Chapter 22: Girls' time~?

Take a bath.

For a girl who loves cleanliness, taking a shower every day should be a normal thing, right?

At least for Fujimaru Ritsuka, who has not experienced too many hardships, she would rather clean herself properly if conditions permit, especially considering that she was covered in sweat and dust after the battle yesterday, and felt very uncomfortable.

But now is not the time to relax.

The girl was not an idiot without tactical awareness. Taking a shower was nothing in normal times, but in this situation, when she didn't know how many enemies were hiding in the dark, taking off her clothes to wash her body could easily put herself in a dangerous environment. After all, at this time, people's vigilance and observation were not as good as usual, just like last night when everyone in the team went to bed without taking off their clothes, always on guard against possible attacks. Cleanliness was not a priority at this time.

Even though he said that, Ritsuka still felt a little uncomfortable with the uncomfortable feeling of sweating.

Anyway, I have to be patient for now. The doctor said that I will definitely experience various dangerous environments in order to restore my human nature. Just not being able to take a shower cannot be a reason to hinder me. I have to adapt to it and find a way to adapt to it.

Thinking this way, Ritsuka had originally decided to give up taking a shower and just get through it, but she obviously didn't realize that all her thoughts were clearly seen by Komeiji Kaku standing beside her. So after the girl made up her mind, she looked up and saw Komeiji Kaku standing in front of her.

"Want to take a shower together?"

There was no emotion felt in those pink pupils.

The monster girl just asked softly, and then took the lead to walk towards the bathroom on the side of the room.

[If there are two of us, we can take care of each other and nothing will happen]

Such words rang out in the mental link, and Ritsuka immediately realized that it was Komeiji Jue who heard the tangled thoughts in her heart, so he used this method to avoid her troubles and was trying to help her.

"Well, thank you Miss Jue, I'm sorry to drag you into this matter."

The girl, with a mixture of gratitude and apology, followed Komeiji Kaku, and then it was time for the two girls to take a bath together.

slam-la-

"Whoa!"

The slightly cold water made Lixiang shiver all over and he subconsciously let out a cry of surprise.

Perhaps due to the damage caused by yesterday's battle, the water pressure on the ship was not very stable, so that after turning on the hot water, the shower head was hot and cold, and it took a long time for the water temperature to stabilize.

Because it was the lowest-class inner cabin, there was no high-end facilities such as a bathtub, only a small space separated by glass. Obviously, this was not a shower room prepared for multiple people, so Ritsuka and Gu Mingji would be more or less crowded standing in it.

"Let me get the shower gel."

For example, now, Gu Mingji Jue put down the shower head and said softly, walking past Ritsuka and reaching out to take the shower gel on the platform on the side.

"Well……"

Ritsuka subconsciously made room for himself and almost lay on the glass. You could even hear the slight sound of his skin rubbing against the glass.

This human's figure is much better than mine.

Looking at the girl who was a little distressed because a certain front armor was pressing against the glass, Gu Mingji couldn't help but have such a thought.

Come to think of it, neither myself nor Lianlian has a plump figure.

Thinking of her sister whom she hadn't seen for a long time, the monster girl felt a little emotional in her heart. Then she saw Ritsuka moved slightly to make room for her, leaving a long mark on the glass, as if he had wiped the glass with a large rag.

Well, this is really... Never mind, there is no need to pay special attention to such things. Besides, even if I am not very good at this, there are pets among me who have very good figures, much better than this human girl. To sum up, if you round it off, I am also better, yes, that's right. No, what the hell am I thinking about...

Because of the very well-developed curve of a certain girl, Gu Mingji Jue had some random thoughts.

It has been a long time since I had such random thoughts. Is it because I have left the Earth Spirit Temple and my retreat and reconnected with the outside world, so my thoughts have become younger?

Perhaps, it is because my ability to read other people's inner thoughts has in turn affected myself?

As Komeiji Kaku was thinking this, he felt a gaze on his back, and when he turned around, he saw Fujimaru Ritsuka approaching with a towel in his hand.

"Let me rub your back, Miss Jue."

"okay."

Ritsuka smiled gently as he said this, and after a brief silence, Gu Mingji Jue nodded slightly, not rejecting the other party's kindness.

One can feel a very wonderful aura coming from this savior girl.

How to describe it specifically? It's a bit like that, no matter whether it's a good person or a bad person, as long as they are not standing on the enemy's position, this girl can find a way to build a good relationship with the other party, and they can become very friendly with each other. Well, how to describe it, although on the surface she looks like a naive and optimistic young girl, her temperament is actually more like air, silent and difficult to detect, but it can make people adapt to it, and once it forms a habit, it is difficult to give up...

