Journey to Find Heroic Spirits

He said, "We just arrived in this city and need to find a place to live. I think your place, Kobayashi, is too small. We'll keep an eye out for you when we're looking for houses. It would be best if we could be neighbors."

Kobayashi had been living alone, so she rented the smallest apartment. Now with Tohru and Kanna, the space was indeed too cramped. After some consideration, she took Yuxian's advice and decided to move.

Yuxian jotted down Kobayashi's contact information and bid them farewell.

Kanna was a little reluctant to see Little Jeanne leave, but after hearing they could be neighbors later, she felt better and waved goodbye to everyone.

Leaving Kobayashi's home, Yuxian led everyone to find a place to live. Not knowing how long it would take to find the Heroic Spirits in this world, a place to settle down was a necessity.

Mash asked worriedly, "Senpai, do we have money to rent a place?"

Yuxian smiled mysteriously and presented a stack of bills like a treasure: "Ta-da! Look what I have!"

Mash asked in surprise, "Where did you get the money, Senpai?"

They hadn't been in this world for long, and Yuxian had been under her watchful eye. She couldn't figure out where Yuxian had gotten the money.

"It's some older currency I requested from Seitenshi earlier," Yuxian said with a look of foresight. "This money will be enough for us for a long time."

Mash was very happy to see this and immediately said, "Then let's hurry and find a place to live. If we don't find one soon, we'll be sleeping on the streets tonight."

Yuxian nodded in agreement: "Yes, we'll go look right away. But everyone must be hungry. Let's buy some food we can eat while walking, and we can eat on the way while we look for a place."

It had been a long time since they last ate, and finding a house might take a while. To prevent everyone from going hungry, Yuxian decided to buy them some food first to fill their stomachs.

Section 63, Chapter 3: You Do It If You Can

"What's that? It looks delicious."

They saw a crepe stand on the street, and the aroma wafted from afar, piquing the little ones' appetites.

"That's a crepe!" Illya was more familiar with these things and explained to everyone.

"Master, let's eat crepes!"

"Okay!" Yuxian also wanted to try crepes, so he went to buy some for everyone to eat on the road.

Eating while walking wasn't exactly the most polite behavior, but it felt quite nice. Everyone ate happily, especially Jack, whose mouth was once again covered in crumbs. Compared to the others, she was quite careless in this regard.

Yuxian stopped to gently wipe her mouth. Jack remained still obediently, already very accustomed to Yuxian's care.

Finding a suitable house wasn't easy. They went through the city with everyone, looking at several places, but none were satisfactory.

Finally, Yuxian found a place he was relatively satisfied with and rented it reluctantly. In reality, he preferred to find a quieter place, but such houses were very rare in a bustling city.

This house was quite good, very spacious, enough for the six of them to live in. Moreover, the master bedroom was very large, which was what Yuxian liked most.

He didn't need to guess that the little ones would definitely come to his room. If the space were too small, they wouldn't be able to turn around if they were squeezed together.

There were also two empty rooms, making it a four-bedroom, one-living-room house, which cost a considerable amount in rent.

He didn't know who they would encounter in this world, so leaving spare rooms was also a good way to prepare for the future, so they wouldn't have nowhere to live when they found someone and have to move again.

After renting the house, Yuxian called Kobayashi and told her the exact location, asking her to come and take a look when she had time.

Upon learning that there was a very spacious communal rooftop here, Kobayashi and Tohru quickly made time to come and inspect it. They finally nodded in satisfaction and decided to rent there as well.

This way, Yuxian and Kobayashi became neighbors.

Compared to Kobayashi needing to move, Yuxian and his group only needed to buy some daily necessities from a nearby store to move in.

Every time they went shopping, it was the little ones' happiest time. Yuxian gave some money to Little Jeanne, letting them buy whatever they liked.

Compared to the others, Little Jeanne was the one he worried about the least. Illya came from a wealthy family and was used to spending lavishly; she couldn't hold onto money. Gretel was very willful; if you gave her money, she'd spend it all on books. As for Jack, well.

The little ones ran off to find things they liked, while Yuxian and Mash slowly bought daily necessities in the mall.

The two walked and discussed what they needed to buy, creating a very warm and harmonious atmosphere. Strangers passing by would even mistake them for a newlywed couple.

