Fu-chan, Move Aside

Just like children today.

"Master, Master, where is Sagittarius? Why can't we find him?"

The children's first thought was Sagittarius, which is the constellation of Teacher Chiron, after all.

Yuxian smiled and pointed to the night sky to the south, "There."

"But it doesn't look like it at all!"

Constellations require imagination; the visual effect is not very obvious. The connection between a few bright stars only outlines a general shape.

You have to fill in the blanks in your mind yourself.

Yuxian slowly began to explain to the children, and this heartwarming scene made him feel as if he had returned to his childhood.

But now he is that adult.

After pestering Yu Xian to look up the constellations for a Yuxian, the children quickly ran out of patience.

Finding your zodiac sign isn't as interesting as you might think; they quickly moved on.

There were some noises coming from behind the house; they had gone out for a ride on their Hippogriff.

There were no bright lights in the mountain village at night, and Afu's villa was close to the foot of the mountain, making it difficult to see Hippogriff's figure with the naked eye.

Yuxian smiled helplessly; these kids really can't sit still.

He turned to Afu and asked, "How long have you been here?"

Afu replied, "It's been almost two years, and it's still pretty good here."

The fact that Afu has stayed in this small village for two years shows that he really likes it here.

"So, are you coming with us this time, or staying here?"

After a moment of silence, Afu slowly shook his head and said, "Call me when you return to Chaldea, Master. I'm quite used to living here, so I won't go to the city."

"Well, it's up to you to decide." Yuxian probably guessed that Afu wouldn't leave.

The village is not far from the city, Yuxian and the others can come to see Afu anytime, which is not a problem.

"By the way," Yuxian thought of the other people and asked Afu, "Do you have any news about the others? We've just arrived, so we certainly don't know as much as you do."

Afu replied, "I know where Osakabehime is."

"Osakabehime?"

"Yes! It's that guy." Osakabehime Afu from the Ministry of Justice gets angry just thinking about it.

He complained with dissatisfaction, "She comes to bother me every month, always asking for money. I really want to ignore her and let her starve to death."

"Last month, she actually mortgaged Himeji Castle to the Queen Sheba in order to play games. How could anyone in Chaldea be so stupid as to borrow money from that swindler!"

Everyone knows who the Queen Sheba, so how could the people of Chaldea not know?

Afu truly admires Osakabehime; she would even do something as self-destructive as drinking poison to quench her thirst. Her centuries of experience must be fake.

Having stayed in one place for hundreds of years, Osakabehime actually doesn't have much experience to speak of.

Is the Queen Sheba also here?

Yuxian blinked and heard another piece of good news.

"Hmm, I don't have her contact information, but Osakabehime definitely does."

Afu had no desire to have anything to do with that unscrupulous merchant. He was well-off and living a good life. He would have to be incredibly confused to go to the Queen Sheba.

Yuxian could only shake his head helplessly at Afu's complaints about Osakabehime and the Queen Sheba, offering no further comment.

He asked, "Do you have Osakabehime's address? Let's go find her when we get back, so she doesn't really starve to death in her rented room."

"Let me look for it."

Afu took out his phone and started searching for Osakabehime's address, which he remembered had been saved on his phone.

"This is it." Afu slowly revealed the address of Osakabehime.

"Huh?" Vignette exclaimed in surprise.

"Isn't this Gabriel's address?"

Gabriel said lazily, "No, that's 201. I live in 202."

"She's right next door!" Vignette said irritably. "You really haven't seen her before?"

She had previously said that Gabriel didn't know the person living next door and was just subconsciously teasing her, but it turns out that Gabriel really had never met her neighbor.

"Why bother getting to know each other? It's too much trouble. Wouldn't it be better if everyone just did their own thing and didn't bother each other?"

Gabriel had no interest in getting to know her neighbors or anything like that.

"This really can't be blamed on Gabriel." Yuxian rarely defended Gabriel.

"Because Osakabehime is an even more introverted person than Gabriel."

Compared to Osakabehime, Gabriel at least goes to school occasionally and is sometimes dragged out for activities by Vignette and the others.

Osakabehime truly never left her home. Yuxian had lived in that apartment building for so many days, they still had no idea that Osakabehime Gabriel.

"See, you can't blame me, can you?" Gabriel said, echoing Yuxian's words.

Vignette rolled her eyes at her speechlessly.

Yuxian said with a smile, "I think you and Gabriel Osakabehime definitely have something in common. I'll introduce you two when we get back."

"No, that's too much trouble," Gabriel instinctively refused.

Yuxian said, "She's a game enthusiast."

"Hmm?" Gabriel blinked, becoming interested in Osakabehime. "How much does she have a hobby?"

Yuxian pondered for a moment and said, "Probably someone who plays games all the time except when eating and sleeping."

