My two-dimensional resident

"What bad news? Could it be that Reigen Arataka didn't bring me any gold this time? If that's the case, I'll find him right now, beat him up, and then turn his house upside down in his world!"

Upon hearing Kikyo's bad news, Lin Tian's expression changed, and his keen sixth sense immediately realized that the bad news was 90% related to Reigen Arataka.

"That's true. But it's not because he didn't want to give you gold. It's just that... he went bankrupt. He encountered an enemy, and then his disciple's abilities went berserk, destroying all the gold he had earned during that time."

"Don't be angry anymore. I've already taught him a lesson for you. Although I dislike him a bit, he was very sincere in admitting his mistake this time. Why don't you give him another chance?"

Kikyo felt a pang of sympathy for Lin Tian when she saw the displeasure on his face. As the second resident to arrive on the island after Lin Tian, ​​she knew very well why he was so obsessed with bells.

But she also knew that getting angry at Reigen Arataka wouldn't do any good; it wouldn't make him conjure up the missing gold out of thin air. The only thing she could do now was to give Reigen Arataka another chance, let him continue selling apples to make money, and pay off the previous outstanding balance.

As Lin Tian's lover, Kikyo couldn't possibly speak ill of Reigen Arataka to him here, thus exacerbating their conflict. This would be detrimental to Lin Tian and the future development of the adorable Rabbit Island.

To build the adorable Rabbit Island into the ideal world Lin Tian envisioned, they should work together.

Reigen Arataka is in trouble; everyone should help him.

"Sigh... I'm very angry, but you're right, getting angry is useless. It will only cause bad consequences. However, Reigen Arataka still needs to be taught a lesson and made to face reality."

This kind of thing can only happen once; we can't let him have an accident every time we ask him for gold. He clearly knows there are many powerful psychics in his world, so why can't he be a little more discreet?

Lin Tian put the cola in his hand on the table and sighed deeply. He was indeed very angry about Reigen Arataka losing the gold.

But after listening to Kikyo's advice, he realized that getting angry and blaming her was useless, so he could only give Reigen Arataka another chance.

However, after this experience, Lin Tian felt he shouldn't put all his eggs in one basket. It was time to start diversifying his investments.

"Speaking of which, a year has passed in the world of Shinobu Kocho. It's time for Kanae to go back. Their lord still owes me 5 tons of gold."

After thinking about diversifying his investments, Lin Tian suddenly realized that according to the timeline of the Demon Slayer world, a year had passed since he returned to the island, and it was time to send someone over to retrieve the remaining commission from killing Muzan Kibutsuji.

Moreover, by this time of year, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, had almost finished using up that batch of apple juice, and it was time to prepare a new batch to sell to him.

Although the number of apples sold to Kagaya Ubuyashiki is very small, only about ten apples a year, Lin Tian is very optimistic about this long-term cooperation.

If Kagaya Ubuyashiki can open up the global market, his demand for apples won't be limited to ten per year. Then Lin Tian can earn even more money from him.

"Oh, and there's Kikyo's world too. Those exorcists should have used up the apples we left them. It's time to go there..."

Chapter 327 Ilya in a Panic

"Going home? Sure. I'll go back alone. You wait for my good news on the island."

When Kikyo heard Lin Tian say he wanted to return to his own world to make a deal with the demon hunters, she rested her chin on her hands, smiled calmly, and indicated that she could go back and help Lin Tian complete the deal.

Kikyo hadn't seen her younger sister in a long time and wanted to go back and see how she was doing. She was over 50 years old, which was considered a long life in the Warring States period.

If we don't take advantage of her while she's still alive to see her more often, she might have already passed away by the time we want to see her again.

"By the way, the Shikon Jewel I gave you before. Did Isabella give you any reward after you gave it to her?"

After thinking of her sister, Kikyo thought of herself and Lin Tian returning from their own world, and Lin Tian saying that they should see if the Shikon Jewel was of any value to the island.

So Kikyo handed the Shikon Jewel to Lin Tian. After experiencing the difficulties in Erza's world, Kikyo completely forgot about this matter.

If Lin Tian hadn't mentioned trading apples with the demon exorcist, she would have forgotten about it and might not have remembered it for a long time.

"Hmm... I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. Before, when you accompanied Yinliya to Erza's place, I gave the Shikon Jewel to Isabelle, and Isabelle gave me a blind box."

I felt my luck was bad, so I planned to wait for you to come back and help me open it. It's at my house now; let's open it together after dinner. I'm really curious about what's inside the blind box.

