The rabbit demon quickly shook his head again,

The words of rejection and the words of consent were swirling in my head.

I can't say a word.

Wen Yao stood in place, not knowing whether to take the rose in Meng Wu's hand.

The bouquet of red velvet-like roses is delicate, and there are fresh water droplets on it, so you can see that the flowers are very fresh.

But...... The bunny demon is not particularly fond of roses.

"Director Meng Wu......"

After hesitating for a long time, the rabbit demon spoke, but she only shouted the name of the fragment.

It's still the kind that takes the lead.

It looks polite and raw.

"Host, you promise the shards......"

The system was very anxious, and couldn't wait to agree instead of Wen Yao.

But...... But......

Wen Yao's lips pursed even tighter, but she didn't dodge Meng Wu's gaze.

"Director Meng, can you give me some more time to think about it?"

The girl asked very slowly, and every word was clear.

Meng Wu didn't answer her right away.

Instead, quietly look down at the ground.

After a long time, the man raised his head and looked at Wen Yao, and said in a low voice.

"Okay."

Meng Wu's tone didn't fluctuate, but Wen Yao still felt that it was not the same as his usual cold tone.

"As for the flowers...... I'll take the flowers, thank you. ”

The rabbit demon took the bouquet of roses into his arms.

Such a beautiful flower.

If she doesn't accept it, there is a high probability that she will be thrown away by Meng Wu.

—

"Host, why didn't you grant the request for the shard—"

The system is obsessed with the choice of its host, and it howls in tears.

I really don't understand.

It also remembered that when the first World Host Strategy Fragment was discovered, she took the initiative to make a plan and confess.

Now that there are fragments to confess to her such a good thing, she doesn't need the host to plan anymore, and she still doesn't accept it.

"I ...... Xiaotong, don't you think the fragments of this world are weird? ”

The rabbit demon couldn't explain clearly, so she simply discussed it with Xiaotong to see if it was her own delusion.

"Hmm...... What's the blame? ”

There is a vague sense of resonance in the system, but it is also uncertain.

"That's it...... It's just weird, I feel like the shards shouldn't be like this. ”

The rabbit demon stopped talking and wanted to express his thoughts clearly.

"Hmm...... Where shouldn't? ”

The mechanical tone of the system is equally hesitant.

"That's it...... I don't think the fragment should be like Meng Wu, or rather, Meng Wu is not the person he appears to be...... Same ......"

The girl repeated it twice, but still couldn't say the exact adjective.

"Hey, host, if you can't think of it, you just don't want to, anyway, you have a lot of time to spend with the fragments."

The system sighed helplessly.

In this world, the body is not tired, the heart is tired.

—

Wen Yao hasn't done a good job of psychological construction yet—whether or not to accept the fragment's request for communication.

But...... She doesn't have to do psychological construction for the time being.

This is because ......

Wen Yao turned into a cat again.

Under normal circumstances, she has been dreaming so frequently lately, and every time she experiences being a "cat" in her dreams, it has almost become commonplace.

As a cat, she wasn't afraid at all.

But...... This time was different.

She...... I can't wake up.

It's just a dream, why does the passage of time feel the same as in the real world?

Wen Yao could see the clock on the wall go back little by little, from nine in the morning to two in the afternoon.

In the past, she dreamed that she would wake up spontaneously by eating a red bean bread.

Now, a full five hours have passed, and there is still no sign of sobering up.

And she can't do anything if she wants to be sober...... It's as if she's not dreaming, but in the real world.

What's even stranger is that Zeze and the man are gone.

She was the only one in the room.

If it weren't for the water and food on the plate in front of her, she would be hungry and anxious by now.

It was because the food was well prepared, the temperature of the air conditioning was turned on just right, and the plush carpet on the floor was comfortable......

Although Wen Yao couldn't wake up from her dream, she still stayed where she was and didn't toss around.

—

Wen well-behaved and quiet cat Yao lazily lay in her kitten bed, waiting a little bit.

…… Although she didn't know what she was waiting for.

But I always felt that something special was going to happen.

The hour hand turned slightly, and by five she swallowed.

It's five o'clock in the afternoon.

The food on the plate was only enough for her to eat one meal, and if she didn't add new food, she would be hungry in a while.

