Chapter 366 Mahiru’s Long Drought

[finally found you.]

[Really? I thought you'd forgotten about me.]

[Hurry back, the danger over there still needs your help.]

Are they alright?

I won't let anything happen to them easily.

[That's good.]

Xia Sheng felt a sudden dizziness, and when he calmed down, he heard a cacophony of noise and clamor.

It is the sound of the city.

It was a lively and bustling scene.

Xia Sheng opened his eyes, and what came into view was a door—the door to his house.

He went straight home.

His heart began to stir. Inside, he sensed a familiar presence. He couldn't wait to open the door and push it open.

"Who...cousin?!"

"Natsuo!"

A voice rushed over and threw itself into Xia Sheng's arms, hugging him tightly.

Natsumi also held her close, his heart filled with affection. He lowered his head, looked at her tenderly, and said, "Mahiru, I'm back."

Shiina Mahiru tilted her head back, tears welling in her eyes: "Yes, welcome back."

"cousin!"

Yuki Suo also came over at this time, squeezed together with Mahiru Shiina, and hugged Natsuo.

"Yuki." Natsuo hugged both of them.

It feels just right to be back.

He should be where they are.

After a moment of tenderness, Natsumi began to tell the two of them about his experiences over the past few days, including everything about Asada Shino.

"Cousin, you actually went back in time..." Suoh Yuki couldn't help but exclaim in amazement after hearing Natsuo's story.

Although their current experiences are extraordinary and incredible enough, time travel is still too far-fetched.

"You know what happened with Ichika and the others, didn't I tell you before?" Natsumi reminded him.

That's what they say...

'

"So how did you get back?" Shiina Mahiru asked.

She didn't care how Xia Sheng traveled through time; his return was more important than anything else.

"The world brought me back."

"The world..."

'

"After all, He still needs me to protect this world."

"Yeah... I don't know whether I should thank Him or not."

"Then we should definitely thank Him. Without Him, how would I have met you?"

"Is that all you've got?" Shiina Mahiru rolled her eyes at him.

"Yes, meeting you all is the happiest thing for me." Natsuo couldn't help but hug Shiina Mahiru.

Her body, her scent, were both familiar and captivating to him.

"Mmm." Shiina Mahiru also hugged him, a smile playing on her lips.

She was also very fortunate to have met Xia Sheng.

"Cousin... Mahiru-nee..." Suoh Yuki stared at the two of them with a longing look.

She was right next to them, yet these two still ignored her and went off to have their own private time.

That's infuriating.

Is this the difference between women and girls?

"Hehe~ That's it for my business. I'd like to know how things are going for you guys. How many days have I been gone?" Xia Sheng wasn't embarrassed and changed the subject by asking.

"Cousin, you've been gone for five days now."

"Five days?"

Xia Sheng remembered that the day he fought the black dragon was a Sunday, and today is Friday.

"How's the dungeon doing these past few days?" Xia Sheng asked nervously.

"As always," Shiina Mahiru replied with a smile.

"As always? Then wouldn't that mean..."

'

"Don't worry, Ichika and the others are fine. Yukino, Yui, and I are here with them," Shiina Mahiru said cheerfully.

"You don't mean...?"

"Yes, these past few days, Yukino and I have been helping everyone defend against the invaders."

"I see..." Xia Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He was confident in the three's current strength; as long as there were no new intruders, they could easily handle the situation.

Today is likely the beginning of the changes in the dungeon.

In that case, Ichika Nakano and the others are indeed alright.

"Look how nervous you are." Shiina Mahiru glanced at him, slightly jealous.

"You're jealous already?"

"Is that not allowed?"

"Then I'll make it up to you properly."

"How do I make up for it... Huh!" Shiina Mahiru had just asked when Natsuo picked her up in a princess carry.

"Cousin?" Suoh Yuki stared blankly at Natsumi walking towards the door.

Could it be...?

