"Oh, I thought we could have a good conversation as old acquaintances, but it seems like you're not in the mood for that... Did you have a breakup?"
The silver-haired man still didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, as if he wanted to pester Juxi here.
"But you really dare to say such things, it hurts!"
"You..."
"Well, well, it seems like you're really not in a good mood today. I'll take my leave then!"
Finally, the silver-haired man decided to leave.
Since he had decided to leave, Juxi no longer had a reason to get angry, avoiding a bloodbath.
"No need to see me off."
Juxi's tone softened a bit, but he still watched the silver-haired man warily, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Approaching such an unfamiliar stranger was like carrying a time bomb with an unknown detonation time. You never know when it will suddenly explode!
"Hmph!" Juxi coldly chuckled. "I wouldn't know such a conceited guy who looks so unfamiliar to me."
Especially after the conversation he just had with the silver-haired man, Juxi understood clearly that he shouldn't get close to that guy no matter what!
Deciding on that, Juxi simply locked the library door.
Before locking the door, he deliberately opened it to check, afraid that the weirdo might still be outside.
For now, it seemed fine. At least there were no strange people at the entrance of the library.
Seeing this, Juxi finally felt relieved from the bottom of his heart and returned to the counter to continue his work.
Since there was nothing else to do, Juxi naturally went back behind the counter and waited for Yukari and Chiyori to return.
Because the rooms were scarce, everyone was living together, which made Juxi a little uncomfortable. After all, living with four girls at the same time, no matter how separate the rooms were, it felt a little inappropriate...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
While Juxi was lost in thought, there was a sudden knocking on the door. It didn't sound like Yukari's knock, so Juxi naturally ignored it.
Hmph, it must be the same weirdo from earlier! Juxi was confident that the silver-haired man was at the door.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
The more Juxi refused to open the door, the more persistent the knocking became, which annoyed Juxi to the point of being intolerable.
"You..." Juxi was about to lose his temper when Yu Nai walked out of the room.
"Hey, who's knocking on the door?"
"It's that...wait, I'm going to open it now." Although Juxi didn't want to open the door, when he saw Yu Nai, he thought for a moment—it's better to open it!
Initially, it was only him alone that led to such recklessness from the stranger!
But now, it was different. Juxi had Yu Nai by his side, and if that guy hurried over, Juxi would definitely punch him until he saw stars! That way, there would be a witness or something...
Juxi figured that if there really was a problem, he could let Yu Nai prove it, so that the guy couldn't pull a fast one!
With no more concerns, and after mentally preparing himself, Juxi unlocked the door. But before he could do anything, the other person threw a punch at him first!
Bang! Dong!
Juxi was knocked down by this punch and when he reacted, he realized that Chiyori was the one who had knocked on the door just now. And beside her was Yukari, the administrator with a blackened face!
From her fist-shaking posture, it can be seen that she was the one who threw the punch just now.
"Hmph! You brat, how dare you make me wait at the door for so long!!!"
"You... Your voice sounds really angry?"
"Juxi, that's a stupid question. The administrator is exploding right now!"
"Administrator and Chiyori, listen to my explanation first. There was actually a pervert just now..."
"I won't listen, I'm already tired. I'll sleep in your room tonight!"
"My room?!"
"By the way, tonight you have nowhere to sleep. Chiyori and I will sleep in your room. As for Nian... you'll still sleep with Yu Nai tonight, disband."
Yukari was enraged. It was so cold outside, and she was made to wait for so long. Anyone would be angry.
"Administrator, where should I sleep tonight?"
Juxi was also a bit sleepy. Although he had slept the most in these few days, he was mentally exhausted.
After receiving the order, he could only make do with the library tonight.
Although the bed was not far from here, Juxi couldn't go back to rest on it. He could only sit behind the counter for now.
When a person feels sleepy, it is easy to fall asleep no matter where they are.
Hu... Hu...
Not long after, Juxi fell asleep on the counter.
There were still dozens of hours of work for him tomorrow. If he didn't sleep well now, it would be difficult to make it through tomorrow morning.
Therefore, even if his body wasn't tired at all, the mental fatigue was enough to make him fall asleep again.
Unlike last night, Juxi had a good sleep tonight and didn't have any strange dreams. He dreamed of ordinary things.
