I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 461: Prologue: The Fugitive and the Traveler

"Sit, sit, make yourselves at home..."

Mom warmly greeted the two girls, so warmly that it made them feel a bit out of place. Even the usually calm Kikyo was a bit unsettled, let alone the white-haired girl who was completely puzzled and had no idea what was happening.

She sat uneasily on the sofa, holding the teacup in her hands, gently biting her lower lip, her gaze somewhat uncertain and wandered as if she was seriously assessing the surroundings, looking for an escape route, a habitual action as if by instinct.

However, this was only noticed by Gu Mo and Kikyo.

Besides them, others probably just saw the girl as being quite reserved.

"You little rascal..."

Dad also had an expression of satisfaction, but he immediately pulled Gu Mo into the kitchen.

He looked at his son up and down with a strange expression, "You’ve really done it, haven’t you? Pulling off such a big thing quietly, but haven’t you considered whether our old hearts can handle it?"

"Actually, we’re just friends..." Gu Mo blinked.

"Cut the crap, what day is today? Someone who comes back with you, and you dare say you’re just friends?" Dad clearly wasn’t buying it, waving his hand dismissively while showing obvious disdain on his face, "But how did you manage to charm them into coming back with you..."

Dad was also puzzled, wondering when his son quietly became such a scoundrel? With this firm assumption and judgment, this usually optimistic and open-minded middle-aged man looked at Gu Mo with complex emotions, just like his feelings at this moment.

"I only invited Kikyo..." Gu Mo explained seriously for himself, "Hiri... the other girl, she suddenly showed up out of nowhere, to be honest, I was surprised too, but I couldn’t just leave her, so I brought her along."

"You caught a girl’s attention, and she came straight to you to ask for an explanation, and you were surprised? Couldn’t ignore her, so you brought her along?" Dad’s gaze grew even more complex, feeling like his son unknowingly became wayward, even outrageously so.

Mom was still worried this kid might not find a partner in the future, but here he is, bringing two girls back...

"By the way, Dad, I brought you and Mom some good stuff this time..." Gu Mo tilted his head, naturally trying to change the topic.

"Stop pretending to be stupid, this is a fundamental mistake... Hey, wait, listen to me, where are you going now?" Dad said seriously, trying to lecture him, but before finishing his words, he noticed the boy turned to leave and quickly grabbed him.

"I’m going to send the other one out right away! Don’t worry, I definitely won’t make a fundamental mistake!" Gu Mo promised earnestly.

"Hold on, hold on! You little rascal... Eh, fine, it’s your own business, deal with it yourself." Dad’s brow twitched heavily, finally sighed and said, although he also felt it wasn’t right, but given the situation, he couldn’t really send anyone away.

"It’s really not what you think, just... that girl is a bit special, so I can’t just let her leave, just treat her like an ordinary guest."

Gu Mo shrugged, recognizing the white-haired girl who suddenly appeared and knocked him over. He couldn’t let her just leave, but forcing her to stay wouldn’t work either, so it ended up like this.

Having been through many ups and downs, he remained relatively calm, even somewhat unconcerned, just as he said, just treat her as a newly met friend, an ordinary guest.

Unfortunately, Dad didn’t have the same thick nerve, muttering about how to treat the two girls as ordinary guests, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, that girl is a Witch from Japan, right?"

Kikyo’s attire was classic, with the white top and red skirt, so distinctive it wouldn’t be surprising to be recognized or misunderstood... or perhaps not mistaken at all, given the circumstances.

"That’s right, she is indeed a Witch." Gu Mo answered calmly.

He wasn’t worried about his parents associating anything, as they were the classic older generation that was immune to anime or manga, so there was no chance of recognizing Kikyo, just like they couldn’t recognize Hiri, so he didn’t even need to help disguise or conceal the truth. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"This girl seems really nice, you better seize the opportunity..." Dad nodded with satisfaction; Witches always left a very positive impression.

As for the other one, he wasn’t quite sure, how to put it? To say it nicely, the other girl seemed... emmmmm, a bit too fashionable and avant-garde?

——That should be it...
