Chapter 260 Renfi And Juci
"Greenhouse and lighthouse?" Hikaru, feeling confused, asked again.
[That's right.]
Hikaru frowned; he felt that these two types of buildings had nothing to do with each other. The Lighthouse was for lighting and protecting the environment, while the greenhouse…
Wait! They seemed to be really related.
[Master, have you noticed?]
Hikaru nodded and said, "That's right. It seems that they are indeed connected. But I want it to have more functions; maybe we should find more types of buildings with similar functions."
At this moment, he remembered Darnag. Yes, Darnag was capable of creating drawings of all kinds of buildings.
Currently, although there were many places under construction, they were just ordinary civil works that Darnag didn't need to monitor.
Hikaru thought that maybe after the afternoon tea he could go to Darnag to ask for some blueprints with similar functions.
He believed that this place would become an orchard covered with tall trees and flowers of all colours, and it would no longer take on a lonely and deadly colour like this world.
[Thinking about Vuni?]
Hikaru nodded and said, "That's right."
[If you're worried about her, you can use the skill to see what she's doing.]
He shook his head and said, "That's no different from peeking; I only use that skill when they're in danger."
"Even though they are the ones I summoned, and even if I knew they wouldn't know that I peeked into their lives, my mentality wouldn't allow it."
"Each of us has our own life. Although I am the one who summoned them, they are also loyal to me, but they also have their own past, family, and problems."
"If Vuni can't solve her problem, she can turn to me. If the distance between me and her is too great for her to speak, then I can only look."
[But you can use the teleport skill to get to her side.]
Hikaru smiled at that: "Hahaha… the distance here… I mean… the distance between two hearts, not the distance in terms of space."
[Ah! I understood. I think Vuni loves you too; it's just that she can't get over her past psychological hurdles.]
Hikaru shook his head: "It's something she has to overcome on her own, so I can't help her."
Hikaru sighed, after all, Vuni was his first woman in this world, so it wouldn't be right to say that there was no love. It was just that they didn't spend a lot of time together, so he didn't know what kind of person Vuni was.
Besides, Vuni was haunted by a bad past, so she couldn't look directly at him. Hikaru knew that everything took time, so he could only wait.
However, he would not wait too long because he himself hated waiting and ambiguity.
Hikaru decided to change the subject and not talk about Vuni anymore: "Can't Tsuraguki come back?"
[She'll be back soon. She has the teleportation skill anyway; besides, thanks to you levelling her up, her power is enough to teleport to any place she's ever seen.]
Hikaru nodded, and he thought to himself that maybe the first afternoon tea at this place would just happen without Vuni.
It's funny; the first woman he had when he came to this world was Vuni, but when he finally accepted her, his first party was missing her.
Hikaru sighed, but he still hoped that Vuni could think carefully and return to the territory to continue accompanying him on his upcoming journey.
…
At this moment, in the city master's kitchen, Nekomaly was preparing dishes for the afternoon tea party.
Behind her, Amia stood, looking serious. Amia was a Half Dark-Elf girl who wore round-rimmed glasses, had short hair, and was about 150 cm tall. She was like a professional secretary as she watched Nekomaly.
Right now, Nekomaly was like a dancer dancing in the kitchen. Even if she didn't look, she knew for sure when to turn off the fire and when to increase the fire.
This was the first time Amia saw the kitchen, and this was also the first time she saw a person cooking. In this world, the kitchen was a luxury, only owned by royalty or extremely wealthy merchants.
Why?
because it was useless.
That's right, in this world there were no vegetables or fruits; the only food for normal people was monster meat, and their kitchen was just a campfire.
Then they grilled the monster meat over the fire without any kitchen utensils nor any seasoning.
The cuisine of this world was extremely bland. Rich people or adventurers use energy potions, so they were not interested in monster meat.
Anyway, the monster's meat could provide energy and fill the stomach, but it also contained a little mist poison that, if eaten too much, would turn people into mist monsters.
Therefore, what is the kitchen used for when everyone does not need it?
Amia had been following Anno since she was a child for more than 40 years. She had also seen the kitchen in the royal palace, but no one seemed to use it.
This was the first time Amia had seen someone using the kitchen, and it was also the first time she had seen someone cooking.
Hikaru's kitchen was fully stocked with all sorts of kitchen utensils, however… Yes, Nekomaly suddenly stopped, she frowned and mumbled: "No seasoning… no sugar and salt…"
Amia now spoke up: "Spices? Sugar? Salt? What is that?"
