Xinhai of the Coral Palace is interning for an unfamiliar job, while the former witch who rented a house from Goethe, the owner of the largest property in Mond, late at night is worrying about the job she once was familiar with.

The hot white mist followed a slender figure into the bedroom. Slightly damp green hair was draped over her shoulders. The white skin was reflected by the incandescent light with a warm jade-like glow. The white feet that stepped on the wooden floor left a trail of water marks.

"I have to buy a few pairs of indoor slippers tomorrow. Lord Quan Gongsi will definitely bring guests, so I have to prepare a few more pairs..."

She put her hands behind her back to hold up her wide nightgown, pressed her round buttocks against the edge of the bed, wiped the dust on the soles of her feet with a towel, and looked down at her toes arranged like grapes. Jiuqi Shinobu was in a trance for a moment, then took the gift box next to the pillow.

Untying the silk that bound the package and unwrapping the rustling wrapping paper, a red and white shrine maiden costume made of soft and smooth fabric fell on her knees. The girl pressed the fabric with one hand and stroked it slightly.

"I haven't taken care of Lord Quan Gongsi for eleven years. It's really a headache to suddenly have the responsibility on my shoulders. I have been free for so many years. Can I still tolerate Lord Quan Gongsi's temper now?"

For Shinobu Kuki, the sudden decision of Yae Kamiko to send the samurai Sakurasai out of Inazuma was unexpected. No one could understand why the chief priest of the Narugami Taisha Shrine suddenly disappeared from Inazuma during just a simple celebration.

However, the disappearance of the samurai Sakurasai did not mean that Kuki Shinobu could relax. She still had a lot of things to do. It was not until four years ago that she completely unloaded the burden on her shoulders and ran away from Inazuma to study abroad in Liyue.

"But only four years of leisurely days passed... Could it be that Coral Palace Xinhai finally couldn't stand it anymore?"

Like a fallen person, she tumbled her slightly damp hair onto the soft pillow, squinted at the chandelier on the white ceiling, and sighed faintly, "According to the length of time I've taken care of you, I should now call Coral Palace my senior. She, who has more experience than me, can't stand it. How can I, who has been free for so many years, stand it?"

Whenever he thought of the upcoming reunion, his heart, which was beating with joy for the movement of life, would pause for a moment. With his palm pressing on the slightly full breast, Jiuqi Shinobu subconsciously began to find excuses for himself to avoid it.

Such as: "I have already resigned from Narugami Taisha. What happens to the samurai Sakurasai is none of my business. Narugami Taisha has no reason to oppress former employees. This is when my lawyer's license comes in handy!"

Many reasons flashed through her mind one by one, and she became more and more irritated. Finally, Jiuqi Shinobu gave up on herself and wrapped herself in the quilt without even doing her hair. She took an empty pillow and threw it at the switch on the bedside table, then turned off the lights and planned to fall asleep.

I can’t think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more upset I get, and the more upset I get, the harder it is to sleep.

Leave today’s worries to her tomorrow, and believe in the wisdom of future generations.

"Haa~"

The green-haired girl on the bed managed to open her eyes, but she couldn't resist the sleepiness in the end. Her eyes slowly closed as her breathing became more even, and the thin quilt pressing on her body no longer rose and fell too much.

After turning off the lights in the cabin, leaving only a small desk lamp on the table, Falushan flipped through the papers recently published by scholars from the Academy of Teachings, and a feeling of melancholy that each generation is inferior to the previous one surged in her heart.

The antique seniors who are worried about the teaching of the younger generation want to hit the heads of these paper initiators with paper tubes, scold them in a tone of disappointment, and then point out the way forward for them, asking them to find a reliable centenarian senior to learn more useful knowledge.

This is better than their articles such as "The Difference Between Southern Cockroaches and Northern Cockroaches", "The Friendship of Cats and Mice: Why Cats Don't Catch Mice Nowadays", and "Kill the Desert Man".

At a glance, Falushan had no idea why they were researching these unimportant things, and she didn't understand how the Void Terminal could apply through their papers.

Because these papers don’t cost a lot of money?

The expenditure cuts were channeled into students' graduation theses. It turned out that the Educational Institute was rotten to the core.

