Why are you messing with him? All the animals in Tokyo are his minions.

Winter is coming.

Outside, the snowflakes were falling like goose feathers.

It's lunch time again.

Kanda Yui stood outside the club room window, carrying her lunch box, and sighed, "If the snow gets any heavier, classes will be suspended."

"Don't worry, we have winter vacation even when it snows heavily." Araki Sayuri sat next to Shuyue.

After saying that, Araki Sayuri suddenly turned around and kissed Shuyue on the side of her face.

Shuyue's body stiffened. He had been eating with his bowl in hand while reading a book silently, at peace with the world.

Then suddenly Araki Sayuri did this.

Shuyue instantly glanced at Shinmu Sayuri.

Ever since the two girls spent a night at Shuyue's house.

Sayuri Araki is becoming more and more clingy, and she always asks for kisses in a roundabout way.

Kiss Shuyue whenever he gets the chance.

Shuyue even suspected that Sayuri Shinki was going to be promoted to a higher education next semester and she applied for the activity room not so that she could have a private space to eat in the winter, but so that she could kiss him openly.

It's too cold.

Even though Shuyue installed floor heating, the animals in the mansion spent most of their time sleeping in a corner.

Even the red fire ants living on Shuyue don't like to move much.

If there is no real danger, Shuyue generally will not force them to move in the low temperature.

Therefore, Shuyue did not use ants to crawl on Shinmu Sayuri because of this little thing.

Even so, whenever Shuyue mentioned Shinmu Sayuri, she would still say that her private parts were itchy...

There's simply... no way to have a normal conversation.

Shuyue simply shook his head and ignored her.

As if afraid that Shuyue would be angry, Araki Sayuri quickly stood up and gave him a shoulder massage.

Araki Sayuri leaned down and whispered, "Do you have any plans for the weekend, Shuyue? My mother wants to meet you."

Shuyue narrowed her eyes slightly.

Ever since he met Sayuri Araki, information about Eiko Araki has been passed to him through various means.

But so much time has passed, and Shuyue has never met Araki Eiko formally.

Eiko Araki seems like an omnipotent mother.

Whenever Sayuri Araki encounters any difficulties, the problem can always be solved as long as she finds Eiko Araki.

Shuyue thought for a moment and said, "When? I'm very busy on weekends."

Araki Sayuri smiled slightly. She skillfully massaged Shuyue's shoulders and whispered in his ear, "It's just an ordinary meeting. Mom said she made an appointment with Yui's mom on Friday. Our two families will go to Shihodo's Aokigahara Onsen to soak in the hot springs. If you're free on Friday night, come over for dinner and treat it as a chance encounter between classmates."

At this time, Kanda Yui turned around and said, "The weather is not the coldest now. Wouldn't it be nice for Shuyue to come and take a hot spring bath with us?"

Shuyue glanced at the two of them meaningfully and said, "Okay."

Hearing that Shuyue agreed, smiles appeared on the faces of Araki Sayuri and Kanda Yui.

Araki Sayuri then said, "Shuyue, I saw your company's new game, it seems to be very popular. Do you want to bring your game console to the hot springs? My mom has booked a room, and we're staying there overnight."

"Okay." Shuyue didn't object.

Shu Yue didn't know why Yan Zhu suddenly became so introverted and finished the game script he gave her so quickly.

Moreover, its sales exceeded two million, making it the dark horse of the Japanese electronic game industry this year.

This was Yan Zhu's first property after leaving the Sifangtang family.

Shuyue thought that it would be a good idea to invite Yanzhu to relax in the hot springs on the weekend.

But Shuyue hadn't thought that Araki Eiko would be an unexpected existence for him...

Chapter 087 Snow Girl... Colleague?

The weekend arrived as expected.

After receiving the advertising routine from Shuyue last time, Shishigami has been busy with his career.

Because he was leading his brothers to make quick money, and because the sand sculpture advertising was somewhat effective, the people of "Ba" did not stop Shizi Shenlu from running this legitimate business.

Since the main branch of Shihodo was located in the suburbs, heavy snow also caused some obstacles for editing. So Shuyue asked Takayama to send all the manuscripts that he had saved for several months to Shueisha.

As for Yan Zhu, Shuyue also gave her a new script.

Whether the weekend is busy or not is up to Shuyue.

Winter is deepening.

The nights grew longer.

Soon after school ended on Friday afternoon, the sky darkened.

Shuyue said hello to Yanzhu, then got into Xiaoshan's car and headed to the hot spring baths in Aokigahara Forest.

Before reaching the destination, the road was covered by black forests on both sides.

The moonlight was as bright as day, illuminating the winding road.

The colorful world turned into a black and white world under the moonlight.

Snowflakes danced in the air on the road leading to the hot springs.

There was no sign of life on the road.

Due to the weather, Xiaoshan adjusted the speed of the car very slowly.

Shuyue sat in the back seat and closed his eyes to rest.

Suddenly, the long-lost system sound rang from my heart.