To sum up, she seems to be a very scary girl. She reminds Gu Mingde a little of a troublesome black and white witch. However, Fujimaru Ritsuka is far less annoying than that human, and he doesn't like stealing and causing trouble like that guy.

Thinking of this, Komeiji Kaku sat on a small stool in the bathroom and let Ritsuka rub her back from behind.

Because the bathroom itself is very small, occasionally, Gu Mingji Jue would feel a warm and soft touch, hmm, should it be fingers?

"Ms. Jue's skin is so good. My skin tends to get dry easily if I don't take good care of it."

With some emotion, Ritsuka gently poked the back of Gu Mingdi Jue, and accidentally poked the itchy spot of Jue, which made the originally serious monster girl tremble uncontrollably. The corners of her mouth subconsciously curled up, but she quickly suppressed it.

"Hey, Miss Jue, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"……No."

Ritsuka came up to him curiously and asked. The two bodies were much closer at this moment, and immediately, Gu Mingji felt the pressure of a solid marshmallow.

Um... this child...

For a moment, Gu Mingdijue showed a somewhat helpless expression.

I don't feel any bad intentions, including this kind of close physical contact, it's just genuine concern.

It's a bit too natural. Based on her memory, can such a child really shoulder the burden of saving the world? It always makes me a little worried. However, if she has become a savior, considering that she can always find ways to get external help, it doesn't seem too difficult.

"I'm fine, just a little, um, squeezed."

After saying this, Komeiji Kaku calmed down, and Ritsuka continued to rub her back.

Amid the crisp sounds of water dripping slowly, the two girls sat quietly in the small, steamy bathroom, occasionally chatting.

"What does Miss Jue usually do?"

“Be a teacher.”

“Being a teacher feels so awesome.”

"Yeah, not bad."

"I live in a place called Chaldea. Well, although it's an organization that saves the world, it looks like a research institute. Of course, the doctor and Da Vinci are very reliable, and the other staff are also very capable, but... well, saving a burned world still makes me feel a little nervous."

"Um……"

"By the way, Miss Jue, do you know about summoning heroic spirits? Are there such things in other worlds?"

"Maybe... yes? I'm not sure, but there are such things as familiars and shikigami in many worlds."

"Oh, I see. I actually summoned more than two Servants. There were several others as well. But since it was my first time participating in a mission, I only brought the two Servants closest to me at the time. Well, Mashu was having a physical examination and couldn't come with me. It was a pity because I really wanted her to see the outside world. Ah, sorry, I talked so much..."

"fine."

Although it was called a chat, it was actually Fujimaru Ritsuka who was doing most of the talking, while Komeiji Kaku was just listening quietly.

It can be clearly felt that this young girl is actually under quite a heavy pressure in her heart.

The world of a girl named Fujimaru Ritsuka has been destroyed, and the entire planet has basically ceased to exist. The specific reason is unknown, but it is known that with the emergence of destruction, human history has appeared incomprehensible distortion nodes in the past time points. With the entire world destroyed, as the only Master among the members of the Human Rights Security Agency who currently has the adaptability of time and space transfer, the girl is responsible for the arduous task of teleporting to these distortion nodes again and again to smooth them out.

If we fail just once, human civilization will be destroyed.

Although he usually looks carefree and casual, at this moment, as the emotions gradually emerge during the chat, Gu Mingji Jue gradually feels the pressure hidden in the other person's heart.

Perhaps, the battle yesterday had increased her pressure a bit? After all, she herself did not play a big role in the whole process, although from a practical point of view, her Servant's Cursed Arm actually played a big role, and the other Servant she had been hiding so far also played a great role in secret. But for the girl herself, she seemed to feel that these were only the credit of the Servant, and as the Master who controlled the Servant, she did not play any irreplaceable role, so the anxiety and pressure in her heart were further aggravated.

However, despite this, the girl seemed to be slowly releasing the pressure in her heart as she chatted. This good self-regulation ability made Gu Mingdi look at her with new eyes. When ordinary people face such a responsibility, I'm afraid few can adjust as quickly as she does, right?

slam-la-

Amid the sound of water rushing, foam flowed down the girl's fair skin, from her thighs to the soles of her feet, and then fell to the ground.

"I'll help you scrub your back, too."

"Oh, thank you for troubling Miss Jue."

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Li Xiang sat on a small stool, clasped his hands and bent slightly.

Before Gu Mingji Jue could get behind her, his eyes couldn't help but linger on the physical collision box with good elasticity.

The man who marries this girl in the future will probably be very lucky. No, it is possible that he will be plagued by bad luck.

"What you said just now may expose our intelligence. Don't forget that we are still on a mission."

Komeiji Kaku, who was sitting behind Ritsuka, said in a low voice.

"Hey? Sorry, I forgot about it once I relaxed. Now I..."

