"Do you know why this Tower of Death is named after the word death?"
Xingjia Shenxue and Xingjia Huaxue shook their heads.
"Although my Law of Death covers you and you will not die, you still have to bear the pain of death. If you want to move up, you must face death directly. Starting from the first level, you must constantly cross death. If you are not strong enough, you will be stuck on that level and be trapped in the cycle of death and resurrection, unless you give up."
"Holmes chose to enter this tower of death because he had reached a bottleneck as a human being. You still have a lot of room for growth. There is no need to use this self-abuse method to improve your combat effectiveness."
“Even if we let you in now, you would be stuck at the fourth floor and unable to break through. You would then continue to suffer the pain of being eaten by tens of thousands of zombies.”
Moyin said as he picked up the tea which had already cooled down a little and took a sip.
"Can I really become a god if I break out of this tower?"
Xingjia Fenxue was a little curious.
"Really? It's just that no one has made it through yet, and I haven't collected enough tower guards. But the only thing I can guarantee is that anyone who can make it through will be able to advance to become a god."
"Hey, why?"
Xingjia Fengxue, who had been hanging out with Moyin for a while and was most familiar with him, asked curiously.
"Because I am the defender of the 100th floor. Of course, my strength will be suppressed to the same level as the challenger's. However, I have mastered a large number of laws. Even if the strength is the same, it is not easy to defeat me. In the battle, you can constantly observe my attacks to comprehend the power of the laws. When you fully comprehend a unique power of the laws that belongs to the challenger, you can condense the godhood and become a god."
"Hey, hey, hey, if you go in there, will I have to use my sword against you one day?"
Xingjia Huaxue asked in astonishment.
"Yes, this is the process of this Death Tower. According to the game, the first 99 floors are used to give experience to those who enter the tower, and as the boss, I will test them and give them rewards."
"Then let's not go in... I don't want to confront a god as approachable as you. I don't want to."
Xingjia Miyuki spoke up and the other girls nodded.
After all, the god Moyin treated them like ordinary girls, treated them to delicious food, and took them out to play. They simply couldn't bring themselves to do anything to Moyin.
"Then don't go in. Even if you don't do anything, I will protect you."
Mo Yin said with a smile.
"By the way, Master Moyin, what would you like to eat for lunch today?"
Xingjia Chuxue asked.
"I don't plan on eating lunch at the shrine. Lilith and the others are still waiting for me to make it."
"Then we want to be your helpers!"
"Okay, let's go together."
Moyin raised his hand, and a spatial law enveloped Xingjia Fengxue and others, and then he returned to his rented apartment.
"Master! You are back~"
Upon smelling Moyin's scent, G41 immediately dropped the Monopoly game in his hand, rushed over, jumped, and then hugged Moyin's face in one go.
"Well, you're back. I'll give you a pat on the head. Come down a little. I'll make you something to eat."
"Great!"
G41 obediently swiped down from Moyin's body.
Afterwards, Moyin used the law of space to expand the space of the kitchen, and then started cooking with Xingjia Fengxue and others. After all, there were many people eating at home, and only one or two pots were not enough to cook.
After dinner, Meltlilith pulled Moyin in front of the TV.
"You sit here."
"oh..."
Moyin sat down, and then Meltlilith found a comfortable position and sat in Moyin's arms.
"Ah, so cunning, I want to sit in your arms too!"
TMP floated over.
"First come, first served! Go as you go."
Meltlilith waved her hands in resistance to drive TMP away, and the pointed kitchen knife slipped out of TMP's sleeve. However, the rule set by Moyin was that family members were not allowed to kill each other, so TMP had to take back the kitchen knife and sit down next to Moyin's left hand.
And G41 also nestled on the right side of Moyin.
"But, but... but... damn it... you actually, actually did something that would make people so... envious, ahem, intimate!"
WA2000 looked at Lilith and the others with hatred, but as a tsundere, she couldn't bring herself to go over and act so intimately with them, so she had to continue playing board games with the others.
Reki didn't react at all, still focusing on the board game.
Moyin spent the weekend lazily like this. On Sunday night, the doorbell of Moyin's house rang again.
"Oh, my guests are here. I'm going to be out for a while. If you're tired, go to bed first. I might be back late."
This time, Moyin stopped Jin who was about to open the door, stood up and walked to the door and opened it.
Standing outside the door was Riko, who looked haggard.
"Hey, Gin Gin, Riko... Riko has something very important to deal with right now. Can we... find a place to talk for a few words?"
Riko changed her usual energetic attitude and asked in a humble tone.
If...if she fails here, it will be extremely difficult for her to get her mother's relics back. However, her relationship with Moyin is just that of an ordinary friend, not to mention that she had set a trap for Moyin in order to fight Aria and the others, so she is a little uneasy now.
"I remember you said before that you would treat me to milk tea or cake or something when you have time? It just so happens that I want to eat dessert, so just honor the invitation."
Moyin replied with a smile.
"it is good!"