Vignette was startled and immediately stopped them, saying, "We absolutely cannot let them meet us!"

Gabriel is now completely addicted to the game, and if she were to meet someone else like her, they would become even more unrestrained.

Gabriel's eyes lit up, and she said very seriously, "Vignette is right, I do need to get along well with my neighbors."

As a game enthusiast, Gabriel was very interested in getting to know Osakabehime, as she was worried about not having any friends to play games with.

Vignette covered her face, realizing that her goal of pulling Gabriel out of the game was becoming increasingly unattainable.

"Don't worry, since they live upstairs from us, I will keep a close eye on them."

Mash quickly comforted Vignette, knowing she couldn't ignore her under her watchful eye, since she had nothing better to do anyway.

"Then good luck."

Yuxian offered Mash.

He had no confidence that Mash would succeed. To get Osakabehime and Gabriel to reform, it would probably be easier to destroy the world.

If you push her too hard, believe me, Gabriel might just pull out the 'Horn of the End' in a heartbeat.

Chapter 19, Section 390: Afu-chan, Move Aside!

A gentle breeze is blowing, and it's much more comfortable to cool off in the courtyard than in an air-conditioned room.

However, it's not without its downsides.

Afu's villa is located near the foot of the mountain, where there are an unusually large number of mosquitoes and flying insects.

Even with constant patting with a palm-leaf fan, the disturbance was still extremely annoying.

There are gains and losses; indeed, nothing in this world is perfect.

My good mood was quickly ruined by the mosquitoes, and people in the yard gradually left.

Yuxian glanced at the restless Mash and said to her, "You go back inside first. I'll wait for the children to come back before going in."

Mash had originally intended to stay with Yu Xian for Yuxian, but she was so annoyed by the mosquitoes that she nodded and went back inside.

The children returned excitedly after a while.

They ran over and surrounded Yuxian, "Master, let's talk about something."

The little ones started acting cute, but you could tell it wasn't anything good.

"You guys go ahead and tell me," Yuxian said noncommittally.

He wouldn't fall for their tricks. If something happened as soon as he got back, it must be related to Hippogriff.

"You should agree first!"

Several children took turns shaking him, one on each side.

Yuxian was a little dizzy from being shaken.

He said, "As long as it's not related to Hippogriff, I can consider agreeing to your request."

Yuxian wasn't fooled, and the children couldn't figure it out.

"We just can't bear to Hippogriff, we want to take it home!"

As expected, Yuxian smiled to himself; the home they were referring to was the place they were currently living in.

"That won't do. Hippogriff has nowhere to live, you can't take it with you." Yuxian refused without hesitation, there was no point in even thinking about it.

"There's nowhere else to stay. Find a room big enough for Hippogriff to stay in." The children were still bargaining.

Yuxian said, "The door is so small, Hippogriff can't get in. Besides, do you want to lock it up?"

Yuxian said that, the children realized that it was indeed not very reliable.

They added, "Then let's move to a different house. Let's find a big villa like Afu's."

Yuxian couldn't help but roll her eyes. Is a villa something you can just find whenever you want?

Villas in the city are very different from villas in mountain villages. Leaving aside Yuxian has the financial means, even if he does, it's not something he can just find anytime he wants.

Moreover, there's nowhere in the city for Hippogriff to roam freely.

"Don't even think about it, we're not moving. Besides, it's not far from here, you can come over anytime."

The children had no choice but to ask, "Then we want to stay here for two more days."

He nodded. "Go back and wash up now, and go to bed early."

Yuxian readily agreed to the request, since he had nothing else to do anyway, and staying here for a few more days wouldn't be a problem.

I'll ask Vignette and the others tomorrow if they want to stay a few more days; they can go back first if they wish.

In the countryside, it gets dark early and light comes out early as well.

As dawn broke, a rooster crowed, waking Yuxian from his sleep.

Waking up to the rising sun – it's impossible not to have a healthy lifestyle like that.

While he was washing up, he saw Gabriel and greeted her, "Good morning, Gabriel."

It's quite rare for a useless angel to get up at this time.

Gabriel sighed and said, "I can't believe I can't sleep in the morning. This place is truly hell..."

If you go to bed early last night, it's normal to have trouble sleeping this morning.

But it was very uncomfortable for Gabriel. She was so bored that she was going crazy and didn't want to stay a moment longer.

She asked, "When are we going back?"

Yuxian had decided last night to stay here for a few more days, but seeing Gabriel like this, he couldn't bear to tell her the cruel truth.

After breakfast, Satania and the others went out for a stroll and didn't return until around noon.

Satania walked ahead with a sullen expression, while Raphael behind her smirked.

"What would you like to eat for lunch?" Mash asked the two of them as she came out.

"Let's eat roast goose!"
