Chapter 460: Schoolmate's Friend
Apartment, South District, Gengojima Island.
When the streets outside started to become noisy, as if there was an event or a parade taking place, Aize returned to his home with Himeragi Setsuna.
"Come in, there's no one else in the house except us."
Aize opened the door and walked into the apartment, taking off his shoes while saying something that could easily be misunderstood.
"Excuse me."
Himeragi Yukina obviously didn't think of going to any strange place. After greeting them nervously, she followed Aize into the living room.
"That's the room I'm staying in now, and this is the room that Yeze Natsune is staying in now. The first princess of the Kingdom of Aldikia also lived in this room before, but she probably won't be coming back anymore, so you can live with Yeze."
Aize briefly introduced the situation at home to Himehira Setsuna, who nodded seriously while saying something.
"Is it okay? Will Yeze Natsune agree to stay in the same room with me?"
Although Setsuna Himeragi lacks common sense in life, she is not a dull girl who knows nothing.
She knew that it was generally difficult for two people to accept living in the same room when they first met, even if they were of the same sex.
She herself didn't care. After all, she had already prepared herself mentally for this. Moreover, she had a mission to accomplish, and the closer she could be to Yease Natsune, the better. This was exactly what Himeragi Setsuna wanted.
But whether Yeze Natsune would agree is another matter.
"Don't worry, Ye Ze is easy to get along with." Ai Ze said to Himehira Yukina with a smile: "She is actually a little afraid of loneliness. If she knows that she can make new friends and the two sides can have a good relationship to sleep in the same bed, then she will not only not feel repulsive, but will be very happy."
This girl can even sleep peacefully in her own bed, so what’s the problem with her sleeping with Himeragi Setsuna?
Given her personality, she would probably be very happy to accept Himeragi Setsuna, right?
"I see." Himeragi Yukina nodded seriously, then pointed to a room and said, "Then, senior, who lives in that room?"
Hearing this, Aize did not answer the question, but walked over and opened the door.
"Wow!"
Suddenly, when Himeragi Setsuna saw the scene in the room, her eyes lit up, and for the first time she let out a cry of joy befitting her age.
"Meow~~"
"Meow~~"
In the room, there were a dozen kittens, like chicks waiting for their mother to return. They swarmed towards the door, making baby cries.
"Cats! Yes, there are cats! There are so many cats, Senior!"
Himeragi Setsuna's emotions were so high that she seemed like a different person. She grabbed Aize's shoulders and shook him, and her eyes were shining with unprecedented brilliance as she looked at the kittens swarming towards her, and she looked extremely excited.
"Meow~~"
"Meow~~"
The kittens immediately gathered obediently at Himeragi Setsuna's feet, making her usually serious face melt away.
"Wow, so cute, so good..."
Himeragi Setsuna immediately squatted down, even throwing the guitar case containing the Type-7 Assault Demon-Slaying Machine Gun on the ground, and picked up a cat and rubbed it against it, laughing very happily.
Seeing this, Aize smiled as expected.
He already knew that Himeragi Setsuna loved cats.
When she was in Takami-no-Mori, Himehira Setsuna was collecting merchandise related to cat characters. There were many cat dolls in her dormitory, and even the covers of her exercise books were often covered with stickers or sketches of cat heads. She couldn't hide her identity as a cat lover at all.
If this girl didn't have a mobile phone and didn't watch TV, Aize would doubt whether she would watch cat videos and cat-funny shows every day.
Unfortunately, cats are not allowed in Gaoshen-no-Mori. The only cat that can appear in front of Himerahira Setsuna is the black cat that is the Shikigami of Yuundo Yuu. That cat is her master, and there is no way she can pet it.
In such a situation, suddenly a dozen baby kittens with baby voices appeared in front of Himeragi Setsuna. It was impossible for this girl not to be extremely surprised.
"I have converted this room into a cat room." Ai Ze smiled at Himehira Yukina who was squatting there playing with the cat, "So I can't let you stay here. I'm really sorry."
"Cat room..." Himeragi Yukina immediately raised her head, looked at Aize pitifully, and said, "Can't I live here?"
This girl already wants to live in the same room with the cat.
"This place is full of cat litter and cat food. Other than that there are only some cat toys that Yeze and Nagisa bought. How can it be lived in?"
Aize said with a smile.
