Chapter 13 Chapter 13
Arriving at the garden, Yumi felt like he was entering a huge palette. The sea of flowers rippled in the evening breeze, and he was a sudden bright embellishment.
There are many flat trails here, which is a good place for Yumi to practice driving.
The sky was full of rosy clouds, and Ansius was sitting on a wooden chair in front of the goldfish pond. He was holding a book in his hand, flipping through it while keeping an eye on Yumi who was driving over there.
Yumi was afraid of disturbing him from reading, so she tried not to drive near the goldfish pond during driving practice. As a result, after a while, the monster left the goldfish pond with the book and sat next to the fork in the path that the sports car could not avoid.
Yumi was a little concerned at first, but soon she started practicing driving to her heart's content.
Although it had wings, scales and terrifying horns, Ansius's lowered eyes and the perfect solemnity and calmness in his every move made Yumi forget several times that it was a monster when she passed by.
As he drove past Ansius again, Yumi glanced at the book - "The Human Handbook Every Sna Star Person Should Read".
After a moment of surprise, Yumi continued to concentrate on driving.
The Sna people have always admired the human appearance, and the crown prince of the empire had previously watched documentaries about humans, which shows that he is interested in this and he must have read some related books on a regular basis.
After the sports car drove away, Ansius turned his attention back to the book.
[Humans are very small in size. The tallest human fossil discovered so far is more than two meters tall... This is a huge difference from the size of the Sna people.]
[Humans do not have alien forms. From birth to death, they will always maintain a perfect human form except for the changes brought by age. However, humans generally have a short lifespan. According to expert research, their average lifespan is about 70 years old, and those over 100 years old are rare. This is significantly different from the average lifespan of the Snarkites, who are over 200 years old.]
Suddenly, Yumi, who was turning a corner, heard a tearing sound, and he immediately stopped the car to look.
Not far away, Ansius was tearing the book in half with his terrifying claws. His angry face looked a little anxious when he looked at him.
Carl thought the prince had gone berserk again. Just as he was about to contact the guards, he saw the monster over there turn another page of the torn book in his hand, and then slowly calmed down...
Page 35 of "The Human Handbook Every Sna Star Person Should Read":
[According to a research by an expert, the secret of maintaining a long life may be closely related to diet...]
Under the paulownia tree.
After making sure that the prince was not in a violent state, Karl took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and walked quickly to the side of the sports car with his handbag: "It's okay, His Highness Anxius just used too much strength and accidentally tore the book into pieces."
Yumi uttered an "oh" in a daze, and then saw Carl take out a stuffed cat from his handbag and put it on his passenger seat: "Can I put it here?"
Not long ago, Yumi was too happy while taking a ride. When she passed by him, she subconsciously shouted, "Do you want to get in the car?" After she shouted, she realized how funny the sentence was, and drove away with a grin.
Karl was thinking about something else. No one in the manor could ride in that sports car except Yumi. Wouldn't it be boring to drive alone for a long time?
So he took the kitten doll over.
A real cat would run around and might even hurt little Yumi, but this stuffed cat looks almost the same as a real cat and can also serve as a companion, which is the best.
Yumi was pleasantly surprised. He leaned over and fastened the seat belt on the fake cat. "Is this also a monitor? Is it used as a dashcam?"
“…”
Carl groaned but held back in time: “No, this is a toy cat, but you can use it as a passenger to practice driving skills.”
"I see." Yumi nodded, and when he restarted the convertible, the speed was noticeably slower, as if the person sitting next to him was not a toy, but a real life.
Carl couldn't help but take several photos and calmly posted them to the group.
[(Empire Baby related work) Public funds for watching videos]
Carl: [Picture] My colleagues were practicing driving, and I was supervising them...
After posting the photo, ignoring the commotion in the group, Karl smiled and walked towards the car over there...
Night falls and it's time to go home.
Ansius stood up and led the way, while Yumi drove back.
