Star Rail, My Little Shop on the Train 106
Chapter 106, Hutao: Asmodeus is Coming Home with Me
Bru ate the experience capsule.
In an instant, Bru’s entire body was enveloped in a white light, and his body began to change.
A few minutes later, a sprite very similar in appearance to Bru appeared before Eula.
“Bru~ Bru~”
Bru completed his evolution and transformed into Brook.
Brook stretched out a small hand to hug Eula, tilting his head and looking at Eula with a cheerful smile. A brilliant blue sapphire had appeared on his head. Eula stroked the little guy’s head.
Ye Yun said, “This is Bru’s evolved form, Brook. Alright, is there anything else you need? If not, I’m going to rest.”
Several women shook their heads.
Seeing this, Ye Yun turned and walked towards his room.
Meanwhile, Star, March 7th, and Eula went to the sofa lounge area to rest.
Star, as always, sat directly on her dedicated sofa, the “garbage can” sofa.
Lying on the sofa, watching Brook playing with Eula, an idea suddenly flashed through Star’s mind.
“What if we hold a sprite competition?”
Hutao shook her head. “I don’t think so, because I don’t have a sprite yet.”
Eula held Brook in her arms, constantly teasing his chin with one hand.
“A competition would require many people, right? With just a few sprites, a competition wouldn’t be interesting.”
Hearing this, Star temporarily abandoned the idea. It’s true, there are too few people now; holding a competition wouldn’t be fun. They would have to wait until they had more people and more sprites.
After playing for a while, the women each went home.
The scene shifts to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor in Liyue Harbor.
After returning, Hutao felt a little hungry. Since she was already at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, she asked Xiangling to make a hot pot. The two sat outside on the first floor, by the street, eating and chatting. The first floor dining area of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is an open space adjacent to the street.
“Xiangling, I think you could add this hot pot to your menu. Business would definitely be booming.”
Xiangling agreed. She had learned to make hot pot from Ye Yun. Liyue had spicy dishes before, but not hot pot.
“That’s something I can consider. This way, Dad can relax a bit too.”
Hutao picked up a piece of beef and put it in her mouth, feeling instantly satisfied.
“Ah~ Delicious, muamua~”
At this time, a woman with golden eyes and white hair walked along the street outside the fence. The woman had a stern expression, causing passersby to instinctively step aside.
The woman was Asmodeus, the Space Archon of Tivat.
Asmodeus had been monitoring the False Heaven on Celestia. Suddenly, she sensed an extremely powerful energy surge in Liyue. She secretly descended upon Liyue to see what was happening.
As she walked, she unknowingly arrived at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and saw Xiangling and Hutao eating hot pot by the street.
Hutao, leaning against the railing with her hands on it, also saw Asmodeus. Their eyes met, and Hutao waved.
“Hello, hello.”
Asmodeus responded with a cold nod. Just as she was about to leave, a delicious aroma wafted into her nostrils.
“Gugu~ Gugu~” Asmodeus’s stomach suddenly rumbled twice.
Hutao said, “Friend, would you like to join us for some?”
Asmodeus looked at Hutao, about to refuse – *I am Asmodeus! The Space Archon! I will absolutely not accept charity!*
Hutao said, “Come on, come on, let’s eat together. It’s alright.”
Hutao got up, went to Asmodeus’s side, and pulled her inside to sit down. Xiangling then brought a new set of tableware for Asmodeus.
“Are you comfortable using chopsticks? Should I get you a fork and knife?”
Hutao picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef, and put it in Asmodeus’s bowl.
“Don’t be polite. We have a saying in Liyue: ‘A guest is like a treasure’. Everyone encounters difficulties when they are away from home. Later, I’ll accompany you to Yujing Terrace to report your lost belongings; let’s see if we can find them.”
That’s right. Hutao and Xiangling treated Asmodeus as a foreign traveler who had encountered difficulties, like losing their wallet.
Hutao thought: *Otherwise? Didn’t you hear that her stomach was rumbling just now? That sound, tsk tsk, I could hear it even from ten meters away.*
Asmodeus looked at the tempting beef in her bowl, then at Hutao and Xiangling, who were enthusiastically inviting her to eat. She swallowed her saliva and decided to eat a little, just a little. After all, others were so warmly entertaining her; she couldn’t disappoint their kindness, right?
Half an hour later.
“Burp~”
Asmodeus leaned back in her chair with a satisfied expression, slowly stroking her full stomach.
Hutao and Xiangling looked at the stacks of empty plates on the table, completely confirming their idea that Asmodeus was a traveler in distress.
Goodness knows how much Asmodeus had eaten. Hutao felt her fighting capacity could rival Paimon’s. Tsk tsk, terrifying.
The three of them chatted while eating; Hutao enthusiastically invited Asmodeus to stay at her place. Asmodeus could move out after she had rested.
After resting for a while, Xiangling and Hutao got up to clear the table. Seeing this, Asmodeus also got up to help. She may be in a high position, but she wasn’t unfamiliar with common courtesies.
After the three of them cleaned up the table, Hutao and Asmodeus said goodbye to Xiangling and headed towards Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, with Hutao leading the way.
“Asmodeus, stay at my place for a while. I have an empty room next to mine. I’ll get you some new bedding and things later.”
Asmodeus watched Hutao, constantly arranging her accommodations, a warm feeling flowed through her heart. Experiencing this, Asmodeus found it pleasant, a slight smile unconsciously playing on her lips.
Half an hour later, Asmodeus and Hutao returned to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
As soon as they entered, Asmodeus saw a brightly lit internet cafe.
“What is this?”
Seeing Asmodeus looking at the internet cafe, Hutao said, “This is a side business of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, an internet cafe – a place where you can play games. If you’re interested, you can take a look. Just mention my name to the attendant.”
Asmodeus nodded and followed Hutao inside.
They arrived at a courtyard, somewhat distant from the internet cafe, quiet and peaceful. They reached the room next to Hutao’s. Hutao lit a lantern.
“Here you go, stay here for now. I’ll get you an electric lamp tomorrow; it’s more convenient than this lantern. I’ll bring you bedding in a bit. Rest for now, see you later.”