If Kikyo hadn't brought it up, Lin Tian wouldn't have remembered it either. After all, he'd been through so much lately, and a small blind box had long been forgotten.

"Oh! I remember now, I forgot to open another box. Do you remember Heracles, Illya's servant?"

Thinking of the blind box he obtained by exchanging the Shikon Jewel, Lin Tian suddenly realized that a long time ago, after he brought Ace and Erza back from the world of Illya, Isabelle had also given him a box.

The box was carved from stone, and on top of it was a relief of Hercules' axe and sword.

At the time, Lin Tian felt regret and sadness that Hercules could not become a cute resident of Rabbit Island and that he sacrificed himself for the final victory, so he did not open Hercules' stone box.

Looking back now, Lin Tian felt it was time to open Hercules's Stone Box and take a look. After all, it was a gift left to him by his old friend. If he didn't take out the contents and just kept the stone box in the house, he would feel guilty for not taking out the contents.

"Really? You didn't mention this to me. Okay, after we finish eating, I'll open the box for you. But let's make it clear, if you don't get what you want, you can't blame me."

No! Whatever I offer, you have to accept it. You can't show any disappointment.

A mischievous glint suddenly flashed across Kikyo's beautiful face. Since Lin Tian had already entrusted her with the right to open the box, she couldn't possibly have any reservations about the items that came out.

"Mmm, I like everything my wife brings out. Hehe~"

Lin Tian chuckled and looked at Yinliya and Artoria walking towards him from a distance. He couldn't help but recall his first experience leaving the island in Yinliya's world.

Perhaps because he was too familiar with the Type-Moon world, he treated himself as a player during the Fourth Holy Grail War.

The style and form are slightly different from reality; it doesn't resemble an island owner who wants to be a lazy bum at all, but rather the demeanor of a high-end player from his previous gaming days.

"loquacious!"

Kikyo let out a soft, sweet laugh, and noticed Yinliya and Artoria walking towards them. Seeing the close relationship between Yinliya and Artoria, she couldn't help but smile.

This is the adorable Rabbit Island that Lin Tian wanted, where the residents live in harmony and are united and friendly.

"Lin Tian, ​​as the island lord, how can you be so lazy? As soon as you get back to the island, you lie here like a salted fish. Sister Kikyo, why don't you do anything about him?"

Yin Liya led Artoria to the square. She saw Lin Tian reclining on a deck chair with a can of cola on the round wooden table next to him, and she said to Lin Tian with dissatisfaction.

"I won't listen! This is just nonsense!"

Lin Tian pretended not to hear Yin Liya's words, shaking his head and turning his gaze to the sunset in the sky. The weather on the adorable Rabbit Island was exceptionally pleasant today, with the western clouds draped in a red wedding gown against the backdrop of the setting sun.

"Oh dear! I have a ton of gold here, it's taking up too much space. What should I do? Maybe I should take it home and buy my parents a new estate..."

Seeing Lin Tian's shamelessness, Yin Liya gritted her teeth in anger and instinctively wanted to argue with him. However, she suddenly remembered Shinobu Kocho's way of handling things, so she turned her crimson eyes and revealed a bright smile.

No anti-theft

"Hmm? Yin Liya. I suddenly realized that as the island owner, it's a huge disappointment for me to be enjoying myself here. My awareness is still too low, and your criticism is absolutely correct."

By the way, while I was processing the new couple's entry procedures, I saw a new public building at Xiao Ke's place—an island water park. I plan to build it in the inner lake on the third floor on the west side for the island's residents to enjoy.

However, I don't have enough Bells right now, and I can't build it. As the most talented and beautiful magical girl on the island, Miss Illya, would you like to contribute some Bells?

Upon hearing that Yin Liya actually had a ton of gold, Lin Tian seemed like a completely different person. He immediately stood up and went to Yin Liya, telling her about the water park facilities he had seen in the public facilities construction project section of Xiao Ke's document when he was processing Ai Haibara's entry procedures to the island.

'No matter where she got this gold from, as long as she brings it to this island, we can't let her take it away!'

At this moment, Lin Tian seemed to be possessed by the three spirits of Xiao Ke, Xiao Dou, and Xiao Li, staring nakedly at Yin Liya's gold.

"As the island owner, how come you're so poor?"

Yin Liya wasn't fooled by Lin Tian's excuse. She curled her lip, crossed her arms, and sneered at Lin Tian with disdain.

