She pointed to her quiet face, trying to make Huihui remember the past. With teary eyes, she looked at Huihui and continued, "Hey, Huihui, it's me! Have you really forgotten me? Think back carefully. Whether it was the exams at school or anything else, I always challenged you. And every time you said that challenges come with a price, and that you would accept if I was willing to use my lunch as a wager! You often used this trick to steal my lunch!"
Everyone's gaze shifted from Youyou to Huihui.
His eyes seemed to be asking: So you've done things like this before?
Huihui felt a little guilty under everyone's gaze, and she looked away, not daring to meet their eyes.
Luo Ya bluntly said what everyone wanted to say: "So you've done this kind of thing before."
Standing outside, Youyou seemed to want to reveal more about her past so that Huihui could remember it more quickly.
This time, Huihui didn't let Youyou continue. Instead, she opened the door and shoved Youyou from behind, trying to drive her out. Huihui said anxiously, "Oh, is that so? It's Youyou. Okay, I understand. May you leave now?"
"Huh?" Youyou was pushed out by the girl, seemingly finding it all very unbelievable.
They were good friends who used to play together. Although Huihui had largely treated them as long-term meal tickets, most people wouldn't kick someone out like that, right?
However, the Crimson Demon girl in front of me did exactly that.
Even Luo Ya, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed Huihui's collar and lifted the little girl up with a little force.
Luo Ya rubbed his temples and said, "Since we're friends, isn't it a bit inappropriate to do this?"
However, Huihui turned around and adjusted her posture so that she could look up and see Luo Ya. The little girl looked up and, although being held by Luo Ya, said in a very serious tone, "Luo Ya, she's a lot of trouble. Are you sure you want to meddle?"
After spending so many days together, we know each other's true character perfectly well.
Luo Ya is definitely the kind of person who hates trouble the most. He will try to avoid any troublesome things, and will only solve them if he really can't avoid them.
But this time, he actually had ulterior motives and was meddling in other people's business.
It's most likely a scam.
Hearing their conversation, Youyou immediately became unhappy. She pouted and said unhappily, "What do you mean I'm a hassle? It was clearly an agreement we all made together."
Luo Ya lifted Huihui up, holding her like that. Contrary to Huihui's expectations, the boy actually smiled at this moment. He said calmly, "She's a troublesome matter for you, but what does your trouble have to do with me? Isn't that right?"
Upon hearing this, Huihui instantly understood what Luo Ya meant; this was an attitude of enjoying the drama.
"Roya, you have ill intentions!"
The little girl stretched out her hands, clenched her fists, and gestured as if she was about to punch this ugly face. However, Luo Ya let go of her hands without expression. Huihui landed with a thud, her buttocks making intimate contact with the ground. Huihui covered her buttocks and screamed in pain.
"You bastard Roya, you just wait!" Huihui glared at Roya fiercely and said angrily.
However, Luo Ya completely ignored Hui Hui's intentions. Luo Ya walked up to You You with a smile, patted the girl's shoulder affectionately, and said to her, "Since you're here, why don't you come and sit in the living room?"
"Ah, okay, thank you." Youyou bowed to Luo Ya to express her gratitude.
With Huihui looking displeased, Luo Ya led Youyou to the living room.
The living room was spacious, and a blue fish was lying on the sofa in the middle. Luo Ya glanced at it and said speechlessly, "How many times have I told you? It's very impolite of you to lie like that. Look at you, where is your goddess demeanor?"
Aqua waved her hand and said, "Anyway, you've never believed I'm a goddess, have you?"
Then, still lying on the sofa like a lazy bum, Roya walked up to Aqua expressionlessly, reached out and pulled her up, saying seriously, "You, if you want to lie down, go lie down in your room. We have guests today."
"Let go, Roya, you're hurting me." Aqua tried to pry Roya's hand off, but to little avail. Roya had no intention of letting Aqua off so easily.
"I'll let go if you sit still, otherwise you can go out and sleep on the streets."
"Okay, okay, really."
Aqua reluctantly sat up straight, muttering a few more words under her breath, and casually said, "Who is it? Who would be so stupid as to come to our house as a guest?"
Roya corrected Aqua's slip of the tongue, but the boy remained expressionless and said, "This is my house, not our house."
Aqua pretended not to hear and looked at the girl sitting in the chair. She picked her nose without any regard for her image. Aqua stared at her for a while until Yuu felt very nervous and then looked away.
Aqua said to Megumin beside her, "You're one of our people, aren't you? Look at your clothes and appearance."
Huihui nodded without saying anything, and seemed to be sulking.
Aqua pointed to the sofa and, adopting the air of the hostess, said, "Sit down."
"Ah... Oh." Youyou sat on the chair somewhat nervously.
Seeing Yuu's behavior, Aqua rolled her eyes, then coughed lightly and said, "Since she's Megumin's friend, she should naturally be treated like a guest, Kazuma!"
Kazuma, who had been standing to the side, walked over and looked at Aqua. His face was cold as he asked, "What do you want to do?"
Aqua patted Kazuma's bottom and shrugged, saying, "Aren't you going to serve the guests tea?"
"If you want to do it, you do it. Why should I do it?"
Kazuma said that, but he still obediently went to make tea.
Yu-Yu was a little uneasy, but she still forced herself to thank Aqua.
