Chapter 393: Life Lies in Movement!
"Emmm..."
(￣ ￣|| )
Looking at Pino, who rushed over and hugged her tightly without letting go, a look of helplessness appeared on Yurine's face. She lowered her head and said gently: "Alright, Pino, let me go first."
"Oh."
Hearing this, Pino obediently let go, quickly flashed behind Yurine, put her hands on her slender shoulders, and looked at Lierre vigilantly.
"Aha—! Pino, you are still the same as always!"
Seeing this scene, Ryohei couldn't help laughing.
This pink-haired angel's persecution paranoia was still so severe...
"Mmm—!"
Hearing Ryohei's voice, Pino immediately remembered the "culprit" who attracted the Lord here. Like a pufferfish, she puffed up her cheeks and looked at Ryohei dissatisfiedly.
When Lierre suddenly came over earlier, she was startled, thinking she came to liquidate them.
But then she heard from Pekola that Ryohei invited her to get together.
At that time, she was so angry she leaned back, her chest expanding a full circle!
Then came incomprehension, and fear—
Deeply afraid that Ryohei would sell her out, and she would still be counting money for him there...
"Don't look at me like that... you're overly nervous."
Seeing Pino puffing her face into a bun looking at him, Ryohei stopped joking, patted his chest, and guaranteed: "Rest assured, we are on the same side!"
Before Pino could say anything, he continued: "Lierre has no malicious intent—"
"So she asked Pekola to inquire when the dessert shop would open, and I just went with the flow and invited her to come over together. Everyone knows each other after all."
This was also an explanation for Yurine and the others, as he didn't mention bringing Lierre when discussing yesterday.
"...Re-really?"
Pino looked at Ryohei, suspicious and somewhat uneasy, seemingly trying to find flaws on his face.
"Of course it's true."
Ryohei answered calmly.
"..." Yurine, Lucoa, and Pekola had no objections to Lierre's arrival—it was just adding a "kid" anyway, not affecting anything.
Poporon didn't care either; unlike the sensitive Pino, she could more or less see that Lierre had no malicious intent towards them.
At least for now.
"Excuse the intrusion."
At this time, Lierre also stood up from the sofa, facing Ryohei and the others, and greeted politely.
"Welcome."
Ryohei waved to her, glanced at Pekola, Poporon, and Little Binchou-tan, and said: "Since everyone is here, let's go to the ranch."
After speaking, he looked at Lucoa.
Lucoa raised her hand knowingly, and a circular spatial passage opened in the living room.
"Oh oh—!"
On the other side of the passage, Elma, who was leaning lazily sideways on the sofa, suddenly sat up straight and waved enthusiastically at them: "Mr. Human, you're back!"
"Mn, back."
Ryohei stepped through the spatial passage and arrived at the hilltop villa of Stardew Valley Ranch.
"Welcome back!"
Several voices came from one side—
Ryohei turned his head and saw Tohru and Kobayashi sitting on the other side of the sofa looking at him—the TV in the living room was on; they should have been watching TV before.
On the floor in front of them, Kanna and Ilulu were playing Monopoly.
Ryohei gave a smiling "Mn," walked over, and greeted them familiarly.
"..."
Yurine, Lucoa, Pekola, and the others also arrived at the hilltop villa one after another.
Everyone greeted each other.
Little Binchou-tan naturally leaned close to Kanna and Ilulu, then was invited to join the game.
"Wah—!"
Jashin-chan strolled to the window, looked out, and exclaimed in surprise: "The snow outside is so thick!"
"As expected of Hokkaido!"
Yurine put her hands behind her back, walked over, and sighed softly.
Hearing that the snow was thick, Ryohei curiously leaned over to take a look—outside the window was already a world wrapped in silver!
Hokkaido truly deserved to be the land of snow; such snow scenery could not be seen in the south at all.
"Suddenly want to ski..."
Jashin-chan had a whim, turned to look at Ryohei, and suggested enthusiastically: "Servant, it's still early; why not go skiing and have a snowball fight together!"
"Skiing in the ranch?"
Ryohei looked over in surprise.
"Mn, just compact the snow on the road from the entrance to the bottom of the hill, and we can ski." Jashin-chan raised a finger and spoke eloquently.
There are always more solutions than difficulties. If conditions don't exist, create them!
"You're so smart."
Yurine crossed her arms, looked at Jashin-chan, and raised an objection: "Skiing like that is possible, but not safe. What if we fly off?"
After all, it was a winding road—if not controlled well, one could easily fly straight off.
"Deal with it then; what else can we do?"
╮(╯∀╰)╭
Jashin-chan spread her hands nonchalantly: "Won't die anyway, at most get injured a bit."
Having an immortal body made one so arrogant!
"Life lies in movement! Skiing counts as an extreme sport; don't worry about getting injured!" Jashin-chan clenched her fist, getting fired up inexplicably.
"Better to worry a little..."
(￣ ￣|| )
Pekola was speechless for a moment and whispered, taking over the conversation.
"Where is your sportsmanship!"
Jashin-chan immediately put her hands on her hips and retorted dissatisfiedly.
"Does it disappear if I worry about getting injured?"
Seeing Jashin-chan's face getting close, Pekola subconsciously raised her hand and leaned back, asking weakly.
"I stand with Pekola on this one."
Ryohei put one hand on his waist, interrupting their conversation.
Facing Jashin-chan who made a "Hah" sound and turned to look, he waved his hand: "Forget about such a dangerous game."
"If you want to ski, I'll take you to a professional ski resort in a couple of days. There happens to be a famous Hokkaido ski resort nearby."
"Agree."
Yurine spoke up, siding with Ryohei.
"Fine..."
Jashin-chan showed disappointment upon hearing this, but then cheered up again, clenched her fist, and suggested: "Then let's have a snowball fight!"
"..." Ryohei suddenly thought of the "Demon World style snowball fight" in the original work, where the unethical Jashin-chan even threw grenades.
His eyelids couldn't help twitching.