'Hmph, finally you've given in. As expected, I, Magical Girl Yinliya, am the ultimate victor. Little Lin Tian, ​​you've finally met your match. Hmph~'

Every time Yin Liya argued with Lin Tian, ​​she was the one who lost. Now, seeing Lin Tian actually backing down for the sake of gold, Yin Liya was so happy she wanted to laugh out loud.

"Ugh... I'm suffering. Building any public facilities on the island costs money, and I have to pay for the registration fees for newcomers myself..."

I've been scrimping and saving to make it easier for everyone to travel. But those facilities are just too expensive. All the Bells I earned went to that wicked terracotta warrior.

Now even buying a bottle of Coke requires Kikyo to pay. Sigh~

Lin Tian sighed, looked up at the western clouds at a 45-degree angle, his face filled with sorrow and bitterness.

"Alright, alright. Here you go. Let me make this clear first, this ton of gold is our island entry fee. Don't say we didn't give you Bells later."

Seeing Lin Tian so sad made Yin Liya feel great, even though she guessed that Lin Tian was just putting on an act for her.

But... how should I put it, she just liked this kind of thing, liked that Lin Tian didn't have that confident, arrogant, and all-powerful demeanor in front of her.

She took out the ton of gold from her spatial backpack and placed it in front of Lin Tian. Then, she played with her hair and said to Lin Tian in a haughty manner.

When she left the island, she didn't give Lin Tian the 30 bells she earned on the island. The reason was that she spent all the bells she earned on the island on buying all sorts of fluffy toys.

Now that she had the gold, she felt it was better to return the money to Lin Tian. After all, he had risked everything to go to Erza's world to rescue her and Kikyo Erza, all for her sake.

Although she often bickers with Lin Tian, ​​she is not an ignorant and domineering girl when it comes to matters of principle.

"Then I'll accept it, but I have good news and bad news to tell you."

The instant the gold appeared before him, Lin Tian swung his arm and stored the ton of gold into his spatial backpack at lightning speed. Then, he resumed his usual lazy demeanor and looked at Yin Liya with a mysterious smile.

"What good news, and what bad news?"

Seeing Lin Tian revert to that expression that made you want to tickle him, Yin Liya frowned and asked in confusion.

"The good news is that Artoria has already given me her share of the island entry fee. The bad news is that I won't return the Bells to you for the gold you gave me."

"Ugh! That awful Lin Tian! Sister Kikyo, Lin Tian bullied me!"

When Yin Liya heard that Lin Tian had actually pocketed a sum of her Bells, she was furious. Her crimson eyes blazed with anger, and a tuft of hair on her head shot straight up into the sky.

Seeing Lin Tian's smug look, Yin Liya turned to look at Kikyo, who was setting the table with Artoria.

"I'd better not get involved in your affairs."

Kikyo put down the white porcelain plate in her hand, looked up at Lin Tian and Yin Liya, and said with a light laugh. She was already used to these two lively pairs arguing as soon as they met.

Mediate between the two? Forget it.

Kikyo had tried before. During that time, Kikyo put in a lot of effort to help Lin Tian and Yin Liya get along peacefully. But it didn't work; the two of them remained the same as always whenever they met.

So she chose to give up, and the feeling of being an outsider watching the show is pretty good.

"Hmph, even you, Kikyo-neechan, are on Lin Tian's side. Artoria, Lin Tian is bullying me, you have to help me!"

Seeing that Kikyo wasn't helping her, Yinliya looked like she was about to cry and turned her gaze to Artoria, who was holding a plate of shredded pork with garlic sauce.

"Ah! I can no longer beat Lin Tian. Yin Liya, if you want revenge, you'd better become stronger."

Alto placed the shredded pork with garlic sauce on the table, glanced at Lin Tian, ​​and then shook his head at Yin Liya.

In Erza's world, after Lin Tian rescued her and her companions, she sensed that Lin Tian's strength had become even greater than hers.

Previously, when Lin Tian bullied Yin Liya, she could fight Lin Tian to avenge Yin Liya. Now that she is no stronger than Lin Tian, ​​she is powerless to do anything.

After giving Yinliya an apologetic look, Artoria went back into the service hall to help Xiao Ke and the others put the remaining food on the table.

"What? One by one. Lin Tian, ​​I admit defeat this time. Hmph, I'll settle the score with you when I come back from my next vacation."

Seeing that even Artoria couldn't help her vent her anger, Yinliya turned to look at Lin Tian, ​​snorted coldly, and said threateningly.

A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years. Although Yin Liya is not a gentleman, she is patient and believes that one day she will be able to defeat Lin Tian.

"Oh, I remember now, you came to the island this time because you're on summer vacation, right? I'm sorry, I have some bad news for you."
