[They looked at each other, as if they had seen something indescribable, with indescribable shock and confusion.]
[But I can understand that. After all, who wouldn’t be confused after seeing this scene? ]
-----------------
Siberian plains, log cabin.
As the sky gradually darkened, in the cabin with the door closed again and a barely lit fire, three people, uh, two people and a cat sat around the table.
Mei Ya looked at Lu Mian who was squatting elegantly on the table, thought about it, but couldn't think of how to start the conversation.
It would be better to say that she is still in deep shock until now.
A group of "robbers" in white coats attracted a magical cat that looked amazing.
This, this is simply magical.
She had lived for twenty-four years, and she couldn't even imagine such a thing, let alone witness it.
Compared to Maya who is still confused, her daughter Celine appears to be calmer.
However, from her eyes that kept flashing towards the firelight, it could be seen that she was not calm at this moment.
Xilin rested her chin on her hand, looked at the kitten in front of her, and suddenly reached out and touched its little paw.
In return, I received an inexplicably mature and caring look.
Recalling the furry feeling on her hand, the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously, and she became very happy, very happy without realizing it.
[In her previous life, a hypocritical researcher took Xilin away in the name of "hope", but pushed her into an endless hell, forcing her to face a tragic fate worse than death.]
[The seeds of hatred had been sown then, and they had grown deep with time and pain.]
[Celine has long been unable to trust all human beings except Cecilia and her biological mother Meiya.]
[Oh, yes, there are also Bella, Agatha, Galina, Aurora, and Benares. ]
【There is nothing else. 】
[Although Xilin seemed very relieved when she was dying in her previous life, she just let it go, not accepted it.]
[Now, even if someone gives her the most sincere heart, she will not accept it easily, but will feel disgusted. ]
【But there is no need to consider this issue for now. 】
[Because what was in front of her right now was a cat, a most magical cat that had nothing to do with humans.]
【This is really...】
[You squatted on the table in cat form, looking at Meiya and Xilin who were staring at you in a strange way without saying anything, and you felt speechless. 】
[You suddenly turned into a cat after eating a bad talent. What can you do? You are also desperate. 】
[Not even a magic cat! ]
Lu Mian, who was speechless, looked at the awkward silence around him, and then looked at the flame in the fireplace that was pitifully small due to lack of financial resources.
But he sighed softly, and for the first time in his life he spoke human words:
"Um, hello? Let me introduce myself briefly. I'm the most magical cat in the world. You can call me Mian.
"My personal, well, my job as a cat is to find qualified magical girls and help them live a good life.
"This young lady right now is exactly my target. How about this, madam? Do you need my help?"
The originally warm and magnetic male voice was dulled, but the gender can still be heard at a glance.
What he said was a complete lie.
Although it has the relevant talent, the magic cat is not responsible for finding the magical girl and helping her live a good life.
He said that only because he loved Kiana deeply, so he wanted to be nicer to Sirin and make her live a happier life.
After listening to Lu Mian's self-introduction, Meiya and Xilin looked at each other silently as Maomao suddenly spoke human language, not knowing what to say.
Should you be surprised?
But when I thought that this was the most magical magic cat, it seemed like there was nothing to be surprised about.
In the end, Meia, who had the final say, spoke first:
"So how are you going to help us, Mr. Cat? What do you need from us, or what do you want us to pay?"
Judging from his expression, he has almost believed it.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that Maya is naive and can easily trust others.
It was really because Lu Mian provided help at lightning speed in the afternoon, and in the current situation he lowered his posture and was approachable, so he easily gained people's favor and trust.
This is absolutely not an attitude that aims to harm others.
There may also be some reasons for the appearance bonus.
After all, what bad intentions could a cute little kitty have?
Seeing that Mei Ya was worried about the price, Lu Mian shook his head and said calmly, "The method of help will be kept secret for now. As for the price, can you let me stay here for a while?"
"Well, Mr. Cat, we may not be able to afford the cost of cat food." A blush suddenly appeared on Maya's sickly pale face, and she looked inexplicably embarrassed.
Poor and humble people have a hundred things to be sad about, but this is the only thing.
Seeing this, Lu Mian couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart, and finally said silently:
"It doesn't matter. I'm the most magical cat. Magical creatures don't need to eat."
Okay, suddenly I feel like there’s nothing wrong with turning into a cat.
Xilin, who was standing by, listened quietly throughout the whole process, without any intention of refutation or expression of opinion.
Firstly, she had just reunited with her biological mother and cherished the relationship, so she dared not rebel in any way.
Secondly, she felt that having more cute cats at home was not so unacceptable.
Just like Benares in the past, you can touch it when you have nothing to do, which provides great emotional value.
Inexplicably thinking of her companions who died in battle with her, Xilin's eyes dimmed a lot, but then brightened again.
She believed that this time everything would be different.
