Late at night, the street lamps on both sides of the school palace street are lit up from the central square to the gate, reflecting a figure wandering idly in the campus. Because it was the height of summer, the students' clothes were particularly cool. The boys hooked up with each other and discussed whether to go to the second floor of the union tonight to have two catties of skewers and a glass of ice ale to cool off, and by the way, they peeked at the girls' white skin. Most of the girls gathered in front of the snack stalls, watching the sweet jam sprinkled by the stall owner on the shaved ice, while silently calculating how many calories they would consume during this meal.

Tonight's Dream Soul Academy Palace is another peaceful day, and there is no food to eat, so everyone has to solve it on their own. Because the canteen of the school palace is chartered, a small flag of "receiving foreign guests" is planted at the door.

The largest wooden table in the center of the first floor of the Food Banquet Palace was full of all kinds of delicacies, all of which were personally prepared by the top chef of the School Palace, who never cooked easily. From a dazzling array of meats to fruits and vegetables, and even more so is the cow and camel cuisine that Gakunomiya is famous for. The selected beef and camel are all of the highest quality, the meat is as tender as a fish belly, and the fragrant gravy flows slowly along the cut surface. The dish is complemented by an amber "Guila Brew", which reflects the light from the translucent ice cubes in the glass.

Friendship first, competition second, although it is the loser, but the Kentder side maintains the bearing that the second school palace should have, but the image is not very good. Frachki's head was wrapped in bandages and wrapped like a rice dumpling with white hair. The vine flower is even more miserable, she is used as a meat shield and is pushed to the dining table in a wheelchair. Hong Li couldn't speak for the time being, because he had cut his throat. As for the captain Michal, he was not injured, and he happily walked around Lan Borou to try to fight the snail. But overall, everyone doesn't hold any grudges, and the atmosphere is very harmonious with everyone in the ghost class.

There was only one person who didn't attend, Mono. She was sitting on the steps at the back door of the Banquet Palace, burying her head in her knees. With his hands crossed over his shoulders, he clutched the thin, transparent wings of the arrowheads, as if to tear them off.

Compared to the bustle inside the cafeteria, there are only a few owls cooing outside. A few fireflies fluttered up in the lawn, as if trying to give her some warmth around her. Mono looked up and smiled, touching them with the tentacles on top of his head, "It's okay, thank you." ”

The fireflies still didn't seem at ease, but the next second they scattered back into the lawn. Mo Nuo was surprised when the side of his face was suddenly touched by something cold, and when she looked up, Yang Haohui was shaking the ice wine glass in her hand at her.

"Can you communicate with insects?" Yang Haohui asked, "Do you drink?" although I don't know if the Yuan Demon can drink alcohol. ”

"If you don't study well at a young age, we're all still students. Mono said this, but took the glass with a smile.

"So I'm drinking juice. Yang Haohui shook the cup in his other hand at Mono and sat down next to her.

"Do you want to have a snail with your senior sister? The snail fan has already given it to you, and I don't see you call me one. ”

"It's not. ”

"Do you want to make friends with my senior sister, or do you want that 'compensation'?" Mo Nuo pursed his lips, "Although you are quite handsome and have a good figure, junior brother, after all, you have children, and you can't mess around with flowers and grass." ”

"No, I don't have children. ”

"It's not like I'm here to ask my senior sister about it, stingy boys aren't welcome. Mono rubbed Yang Haohui's hair, "Besides, you've all dressed us up, don't worry if we all win." ”

"Well, it's a win. ”

Mono was helpless, Yang Haohui was very sullen when he first saw him. At that time, she was still very careful to consider whether her disguise had been exposed, and now it seems that she is really worried. They didn't really have a lot of contact, and Mono couldn't find anything to talk about.

The two of them looked at the fireflies flying in the grass in front of them, and they were silent, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward for a while.

Yang Haohui drank the juice one after another, as if he was hesitating about something. After hesitating for a long time, he finally put down the cup as if he had made up his mind: "There is a story I want to tell." ”

"Oh, the way the junior accosted me is very innovative. Mono smiled, "Tell me about it." ”

"A long time ago, in a certain forest in the Western Metaverse, there was an arrow butterfly that gained its intelligence by chance and turned into a primordial demon. Because it's a female worm, it's a girl. The lifespan of the meta-demon is much longer than that of normal humans, while the arrow butterfly only has a lifespan of about six years as an insect meta-beast. When her parents die of old age, the girl is overwhelmed. But every life has a desire to learn about the unknown, although she is not familiar with the world and is afraid, but after thinking about it for a long time, she still made a decision, that is, to go to the human world to see. ”

The smile on Mono slowly faded.

