After entertaining the guests with a full meal and wine, Li Nian sent the guests to the entrance, and Kagura bowed to him with some embarrassment to thank him.

"Thank you for your hospitality, sorry for the trouble."

Li Nian waved his hand.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Huang Quan laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

"You say this with a reluctant expression, alas, this person, you are so stingy."

"Kagura, look, the guy who was just treated to a good meal just now said that."

"Sister Huangquan, this is very rude."

"What's the matter, Kagura, don't mind so much with this person."

"Hey, mind me."

"I'll be back next time."

“…… Are you getting thicker and thicker in the face of me? ”

"What's the matter, isn't it just a matter of more pairs of chopsticks."

“…… So are you qualified to say that? Forget it, it's good for you to be happy, and you don't send it away if you go slowly. ”

Huang Quan and Kagura left with smiles on their faces.

"Well, am I too forgiving."

Li Nian closed the door, scratched her hair and whispered, turning to meet Lumia's eyes.

I am being looked at softly.

“…… What's that look in your eyes? ”

Lumia smiled and shook her head.

"Nothing."

"Yo, Miss Lumia will sell off now, too?"

Li Nian walked past her and walked towards the living room, and Lumia followed, continuing with a smile.

"I want to say Mr. Li, you are really a good person."

"Another good guy card, yes, I'm a good guy. But good people can't get used to children, and it's not good to develop the habit of being lazy and lazy. ”

"Isn't it good?"

“…… No, just kidding, adding two more pairs of chopsticks is really not a big deal. ”

"Sure enough, I'm very happy, tired?"

"The goosebumps are back up...... Said don't associate me with that kind of soft words, I'm neither arrogant nor coquettish, I'm more curious about how you see the word happy from my face, you yourself use interrogative sentences? ”

Although if you want to say happy or not, it is still happy? But Li Nian prefers a clean environment to a lively one.

"Hee-hee."

“…… What a giggle. ”

I always feel like I've lost somewhere.

Li Nian sat down on the sofa, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, and tuned to the TV station that was broadcasting political current affairs to stop and watch the news.

Lumia also sat down on the other side, staring at the TV screen with him.

Li Nian observed her from the corner of his eye.

Lumia stared intently at the screen, exclamating as the picture changed, but it was obvious that she didn't understand what the announcer was saying.

She's just curious about everything.

Li Nian sighed in his heart.

Speaking of which, it has been more than 20 days since she came to her.

In some aspects of modern life, she is more accustomed to it.

But Li Nian knew that this was just getting used to it, strictly speaking, this was not integrating into it.

Li Nian did not restrict her freedom, and she often went out because she knew that she was measured in her heart and would not run around, and indeed these days, except for the time when she and Huang Quan bought clothes for Lumia, Lumia can be said to have not taken half a step out of the house.

She just stayed quietly—quietly waiting for Li Nian to find a way to separate the "darkness".

She once said that she didn't want to make trouble with Li Nian, she did it, and she did it very well.

She was very cooperative.

Of course, the fit is good, but ......

But how?

It doesn't seem to be like that.

There weren't many options for her, she waited quietly, and she could only wait quietly.

There are a lot of problems in the relationship right now.

Li Nian himself knows it.

It's fine that time is short, but when it becomes long......

This is not going to be the way to go.

So will time become long?

This is a question he should ask himself, because whether or not it lasts depends on whether he can find a way to redeem the man-eating monster in front of him sooner.

Ah, the thought of this gives me a headache.

It's just too much trouble.

Because there are as many problems as mountains ahead.

"Lumia."

"Huh?"

Li Nian called out to her, attracting her to look at her blankly.

"Ask you a question......

"What?"

Li Nian looked at the TV with a calm expression, but he was considering the words in his heart, and paused for a second before he lightly dropped such a sentence.

"You're almost homesick, aren't you?"

Lumia's expression froze on her face.

She lowered her gaze, the corners of her mouth curled into a bitter arc, but she shook her head.