Aqua glanced at Yu-Yu, her eyes narrowing slightly. She propped herself up, extended a hand towards Yu-Yu, and said with a smile, "Since you're Megumin's friend, you must have brought some kind of gift for this visit, right?"
"Ah, a greeting gift? I don't actually expect to be invited to your residence," Youyou said somewhat embarrassedly.
Aqua responded with an "oh," and the shameless goddess continued, "In that case, giving it to Eris is fine too. You must have money, so just give me a few hundred thousand or a few million."
"Oh, oh." Yu-Yu started taking money out of her pocket, and when Aqua saw that Yu-Yu was really going to take out money, her eyes lit up instantly.
Roja grabbed Aqua's braid and pulled it back. His calm expression finally crumbled. Roja reached out and tapped Aqua on the forehead, asking fiercely, "What on earth are you thinking?"
"Lord Roya, Lord Roya, my hair is going to be pulled off! Please stop pulling like that! Lord Roya, please let me go, I know I was wrong." Aqua started crying and begging for mercy. Only then did Roya release her grip, his face once again displaying a gentle smile. He glanced at Yuu, who was slowly retreating, seemingly frightened by Roya's actions.
Luo Ya coughed a few times and said to Youyou, "Actually, I'm usually very easy to talk to."
"Uh, I can't tell at all."
"Is that so? Maybe you haven't spent enough time with me. If you had more time, you would have realized that I am a very gentle person."
"Gentle?" Youyou repeated somewhat uncertainly, recalling when Luo Ya pulled Aqua's hair earlier, it didn't seem to fit the gentle description at all.
“Yes, in this situation, it’s already quite kind of me to take in this good-for-nothing,” Roya said without changing his expression.
Anyone else would have kicked all these good-for-nothings out long ago.
Youyou chuckled dryly, her expression somewhat stiff.
Huihui, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly spoke up: "So, what brings you here this time?"
At this, Youyou instantly became excited. The girl clenched her fists and shouted at Huihui, "I've learned advanced magic as promised to you. Next, I'll defeat you and claim the throne of the Crimson Demon Clan. That way, when I become the clan leader, no one will have any complaints. I won't let anyone say that I'm just someone who relies on my family background! Come on, Huihui, let's have a showdown!"
Huihui immediately replied, "I don't want to."
"Huh?" Youyou froze at that moment, her movements stopped, and she looked at Huihui in shock, as if she was still a little dazed.
Huihui said matter-of-factly, "Why should I have a duel with you? It's too much trouble. Don't bother me with troublesome things."
Upon hearing this, Youyou lunged at Huihui, grabbing her as she prepared to run away, and said, "Wait, wait a minute! Hey, why? We haven't seen each other for so long, why are you being so cold to me? Huihui, please, let's have a showdown!"
The five people in the living room exchanged glances. Luo Ya scratched his head, but didn't say anything. Instead, he chose to stand aside and watch the show silently.
This has nothing to do with him; he just needs to stand by.
Huihui turned her head and gave Luo Ya a death stare, looking at him with a resentful expression.
The girl's eyes seemed to be asking Roya: Look what you've done!
Huihui pushed Youyou away with a look of disgust, turned her head around, and stared directly at her childhood playmate.
Huihui said seriously, "Let's forget about today, maybe next time. You didn't come here just to duel with me, did you?"
Chapter 330 New Challenges
Youyou hesitated for a moment, but then she saw that all six people on the field were looking at her. The girl realized that she had just lost her composure, and her face turned red. She took a few steps back, sat obediently on the sofa, lowered her head, and dared not look up at anyone.
"She's quite an interesting young girl," Luo Ya commented.
"He doesn't seem like a bad person." Alice nodded slightly.
Huihui sighed, sat down in the chair, and stared blankly at the pendant above the living room with her red eyes, her expression becoming even more lifeless.
Huihui slowly said, "That's right, her name is Youyou. She is the daughter of the Crimson Demon Clan's patriarch and will inherit the patriarch's position in the future. At the same time, she also claimed to be my rival during our school days. Back then, I didn't have money for food, so I often tricked her into giving me her bento. But it was from that time that she started to pester me."
"By the way, this girl is quite withdrawn, even at school, she was all alone."
All eyes turned to Youyou again. Youyou quickly waved her hand, her face slightly flushed. The girl said nervously, "No, don't say that. I actually have friends. Look, Huihui, aren't you my best friend?"
Everyone looked on with sudden realization, and now they looked at Youyou with pity.
"Don't look at me like that, I really do have friends." Youyou felt everyone's gaze was strange, her face flushed, and she tried to argue again.
Alice came up to Youyou, patted her on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Yes, yes, you have friends, I know."
Despite being only twelve or thirteen years old, she acted like an adult, which made Youyou feel even more embarrassed.
Aqua pointed at Yuuyu and said, "He's just like Kazuma, that NEET."
Kazuma Sato turned around, grabbed Aqua's collar, and said somewhat angrily, "You, that's very rude of you."
At this moment, Luo Ya suddenly spoke up: "Does Youyou want to join our team? If I'm not mistaken, you don't have a team yet, right?"
However, at this moment, two voices rang out.
"no!"
"really?"
The two voices are Huihui's and Youyou's voices, respectively.
