Chapter 26: Homesickness
No matter how interested he was in Eevee's swordsmanship, it was impossible for Bai He to go directly to Eevee and say, "Hey!guy, your swordsmanship is pretty cool, can you teach me?" Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Regardless of whether Eevee can understand it or not, and whether Eevee will kill Hakuga if he understands it, the difference between master and servant between them alone is enough to make the possibility of this matter completely zero.
Moreover, Ibu had also said before that if Bai He and the others felt that they had that strength, they could try to kill him and take back the slave contract. If Bai He asks now, won't he be asking for his own death, making Ibu think that he has the intention of murder?
There is no rush in martial arts for the time being, the most important thing is to first regain his strength that disappeared inexplicably.
Looking at the handsome hearty guy in the courtyard who was wiping his sweat with the towel handed by Mei Ou, Bai He had a cold expression on his face.
Hum.
Now that Eevee's sword dance has ended, Hakuga will no longer stay here to watch him and the beast continue to do some unethical things. After cleaning the area that was currently to be cleaned in three or two, Bai He moved towards the next place that needed to be cleaned.
Speaking from the heart, Bai He is actually very unqualified as a bear child. Because he bears only in front of his parents, or rather, only bears to his parents. Don't look at him when he is around his parents, he will have to do this for a while, and he will buy that for a while. When he is around his elders or in front of outsiders, he is not only not bearish at all, but also very sensible. Therefore, Bai He's parents can often hear others compliment their son, but the couple who know how much Bai He is bear don't take these words to heart at all, and only regard them as polite words from others.
Bai He, who was often left alone at home, learned early on all kinds of housewife skills that most of his peers didn't know at all, such as cleaning being one of them. There are also other skills such as cooking, laundry, sewing, and so on. Both of his parents were very busy with work and rarely came home, and they were able to stay at home for less than ten days a month. In Bai He's daily life, the most shadowy of his parents at home is the bulging quilt on the bed in his parents' room and the living expenses pressed on the coffee table by the ashtray when he occasionally comes home.
With the money given by his parents, Bai He can live an easy life, and basically don't have to do anything. But Bai He didn't want to, deep down in his heart, he always unconsciously thought that as long as he cleaned the house, his parents would stay at home more.
In fact, even he himself would not believe this kind of thinking.
Shaking his head, Bai He scattered the scenes in his mind that were gradually embedded in his memory because of recall. Just thinking about it a little, the unpleasant feeling was already inflated in his heart.
The next place that needs to be cleaned is the guest room. In fact, to be correct, this bungalow, which no matter how Bai He looks at it, feels like a villa, and it needs to be cleaned from beginning to end. When he woke up in the morning, Bai He was still a little confused, so he didn't pay attention, and if you look closely, the house is full of dust and mold caused by being unoccupied for a long time. Places like the kitchen and bedroom were only minimally cleaned to ensure that they could be used normally, and I think it should have been made by Eevee or Meio.
Where did that dead get such a nice house?
For Bai He, who grew up in a gray cage made of reinforced concrete, he had never seen a house like this. No, he'd seen it in the anime just by watching it, but when he actually stood in such a space, he could see that it was indeed reality, and after closing his eyes, Bai He could even feel the presence of the objects around him.
This is not a dream, nor is it another world. For Bai He, all this in front of him is the reality he is facing.

Lunch was still handled by Mei Ou, and Bai He watched from the sidelines.
I don't know if it's the chef's personal preference, but the lunch and breakfast dishes are basically the same, or the stew is served with freshly baked toast.
Bai He was skeptical that this beast in heat was all about this.
Having just eaten lunch and leaving a word not to disturb him, Eevee hid in the study on the second floor of the house, to the south. Judging by the fact that he went in with a full pot of tea, this guy must have been in there for a long time.
There were no more people to serve, and Mei Ou also followed Bai He to clean the bungalow.
Although this bungalow looked big in Bai He's eyes, it was not so big that it was outrageous. If you do it seriously, Bai He can completely clean it in a day or two alone, and now with Mei Ou, the two of them will quickly clean the house. Fortunately, this house is just a lot of dust because it has not been inhabited for a long time, and there is no damage caused by disrepair, which invisibly saves two people a lot of trouble.
At first, Bai He thought she was the kind of professional maid when he saw Mei Ou so skillfully preparing meals, but soon Bai He found out that this was not the case. The jerky movements, the dust and hairy hands and feet left in the cleaned places, looking at Mei Ou who was in a hurry and confused, Bai He obviously had a trace of happiness in his heart.
Showing his feelings directly on his face was one of Bai He's shortcomings, and his under-smiling smile was quickly noticed by Meo. I also know that a beating must be indispensable, but considering that there is still work in the future, Mei Ou just glared at Bai He, kept this matter in mind, and planned to settle accounts after the autumn.
Towards dinner, the two finally worked together to clean the surface of the house. It's just that on the surface, it's because the two of them have only done a rough cleaning, and some of the places that need to be cleaned carefully can't be taken into account for the time being.
"It's beautiful. ”
At sunset, Bai He stood in the courtyard and looked at the three-cornered house dyed orange, and expressed his heartfelt admiration.
Gray stone bricks are the main composition of the house, covered with white eaves and red lines as decoration. This house, dyed orange by the setting sun, has a special beauty.
(I probably won't be able to afford to live in a house like this for the rest of my life when I stay on Earth...... )
Loneliness wells up in my heart......
(I disappeared suddenly, and my grandparents must have been very worried, and they just wanted not to hurt my body.) )
Bai He's face, standing in the sunset, gradually became darkened.
(I'm gone, those two must be having a good time...... )
With the spread of loneliness, Bai He's whole person turned into a sculpture in the sunset......
"Hey~" Not far away, a voice as sharp as a cat came.
This call broke the stagnant time on Bai He's body, dragging him out of the shadows that were about to spread throughout his body.
Bai He looked up, and a petite figure was waving to him not far away, it was Mei Ou.
Her white cat looks very beautiful under the residual sun.
Bai He was a little dazed by Mei Ou's call, his eyes swaying in the air in confusion, like a child who had just learned to walk.
Mei Ou obviously didn't notice the change in Bai He's mood, and when she saw him standing in the dark, she thought he was in a daze. One sentence is not moving, and Mei Ou, who has a somewhat irritable personality, will never call the second sentence again. She walked a few steps briskly and came to Bai He, and she didn't look at Bai He's expression, she just pulled him and walked into the house.
Being forcibly dragged by Mei Ou like this, Bai He's blank eyes completely regained their brilliance. He looked at the furry hand that was clutching his wrist with some blankness, and looked at the petite body.
Unconsciously, he broke away from the small hand that was grabbing his wrist.
Sensing Bai He's breakaway, Mei Ou looked back with questions, she wanted to see what this human was planning to do.
Night fell completely, and the surroundings were darkened. The light that came out of the room made it impossible for Bai He to see Mei Ou's current expression. But so what? Bai He could think of it on his knees, it must be a very stinky face.
The two men looked at each other like this, and neither of them spoke first.
Gollum......
The smell of dinner wafted through the air into Shiraga's nostrils, the smell of the neighbor's house. Affected by his appetite, Shiraga's stomach growled.
Forget it, whatever.
Bai He took the first step and walked towards the house, leaving Mei Ou with an inexplicable face.
(At least, I'm alive today.) )
