Kisaragi's Long-Strange Collection Notes

The two sisters chatted for a long time in the office.

Mian Ruyan was persuaded.

But Chen Meimei was not convinced.

No matter how much Mian Ruyan pestered him, his attitude remained the same: the [Moon Phase Cheese] was his legitimate property, and he had no chance of taking it back.

Mian Ruyan didn't come away empty-handed; at least she knew that Chen Meimei hadn't actually eaten it.

Only after receiving Chen Meimei's assurance that she "would never eat it" did they temporarily give up.

Chen Meimei was somewhat surprised by Mian Ruyan's reaction.

It's clear that she didn't know the truth about the [Moon Phase Cheese] when it was auctioned, but she should know it now.

Chen Meimei doesn't really want to concern herself with [archaeologist] Vera, the auction house, Mian Ruyan, and the hidden side effects of the mysterious items associated with them for the time being.

This has nothing to do with him. The other party is currently treating him well and is even worried that he might get sick from eating the wrong things. Since that's the case, he won't meddle and make enemies.

At night, the frosty moon hung in the sky, and the temperature plummeted.

[Silver Moon Garden] sent a message saying that they will be holding a Frost Moon Gathering tonight at 20 PM.

Chen Meimei arrived right on time.

Sitting on her little moon, Chen Meimei realized that two people were missing.

The first seat is held by Keyuan, the Gardener, and the teacher is Fuxiao, the Wind Maiden.

After getting used to seeing the Rubik's Cube-shaped head of the club president, I actually find it kind of cute.

"Two people have taken leave this time. Keyuan is refining materials in preparation for a breakthrough, and Fuxiao is on a mission."

Chen Meimei frowned slightly.

Teacher Fuxiao wasn't on a mission at all; he was clearly recuperating at home after losing his eye. So why did the club president give a fake reason?

"Now, I have something to announce."

Starting next week, the entire city of Sixiang may face external enemies, and the probability of battles occurring while patrolling the streets will greatly increase.

Those below the fourth rank are temporarily suspended from patrolling the streets.

Upon hearing this, Chen Meimei immediately perked up.

This is good news; he and tide can both rest at home now.

Before he could even be happy for two seconds...

Fina didn't let him off the hook.

"Except for Chen Meimei, Chen Meimei will also be included in the night patrol team."

Chen Meimei immediately protested loudly: "That's not fair! I'm only level 2. You, the club president, are pulling strings. You must be unhappy that I want to be the club president and are making things difficult for me."

The scene was deserted, and no one offered him any support.

Everyone in the society has witnessed Chen Meimei's [immortality], as well as her terrifying resistance to anomalies and mutations.

It's safe to say that if the entire society were to perish in the end, Chen Meimei would be the one who survives.

To think you can escape the street patrol like that is simply wishful thinking.

After her protests went unanswered, Chen Meimei, feeling utterly isolated, lay on her little moon with a look of utter despair.

"Okay, then who should I team up with temporarily?"

Fina's Rubik's Cube-like head turned slightly: "Dawn is currently vacant, so you'll be paired with Cassan."

Chen Meimei has recovered somewhat, and being with her master's wife is barely acceptable.

My temporary team-up with Cassan is for next week; this week, my partner will remain tide.

Tonight is their turn to patrol the streets.

Walking down the street, Chen Meimei was sullen.

"What's wrong?" tide asked softly.

"You're on paid leave next week, but I have to work overtime."

"Paid leave? We don't get paid in the first place."

Chen Meimei almost jumped up: "What! No salary? So you come here every day to work for free?"

He actually thought it was a permanent, secure job.

"Are you short on time? I can help you with some."

"How much is one point?"

"500?"

"You really are a rich woman; 500 years is nothing to you."

"It's alright, it's only about two or three months' worth of my income."

"You, tide, you've managed to beautify taking money from home as 'income'. You're really something."

"No, I earned this myself. I have a side hustle."

"What's your side hustle? Selling paintings?"

"No, my paintings are all unfinished and cannot be sold."

"What other talents do you have?"

"I am the deputy captain of the city's fire brigade, and I occasionally take on some calculation-related work."

"My apologies, Captain Xi, you are truly multi-talented, one in a hundred."

"This is nothing special. In fact, every mystic has a side job. The side job is used to earn time, while the main job is to become stronger and fight."

Chen Meimei thought about it and realized that it seemed to be true.

Old Jiang is an appraiser, Vera is an archaeologist, and his wife Cassan is actually a dancer. It seems that in everyone's lives, besides exploring the [mystery], there are many other things to do.

After the street patrol, tide drove home by herself.

Chen Meimei went to Fuxiao's house.

Cassandra opened the door again.

"Meow? What are you doing so late?"

"I've come to see the teacher."

"Come in quickly."

Chen Meimei came to Fuxiao's bedside. All the bandages on her body had disappeared, leaving only a small patch over her eyes.

"Teacher, I'm here! How was your rest?"

Fuxiao spoke with a strong voice: "It's alright, I'm gradually getting used to it, and I can move around on my own without any problems."

The sudden loss of sight to a person is undoubtedly catastrophic.

It's easy for Fuxiao to say, but in reality, she can only move around indoors.

She released the wind, which swirled wildly around the room. Only by relying on the feedback from the wind and her familiarity with the furnishings could she move around freely.

The price was that all the light and small items in the house had to be put away, otherwise they would be blown away by the wind.

Chen Meimei didn't come empty-handed.

He took a robe out of his backpack.

"Teacher, this is the finished Moonlight Robe I knitted, specially made to fit your body shape."

She couldn't see it at dawn, so she reached out and touched it.

The fabric has a wonderful feel to it.

It feels like flowing sand covering your fingertips, very comfortable.

"That's so thoughtful, it's a pity I can't see it. The moonlight on the clothes must be beautiful."

Dawn couldn't see it, but Cassan could see it clearly.

She was slightly puzzled: "Dawn worships the Frost Moon, so how come this garment... is entirely woven from yellow light?"

Hearing Cassan's words, Dawn tilted her head in question. She remembered that Chen Meimei had said before that she would knit a white Frost Moon Robe for her.

Chen Meimei hesitated for a few seconds:

"Who knows what the future holds? I have a feeling that Teacher and Hengyue have a special connection."