"I don't have a home."

"What do you mean?"

"I have no place to live, no place to call home."

"That's right...... At least there's a place to go back to. ”

“……”

"Anyone else you'd like to meet?"

That's what Lumia said to him, crying and saying that she had a place she wanted to go back to, that she wanted to go back to someone.

“…… Can this also be called homesickness? ”

"It's the same as being homesick."

“…… Then I do feel homesick, a little bit. ”

Of course.

"You're not asking a question," the pupil said.

"Speaking of this, Mr. Li, are you trying to ask something?"

"I do have something to say."

Lumia raised her gaze to look at Li Nian, her face full of doubt.

Li Nian put down the remote control, thought for a moment, and then said.

"You are free, Lumia."

Lumia was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Li Nian was referring to.

She shook her head and smiled wryly.

"Is that the thing that I've been in the house? I just don't really want to go out. ”

"Why?"

"Because...... I have the realisation of being a youkai. ”

“……”

Because it's a youkai, it's not a good thing to be outside, of course.

Non-human races are hostile to human beings, this is common sense, even in the world on Li Nian's side, he was taught by his teacher Lingyun to have the obligation to exorcise demons and eliminate demons when he was a child-

The hostile relationship between humans and non-humans does exist.

It is true that there is room for maneuver and compromise in between, and in the era in which Li Nian lived in the past, there was a set of rules that constrained both sides.

However, judging from the attitude of Spordaya, there is no consensus on peaceful coexistence between Japan here.

Li Nian also laughed bitterly.

Lumia walked out, and once her identity was detected, it was difficult to ensure that she would not cause a fight.

“…… Yes, it's a real problem. ”

"I don't want to cause Mr. Li any more trouble."

And sure enough, she still adheres to this principle.

Li Nianmo rubbed the fine stubble on his chin, a little embarrassed.

"I don't think it's good for you to stay in this house all the time? It looks like you're constantly looking bored. ”

Lumia smirked.

"I've always been like this and often feel bored, but I've lived for hundreds of years, and I'm used to it."

“……”

There seems to be some truth to that.

The spiritual world of the immortal species is something that a "young man" like Li Nian can't quite understand, just as he can't quite understand Heartunderblade's heart of death.

Li Nian does know some guys who have lived for a long time, but with those individuals, he doesn't have much communication except for work-related business, and he doesn't have much sense of their thoughts.

Because Lumia feels stupid and not so steady, Li Nian knows that she is a monster with a long life, but she always inadvertently ignores this when she gets along, sees more of her fragile side, and faintly regards her as a junior.

Now that Lumia mentioned it herself, Li Niancai suddenly realized that compared with the life span of the person in front of him, the days of dozens of days were as short as a white horse.

The twenty-nine years I have spent don't seem to be enough to look at in comparison......

Kindness...... Suddenly I felt as if I had no position to preach......

He frowned.

He frowned and stared at Lumia, as if he were about to make an eye for a flower.

Maybe it was a mistake to think that there was a harsh one inside, Lumia looked at her eyes a little evasively, and said again in a panic.

"No, though, it's a bit boring when you're alone."

“…… Obviously a few hundred years old? ”

“…… Even if you say that, Mr. Li, I'll be angry. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I shouldn't be human by my standards......"

Li Nian raised his eyebrows, and suddenly became a little curious, so he asked more.

"So, it really has to be calculated according to the lifespan of the corresponding race? Even if you are a human being, will the difference in growth stage be reflected in your appearance? ”

"Huh? That's usually the case......"

"So you're actually quite young in comparison?"

Because she looks like a girl who is no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Well, my words, there is no race to compare...... I think I'm past adulthood. There has been no natural growth in power for many years. ”

"Well......" Li Nian muttered: "That is, you can't judge based on appearance, right, it is true that a certain old woman looks like an otome." ”

“…… Do you mean purple? ”

"Huh? Oh, yes. Did I guess wrong? ”

"No, it's not ......"

