Overall, the first contact between Shido Hikaru and others and Kuriyama Mirai was quite pleasant. For Shido Hikaru, Ryuuzaki Kai and Houhouji Feng, they were naturally very happy to meet someone from their own world during this long journey.
Not only that, from Kuriyama Mirai, they also learned some mysterious rumors about their own world. You know, they originally thought that things like magic would only appear in the other world, but after listening to Kuriyama Mirai's description, they realized that there were similar things around them, but they didn't know about it because they had always intentionally maintained relationships with ordinary people.
The girls were naturally very excited about this, and they pestered Kuriyama Mirai to tell them more about the aliens and youmu. After all, the other world was too far away for them, but things happening around them were another matter.
In addition, the girls' other impression of Kuriyama Mirai is...
She is a good eater...
"Please, please give me another one!"
She wolfed down the food in front of her, then Kuriyama Mirai picked up the plate embarrassedly. The stunned girls looked at each other for a moment, then Fenghuangjifeng stood up again and took a dinner and handed it over.
"Um... Kuriyama-senpai, is it really okay for you to eat so much?"
Looking at Kuriyama Mirai's flat belly, Ryuzaki Kai and Fenghuangji Feng couldn't understand why. Although Shido Hikaru ate a lot, Kuriyama Mirai's appetite was not to be underestimated. What was even more incomprehensible was that she ate so much but still had no reaction at all. It really made people wonder if her stomach was a bottomless pit.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!"
Hearing Ryuzaki Kai's question, Kuriyama Mirai trembled like a frightened hamster, and hurriedly knelt down beside him with his head lowered.
"I'm sorry, I got too carried away because I haven't had meat for a long time... I'm so sorry!"
"Ah, we're not blaming you."
Seeing Kuriyama Mirai kneeling down, the three of them were so scared that they hurriedly waved their hands. But soon, Shido Hikaru, who was also a foodie, looked at Kuriyama Mirai curiously and asked.
"But you, Kuriyama-senpai, said you haven't eaten meat for a long time. Does that mean that aliens are poor?"
"Ah... um... yes..."
Hearing Shido Mitsuru's question, Kuriyama Mirai took off her glasses and wiped them with a glasses cloth. At the same time, she glanced to the side and then lowered her head embarrassedly.
"For various reasons, I spend a lot of money... and the value of a youmu is uncertain. Last time, I spent so much effort to defeat a youmu, but I only got 2,000 yen... Now I basically only eat cheap cup noodles and rely on discounts at restaurants to survive..."
"Two thousand yen?!"
Hearing this, the three girls were completely shocked. To them, 2,000 yen was probably not even pocket money, but this Miss Kuriyama Mirai only gave 2,000 yen for killing a monster? !
This organization of alien warriors is too dark!
"Senior Kuriyama, please have some tea."
"Please also have this piece of cake..."
For a moment, the three people's expressions when looking at Kuriyama Mirai were suddenly filled with emotion and warmth, and they all served Kuriyama Mirai their favorite food. This surprised Kuriyama Mirai a little, but she still happily accepted it.
"Senior Kuriyama! When you return, why don't you sell the Youmeng Stone to our Ryuuzaki family?"
On this side, Ryuzaki Kai also patted his chest to encourage Kuriyama Mirai.
"We promise to pay a high price for it. We will never be like that alien association that offers a price of 2,000 yen to fool people!"
"Thank you, thank you."
Hearing this, Kuriyama Mirai also smiled. It seemed that she was indeed living in poverty.
After a delicious meal, the four of them went to soak in a hot spring together, and Fang Zheng naturally joined in - well, I have to explain something here, although I have seen it in the animation, but in reality, Kuriyama Mirai's chest armor thickness is not even as good as Shido Hikaru, Ryuuzaki Kai and Houhouji Feng, and can only be compared with Illya or Xiaohei...
In a way, this is quite sad, especially since she is still a high school student...
After a good sleep, the four people and the wolf continued on their journey. Kuriyama Mirai also heard from the three girls about Siphiro, the magic knights, the chaos invasion, and why he accidentally entered this world. Of course, he agreed to help - after all, the other party provided food and accommodation.
In addition, Kuriyama Mirai also asked the three girls if they had seen a girl named Iwa Sakura. From what Kuriyama Mirai said, she seemed to have been involved like herself, but she didn't know where she went. The three girls could only say that they had never seen such a person. Although this made Kuriyama Mirai a little disappointed, she didn't say anything more. After all, her relationship with the girl named Iwa Sakura was very complicated, and it was hard to explain it in a short time. Since she hadn't met... then this was the only way.
After all, Xifeiluo is so big, and no one knows where the girl was teleported to.
