Yes, I did all this!

Facing the conversation between the two, Yu Zhi suddenly interrupted: "In fact, there is an empty room in my apartment, which is very close to this office."

Facing the gazes of the two people at the same time, Yu Zhi suddenly felt a little guilty: "What's wrong? Can't I?"

"I think it's great." Duanmu Mo smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

"Is it really impossible to live here?" Xia Yan showed obvious regret and asked Duanmu Mo's sleeve.

"Not to mention myself, what if other clients come and see that there is a child living here?"

"Your assistant?"

"——I'm not professional."

Duanmu Mo took a deep breath and said in an unquestionable tone: "Anyway, I will take care of the rent of the apartment, you can live there."

"Okay..."

Looking at Duanmu Mo's somewhat tough attitude, Xia Yan also knew that there was no room for reversal in this matter. She sighed and agreed.

"Then Yu Zhi, I'll trouble you from now on." Xia Yan turned her head and said to her seriously.

"It's okay. I didn't help much. I just made a suggestion. But the attitude of my landlady is a bit tough." Yu Zhi nodded and said with an embarrassed smile.

"It doesn't matter. I'm good at dealing with people like this." Xia Yan said lightly.

Looking at Xia Yan's face at the moment, I never thought that she would show this in front of Duanmu Mo.

After confirming, Duanmu Mo clapped his hands: "Okay, since it has been decided, let's make a quick decision! Try to let Xia Yan sleep well there at night."

"I can handle this myself. There is no need to trouble Mr. Duanmu." Yu Zhi stood up and said with a gentle smile.

"Don't you need my help?"

Having said that, Duanmu Mo also sat directly on the office chair.

"Well, if I'm going to arrange an apartment, I can tell the landlord myself. Mr. Duanmu also needs to rest, right?"

"I don't care - but if there is a choice, I would rather stay at home."

"Then Senior Xia Yan..." Yu Zhi turned to look at Xia Yan. She stood up from the bed holding Duanmu Mo's windbreaker. Suddenly she thought of something and looked at Duanmu Mo:

"By the way, I will wash this windbreaker and return it to you in a few days."

"If the blood stains on it can't be washed clean, just throw it away. Anyway, I have a lot of such windbreakers." Duanmu Mo yawned and put his feet on the table.

"Then we won't bother you." Yu Zhi and Xia Yan waved and left reluctantly.

-After confirming that the door was completely closed, Duanmu Mo yawned, turned his head and looked out the window, watching the backs of the two people leaving.

"Huh... The two children are finally gone."

Stretching comfortably, Duanmu Mo finally had a little privacy.

He moved his fingers and tried to observe the cards he had obtained.

He raised his hand and the cards emerged from his hand.

The purple background showed the power contained in the card, but unlike ordinary cards, the patterns in the purple quality cards were vivid, as if there was really a space inside to preserve the power.

Duanmu Mo had a mysterious smile on his face, and he pinched the hand holding the card, and another card appeared from the back of the card.

——Two purple quality cards appeared in Duanmu Mo's hand.

Volume 1: Chapter 103: Good Friends

"Duanmu Mo."

—— While Xia Yan was still in a coma, Cang Yi did not plan to stay here for long.

"Give me the blank card you just put in Xi Ri's body."

"Take it, what are you going to do?"

Duanmu Mo looked at Cang Yi in confusion and handed over the blank card.

Cang Yi took it and pinched it at her fingertips:

"If you succeed in killing Du Man, it means that the future has changed, and I, who belong to the future, will no longer exist. But according to my judgment, this world will experience more suffering in the future, and Huang Yu and Du Man are not just one of them."

Holding the blank card tightly, a large amount of pale lightning emerged in Cang Yi's hand, and her tone became weak in an instant:

"Well... Although I don't know if this card will still exist after I die, it will be regarded as your reward for saving Xi Ri. I hope it can help you to the greatest extent. Uh-"

As soon as she finished speaking, her body suddenly became transparent, but soon returned to solidity.

After taking a deep breath, the card in Cang Yi's hand gradually manifested a pattern:

-Under the interweaving of purple lines, the closer to the center of the card, the more white lines gradually appear, like white lightning. In the center of the white thunder, a samurai sword was bathed in thunder.

Taking the card handed over by Cang Yi, Duanmu Mo looked at Cang Yi who was sitting weakly on the sofa and said:

"Do you really believe that I will protect the world?"

"I don't know, and I don't care." Cang Yi panted and shook his head self-deprecatingly: "But I can be sure that if there is a crisis in the world, the past me and Xi Ri will stand up without hesitation, and you will surely protect the people around you."

"I protect Yu Zhi and Xia Yan." Duanmu Mo emphasized their names: "As for the magical girls, I won't care too much."

"That's enough." Cang Yi took a deep breath and stood up: "I should go. I will wait patiently for the day when I disappear... Before that, can I take a sundae?"

"Please."

Duanmu Mo nodded and watched her leave. Then he lowered his head, looked at the new harvest in his hand, and felt the power inside.

After a long time, when he felt Yu Zhi's footsteps, he took the card into his body.

......

"——I didn't expect that the landlady would be so easy to talk to."

Yu Zhi knelt in the empty room, cleaning the house.

"This kind of person is like this. Although they can't be regarded as evil people, they are indeed representatives of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Just show a tougher attitude than her."

Xia Yan stood in front of the window and wiped the window casually.

"......"

Yu Zhi didn't answer. Maybe she agreed with this sentence in her heart, but she couldn't say it because of her family education.

"Okay, everything here has been cleaned up."

After wiping the floor, Yu Zhi wiped the sweat and put the rag in the basin beside her.

