This guy is so narcissistic! Even though what he said might be true, I still think he's very narcissistic. What's wrong with him? He's completely different from the savior I remember. Alicia was extremely frustrated.
Otome couldn't help but burst out laughing, then quickly stopped herself from laughing. Rinka was also grinning, her expression almost identical to Alicia's. They shared the same feeling, though they thought what Mu Xiaoxiao said might be true.
But such a boastful attitude and exaggerated self-promotion are hard to believe, which is strange.
“Mu Jun, you’re really interesting,” Yi Nu’s eyes curved into crescent moons as she revealed a breathtakingly beautiful smile. “Even though he’s telling the truth, he gives off the feeling of talking nonsense with a straight face. Hehe~.”
As Mira's people, she and Rinka naturally stood on Mu Xiaoxiao's side. When Miss Alicia said she wanted to find a savior, Mu Xiaoxiao was the first person they thought of. These girls, the guards of Tsubakihara Mira, had a completely different attitude towards Mu Xiaoxiao than towards other men, based on what they heard and heard.
In comparison, Alicia was much more troubled. Seemingly noticing the girl's conflicted expression, Mu Xiaoxiao put away her arrogant and self-assured demeanor, patted her shoulder, and said with an unusually bright smile, "Miss Alicia, don't worry about it so much."
"Whether I believe it or not doesn't matter, whether I am a savior or not doesn't matter either. I will go to your world sooner or later anyway. After all, your appearance has proven that worlds can be connected. Even if it's just for the safety of this world, I have to go."
I don't want to wait until those monsters are already at my doorstep before I have to deal with them hastily. "In this respect, we also have common goals. Whether I am a savior or not, we can be good allies, can't we?"
It has to be said that Mu Xiaoxiao looks much more convincing and reliable when he's serious. And what he said is right: forming an alliance with such a mysterious and powerful being would not be bad for him; it would even increase his strength.
At least Mu Xiaoxiao is much better than Bolt from the Black Beast Mercenary Group, although that guy can be quite exasperating sometimes...
"Mu-jun is right. Anyway, we can all become friends and help each other. With Mu-jun with us, we can discuss the savior later," the maiden clapped her hands, interrupting their conversation. "We're home, Mu-jun, please come in."
As they spoke, the group arrived at their location and stood in front of the house of Okino and Otome. "Is this your home? Don't you live with your families?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.
"This is the place Mira provided for us. Otome-nee and I have been living here," Chongye Piaohua said with a grin, tossing her ponytail. "I haven't lived with my family for a long time, so Mu-kun, don't be shy, just make yourself at home."
"Do you even need to tell me?" Mu Xiaoxiao snorted and strode in with her pigeon-toed gait. "I've never known how to write the word 'restraint'... Is there any water? I'm thirsty."
Mu Xiaoxiao acted as if she were back in her own home, slipping her slippers into the entryway. After Yi Nu brought over a glass of water, Mu Xiaoxiao leaned back on the sofa in the living room and crossed her legs.
"No, if I want water, just pour me some. Don't you have tea, coffee, or carbonated drinks?"
Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao sitting there like a lord, shouting and yelling, Chong Ye Lianghua was speechless. "You really have no manners."
"Didn't you bring me back and put me under house arrest?" Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. "Didn't you say you could fulfill any of my needs? If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have come back with you."
Well, looks like we're going to have another old man in the family.
But Yi Nu didn't seem to care. "It's okay. Mo Jun is right. Since we brought him back, we need to take good care of him. I'll go make you some coffee now." "Add extra sugar, I like it sweeter," Mu Xiaoxiao added with a smile and a wave.
Watching him skillfully command the maidens and the floating flowers, and seeing his leisurely demeanor, Alicia rolled her eyes wildly. This guy couldn't possibly be the savior, absolutely not!
Chapter 258 Mu Xiaoxiao's Happy Life
"Oh, I think I overslept!"
In the bright morning sun, the graceful figure lying on the bed suddenly got up. Her slightly dazed and beautiful face looked at the alarm clock on the desk with a hint of panic. It was already nine o'clock in the morning. She had actually slept in so late.
Is it because too many things happened last night?
Although it's summer vacation now, Otome has developed a good daily routine. Mainly, even on vacation, she has her own work and tasks, and often has to go out on patrol. "Wait a minute, Sister Mira seems to have said that we don't need to go on patrol anymore. Piaohua and I just need to follow Mu Xiaoxiao. That's our task. Even so, I should get up early to make breakfast, since their current task is to take care of Mu Jun."
The girl skillfully ran to the bathroom to wash up, then hurriedly went downstairs in twos, but didn't see Mu Xiaoxiao. She only saw Piaohua and Alicia sitting in the dining room eating breakfast. "Piaohua? You've made breakfast?"