Falusan was worried about this.

Scholars who graduate with these papers will certainly not gain much fame in the academic world, and will not threaten the research of scholars at the Institute of the Faith. However, this will give them a bad reputation in the outside world, and will make many people feel that the Institute of the Faith does not live up to its name.

No wonder there are fewer and fewer foreign students studying abroad in recent years.

"Aha--"

She covered her mouth and yawned, clear tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. She raised her fingertips to wipe away some of the tears. Falushan no longer had the heart to continue reading the paper. She propped up her chin and admired the plants on the windowsill.

As time passed slowly, the moon came from the east to the top of the sky, then from the top of the sky to the west, and was finally covered by clouds. Falushan, who had been waiting for a long time, could not help but lower her head.

"Dong dong~"

"Please... come in..." Cole, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes drowsily and rolled over in the quilt.

"You didn't sleep all night, did you?" The wooden door creaked open from the outside. Seeing that the antique senior didn't even react to his arrival, the attendant Yingzhai couldn't help but sigh in surprise, "Kole is still a child and needs enough sleep. How could I disturb her in the middle of the night?"

Unable to even convey his anger with his eyes, Falushan could only keep his eyes open and stare at the white-haired fox in front of him. His confused brain couldn't hear what he was saying.

Ke Lai sobered up a little: "Even if you are not a child who needs sleep, you can't break into a girl's room without reason."

"Old antique, look at what you have become now? You are so stupid and dumb, I don't even bother to bully you like this."

Taking out a handheld mirror and letting her look at herself, the samurai Sakurasai sighed kindly and casually patted her shoulder.

Her frail body was unable to resist the force on her shoulder, and she leaned back as soft as slime. Falushan's eyes trembled, and the warmth from the personal contact made her already strong sleepiness even worse.

Really like an antique that needed careful care, Falushan shrank inward softly, seeking more warmth, and finally closed her eyes after having remained awake all night.

Sleep……

The fox raised its tail and held Falushan, who was curled up in its tail, in its arms. Cole, who had woken up, had already jumped up from the bed and made room for her.

The samurai Sakurasai didn't dare to breathe until he placed the fragile antique on the bed, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"This child is still very clingy to me."

Covering the quilt lovingly, caressing Faluzan's hair gently with his palm, the attendant Yingzhai smiled and said:

"I still remember when we first met, she had long forgotten how to speak. Sometimes she was lucid, sometimes she was crazy. It was me who slowly took care of her, taught her how to speak, and sorted out her mental problems caused by loneliness."

Thinking back to the baby crib in Aru Village, the attendant god Yingsai was filled with sighs.

Cole blinked in alarm: "Is that really the case?"

"Are you doubting my professionalism in taking care of children?"

"Do not……"

I just wonder if you'll be able to focus on taking care of the kids.

Cole believed that at that time, Senior Falushan was simply treated as a toy, which was in line with the style of the fox demon.

The attendant god Yingzhai snorted coldly, took out a pacifier and stuffed it into Falushan's mouth, humming a nursery rhyme that is common in the Xumi Rainforest. As he hummed the melody, Falushan's slightly frowned brows gradually relaxed.

The white-haired fox raised his chin proudly.

Such an immediate effect made Ke Lai couldn't help but exclaim: "Is it really like this?"

"Of course. I was taking care of the child at the time and I didn't dare to use more force, for fear that she would have problems."

The attendant god Yingzai looked proud: "When I am serious, I am still quite serious, but you are just not lucky enough to see it. But that was in the past. If you catch a cold or get sick during the next journey, you will definitely see my serious appearance."

"No, no...Senior Falusan..." When talking about the trip to Mond, Cole was still a little worried.

"Alas, it seems that Amber is going to be disappointed this time. She has been looking forward to it for a long time, but her good friend broke the appointment. Will she cry and make a fuss, rolling on the ground, or will she lie on the table and cry silently?"

The attendant god Yingsai said kindly: "It's okay for her to cry on my shoulder. I don't mind lending her my tail to wipe her tears. However, tears from the corners of the eyes are easy to wipe away, but tears from the bottom of the heart are not easy to wipe away."

"…I'm sorry, Senior Falusan."
