Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

"I understand. There was a fight in the neighborhood, and three kids were scratched. It cost you a lot of money for rabies vaccines, so you feel sad when you mention it."

“…No, that’s not the case.”

Senior Cat pretended not to hear her own joke, but the expression he'd turn around to look at Yu Man from time to time was like someone holding a grudge after a fight in an illegal zone. Humph, Yu Man had logged into the game tonight and quietly pulled the covers off her...

……

After breakfast, Yu Man felt quite satisfied, and even had a feeling that "it doesn't matter if life ends here."

But when I think about how the food in my stomach will be easily digested and hunger will come back again... that feeling becomes even stronger.

"Master, I'll clean up the dishes and prepare some snacks. You can entertain the guests."

"Oh! Okay."

Xiaolu greeted the Triple Crown Champion and called Yu Man, intending to treat them well.

It’s a rare lively Spring Festival, and a rare lively home, and she wants her guests to have a good time.

But after a few steps, she realized something.

Actually, I don’t know how to entertain guests at all.

"Have some tea?" she asked tentatively.

"Drinking tea right after dinner?"

"That's right... then... let's go bask in the sun?"

"Wasn't it just sunbathing outside?"

“…Then, then…” The deer’s mind raced wildly, but he couldn’t come up with any answer.

In the end, she was left with only one option.

"Let's play games then?"

"Ah this."

Yu Man was at a loss for words. They met at home during the New Year, and they ended up playing games?

The cat senior at his feet also noticed Xiaolu's predicament, and began to look at Yu Man as if he were a criminal.

It thought that Xiaoman, who always said "I am a lone player and never play with others", was probably a liar.

And Xiaolu...I'm afraid she's a girl who's easy to deceive.

Yu Man was the guest who followed the host's wishes. Since they were playing games, he said, "Let me think about it. If I want to log into Old World, I'd like to borrow your sofa. I'll wear the device and lie on the sofa. Could you lend me a blanket, please? My clothes might be a little thin."

"Then I'll go lie down on the bed..."

"Meow." The Triple Crown Champion also wanted to lie down.

But its movement made the deer discover something.

That is a hidden danger that cannot be ignored and it concerns one's own dignity.

"We're all in the game, and my husband is out making snacks. The Triple Crown has no one to supervise him, so he'll probably be free to do whatever he wants. Then the tragedy at home will become my husband's job... No, no, I'll be scolded."

"...It's okay not to play games." This is a reasonable concern.

Yu Man held Senior Cat in his arms, without explaining Senior Cat's humanity, after all, this thing could not be explained.

The deer whispered, "Besides, we're right next to each other. There's no need to separate and then meet in the game...but what should we do?"

Yu Man looked at her quietly, without saying a word.

Even though her residence could even be called spacious, it was still a blank space for entertaining guests.

What kind of life did she lead? What kind of family did she have?

Yu Man couldn't help but think about these things and felt a little empty.

"Actually," Yu Man said, "I'd like to get some more sun, too. The weather's nice, can I sit in your yard?"

"Yeah! Let's go."

……

The yard is not quiet, the housekeeping robot is busy here.

It had said before that it was going to prepare some snacks - Yu Man originally thought it was going to make some Cantonese snacks and knead dough in the kitchen or something.

As a result, in a corner of the spacious courtyard, there were big pots and basins, soups and water, and people were busy running around.

Yu Man and Xiao Lu did not sit under the fruit tree, nor did they linger in the flower garden because the housekeeping robot seemed to need help.

"What are you busy with?" Yu Man asked curiously.

"The young lady doesn't like formal meals, but she always devours any desserts served to her. She has to prepare them year-round... Recently, in a new game, this lazy bum stays in bed all day, so to prevent her from getting irritated, I prepared some roasted grass jelly for her. Alas, it's unfortunate for the machine to be created to serve such a little ancestor."

"So... start with grass?"

"I am a traditional robot. I follow tradition in everything and reject modern technology."

In the bamboo basket of the housekeeping robot, there are bunches of dried grass jelly.

The quality is excellent. According to reports, the products are grown in their own yard and then dried in the sun for storage.

Now we are busy with the first step, which is to wash it clean, but there are quite a lot of them, so it is particularly tedious.

The little deer, who was being scolded, went up to help with a blushing face.

This, in turn, prompted the housekeeping robot to mutter something like, "Lazy people finally have a day to work."

Basins of clear water became turbid due to the infiltration of dried grass jelly, and the deer's hands were stained with black ash.

Senior Cat is very interested in this thing. He knows about grass jelly and is a frequent visitor to milk tea shops.

The little girl holding the milk tea is a good hunting target. According to its rich experience, when dealing with such a target, nine out of ten meows it makes when it runs over can get some food.

It really didn't know how it did it - so it moved closer, quite curious.