"I've finished cooking," Chong Yehua shook the milk and laughed. "This is the first time you've gotten up this late, Otome-nee. Didn't you sleep well last night?" "Probably... Where's Mu Jun? I haven't seen him." Otome was a little nervous; she couldn't stop him if he wanted to leave.
But at least you should stay with him.
“He’s still sleeping,” Alicia complained. “I’ve never seen such a lazy savior. I was just about to drag him out of bed, but I got kicked out.” At least he didn’t leave. As for sleeping in… that’s not a big deal. Otome relaxed and just sat down at the table when Noboru’s strange gaze and soft voice followed closely behind, “Otome-nee, thank goodness Mu-kun isn’t here, otherwise you would have been taken advantage of.”
"read?
The oblivious girl seemed not to have noticed her attire yet. She had just woken up and hadn't had time to change her clothes, still wearing her pajamas. The thin fabric couldn't hide the girl's outstanding figure at all.
Her chest was pushed up high.
A cascade of vibrant pink hair fell down like a waterfall, revealing her slender neck. Her buttons were undone, exposing her fair and delicate skin from the neckline, where a glimpse of her snow-white skin could be vaguely seen.
Her cleavage was so deep it seemed bottomless, and the allure of her allure could make any man's nose bleed. Even without makeup, her beauty was not diminished in the slightest; she didn't need any makeup to remind her of it.
Indeed, spring had just begun to reveal itself, and Otome's snow-white skin instantly flushed red. She quickly covered her collar with her hand, "I didn't notice... I slept in too late, and I've always been like this at home."
Otome is always quite casual at home.
"But now there's a boy in the house. You've always been very wary of men, Otome-nee, so why are you so casual with Mu-kun?" Rinka, like a little devil, couldn't quite put her finger on whether she was just used to being relaxed at home or if she trusted Mu-kun completely, so she pressed him for an answer.
Blushing, she could only turn away, saying, "I...I'll go back to my room to change..."
As she went upstairs, she bumped into Mu Xiaoxiao on the stairs. Seeing the lazy boy standing in front of her, Otome lost control and bumped into him. The girl clearly felt the force of the impact, and her two little balls were pressed down hard.
Before she could feel ashamed of her large breasts being squeezed, Otome felt as if she had hit an unshakeable iron wall, and her body involuntarily fell backward. This was a staircase, after all.
In the instant she lost her balance, she heard Rinka's exclamation and Alicia's warning. Just as the pink-haired girl was spinning and thought she was going to fall down the stairs, a hand caught her waist, supported the girl's unbalanced body, and held her steadily in its arms.
"Do you have some kind of dazed, clueless side?" Mu Xiaoxiao was still yawning, looking like she hadn't slept enough. "This is a staircase, it's dangerous." "Ming, I'm sorry."
Time seemed to freeze at that moment. The stunningly beautiful girl with long pink hair was as if she had been frozen in place, staring blankly at the boy who was so close to her, at Mu Xiaoxiao's face, and at the warmth emanating from him.
This is the first time I've been this close to a boy, it's so hot... Is it my body that's burning, or is his body scalding hot? Yi Nu couldn't tell anymore. At this moment, she could only stand there like a wooden statue as Mu Xiaoxiao put her down, and then she walked stiffly towards her room.
They didn't even realize they were walking in the wrong direction.
She felt like her heart was about to burst out of her chest, something was brewing inside her, and her skin was burning hot. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Mu Xiaoxiao. Only when she returned to her bedroom and closed the door did she cover her burning face and slowly slide down the door.
It landed on its bottom like a duck.
How could Ming do this?
"My...it seems like he bumped into him. He...he must have felt it too, maybe he didn't even realize it?"
“But Mu Jun did glance at my neckline just now. He, he must have seen inside,” Yi Nu kept muttering to herself, looking down at her neckline which had opened a little more, her expression one of shame and indignation. “But, we can’t blame him. Mu Jun was trying to save me, he just happened to glance at it.”
"The way she was holding my waist was also due to unforeseen circumstances..."
Otome let out a barely audible sound of shame. Recalling her recent contact with the opposite sex, her heart was filled with ripples. She managed to suppress them with great difficulty. Otome quickly changed from her pajamas into casual clothes, but there was still a trace of lingering color on her face.
Living with a boy can lead to unexpected situations like this, making daily life a bit inconvenient... But Otome isn't too worried, and she doesn't dislike or reject Mu Xiaoxiao. Could it be that, as Piaohua said, I'm completely unguarded with Mu Jun and very casual about him?
When she went downstairs, Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have forgotten what had just happened. She sat at the dining table and chatted happily with Chongye Piaohua and the others. When she saw Otome, she just waved and greeted her, which made her feel anxious and uncertain.
