He pulled open a closet placed by the wall.
"Hmm?"
The young man looked inside and exclaimed in shock, "Damn, this is insane."
The closet was clearly filled with girls’ clothing.
"There’s nothing to be shocked about."
The middle-aged man glanced briefly and shut the closet, laughing, "I hear a lot of young guys these days like to crossdress, you should know more about this stuff than an old man like me, right?"
"I know a..."
The young fellow bit back the rest of his words.
He wanted to say that these clothes were clearly meant for underage girls.
Surely that college student couldn’t possibly have a Lolita figure, right?
..... (Let’s emphasize this again, the protagonist won’t join any organizations~)

Dream world.
Liya’s private workshop.
Luo Xi rummaged through the workshop for things he thought might be useful.
Since his consciousness couldn’t return to reality now, he couldn’t carry items in and out as he did when he moved Cat Cat’s belongings before; he could only try to pick the best things to transport.
However, there really weren’t many good things left in the workshop; just a few Tier Four skill scrolls could be considered decent loot.
The iron doll had also been taken in by Luo Xi and squeezed into the Dreamland travel pack along with the power armor.
Even though the combat power of the iron doll seemed so-so, rather dimwitted, and Luo Xi, deprived of his hearing and vision, could dodge its attacks with ease, since Cat Cat could control it, he saw no reason not to take it.
On the other side of the workshop, Wei’er was also rummaging through boxes and cabinets, trying to salvage anything useful.
She called out to Luo Xi, "Luo Xi, have you gathered everything? How much space do you still have?"
"Almost done. I can’t fit more stuff at the moment, so we can give up on the less important items," Luo Xi replied, glancing at Cat Cat who was searching for items on the other side.
He subconsciously looked toward Cat Cat’s legs.
Under the white skirt, the slender calves moved lightly on the ground, revealing a stretch of white cotton socks above her shoes.
The shoes and socks that he’d taken off before were long since put back on.
[Note: You trashy Traveler, do you regret not collecting Cat Cat’s original scent footwear?]
Damn Text, you’re unsalvageably perverted too.
Wei’er approached, avoiding to look at Luo Xi’s face as much as possible.
Whenever she saw his face, she would remember the scene where she kicked him in the head with her foot, feeling itchy with anger and a bit embarrassed.
Wei’er asked softly, "Should we stay here or go back to the inn?"
Luo Xi casually said, "Do as you wish, Cat Cat. I’m fine with either."
In fact, it didn’t matter to Luo Xi where they went.
Yesterday’s time was beyond retracing, but today he had a margin for error.
Luo Xi also remembered the mess he left behind in reality.
In that old house, he’d killed a player hunter.
He had intended to start over, but now, damn, that old house truly became a haunted place.
If the elderly landlord found out, he’d probably die of fright on the spot.
Wei’er sensed the young man’s mood seemed a bit off, hesitated for a moment, and when she looked up, she saw Luo Xi’s bitter melon face.
Cat Cat asked in confusion, "What perverse thoughts are you entertaining now?"
Luo Xi pretended to be nonchalant, "Nothing much. Didn’t you say I could touch your ears and tail before?"
Wei’er turned her head and snorted coldly, "You pervert are thinking too much. I never said that!"
[Ding! Your Happiness Level +5]
Luo Xi chuckled.
Indeed, talking with the tsundere Cat-eared Girl could make him feel a little better.
Wei’er lowered her head again and after a while, said softly, "I want to go back to the inn for a bit. Mom said it’s safe in the workshop, but after all, it’s someone else’s territory. I’m also worried about Aina. If the Rat King has always known my whereabouts, then he probably knows where Aina is too. I’m afraid if he can’t find me, he’ll go after Aina..."
Slap—
Wei’er felt her head sink.
A large, warm hand landed on her head.
The expression on Cat Cat’s face instantly turned to a (▼へ▼メ) scowl, her fists clenched tightly.
This pervert really was always thinking about taking advantage of her at every opportunity.
And for some reason, there were times when she would get very angry at his actions, yet she couldn’t bring herself to feel disgusted by him.
However, it seemed that Luo Xi wasn’t deliberately touching her cat ears; he just casually ruffled her hair a few times and then withdrew his hand.
[Ding! Your Happiness Level +10]
Luo Xi contently withdrew his hand, "Then let’s head back to the inn first. Staying here could indeed put us in a vulnerable position. It’s a pity we can’t take your mother’s seal from this workshop, otherwise, we could ensure our safety."
Wait a minute! The seal...
Luo Xi suddenly remembered something, and he looked at his remaining synchronisation time[???].
The Text referred to this place as a special location.
It was after his consciousness entered here that the synchronisation time changed like this.
Did that mean that when he left the workshop, the synchronisation time would return to normal?
Luo Xi went to the workshop’s entrance and said, "Cat Cat, send me out for a moment."
"Ah? Okay."
Wei’er, not understanding what Luo Xi planned to do, looked outside to confirm it was clear and then led Luo Xi out with her anyway.
Stepping through ripples like those in water, Luo Xi and Wei’er exited the workshop together.