Later, she unexpectedly performed an awakening ritual and was lucky enough to obtain the Yuan Energy that most Yuan Demons couldn't learn. It was then that she suddenly thought of becoming a guard, because she had heard that being a guard was a profession that could help others. She loves this new and wonderful world and wants to do her part to protect it. But the world ...... I don't love her. ”

After disdainful efforts, she got her wish and was admitted to a fairly good Guards University Palace, and entered the best combat class in it. But she was not welcomed by the people there, because she had tentacles, compound eyes, and wings. There are many reasons, but they can also be said in one word, because she is a metademon. There is a saying that you may not have heard, if you are not of my race, their hearts will be different. ”

"Don't say it. Mono's voice trembled.

"But the girl is still trying to fit in with the class, trying to make everyone like her. She learned to hide her tentacles in her bangs, to cover her compound pupils with contact lenses, to dress with her wings folded, and even to give herself a human name in the style of the Western Metaverse. But the attitude of the people in the class has only improved slightly, and they have always been lukewarm. It's still because of that reason that she is a Yuan Demon, and everyone in the class also calls her a somewhat insulting 'bug'. ”

The girl didn't complain, she just silently changed herself, and she believed that one day she would be able to mingle with the people in her class. But until that day, all her efforts were ruined. ”

"Say no more. Mono's body began to tremble, and his tone was almost pleading.

"Let me finish. Yang Haohui's tone was still flat, "There is a boy in the girls' class, who is her class president, a boy who is quite smart but always gets carried away by emotions. One day, he was very excited to announce in the class that he had found the love of his life and introduced it to everyone. The girl is happy for him, but in an accident she sees the boy's girlfriend going in and out of the hotel with another man. ”

She used her blood-based abilities and tentacle perception to investigate, and eventually found the girl...... No, it should be a woman, just a habitual offender who is good at using beauty to cheat money. And the woman was actually over 60 years old, but because she was an elementalist and was too good at rejuvenation, she didn't let the boy notice. The boy's family was too poor to support the woman. So under the woman's temptation, the boy began to use his own gold essence as real money for the woman to squander. And that disgusting woman interacted with a boy just because she valued the boy's ability to make gold. ”

"Girls don't have a love for boys, and they understand that they shouldn't meddle. But she was angry, she couldn't control it, she couldn't watch her friend go down the wrong path step by step. So one day, she took advantage of the boy's time to bring the woman to the class to play, and slapped the evidence collected with the conjug in front of the woman, hoping that she would stop there. But the woman did not panic, and she took out her nude photos with the boy as a threat to keep the girl secret, otherwise the boy would be ruined. Yang Haohui paused at this point, "In the end, the girl didn't let anyone know about it, including the boy. Not only because of nude photos, but also because she didn't want the boy to know that the person she loved was a completely rotten person, and she wanted to protect the boy's most innocent yearning for love. So in desperation, the girl did something stupid...... She used her own blood to exchange an important document in the school palace for a woman's hand and forged a theft. ”

Mono bit his lip until blood oozed out.

"For students majoring in guards, crime is an easier thing to do. The girl is smart and every step is seamless. The woman was arrested, and the woman's history was found, and the boy was completely safe. But when the girl tried to destroy the pile of blank documents in exchange, the boy happened to break it. With tears in her face, the boy asked her why she did this, but the girl couldn't say it, she didn't want the boy to know the cruel truth, so she just pretended to be cold and fierce...... Because she's human...... In order to protect the boys, she played the kind of racist person she hated the most. ”

"What the girl did was condemned and spurned by all who knew her. The school palace did not speak out in order to save face, and the woman did have a criminal record, so she was not heavily punished. But the act of planting is already there, and the girl can no longer be a guard. After several discussions, the school palace gave a condition, winning the exchange competition, a sum of money to write off the matter, or...... Dropped out of school and could no longer serve as a guard for the rest of his life. Yang Haohui tilted his head, "But even if he is disgusted by humans, misunderstood by everyone, hated by his friends who want to be close to the most, and is stigmatized as hating humans." The girl just took all the grievances alone and did not explain a word to anyone. Because she must make the boy hate herself, only then can the boy live innocently and happily...... Mono, this girl is you!"

