"We adventurers will be resurrected, have you forgotten?" Sherlock said dotingly.
"But, but..."
"But it's time for you to have a good rest."
"I..." Huayedi was about to retort when a sudden feeling of exhaustion suddenly emerged, and she fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
"Just sleep one night and you'll be fine." Deluna said feebly. His condition was not much better than Huayedi's. The ritual just now consumed too much of his magic power.
"Thank you very much this time." Sherlock said gratefully. He took a quick glance and saw the two skills of Diamond Wood and Activated Plant in the skill list. The results were much better than what he expected.
"Between friends, there is no need to say thank you."
"So, we are friends?"
"From the moment you saved Mona, we were."
"I thought you would only make friends with pure girls."
"Theoretically speaking, pure girls are indeed more likely to win our favor."
"Is she such a girl?"
When Druna heard the sound, he saw a girl wearing a green leaf skirt looking at him innocently, with a hint of cunning in her clear eyes.
"Well, your hobbies are very unique."
"It's okay, don't you think this dress looks good?" Sherlock said and turned around to show off the bow on his waist.
"Doesn't it feel weird to ask a unicorn if its clothes are nice?"
"That's right, but you don't wear any clothes, wouldn't you be shy when meeting outsiders?"
"Have you ever thought about wearing clothes after your natural transformation?"
"Uh..." Sherlock suddenly stopped.
It's okay to have something that I don't want to have, but now when I think about myself appearing naked in front of everyone after my natural transformation, I suddenly feel a little shuddering.
"Actually, it's nothing. Normal people wouldn't think so much about it."
"What about in the eyes of abnormal people?"
"You'll know just by looking at what you're thinking now."
"Ugh—" Sherlock suddenly felt a little nauseous. He was afraid that he would never dare to use his natural transformation again: "Stop talking."
"But you are still normal. Some druids will be particularly excited when they realize this."
"Please stop it, Deluna! Aren't we supposed to go to kindergarten?"
"actually……"
"That's enough—"
…
In order not to be further contaminated by Druna, Shylock finally refused the invitation to stay one night in Furino and ran back to school.
He wanted to use the alchemy to cleanse his soul, but the external communicator rang first.
As soon as he got through, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
"Cindy, what do you want from me?" Sherlock didn't really like video calls, especially when playing games.
"Open the door!" Cindy said with a pale face.
"What door do you open?"
"What do you think?"
Looking at the house number that appeared on the screen, Sherlock finally remembered where the familiar background behind Cindy was: "Why are you here?"
"So, you're not going to let me in?"
"Wait for me." Although Sherlock didn't know Cindy's purpose of coming, he would naturally not let her in if she was a friend.
After exiting the game and looking through the bay window of the room, he realized that it was still late at night in the real world, and it seemed to be raining heavily.
I hurriedly ran out of the room, opened the door and saw a girl in a black dress squatting in the corner, still wet.
"Cindy?" Sherlock looked at the back, and suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu as if he was dating online: "Is that you?"
"Cindy?"
"Cindy?"
Sherlock stepped forward cautiously, and just as he was about to pat the other person's shoulder, the girl fell into his arms.
Under the gauze skirt soaked by the rain, there is a body that is cold to the bone.
If it weren't for the rapid and weak breathing, Sherlock would have thought he was hugging a corpse.
"Cindy, what's wrong with you? Number 11, call the emergency department..." Sherlock only felt a little cold touch on his lips, and his mind suddenly went blank.
"It's just a fever, don't send me to the hospital." Cindy tilted her head and leaned on Sherlock's shoulder.
Drowsily, she felt like she was being picked up, and then her body was being moved around.
Finally, as a wave of warmth hit her, she finally couldn't hold back the sleepiness and passed out.
…
The next morning, Cindy woke up from her dream. Before she could recall the beauty of her dream, her heart was filled with an inexplicable panic.
Or maybe she was confused due to fever, and her memory of last night was very vague.
Now when she woke up, she found herself lying on a strange bed with her clothes changed. She didn't even dare to think about what happened last night.
"Miss Cindy, you wake up."
Cindy was shocked. She looked around and found that the person speaking was a Galaxy 250 robot butler: "Where is this?"
"My home and that of my master."
"Who is your master?" Cindy asked nervously
"Lei Dabiao."
"No, it's impossible. I remember I called Sherlock. How is that possible?" Cindy was not sure whether what she remembered was true: "Isn't this Unit 3601, Building 36, Forgotten Country Community?"
“This is indeed Building 36 with 3 units, but it’s not 3601, but 3602.”
"How could this happen?" Cindy's face turned pale, and she didn't care that she was only wearing a shirt, and ran out the door barefoot.
But as soon as she ran out of the room, she heard footsteps stopping outside the door.
Ding!
At this moment, Cindy's heart seemed to have stopped beating nervously.
Then, fear, regret, resentment and other emotions surged up together, and tears were already rolling in his eyes.
"Cindy, you're awake."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the door.
Cindy raised her head and saw the figure who had appeared in her mind countless times looking at her with confusion.
"Sherlock, is that you?" she asked tremblingly.
"Although my appearance in the game is a little bit heightened, it's not unrecognizable." As Sherlock said, a gust of fragrant wind rushed into his arms.
"I thought..." Cindy couldn't help sobbing.
"Why?"
"It's nothing, haha!" Cindy stepped away and said with a smile through tears.
Sherlock suppressed the joy in his heart and asked calmly: "What happened last night? Why did you come to me suddenly?"
"Last night was my concert..."
"Oh - yes, yes, your concert." Sherlock glanced at No. 11, hoping that the other party could come out and explain.
However, No. 11 seemed to have not seen it and walked into the kitchen on his own: "Axia, I'll prepare lunch for you."
"So, did you go?" Cindy asked.
"Well...I actually really want to go."
"oh."
"You came here to see me in the rain just because of this."
"I had a fight with my agent last night, and when I ran out, I realized that I had nowhere else to go in Hangzhou, so I came to find you."
"Then do you want to finish eating before leaving?"
"Who said I was leaving? I finally found an excuse to run away. Of course I need to take a good rest for a few days."
"What's so good about resting at my house?" Sherlock asked puzzled.
"Play games." Cindy suddenly turned her head and said with a smile: "Take me with you~"
