056, A wonderful day
A vase filled with white tulips sat on the windowsill, swaying gently in the breeze.
The morning sunlight, around eight or nine o'clock, streamed through the window, casting a golden glow onto the smooth bed and the rustic wooden floor.
The melodious and pleasant piano music gently drifted from the quaint magic record player in the corner, pleasing to the ear and elegant.
Two glasses of refreshing milk and croissants still steaming slightly, along with two steaks, were placed on the table by Eve. One steak was placed in front of Sinley, who was reading the daily newspaper, and the other was placed next to Sinley's.
She stared at it for a moment, then felt something was off, so she put her portion opposite Xinlai's before sitting down, satisfied.
Xinlai crossed her legs and earnestly searched for useful information in the daily newspaper.
Tonight he's going to Tansington Castle for a costume ball hosted by Skechers, and he needs to be fully prepared and make sure nothing goes wrong.
The air was filled with a faint scent of milk and flowers, the fragrance of the clothes that Xinlai bought for Eve. Eve said she liked tulips, so Xinlai bought tulips.
The money spent on the purchases will be counted towards Eve's years of employment.
Apart from the slight clinking of forks and plates, the room was unusually peaceful.
Eve ate her breakfast with her head down, looking sullen.
It's clear that Sinlai just refused to answer.
Sinlai also said that she would be unhappy if he told the truth.
Such a warm morning shouldn't be ruined by a bad mood.
But in fact, it was clear from Eve's muttering to herself and her little temper while making breakfast for Xinlai in the kitchen that she was already in a state of utter confusion and trembling with excitement.
"Crunch, crunch~"
The clinking of forks caught Xinlai's attention. He glanced up at Eve, who was still wearing his oversized undershirt, which covered everything except her two pale thighs.
At this moment, Eve's mind was elsewhere, and she had become too close to Xinlai, having long since abandoned the manners of a noble lady:
One foot was propped up on the chair, her body slightly tilted, as she focused intently on the tough steak with her knife and fork. Her purple hair draped over her shoulder, brushing against the small watermelon, which seemed to float in mid-air.
"Such a beautiful morning, why do you seem a little unhappy?"
Eve didn't look up. While eating her steak, she seemed to have been waiting for Xinlai to speak. Before Xinlai could finish her sentence, she fired off a barrage of words:
"You womanizing radish, pervert, freak, bastard, despicable villain, scumbag!!"
"?"
Xinlai: (゜▼゜？)
Eve snorted and explained,
"Don't think I don't know why you bought clothing fragrance. I can smell Miss Sylvia's scent on you even if you don't come close."
Xinlai pursed her lips, shrugged dismissively, and continued reading the daily newspaper.
Is Eve jealous?
With a "bang," Eve suddenly stood up, slammed her hand on the table, leaned forward, and glared angrily at Xinlai with a pout.
"Who's jealous of you, you bastard?!"
Xin Lai's lips curled up slightly, but she didn't reply. Instead, she shifted her body slightly to the side, revealing glimpses of her white panties peeking out from under her lining.
Eve glanced in the direction of Xinlai's gaze, then immediately blushed and shrank back, muttering under her breath, "I told you, you're a pervert."
Silence fell over the table again. In fact, both of them knew that this was not what she wanted to ask, but she was just too embarrassed.
Knowing that Eve couldn't bring herself to ask, Xinlai slowly shook out the newspaper, folded it neatly, put it aside, took off her gold-rimmed glasses, and picked up her fork.
Before even putting a piece of beef in her mouth, Xinlai saw fresh hemoglobin dripping from the cut surface.
"..."
He looked up at Eve, who was looking down, elegantly forking a medium-rare steak and putting it into her mouth, chewing it with relish.
Xinlai put down her knife and fork, stood up, and, seeing Eve's secretly amused expression, pulled out her belt and walked towards her.
The little purple cat's expression froze instantly, its puffed-out cheeks stopped moving, and it stared blankly as the tall Xinlai came in front of it.
"It seems I really need to keep a closer eye on you, Miss Witch."
……
……
Afterwards, Eve angrily hid in the corner of the bed, rubbing her little bottom, which had been lightly whipped red by the belt.
Xinlai, humming a little tune, went to the kitchen and fried the steak again.
As Xinlai watched the steak sizzling in the olive oil in the pan, her thoughts drifted away.
He's been thinking about what the tasks assigned by the system mean these past two days...
What does "Who am I" mean?
Nobody mentioned any memories I've lost?
What is all this nonsense... It's inexplicable.
While he was thinking, he instantly used healing magic to restore the facial expression wounds, and then carried the cooked steak back to the table.
Now that Eve is around, she's like an infinite generator; when she runs out of power, she just gives me a couple of kisses.
Moreover, he himself is also a super-capacity power bank, having absorbed an astonishing 58 million units of magic power in the past two days...
In addition, with no casting animation, even a first-level mage can unleash a rain of fireballs to destroy dinosaurs, bringing a tiny bit of magical shock to the world.
I need to learn Gordon's skills, they're so damn useful...
After finishing the steak, it was almost noon.
Eve stormed out of the house again, wandering around outside in her costume disguised as an elf slave.
She claimed that once she finished her business and left, she might not be able to come back, so she wanted to wander around and see more of the place that had raised her...
Xinlai wasn't worried that Eve might faint outside again anytime soon. Eve's magic had been completely drained that morning, so she left while she was hanging up.
With nothing to do, Xin Lai lay on the recliner on the balcony and silently activated Hyperdimensional Link lv.2.
He can now choose between two simulation methods: either observe without intervention, or intervene throughout the entire process…
Just like in Grand Theft Auto V's story mode where you can control multiple characters to do the same job, you can think and observe from different perspectives.
"Phew... I'll give it a try."
With a blink of an eye, the blinding yet warm sunlight vanished, replaced by the magnificent, brightly lit, and bustling Tansteen Castle, where carriages lined up to enter.
He looked at his hands, his body...
Ok?
Xinlai realized that he was simulating all of this from his own perspective.
Sitting beside her was little Eve, wearing a long, black princess dress covered in crystal chips, so long that only her ankles and her delicate feet encased in black high heels were visible.
He wore a black eye mask and face covering, and apart from his arms, nothing else was visible.
It was well hidden...
He was dressed in a form-fitting, high-end custom-made suit, exuding unparalleled nobility and heroic spirit. His face was covered only by a wing-shaped eye mask, after all, it was a masquerade ball, and he had to dress up no matter what.
He just looks very wise...
They were queuing to enter Tansteen Castle, going through security with Sylvie's invitation.
Sylvie withdrew from the ball citing a serious infectious disease, which Sinley guessed was probably because she was in too much pain to walk.
After checking the invitations, Sinley and Eve entered Tansteen Castle without incident.