They themselves didn't realize that a tacit understanding had formed between them; they were very compatible, and disagreements were rare.

In the end, it was still Yuxian carrying large bags of purchases back. Although he was the weakest of the six, he took the responsibility of carrying things to avoid being stared at strangely on the way.

Fortunately, Teacher Chiron had put him through rigorous training, and Yuxian's stamina had improved significantly. If it were before, these items would have left him breathless and exhausted.

After returning home, everyone worked together to organize and decorate the entire house.

It took a lot of time to make the place feel more like a home. After all, they didn't know how long they would be living here, and making their living space comfortable was essential.

Kobayashi and the others moved in soon after. They hired a moving company to pack and transport their belongings from their previous residence. Yuxian and the others happened to have nothing to do, so they went to help them move.

Although the little ones didn't help much, their enthusiasm made Kobayashi very grateful. She decided to throw a party to celebrate their new home.

Kobayashi invited her colleague Takiya, and Tohru invited Fafnir and Elkoya to the gathering.

The group filled Kobayashi's new home, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Bad alcohol is harmful.

After drinking, Kobayashi's voice was unusually loud. When she got drunk, she was like a different person, which left Yuxian speechless.

Meanwhile, Fafnir became obsessed with video games. Compared to his gloomy demeanor when he first arrived, he now resembled a gaming addict, frantically manipulating the controller and battling the monsters on the TV screen.

Elkoya's impossibly perfect figure drew Yuxian's frequent glances, but each time, a murderous aura from beside him would interrupt, forcing him to pretend he wasn't looking.

Kanna and Gretel, two gothic lolitas, sat side-by-side, their adorable appearances incredibly heartwarming.

Illya was reading them a storybook. She was a bit older (?) and very interested in playing the role of an older sister.

Little Jeanne was quite curious about Elkoya. After all, Chaldea had a Quetzalcoatl big sister, and the fourth generation Santa Claus was also a Quetzalcoatl.

She sat next to Elkoya, talking to her and asking all sorts of questions.

Elkoya also felt favorably towards Little Jeanne. She patiently answered her questions, though some of her answers seemed like complete nonsense to Yuxian. Still, her serious demeanor made it difficult to doubt her.

Jack had originally wanted to stick close to Yuxian, but Yuxian felt she should be playing with her friends at this time, so he let her go play on her own.

Little Jeanne was talking to Elkoya, and Jack listened in for a bit. Blinking her big eyes, she realized she didn't understand anything and walked away.

Gretel and Kanna sat quietly together. Jack joined them for a short while, but soon became restless. Except when she was with Yuxian, Jack wasn't a child who could sit still.

Finally, she went over to Fafnir's side and watched him play games.

A scream echoed from the TV screen again. The words "You died!" appeared on the screen, and Fafnir gritted his teeth in anger.

"You should jump to the back here," Little Jack suddenly said.

"Huh?" Fafnir expressed his displeasure at the words of the little white-haired girl beside him, glaring fiercely at Jack.

Jack acted as if she didn't see it. Fafnir's evil aura had no effect on her.

Fafnir scoffed and continued to battle the monsters in the game.

"Here, here! To the right! Behind!" Jack kept giving directions, her small hands pointing at the screen, causing veins to pop on Fafnir's forehead as his anger steadily built.

When the words "You died!" appeared on the screen once more, he handed the controller to Jack, his eyes signaling: If you think you can do better, then do it!

ps:

Chen Gong: No one is a great hero, or everyone is a great hero.

Arash: (Moved to tears)

Guda: Arash and Chen Gong together, double the great hero, double the fun!

Section 64: Chapter Four: Life is Too Hard, It's Better to Find a Strong Backer

Jack innocently took the controller and started pressing buttons frantically at the screen: "Oops! No! Ahhh! I died..."

She dejectedly handed the controller back to Fafnir. After trying it herself, she actually lasted longer than Fafnir had, quickly being defeated.

Fafnir glanced at Jack triumphantly, as if to say: See, you're even worse than me.

At this moment, he didn't realize that he was no longer as resistant to the little girl in front of him as he was at first.

Seeing their two noob-level performances was too much to bear, Takiya, wearing glasses, couldn't watch anymore and spoke up, "I'll teach you."

