Free Web NovelChapter 800: Chapter 2: It’s All ××’s Fault!
Perhaps it seemed impossible that this young man was only seventeen—
Even if his appearance was indeed very youthful, but like a certain Demon Sage, who also appeared fresh and spirited, yet who would believe she was seventeen?
So Gu Mo regretfully complied with the slightly displeased Teacher Keine and made a slight adjustment to his age, making his attitude appear more cooperative... Only then did Teacher Keine nod with satisfaction and reaffirm the answer to the previous question.
However, even with a confirmed answer, she instinctively felt it should be "married three times" rather than "has three marriage partners."
So she looked at the young man before her and could not help but feel a deep sense of sympathy.
Perhaps it was for this reason that he entered Fantasy Land... Just like demons and gods negated by the outside world, gradually obsolete things, or species on the verge of extinction, they appear in Fantasy Land; the hidden ones are also completely exiled.
Simply put, they are forgotten, abandoned entities by the outside world.
Yet upon reflection—
If it weren’t for experiencing successive massive setbacks leading to complete disillusionment, how would the average person be spirited away to Fantasy Land? It’s just that this person was unlucky; at barely twenty years old, he had already lost three loved ones...
So it’s no wonder...
The basic information registration went smoothly afterward; as Kamishirasawa Keine said, the registration was meant to gain a basic understanding of outsiders to better arrange their work and life, not for other reasons, and typically didn’t involve much privacy.
For instance, marital status was already the only sensitive aspect, registered for the overall matchmaking work in the Human World, ultimately for the reason mentioned initially.
Thus Kamishirasawa Keine remained straightforward, as she put away the notebook and waved to the two: "Come follow me, the vacant houses for hosting outsiders are over there... Of course, temporarily; if you plan to stay afterward, a new house will be assigned."
"The benefits are really good..."
Gu Mo nodded indifferently, perhaps because Fantasy Land lacks the conditions for real estate speculation, so houses and properties weren’t driven sky-high; for the Human World, which proactively welcomes outsiders, offering some vacant houses for hospitality wouldn’t be an issue.
Anyway, there are plenty of houses, and population is what’s truly scarce, let alone possible new concepts and opportunities brought by outsiders.
Gu Mo turned back to look at Alice, but before he could speak, she nodded and calmly took the initiative to say, "Do not worry, Teacher Keine is known as a good person in Fantasy Land... Nonetheless, I’ll go with you."
The Blond Maiden naturally misunderstood Gu Mo’s expression.
She assumed upfront that he was probably worried.
It’s very normal; no matter how indifferent one seems, suddenly appearing in a completely unfamiliar environment surely wouldn’t allow one to let their guard down quickly. Like how he immediately expressed a desire to visit the Boli Shrine and prepare to leave Fantasy Land, that was clear evidence.
Therefore, the current situation could naturally be understood—
In this unfamiliar town, at the time nightfall descends, letting him follow a clearly demon stranger alone was indeed daunting for him... Although everyone in Fantasy Land knew Teacher Keine was a rare epitome of conscience and integrity, the outsider wouldn’t know.
With good intentions, Miss Alice decided not to fuss and simply intended to accompany him.
"...Thank you, Miss Alice." Gu Mo’s expression was subtly nuanced; he intended to bid farewell to the maiden, yet unexpected was her warm-heartedness.
Compared to the always clamorous Tamamo insisting "I am a reformed child, a kind fox elf," this was truly a kind-hearted person. Clearly, Miss Shinki’s education was effective, at least in this aspect, unlike her own chaotic nature.
At this moment, Gu Mo couldn’t help but feel a sense of comfort.
"Let’s go, Teacher Keine, trouble you."
Being watched by the young man’s uniquely meaningful gaze, the Blond Maiden felt slightly unnatural but did not overthink, assuming only gratitude was expressed. She shifted her gaze towards Kamishirasawa Keine, calmly speaking.
"It’s no trouble; this is my duty."
Teacher Keine replied with a smile, her eyes subtly glancing between the two, becoming increasingly puzzled.
It seemed even Miss Alice had just learned the outsider’s name, which was a bit strange? Why so passionate then?
......
...
Buildings in the Human World were generally low, without large high-rise structures.
Even a relatively prestigious family like the Hieda Family only had a larger residence, designed with corridors and courtyards.
The house temporarily assigned to Gu Mo was an ordinary dwelling, but the amenities were pretty good; electric appliances were complete, and daily necessities weren’t lacking... Indeed, the Human World had long been electrified, probably for hundreds of years; the Kappa’s energy was ever abundant, even after extending the grid to Demon Mountain and the underground Old Capital.
