By the way, there is something else that I can prove her existence...
Don't be silly, even gods cannot pass through that barrier. How could a mere spirit do it? After all, even true gods cannot do it!
Tears gradually obscured my vision. Although the roads were busy with people and traffic, my sincere emotions were no longer there.
I straightened my back and tirelessly searched for the familiar path, trying to find my past home. But I couldn't remember, and I didn't know where my previous home was...
"How... could..."
Having followed the coastline to its end, I stood there speechless. The small peasant house that should have been there had been occupied by a three-story bookstore.
"Even the ultimate existence has been denied? Yukari..." I couldn't help but choke up. The sorrowful heart couldn't be warmed even by the scorching sunlight.
Looking at this place where I had lived for ten years, my emotions were complicated. It seemed that something was left behind here, disappearing along with the house.
Pushing aside the curtain of the bookstore, the interior was not particularly simple but very plain. The books on the shelves were neatly categorized according to their own categories.
"Is the store owner not here? It seems that no one visits this bookstore."
Although there were various types of books on the shelves, the entertainment magazines were scarce, and even the adult section was not set up.
Seeing such a conservative bookstore, I could only scoff, "What! Not even the most ordinary adult books, no wonder the business is so poor."
"Who are you picking a fight with?!"
Suddenly, a fierce woman burst out from behind the curtain, scolding me aggressively. I was scared out of my wits, and she even held a brand new book on evolution, pointing it at my nose, demanding an explanation.
"Um...that's not what I meant... uh?"
Following the slender arm of the fierce woman, I looked at her face and her golden ponytail... a golden ponytail?
"Yu Nai?!"
I rushed forward to grab her hand, but suddenly everything went black, and I was once again ejected from the book.
His head was buzzing just now. Although Juxi had played this game before, this sudden incident was quite thrilling for him.
"That's enough!" Juxi handed the book back to Hai, then squinted and said, "I will slowly read these books in the future, but definitely not now, okay?"
"I'll do as you say, my dear master," Hai said respectfully.
"Okay, if you do as I say, then go do your own thing now. We will take care of ourselves," Juxi said with a smile.
As soon as Hai realized that Juxi was trying to drive him away, he immediately became anxious, "But... master, my own thing is taking care of you. I am very capable, for example, if you are hungry, I can cook for you."
Juxi knew his sincerity, but what happened in the dream was his complaint in his heart, "I'm not saying this about you, but those strange foods before, I don't think you'll give me those to eat, right?"
"What kind of foods?" Little still had a clueless look on his face. "If you're hungry, of course, I will choose the best ingredients and cook them perfectly."
"I didn't mean that. What I meant was... oh well, never mind. Hai, I hope you can bring the ingredients that need to be cooked and let us take a look before you proceed?" Juxi couldn't bear such food, so he specifically instructed Hai.
After listening to Juxi's words, Hai hesitated and said, "Master, I don't recommend you see the actual appearance of the ingredients. After all, our values are different. You still need to adapt proactively."
Juxi was dumbfounded by Hai's words. It seemed that what he was worried about was actually happening.
"Hai, I'm saying this in order to adapt better, you know? If we can't see the actual appearance of the food, we will always be in a suppressed state mentally, and naturally we won't be able to adapt effectively."
After saying so much, Juxi actually had doubts about the food here. Even though the place was different, Juxi was still very concerned about the food here.
It's not that the food here may be poisonous or anything, because Hai personally picked it, so they were completely at ease.
It's just... when it comes to the appearance, a robot only understands the fragrance and taste, and doesn't understand anything about appearance.
Juxi, after all, is a normal person and he definitely wouldn't accept strange ingredients.
"Master's words seem to make sense. Alright, I'll bring them over to take a look first, and then I'll cook them."
"Well, I'll leave it to you then."
"No problem, leave it to me."
"Also, what should we drink?"
"Don't worry, my detector has already flown several kilometers away. There are a lot of big and sweet fruits here. I'll have my subordinates pick more and make juice out of them."
"Is that so? Thanks a lot!"
"No need to thank me. Being able to serve the masters is my greatest honor! It's just..."
"Just what?"
