At night, everything was silent, the cold wind was bleak, and Akabane cautiously slipped out of the bed and opened the window.

Clotted fat opened his hazy eyes.

"Huh?" What are you doing?

"Sss I'll go out and be quiet.

"Huh..."Then don't go to bed later, you're too cold, you're going to wake up Orange Orange cold.

"Sss I know.

Akabane gently closed the window and quietly looked at the moon outside, thinking about the past, present, and future...

She felt the cold in the air, and her body gradually became hot......

……

At six o'clock in the morning, it was dark in the east.

Xingcheng dragged his tired body to sit up from the bed, rubbing his eyes and stretching his waist, "Clotted fat, Akabane, it's time to get up." ”

She subconsciously touched her neck, but she didn't feel the coldness, and after looking around, she found that Akabane was sleeping soundly in her nest.

"Eh, Akabane, when did you run to sleep in the nest?" Xingcheng gradually woke up, got out of bed and poked Akabane, "Get up, I can't sleep anymore today." ”

Akabane opened her eyes slightly, and found that it was Xingcheng, and suddenly woke up, wrapping Xingcheng's arm around her palm.

Xingcheng was stunned by Akabane's sudden passion: "What's the matter, Chi..."

The coldness in her hands grew hot.

"Ahh

Star Orange couldn't bear the heat anymore and let go of Akabane abruptly.

Akabane landed on the ground and stretched the snake's body, its body becoming more and more red, and the magma patterns between the scales became more and more obvious.

"Akabane!" Xingcheng smelled the burnt smell on the wooden board, and didn't care about anything else, so he quickly stopped her, "Stop!" ”

"Shhh Good!

The lines on Akabane's body darkened again, and she wagged her tail, not caring about Xingcheng's sudden letting go, and looking at her as if she was invited.

This is... New skills?

Xingcheng hurriedly opened the Imperial Beast Codex.

[Species: Red Shadow King Snake (Cub)]

[Gender: Female]

[Attributes: Fire, Darkness, Poison]

[Abilities: Fangs (D), Winding (D), Sculpting (A), Toxin (D), Blazing Scales (D)]

"Blazing Scales? Have you learned a new skill? That's amazing, isn't it? How can there be such a powerful little snake? ”

Star Orange boasted about Akabane and brought her back to her neck. While brushing your teeth, you searched on the star net.

[Blazing Scales: The natural skill of the Red Shadow King Snake Shadow Hide.] When the skill is tried out, the temperature on the surface of the Red Shadow King Snake's skin will rise, as if it were wrapped in lava. 】

This effect feels similar to that of "Ice Armor"......

"Why did you learn this skill all of a sudden? Think Frostfall's Ice Armor is too handsome? ”

"......Shhhhhhh

"Huh!" No, she secretly ran out of the window last night to calm down all night!

"I'll just say, why doesn't Akabane sleep in a bed. And it is said on the Internet that it is easier to learn this skill at low temperatures. Xingcheng picked up Akabane and coiled it around his neck, "Can you control the temperature?" That way I don't have to bring a scarf! ”

"Sss I'll try it on the clotted fat first.

"Huh!" Don't come near me!

……

In the afternoon, school is dismissed. It's autumn, the days are shortening, and the night is falling.

Yin Yue waved at Xingcheng at the top of the stairs.

You don't need to wear a school uniform at this time. Star Orange looks very cute in a gray fleece retro dress prepared for her by Isabella, with little booties of the same color on her feet and a gray bunny hat!

"Let's go, we'll have to go through the side door, there's a snack street. We had a bite to eat and went to the platform to catch the hoverboard. ”

Xingcheng followed behind Yin Yue, observing the surroundings in a novel way, learning from Yin Yue's appearance, and pocketing all kinds of snacks.

When they finally got on the train, they still had a few baked cakes in their arms.

Xingcheng was a little nervous about the volunteer work for a while: "What will we do later?" ”

Yin Yue touched her chin and thought for a while: "It's very simple, it's to help the staff and do what you can." For example, cleaning the courtyard, talking with the wounded, making the elderly happy, and so on. ”

"You will be given a volunteer badge, which is a symbol of our volunteer status. At the end of the day, the staff will send us a certificate and submit it directly to the practice credit system. ”

"Understood, I'll work hard!"

In between the conversations between the two, the hovercar arrived.

Yin Yue waved at Xingcheng: "Let's go, let's go." ”

When you get off the bus, you will be greeted by a large, white building that is clearly different from ordinary houses, and the cross windows let out a gentle warm yellow light, which looks very warm.

Xingcheng followed Yin Yue through the courtyard in front of the house, stepping on the withered brown dead leaves, passing by the frozen koi pond.

"It's Yin Yue..."

As Yin Yue rang the doorbell, a middle-aged lady in a dark green dress opened the door carved with a prosperous relief.

"Hello, Madame May." Yin Yue saluted Mrs. Mei, "This is what I mentioned to you before, my friend, Xingcheng. ”

Xingcheng also wanted her to salute: "Hello, Mrs. May." My name is Star Orange. I have a contract beast that is a raccoon cat, and I hope it can help you. ”

"I have a contract beast that is a raccoon" instead of "My contract beast is a tanuki".

A hint of surprise flashed in Mrs. Mei's eyes, and she smiled randomly and kindly: "Come in, excellent children." ”

The two of them took to the reception room, made them two cups of hot chocolate, and handed Xingcheng a white feather badge: "This is the badge of the sanatorium, which allows you to be identified through the gate." ”

"Phantom raccoons..."Mrs. May hugged her chest with one hand and touched her chin with the other, "Will your phantom raccoon be [lullaby]?" ”

"No... No. Xingcheng lowered his head in embarrassment, "I'm very sorry madam, the phantom raccoon is my main general, and in this regard, I can only [Dream Weaving] and [Misty Fragrance], but these two skills have reached the C level. ”

"It's okay kid." Mrs. May comforted, "In such words... Let's talk to everyone as before, they like you children the most. ”

"Then trouble Yin Yue, I still have some work to deal with."

Hearing this, Yin Yue stood up, patted her chest, and assured Mrs. Mei, "No problem, madam, just leave it to me!" ”

After Mrs. Mei left, Yin Yue took Xingcheng to the inner courtyard.

There is a transparent dome above the inner courtyard, and the green underneath the dome is very warm.

Energetic teenagers stand in the crowd, telling their stories in a colorful voice.

"I went to Yixing in the Nine Stars of China during the winter vacation last year, which happened to be the Spring Festival in China. Chinese New Year... It's the equivalent of Jane Ruth's Day on our side. ”

The young man stepped on the stool with one foot, and used his hands and feet to draw for everyone: "Everyone knows Chinatown, right? If you want me to say, this Chinatown is still too restrained. ”

He pointed to his eyes: "On the winged star, every street and every building is hung with red lanterns, which are a little brighter than the color of my eyes. ”

"There's also a snack called rock sugar gourd, which looks exactly like a lantern! It's sweet, it's sour, it's delicious! ”

Yin Yue looked at this energetic young man in surprise, and muttered in disgust, "What, why is this guy here..."

Xingcheng didn't notice Yin Yue's muttering, she listened attentively, and there seemed to be that piece of lights and joy in her eyes.
