The dining table

The day passed quickly. Arcueid sniffed and slowly opened her eyes, but the drowsiness in her eyes vanished in an instant.

"I fell asleep! Ugh--! I've been so lazy! I should have set aside some time to recover! He got away again! You should have reminded me!"

"Don't be so loud when you're awake."

Looking at Arcueid, who had fully recovered, Bai Mo was once again amazed by the guy's boundless energy. As for the person she was asking, it was naturally Crimson Moon inside her body.

Before Crimson Moon could answer, Arcueid noticed Bai Mo sitting by the bed, her nightgown, and the hand she had been holding onto.

Then, in just a few seconds, Bai Mo saw her facial expression change from confusion, doubt, surprise, to ecstasy.

Before seeing this expression, Bai Mo always thought that the expression of joy with stars in one's eyes was a rhetorical device.

But that's certainly true for Arcueid. At first, they could only get intimate under the pretext of drinking blood, but now he actually took the initiative to be carried back to bed and even stayed!

The intense happiness and sense of accomplishment from conquering the world almost made her faint with joy.

Then, Bai Mo felt a thud in his chest. Arcueid rubbed against his clothes, hugged him tightly, and chuckled foolishly.

"That's enough, you've slept all day, I need to go check the situation outside."

"Huh? What could possibly happen? Nothing bad will happen..."

Seeing that her little hands were getting restless, Bai Mo helplessly cupped her face in his hands.

"There are still many things to do. I've been looking forward to visiting this Blue Country city for a long time."

Arcueid clearly wasn't going to let go, but Crimson Moon's voice echoed in her mind, "Do I need to remind you? If this continues, isn't the neighbor coming soon?"

She seems to be wiping the knife already.

Arcueid clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, then reached for Bai Mo's collar with both hands.

I'm hungry.

There is still time.

After a while, Bai Mo looked at the numerous bite marks on his neck and felt as if a wild animal was marking its territory. After tidying himself up, he prepared to go out, while Arcueid was still wearing that nightgown.

Aren't you going to change your clothes?

The Bai Mo nightgown is nothing special in appearance, just pure white. But it is very soft and covers the body completely.

"No, this outfit is comfortable for me. Keep your old one too, I'll put it in your closet later."

"When did I get a wardrobe in Millennium Castle..."

Not wanting to dwell on the issue too much, Bai Mo and Arcueid left the Millennium Castle. The traditional Japanese-style buildings in the Millennium Castle were all located on a mountain, basically on both sides of the mountain.

As soon as Bai Mo stepped outside, he saw Shi holding a knife.

"Style? What is this...?"

"Nothing, just going for a walk." Shiki smiled gently as always, but the knife in his hand didn't exactly convince anyone.

"This time, we really have Miss Arcueid to thank. She was so fast, just like a cat that darts over as soon as it sees a fish take the bait."

"Really? I don't think a fish would obediently wait to be eaten once it falls into a cat's hands."

The moment the two met, Bai Mo sensed an inexplicable chilling aura. Just as he was about to say something, Shi turned to him and said:

"It seems that at least the nurturing aspect wasn't neglected. I was worried you wouldn't be able to prepare the nutrient solution properly. Seeing that he's still intact, I'm relieved."

"Yes, I've basically recovered here. I'm going to check on the new Lostbelt; there are quite a few things I can start dealing with now."

"Really? It seems the water temperature in Millennium Castle is quite good."

Shi tilted his head and smiled at Bai Mo, then opened his narrowed eyes and asked:

"So... Bai Mo, which do you think is more comfortable, the bathhouse in Millennium Castle or our family's hot spring?"

Upon hearing this, Arcueid turned his gaze over as well.

"Yes, I'm curious too!"

For some reason, despite it being an ordinary question, there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

The smell of blood made his brain work quickly, and he began to subconsciously think and make judgments.

"Although they are both bathing places, they are completely different, like comparing a sedan to an SUV. They should be compared with similar types, like hot springs to other hot springs, or bathhouses to other bathhouses."

But recovering from that state, even a wooden barrel would feel like heaven to me. Should we try swapping Arcueid and Shiroi? Maybe that would give us the answer.

Both of them pouted in dissatisfaction, their expressions deflated as if they had punched cotton.

"These kinds of things tend to lean entirely towards rationality; it seems the only time this world is gentle is when it's weak."

"Same feeling."

What are you talking about?

Bai Mo looked at the two of them, glanced at Arcueid, and then sheathed his sword, saying:

"It's nothing, let's go back and eat first before going out, I'm hungry too. Is the East your hometown on that side of your world? I'm really looking forward to Chinese food!"

"Okay, I'll go get the ingredients first."

Bai Mo nodded in agreement with the arrangement, and as he prepared to leave, he said to the two of them somewhat seriously:

"Arcueid, I'll help out with the beast fighting in the future. Please treat it as a casual pastime or exercise, not as work."

"Also, you're maintaining the laws of gravity and other forces here, right? If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know."

They had never seen Bai Mo so serious before. His eyes were fixed on them, and the two of them paused, subconsciously nodding.

Seeing the two nod, Bai Mo breathed a sigh of relief and then disappeared in a flash.

The two who remained exchanged a glance, then prepared to return.

"You're coming too?"

"I forgot to mention dessert. If your table can't even seat three people, you can have it moved to mine."

"Heh, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to sleep peacefully here."
