Chapter 11: Slipping Away

The two walked side by side, walking along the secluded road in the direction of the Sanzenin mansion.

The footpath is wide, but rather deserted and uninhabited. Because this road leads directly to the house of the Sanzenin family, it is pointless for ordinary people to go this way if it is not necessary.

The streets are breezy at night, between spring and summer, the stars in the sky are incomparably bright, and the brilliant Milky Way is magnificent and magnificent......

"Don't talk nonsense, how can you still see the stars in the night sky in this era, unless it's in a small rural place."

Gui Daisy said a little helplessly, and she also raised her head to look at the night sky-

But I could only see a gray patch, and there were only a few sparse stars.

Ever since Edison's invention of the light bulb began to light up the world, most humans have said goodbye to the starry sky at night, and more than 60% of the earth's skies are shrouded in dusk light pollution.

City lights always block out the faint rays of light from far away, and when artificial light hits places where they are not needed, it forms what is known as light pollution.

Originally, without the use of telescopes, more than 8,000 stars would have been visible to the naked eye at night, of which as many as 4,000 could have been seen at the same time. Nowadays, however, people living in big cities are ...... even on cloudless nights

At most, there are only one or two hundred stars that can be seen.

- People who do not have particularly good eyesight, and can only see dozens or a dozen.

The funniest thing is that in 1994, a massive earthquake hit Los Angeles, California, causing a massive power outage in the city.

Then in the days that followed, many residents reported seeing a huge silver halo stretching out in the night sky, fearing that the mysterious sight was related to the earthquake.

However, the truth is that these people have lived in big cities with bright lights all their lives, and few have ever seen the stars, and they have certainly never seen such a cloud of light in the night sky.

In fact, it is a huge galaxy that has been burning for hundreds of millions of years......

Mu Xiu stretched his waist first, he showed a confident smile and said, "Just because you can't see it doesn't mean I can't see it, the stars in the night sky are indeed very beautiful...... Would you like to take a look, Daisy-san? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What do you think? I can't see. ”

The pink-haired girl still couldn't help but cast a curious gaze, she subconsciously thought of the night of her birthday before, a little nervous, but more expectant.

What is he going to do? Or fly with yourself? No matter how many times you go through that experience, it feels amazing.

The feeling at the height turned out to be so good, and the mood seemed to become cheerful, but unfortunately if I was alone, I would still be afraid of heights.

However, there are people who will never understand the amorous -

"It's actually very simple, as long as I first cut off all the electricity in the city, and then ......," Mu Xiu turned around and stopped, raised his fist and said solemnly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Wait, wait! If that's the case, then it's better to skip it! ”

The expectant expression on Gui Daisy's face suddenly froze, and she smiled a little weakly, then bit her lower lip and glanced to the side in annoyance.

"Huh? Aren't you interested in Daisy-san? Actually, it's not a hassle, it's just a blink of an eye, and it may take a little time to cut off the power of the whole world......"

Mu Xiu explained to the girl very understandingly, wanting to make the other party relax.

"Are you stupid?"

The pink-haired girl was finally a little dissatisfied, she clenched her fist and slapped Mu Xiu's head hard: "Give me a little bit of moderation!" ”

"Well, this method looks like Daisy-san, you don't like it very much......"

Mu Xiu tilted his head obediently, then smacked his lips with a smile, and then he saw Gui Daisy speed up his pace, and turn directly to the left on the fork in the road in front of him.

"Huh? Wait, Daisy-sanβ€”"

He also quickened his pace and followed, looking around with a little curiosity: "Is this the way to go to the Three Thousand Courtyards, why do I feel that I have a little ...... Wrong? ”

The young man recalled, expressing his doubts, although he hadn't been here many times, but his memory would not have such an error, right?

"Of course not, I'm just going to get my sister back first, because there's an izakaya on this road, so my sister often goes there to drink because it's very close......"

Gui Daisy walked in front and explained without looking back, and she couldn't help but show a rather tangled expression about this.

"I just called and asked, my sister has already left, but she hasn't arrived yet, so I guess I'm here to drink."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"That's the case, I think it's normal for Mr. Gui to do this kind of thing......

Mu Xiu touched his chin, and then showed a rather understanding expression.

"I don't want to see her so 'normal' at all!"

The tavern, as the Gui Daisy said, was indeed not far ahead, and there seemed to be no guests at this time, so it seemed a little deserted.

Mu Xiu and Gui Daisy easily found Teacher Gui in it, in fact, Gui Xuelu was the only one in the izaka, and she was obviously drunk, her cheeks were red, and she was full of alcohol.

As Gui Daisy said, she knows her sister very well, or is this also because Gui Xuelu's kind of guy with a tendon brain is too easy to understand?

When the two of them came behind Gui Xue Road, she had just "gurgling", and under the gaze of the two of them with black lines, she poured a whole bottle of wine very boldly.

"Huh? How, why is it gone...... Finished drinking, hehehehe......"

