I'm in Morioh, just joined a chat group for cute girls.

The feeling of my entire skeleton being reshaped gradually disappeared, and no more new dirt seeped from my skin.

The whole process lasted about ten minutes. When everything quieted down, she felt as if she had just been pulled out of the mud.

"Is it over?" she asked cautiously.

"It should be over now," Gu Ye said.

Hai Meng looked down at herself. Although she felt sticky all over, she felt an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort.

The neck and back pain and discomfort that I had accumulated from staying up late to watch anime and rush to finish cosplay costumes have all disappeared without a trace.

She tried moving her wrists and felt as light as if she were about to float away.

Ignoring the filth on her body, she excitedly ran to Gu Ye and stretched out her still-dirty arm.

"Gu Yejun! Look! Look at my skin!"

Beneath that layer of grayish-black grime, the newly formed skin has an almost transparent texture, like the finest mutton fat jade, delicate and smooth, with not a single pore visible, as if it has its own soft-focus filter.

"Wow! That's amazing! I feel like I've been reborn!" Hai Meng jumped up and down excitedly, but then frowned at the smell and sticky feeling emanating from her body. "But... I really want to take a shower right now! I feel so uncomfortable!"

She looked at Gu Ye pitifully, "Gu Ye-jun, could I borrow your bathroom for a moment? I promise I'll be there right away!"

"My home?" Gu Ye glanced at her disheveled appearance, then at Tony, who maintained a gentle smile throughout the restaurant, and finally nodded. "Let's go."

After thanking Tony and paying the bill, the two left the restaurant.

Walking on the streets of Morioh at night, Haimeng kept a small distance from Gu Ye because of her own scent, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Gu Ye's home is located in a rather ordinary-looking detached villa.

When he opened the door and led Haimeng inside, Haimeng exclaimed in amazement once again.

"Wow--"

Completely different from the "standard otaku room" she had imagined, filled with piles of figurines and posters and permeated with the smell of instant noodles, Gu Ye's home was bright and clean, decorated in a minimalist black, white and gray color scheme, with all items arranged in an orderly manner, even spotless, and there was a faint lemon fragrance in the air.

"Gu Yejun, your house is so clean!" Hai Meng looked around and exclaimed sincerely, "This doesn't look like the home of a typical otaku! Did you hire a professional housekeeper?"

"I've just gotten used to tidying up by myself." Gu Ye took a new pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and handed them to her. "The bathroom is the first one on the left on the second floor."

"Oh, okay!" Hai Meng changed into slippers, then, as if remembering something, turned back to Gu Ye with a sly smile. "Since you've seen how disheveled I am, in exchange, I'll invite you to my house tomorrow! I'll show you what a real, ultimate otaku room looks like!"

"We'll see," Gu Ye replied noncommittally.

Hai Meng hummed an off-key anime song as she ran up to the second floor.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom. Gu Ye sat on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and watched the evening news with a bored expression.

About twenty minutes later, the sound of water stopped.

A few minutes later, the bathroom door was quietly opened a crack, and Hai Meng poked out a wet head, her long golden hair still dripping water.

Her cheeks were flushed pink from the steam, making her look exceptionally cute.

"Um... Gu Yejun..." she called out softly, her voice full of embarrassment.

"What's wrong?" Gu Ye turned around.

"My clothes... seem unwearable." Hai Meng's voice was even softer. "When my body changed just now, it felt like I got a lot of dirt on them that can't be washed off, and I ran so fast just now, it seems like they got completely soaked..."

Gu Ye was silent for a moment, then stood up. "Wait a moment."

He went upstairs to his room, quickly retrieved a set of clean clothes, and handed them to the bathroom door.

It was an oversized black hooded sweatshirt and a pair of athletic shorts.

"Wear this for now."

"Thank you, Gu Yejun!"

The door closes again.

A few minutes later, Kitagawa Kaimu emerged from the bathroom wearing clothes that were clearly a size too big.

The oversized sweatshirt could almost be worn as a dress, with the hem just covering the athletic shorts, revealing a pair of straight, slender, and fair legs that glowed under the lights.

She tugged at the hem of her shirt somewhat uncomfortably; the neckline of her hoodie was quite large, revealing her delicate collarbone.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of shower gel and the sweet fragrance unique to young girls.

Gu Ye's gaze lingered on her for a second before quickly shifting away, his ears turning slightly red.

"Um... it's so late, it doesn't seem safe for me to go home alone." Hai Meng dried her hair with a towel while glancing at Gu Ye's reaction out of the corner of her eye, and tentatively asked, "Besides, didn't we agree to play games? I... can I stay here tonight? I'll sleep on the sofa!"

