Chapter 893 The Daily Life After Returning
Now that Maki Ikeuchi has become a C-rank member, she will no longer accompany Fang Wuwei on missions. Instead, she will accompany Shuo Yu and her current team on missions.
In other words, Fang Wuwei's opportunities to train her will be greatly reduced, which Ikeuchi Maki finds quite regrettable.
Even so, Fang Wuwei would not abandon her. He had added Ikeuchi Maki as a friend on the system and listed him as the first person to ask for help. If Ikeuchi Maki encountered an insurmountable enemy or situation and sent a request for help to the organization, he would receive the message immediately and go to clean up the mess for her, fulfilling his duty.
Incidentally, this was the first time Fang Wuwei had ever heard of the existence of such a strange thing as a 'first person to request help'. After learning about this, Fang Wuwei checked his own first person to request help. He had never known about this before, and out of curiosity, he clicked on it and found that the name filled in was Tianyuan.
Okay, okay, no wonder I never knew this thing existed.
Maki Ikeuchi was excited and proud that she could now stand on her own. When she returned from headquarters, she held her head high and looked very pleased with herself.
"Boss, I'm back, meow."
Hearing the commotion outside, Ella came out of her little room, stretching as she walked over.
They returned to the same place they left, the second-floor corridor of Fang Wuwei's house. They didn't take off their shoes, their feet covered in dirt on the floor. Ella was taken aback by their sight, gave Ikeuchi Maki a reproachful look, and then ran over and rubbed her head against Fang Wuwei's stomach, looking like she wanted a pat.
Ella is usually quite clingy. Although she acts as the housekeeper in Fang Wuwei's house, when she doesn't have any chores to do, she's just like a clingy big cat. She's gentle, cute, and loves to be pampered. Occasionally, she'll sneak in a little laziness and take a nap. Seeing this, Fang Wuwei couldn't help but laugh and hugged Ella's head and rubbed it.
Maki Ikeuchi was envious and wanted to pick up Isla and rub her too, but unfortunately, Isla wouldn't let her.
However, Maki Ikeuchi quickly composed herself and stared at Isla with a mischievous grin.
She's a full member of the organization now, and she's earning points... Sooner or later... sooner or later, she'll buy an Palico for her!
Maki Ikeuchi doesn't need a super big cat butler, since she has family, has free time, and housework isn't difficult for her. But she really needs a super cute, talking, clingy big cat.
"Master~ I'm leaving now, I need to go give gifts to Shichimiya and the others~"
"Wait a minute, change your shoes first, meow! Take off your dirty shoes, meow!"
Ella took out two pairs of slippers and placed them on the floor. After the two men changed their shoes, she threw the two pairs of slippers into the toilet to wash them. Then she took out a rag and began to wipe the floor, cleaning up the dirty shoe prints left by the two men.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Maki Ikeuchi gave Ella's head a couple of quick rubs, then pulled her hand back before Ella could bite her, laughing as she rushed downstairs. But her run ended abruptly the moment she reached the bottom of the stairs.
Fang Wuwei thought that Ikeuchi Maki had left using the Flying Thunder God Technique, but when he followed her downstairs, he was stunned by the view below.
The entire living room was a complete mess. Yuta, Rikka, and the others were all still there, as if they had never left. Now, everyone was lying around in his living room, fast asleep. Written papers and books were scattered all over the place, snacks and drinks were piled up on the table, and the TV was still connected to a game console with a certain All-Star Final Fight game still running, but no one was playing it. Everyone was asleep.
There was someone sleeping on every sofa in his house. Those who didn't get a sofa, like Yuuta and Rikka, were lying directly on the floor, each covered with a small blanket, fast asleep.
They were all sleeping soundly, except for Yuta, who looked a little abnormal. His expression was not normal, and he seemed to be in pain, as if he had not fallen asleep on his own, but had been violently knocked unconscious.
Fang Wuwei looked at the chaotic living room and the people inside, remained silent for a while, and then raised his head to look at the clock on the wall.
It's almost noon now...
"Ella, how long have we been walking?"
"It's a day, meow."
They had been away for a little over a week, while less than a day had passed here. For Yuta and the others, it felt like only yesterday after school when Fang Wuwei called them over, they left that afternoon, and they were back today.
"How did you fall asleep here?"
Ella looked at the living room and the group of people sleeping soundly in it, and sighed with a bitter expression.
"They're really into it, meow... They've been working on that Bible or something since yesterday, meow, and it just turned into a party, meow..."
Fang Wuwei walked over with a sullen face. Looking at the unfinished, cold pizza, the potato chips and snacks scattered on the ground, and the papers written on the ground, his face darkened.
"Let them clean it up themselves."
"That's what I was planning too, meow. When I wanted to clean, they said I didn't need to. I even covered myself with these little blankets, meow."
Ella couldn't stand the mess and wanted to clean it up, but Yuta and the others were all busy and didn't want to be bothered by Ella, so they told her not to clean it and that they would take care of it themselves when they were done. That's how this huge mess was left behind.
However, after looking around, Fang Wuwei discovered a problem.
"Where are Zhangye and Lingzhi? Did they go back?"
"That guy went back, meow. He said he had things to do. As for that little girl, she's sleeping in your room, meow."
"?"
Fang Wuwei suddenly turned his head and looked at Ella with disbelief.
"My room? What do you mean by sleeping in my room?"
"That little girl named Dansheng Valley pushed her in, meow... saying everyone would be too noisy, and only your room, boss, has a soundproofing array, meow..."
Maki Ikeuchi's eyes immediately lit up with gossip. She glanced at Fang Wuwei with a sly look, then very tactfully ran downstairs and sat down next to Shichimiya, who was fast asleep on the sofa. She poked Shichimiya's face, trying to wake her up, but the sly smile on her face completely betrayed her intentions, making Fang Wuwei a little annoyed.
"It's getting late, Master~ Go wake them up quickly~ It's time for dinner~ I'll take care of Zhiyin and the others~"
Fang Wuwei remained silent for a while, then glanced back at Ella, who shrugged and scurried into the kitchen to start cooking breakfast, clearly not wanting to get involved.
Fang Wuwei took a deep breath, then sighed heavily, and silently turned and went upstairs under the teasing gaze of Ikeuchi Maki.
Ella had already mopped the corridor spotless, and only then did he notice that the guest room door was wide open and empty, while his own room door was tightly shut.
Arriving at the door, Fang Wuwei took a deep breath and knocked.
"Camphor leaf? Time to get up?"
No one answered. His soundproofing array was engraved on the door; anyone knocking could be heard inside, meaning... he wasn't awake yet...
"Am I coming in?"
There was still no answer, so Fang Wuwei pushed the door open and went in.
The curtains in the room were drawn so tightly they were completely opaque, yet sunlight still managed to seep in. The midday sun shone evenly and gently through the curtains, covering the floor. Using this dim light, Fang Wuwei slowly walked to the bedside and saw that Zhang Ye was sleeping peacefully and soundly.
