Knowing that he was coming directly to the cave entrance leading to the village, Riku took a half-dead "horse" and directly brought Wu Ming and Shuvi into the cave.
Along the way, Riku kept rebuking Wu Ming and Shuvi.
"You have to remember not to say extravagant words to make everyone suspicious, and also, Vero, you have to take care of Shuvi, and you can't let her run around and also if people greet you, you have to answer politely…"
"Riku, I really doubt that you think of me as a god who doesn't understand the world…" Wu Ming complained helplessly.
"Uh...cough, I'm just worried, ahahaha..." Riku smiled awkwardly.
You are not a stupid god, you are a trouble god.
Immediately after, Riku stopped, with Wu Ming and Shuvi following behind Riku.
In front of them was a dilapidated door, and the huge underground cave inside the door was Riku's village, which Wu Ming discovered during his observation.
"Come on, Vero, Shuvi."
With that said, Riku pushed the shabby wooden door open.
*Squeak-*
With the sound of an old wooden door, a cave scene appeared in front of Wu Ming and Shuvi.
"Riku!"
It was still the voice that Wu Ming heard before, the woman named Couronne, Riku's sister, jumped into Riku's arms, hugged Riku tightly, and shouted Riku's name anxiously.
"Alright, Couronne, I'm fine…" Riku comforted his sister and was in a hurry.
Since he went alone, and there was no one else to look after each other, what was more worrying?
Wu Ming saw that Couronne was very worried this time, and was more worried than before.
The others only saw Riku and the others at their respective jobs, but they were more curious about Wu Ming and Shuvi.
"You said you would be called big sister, eh? Who are the two people behind you?" At this moment, Couronne noticed two people behind Riku.
"Ah…they, I met the homeless on my way home. Their village was destroyed, so I brought them back."
Following Riku's words, Wu Ming took off his brown hood and looked at Couronne with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Vero, Vero Silence, this is my sister, Shuvi Silence, nice to meet you."
By the way, because the immaculate pure black robe looked too flashy, Wu Ming had purposely changed his and Shuvi's robes into robes befitting a "refugee" status.
"Brothers and sisters? That's good." Couronne said enviously, seeing that Shuvi was so "dependent" on her brother.
And after that, Shuvi also spoke up.
"…Please…Please give me more advice…" By the way, Shuvi pulled up his hood, which was very wide due to his stature, and hid behind Wu Ming.
"Wow! What's with this kid! Very funny!!" Couronne immediately hugged Shuvi, rubbing and rubbing.
This surprised Riku for a while.
What Wu Ming applied was the blindfold technique, which could only make Shuvi change in human eyes, meaning his body did not change.
But luckily, Shuvi's body was based on human standards, and Shuvi was ordered by Wu Ming to purposely get rid of those mechanical items, wings, rings on top of his head, etc., so there was no need to worry about being found.
Shuvi couldn't understand Couronne's behavior, and saw that Wu Ming had no instructions, so she was hugged by Couronne.
And Couronne treated Shuvi as a shy child, so she didn't care.
"That, Couronne, you can help Vero and him sister prepare the room." Riku said nervously, for fear that Ex-Machina would think of Couronne as an enemy attack to counterattack.
Frankly, Riku was still very worried about Shuvi, an Ex-Machina. He agrees to let Shuvi join here as he doesn't have Wu Ming. Otherwise, how could Riku allow an Ex-Machina to join the village because of sheer chess?
But Riku forgot one thing, if there was no Wu Ming, Shuvi would likely threaten Riku, and then play a game with her when Riku disagreed, and the result would not change.
"Oh, that's what I said. It's almost night now. If you don't hurry up, Vero and Shuvi won't have a place to sleep."
Saying that, Couronne quickly let go of Shuvi, ready to help Wu Ming and Shuvi clean the room.
"There's a utility room next to me, and there's a bed. It can be used after tidying up a bit," said Riku suddenly.
"Ah? It does not matter? In that case, where are the collected materials?" she asked.
It seemed that the utility room wasn't an ordinary utility room, it had to be information that Riku had been gathering all the time. Wu Ming thought.
"Put those materials in my room, right, I need to study them today." As if thinking of something, Riku showed a warlike smile.
"Riku..." Couronne was taken aback after seeing Riku's smile. It had been a long time since she had seen Riku smile.
"What is it?" Seeing Couronne stunned, Riku threw away his smile and looked at Couronne suspiciously.
Then, Couronne walked up to Riku step by step, stretched out two hands, touched Riku's face, and then...
Pinch hard.
"Sick-!" Riku was frightened by Couronne's sudden attack, and the attack of pinching his sister's face was no ordinary pain.
"Say! Are you someone else pretending to be Riku, and bring my sister back!" Couronne looked at Riku playfully.
What Riku didn't know yet, it was just a sudden joke from Couronne.
"I admit defeat, I admit defeat, sister." Riku folded his arms and begged for mercy.
"Hum hum~ that's not enough." Couronne increased her strength.
"Sick--! Vero, please!"
Wu Ming, on the other hand, folded his arms across his chest, watching the couple's jokes with interest.
A few minutes later, in Riku's room.
The originally tidy room was filled with various scrolls of documents, and the room was full.
This was the "mess" Couronne brought from the next room, and now Couronne was still cleaning the next room.
Riku rubbed his cheeks and studied the map in front of him very sadly.
"Big sister is really interesting." Wu Ming, who was sitting on the bed, said with a smile.
"Well~ Big sister, she hasn't been happy for a long time, and the pain is worth it."
Riku now also understood that Couronne became like that after seeing him smile.
Although Couronne was usually seen smiling, her heart was already worried about her relative, Riku.
The reason why Riku spoiled Couronne was because he blamed himself for showing his bad face to his family.
"If only my big sister could keep doing this." Riku smiled.
"It's up to you, Riku, as long as you are always happy, your big sister will be happy too." On Wu Ming's bed, he said boredly.
Shuvi was sitting beside Wu Ming, doing nothing else.
"Well~ that's what I said, then, let's talk about business, god," Riku said firmly.