Well, that must be the case.
[And so, you settled down in this shabby little house on the Siberian plains, accompanying Meiya and Xilin.]
[You no longer have any special purpose now. You are no longer worried about your life like you were in the first simulation, nor do you have an inexplicable obsession with strength like you did at the beginning of the second simulation.]
[After all, you have visited the Sea of Trees as an equal, and Otto and Kallen have already sat in the Sky Headquarters as gods, overlooking the entire world.]
[Collapse? Just a little Karami. 】
【Now that it's all over, what else is there to worry about? 】
[Of course, it’s not that I don’t need to work hard, it’s just that I don’t have to work as hard as before. 】
【But this is enough. 】
[You already have more choices. Now you can experience a different life through simulation. ]
【...】
[Time passed slowly, and several days passed in a flash. ]
[Maybe it's because you are not human, maybe it's true love for true love, or maybe it's because you are always nice to touch and allow others to touch you. ]
[In short, you and Xilin became friends. ]
[Hmm - the term 'friend' is actually Xilin's unilateral opinion. You are more inclined to think that you are the other person's elder.]
【Cat elders.】
[At the same time, perhaps because of your good looks, your affinity with Meia is also rising rapidly.]
[You learned about the specific situation on Meiya's side.]
[It turns out that her husband was not dead, but he abandoned her and Xilin and ran away alone. ]
【hiss......】
[Why does this plot sound so familiar? ]
【After listening to this story, if you have had similar or almost identical experiences, you will immediately empathize with it. 】
[No, this situation is worse than what you have experienced.]
[You were still young at that time, but you still had your grandparents, while Meiya and Xilin were left alone.]
[Since that day, there has been a hint of love and compassion in your eyes when you look at Meiya and Xilin.]
[You often think about things in your daily life. ]
[You are thinking, haven't Otto and Kallen already brought all of them in the parallel worlds together? ]
[Who controls the destiny of this world? ]
[Or is it because of the simulation that a brand new Otto was born, one who is neither a fool nor Otto? ]
[With this curiosity, you took advantage of the night to activate the "Grimoire" that comes with your ability to teleport to all parts of the world and went to the headquarters of Destiny in this world. ]
【You saw the fool there, the real fool.】
Night, Europe, the headquarters of the Mandate of Heaven, the bishop's bedroom.
The Fool, dressed in a white bishop's robe, sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the unexpectedly handsome and mature cat floating in front of him.
It was a rare moment for him to be unable to hold back his laughter, and his tone of voice was filled with the suppressed upward movement, "Long time no see, old friend?"
Lu Mian, who knew what the fool was laughing at, gently pushed the black-rimmed round glasses he was wearing with his claws.
There was silence for a moment, not knowing what to say.
At the end, he said weakly:
"Isn't it just that we haven't seen each other for a long time, and when we meet again, I suddenly become the most amazing magical cat? What's so funny about that?
"But you, haven't you already started your journey home? Why are you in this world now?"
Facing Lu Mian's question, the Fool did not rush to answer, but stroked the former with his hand first.
Feeling the delicate and smooth fur on his hands, he raised the corners of his mouth gently with an elegant smile, "The 'Tree' and the 'Sea' gave me instructions, I will need to help you for a while longer."
[The fool who has a "home" but cannot return to it doesn't seem to be annoyed at all. 】
[I don’t know if it’s because I’m willing to help you from the bottom of my heart, or because I want to stroke you a little more from the bottom of my heart…]
[However, his words still invisibly bring you a huge amount of information. ]
[The Imaginary Number Tree and the Quantum Sea will inform the Fool and let the Fool come to help you for a while? ]
[What kind of magical Long Aotian plot is this? ]
[It seems that your last simulation left a very deep impression on the Imaginary Number Tree and the Quantum Ocean.]
[At the same time, they still have a certain degree of goodwill towards you, otherwise they would not have taken such actions. ]
[So it seems that besides the gods Otto and Kallen, you now have the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Sea of Quantum as your backers? ]
[This happiness really comes too suddenly. 】
[Call out the Honkai! Call out the Honkai! ]
【...】
[After talking with the Fool and saying goodbye to each other, you open the magic book and teleport back to the city instantly. ]
[When you tiptoed back to Xilin's room and prepared to climb onto her bed, Xilin, who was lying with her back to you, suddenly turned around, her pair of golden orange eyes tired but also exceptionally bright.]
[Thump, thump, thump——]
[Looking at Xilin, who was shivering in the cold, like a bullied young wife, silently looking at her husband who had just come home from a fooling around, you were sweating profusely. ]
Siberian plains, log cabin.
Lu Mian and Xilin, whose entire body except her head was curled up in the quilt, looked at each other silently.
No one spoke first.
Finally, Lu Mian adjusted himself and jumped onto the bed, and asked a gentle question to ease the embarrassment:
