Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

He was about to say something when the person who had just broken free from his grasp came back with a book from a nearby bookshelf.

The brave man pulled a chair to the bedside and carefully tucked the quilt for Zhu Fu Jingguang.

Then he took out a small cow cat doll from somewhere and placed it next to the other person's pillow.

Then he took out a box of incense from the drawer and lit one.

After finishing all this, Yun Xianhe sat down on the chair, opened the book in his hand, and read in a low voice:

"This is a story about elves and travelers living in the forest. You might like it. Once upon a time..."

"Idle Crane,"

"Oh, the bedside lamp is too bright, isn't it?"

The brave man looked sleepy with his eyes half closed.

After reaching out to lower the brightness of the bedside lamp, Yun Xianhe rubbed Zhu Fu Jingguang's hair twice, and then planned to continue reading his storybook.

"Idle Crane,"

"Hmm? Anything else, Mr. Hikaru?"

"…Why did you push me onto your bed?"

Why do we need to read storybooks? How did things turn out like this?

The brave man crossed his legs, leaned his elbows on his knees, and propped up his chin with one hand.

The pair of half-closed heterochromatic pupils hidden behind the glasses revealed a bit of laziness, but also seemed exceptionally gentle:

"It's 2 a.m. now. Of course I have to go to bed."

"…I can go back to my room."

"I think your room might have bad feng shui, Mr. Guang. I'm going to exorcise the evil spirits for you tomorrow. You have to sleep in my bed today. Besides, you had a nightmare, didn't you? I'll stay here with you and make sure you sleep peacefully until tomorrow noon."

“No, um…”

There is no need to sleep until noon or anything like that.

Zhu Fu Jingguang wanted to ask something else, but Yun Xianhe obviously didn't want to continue the conversation.

The brave man pulled the quilt over Zhu Fu Jingguang and carefully covered him up again, then opened the storybook again:

"Legend has it that at the end of the river, there is a blue forest where any traveler who sets foot will get lost. The elders say that it is the place where the sun rises and the moon sets, and it is a forbidden place where the gods live..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang felt that he was inexplicably forced into the stage of being coaxed to sleep, and he couldn't even interrupt the process.

There was even a momentary illusion.

If he dared to refuse, Yun Xianhe would knock him out and force him to sleep.

On the wall not far away, the air conditioner was humming quietly.

A very faint scent of incense drifted over on the wind.

The perfect temperature, the comforting smell, and the brave man's unspeakably gentle voice.

Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was about to say something, yawned unconsciously and felt his eyelids beginning to feel heavy.

...Hmm? Is he that sleepy?

“…A snowstorm came, and the traveler who strayed into the forest was cold and hungry. He murmured: If only there was a warm place where he could hide from the wind and snow. The gods heard his words and led him to the depths of the forest.”

"…The traveler who thought he had stepped out of the forest stared blankly at the sea of ​​flowers in front of him. Behind him was the howling cold wind, but in front of him was the bright sun."

"'Am I dreaming?' The traveler's words made the gods laugh. ..."

The white smoke that rose straight up swirled under the influence of the air-conditioning wind.

After reading this page, Yun Xianhe raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang lying on the bed.

[It is detected that the scanning target's vital signs are stable. 】

'113, is he asleep?'

[Yeah, you read the story so well! 】

'Haha, it's not like I haven't read to you before.'

Yun Xianhe replied to the system in his heart and calmly closed the book in his hand.

113, who was acting as an eye temporarily, took a look, was silent for a moment, and then said hesitantly:

[Master, you just held the book upside down. ]

"..."

The hero paused as he stood up.

Yun Xianhe casually put the book into the system space, spread his hands and shrugged.

'It's okay, he didn't see it. And I didn't see it either.'

I just read it out from memory, so I don't actually need the book at all.

After confirming that Morobushi Kagemitsu was really asleep, the brave man quietly left the room and went straight to the other person's room on the first floor.

The brave man who pulled the entire "Yachilina" out of the pot by grabbing a leaf tilted his head, pretending that he couldn't hear the other person's whimpering cry that could penetrate his soul.

"You asked for it."

Yun Xianhe looked towards the location of the core of "Yaqilina" with an expressionless face.

The out-of-focus heterochromatic eyes looked dark and scary in the darkness.

"I told you not to mess around two hours ago, didn't I? Huh?"

Plants can't speak, but the humming sounds that are transmitted through sound waves that can be sensed by the soul are very noisy.

Yun Xianhe raised his hand to avoid the electronic sticker and rubbed his temple.

With a sullen face, he threw "Yachilina" into the storage compartment of the system space.

"Not negotiable."

After mumbling to himself, the brave man fumbled and held the empty flower pot in his hands.

Then he selected a harmless plant from the system store that looked very similar to the non-flowering "Yachilina" and planted it there.

He raised his hand and pinched off a leaf from it.

Yun Xianhe, who didn't hear the sound, nodded with satisfaction and put the flowerpot back to its original position.

"It turns out that in this kind of world it's better to just grow some ordinary flowers."

[Why did you give him Yaqilina in the beginning? 】

"I was planting flowers at the time and I suddenly remembered that this thing could stabilize the soul, so I gave him one."

Who knew that silly flower could fill him with so much trouble.

113 in the system space understood what he said.

[But he has a lot of soul stabilizing items on him. ]

"There is no way. The danger level of this world is quite high, and the humans are all ordinary humans. Their physical fitness and soul hardness are not high..."

Yun Xianhe was muttering to 113 in his heart.

On the way upstairs to the study, I tripped over the stairs.

The person who nearly fell down the stairs held on to the handrail tightly.

Yun Xianhe calmed himself down, sighed slightly, and said helplessly:

"I told you this world is dangerous, right?"

[Master, that's because you can't see right now. After being in darkness for a long time, your body's ability to grasp space has decreased, so you tripped.]

"If I wasn't afraid that they would think too much, I would be in a wheelchair."

Why stand when you can sit?

As he was talking, the brave man who finally reached the study was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Yun Xianhe stretched lazily and slowly walked to a corner of the study.

Finally, he covered himself completely with books and blankets.

The smell of ink and the weight of paper made Yun Xianhe feel a lot more at ease.

Sure enough, the sleeping place that I liked when I was a child, I will still like it even when I grow up.

"This time...even if the world explodes, I don't care."

The sound coming from under the blanket was muffled, with a sense of exhaustion.

No one can disturb his sleep!

[Don't worry, I will stand guard and help you watch! ]

'Good night, 113.'

【Good night! 】