"It's okay." Himeragi Yukina said quickly, "I don't need a bed, just give me a cardboard box."
"Rejected." Aize rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "If that evil girl Huang Saka knew that I let you live in my house and sleep in a cardboard box, she would definitely shoot me with the Six-style Heavy-duty Demon-slaying Bow."
"The cats are right here. If you want to play with them, you can do so at home anytime. They listen to me."
"Just move in with Ye Ze and don't come over here and sleep with the cat."
Aize gave a direct order, causing Himeragi Yukina to puff up her cheeks.
"All right."
The girl was a little disappointed, but when she saw the kittens surrounding her, she immediately smiled happily again.
Just then, the door of the apartment was opened.
"Aijun, are you there? Are you back?"
Akatsuki Nagisa, who already had a spare key to Aize's house, opened the door without warning and poked her head out from the corridor, entering the sight of Aize and Himeragi Setsuna.
"The fourth true ancestor!"
Himeragi Setsuna immediately reacted excessively, grabbing the guitar case on the ground and putting her hand on the zipper.
"calm!"
Aize quickly held down Himeragi Yukina's shoulders to stop her from taking out the Seven-Type Assault Demon-Slaying Machine Gun.
"Eh? Eh? What what?" Akatsuki Nagisa was frightened by Himeragi Setsuna's overreaction. She looked around in shock and exclaimed, "Fourth True Ancestor? What fourth true ancestor? The one in urban legends? A vampire true ancestor has appeared?"
Not only was the little girl frightened, her face turned pale and she was showing signs of trembling.
Don't forget that Nagisa Akatsuki is phobic towards demons, so what Himeragi Setsuna said was very irritating to her.
"Calm down, too." Aize grabbed Nagisa's hand and said while comforting her, "Where is the true vampire? How could such a big shot appear in such a small apartment?"
"That's true." Nagisa Akatsuki finally calmed down and said with lingering fear: "I was scared to death. I thought the urban legend was going to appear next to me."
"...I'm sorry, it's my fault." Himeragi Yukina also calmed down, pursed her lips, looked deeply at Akane Nagisa, then bent down and bowed, saying: "I heard some urban legends about Genkami Island not long ago, and I felt a little scared, so I overreacted."
"So that's how it is." Nagisa Akatsuki suddenly realized and immediately smiled cheerfully, saying, "It's okay. Genshin Island is a special area for demons after all. It's normal to have many scary urban legends, such as the fourth true ancestor and the prison barrier. If you are interested, I can tell you about it."
"By the way... who are you? Are you an acquaintance of Ai-kun? Why haven't I seen you before? Are you from the local area? Are you here to participate in the Harokuin Festival?"
Nagisa Akatsuki blinked and looked at Himeragi Setsuna, and suddenly her eyes began to light up.
"Oh, take a closer look, you are so beautiful, you are no less beautiful than Xia Yin, just like a princess."
"What's your name? How old are you? You look like you're the same age as me? Did you come to Genkami Island alone?"
"Ai-jun, you are such a fool. It turns out that you also have friends coming over to play. And they are so pretty. Are you two in a relationship?"
Akatsuki Nagisa spat out words like a string of cannonballs, looking so excited and talkative that even Himeragi Setsuna was shocked.
"Um... My name is Himeragi Setsuna, I'm fourteen years old this year, and I'll be fifteen in two months. I came to Genkami Island alone."
Seeing that Nagisa Akatsuki was about to continue talking, Himeragi Setsuna quickly interrupted her and introduced herself.
"Senior Aize and I are not that kind of relationship. We just went to the same school before. This time I came to Genshin Island because I transferred to another school. Senior took me in temporarily so that I would not be homeless."
This was the origin that Aize deliberately made up for Himeragi Setsuna before coming here.
The two of them had already talked it over, and whenever someone asked about it, they would just slightly alter their past experiences and give an excuse.
"Setsuna-chan, right?" Akatsuki Nagisa enthusiastically held Himehira Setsuna's hand, still unable to hide her excitement and said, "Is your last name Himehira? You look more and more like a princess!"
"Are you transferring here? To Saikai Academy? If you're fourteen, that makes you the same age as me, right? Doesn't that mean we'll be in the same grade? Maybe even in the same class?"
"That's great! Setsuna-chan! Please come to Saikai Academy! Come to the junior high school third grade class C!"