After that, the group naturally continued on their journey. Of course, during the journey, they encountered the monster again and defeated it, but...
"Don't you think that there are too many monsters here, which is a bit unnatural?"
Fenghuang Sifeng put down the bow and arrow in his hand and looked around in confusion, while Shitang Guang and Longqi Hai also nodded. It has been nearly half a month since they came to Xifeiluo, although most of the time they were on the road. However, they have a certain understanding of the environment of Xifeiluo. In simple terms, there will be more monsters in the deep forests where there are few people. But on some wider roads, there will be fewer monsters. Now they are walking along the main road, but they encountered so many monsters, which is obviously a bit unreasonable.
By the way, after this they finally figured out Kuriyama Mirai's combat mode - the bloodline that can freely manipulate blood as a weapon to fight is indeed surprising, but Kuriyama Mirai didn't seem to intend to talk more about this, and the three of them tactfully didn't ask.
"It's a bit strange indeed... According to the map, there should be a small town ahead. There shouldn't be so many monsters here..."
Having said this, Long Qihai suddenly paused. Although she did not continue, everyone else seemed to understand what she meant - after all, what happened in Long Qihai's school was still fresh in front of them. If the same thing happened in the town ahead as in Long Qihai's school, perhaps a lot of monsters would appear.
"Let's hurry over there."
"Um."
The four of them didn't say anything more at this moment, and hurriedly quickened their pace and moved forward along the road. It didn't take them long to arrive at a small town deep in the forest at the end of the road. At the moment, the town was deserted, and there was no trace of people. Only the bloodstains at the gate and the dilapidated houses could show what had happened to the town before.
not good!
Seeing this scene, the four of them looked slightly gloomy and hurriedly quickened their pace and walked into the town.
The whole town was dead silent.
"Xiaobai, is there anyone alive?"
Shi Tangguang looked at everything in front of him anxiously and asked in a low voice. Facing Shi Tangguang's question, Fang Zheng shook his head. He could feel that there was no trace of human life in this town, but...
"Be careful, there are many monsters here."
"boom!!"
Almost at the moment when Fang Zheng's words fell, a twisted monster broke through the window and flew out from a two-story building beside the crowd. Several tentacles flew out from behind it and shot towards the girls!
"careful!"
The first one to react was Kuriyama Mirai. She raised her right hand, and the blood in her hand instantly coagulated into a blood blade. Then facing those tentacles that were moving almost like bullets, Kuriyama Mirai quickly waved the blood blade in her right hand. With several "clang clang clang" sounds, the flying tentacles were immediately chopped into pieces by the blood blade. Then Kuriyama Mirai held the sword with both hands, and suddenly jumped up. The blood blade in her hand flashed past, and in the blink of an eye, she cut the monster into pieces.
However, this is just the beginning.
"roar--!!"
The monster's attack was like a signal. All of a sudden, all kinds of monsters appeared from all directions and rushed towards this side.
What follows, of course, is a big battle.
For Shido Hikaru and the other three, fighting monsters was already a breeze, and the addition of Kuriyama Mirai greatly increased their strength. Therefore, although the monsters ambushing in the town were fierce, they were quickly eliminated with the efforts of the four girls.
"I never thought there would be so many monsters in this town."
After making sure that all the monsters in the surrounding area had been dealt with, Long Qi Hai breathed a sigh of relief, while Fenghuang Si Feng frowned uneasily.
"Could it be that other places in Xifeiluo have become like this place..."
“…”
Hearing this, Shido Hikaru and Ryuzaki Kai both lowered their heads in disappointment. After all, their mission in coming to this world was to save Xifilo, but up to now, they haven't done anything and the people here have died.
“…”
Kuriyama Mirai looked around with a puzzled expression. She looked at the three girls and wanted to open her mouth to say something, but she said nothing.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Kuriyama Mirai's expression, Fang Zheng walked over to ask in confusion. He knew that Kuriyama Mirai was extremely introverted and she was the type who would never say anything unless he asked. If he didn't ask, she probably wouldn't say anything.
"Ah, no, no, it's nothing serious!!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question and looking at the big white wolf walking in front of him, Kuriyama Mirai waved his hands in panic.
"I just find it strange. There are so many monsters here, but why can't I see any human bodies... Could they have been eaten by monsters?"
So...
Fang Zheng was also stunned when he heard what Kuriyama Mirai said. He had just felt that something was wrong with this town. Now, after hearing what Kuriyama Mirai said, he finally grasped the sense of disharmony. Indeed, even in Long Qihai's school, there were at least corpses, but there were so many monsters in this town, and there was not even a trace of corpses to be seen... Could it be that they were really eaten up by these monsters?
