"It's okay, he's just a kid, and it's over now. It's normal for him to fall asleep while listening."
Index didn't care at all. Who hasn't felt that what the teacher says in class is incomprehensible, and has been distracted or even wanted to sleep?
"You should also take Ai Ge back quickly. A child of her age should be asleep by now."
"Ah."
After thanking Index, Alice carefully carried Aika out of the library and headed back towards her room.
Volume 2: Journey to the Demonic Realm: Chapter 78: Storm is coming...
Alice held Aige in her arms and walked slowly along the corridor of the castle.
The corridors of the castle are a little dim. Although there are magic lamps for lighting, it is not clear whether it is the designer's negligence or intentional. There is a considerable distance between each magic lamp, which causes the corridors to be filled with a lot of shadows. Combined with the castle's quaint decoration style, it is a bit eerie, giving a feeling of castle adventure.
It feels a bit cold, but it's understandable. After all, it's night time and there's no heater installed in the corridor, so it's normal for the temperature to be a little lower.
Thinking of this, Alice hugged Aige tighter.
As Alice walked, she suddenly saw a figure appear in front of her.
The figure seemed to have noticed them and walked towards Alice.
After both parties walked a little closer, Alice discovered that the person who came was Xiangbei, who had left after dinner saying he wanted to go out for a walk.
Xiangbei was about to speak when he saw Alice's love song. After being stunned for a moment, he spoke in a low voice.
"Miss Alice, I wonder if there is a curfew in this castle?"
Alice has a good impression of Xiangbei. She first helped Ai Ge stop Meihong when Ai Ge was born, and then helped find Ai Ge when she was lost. She is also Ai Ge's friend, often playing with her, and has a very nice personality.
So, she also answered in a low voice: "No, I wonder where Mr. Xiangbei wants to go so late at night?"
"Hey, this is my first time in the Demon Realm. I wanted to explore more, but it's getting late. I wonder if there are any rules here, so I came back to ask."
Xiangbei leaned forward, looked at Aige's sleeping face, and chuckled.
"I see. In that case, I won't bother you any more. The Demon Realm is much more lively at night than Gensokyo... But please, Mr. Xiang, don't come back too late. Tomorrow I plan to go to the sea with Ai Ge, and I really hope you can come too."
"The sea?"
Xiangbei muttered to himself.
"I've been there once before. So there's an ocean in the Demon Realm?"
"That's natural. The Demon Realm is also a real world, so naturally there is an ocean."
"I see. Okay, I'll be back soon."
"Don't worry about it so much, just have fun, Mr. Xiang."
"Don't worry, I can take care of both."
After saying that, Xiangbei gave Alice a thumbs up, nodded, threw out a piece of white cloth, and then disappeared on the spot.
“What a wonderful ability.”
Even from the perspective of a princess of the demon world, the abilities displayed by Xiang Bei are considered extremely rare and excellent, not to mention that these are the abilities of a human being.
Just like that person, that person... huh?
I feel like... I've forgotten someone, but I can't remember who...
In confusion, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure flashed through her mind.
Alice was startled and shook her head, getting rid of the feeling in her mind.
It must be the seal that mother placed on her... I always have a very strange feeling.
...I should find some time tomorrow to ask my mother what is going on.
Alice, with something on her mind, walked towards the room holding Ai Ge. Suddenly, she saw a blonde maid walking towards her.
"Ah, Lady Alice."
The blonde maid was startled at first when she saw Alice and Aige sleeping in her arms, then she quickly bowed.
"Are you... Mengyue?" Alice still remembered this former subordinate of Fengjian Youxiang. She had seen her and her sister several times when she was young.
"Hmm, is this Aika-sama? She looks like she's asleep."
Mengyue stared at Aige in Alice's arms and swallowed unconsciously.
"Do you want me to take Lady Aige back to her room?"
"No thanks." Alice shook her head and rejected Meng Yue's kindness. She and Ai Ge were the type who were not used to being served by maids. "I can do it myself."
"Oh, yeah, I see."
For some reason, Mengyue looked a little lost.
"Well, then you can go ahead and get busy."
After passing Mengyue, Alice returned to her room with Aige.
What Alice didn't know was that as they left, Mengyue was observing her with a veiled gaze. Or perhaps it was the Aige in her arms and the locked magic book tied around her waist...
……
……
He put Aige on the bed, gently covered her with a blanket, and moved her from his arms to the soft bed. This exchange did not wake Aige up. Instead, she smacked her lips, turned over, and slept even more soundly.
Alice touched Ai Ge's head lovingly and looked at her cute sleeping face. She couldn't help but come over and kissed Ai Ge's forehead lightly.
"Good night, Aige, I wish you a sweet dream tonight."
After tidying up a bit, Alice tiptoed out of the room, closed the door, and returned to her room.
What no one knew was that the stone that was supposed to be in this room was now missing.
"Click——"
In another room, the decoration is not as luxurious as that of Alice's room, but it is also comfortable and exquisite. It is a room for maids to rest and the residence of the two sisters Huanyue and Mengyue.
Mengyue closed the door and came to the living room. She saw "Huanyue" sitting on the sofa. A trace of hatred flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared and turned into a pitiful look.
"Huan Yue" raised his head and smiled when he saw Meng Yue coming back.
"How is it, have you found out everything?"
"Yes."
Mengyue lowered her head.
"Tomorrow, Her Highness Alice and Her Highness Aika will go to see the sea. Her Majesty Kamiki and Lady Yumeko will be staying in the palace to handle accumulated official business as they went to Gensokyo a few days ago, so they won't be able to go with them."
