[Is this why you asked me to come along?]

Qi Mu, who had teleported to Kyoto with Katori, had a very cold expression on his face. Earlier, when he saw Katori's message, he was excited for a moment. However, when his body moved faster than his brain and sent out the message that he was free, he regretted it.

[Isn't this just like how I'm looking forward to meeting her?

No, I definitely don't have that kind of thought. I'm just replying to her since she asked. It's basic etiquette to reply as soon as you see a message. Don't worry about it.]

Qi Mu, who was trying to convince himself, frowned when he saw the number jump twice.

[What's wrong with this guy? It's been two minutes and he still hasn't replied. What the hell is he doing?]

"Ah, why is Xiao Nan staring at his phone? Is he waiting for a girl's message?"

Kurumi noticed Qi Mu's reaction and couldn't help but tease him.

[…]

Kurumi, who thought that Qi Mu would immediately refute her, waited for two seconds and couldn't help but show a shocked expression. "Liar, is it true? Is Xiao Nan at this age?"

Guo Chun was also shocked. "What?

Nan Xiong is dating a girl? "

[Although I don't know what you're thinking, it's definitely not what you think.]

Guo Chun ignored his words and held Kurumi's hand affectionately. "Mom, Nan Xiong is at this age."

Kurumi also held his hand cooperatively. "Yes, dad. He was so young before, but now he's old enough to date a girl."

"Nan Xiong will be able to get married in a few years. It's a little sad when I think about it, but I still love you the most."

"Me too, I love you the most."

"Mom."

"Dad."

[Ah, I can't stand this stupid couple.]

Qi Mu's heart didn't waver at all when he heard the two of them looking at each other affectionately and constantly exuding pink bubbles. He got up from the chair and was about to throw away the empty coffee and jelly box and go upstairs when he heard a ding.

A message came in.

[That's great!

Qi Shen, can you please take me to Jingdu now?

[Pitiful] [Pitiful]

[To Jingdu?

Now?]

Qi Mu frowned. He wanted to agree, but his rationality made him decide to ask about the situation first. However, before he could finish typing the message, Katori's additional message came in.

[I'll tell you the reason when we meet!

'Please!'

This is something only you can do!]

So, after Qi Mu's message, he stared at the "Sent Sent" screen screen, he fell into deep thought.

[That's strange. His heartbeat seemed a little abnormal just now.]

[It's an illusion...

Qi Mu clicked on the photo sent by Kaho and glanced at it. Then, he put away his phone and glanced at the two who were still clinging to each other. After leaving a sentence, he disappeared from the spot.

. Katori's eyes lit up when she saw Qi Mu. She told him about the shrine during the three-minute cooldown period of her teleportation ability.

"That's it. Xiao Bai said that a Spirit-branded Retainer is trapped there, so I need to go there."

Katori quickly finished her explanation and looked at him with sparkling eyes. "Help me, Qi Shen."

[But I don't need to do something like this, right?

You can go there after you're done sleeping together.]

Qi Mu glanced at Katori, who had an unnatural expression on her face. [Are you hiding something from me?]

Katori did not speak. Telepathy automatically transmitted her thoughts to Qi Mu. After understanding what had happened, no matter how Qi Mu felt when he went to see Katori, at this moment, all his feelings turned into an impulse.

The impulse to turn around and leave disappeared in an instant.

[Causing a scene of carnage and then running away. Is this the plot of a dating game?]

Qi Mu complained expressionlessly.

"No, I'm just guessing."

Katori scratched her face awkwardly. "Their attitude is just a little strange. No matter what, it's a little too presumptuous to think that everyone likes you."

[In that case, do you want me to confirm it?]

"No, no, no, there's no need."

Thinking of Qi Mu's ability to confirm favorability, Katori hurriedly stopped him. "Although I still don't think that a full favorability means that they like me, it still feels weird to confirm it."

In this case, if she really confirmed it, she might not be able to treat them normally.

[Tsk, are you lying to yourself?]

Katori choked and touched her nose awkwardly. "You can say that …"

Qi Mu looked at her quietly for a while. [Forget it, three minutes have passed. Let's go.]

Qi Mu reached out and put his hand on Katori's shoulder. With just a thought, the two appeared in a remote alley in Kyoto.

"Wow, it's really amazing."

Katori looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and exclaimed. Then, as if she remembered something, she showed an embarrassed expression. "But Qi Shen, I forgot to tell you that I have a postcard of the shrine. We can teleport there directly."

[…]

[Ten coffee puddings.]

"Um, Qi Shen …" Katori, who knew what Qi Mu meant, was even more embarrassed. Her eyes drifted and she didn't look at him. Her voice became softer and softer. "I don't have money …"

[…]

"I don't have a choice. I've been penniless since I came to this world." Katori knew that she was in the wrong. She hugged Qi Mu's arm and tried to act cute. "Help me, please ~"

Katori's voice was very pleasant, especially when she deliberately softened her tone. It was like some kind of sweet honey that could melt one's heart. It softened one's heart and made one involuntarily want to agree to her request. However, she had never done it to a boy.

It was too embarrassing …

Katori felt the heat on her cheeks. She wanted to cover her face and scream.

Qi Mu didn't refuse her, but his body was obviously stiff. [… If you feel ashamed, don't do it.]

His tone was steady and his voice was calm. It didn't match the redness on her cheeks at all.

If Katori could endure the shame and look up at Qi Mu at this time, she would find that the other party's reaction was the same as hers.

Both of them were blushing.

"So you agree?" Katori asked in a small voice.

She was sure that Qi Mu would agree. Now, she just wanted to confirm it.

Qi Mu didn't answer the question. [That's not how you use your superpower.]

"You're only saying that because I helped you?"

Katori knew that he had acquiesced. She smiled. She let go of her hand and patted her face. When she looked up, she saw Qi Mu looking at her with the back of his head.

"Qi Shen?" Katori felt a little strange and wanted to look at his face. However, Qi Mu looked away again.

Katori noticed that his ears were slightly red. Her expression was a little strange.

"Qi Shen, are you …"

[No.]

She hadn't said anything yet.

Katori pouted, but she was secretly happy.

After Qi Mu calmed down, he calmly sent a voice transmission to Katori's mind. [Don't use this self-destructive trick in the future.]

Katori's focus was not on this at all. She asked excitedly, "Self-destructive … Qi Shen, did you get hurt a thousand times?"

[… What nonsense are you talking about?]

Qi Mu was silent for a moment and decisively changed the topic.

[You don't want to go back for the time being, right?

What are you going to do after you go to the shrine?]

He had no idea that he had dug a hole and was about to jump into it.

Katori didn't say anything. She just looked at him expectantly.

Qi Mu immediately understood what she meant. [What are you thinking?

Give up. I won't let you live in my house.]

[No matter how you look at it, it's a very troublesome thing.]

Thinking about the possible reaction of his stupid parents, Qi Mu's eyes froze for a second.

"That's too much, Qi Shen. Someone used to live in my house and ate a lot of my coffee and jelly," Katori said bitterly. Her tone was full of complaints.

[Whose fault is that?]

Even though he knew that Katori was doing this on purpose, Qi Mu still had a helpless and complicated feeling in his heart.

He was silent for a moment and sighed slightly.

[Let's see how it goes.]