The deer noticed its curiosity and said, "Ah, Triple Crown, these are not for you to eat...Stay away a little, or your white fur will get dirty."

The idea was good, but something seemed to be wrong with the girl's brain.

So much so that she subconsciously hugged the cat and wanted to take it away from here.

But the black water stains on my hands were just like that, stained on the cat's white fur.

It's dirty.

"..." Senior Cat looked helpless and bit it lightly symbolically.

Looking at the half-black cat, the little deer didn't dare to say anything, but his face turned red again... He didn't know how many times it had happened today.

——The above is why Yu Man and Xiao Lu were in the bathroom.

Actually it was just for washing the cat.

The atmosphere was inexplicably strange.

It wasn’t because of Yu Man’s sweatshirt, the T-shirt Xiaolu changed into was covered with water stains.

It’s not because of the faint fragrance of the shower gel, or the fact that one person is holding the cat while the other is rubbing shower gel bubbles on it.

Just a little sigh——

"Brother, it's New Year's Day, and we didn't play games, we just washed the cat here."

"…My, my pot."

“It’s still quite fulfilling.”

“…it’s like getting rid of the old and welcoming the new.”

However, the cat being washed doesn't think so.

"Wow, don't move, Cat-senpai, don't shake it off--"

But Senior Cat couldn't control his instincts, nor did he want to.

It shook its body wildly, sprinkling water all over the world, just wanting to drag these two hateful guys into the water.

It was Chinese New Year, and not only did he not get to eat wonton noodles, but he was also dragged into the bathroom to wash the cat. What did he do to anyone?

——The above is why Yu Man borrowed Xiaolu’s bathroom.

And because I didn't bring any change of clothes, I had to wear Fawn's clothes.

There was nothing she could do about it, her hair, body, and even her clothes all smelled like her.

Yu Man wasn't used to being exposed to other people's scents... but there was nothing she could do. Together with the comfortable guest rooms and the tranquility of the bathroom, they seemed to assimilate both her and her soul into this house.

In addition to the change in body odor, the self in the mirror while blow-drying my hair also looked a little unfamiliar.

I am no longer the person who wears a sweatshirt and a pair of jeans to go through all four seasons and ties my hair into a ponytail.

as if--

"Updated a set of level 10 equipment? Me."

The fine and loose gray sweater is breathable and warm from neck to thigh.

The cashmere pants are the perfect size and are very comfortable to touch and wear.

In other words - ice resistance is maxed out!

"Hey, Senior Cat has caused me a lot of trouble."

After drying her hair, Yu Man left the guest room with her hair long and beautiful black.

……

Little Deer came out of the bathroom earlier. She changed her clothes and was now combing Senior Cat's hair under the midday sun in the courtyard.

Very methodical, unfamiliar but serious.

"Ah, eel." The deer waved happily.

"Triple Crown Champion, come and die!"

Senior Cat glared at Yu Man and wanted to bite him.

Seeing her wearing new clothes again, his eyes became complicated...but he still didn't bite her.

"Why are you mad at the cat? How is it? Do the clothes fit? We're about the same height, so I picked a set that's universal in size."

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with wearing it."

"That's good."

During the time when they tried to wash the cat and failed, and had to take a bath, the housekeeping robot had already cooked a batch of dried grass jelly.

The black grass was sticky and turbid. After the robot squeezed out the tape completely, the whole pot was poured into the filter cloth to remove impurities, and the remaining clean black juice began to be heated again.

The same filtered rice milk is poured into the black juice by the household robot.

Xiaolu and Yu Man each took a spatula and stirred the pot in the process.

As the grass jelly was simmering, Yu Man's thoughts drifted back to the past, back to another world.

The sticky and heavy feel reminded Yu Man of her first round. Back then, she had chosen the alchemist role, and making large batches of potions required similar steps.

But she's incredibly strong in the game, while in real life she only has skinny arms and legs. Speaking of which, the alchemist has a recipe for a high-level potion that requires some basic ingredients, which are extremely expensive later on, so it's best to stock up now... What are those ingredients?

The deer's words echoed in his ears: "Speaking of which, can I now seek revenge on the snake that ate me?"

"Yeah." Yu Man nodded. She was indeed strong enough.

"Then can I solo some low-level dungeons? Like level 3 ones?"

"Hmm..." Oh, it is indeed a third-level material.

"Okay, then I can catch up on my progress while you're gone. Treasure maps and dungeons aren't the same thing, right?"

"Correct."

"Eh, perfunctory?" Xiaolu noticed Yu Man's absent-mindedness. "Will you accompany me for hot pot tonight?"

"Row."

"...Then." Xiaolu thought for a while and tried to ask, "Then...stay overnight?"

"Okay... huh? Huh? What?"

"Otherwise, we'll waste a lot of time on the road... At least we'll have to fight one less dungeon... Huh?"
