Chapter 2403: Talking, Not Doing



After sending Asagi back to rest, Airi went for a walk outside and gave her robots orders and plans for building hot spring facilities, and then returned home just in time for dinner. By this time, Nagisa and the others had naturally finished shopping and returned home with Yuma.

"Ah, sis, you're back. Dinner is ready, too. Setsuna and Astarute helped out, so it's sure to be delicious!"

As soon as she entered the house, Nagisa greeted Ai Li with a smile, and Ai Li nodded slightly. The room was already filled with the aroma of delicious food, which made people salivate.

"I'm back, did you have fun?"

"Of course, it would be nice if you were here too, sister..."

At this point, Nagisa pouted somewhat unhappily, while Airi smiled and patted her head without saying anything, then walked into the living room. At this moment, everyone else had already sat down at the dining table, and when they saw Airi appear, they all looked up at her, and one of them, a girl with short hair, who looked full of neutral beauty and a very outstanding figure, smiled and waved at Airi.

"Hey, Ellie, long time no see. You are getting more and more beautiful."

"Long time no see, Yuuma, you too."

Facing the greeting from Xiandu Mu Yuma, Ai Li also responded with a smile, as calm as if she were meeting an ordinary friend, neither salty nor bland, neither excited nor disgusted. The others were somewhat relieved when they saw this scene. Although they didn't know what happened between the two, because of what happened yesterday, everyone was also worried about the tension between the two sides. Now it seems... this is not a big problem.

So it soon entered the lively dinner time.

Yuma was just like Airi remembered, she was able to liven up the atmosphere, talking and laughing at the table, very likable. Nagisa was also a good match for her, talking back and forth and telling stories of the past like a crosstalk, while the other three listened to their chat as if it was a crosstalk, and Airi ate and drank as usual - she usually didn't talk much at the table, and now everything was the same, and no one would think there was anything strange.

I don't know if it was out of consideration for Airi, Nagisa mainly asked about Yuma's recent life. She also talked about her life after arriving at Genkami Island, and rarely mentioned her childhood. Yuma also cooperated and chatted, and finally everyone agreed to dress up and participate in the eve of the festival - this festival in Genkami City is actually Halloween. If the Halloween celebration was not held in the Demon Special Zone, it would really cause a Hundred Demons Night Parade, and it would not even be so big.

This festival is also a holiday where many demons can show off openly. After all, if you try to look cool on a normal day you will just be considered a psycho. However, performing at the festival can not only show your strength but also make a name for yourself. It is an occasion that many demons yearn for.

This is also the reason why people from other places would come to Gengami Island to participate in the Halloween celebrations. After all, the ghost parades in other places are just imitations of Cosplay, while Gengami Island has the real thing!

There is a huge difference between taking a photo with someone who is cosplaying as a minotaur and taking a photo with a real minotaur. Therefore, every time the festival comes, many people will come to Genshin Island to celebrate Halloween... Well, to be honest, it is really strange for the demons to celebrate Halloween.

Today, in addition to shopping, the girls mainly bought clothes for the pre-festival parade. Of course, Airi didn't need to buy any. According to Nagisa, "My sister cosplays as a witch every day, so there's no need to think about it anymore."

Well, she is her biological sister, and Ai Li said she would not beat her to death.

After playing for a while, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. The house built by Ai Li is a bit like a student apartment or dormitory, with a public canteen and entertainment room, but each room is separated, which can also be used as a guest room when someone comes. Yuma greeted everyone with a smile and went to her room to rest, while Ai Li stared at her back until Yuma walked into the room, then she retracted her gaze and went back to her room.

According to Ai Li, it would be best if Yuma really gave up and just came here to have fun.

But unfortunately, when the other party knocked on her door late at night, Ellie knew that the situation was not that simple.

"Hey, Ellie, you're still awake?"

"Just getting ready for bed."

Ai Li's expression did not change as she looked at Yuma, who was standing at the door with a smile on her face.

"It's so late, what do you want?"

"It's nothing serious, but I haven't seen you for a long time, so I want to have a good chat... Do you have time?"

