Pinch your face for two hours and investigate for five minutes. By the time Summer Night returned to Lillian's house, it was nearly noon.

"I'm back!"

Lillian was nowhere to be seen in the living room, but there was a faint movement in the kitchen, and it seemed that Lillian was preparing lunch.

Summer night closed the door, took off his shoes, and walked to the kitchen on the smooth floor.

Halfway through, Lillian, wearing a light pink apron, poked her head out of the kitchen:

"Sister Summer Night, are you back...... Yes! ”

The girl exclaimed, and the spatula in her hand almost fell to the ground: "You, you, your head has grown?!" ”

"Didn't it grow...... Summer Night explained, "I thought of something to make a makeshift head for myself, and although it was just a shell, it was better than nothing." If you don't have a head, it's not even convenient to go out. ”

She didn't tell a lie, but she didn't tell the truth completely, Xiu Ji was not a creature of this world after all, and Xia Ye felt that it was better not to tell its origin easily.

But Lilian's focus is clearly not on the origin of her head.

"Sister Summer Night, you...... You ......"

She stared straight at the summer night, her big blue eyes unblinking.

“…… You're so beautiful! ”

"What do you mean by 'actually', I've always been so beautiful." Summer Night boasted shamelessly.

"It's not because you've been wearing that weird hood that I think of you horribly......" Lillian muttered quietly.

And the summer night has walked to the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the living room, and once again looked at the face he had pinched.

Waist-white hair, beautiful ruby eyes - when pinching the face, Xia Ye determined the hair color and pupil color almost immediately according to his own preferences, and never changed it since.

Under the slightly messy soft bangs, there are two thin eyebrows. The corners of the girl's eyes are slightly raised, as if she is looking around vigilantly at any time, but the tail of her eyebrows is drooping at the opposite angle, which not only neutralizes the aggressiveness of her eyes, but also carries a sense of weakness like a small animal. The wonderful combination of eyebrows and eyes seems to produce some kind of mysterious magical reaction, which makes the girl's whole person have a special temptation.

The nose is small and delicate, the lips are pale pink, and the cheeks have a slightly childish roundness, but they are not as obvious as Lilian's, compared to the latter, the face of the summer night is a little less cute, but a little more delicate and charming.

Lillian's gaze hadn't taken her eyes off her face since the first glimpse of the heading summer night, and she spun around the summer night as if admiring a beautiful work of art.

Until—

"Wow ......"

A not-so-good sound came from the kitchen, followed by a burnt smell.

"Ah, my trash fish!"

Lillian finally remembered that the frying pan was still resting on the fire, screamed, and hurried to the kitchen.

Ten minutes later.

Summer Night and Lillian both sat at the table, and on top of Summer Night's head, there was the black cat that Xiu had turned into on his stomach.

"Sister Summer Night, today's lunch is - wide fried trash fish with rattan potato fries. Uh, I'm sorry that the miscellaneous fish are a little burnt......" Lilian said with an apologetic face.

"It's okay." Summer Night picked up a piece of fried trash fish, put it on the side of his mouth, and took a light bite. Through a magical connection, she can now taste the taste of food directly from her mouth.

The crispy and salty shell, the tender and juicy inside, although there is still a little bit of burnt bitterness, but in the face of the overall deliciousness, this flaw can be completely ignored.

"Hmm...... Delicious! She praised heartily.

Then he picked up another piece with his other hand and shook it in the direction of the top of his head: "Xiu Ding, you can also taste it!" Cats should like to eat fish the most...... But don't eat it on top of my head, or the crumbs will all fall on my hair. ”

Xiu meowed to show that he knew, jumped on the table from the top of his head, bit the fried fish piece in Xia Ye's hand, and swallowed it in his mouth in three or two clicks.

"Meow~It's delicious, another piece~" It wiped its oily mouth with its paws and said.

"Sure enough, when it comes to eating, you're never polite." Summer Night had no choice but to take another piece of fried fish from the plate and give it to it.

"Sister Summer Night, ...... this?" Lillian had seen the black cat from the beginning, and now she could no longer suppress her curiosity and asked.

"This is my pet, named 'Xiu Ding'." Summer Night is introduced.

"Huh?! Pet?! Lilian's reaction was unexpectedly large, not only were her eyes full of surprise, but her cheeks seemed to be red.

"yes, pet, what's wrong?" Summer Night looked confused.

"It turns out that Sister Summer Night also has a pet? Ah, no, no, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with having a pet...... However, she is not a witch no matter how she sees it...... How could it be Sister Summer Night's pet...... Yes! Could it be that she was originally a witch, but her sister turned into this appearance? Is there still such a way to play?! It's so ...... Belch...... Curious ......"

Lillian waved her little hands and spoke incoherently in words that Summer Night didn't understand.

Summer Night: "??? ”

Xiu: "??? ”

"Stop, stop—" Eventually, it was the summer night that made Lillian pause for a moment.

"After all, I'm from somewhere else, so even if I use the same language, sometimes some words will inevitably cause ambiguity." Summer Night said, "So, in my understanding, pets mean ......"

She talked about the role of cultivation and the relationship with herself, such as the need to provide the other party with mana every day, and the other party to help her fight and other things, etc.

"Ah, I see!" Lilian suddenly realized: "Xiu Ji is actually Sister Summer Night's 'demon', right?" ”

"Demons?" I knew the word summer night, but I didn't expect it to be used in this kind of place.

"That's right, if a creature that doesn't belong to the same category as us becomes our helper through a contractual relationship, it's called a 'demon' in Debussota." Lillian explained.

"Okay." Xia Ye nodded, touched the hair on Xiu Jing's back with his hand, and said, "Then reintroduce it: Xiu Jing is my demon." ”

She paused, then suddenly smiled: "Also, I'm a little curious, if 'demon' refers to creatures that don't belong to the same category as us, then what does 'pet' mean in Debussota?" ”

Lilian's expression froze again.

"Ah...... That one...... I—I don't know...... Hey hey ......"

"But you just said that, right?" Xiu Ji is not a witch or anything, so what exactly does 'pet' mean here? Summer Night said she was really curious.

"Sister Summer Night...... I really don't know how to explain this......" Lilian's face was flushed and almost burned, "Actually, when you see it with your own eyes, you will understand it all at once......"

"See? Where is it? ”

"Very, many places."

"Oh......" Summer Night thought for a moment and proposed, "Well, let's go out this afternoon!" ”

"Huh?"

"Go out and buy something." "Look at me, I don't have a hat, I don't have a crystal ball, I don't have a broom, and I don't even have this one piece of clothing left...... There's so much to buy, and I'm not familiar with this place, so I'm going to bother you to be my guide. ”