"Mu Jun, is there anything else you need? Not just daily necessities, you can also tell us what else you need, including your favorite dishes and snacks, and we will buy them for you."
To break the awkward silence, Otome asked earnestly.
"Why do you guys feel like my mom?" Mu Xiaoxiao complained, then stated her request, "I need a computer, a game console would be even better, and I can't do without comics. As for snacks, I love sugary drinks..."
Mu Xiaoxiao was really blunt, babbling on and on, but Otome didn't seem to have any complaints or opinions... She wrote it down and said, "I'll go prepare it now. What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"Whatever, oh right, remember to make sure there's plenty of meat."
The girl readily agreed. When she and Alicia returned with bags and packages, Mu Xiaoxiao was reclining on the sofa, picking up a potato chip from the table and eating it with relish. Then, without hesitation, she snatched Alicia's remote control and changed the comedy program on TV to Erci.
He gave the gritting-teeth knight girl a smug smile, then took a final gulp of his "happy water." Awesome!
"This is what life should be like!" Alicia thought, her face darkening. This guy was actually trying to steal her TV program... She became even more convinced of her belief: this guy was definitely not the savior! He was definitely not the person Lady Celestine had predicted!
Unable to compete with Mu Xiaoxiao, Alicia angrily ran to the kitchen to help the girls who were cooking. "Mu-kun, dinner's ready."
As the fragrant aroma filled the room, Otome's voice reached the living room. Seeing that Mu Xiao hadn't moved, the pink-haired girl, still wearing an apron, walked over, hands on her hips, and said, "Mu-kun, let's watch it after we finish eating. I'll record it for you. Let's go eat now."
Oh, by the way, I bought you new clothes. Just throw them in the bathroom later, I'll wash them for you. Wait, why am I starting to sound more and more like a mother hen?
"Wash my underwear too?" Mu Xiaoxiao finally sat up.
“…Hmm,” Otome responded shyly. Although it was her first time washing a boy’s underwear, she still nodded, making Mu Xiaoxiao wink happily.
"Otome, you have the air of a virtuous wife and loving mother~." This made her even more embarrassed.
"Mira told us to take good care of you, so, well, there's nothing we can do about it. Anyway... hurry up and eat."
After Mu Xiaoxiao left, Yi Nu patted her chest and slowly calmed herself down. She smoothed her hair. In the short half-day since Mu Xiaoxiao moved in, she had shaken her mind several times.
Really.
However, these days were surprisingly nice. Otome didn't dislike this kind of life, and Mu-kun was different from other men. He didn't look at her with those evil eyes, and she felt very comfortable with him.
Some of her behaviors may seem willful, but they are not annoying. Instead, they make Mu Jun more real and interesting.
Chapter 259 Alicia's Changing Attitude
The New Year's dinner was very sumptuous.
Although I haven't tasted it yet, the aroma alone is enough to make my mouth water. Coupled with the exquisite presentation, it's clear that Otome's culinary skills are no less than those of the girls around Mu Xiaoxiao. Of course, compared to a monster like Rurikawa Tsubaki, she is still somewhat inferior.
But there's nothing we can do; the maid is just too hardworking. Her learning and growth haven't stopped, and she's always making progress.
But there's always someone better. Even the ever-improving maid couldn't compare to the terrifying Gourmet Tablecloth. It's just that the secret tool is too overpowered; this one tablecloth has ruined so many chefs' dreams.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao wasn't a picky person. The fried chicken, sashimi, beef, and pan-fried pork chops on the table were enough to whet his appetite with their aroma alone.
Just like Mu Xiaoxiao had described, Miss Otome prepared a feast of meat dishes.
Alicia was already eating here. The knight lady's movements while eating with the fork were quite elegant, but she chewed the beef quite forcefully. It was hard to tell whether the food on the table was too delicious or if she thought it was Mu Xiaoxiao venting her frustrations.
"Mu-kun, how's Otome-nee's cooking?" Rinka asked with a grin. "How does it compare to the girls around you?"
“Not bad,” Mu Xiaoxiao noticed that Otome was glancing at her. Although she tried to remain calm, she was still very concerned. Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, “Although she is not as good as Tsubaki, she is still better than most.”
Most... just how many female confidantes does this guy have?
Otome didn't comment on this. Compared to comparing herself to others, she was already happy that her cooking could be praised by Mu Xiaoxiao. She served a bowl of white rice and said, "I cooked a lot of meat, but you have to eat vegetables too. Oh? Mu-kun, do you also have pets?"
She and Lin Hua then noticed the little lion cub in Mu Xiaoxiao's arms, and their eyes widened in surprise. A pet?