Riko suddenly raised her head, and a glimmer of hope that had disappeared before appeared in her eyes. Then she held Moyin's arm and walked down the stairs of the apartment, holding Moyin's arm tightly as if she was afraid that Moyin would run away.
But Moyin didn't hate it. After all, the soft touch made people feel happy. And it was not his fault that Riko took advantage of him since she was the one holding him.
Soon, Riko took Moyin to a warmly decorated cake shop.
Riko, who had successfully brought Moyin here, also breathed a sigh of relief. Her inner anxiety was somewhat relieved and she regained some of her energy.
"Hey, Yinyin! Eat whatever you want today! Lizi will treat you to anything! It doesn't matter how much you eat!"
Riko pushed the cute menu over and said that. Moyin then ordered two cakes and a glass of Sprite, and then Riko also ordered a tiramisu.
When the waiter brought their orders and left, Riko put her hands together and made a gesture of asking.
"Gin-Gin! Riko has a lifetime request, please agree to it! If you succeed, Riko will give you everything she has, whether it's money or her body! Whatever you want, as long as Riko has it, I'll give it to you!"
Riko came straight to the point. On the way here, she thought about it and came to the conclusion that Moyin had seen through her just like the professor. So, playing those little tricks would be just as ridiculous as a clown in front of him. This concealment would also reduce Moyin's favorability towards her.
Since you're asking him for help, it's better to be honest with him.
"The thing about Vlad the Infinite Sin, right?"
"Hmm! Yinyin, you can really predict the future, right? Or is it clairvoyance?"
Moyin's words made Riko more certain of her analysis.
"More or less. I don't usually open it, but I know a little bit about your situation."
"Oh, so Yinyin is so interested in Lizi? Then tonight, let Lizi give Yinyin a night full of romance and charm?"
Feeling that the topic was developing in a positive direction, Riko immediately returned to her usual seductive little devil style.
"Ah, let's forget about this for now."
"what?"
The color on Riko's face disappeared in an instant, and her lovely face was as pale as the snow in winter that had not been tarnished by anyone, which made people feel pity.
"That...that is...Gin-Gin, you...are not willing to help Riko?"
Pearl-like crystal clear tears flowed uncontrollably from Riko's cute brown-red pupils. This was not her usual acting, but tears shed because of real despair.
"That's not the case, but you are trading your body with me, right?"
Moyin handed over a napkin, and Riko wiped away her tears. Although she was rejected, according to Moyin's words, it seemed that there was still room for maneuver? Failure, but not complete failure?
"Yes, but Riko... I can't come up with anything else that would interest you, Gin-Gin... You don't lack money at all... Well, you have a lot of cute girls, too. I know you don't care about Riko's health, Gin-Gin, but this is really the most precious thing to you."
Riko said sadly while wiping her tears.
"Well, I know this is your most precious thing. Riko is also very cute. I think she is quite to my liking."
"Then why don't you want to!!!"
Riko couldn't help but yelled out.
She really didn't understand why Moyin would reject her.
"I can help you, but I don't want you to give me your body for this deal. That would be too pitiful for you."
"...But Riko doesn't have anything else good to give you, Yinyin. The relic my mother left me is the most precious thing to me, Riko. It's the only...item. I can't give it to you."
Riko was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and continued.
"How about giving me your heart?"
"Eh? Heart?"
"I want your heart more than your body. I know you hate harem lines. I will help you get your cross back and take revenge on Vlad the Infinite Sin, and you just try to like me."
"This... this kind of thing, you can obviously get a body, why do you still cling to it? Isn't the body the final gift?"
"I think H should be done after two people like each other. If it's a one-sided transaction, I'll feel good, but you'll feel humiliated because of the transaction attitude, right? You won't be able to be happy like that, right?"
"Why... do you care about my happiness?"
Riko was stunned for a moment, then asked slowly.
"Because Riko is a very cute girl, I want to see your true expression, whether it's a smile or tears, instead of the fake expression you put on like in school, where you force yourself to smile even though you are burdened by a heavy burden."
"I admit that you are very talented in disguise, and those smiles are flawless, but you are actually very tired, right? How about letting me take care of you and protect you from now on?"
Moyin said as he stroked Riko's head.
Tick, tick, crystal clear tears fell on the dining table. Riko was already in tears.
How many years... How many years, she has always been alone... After her parents died, she was tricked by Vlad and cruelly imprisoned. No one has ever said these words to her. She kept learning in the darkness, and kept learning in order to gain strength.
Even though she had integrated into the student community with her social butterfly skills after arriving at Butei High School, she had almost no friends... She only had junior schoolmates who admired her, but they would never tell her these words that hit her most vulnerable part. They knew nothing.
Riko stood up from her seat and snuggled into Moyin's arms, crying loudly. This time, she didn't want to pretend to be a perfect cute girl anymore. She just wanted to nestle in Moyin's arms like a little child and cry out all the tears she had shed in the past eight years. She had been suppressing her tears for too long.