"Heh?!" Nekomaly was startled, but then she seemed to realise why Amia was asking that. Nekomaly understood what this world was like when she was summoned by Hikaru.
She knew that this world was covered with fog, and that the plants and animals were poisoned. The ground was also poisoned with fog, so it was unable to grow anything, so spices and vegetables were also nonexistent.
Nekomaly's brows were getting tighter and tighter, and at this moment, she felt that just a few cakes would be very difficult to make.
However, she didn't feel sad at all, yes, Nekomaly still smiled confidently; she pushed up her glasses and said: "It's okay, fortunately, the master's pantry is still full of every kind of food."
"Hm?!" Amia perplexedly tilted her head to look at Nekomaly.
Nekomaly didn't explain; she started searching the food storage, then smiled confidently.
Amia felt extremely confused, but she also did not want to disturb Nekomaly, so she just stood still and watched.
…
Back to Tsuraguki, at this time, Renfi was awake, and when she saw Tsuraguki, she was so scared that her face was white, her eyes widened, and she sat on the ground and started crawling backwards.
She even forgot that she was also a strong warrior, a legend that the world talked about. Now, Renfi was just like a weak girl facing a monster.
Tsuraguki, who saw this scene, could only sigh, it was her fault anyway. That's right, she beat Renfi to the point where Renfi lost her human form.
This event haunted Renfi, now, when she sees Tsuraguki, she feels immediate fear, and her senses are also constantly warning her that she will surely die.
Tsuraguki knew that nothing she said could change Renfi's mind. Suddenly, Tsuraguki smiled, thinking in her heart, "No, this is fine. Renfi will be more obedient; I don't need to use the slave contract either."
Tsuraguki approached Renfi.
Renfi saw this in fear and continuously backed away; however, the space that the Misty Lamp lit was limited, and she was already close to that limit.
Renfi said tremblingly: "Don't…don't come near me..."
Tsuraguki smiled, a smile filled with coldness like a demon from hell: "Hahaha… Renfi, from now on if you don't listen to me, I'll let you feel pain like before, so listen clearly?"
Renfi shook her head severally, then Tsuraguki used magic to knock Renfi unconscious. With Tsuraguki's current level and stats, she was able to use magic and manipulate Renfi to her liking.
Tsuraguki picked up Renfi and was about to use her teleportation skill when she frowned. Then she used magic to control the misty lamps lying on the ground to float around her.
At this moment, Rika's voice resounded: [You already possess void energy; the fog has almost no effect on you. Besides, now that you use teleport magic, you can't even come into contact with the fog; what's the point of using a Misty Lamp to protect your surroundings.]
Tsuraguki shook her head with a smile, a smile filled with guilt: "Haizzz, I have an uneasy feeling; I don't want the same thing to happen again."
After that, Tsuraguki immediately disappeared with the misty lamps surrounding her.
…
At Renfi's secret base, this was the place where the members of Renfi's guild lived.
At this time, the guild members calmly guarded and repaired the walls that were broken by Tsuraguki.
Juci Amian also had a headache right now; she was the vice president of the guild. However, she also didn't know what to do.
Juci doesn't know what to do because she doesn't know if Renfi is alive or dead; she only knows that Renfi was kidnapped by someone.
Even though the guild members looked calm, they were also extremely nervous and chaotic.
Juci sighed, feeling extremely hopeless. Who would have thought that the president of a giant, legendary guild of this world, who had fought alone against the 3 kings of the 3 high kingdoms without fail, would be kidnapped by someone else?
If this gets out, I'm afraid the inhabitants of this world will laugh until they lose their teeth.
"Vice President, what should we do now?"
At this moment, a member suddenly spoke up; he stared at Juci, his face full of insecurity. Not only him, but many other people also wore uneasy and expectant faces looking at her.
Juci just sighed; she also wanted to know what she needed to do next. Buchou was missing, and she had even gone missing in the guild's base.
What does she need to do now?
Juci sighed: "Haizz, don't look at me; I don't know what to do either. I'm only in charge of things like accepting quests and dealing with quest givers. Looking for Renfi is now as hard as looking for heaven; I can't do it."
"BAM!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the entire secret headquarters shook as if an earthquake was happening.
Juci and the guild members were all worried, and a thought appeared in their minds: "Could it be that the guild has been ambushed again?"
However, appearing in front of them was Renfi.
Juci: "..."