Yuma was wearing a witch-like off-shoulder outfit and black stockings, and she didn't look like she was going to sleep at all. Ai Li stared at her and made a decision after a moment of silence.

"……certainly."

Faced with Yuma's inquiring eyes, Ai Li hesitated for a moment, then nodded and opened the door.

"Come in."

Hearing Ai Li's agreement, Yuma walked into the room with a smile, then sat on the sofa and stared at Ai Li. There was a bit of curiosity and a little cunning in her eyes.

"You're still the same as before, neither hot nor cold."

"Because I don't really want Nagisa to get involved in any trouble."

Airi stared at Yuma and spoke. She didn't intend to beat around the bush. In fact, Airi knew Yuma's situation was not simple when she was a child. He lived alone in a big house in the mountains, and was followed by some guys with magic. Frankly speaking, if it was her, it wouldn't matter, but Airi didn't want Nagisa to be involved in any trouble. Therefore, her attitude towards Yuma has always been a little cold and distant. In this way, even if something happened, Nagisa would at least not get too involved.

And it turns out that Nagisa still listens to her, but her connection with Yuma has not been cut off.

"You know this will make people think you're a sister-con."

"Is it bad to have a sister crush? Sisters are so cute that they should be loved."

Ai Li said this is based on experience. What's wrong with falling in love with girls? Not everyone can fall in love with girls!

"Yeah, it's nice to have a sister who loves her little sister..."

Hearing this, Yuma looked at Ai Li with a complicated expression.

"In fact, sometimes I envy Nagisa because she has such a loving sister..."

Ai Li didn't respond, but just handed over a cup of tea and stared at Yuma.

"So I want to make it clear to you, Yuuma, isn't it good to just enjoy the festival happily?"

Ai Li stared at Yuma and asked softly. She naturally hoped that everything would go well. The other party just came to the room to reminisce about the past, and there was no other intention. But unfortunately, with Ai Li's experience of "going through hundreds of battles", anyone who came to the room and suddenly started to open up at this time either wanted to fight in the **, or wanted to take a final adventure.

Ai Li thought that she and Yuma were not familiar enough to play wrestling in private, so there was obviously only one reason for her late night visit.

"happy?"

However, when hearing Ai Li's question, Yuma's expression darkened slightly.

"Of course I'm happy. I was able to see Nagisa again, to see you, and you're doing well, and you all have a lot of good friends. But I'm not just here to be happy... I want to get away from it all, so... I'm sorry!"

As soon as the voice fell, Yuma, who was originally sitting on the sofa, turned around and suddenly appeared in front of Ai Li. Then she reached out and grabbed the girl's shoulder. At the same time, along with Yuma's movements, the surrounding space seemed to sense something and gradually began to vibrate.

At the same time, Yuma saw Ai Li looking up - in the moonlight, her bright red eyes shone with an eerie glow.

"No, I should be the one saying sorry. I'm sorry, Yuuma."

"Why?"

Yuma was stunned for a moment when she heard Ai Li's words. However, before she could come to her senses, she saw Ai Li reaching out her hand and hugging her. Yuma lost her balance and suddenly fell back on the sofa. At the same time, Ai Li had grabbed her right hand with one hand and leaned close to her ear.

Yuma also sensed the danger at this moment, and she instinctively wanted to do something, but before she could open her mouth, Ai Li's left hand had already covered Yuma's mouth. Her right hand was like a pair of pliers, tightly grasping the girl's slender arm, making it impossible for her to struggle or move.

Then the next moment, she opened her mouth and bit Yuma's snow-white neck hard.

“——!!!”

Painful gasps sounded from the dim room. In the moonlight, one could clearly see a pair of legs wrapped in black stockings sticking out from the sofa, dancing desperately, like fish that had come ashore. The insteps were arched hard, and the delicate, carefully trimmed toes curled up into a ball, then slowly opened... Then after a moment, the taut legs slowly fell down, and collapsed to the ground like a dead fish.

It was dark as night.

The night remains.

The whole room looked no different from before, with only the dull and faint panting sounds echoing in it and then disappearing. Under the moonlight, the only thing that could be seen was the slightly swaying and entangled dark shadows reflected on the floor.

Soon, the dark night covered everything.