Then, she put down the bottle and shook it a few times, and then as if she understood something, she slapped the table suddenly, her eyes were red, and she shouted loudly.

"-Boss, get the money!!"

Muxiu: "......"

Gui Daisy: "......"

The owner of the izakaya was a middle-aged man with a beard and a tall and muscular body, but it didn't help.

It's about Gui Xuelu's eyes emitting red light, like a rampaging first machine, which is too scary, making people suspect that as long as she doesn't do what she says, she will immediately put it in a bowl and eat it.

So the boss could only say with a trembling face: "That, that, it's okay to say about the wine, but it's too ...... to pay for it."

"Leave her alone, she's already drunk stupid......" Gui Daisy said with a cold face, and then stepped forward and grabbed Gui Xuelu's ear in annoyance.

"What should I do next, do I want to take Teacher Gui back, or continue to go to the Three Thousand Courtyards?"

Mu Xiu glanced at the clock in the izakaya, then sighed, but said unhurriedly. Because time is not tight, and it is not said that it is anything particularly important.

"Is there anything you can do to keep her awake?"

The pink-haired girl helped the drunk Gui Xuelu up in distress, turned around and asked.

Mu Xiu thought for a moment, then stepped forward, blocking the sight of the izakaya owner with the help of the two people's bodies. He held out his index finger, and there was a palpable flash of electricity on his fingertips.

"Wowβ€”β€”!! What's wrong, what's wrongβ€”β€”!! ”

A very gaffe scream sounded, startling the izakaya owner.

Under the control of Mu Xiu's supernatural electromagnetic force, the electric glow only stimulated Gui Xuelu, making her sober up all of a sudden, and subconsciously screamed.

"Sister, you give me a little more normal, it's really rude to yell like this......"

And Gui Daisy, who was holding her sister, didn't feel anything at all, she just reprimanded her unsuccessful sister with a black face.

……

……

It wasn't until after nine and twenty o'clock in the evening that Mu Xiu finally arrived at his destination.

and saw the debtor butler waiting outside the door of the villa of the Three Thousand Yuan House to greet the guests, but the latter's expression was a little stiff, and the whole person was a little gray.

"Good evening, Ayasaki-san...... Well, I wish you a passing exam. ”

After thinking about it, he chose an opening sentence that he thought should be the most suitable for him as a greeting.

"Mu Xiu, please don't laugh at me...... President Daisy, Mr. Katsura, good evening, and welcome. ”

The debtor steward had a physically and mentally exhausted expression on his face, and after seeing who it was, although he still bowed politely and greeted him, anyone could see that the expression on his face was a little strange.

"Good eveningβ€”huh? Ayasaki-san, your face is very bad, alas, didn't the artist color you? ”

Katsura Daisy struggled a little to support the swaying Katsura Xue Lu's body, she raised her head in hindsight, and then was startled by Ayasaki's sassy state.

Obviously he was the butler of the 3000 courtyard family known as the "Humanoid Gundam", but at this moment, the whole person looked a little gray, as if he had burned out from exhaustion, and it seemed that he was about to reach the level of an out-of-body soul if he went any further.

"Yawn~"

Gui Xuelu didn't even say hello, but the whole person seemed to be pulled out of the bones, hanging on his sister's body.

At this time, she only woke up from a drunken state, and she could barely walk on her own, but the sequelae of drunkenness did not disappear so easily.

How to say, she can't even open her eyes now, barely maintaining a certain level of consciousness but her face is tired, and it seems that she may fall to the ground and die at any time...... Ahem, it's falling to the ground and falling asleep.

"No, we don't have an artist β€” no, not this. I mean, I don't have any problems resting, I get two hours of sleep a day...... It's just the eldest lady's black tea, I just took a sip of it......"

The debt steward tried his best not to make his expression so stiff, but it didn't seem to work well, and he could only sigh very melancholy. Then he looked around and said in a low voice.

"It's a bit presumptuous and rude, but can you please drink as many bottled or canned drinks as you can when you go in? Please be sure not to drink the black tea that greets guests, it is made by the eldest lady herself. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Well, Ayasaki-san, can I ask what would happen if I drank it?" Mu Xiu immediately raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.

The butler boy sighed again, his face turned a little blue, as if he didn't want to recall: "In that case, you will probably experience the wonderful journey of separation of body and soul, space distortionβ€”"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

It sounds so amazing, it's just fascinating!

At this moment, Mu Xiu and Gui Daisy's faces changed slightly for a moment, and the two glanced at each other, silently classifying the black tea of the eldest lady of the Three Thousand Courtyard into the ranks of dangerous goods.

"Okay, we know a little bit about this, but I don't understand why she makes black tea, shouldn't you or Miss Maria do this kind of thing?"

"I want to too, but the eldest lady said she needs to learn the skills of entertaining guests......" Ayasaki replied with a bitter face. It's not just black tea, but the staple dishes of tonight are all made up by herself in the kitchen. ”

"Well, I suddenly remembered that the gas in my house was not turned off, so I went back first......"