"Yuki, could you stop talking to Yukino and the others for a moment and tell them not to worry anymore?" Natsumi instructed without turning her head.

"And what about you?"

"I'll go help Mahiru calm down her jealousy."

He hadn't eaten meat for several days, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Ugh..." Shiina Mahiru shyly punched his chest. How could she not understand what he meant?

But that was all she did, just a coquettish pout.

Rejection was impossible; she missed him and wanted to communicate her feelings with him in the most direct way.

"

Suoh Yuki sat there blankly, expressionless.

She knew perfectly well what those two were up to.

And this is in broad daylight!

I just got back!

hateful!

But she had no choice and couldn't join in, so she could only obediently inform everyone that Xia Sheng had returned.

These past few days, everyone has been extremely worried. Xia Sheng's disappearance has left everyone feeling lost and listless, as if they have lost all their energy.

It is only because we believe he will come back that we can persevere.

After all, they were certain that he wouldn't hurt or upset them.

When the news of Xia Sheng's return was sent to the group chat, everyone became excited and enthusiastic.

The Nakano quintuplets even came directly to Natsuo's house.

Unfortunately, he is not here.

"Yuki, where's Natsuo?" Nakano Nino grabbed Suo Yuki's shoulder and asked anxiously as soon as she came over.

"Next door..." Suoh Yuki replied unhappily.

"Next door? Mahiru's house?"

"Um."

I'm going to find him.

'

"Wait." Suoh Yuki immediately grabbed her.

"Yuki, what's wrong?"

"You shouldn't go now. Your cousin is having a great time."

"What do you mean?"

"You know, a man and a woman alone in a room, dry wood and raging fire."

"6

Nino Nakano fell silent; she understood.

In that case, it's indeed not appropriate to disturb them.

But he comes back and does this kind of thing right away?

Why not even meet them first!

Is that more important than meeting them first?

She wanted to see just how happy she could be.

The five people waited at Xia Sheng's house for a long time, from afternoon to evening, from dawn to dusk, until late at night.

They had initially thought that Natsumi would stay overnight at Shiina Mahiru's house, but he still came back.

When he returned, he looked refreshed and energetic, which made people angry.

They've been worried for five days, they've been waiting patiently, and this is how you treat them?

"Natsuo..." Nakano Nino pouted, staring at him unhappily.

"Nino, you haven't gone back yet?" Natsuo asked, looking surprised.

He actually knew they had always been there, otherwise he wouldn't have come back.

After a battle, nothing beats the comfort of going straight to sleep.

"I thought you weren't coming back," Nino Nakano said wistfully.

"Sorry, cough cough, I've been a bit busy, just finished..."

'

"Busy until now?"

The five people looked at him with strange expressions.

They know what he's doing, so does that mean he's been fighting all along?

That's intense?

The five of them felt their hearts racing, a mixture of shyness and nervousness.

"Cousin, aren't you worried that Mahiru-nee will get tired?" Suoh Yuki couldn't help but complain.

"She's the one who's dragged me along until now..."

""

"Okay..." Suoh Yuki understood; it was like rain after a long drought.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Aren't you going back?"

"How can we go back without seeing you, Natsuo?" Nakano Nino said, throwing herself into his arms and inhaling his scent.

Thankfully, there was no strange smell; her whole body had a familiar and captivating scent.

She buried her head in his chest, nuzzling against him.

"Nino, you're so cunning! I want some too!" Nakano Nino, disregarding her modesty, squeezed in as well.

"Then I'll come too~" Nakano Ichika said with a smile, moving closer.

"Me too..."

'

Seeing that everyone was crowding over, Nakano Yotsuba had a reason to go.

"What are you doing... Fine, I'll join in your antics." Nakano Satsuki squeezed in with a helpless yet arrogant look.

Xia Sheng was instantly surrounded by five people, squeezed by their softness, as if he had entered paradise.

"You can carry them one by one or in pairs. There are so many of you, how am I supposed to carry them all?"

"Don't push your luck!"