Xia Yan also turned around and looked at the scene inside the house, slightly absent-minded: "...I like it very much."

"If you need any help, you can ask for it, Xia Yan."

Yu Zhi said with a gentle smile: "After all, we are already neighbors."

"Well..." Xia Yan's words were a little emotional: "It's already very good, there is water and electricity... I am already very satisfied."

Patting her dusty knees, Yu Zhi stood up.

"-Ah, by the way, I still have to introduce you to the nearby attractions." She suddenly remembered something: "There is a laundry across the street, and there is also a drying service. Let's go there to wash clothes? It's just right to wash Mr. Duanmu's clothes."

As she said, she looked at Duanmu Mo's windbreaker on the side and said.

"This, I don't plan to wash it." Xia Yan said bluntly after noticing Yu Zhi's gaze.

"Don't you want to go to the laundry room?" Yu Zhi said, not too surprised: "Then you have to wash it at home. I have a pack of laundry detergent at home. I'll give it to you."

"No, you misunderstood." Xia Yan shook her head and refused: "I don't plan to wash it."

"Huh?"

Faced with this answer, Yu Zhi was stunned for a moment. Because she didn't understand, her expression was slightly stiff, waiting for Xia Yan's explanation.

Xia Yan picked up Duanmu Mo's windbreaker with a little confusion in her eyes: "-Although I can't see Duanmu Mo's figure, I don't know why, as long as I feel his breath, I will feel very at ease."

"......Huh?"

Yu Zhi didn't understand her thoughts, she couldn't understand it at all.

She, who had a strict family education, suddenly flashed a message in her mind. In the classroom, Xiame Huizi and others were joking about something, and the word "smell fetish" popped up.

"......" Yu Zhi was silent for a long time, and finally said: "But, but this is Mr. Duanmu's clothes..."

"I will tell him that this clothes can't be washed clean."

In front of Yu Zhi, Xia Yan did not hide anything. This frankness should have moved Yu Zhi because of the distance between the two, but now, Yu Zhi hopes that she doesn't want to hear these words.

"Well..." Yu Zhi didn't speak for a long time, and finally nodded slowly: "......If you like."

Not wanting to expand too much on this topic, Yu Zhi changed the topic abruptly: "Then, then, the room still needs some daily necessities, let's go out and buy them."

"No need to bother you anymore, I'm not so picky about these."

Xia Yan hugged Duanmu Mo's windbreaker and shook her head: "Even if it's a bed board, it's enough for me to sleep on."

"How can this work."

Yu Zhi saw that Xia Yan was going to stay like this, and shook her head quickly. Her eyes suddenly lit up: "By the way, I have some spare bedding and pillows in my room, as well as some daily necessities, I'll give them to you too."

"No need for that..."

"--It doesn't matter, they are spare anyway, and it's useless to keep them with me."

Xia Yan was about to refuse, but Yu Zhi pulled her into her house to get the bedding together.

"I really don't know how to thank you..."

--After a while, Yu Zhi and Xia Yan returned to the house with a lot of things, and Xia Yan said with gratitude and apology.

"It's okay, we are friends." Yu Zhi's smile was still gentle: "And I also said, shouldn't magical girls help each other?"

"......"

Hearing this, Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, and shook her head with a bitter smile: "Yes... I have always refused to contact with others, and the words I said before always hurt others. Sorry."

"It's okay." Yu Zhi smiled as usual and stretched out her hand: "Then, we are good friends?"

"Yeah." Xia Yan also smiled and held her hand together: "Please take care of me in the future."

Friends... How long has it been since I heard this word? Xia Yan thought silently.

Sakurai Reman can be regarded as her first friend, but for various reasons, she and she became her mortal enemy.

It is impossible to say that she has no uneasiness about friendship, but after holding Yu Zhi's hand, Xia Yan made up her mind that she must cherish this friendship:

"-Although friends do not ask for anything in return, I feel bad to always accept your help."

After thinking for a while, Xia Yan took a deep breath and finally made a decision:

"So I have to give something in return: I will lend you Duanmu Mo's clothes for one day."

"Eh?"

Yu Zhi's warm smile froze instantly, but Xia Yan still said seriously: "But it's just borrowing, you must return it to me after one day."

-"Return it to me"... This is Mr. Duanmu's clothes, is it so natural to take it for yourself? Besides, does anyone really want this kind of clothes?

Yu Zhi let go of her hand and waved her hand quickly: "No, no, I don't have this... uh, interest."

"Really? That's a pity." Having said that, Xia Yan was relieved. Obviously, she felt very reluctant to hand over Duanmu Mo's clothes.

"I don't think there is any regret." Yu Zhi complained quietly, and suddenly felt that Xia Yan's common sense in some aspects was slightly different from hers.

Perhaps it was because of her past, but no matter what, facing Xia Yan's hobby, Yu Zhi could accept it, but it turned out that she couldn't accept it.

"Then, then you can have a good rest here, and I will go back to do my homework."

Yu Zhi smiled stiffly and said goodbye to Xia Yan.

Then, she returned to her room, took a deep breath, sat back on the bed, and lay down.

"How could this happen..."

Now Yu Zhi's mind was full of Xia Yan holding Duanmu Mo's clothes.

"Why would anyone like this kind of thing..." Turning over, Yu Zhi looked at the ceiling and thought blankly.

Gradually, she changed her mind: "... What's so good about this kind of thing."

- Suddenly, she remembered that not long ago, when Duanmu Mo hit her with a motorcycle to train her to dodge, she unconsciously smelled his scent.

She couldn't remember the specific smell, but she hadn't forgotten the scene at that time.
