Three Hundred and Three Girls, Sleeping in the Lobby of the Mansion

(Thank you very much for the rewards of 'Tian Yu Jia Cuo', 'Joe Nai Sheng', 'Shih Tzu Dog o0', '～Angel's Play'!)

As a result, that night, Noah, who stayed up until midnight because of magic, did not come to any constructive guesses.

Now, Noah is basically sure that the wonderful feeling he sensed on Aoko Aozaki is the magic of the Aozaki family.

However, Noah is still not sure about why magic can bring him the same feeling as when he was in that snow-white world.

Surely that snow-white world is where the roots are.

No, it should be said that if the magic of Aozaki Aoko proves that the snow-white world is the location of the root, then the fact that Noah himself has been there, but has not been able to obtain magic is negating this possibility.

As a result, this matter has successfully entered a dead end.

Unable to understand, Noah simply gave up and fell into a deep sleep like giving up.

This sleep, directly slept until dawn.

...

In the morning, the white mist, like the freezing cold, filled the whole mansion with low temperature.

As soon as it was dawn, Noah woke up from his sleep, feeling the cold outside the quilt, almost like other ordinary people, and instantly had the idea of ​​going back to sleep.

However, this idea is only fleeting, Noah is not an ordinary person after all.

After all, Noah is already used to the cold even if the strength of his whole body is suppressed to the level of ordinary people with limited abilities.

The four years of practice in the deep mountains and old forests really benefited Noah a lot.

It was also because of such a period of time that Noah developed a strong adaptability to the surrounding environment.

It's cold. For Noah, it is not so unbearable.

"Crack..."

After putting on the Misaki High School uniform, he opened the door, and Noah came out of his room, yawning. While braving the low temperature, he walked in the corridor filled with cold air.

In addition to a TV set in Youzhu's mansion,

There are few other modern offerings.

Naturally, there is no heating, which makes the winter in the mansion a difficult period of time.

There is a fireplace in the front hall on the first floor of the mansion, but it is said that it has not been used for at least the time calculated in units of years. Naturally, it is not used now.

The area of ​​the mansion is very large, and there are three floors, so that a lot of empty rooms have accumulated in the whole mansion. If they are rented out, it will definitely make the owner of the mansion earn a lot of money. .

The hallways are carpeted. There are also older furniture around, which makes it look like a medieval castle. Although luxurious, it also gives people a sense of coldness and loneliness.

The stairs leading to the lobby on the first floor are at the end of the corridor and in the center of the building.

Walking down the stairs in the center of the museum, Noah came to the hall on the first floor of the museum amidst the unique clicking sound of the wooden stairs.

"Huh?" Noah, who had come to the hall before he had time to finish the stairs, suddenly stopped, and passed through the guardrail of the stairs as if feeling something. He looked towards the corner of the hall below.

There, there are scenes that make people hold their breath.

Beside the fireplace, a girl dressed in black like a nun quietly spread her feet casually from the sitting position. Sitting there was a young girl with an extremely beautiful figure.

Not only that, but the beautiful girl leaned her body sideways in the direction of the stove, closed her eyes, lowered her head slightly, and fell into a deep sleep like a long sleep.

That's right, the girl was falling into a deep sleep.

Although from the outside. It was like a sleeping person without any signs of life or breath, motionless like a statue. But Noah still noticed the girl's weak breath, which was so weak that she would never be able to detect it unless she was close to the past.

Looking at Youju, who was leaning on the stove and sleeping in a graceful posture, Noah couldn't help showing a surprised expression at this beautiful scene. There was a peaceful emotion in my heart.

Not for anything else.

Just because, even though Youzhu's sleeping face is still expressionless as before, Noah can feel a sense of peace emanating from Youzhu at this moment.

Yes, Youzhu is very at ease now.

Like a child nestled in the arms of its parents, Youzhu leaned against the stove, as if falling asleep in a cradle amidst the whispers of her parents, with an indescribable sense of security.

