengyu had his own guesses before, but as far as he knows now, it seems that it has been only about five years since his battle with Amaterasu.