"Don't worry. I have used my magic power to shield the surroundings before this. No one will be able to detect the sound or the picture. But you still have to be more cautious and alert. After all, you may face all kinds of unexpected situations."

"Oh, I see. Sorry, I've caused trouble for Miss Jue again."

"Not really. Growth is a gradual process. Just remember the lessons you learn every time."

"Hey, thank you for your guidance, Mr. Jue."

"Well……"

I didn't realize that this kid is very good at taking advantage of others. Just now he was acting very cautiously as if he had done something wrong, but now he can joke around carefreely.

It kind of reminds me of Lianlian when she was naughty. This is really...

Thinking this, Gu Mingji Jue reached out and patted Ritsuka on the head.

"ah--"

The orange-haired girl let out a small cry.

"Smiling, what I just said is very important. When facing an enemy hiding in the dark, sometimes a small intelligence error can lead to serious consequences. You must take it seriously."

Although he was speaking in a very serious tone, as if he was giving someone a lecture, the corners of Gu Mingji Jue's mouth had already curled up in a gentle arc.

She herself didn't even realize it. She obviously didn't like to communicate with others and tended to be cold and autistic. But after staying here with Lixiang for a while, their relationship quickly became much better, to the point where they could joke with each other casually.

The warm mist was still dissipating in all directions.

Everything seemed to be still leisurely, but no one noticed that outside the bathroom, a shadow in the room seemed to tremble faintly.

Chapter 23: Hidden Enemy?

Snapped--

After opening the bottle cap, accompanied by the sound of bubbles gushing out, Lin Yi drank half the bottle of Pepsi in his hand in one breath, and then let out a long breath.

The Guiling Hunters were still planning to ambush the so-called [Remnants of the Guiling King], but to be honest, Lin Yi doubted that the ones left on the ship were not the remnants, but the other two Guiling Kings mentioned by the other party.

One of them is a mysterious being who is said to be able to step into the shadows and come and go without a trace. She is only known to be a female and seems to have a strong desire for sadism. Almost all the soul hunters who have fought with her have survived, and all male soul hunters have had certain parts cut off. Female soul hunters usually cannot leave a complete body, and will be cut and pieced together into various horrible shapes by her.

This twisted female spirit is just like Neiltat. Whenever she appears among humans, she will inevitably stir up bloodshed. But the difference is that she is calmer, more cruel, and has a better sense of taste. She carries out various cruel acts rationally.

According to the information left by the very few survivors, this King of Returning Spirits seemed to be able to manipulate the shadows to cut people off directly, or drag people into the shadows. No one knew where the people dragged into the shadows by her went, because no one had ever come out of the shadows.

Moreover, in addition to the ability to control shadows, this Queen of Return to the Spirit seems to be able to exert some kind of psychological suggestion through language, which will make the people fighting with her unconsciously do what the other party said, as if their spirit was deflected and affected.

The soul-returning hunters named the soul-returning king Basheer, which means "banshee".

After talking with the elder named Jelf, Lin Yi hesitated and thought for a while before telling the elder that the other Guiling tribe hidden on the ship might not be weaklings, but strong ones like Neiltat, but the elder did not believe it. Instead, he told Lin Yi from his own experience that the Guiling kings could not cooperate in fighting, because they had their own territories and people to protect, and there were certain conflicts between them. They were not united, and they would not cooperate unless it was absolutely necessary.

Although they really wanted to say that it was probably the moment of "last resort", the Guiling hunters did not intend to accept the opinions of Lin Yi and his gang, so Lin Yi did not say anything more.

However, although it is suspected that the three Guiling Kings of the Guiling Clan have gathered on this ship, the other party has not taken any action after sailing for such a long time. It is completely unknown what these guys are thinking.

It seemed that Neiltat simply blew himself up because there were too many humans and the savior was suspicious.

But his companions, the other members of the Guiling tribe, did not intervene in this matter from beginning to end, and just watched Neiltat die indifferently.

Is there some kind of disagreement between these people?

Or was Neil Tate's death part of their plan, or within their tolerance range?

There is no way to know the answer.

Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. As long as they don't jump out, Lin Yi really has no way to find them. After all, according to the cult, the King of Returned Spirits named Basheer can completely sneak into all shadows, and as long as she doesn't observe outside in the shadows, there is no possibility of finding her, and all means of detection will be ineffective. In fact, Gu Mingdijue conducted a search of the entire ship after the battle last night, and indeed did not find any Returned Spirits.

However, the other party will definitely appear again.

After all, from the very beginning, it was this woman who had been observing them in the shadows for a long time.

And we can't just consider this person, there is also the third King of Return to the Spirit, the most mysterious King of Return to the Spirit about whom the Return to the Spirit hunters can never get clear information.

Atreus, meaning "giant", is the only one of the three spiritual kings today whose true identity is unknown.