Except...
"Uh, it's dawn... Oh my!"
Juxi lazily climbed up from the counter, but his arms were so sore that he almost lost feeling. He almost had a close encounter between his chin and the edge of the table.
Just as his chin was about to touch the tabletop, a can of pure white liquid was thrown in front of him.
He heard a snap! Juxi's chin hit it, fortunately, nothing happened.
Juxi looked up and saw that it was Yukari who had already gotten up early, handing it over. It seemed to be some kind of nutrient solution.
"You didn't sleep well last night, did you?" Yukari asked.
"Of course, only middle school students can sleep well in this environment." Juxi's tone of voice had a hint of complaint that anyone could hear.
"Drink the nutrient solution first, it can refresh you, and maybe the uncomfortable feeling in your body will disappear." Yukari urged.
"Yes." Juxi twisted the cap open and then chugged the nutrient solution in one breath.
Although Juxi didn't taste it, he could imagine that the taste must not be something an ordinary person could accept.
"Gulp... Huh, it's not bitter at all!"
Juxi felt a bit surprised. He thought the taste must be terrible, but in reality, it tasted just like ordinary purified water, normal.
In simple terms, it can be summed up in one sentence - no taste at all!
After drinking, Juxi suddenly felt a bit stuffy and immediately had the urge to go outside to get some fresh air.
"Administrator, I'm going out for a breath of fresh air, I'll be back before my shift starts."
"It's okay, just come back when the library opens. Before that, as long as you don't wander around, it's fine. Just don't leave the safe area where we can move!"
"Got it."
"Oh, I almost forgot, don't go into the sea or dive. And one more thing..."
Yukari kept babbling non-stop, making Juxi unable to bear it any longer.
"I got it, I got it, I took it all to heart, no going into the water! And... um... not leaving the safe area, right? I'm going now!"
Juxi couldn't stand it anymore and quickly left to get some fresh air.
Yukari didn't go out, but went back to the room and washed her hands and face thoroughly, brushing her teeth as well.
In comparison, Juxi who had just woken up didn't pay as much attention to hygiene.
Since getting off the spaceship until now, he had only washed his face once, making people think he was a dirty ghost.
Dirty him walked alone to a place outside the tree house, completely forgetting all the instructions Yukari had given him.
Up until now, he only remembered the approximate time to return, and didn't care about anything else.
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
Just then, a small squirrel appeared in Juxi's line of sight.
What caught his interest was the appearance of the squirrel, which was completely covered in shiny blue fur, and had diamond-like eyes. It caught Juxi's attention even more.
All thoughts of work and everything else were thrown out of his mind.
However, the squirrel quickly jumped out of the safe area, leaving Juxi in a dilemma.
On one hand, there was an exceptionally beautiful and dazzling blue squirrel, and on the other hand, there was the instruction from Administrator Yukari that he must not leave the safe area even for a step!
In other words, the safe area only extended about five hundred meters around the tree house, and once this boundary was crossed, it would be completely out of the Administrator's monitoring range.
The forest density here wasn't very high, so Juxi naturally felt bolder.
"Since I'm already here, it shouldn't be a problem to go a bit further... um, no problem at all!"
Juxi repeatedly said these words to hypnotize himself.
He thought that if he got caught and punished for casually going out, it would be okay, but if he encountered any trouble, it would be a real problem!
Thud! Thud! Thud...
The earth trembled, feeling somewhat like an earthquake, but not as frequent.
Due to the vibrations, the squirrel seemed startled and quickly fled into the distance.
"Hmm... what is that?!"
The sky suddenly darkened in an instant, and in its place, a movable "mountain" slowly passed by Juxi.
Of course, the thing that was moving couldn't be a "mountain". It...
On the body of the "mountain" grew many tall trees and wild grass, and underneath all these plants was not some so-called "mountain" but a giant gorilla! And it was a super enlarged giant gorilla!!!
Looking up at the huge gorilla, or rather a titan would be more appropriate.
Just from Juxi's visual estimation, that big guy who just passed by, although much smaller in size compared to the sea monster below the sea, is still a giant with a length of up to a thousand meters!
"What kind of world is this?!"
Juxi was quite scared and had the thought of going back.
"Or... let's go back."