"That guy has been practicing for at least a thousand years, so he should have lived for a long time, right? I think it's definitely an old woman. ”

"Yes, yes, but it's better not to talk about your age in front of me."

"Why?"

Li Nian was puzzled.

“…… Would-"

―― will be thrown into the gap.

It doesn't seem to apply to the person in front of you.

"What will happen?"

"Nothing."

“…… In short, that woman must have passed menopause, right? ”

“……”

"That's the typical cunning of old treacherous and cunning...... Lumia don't be like that in the future. ”

"I'm stupid, not as smart as Purple."

"Well, too."

“…… I would like to deny it. ”

"No, no, I don't think you're going to be like that...... Where the topic goes, don't talk about the person. Sure enough, it's usually boring. ”

“…… It's just a time for a person, a time for a person...... Somewhat lonely. ”

As she spoke, the blonde girl blushed a little.

A person can feel lonely......

"Like a little ghost, sure enough, you're still a child?"

"It's too much! It's serious here, alas! ”

"Adults have to learn to enjoy solitude."

“…… Can't understand Mr. Lee's thoughts. ”

"Hahaha, just kidding."

Li Nian smiled, then restrained his smile, lowered his gaze, and thought a little.

"But a person can be lonely......"

"Hmm~~~...... Any questions. ”

Lumia puffed out her cheeks, and she was still a little relieved that Li Nian was a child when she was a child.

"I'm starting school."

"Going to school?"

Sure enough, I don't know what school is.

"In the future, I will go out early in the morning and come back in the afternoon, which means that I will often leave you home alone."

"I'm okay."

"Obviously say that a person will be lonely?"

Li Nian's tone was a little narrow, and Lumia pouted.

"Please, don't hold on to that."

"It's okay if you walk outside."

"I don't want to go out."

"It's not that you don't want to, but you don't think you can't."

"Yes, I think it's better not to go out."

"There is no such thing, there are not so many monks as there are all over the streets, there should be only a few people involved in the industry in this city, most of them you still know, such as Huangquan and Kagura, and I also said hello to Sibo."

Talk to the Seven Heroes Shrine again, even if she is seen by the spiritual vision of Wanli Valley, there should be no one to embarrass her.

"But, the others ......"

"Since you know that you are causing trouble for me, you should also know that you are now under my protection, and there are people you don't know who are attacking you, and you report my name, saying that there is a martial god covering you, and whoever moves you is my enemy."

"Huh? But ......"

"You don't really have any other scruples other than you don't want to cause me trouble, do you?"

"Huh?"

"Who would the Yokai that have been crisscrossing for hundreds of years be afraid of?"

I've always been very kind when I get along, but even so, Rumia's past is a notorious man-eating monster.

Seeing that she only shot once, it was in the confrontation with Heartunderblade, and she helped her, intercepting the blade once, and she couldn't see much.

But Li Nian felt that Lumia should be quite capable of fighting if she became serious.

“…… Even if you say so. Lumia looked confused, "I don't know what I can do when I go out alone." ”

Li Nian took out a 10,000-yuan bill from Fukuzawa Yuji and slapped it on the table.

"Now, for example, you can go to the store over there and buy candy to eat, and by the way, bring me a can of MAX coffee, which is the yellow can that I drink a lot."

Let's start with shopping.

"Why buy candy to eat, really still treat me like a child......"

Lumia muttered awkwardly, but still picked up the bill and stood up, and walked to the entrance.

The sound of the door closing came.

She left.

The expression on Li Nian's face gradually faded, his expression became indifferent, and his eyes sharpened.

"Is it okay to forget the pain of the scar? How long has it been before you dare to appear in front of me? ”

His words fell, and next to the sofa on the side of the coffee table, the space rippled, and a gap appeared, which suddenly opened into the shape of an eye.

The blonde beauty slowly walked out of the gap and sat down leisurely in front of the sofa.

"Long time no see, Mr. Li."
