Ai snorted, but still released the tablet computer from the all-purpose capsule. Her little hands quickly swiped across it, and in less than ten minutes, a beautiful shrine design was completed.
"Here you go." She tossed the tablet to Yuzuru. "It was renovated according to the traditional shrine layout, with some modern elements added."
Yuzuru took it and nodded in satisfaction: "As expected of Ai-chan!"
"Hmph." Ai turned her face away haughtily, but couldn't help adding, "Considering functionality, I added a hot spring..."
As she spoke, she turned to look at the carpenter, Amei, who was standing to the side: "Can you get it done tonight?"
Wearing a helmet, Amei gave a thumbs up: "No problem!"
At this moment, Kimie Shimabukuro also saw the design drawings for her shrine.
“It’s perfect…” She clasped her hands together devoutly: “Thank you, God.”
Ai: "......"
—It was clearly my design!
"Buyi!"
Yingying jumped onto Ai's shoulder and nuzzled her face comfortingly.
Don't be angry, our "Sob Sob" duo is the best!
.............
As night fell, the backyard of the villa remained brightly lit.
With the design drawings in hand, carpenter Ame's work efficiency was astonishing. In just a short while, the originally luxurious Twilight Villa began to gradually take on the appearance of a solemn and elegant shrine.
“meiko~”
The empress poked her head out of the river and curiously glanced at the bustling scene on the bank.
After evolving, she became even more slender and graceful, and her body became much larger. She could no longer stay in the small fish tank, and her residence was moved from inside the villa to the crystal-clear river in the backyard.
The entire Uglyfish family circled around her, but the Empress disdainfully flicked her tail.
Forgetting one's roots is a compulsory lesson for every Milotic.
This empress is so beautiful, like a fairy in the water, how could she possibly be related to these ugly fish with plain looks?
In the darkness, a fluffy little head peeked out from a big tree on the bank, its big, dark eyes gleaming cunningly in the darkness, staring intently at the empress in the river who was admiring her unparalleled beauty.
As he looked at it, a wicked smile crept onto his lips.
"Buyi!"
Another victim has fallen for the trap; the scheme to flatter and then destroy has been successfully completed.
The evolved Empress, like Bobo, is no longer taken seriously by a certain whiny monster.
When it comes to vying for favor, the fox spirit clan is the most adept.
How could a mere empress compare to myself?
............
On the villa's terrace, Yuzuru was leisurely lying in a rocking chair, gazing at the starry sky. A gentle breeze carried the coolness of the night, allowing him to relax completely.
"What are you thinking about?"
Ai's voice came from behind.
She held a cup of hot cocoa and gently placed it on the coffee table next to Yuzuru Hanyu.
"I was thinking about... what happened on Mermaid Island." Yuzuru reached out, took the cup, and took a small sip, the sweet aroma of hot cocoa spreading in his mouth. "Although I've resolved Junhui's problem, I still feel..."
"What do you think?"
Ai sat down beside him, her legs dangling in the air and gently swinging.
"I feel there is still too much darkness in this world." Yuzuru spread his hands and sighed. "Even we can only save a few people."
Ai Haibara remained silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought.
Suddenly, she raised her hand and slapped someone on the head with a clean, swift, and merciless motion.
"asshole!"
She glared at him, annoyed. "Why don't you just say you want to save every pretty girl?"
"Huh~"
Yuzuru was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Ai actually saw through it. No wonder she's the smartest person in our family."
"Only an idiot wouldn't notice, right?"
Ai crossed her arms and turned her face away, her fair little feet dangling gently in the air. Under the moonlight, her delicate profile was tinged with a proud blush.
Everyone knows each other well. She knew all too well how lecherous her young master was. He was the kind of person who wouldn't even spare a simple, kind, weak, pitiful, and helpless little girl like herself.
Yuzuru couldn't help but tease her again with his old trick: "So, is Ai jealous?"
"Who, who would be jealous of a womanizer like you!" Ai slapped his hand away like a cat with its fur standing on end. "I just think if you keep going like this, sooner or later you'll..."
What will happen?
"It will be hacked to pieces."
Ai uttered that terrifying word with a blank expression.
"......"
Yuzuru suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
"However..." the little girl's voice suddenly softened, "if this is your choice..."
She turned her head, her icy blue eyes gleaming in the moonlight: "I will take care of your funeral arrangements."
Yuzuru: "???"
This conversation is getting more and more terrifying!
Can I say I'm just simply soft-hearted...?
Yes, yes, yes~
"Hey! What kind of tone is that?!"
Just as the two were bickering, the terrace door was pushed open again, and Kazuha's energetic voice came through: "What are you two talking about? Everyone's playing games in the living room, come on over!"
"Okay, coming right away." Yu Shengnan stood up, casually ruffled Ai's hair again, and quickly slipped away before the little girl could get angry.
"Damn it! Don't run away!"
In the living room, everyone sat together.