After driving into the garage, Yumi got out of the car and quickly walked to the other door. He opened the door, unbuckled the seat belt, took the kitten down and returned it to the stunned Karl: "I have practiced it very well today, I will give it back to you."
Karl was distracted for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, “This, this is a toy given by the merchant when you buy a car. It is useless to us. You can take it!”
Yumi looked at the kitten toy carefully and felt that it was too small for them, so she smiled and thanked them, then carried the kitten back to the house with Prince Ansius who was waiting for her outside.
When he went upstairs, he found that the monster had been staring at the kitten in his arms and whispered, "Do you want it?"
Antheus blinked slowly and suddenly reached out to him.
Yumi immediately lifted the kitten, but the terrifying claws were placed directly on his head.
Yumi felt his head and horns being gently touched, and he looked up in confusion.
"Do you want to keep a cat?" Antheus asked him.
Yumi paused, then quickly shook her head.
He has not yet been able to gain a foothold on the planet Sna, and nothing in the future is certain. He doesn't even know if he will be fired again in the next day for various reasons... Raising a pet is not something he should consider at the moment - he can live a tight life, but his pet cannot.
After Ansius sent him back to the castle that occupied half of the master bedroom, he went out with a few books.
Seems like something is going on.
The prince naturally had a lot of things to do, so Yumi didn't think much about it. He walked into the castle, opened his suitcase, prepared to pack up, take a shower and go to bed.
There was an exclusive small bathroom in the castle. Yumi closed the doors, windows and curtains, took a quick shower, ran some hot water, and texted Lin En while taking a bath.
[Yomi: I have a work car! I drove it today [excited.jpg]]
[Lynn: Wow! You can actually drive! ]
Lin En knew that the conditions at the base outside were not good, and the roads were not as easy to travel as those in the capital. Many factories there would equip cars that could be used by a group of people for the sake of efficiency, but he still felt that it was amazing that little Yumi could do these things.
As the two chatted, Lin En decided to remind Yumi.
[Lynn: By the way, have any strange people approached you recently?]
[Yomi: No, what's wrong? ]
Only then did Lin En feel relieved.
[Lin En: Mimi, your human form is so good, you must be careful of bad guys outside! ]
[Yomi: I will!] He is a human being, so he has to be extremely careful when he is among a group of monsters.
After the bath and the pleasant chat, Yumi put on the pajamas she brought with her and stood in front of the mirror to blow dry her hair.
The pajamas he was wearing were a little wrinkled and the style was very casual. At first glance, they looked like a small sack with a doll on it, which was a bit out of place with the gorgeous and noble decoration behind him.
However, Yumi loved this pajamas.
The new clothes that the monster had put in his cart had not been washed yet, and as for the cloakroom in the small castle, he had only looked at it and had not touched it. After all, he had brought clothes with him, so Yumi felt that it was enough.
This set of pajamas was made by him himself.
The old doll clothes that were recycled before were mainly used for decoration, so comfort was naturally not considered. So even if there were pajamas styles, they were not very comfortable to wear. So Yumi made pajamas by herself.
The raw materials for the pajamas didn't cost anything - when he first entered the furniture factory, it happened to be a small festival on the planet Sna, and the factory gave each worker a bag of flour.
When Youmi was using flour to cook, she discovered that the cloth bags used to hold the flour were very soft and delicate, much softer than the free cloth distributed by the factory!
The flour is finely packaged, with two layers of cloth bags inside and outside.
He washed the flour bag thoroughly, took it apart and made himself a set of loose and simple pajamas.
After blow-drying his hair, Yumi went to study the skin care products on the bedroom dressing table. He hesitantly picked up a bottle, and after seeing the words "moisturizing" and "sample" on it, he sprayed it on his face.
...It feels so comfortable, my skin is not tight at all!
Yumi was still studying those bottles and jars when the computer started beeping.
It was an unfamiliar number. After answering, a male voice with a broadcasting accent came from the other end: "Hello, is this Mr. Yumi?"