"At that time, Huanyue and I will go with the two princes as guards. The strength of the accompanying guards is relatively average. They can't compare to us, but they are not too weak either."
"Also...that human guest named Xiangbei will probably come along as well."
"Well, hard work."
"Huan Yue" nodded and played with an ordinary stone in his hand...but isn't this the stone in Ai Ge's room?
"It seems that tomorrow is indeed the best time to take action... If you miss this opportunity, you will miss this opportunity too."
"that!"
Meng Yue plucked up her courage, raised her head, and raised the volume of her voice a few degrees, but there was a tremor in her tone.
"You will keep your promise, right? You will let us go, let Huanyue go, right?"
"Ah, that's natural."
"Huan Yue" showed a strange smile and casually stuffed the stone into his pocket.
"After all, you're very weak. Killing you won't bring any benefits. After the job is done, you'll naturally be of no use to me. I'll just let you go. I won't lie to you."
Even Huanyue would not say such sarcastic words to her own sister, and Mengyue's personality would definitely make Xiao Zhenzhu feel aggrieved after hearing it.
But at this moment, Meng Yue bent down, bent her legs, and knelt down directly.
"Please..." With her hands and forehead pressed to the ground, Meng Yue's voice was already filled with tears.
"Please... let Huanyue go..."
"Tsk."
Huanyue showed a bit of impatience on his face and waved his hand.
"Don't worry, I'll keep my word. After this is done, I won't make things difficult for you two sisters."
Standing up from the sofa, "Huanyue" didn't look at Mengyue behind him anymore, and walked a few steps to the window.
Outside the window, the lights are bright, and the prosperity of a foreign city at night is like a shimmering painting.
Looking at the scenery in front of him, "Huan Yue" murmured to himself.
"If it's for you...I don't care what I do."
In the reflection of the window, the scarlet lines on "Phantom Moon" flashed by.
Volume 2: Journey to the Demonic World: Chapter 79: The Daily Episode is Coming to an End
Demon world, a new day.
Xiangbei, who had not returned home all night, yawned and returned to the room prepared for him in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.
I originally thought that Moxu Luo's [evolution] would not take much time, but it actually took a whole night, and it was not until dawn that it completely absorbed all the darkness it could contain.
But the result is also gratifying... Moxu Luo, who was originally unable to withstand even a complete Hollow Shiki, could only reach a level close to the strength of a great monster through the abilities of various Shikigami even after Xiangbei combined the power of the other eight Shikigami.
Today's Moxu Luo, in terms of physical fitness alone, has reached a level where he can fight against big monsters that are good at hand-to-hand combat. The abilities of various shikigami that have been integrated into him have also been greatly improved. He has even successfully integrated the ability of the ninth shikigami, Escape Rabbit.
At the same time, Moxu Luo can also fight by controlling the darkness flowing out of the Op Gem. Although its power is not as strong and skillful as Rumia's control of darkness, it is also very good.
In order to test Moxu Luo's current strength, he went to the north to find a more deserted place and fought with it.
Xiangbei discovered that if he did not use the ACT1 form, it would be difficult to defeat Moxu Luo even if he used the field expansion. By using the power of the ACT1 form, Moxu Luo could also deal with Xiangbei to a certain extent through various abilities.
At the same time, Moxu Luo himself also has the ability to release a slash that cuts through the world. Whether it is output, defense, vitality or the diversity of abilities, it absolutely meets Xiangbei's expectations.
The only drawback is that Moxu Luo seems unable to adapt to the slashing attack that cuts through the world... There is a limit to its adaptability after all.
But Xiangbei was already very satisfied. However, when he had tested and processed everything, it was already the next morning.
Although not sleeping all night is not good for humans, Xiangbei is not an ordinary human, so it is no problem for him not to sleep all night. He used to go to bed on time in Gensokyo because of habit and to pass the time.
After returning to the room in the castle, Xiangbei did not choose to let the maids from the demon world serve him. He went to the bathroom to take a shower first. After all, he had just fought a fierce battle with Moxu Luo.
After a simple wash and tidying himself up, Xiangbei followed the maid to the breakfast place.
……
……
Today's plan is to take Ai Ge to see the sea, but looking at the dining table in front of him, Xiang Bei feels that this matter may have to be delayed.
"Good morning, Xiangbei."
Under Alice's guidance, Aige rubbed her eyes and walked into the dining room.
"morning."
She greeted the two of them good morning. Ai Ge looked like she hadn't woken up yet, but she looked like this every morning when she woke up. She leaned lazily in Alice's arms, as if she was about to fall back asleep at any time.
At this time, Alice also saw the layout of the room clearly. She was stunned and then had a headache.
Ai Gemi opened her eyes drowsily and looked around the place where they had eaten. After she had a clear view of the layout of the room, she immediately lost all sleepiness and hid behind Alice, feeling that it was okay to skip breakfast.
I saw a wooden dining table and wooden chairs fixed together, all hung high in the air by four ropes.
Shenqi has put a lot of thought into the form of today's breakfast.
Although this is just a simple dining table, in fact, the most important parts are all on the ropes hanging on it. As long as Shenqi loosens a rope slightly, the dining table will tilt at the angle Shenqi wants. At that time, the center of gravity of Alice and Aige will be unstable and they will finally fall into her arms.
Xiao Ai, Xiao Xiao Ai, the three of them are so close together... It's really great!
"How is it!" Shenqi said to several people in a rather proud tone.
Xiangbei gave an awkward but polite smile, but Alice didn't want to pay attention to her mother who didn't know what she was thinking, and waved to Mengzi to come over.
"Yumeko, put the dining table down. We can just eat on the floor."