It seems that Akatsuki Nagisa had a very good first impression of Himerahira Setsuna and fell in love with her at first sight.
“Senior…”
However, Himeragi Setsuna couldn't resist Akatsuki Nagisa's enthusiasm and cast a look towards Aize as if asking for help.
"Well, she didn't mean any harm. It's probably because you look very much like her, so she likes you so much, right?" Aize smiled bitterly, spread his hands, and said helplessly, "Yase is not here now anyway, so just treat her as the second Kirasaka and keep her company for a while?"
Well, if Kirasaka Sayaka met Himeragi Setsuna, she would definitely not be less enthusiastic than Akatsuki Nagisa, right?
No, that person might just hug Himeragi Setsuna and hold her tightly, take her home, cling to her all night long, and treat Himeragi Setsuna like a big doll.
Compared to her, Akatsuki Nagisa is just a bit talkative, which is already pretty good.
"Why is this so..."
The way Himeragi Yukina looked at Aize was as if she was looking at a traitor.
"Let's go, Setsuna, let's go to my house!" Nagisa Akatsuki firmly grasped Setsuna Himeragi's hand and said with a smile: "I'll introduce my friend to you, um... and by the way, I'll introduce Kojou-kun."
"Ai-jun, come here quickly. I have prepared a sumptuous dinner. Let's eat together!"
As she said that, Nagi Akatsuki picked up Setsuna Himeragi and walked outside.
"Ah! Wait! Cat!"
However, Himeragi Setsuna seemed reluctant to leave the cats and looked reluctant to leave.
Aize watched the two girls leave and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
"Okay, go back first, I'll come find you later."
Aize gave orders to the cats at his feet.
"Meow~~"
"Meow~~"
The kittens, who had long been transformed into monsters by Aize and became his messengers, returned to the room without saying a word. Some of them even jumped out through the window and went to patrol the nearby area.
Aize then followed Nagisa Akatsuki and Setsuna Himeragi out of the room and went to the Akatsuki home.
…………
Like Aize's family, Xiao's family has three bedrooms and a living room with a kitchen and dining room. It is a house that is a little too cramped for a family to live in, but would seem too spacious if one person lives alone.
Compared with Aize's house, Xiao's family has been living there for four years, so the configuration in all aspects is relatively complete, and there are more miscellaneous items. It has more life atmosphere than Aize's house, but it also seems a little more crowded.
When Aize followed Akatsuki Nagisa and came here, Akatsuki Kojou was chatting happily with a girl in the living room of Akatsuki's house.
"Xiaoyou! Guchengjun! I brought Aijun and his friends here!"
Akatsuki Nagisa's cheerful voice immediately rang out, causing the two people who were chatting happily to turn their heads and look at the three people.
"Really? Why did you call this guy over here?"
As soon as Xiao Gucheng saw Aize's face, his expression immediately turned sour.
"Are they Nagisa's friends?"
The girl raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a beautiful and lively smile.
Upon closer inspection, the girl was actually very beautiful and had a great temperament.
She has a short bob with curls at the ends, and wears a hooded tunic from a sports brand and shorts that reveal her long and slender thighs. Her thin calves and the thick-lined basketball shoes are a particularly pretty combination, creating the image of a lively and cheerful beauty.
"Let me introduce her." Nagisa Akatsuki took the initiative to introduce her, and said to Aize and Himeragi Yukina, "She is Yuuma Sentoki, a childhood playmate of Kojou-kun and I. She was our neighbor until we came to Genkami Island four years ago. She can be considered a childhood sweetheart who grew up with us!"
"Hello, Nagisa's friends." Sendumi Yuuma's voice was very clear, a voice in the middle range, pleasant and unique, making people unconsciously feel good about it, and said: "You are the Ai-kun that Nagisa has been talking about, right? My Nagisa seems to be taken care of by you!"
Sendumi Yuuma greeted Aize with a cheerful attitude.
"We just happened to live together, and we didn't mention it all the time!"
The one who said this was not Akatsuki Nagisa, but Akatsuki Kojou.
However, although Akatsuki Kojou was unhappy, he couldn't help but look at Himerahira Setsuna.
"Who is she?"
Akatsuki Kojou was a little puzzled, yet seemed somewhat attracted to Himeragi Setsuna.