Alicia's ears twitched as if she had a radar, and she quickly turned her head to look at the boy. Could it be the black cat that the goddess mentioned?
Looking closer, he saw that what he was holding wasn't a cat, but a young lion cub. The startled crocodile's expression and tense emotions finally calmed down. "It's not a cat, otherwise, what do you think I made you cook so much meat for, Otome?" Mu Xiaoxiao placed the lion cub, whose wounds had almost healed, on the ground. She put some meat and rice on a plate in front of the cub. Watching it eat obediently, occasionally rubbing against Mu Xiaoxiao's trouser leg, Rinka's eyes practically sparkled with hearts.
"Kawaii~.~".
She didn't even bother to eat, jumped off the chair and ran to Mu Xiaoxiao's side, sitting down. "Is this a lion? Xiaoxiao, it's so nice that you have a little lion as a pet, it's so cute~".
"Be careful with the floating flowers."
"It's okay, Otome-nee. Since it's a pet, it definitely won't hurt us. I really trust Mu-kun," Okino no Hyakuka said, turning the rice in her bowl towards the little guy. "I'll share mine with you too, Mu-kun. Can I pet it?"
"can."
The little one is still wary of strangers and doesn't like to interact with anyone other than Mu Xiaoxiao. However, since her owner is still around, she doesn't resist and lets the human touch her fur while she continues to eat.
Alicia glanced at the little lion who was engrossed in eating, then looked at Mu Xiaoxiao with a conflicted expression, but finally asked, "Mu Xiaoxiao... do you have a lot of pets?"
She took the goddess's prophecy very seriously.
"It's not a lot, at least not enough to open a zoo, but who knows what might happen in the future," after all, the back hill of the school is perfect for raising animals. Alicia's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, her premonition growing stronger. The blonde knight swallowed hard. "Could it be that you also keep a black cat?" Mu Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, unexpectedly meeting Alicia's eyes. "How did you know? Um... wait a minute, is this also a prophecy from the goddess?"
It seems that goddess is quite powerful; she was able to predict my affairs so accurately?
Mu Xiaoxiao wasn't too concerned at first. That elven goddess was indeed extraordinary, but in the end, it all turned out to be... well, you know. Now it seems that Celestine is even more powerful than she thought, having foreseen her in another world. This forces Mu Xiaoxiao to seriously examine that woman.
Alicia's heart pounded. It actually matched Lady Cyrusine's prophecy. He really did have a black cat. So, Mu Xiaoxiao was the savior she was looking for, perfectly matching the goddess's description.
Now that things have come to this, whether Alicia can accept it or not, it is the truth. The blonde knight didn't know what to feel. She was a little excited and a little helpless. Although Mu Xiaoxiao's personality made her speechless, it was still a good thing to find someone to save the world.
"Although I still find it hard to believe, the Goddess's prophecy is not wrong. Mu Xiaoxiao... Savior, I hope you can save the continent of Ostia and our world." Alicia's complicated emotions eventually turned into respect.
He even left his seat, covered his chest with one hand, and knelt down on one knee to pay his respects.
It's clear that this beautiful female knight commander is very serious and old-fashioned. She had doubts about Mu Xiaoxiao's identity before and was quite dismissive of her, but now that it's basically confirmed, Alicia's attitude has completely reversed.
“Alicia, I have a question,” Otome asked. “Are you from another world? Now that you’ve found Mu Jun, does that mean you’re going to take him to your world?”
“Yes, I will take him to see the Goddess,” Alicia nodded seriously. “It is my duty... However, to return to the continent of Ostia, we need the Goddess’s power. If the Goddess doesn’t make a move, I can only stay here.”
After saying that, he looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, "My lord, you won't refuse, will you?"
"If there's a chance to go to another world, of course I have no objection. I'm also very curious about other worlds." Xiao Xiao nodded without refusing. After finishing his meal, he put down his chopsticks and immediately returned to the sofa to continue his carefree life.
Seeing Alicia following her, Mu Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, her face showing wariness. "Alicia, I'm the savior. You wouldn't want to fight with the savior for the TV show again, would you?"
Alicia:
The female knight's beautiful face twisted slightly, twitching several times as if she had countless complaints she wanted to voice. However, she couldn't utter a word even after opening her mouth, and said dejectedly, "Don't worry, I won't compete with Savior Sama for the TV program."
"Oh wow, your attitude has changed a lot. I have high hopes for you." Mu Xiaoxiao continued eating her snacks. "Alicia, get me another bag of snacks~".
~.
The blonde female knight obediently held out a bag of potato chips, which was also one of her favorite snacks, and also a TV program... But faced with Little Ser's expression, she could do nothing but show a frustrated look.
"If you want some, I can share it with you."