Let's get up and explore.

Wen Yao sighed, and stepped out of her comfortable cat nest with her little arms and legs.

"Meow!"

Before she could take two steps, she had a flat fall.

Luckily, the floor was covered with heavy, fluffy blankets, and she wasn't hurt at all.

I really don't know who made this blanket and how it is usually taken care of.

Such a thick blanket can be kept neat and clean all the time.

But...... It's a dream, after all.

In my dreams, no matter how outrageous things are, it's normal.

It's just a carpet, it's so weak.

Wen Yao fell on the carpet and didn't get up in a hurry, but rolled directly on it.

…… So comfortable!

It's nice to be a kitten.

Wen Yao, who had been rolling three times in a row, had not stopped her body that was about to roll, and was about to roll for the fourth time!

But the door suddenly opened.

—

"Host, wake up-".

The system calls its host as usual.

Wen Yao has often overslept lately and needs it to be called alone.

It thought that today would be no exception.

shouted as usual.

Outcome......

"Host! Get up! ”

After shouting five times without getting a response, the system finally realized that something was unusual.

It was napping and still sleepy after being forced awake, but the host's anomaly finally made it fully awake.

"Ah host, don't scare me!"

The mechanical sound of the system changed in fright, and he even began to consider whether to go back to headquarters to report the emergency.

It's just a small world, a small world.

"It's still the modern civilized world, there aren't so many dangerous things, nothing will happen, right......?"

The system comforts itself quietly......

—

"Awake? Would you like to take a break? ”

The man who pushed the door in was holding a bouquet of flowers.

Wen Yao hadn't seen his face and clothes clearly, but she noticed the bouquet of flowers first.

Delicate roses......

This color, this packaging, this bandaging technique...... Isn't this the rose that Meng Wu gave her?

She remembered that the bouquet had been placed on the table in the living room.

She's going to split it into sprigs and put them in a vase.

How could this man have exactly the same rose in his hand?

"Meow! Meow! Meow! ”

Who are you? Where is this? Why can't I wake up?

The kitten, who was about to roll around, steadied itself, hunched its back, and looked on guard and defense.

Wen Yao directly asked three questions in a row.

The man, not knowing whether he could understand her cry or not, put the bouquet on the coffee table and squatted in front of her.

And where to put the bouquet...... It turned out to be exactly the same as the position she put at home.

This...... It's kind of ridiculous.

"It's so energetic, it's so ......"

The man's voice was low and hoarse, and Wen Yao had heard it many times.

But this time it sounded the clearest.

It was so clear that Wen Yao could finally grasp this familiarity, and reflected where she had heard a similar voice.

Only! Be! White! Marsh!

Bai Ze's voice was very recognizable, but it had been vague before, and Wen Yao could only hear what he was saying, and had no concept of the specific timbre.

It was the first time she had heard it so clearly.

It turned out to be Bai Ze!

As her eyes widened, her pupils constricted into a vertical line, and the man's face became clear.

The sharp outline outlined a very impressive face of Wen Yao...... It's Bai Ze!

"Meow! Meow! Meow! ”

How are you! This is where! Why did I become a cat!

Wen Yao questioned three times again.

Man...... Not a single one was answered.

He just curled his lips in a faint arc and tapped the plate in front of her.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Eat barbecue!" The rabbit demon subconsciously answered Bai Ze, but immediately shook his head again and continued to question himself, "No...... How are you! Here it is......"

"Okay, let's wait here for a while......"

The man's hand landed on top of the kitten's head and touched it gently.

Unlike what was expected, Wen Yao's arched back slowly recovered and relaxed because of his touch.

Surprisingly comfortable......

This technique can't be touched by cats who haven't had it for ten years.

"Meow! Meow...... Meow! ”

Don't move your hands or feet! You...... You don't want to buy me with barbecue!

Wen Yao still didn't know if Bai Ze could understand what she said, because her protest only got the man touching her head again.

Even...... Bai Ze picked her up and sent her to the cat's kennel.

When the neck was lifted from behind, Wen Yao's screams suddenly increased, and the "meow" kept coming.

You, you, you! Do! Put me down!

"Wait until I get back."

The man squatted in front of Wen Yao and tapped her forehead.

