It's just a grocery store.

After a noisy night, he slept from midnight to noon, opening his eyes and closing them again, completely ignoring his hungry stomach.

Sleep > Eat > Play

Here at Zero Hour, sleeping is always the first priority when feeling sleepy. As for the system on the side, it won’t die of starvation, so don’t spoil it.

When Lingshi opened his eyes and turned over for the second time, the system was right in his face. Lingshi was so scared that he punched him in the face.

The system flew backwards and stuck to the wall with a "pa" sound. It took a while before it slowly slid down.

System: "That's too much, host..."

Zero Hour: "You deserve it. Who told you to put your face close to me?"

The system felt wronged, but the system didn't say anything. The system got up from the ground pitifully.

If it weren't for the lack of pain, the system would have howled a few more times. After all, Lingshi had not yet woken up and was frightened and couldn't control his strength.

The system climbed back onto the bed and lay back down at midnight, but instead of sleeping, it started playing with its phone.

I opened the address book and found Saiki Sosuke. The next place I planned to go at midnight was to meet an old friend. I heard that he was currently in Cambridge.

Zero Hour: It’s really hurtful to show the gap between people.

Midnight: Moshi Moshi, is Kosoku here?

A moment later, new news arrived.

Saiki Sosuke: Is there anything interesting you need my help with? Was that computer virus from last time any good?

Lingshi: It’s useful, but I lost it. I’m going on a trip soon and plan to visit your place.

Saiki Sousuke: If it's gone, it's gone. I can get as many of those things as I want. If you want to come play with me, okay, okay, I'll wait for you.

Lingshi: Then I will go there in a few days. I plan to stay here for a few more days. I should come across something interesting.

Saiki Sorasuke: What, what, where are you? I’m very interested in what you say!

Midnight: You don’t need to get involved in some supernatural things. We will bring you local specialties.

Saiki Sousuke: Okay, then I’m looking forward to your coming even more!

After chatting for a while, the feeling of hunger reminded me again, so I said goodbye to Qi Mukong and stopped chatting.

Lingshi changed his clothes and went out. This time, the system did not hide in his pocket, but lay on Lingshi's shoulder, looking around at will.

Midnight: You look so energetic, what would you like to eat?

System: Host, host, I want to eat what’s here, you said before!

Midnight: You mean the steamed buns from Qiqianwu? That’s a good time to try them. I’m also curious about the taste.

So I asked the boss lady for directions at zero o'clock, and then arrived at the destination safely with the guidance of the system.

The fragrant smell of steamed buns can be smelled even if you stand outside the door. I suppressed my restless system and went in at midnight to buy a big bag.

System: Long live the host, but what should we do if we can’t finish all of this?

Midnight: You can also keep it for cat fishing.

System: Host, strictly speaking, it is not a cat.

Zero Hour: I hope you know who I’m talking about.

Everyone found a shady place and sat on the stone pillar to have breakfast, or perhaps it should be called lunch.

Coincidentally, a cat was indeed caught, and Natsume, whom I had just met last night, was following behind it.

Madara: "Oh oh oh, mantou, mantou, Natsume come here quickly, it's the boy from last night."

The flexible ball, the cat teacher, jumped over and took out a steamed bun and handed it to Lingshi.

Teacher Cat hugged the bun and ate it while saying:

"You are quite perceptive, boy. Not bad, not bad. It would be even better if there was a pot of wine."

"Teacher, please don't eat Ling-kun's food!"

Natsume scolded the cat teacher who was eating happily, and the latter listened to him completely. Natsume sighed as usual and could only apologize to Lingshi.

"I'm sorry, Ling-kun, Neko-sensei really loves eating the steamed buns from Qiqianwu and I can't control myself."

Ling Shi: "Alright, alright, stop being so polite with me, let's sit down and eat together. I would have given it to you even if you hadn't come."

"Maybe Nishimura-kun can also send some. I don't know where he lives."

Lingshi kept muttering to himself and pulled Natsume to sit with him. The system was very tactful and handed him a steamed bun.

Natsume was surprised for a moment, thanked the system and took the steamed bun, probably wondering if the system was a monster.

Lingshi waved, and the system ran over and wiped its claws clean without complaint.

Zero Hour: Why are you running on all fours!

System: Subconsciously, it runs fast, right?

The system felt guilty, but it didn't say anything. It turned its eyes away and didn't dare to look at Zero Hour.

Lingshi wiped its claws clean with a curse before stuffing a steamed bun into its arms. The system hugged the bun and knew that the host was not really angry, and started to have fun again.

This scene was very heartwarming in Natsume's eyes, and he felt less defensive.

How could such a gentle person be a bad person? Natsume thought so, and relaxed to eat the steamed bun in his hand.

The sunlight shines through the sparse leaves, but it is not hot on the body. There is also a breeze, and the rustling sound in the fields is so comfortable that it makes people sleepy.

After eating, I felt sleepy again, so I leaned against a tree trunk and fell asleep.

System: Host, there are outsiders here.

Zero Hour: What outsider? He’s a good friend.

Zero stopped replying and fell asleep, while the cat teacher, having eaten his fill, slumped over beside him. The system and Natsume exchanged bewilderment, their gazes suddenly filled with empathy.

Natsume: "It must be hard to have such a willful family, right?"

Natsume reached out and rubbed the system's head. The system nodded in agreement and couldn't stop sighing.

His host has always been like this and is very independent in doing things. Thinking of this, the look he gave Natsume was full of resonance.

When I woke up at midnight, I felt that my weasel seemed to have a better relationship with Natsume, and the man and the weasel were whispering to each other.

At the beginning, Zero Hour had told the system not to disguise itself in front of Natsume, so now they could communicate without any obstacles.

Zero Hour: The identity of a monster is sometimes a good disguise.

I stretched at midnight and then leaned in to listen to their conversation.

Zero Hour: "What are you talking about? Let me listen."

Natsume smiled and replied:

"You peeled oranges for the kids at home, even peeling the tangerine peels, but you never peeled Tongzi's?"

The system turned its head away and pretended to be stupid when it heard that. At zero o'clock, it bent two fingers and tapped its forehead lightly.

Lingshi: "You are the only one who remembers clearly. When did you not eat less of the fruit plate I cut?"

The system held its head and cried softly, which made Natsume and Reitoki laugh softly, and their relationship became closer inadvertently.

The system found it unbelievable. It was only the second time they met last night, and it turned out like that.

System: Host, why did Natsume and the others accept us so quickly? They were so vigilant last night.

Lingshi: Of course it’s because of my personal charm, hehe.

The system nodded and shook its head, always feeling that the host was fooling it, but the host seemed to be able to do what he wanted easily, so this statement was very credible.

Looking at the weasel immersed in its own thoughts, nodding and shaking its head, it really feels a bit like Wong Tai Sin, except for what it is thinking in its mind.

Lingshi: Well, no one knows what it’s thinking anyway, so it can always scare people.

Natsume, who was standing by, was frightened and asked Lingshi Kiriko if she was thinking about something important.

Lingshi could probably guess what it was thinking, but he still tried to save face for his friend.

Zero Hour: "No big deal, it'll talk when it wants to, huh?"

Natsume: "I see, it should be fine with you here."

As for what scenes Natsume imagined, Lingshi didn't plan to think about the follow-up and just regarded it as homework for the system.
