Actually, there was nothing important when Xifu approached me, she just wanted to see me.

However, I refused any physical contact with her.

This time, I didn't plan to send Linsi and Daisy away. Since they have a good impression of Xifu, I decided to let them stay and cultivate their relationship with her.

I pushed open the door and walked in. Xifu stood behind the door as usual, but I pushed her away when she tried to throw herself at me.

Xifu pouted and went back to the dining table in the middle of the room.

"You finally came. Wasn't it that I didn't call you, you wouldn't come to see me?"

"Um."

There was nothing to deny.

I wasn't interested in Xifu. I already had someone I liked in my heart.

"It's quite straightforward. By the way, has FeiRui helped you with anything?"

Leading the two maids to Xifu, I sat across from her, while they stood quietly on both sides of me, not saying a word.

"Not yet. He said he will write a book and also become a teacher for our demon race."

"Hahaha, that doesn't fit his style."

Xifu propped her chin and laughed happily, completely disregarding me as a stranger. Since I met Xifu, I have never seen any hostility in her eyes towards me.

Now she treats me like a good friend, or even a conquest.

"I'm curious why you can still be so happy here."

Although the treatment was better, being locked in a room all day was no different from being a prisoner. Moreover, she was a member of the other race. If it were me, I would be afraid.

"I'm also curious what species you are."

Facing Xifu's curious baby-like sparkling eyes, my mind froze for a moment before I came up with an answer.

"I was created by the demon race. I'm not a species, just an individual. You could say I'm a weapon, but I belong to the demon race."

"Then can you help us humans too?"

"Huh? Forget it."

My initial reaction was, how could I, a traitor to the demon race, help you humans? It was only later that I remembered I was bound by my master, I couldn't betray her.

As soon as I finished speaking, I was shocked by this change in my thinking.

"Well, it seems I can't persuade the ultimate weapon of the demon race to come over." Whether it was a real worry or not, Xifu sighed lightly, raised her head, and gazed at me with affectionate eyes. "As for your question, because you are here, I am not afraid. I am happy just to see you. This joy overshadows my fear."

Suddenly... suddenly a confession of love.

I froze, feeling somewhat at a loss.

I guess I can understand this feeling. It's like how I feel about my master. Ever since I crossed over to this world, I have seen her every day. I would find it difficult to accept if I had to part with her someday.

"Hahaha..." Xifu's sudden laughter broke the silence. "Yiluodiya, I didn't expect this."

"Didn't expect what?"

I turned my head to look at Linsi and Daisy next to me, but they shook their heads.

"It's nothing, Yiluodiya. Your image in my heart is getting more and more shattered, no, more and more adorable."

My mouth twitched.

Why does everyone think I'm adorable?

No, I should be happy, because my master also likes my adorable appearance.

"Even if you say that, I won't be happy."

All three people next to me suddenly burst out laughing.

Only then did I realize that my remark sounded very tsundere-like. It's true that my image is really getting more and more shattered.

But my intention was that I wouldn't be happy unless my master praised me. I didn't need other people to adore me.

"Xifu, now that you've seen me, I'm going to find FeiRui."

"Hey... what's so interesting about that guy FeiRui? Just stay with me a little longer."

Just as I was about to stand up, Xifu suddenly stood up, supported the table with both hands, and leaned towards me, her face full of reluctance and begging.

This kind of act of being spoiled...

Ordinary people would probably soften, but I felt nothing when I looked at Xifu's pitiful appearance, because I didn't have any intention to conquer her. I didn't need to indulge anyone.

"I'm looking for him for something important. I want him to teach me how to pilot a hot air balloon," said Shifu persistently.

"I can come along, right? I haven't seen the sun outside for a long time," added Hefei.

"Alright," agreed LinsiDaisy, nodding. The three of them followed me as we walked towards Ferri's room.

I wasn't worried about Hefei running away. Escaping from my grasp would be a big joke.

Under Hefei's pleading, Ferri agreed to my request without much hesitation. Now, we were in the courtyard of the city lord's mansion, with people dragging the hot air balloon over.

LinsiDaisy seemed interested in the balloon, so they didn't leave and instead stayed with us to study it.

Under the scorching sun, the five of us stepped onto the gondola of the hot air balloon, gathering around the control panel.