"I hope next time the master won't say things like abandoning me. It makes me sad and makes me want to self-destruct. If I self-destruct, who else will take care of you, Master?"
"...Yes, I apologize for what I said earlier."
Saying that, Juxi quickly bent down to apologize to Hai, but it made Hai go crazy with anger, his head spinning wildly in place.
"Master, you're killing me by doing this!"
Hai, feeling embarrassed, escaped and left the gathering place of humans in an extraordinary way.
Who on earth programmed this robot? Juxi found it unbelievable.
Although it's a robot, this guy is really interesting. Juxi feels that it is not just a simple helper, but can even be considered a fun companion.
"Everyone, how are you feeling living here?"
Not long after Hai left, a woman in a red dress suddenly walked in. "Let me introduce myself first. I'm Yukari Shinomiya. From now on, I will be your boss. Any outings or anything else must be approved by me! Also, if you have any thoughts of going out, you must report to me for approval. Unauthorized departures will absolutely not be allowed, and you must remember this at all times."
"Yukari Shinomiya? Um... I need to catch up on sleep. I might have woken up a bit too early." From the moment Yukari mentioned her name, Juxi felt a slight headache.
"Juxi, you can go rest first. I want to have a good conversation with these two here." Yukari gave him a signal, but Juxi didn't pay much attention to it and turned to enter one of the rooms.
He was just too tired and didn't care what was in the room. He found a place and fell asleep on the floor.
I don't know if it's because the room is too warm or because of the clothes Juxi is wearing, but the treehouse is unexpectedly cozy.
But Juxi doesn't care about that much. His head is throbbing now, and he just wants to lie down on the ground and fall into a deep sleep.
It's all because of that strange diary. It has made him feel strange as a whole.
Juxi knows that his memory is correct, but he doesn't know why he has become so strange since the moment he was about to touch his memory.
The more he thinks, the more restless he becomes. Finally, he can't fall asleep.
When he opens his eyes again, everything in the room startles him!
"This...this is my room?!" Juxi, in pain, didn't notice that everything in the room is complete.
The room, which is only about a dozen square meters, doesn't feel empty at all. There is a desk, a bed, and even a TV...and there is even a bathroom?
It is indeed a bit unbelievable, but Juxi doesn't have the mood to care about these now.
He sneaks out and finds that in the library, only Yu Nai is there to look after the store. There is no trace of Ren and Yukari.
"Yu Nai, where did Ren and...that woman go?" Juxi asks.
"You mean Yukari?" Yu Nai thinks for a moment and says, "Yukari still has work to do. She said the proximity detection phase of the power supply in the room is almost done, and as for the water supply system...she said it had to be solved at night."
"Oh, then what about Ren?"
As soon as Ren is mentioned, Yu Nai casually says, "Her? She just went out to find the restroom, but it's been a while. I don't know where she went."
"The restroom?" Juxi almost laughs, "There is clearly a restroom in the room. That idiot..."
Although he laughs, he can't forget about the main matter.
"Right, Yu Nai! I want to borrow a book, the one I just took."
"No problem, let me find it for you...here it is, take it."
"Thank you."
Juxi doesn't stay for long and...
"Ah -!"
A miserable scream echoes in the mansion.
Rain is still falling outside the window, and Juxi's mood becomes even more gloomy.
"Then, please follow me, Master Juxi, to the guest room on the second floor for a short rest. Dinner will be ready soon. If you need anything, feel free to ask." A maid with coffee-colored hair says respectfully.
"Yes, yes!"
Sitting in an old room on the second floor, the decoration here is so monotonous that there are hardly any notable features. The dim room only has an empty bed and nothing else.
Looking at everything here, Juxi is suddenly lost in infinite contemplation.
However, Juxi feels like something is missing here...
"Hmm, why isn't the light on here?"
Juxi brings his finger, which is covered with an unknown substance, closer to his nose and sniffs. The odor of the dusty smell blended with a choking scent is a sign of how long it has been since this place was cleaned.
...In that instant when she turned her head, she revealed a glimmer of killing intent.
"Ah!"
There are even wood fragments left on the floor, and Juxi, caught off guard, gets a long wound on his leg because of it.