"I am……"
"This is the organizer of the hole-drilling competition. We have received your application. Are you really only 1.7 meters tall? If you are found to have falsely reported your height, you will be disqualified."
Yumi was not so sure at once. He hesitated and said, "Maybe there is a centimeter deviation... but if he wears slippers, he must be over 1.7 meters tall!"
There was silence on the other end, and after a while, they said, "The standard for falsely reporting height here is a difference of one meter or more. Are you sure you got the right unit?"
Yumi: "No, I'm really 1.7 meters tall."
There was silence for a moment, and then the question was asked according to procedure: "If the information you filled out is true, there will be no problem for you to participate in the preliminary round. The preliminary round will be held this Saturday. Because the competition is dangerous to a certain extent, the consent of the contestants' families is required. Could you please fill in your family's contact information again?"
Yumi was stunned.
Thinking he didn't want to fill it out, they explained, "We will strictly protect your privacy. We do this because a contestant had an accident in the past, and we fought a lawsuit with the contestant's family for many years. Because of this example, we now have to obtain the family's consent... If you don't have a good relationship with your family, or have stopped contact with them and live alone, you can just show proof."
“I’m an orphan,” Yumi said, “so I don’t have any family numbers, and I can show proof that I live alone.”
He did not lie this time. Before crossing over, Yumi was indeed an orphan. When he was in elementary school, his parents died in a natural disaster, and he lived with his relatives...On the eve of the apocalypse, Yumi happened to return to his empty home, planning to work part-time during the holidays to save some money.
To some extent, he felt that his encounter with Lin En was like a kind of attraction between the same sex.
The man was stunned for a moment, then whispered an apology, and then said, "Okay, I understand. In your case, you need to at least fill in the contact information of a friend, so that if there is any emergency, we can also contact your friend... Of course, it would be even better if your friend can accompany you to the competition."
Yumi filled in Lin En's contact information: "Okay, but the escort... I need to ask him if he has time."
The other party explained some rules of the game, and the two parties confirmed some details before hanging up the phone.

Here in the kitchen, Ansius is working on a recipe for human health.
The cook said timidly, "Your Highness Anxius, should I do the cutting?"
The monster shook his head, held the knife handle with his two sharp claws, carefully cut the white radish and put it into the earthenware jar.
The cook had no idea why he suddenly came to the kitchen to cook, and it was this kind of health-preserving soup! Ever since Anxius entered the kitchen, she felt uneasy. She almost suspected that her cooking skills were not good enough and she was about to lose her job...
But even if the prince was not satisfied with her cooking skills, he should have immediately replaced her. Why would he cook for her personally? !
Finally, when the white radish and old duck soup was ready, the cook mustered up the courage to ask, "Your Highness Anxius, may I ask... may I ask if the food has not been to your liking recently?"
The other person's mind was on the pot of soup. He shook his head when he heard the voice, and after the soup was served, he put down a book called "Human Diet Research" and left.
The cook was relieved and picked up the book with a puzzled look on her face...
Upstairs bedrooms.
When Anxius pushed the door open with the small bowl of health-preserving soup, he was stunned.
At the end of the sight, Yumi was walking out of the pink castle, standing on tiptoe to put a washed fig in her hand on the coffee table in the bedroom area. After putting it there, she saw him coming back and hurriedly explained: "I brought the fruit, let you try it."
The monster seemed to have turned into a sculpture, standing at the door and staring at him.
In that pair of golden eyes, there was a little person wearing loose beige pajamas. The pajamas were a bit old, but looked very skin-friendly, but there were many words printed on them...
[Delicious flour, three star coins per pound.]
【Super white, super fragrant, super chewy! 】
Antheus's breathing almost stopped.
Under the bright lights, Yumi waved to the monster after delivering the fruit. When he turned and walked towards the castle, the back of his pajamas was naturally exposed:
【Net content 10kg】
【Every grain is carefully selected】
[The Sna people all said it was delicious after eating it! 】