Feeling the relief, Noah looked at Youzhu with a very short-lived softness.

Aoko Aozaki was right.

Youzhu treasures this mansion very much, to the point where she regards it as a cradle accompanied by her parents.

Presumably, staying in the mansion, Youzhu should feel as comfortable as if her parents were by her side all the time, that's why she fell asleep casually in the lobby of the mansion in such a peaceful posture, right?

Of course, sitting on the ground like this in such a cold day, leaning on the stove that is not working at all, the low temperature will definitely make it impossible for anyone to fall asleep, unless they want to fall asleep and don't want to wake up.

However, Noah was not worried about this matter either.

How to put it, Youzhu is a magician, it shouldn't be difficult to solve the problem of temperature, right?

Thinking of this, Noah went down the stairs and came to the hall. He wanted to go and carry Youzhu back to her room to sleep, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up.

Leaving aside the fact that Yuzu's room is in the west building, it is an area where Aoko Aozaki is forbidden to go there when he is free.

Besides, with Youju's personality, she is not an ordinary girl who will accept other people's kind behavior.

For the thoughtful behavior of Noah, who was an enemy not long ago and now invaded his own territory and lives in his most precious mansion, not only will Youzhu not accept it, but he will also be angry because of it?

"Really, why are my cohabitants such troublesome people?" Noah couldn't help complaining.

Imari, Julie, and Lilith in Absolute Double Blades have all been Noah's cohabitants.

One of them has an unstable personality, one is innocent, the other is overconfident, and they are all unpredictable. Noah has never had a moment of peace of mind.

Now, not to mention Cang Qiqingzi and Yuzhu, one is naturally unwilling to admit defeat, and the other is silent and willful. How can Noah not complain?

"Crack—————!"

At this time, on the stairs, the sound of footsteps mixed with the unique sound of wooden stairs sounded again.

"What are you doing here?" Aoki Aoko's energetic voice came down from upstairs.

When Aozaki Aoko came to Noah's side and saw Yuzu who was sleeping by the stove, the gaze at Noah became meaningful.

"Is it also your interest to peep at the girl's sleeping appearance?"

"I think it's not difficult for ordinary people to imagine that they are hesitating whether to wake up the cohabitant who is sleeping on the ground in such a cold day." Noah glanced at Aozaki Aoko.

"Or, deliberately burying me is also your interest?"

"I'm just giving you a piece of advice. Don't think that Youzhu doesn't care if your sleeping face is seen by the opposite sex." Aoki Aoko brushed her waist-length hair and said intentionally or unintentionally.

"I can guarantee that if Youzhu knew that you saw her sleeping, you would be very angry."

"Really?" Noah said angrily.

"If that's the case, why do you want to sleep in such a conspicuous place?"

"This is Youzhu's mansion, and it is their right to sleep wherever they like." Aoko Aozaki said with disapproval.

"Besides, because of the foreign magician's affairs yesterday, Youzhu was busy until late, so it's not surprising that he fell asleep right away because of exhaustion?"

"What?" Noah asked suspiciously.

"Is the matter of the alien magician still unresolved?"

Aoko Aozaki frowned slightly, and her eyes began to become stern.

"That has nothing to do with you, it is the responsibility of our managers."

From Aozaki Aoko's performance, Noah could clearly feel the opponent's hostility.

Obviously, Aozaki Aoko has not let down his vigilance on himself.

After all, on the surface, Noah is also a foreign magician.

"I really don't understand your thoughts." Noah sighed.

"You're showing such obvious hostility towards me, and you're reminding me like a bad guy that I won't offend Youzhu. Since you regard me as an enemy, why don't you hate me?"

As soon as these words came out, Aozaki Aoko's eyes enlarged for a moment, and then sharpened immediately.

"Buzz!"

A faint blue light representing magic power bloomed from Aoko Aozaki's body. (to be continued)