Looking at her expectant yet slightly pitiful expression, Gu Ye ultimately couldn't refuse.

“The guest rooms are on the second floor, on the right,” he said.

"Yay! That's awesome!" Hai Meng cheered immediately, her earlier embarrassment completely gone.

And so, a strange scene unfolded in the living room late at night.

The TV screen flashed with the gorgeous game CG of "Saint Slippery Girls' Academy," and the sounds of the controller buttons and Hai Meng's occasional exclamations of "Wow! This option will affect the affection level!" and "Damn it! Why can't I have them all!" mingled together.

Gu Ye sat next to her, seemingly playing with her, but his mind was elsewhere.

In his study, an invisible stand-in, "Weather Forecast," floats in front of the computer, its hands moving like phantoms, rapidly typing on the keyboard.

One by one, the words appeared on the screen, forming the cruel and magnificent chapter of the Fifth Holy Grail War, from the detailed information of the seven Masters and Servants to the course and outcome of each battle, leaving no detail unmentioned.

When Hai Meng finally achieved a happy ending for a character and put down the controller with satisfaction, the document in Gu Ye's study also came to a close.

He packaged the organized files and sent them to Rin Tohsaka via the private chat function in the chat group.

[Weather Forecast]: Here's what you wanted.

After doing all this, he felt a wave of weariness wash over him.

Gu Ye yawned deeply and rubbed his eyes.

"It's getting late, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep." He said to Hai Meng, who was still immersed in the afterglow of the game. "You know where the guest room is, everything in it is clean, use it as you see fit."

"Okay!" Hai Meng rubbed her eyes, feeling a bit sleepy.

Clutching the precious game disc, she stood up from the sofa, a satisfied smile on her face. "Thank you so much for today, Gu Yejun! Goodnight!"

"Good night."

Gu Ye turned off the living room lights and the TV, and went back to his room by himself.

Hai Meng skipped and hopped up to the second floor, found her guest room, and snuggled into the soft quilt like a kitten, quickly drifting off to sleep with a sweet smile.

The entire room fell completely silent.

......

Here's a breakdown of Gu Ye's abilities.

The blue-white humanoid cloud-shaped Stand can control the weather and climate around the world, and the scale of its control can be large or small, down to a radius of 1 meter.

On a small scale, friction between air and air generates heat; on a large scale, it causes widespread rainfall.

Within an extremely close distance of 1 to 2 meters, one can unleash a fist, rain, or lightning with powerful wind pressure to strike the target.

In addition, there are weather attacks such as poisonous frog rainstorms and storms, as well as attacks that can summon large amounts of special gases (such as pure oxygen).

By stimulating Gu Ye's own will, a new form of weather forecasting was created after its evolution.

Abilities: It can damage the ozone layer, change the refractive index of sunlight in the atmosphere, produce natural "subconscious effects," and influence the spiritual level of living beings.

Those affected firmly believe they will become snails, while Gu Ye himself is immune.

Furthermore, blind people are not affected by this ability.

Through years of training, Gu Ye has gained the ability to freely control storms and rain, and can even restore someone to their original body if they are turned into a snail.

In addition to turning people into snails, Gu Ye can also turn those he shines on into other creatures.

【Insect Arrow】: The Stand Insect Arrow, in addition to retaining the basic ability to grant a Stand, can also allow the Stand to evolve and awaken new and unknown abilities on the original basis. Its evolved new form is called Requiem.

Chapter 38 Gu Ye: I have no objection

The morning sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting a bright patch of light on the guest room floor.

Kitagawa Kaimu woke up in a warm glow. She turned over and buried her face in the soft pillow, still a little groggy.

Fragments of last night's dream began to replay uncontrollably in my mind.

The images were terrifyingly real: Gu Yejun's magnified face, his warm breath as he spoke, and... Hai Meng suddenly sat up in bed, her cheeks instantly burning hot.

She glanced down at her oversized black hoodie, and then a sticky, cold sensation came from the inside of her thighs, making her blood seem to freeze.

She lifted the covers, her gaze falling on the dark, stiff fabric of the athletic shorts.

An indescribable sense of shame overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.

She actually... had that kind of dream about Gu Yejun, and...

She grabbed the hoodie that was the culprit; the feeling of last night's touch still lingered on it.

There was also a slightly stiff water stain at the hem of the sweatshirt, which was not very noticeable but could be felt by touch.

No, we absolutely cannot let Gu Yejun find out!

Hai Meng's mind raced. She tiptoed off the bed, took off her sweatshirt and shorts, and haphazardly wrapped them in her arms, her heart pounding with nervousness.

She had to clean up these "evidence" without anyone knowing before he returned!