System: "Prompt... Someone with a similar identity to the host has been spotted fighting with natives of this world in the Aokigahara Forest, three kilometers away. Do you want to rescue them?"

Shuyue: “…”

Someone with a similar identity?

Shuyue still had her eyes closed, and asked in her mind, "System, confirm the exact identity of the person with a similar identity."

System: "...Analysis in progress, please wait."

System: "Prompt... Data analysis complete, Work ID: Snow Woman, Rank: 423, Name in this world: Araki Eiko..."

Shuyue suddenly opened his eyes, "Sayuuri Araki's mother?"

System: "Exactly."

Shuyue narrowed her eyes. "When you gave me their mother and daughter information, didn't you realize that Araki Eiko's true identity was also an Adventer?"

System: "As you know, this system only obtains information from scannable text materials. Araki Eiko has never appeared in front of the system at close range before."

Shuyue nodded to show that he understood.

From the time he met Sayuri Araki until now, Araki Eiko, the mother, has been just a piece of data to Shuyue, a person who often appears in the information.

Even though it was known that Eiko Araki often punished her daughter by throwing water on her.

Shuyue also learned about this matter through Jackdaw.

After all, Jackdaw is not a system, and can only convey the images it sees on the surface to Shuyue through language and actions.

It was not until today that Eiko Araki made an appointment with Shuyue through Sayuri Araki, and the system discovered Eiko Araki up close.

However, Shuyue didn't expect that this new Mu Yingzi would be of the same kind.

Shuyue was silent for a moment, then asked again, "Have I ever seen a snow woman before?"

System: “No.”

Shuyue raised her eyes and looked ahead. "Oh... Did she come to this world to take a vacation like me?"

System: "According to the data, the Snow Girl came here for a 'job'. The job was completed ten years ago, but she insisted on staying in this world, causing the world will to take measures to expel her."

Shuyue looked bewildered: "Expulsion measures?"

System: "It's... a measure to kick out the 'Workers' who violate the rules and stay in this world. That is, the world's ill will will cause the 'Scavengers' lurking in this world to spontaneously encounter the 'Workers' who forcibly stay. The 'Scavengers' will hunt them down at any time until they are successfully kicked out of this world."

Shuyue rolled her eyes.

If he wasn't here for vacation, he wouldn't want to stay in those planes of existence for long.

This Shinki Eiko is also weird.

What is there to be nostalgic about in the mission world?

This is the price you pay for not leaving after your work is done.

The system asked again: "...Host, are you going to rescue?"

Shuyue's face was expressionless, "No, I have no obligation to save her."

The system is silent...

In fact, it's freezing right now.

That woman definitely didn't have the codename "Snow Woman" for no reason; this place was her home turf.

Most of Shuyue's powers are asleep.

Thinking of this, Shuyue felt unhappy.

Shuyue came into this world this spring.

It was in autumn that I met Sayuri Shinki.

Eiko Araki has always emphasized to Sayuri Araki that she should be friends with Shuyue, but Eiko Araki herself has never appeared in front of Shuyue.

On the contrary, even now when it is snowing heavily, Shinki Eiko took the initiative to invite him.

It is clear……

This is because Shinki Eiko believes that the season with heavy snow is the most favorable time for her.

In this way, even if there is a conflict with Shuyue, Araki Eiko can remain calm.

I can probably guess what Shinki Eiko is thinking. How could Shuyue possibly save her?

Let her fend for herself...

After making the decision, Shuyue immediately took out her cell phone and called Yan Zhu, telling her not to come to the hot spring bath as it was inappropriate.

Yan Zhu agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Shuyue asked again, "Is the person fighting the 'Snow Woman' one of the 'Scavengers' generated by this world itself?"

System: "Yes."

Shuyue thought to himself that since that person had chased Araki Eiko here, he would definitely come into contact with him, so he should get more information first.

The system immediately replied: "This time, the 'Scavenger' is from China in this world. His name is Yun Yusuan."

Shuyue said "Oh", the name was a bit strange, but easy to remember.

The system continued, "He is Shishigamiru's younger brother. The hot spring hotel surveillance shows that Yun Yusuan used Shishigamiru's membership card to pay at the Shifangtang Aokigahara Baths. However, after completing the check-in procedures, he encountered the "Snow Girl" who had also completed the check-in procedures in the lobby of the hot spring hotel. Thus, a conflict ensued."

The world is really small.

Yun Yusuan is actually Shizi Shenlu's younger brother.

Shuyue sighed, "If this 'scavenger' sees me, will he hunt me down like he hunted down the 'snow girl'?"

System: "No, the 'workers' who violated the rules and stayed behind will be regarded as demons by the 'scavengers'. But you are here on vacation, so you will be regarded as a god by the 'scavengers'."

It turned out to be the case.

The same existence is regarded as two different factions of justice and evil.

Those who are hostile to the world will be classified as evil.

Those who are close to the world are classified as righteous.