“……”

This...... Bai Ze probably didn't understand her words, and was completely taking care of himself......

That's not right! He could understand her saying "I want to eat barbecue", how could he not understand what she said about other questions!

I just don't want to answer her......

Oh, my God.

—

Wen Yao lay in her comfortable nest for about half an hour, and finally waited for Bai Ze to come back again.

"Meow! Meow! Meow! ”

How are you here! How could I be here! How did I become a kitten!

The moment she saw Bai Ze, Wen Yao asked again a fatal triple question.

The man didn't answer, but just placed a plate of freshly baked roast meat in front of her.

I don't know if he baked it himself or ordered takeout.

It's probably the latter, if the former...... It's too much trouble to prepare.

"Eat."

The man's voice was soft, with an imperceptible sense of anticipation.

Wen Yao roared twice as if cathartic.

I kind of understand why Ze Ze used to roar a lot.

A kitten with a language barrier and a body that can be easily controlled by humans...... It's really easy to get irritable.

Hey, by the way, where is Zeze?

She has recently dreamed of becoming a kitten, and she often has Zeze by her side.

But she woke up this time and didn't see Zeze.

"Meow?"

Where is Zeze?

Wen Yao tilted her head and asked Bai Ze.

"It's not here, let's eat first."

Bai Ze's answer was concise and flexible, without the slightest flustery.

The hair on Wen Yao's body exploded, and he yelled at Bai Ze-

Look, he can understand her screams!

And apparently he knew who Zeze was and why he was in this dream.

He just wouldn't tell her.

"Bai Ze, you...... It's not right for you to do that......"

Wen Yao roared a few more times, so anxious that the cries of "meow" and "meow" were connected together.

The man didn't seem to hear at all.

Just forked a piece of meat with a fork.

"Give it a try."

The meat on the plate was cut in advance, and the piece he forked was just the right size, and it was handed to Wen Yao's mouth.

As long as she sticks out her tongue a little, she can roll the delicious taste into her mouth.

The rabbit demon who was angry decided to ...... I'll talk about it when I'm full.

Wen Yao took a bite of the barbecue and chewed it carefully, letting the juice and aroma burst out in her mouth.

"Meow...... Meow! ”

Good...... Delicious!

She also brought Ze Ze barbecue without any seasoning at the special bureau party.

But because Chen Shouzheng fed Ze Ze in advance, she didn't know if it was delicious or not.

But now that she has eaten the barbecue fed by Bai Ze, she can suddenly understand Ze Ze's situation and feelings.

Sawazawa should be very happy when he eats barbecue!

After all...... The rabbit demon is very happy now!

"Eat more if you like."

As soon as the kitten Wen Yao finished chewing the piece of barbecue in his mouth, Bai Ze picked up another piece of barbecue meat and handed it to Wen Yao's mouth.

Another piece.

Rabbit Demon ...... Of course, I still chose to eat it.

"Delicious!"

The delicious taste of the barbecue washed away the faint tension in Wen Yao's heart and the anxiety that a lot of questions in her heart could not be answered.

—

"Huh, host, where have you been?"

The call sign roared for a long time...... The system, which had been exhausted for a long time, finally found itself able to contact the host.

"Ah, Xiaotong! You...... Why are you here......"

Wen Yao was also pleasantly surprised.

Isn't she dreaming?

Although the system is built into her mind, her dreams cannot be captured by the system.

Dreams are dreams, and the real world is the real world.

All of Wen Yao's dreams before had no system.

Does the emergence of the system at this moment mean ......

Wen Yao's heart was pounding, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

"Xiaotong, this ...... Is this my dream or ...... Or is it the real world? ”

"Uh-uh, host, I'...... I don't know. But theoretically, if it's just the host you're dreaming, there's no way I'm going to get in. ”

The system doesn't know what the situation is, but there are some things that are quite certain.

"Host, perhaps...... We all underestimated Bai Ze. ”

It originally thought that this world was just an ordinary small world of modern civilization, and the biggest unusualness was the opposition between human race and beast race.

The orcs are just one more orc form than the humans, and their strength, speed, and specialties are much higher than those of humans.

But now look at ...... In addition to what it and the host believes, the orcs ...... There may be some other means.

Dreams, reality...... Which one is true and which one is false?