Of course, the control panel wasn't a fancy high-tech display, but a small table floating with several magic stones.

"Let me explain the functions of these stones to you first," said Ferri, standing in the middle, looking like the boss. I was a little annoyed but had no choice.

"Wait, can we remove that cannon?" I asked. Learning to operate this was only for recreational flights, so we didn't need any weapons. The cannon would be cumbersome.

"Yes, we can. Let me first teach you how to control these magic stones," Ferri replied.

"Alright."

LinsiDaisy observed us silently on the side, looking curious.

Ferri then taught me the functions of each magic stone, and I made sure to remember them all. They were roughly divided into three categories: those for regulating the density of the sphere, those for controlling fuel, and those for controlling the speed and direction of the balloon. There was also a stone for auxiliary protection of the sphere and gondola.

It would be too troublesome to explain in detail.

"Can we leave the control panel during the flight?" I asked.

"Yes, you can. Just be mindful of the airflow and adjust accordingly to any changes," Ferri replied.

That was good to hear. I was worried that I would have to stand in front of the control panel the whole time and not be able to enjoy the scenery.

Finally, after removing the cannon and having the soldiers below carry it away, we returned to the control panel in the middle of the gondola.

"Let me try if we can take off first. Ferri, guide me," I said. I didn't want any mishaps while flying in the sky. Although I could protect my master, I still wanted a perfect journey.

Ferri nodded. "We're ready for takeoff."

Hefei, on the other hand, was excited. "Lord Yiluodiya, can we also experience it?"

"Sure," I replied.

With my permission, LinsiDaisy's expression showed excitement and anticipation.

"Wait! I forgot something," Ferri interrupted the cheerful atmosphere on the gondola. He crossed his arms, frowning.

We all looked at him with confusion.

"I introduced the functions of each magic stone to you, but do you actually know how to control them? I'm not sure if you understood how to control the flow of magic within the stones when I asked for your help before," Ferri said.

"What should I do then?" I asked. Did I need to train in magic control again? It was too troublesome. I wanted to go on an aerial adventure with my master tomorrow.

"It's actually quite simple. You just need to be able to control the flow of magic. Once you're familiar with the magic properties of each stone, controlling them will be as natural as controlling your limbs," Ferri explained.

"What do you mean?" I asked. Ferri looked helpless and gently raised his head, gesturing for me to come closer.

"Come here, I'll teach you," he said.

At that moment, Ferri looked just like a teacher.

I obediently walked over to him, and he pointed at one of the pale purple magic stones.

"Feel the magic inside the stone," he instructed.

"How do I do that?" I asked.

"Reach out and touch it, absorb the magic within," Ferri said.

Following Ferri's instructions, I reached out and touched the magic stone. LinsiDaisy didn't need to be told, but Hefei also curiously watched my every move. It was clear that she didn't understand any of these things either.Trying to absorb a hint of magic, the body immediately matched the corresponding magic within.

Various data unfolded in the brain, naturally learning how to control this magic stone.

"No wonder you're an Yiluodiya, perverts like you don't need to waste time searching for a way to control it. Magic is what your demon race is best at, learning to control this magic stone is as simple as a bodily instinct."

The four of us nodded in realization, I understood, but I wasn't sure if the other three besides Fei Li understood.

I sensed the remaining dozen or so magic stones in the same way, of course, I would re-infuse them with the magic I absorbed.

Finally, I confidently withdrew my palm.

"I can now adeptly use these magic stones."

Fei Li's face was, as always, full of disdain and she did not offer any opinions.

"So amazing!"

Shi Fu smiled and echoed me.

There was a faint excitement in Linsi Daisy's eyes.

It took me nearly an hour to familiarize myself with and control these dozen or so magic stones, and the sun had already begun to set in the sky.

Looking at these companions who were not really companions, Linsi Daisy was filled with anticipation, while Fei Li and Shi Fu were no longer surprised.

Unfortunately, Fei Li was the only male, and this was not his harem comedy.

Only five people, gathering three races.

The demon race, the human race, and the unique me of an unknown race.

I smiled faintly, Fei Li might be tsundere, always with a grumpy face, but he never rejected me and Shi Fu's requests.

"Get ready, it's time to take off."
