Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 403 Rest at the Hotel

With the dust demon completely subdued, Li Fei Hua Yue reverted to her holy armor transformation and collapsed weakly. Lunia, who was closest to her, quickly caught her.

Di Xing had wanted to go too, but as soon as he took a step, he collapsed forward due to exhaustion of his spirit power. Xia Lu, who was behind him, quickly grabbed him.

"That was awesome, Jingxia! We're so happy with the scare!" A long cheer erupted in Jingxia's live stream.

"Hehe, right? I told you following Jing Xia would be the right choice!" Jing Xia said with a slightly embarrassed laugh, after all, she hadn't done anything this time.

"Let's find a place to rest quickly," said Di Xing, who was exhausted and somewhat weak from depleting his spiritual energy. Today had truly worn him out.

As the group walked out of the factory, they saw that it was already late at night.

"Ah Xiao, let's go to your house," Di Xing said, thinking that this place was the closest to Ai Xiao's house.

"You can't come to my house," Ai Xiao said with a long face. "Unless you want to be severely interrogated by my brother."

Di Xing thought of his future brother-in-law—no, Captain Ace's stern face—and said, "Then, let's find a hotel."

"Okay!" Ai Xiao opened her terminal and checked, "There's a hotel very close by."

"Let's go then," Jingxia said happily.

"Huh? What are you doing following us?"

"Aren't we all comrades-in-arms fighting side by side?" Jing Xia tried to act cute.

"All I remember is you biting me," Di Xing retorted mercilessly. "And why don't you just go back to your own home?"

"It's so dark already," said the pitiful girl in summer clothes. "How can you bear to let such a beautiful and pretty anchor like me walk home alone at night? What if I encounter danger?"

"Aren't you a vampire? Why are you afraid of ghosts?"

"I'm not afraid of ghosts, because they didn't harm me in the slightest. I'm only afraid of people..."

"Stop!" Di Xing hurriedly stopped Jing Xia from singing awkwardly.

"Fine, I give up. Come with us, but at least tell me who you are." This girl still hasn't properly introduced herself.

"Hello, I'm Jing Xia, the vampire streamer destined to be world-famous!" Jing Xia flashed a V-sign with her eyes, looking incredibly energetic.

"Stop acting cute. So, if you're a freelancer, where do you live?"

Jing Xia, who was teased about "District 12, Number 60," immediately wilted. It was too late, and everyone in the livestream room had gone to rest, so revealing her address wasn't a problem. However, the fact that no one was in the livestream room was one of the reasons she was hesitant to go home alone.

"1260? Good grief, even the house number is a vampire number! How much do you like vampires?"

"You know the number of vampires!?"

"Don't change the subject, what's your age?"

"Asking a girl's age is very impolite!" Jing Xia protested, showing her two little tiger teeth.

Looking at her, Di Xing realized she was clearly a little girl who loved cosplaying as a vampire; hmm, quite cute.

"That's settled then, let's go."

The group arrived at the inn, but because it was so late, only one double room was left.

To Jing Xia's surprise, Di Xing and his companions took the room without the slightest hesitation.

Di Xing turned to Jing Xia and said, "You see, it's just this one room. We've been through a lot together, so we don't mind. You should go back to your own home."

"You've been through a lot???" Jing Xia's fair face immediately flushed red.

However, her gossipy nature as a streamer and a girl led her to raise her live streaming terminal and confront Di Xing.

Have you and they all grown up?

"What are you saying?" Di Xing angrily tried to tap her on the head, but she nimbly dodged it.

"I mean, we've been through many life-or-death battles together, and we have absolute trust in each other."

"Oh, I see." Jing Xia suddenly felt a little bored. She then looked at Xia Lu, who seemed rather reserved. This younger girl had clearly only recently joined the team.

"You don't mind?"

“Mr. Di Xing saved me from hell, I believe him.”

"Then I believe you too," Jing Xia said, smiling sweetly at Di Xing, revealing her cute tiger teeth.

When Di Xing saw that her cute little tiger teeth were still stained with his blood, he immediately retorted, "But I don't believe you!"

But since a girl has said that, we can't just kick her out.

Di Xing and the others entered the large room. Li Fei and Hua Yue took out a blanket from their large trunk and spread it on the floor for Di Xing.

The girls happily squeezed onto the bed.

Wow, Xia Lu, you're really something!

"Miss Ai, please don't do this."

"Didn't I already tell you to call me Ah Xiao?"

"Okay, Ah, Ah Xiao."

“Your hair is so soft,” Lunya said happily, stroking Charlotte’s blonde hair. “As expected of the young lady from Raven Shovka. Back when I was on the third floor, I loved buying your leather gun holsters. They were cheap and sturdy.”

"Thank you, thank you for crossing the river," Xia Lu said nervously, biting her tongue.

"Hehe, I hope your family can make a comeback, then I'll buy your gun holster again... Wow, Hanazuki-chan, what are you doing?"

"Look at the size! Lulu, you've really grown up secretly without us knowing!"

Upon hearing this, Ai Xiao's eyes instantly turned into cat eyes, and she immediately jumped onto Lunya, reaching out her groping hands.

"Wow, it really has gotten bigger!"

"No, no, it must be your imagination."

"I...I saw Miss Lunya secretly drinking milk that night."

"I...I did that to improve my eyesight!"

"Milk doesn't have those effects! Drinking too much milk will just turn you into a dairy cow!" Jing Xia joined in the girls' banter.

Lying on the ground with a blade of grass he'd plucked from who-knows-where in his mouth, Di Xing only found their noise bothersome. Amidst the laughter and chatter, everyone quickly drifted off to sleep.

The only sound in the room was the reassuring creaking of the old-fashioned ceiling fan.

When everyone was fast asleep, Xia tiptoed out of bed and looked at Di Xing's drooling sleeping face. She remembered what he'd said about her being socially awkward.

"Seriously, you'd become socially awkward if you lived alone for hundreds of years."

She gently picked up the foxtail grass from near Di Xing's mouth and waved it under his nose.

Di Xing, still half asleep, sneezed several times, making Jing Xia giggle. However, at that moment, feeling hot because the fan wasn't blowing on him, Di Xing rolled over, his hand accidentally touching Jing Xia's icy little feet.

Feeling like he'd grabbed a block of ice, Di Xing immediately pulled her close and hugged her.

Jing Xia was truly terrified this time, but she dared not make a sound, twisting and turning as she tried to break free from Di Xing's embrace.

But how could Di Xing let his hard-won summer-cooling treasure escape? So he hugged it even tighter. Realizing that his actions were only having the opposite effect, Jing Xia had no choice but to give up struggling.

Moreover, the necromantic aura emanating from Di Xing, just like hers, made her feel extremely comfortable, while the warmth of a living person both filled her with envy and intoxication.

So, is that why I don't feel socially awkward around him?

Jingxia had tried organizing offline fan meetups, but even though she could chat happily with them online, she still experienced a severe social anxiety attack when she met them in person.

This Di Xing was the first human I could communicate with normally without the help of live streaming. It might be because of the death aura around him, but more likely it's because he's too shameless. Hmm, the more I think about it, the more likely that is. Well, it could also be...

Although he himself was hiding many secrets, the boy was also hiding quite a few, and it seemed he was unaware of it.

Lost in thought, Jingxia soon drifted off to sleep.