There was a crisp sound of "whoosh", and Yang Haohui was splashed with wine head-on.

"Is that interesting, junior?!" Mono shouted uncontrollably, "You have the courage, don't you! You peeked at my memories while I was unconscious!"

"Yes, I have the Emperor's Spirit, and it's easy to check the memory of a Yuan Demon who can't use his strength. The wine flowed down Yang Haohui's forehead, but he didn't wipe it, staring straight into Mono's eyes.

Mono gasped for a long time, and suddenly as if deflated, he whispered, "I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay, just take a shower. Yang Haohui paused and said, "I'm sorry." ”

"So, what can I do?" said Morno, looking up at the washed night sky, "I've already lost, and I'll never have a chance to be a guard again." ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't know at the time, otherwise I would have let you win. ”

"It doesn't really make sense, and the result is the same. Winning is nothing more than not having to drop out of school, and having a criminal record is basically equivalent to ruining the future for the guards. Mono shook his head absently and laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's just that I made my own mistakes, so I have to try it one last time." ”

"Don't you really want to explain it clearly? The withdrawal clause could have been revoked. Yang Haohui said.

"No, no, no, Michal will definitely cry, make trouble, and hang himself, and he will be annoyed to watch. Mo Nuo stretched out a finger and pointed at Yang Haohui's forehead, "Don't say it, so that Senior Sister can still be friends with you." ”

"I didn't say it, only the people in my class knew the truth. Yang Haohui sighed, "After all, what you have always insisted on and maintained, is Michal's hatred for you." ”

"Thank you, junior brother, you are so sweet. Mono looked at the sky with his empty glass in his mouth.

"Why do humans hate the primordial demon?" I also encountered a primordial demon before, and this is also the case. I thought it was just beasts hating humans, but it looks like it's the other way around. ”

"I don't know the specifics. Mo Nuo took off the wine glass, wrapped it around his knees and shook it gently, "It's just that before I left the forest after my transformation, I heard some old demons mention it, and they are basically Wang Bajing." It seems that after the end of the war, our race took advantage of the heavy casualties of the human race to launch a 'Great Beast Tide', but it was quickly suppressed. But it seems that a lot of people still died, and half of the land the size of the Metaverse was blood, and crops could not be grown for several years...... Racial resentment is hard to get rid of, but I don't think it's all for this reason, after all, it's been so long. ”

"At the end of the day, it's because I'm a metademon. You haven't stepped out of the gates of the Academy yet, and you don't know how many humans hate us. Mono shrugged, "Just like you said, if you are not of my race, their hearts will be different." ”

Yang Haohui was silent, he looked at Mono with a relaxed face, but he felt a heavy heart.

"Junior brother, I'm really disgusted with my wings. Mono laughed again, but his voice was a little hoarse, "Because of this pair of ugly things, I will never be able to be a human being." I really wanted to cut it off, but it hurt too much halfway through, so I gave up, and now I think about it...... Hahaha, I still won't talk about it, it's disgusting to say this during the meal. ”

"Do you really want to be human?" asked Yang Haohui.

"Yes, all the time. Mono raised his eyes to his tentacles and flicked his hand, "I'm proud of my race, this is the body that Mom and Dad gave me. And it can fly, has blood, has super regenerative ability, and has a strong body and lives for a long time, only occasionally...... Still a little envious of human beings. Envy their wisdom, envy their abundance of emotions, envy their ...... You can live in the world without any pretense. ”

Then she scratched her forehead and said with a wry smile: "Senior sister can't do it, she has to fold her wings every day, which is more tiring than a fat man with abdominal muscles." ”

"There's no need. Yang Haohui frowned slightly.

"But only in this way, others won't dislike me, after all, I'm a very annoying Yuan Demon. Always alone...... It's sad. Mono stretched, his waist curved as soft as a spring mountain, "Okay, okay, don't have this expression." I had a great chat with you, let's go back to dinner, let's ...... later. See you soon. ”

Mono got up on his knees and began to slowly vibrate his wings. After losing the exchange match, she has no place to go. Anyway, I used to be a butterfly primordial beast flying everywhere in the forest, and now I'm just back to square one...... Haha, that's weird. I've figured it out, but why I want to cry a little. Hold back, you can't let the juniors see the joke at the end.

But just as she was about to take off, Yang Haohui grabbed her wrist and said with indescribable force.

"My adopted daughter is the Yuan Demon. ”

To be continued......