His movements were skilled, and with a few swift actions, he killed the monsters, much to Fafnir and Jack's astonishment.

Jack looked at him with sparkling eyes and said, "You're as good as Aunt Osakabehime!"

(Osakabehime, in another world, sneezed and muttered: I wonder who's talking about me... Oh well, I need to keep grinding the infinite gacha.)

Takiya handed the controller back to Jack and asked curiously, "Osakabehime? Is she also a gaming enthusiast?"

Little Jack tapped her finger on her mouth, thinking for a moment, "She's a big yokai who never leaves her room."

Takiya didn't think much of Jack's statement, interpreting it as a nickname for an otaku or something similar.

Yuxian, who was not far away, overheard Jack's words and quietly asked Mash, "Is Osakabehime that unpopular? Why does Jack call her Auntie? Shouldn't she usually call her Big Sister?"

Mash replied with a helpless expression, "Because Jack and Gretel often play pranks in Miss Osakabehime's room and disturb her games, so she often kicks them out."

Yuxian understood. Otakus' favorite lolis are usually fictional characters. If a real loli stood in front of them, they'd probably get annoyed after a day.

He said righteously, "When we find Osakabehime later, we must make her leave her room. Staying at home is not allowed. As her Master, I have a responsibility to help her change this bad habit!"

"Are you a devil?" Mash couldn't help but retort. She finally understood that Yuxian's heart was too biased.

However, when she imagined Yuxian kicking Osakabehime out of her room, Mash actually felt a faint sense of anticipation...

Ding dong!

The doorbell rang. The living room was a mess, with everyone busy with their own activities. Tohru had to leave the kitchen to open the door.

Standing outside was a delivery person in a uniform with the courier company's logo on their hat.

"Excuse me, is this Kobayashi's residence? I have a delivery for you. Please sign here." The delivery person politely handed over the package.

This was a gift Yuxian had bought online during the day as a housewarming present for the Kobayashi family.

He had to admit, the delivery staff were truly dedicated, delivering this so late. Yuxian had expected it to arrive tomorrow.

Tohru took the package, looking at the delivery person with a wary expression, feeling a dangerous aura emanating from them.

"Dragon?" the delivery person asked, looking at Tohru with confusion.

Tohru immediately adopted an aggressive stance. She pushed off the ground, lunged forward, and threw a powerful punch.

Bang!

The delivery person outside the door and Tohru threw a punch at each other. The immense impact startled everyone in the living room, who had no idea what was happening at the door.

"What's going on? What's going on?" a drunken Kobayashi asked, turning her head in confusion.

"It's nothing, Kobayashi-san, I'll take care of him quickly!" Tohru replied confidently, preparing to attack again.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Yuxian stepped forward, saw the delivery person outside the door, and immediately called out to stop them both.

He quickly moved between the two, blocking them and preventing them from continuing to fight.

"It's Reindeer Number Two!" Little Jeanne exclaimed in surprise.

"Mr. Siegfried, so it's you, that's really great," Mash also recognized the delivery person outside the door, her face filled with joy.

"I'm sorry, I regret to say I am not Reindeer Number Two. Strictly speaking, I suppose I'm a reptile... I'm truly very sorry," Siegfried said dejectedly. "Master, it's been a long time. I'm truly sorry for suddenly leaving Chaldea."

"Alright, alright, we're all on the same side. Come on in, Fii-ge." With the misunderstanding cleared up, Yuxian was very happy. He had randomly ordered gifts online and happened to run into Siegfried; it was a truly unexpected joy.

"I'm sorry. Master, there's the aura of an evil dragon here, please be very careful." Siegfried cautiously entered the living room, his eyes constantly scanning back and forth over Fafnir.

"Huh?! Do you want to die?!" Fafnir was incensed. He glared fiercely at Siegfried, feeling the aura of a natural enemy emanating from him.

However, despite this, he still held his game controller, unwilling to put it down...

Yuxian couldn't help but get a headache. Siegfried and Fafnir were truly natural enemies; he absolutely couldn't let them fight right now.

He quickly changed the subject: "This is a gift I got for Kobayashi, congratulations on your new home."

Kobayashi took the gift. Still reeking of alcohol, she heartily slapped Yuxian on the back, "You're too kind!"
