Chapter 894 Mayfly's Wish, Searching
Xiao Xiao laughed.

"You don't have to be so polite."

"Let's go."

Noticing the two cats' puzzled looks, Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth, "Aren't you going to take me somewhere?"

"Meow meow~"

The black cat meowed a few times, and its round eyes sparkled.

……

The cats dispersed.

On the wall, on the tree, on the trash can, his footsteps are light and his body is agile.

……

The black cat and the tabby cat led the way in front of Xiao Xiao, unconsciously increasing their speed.

However, the two cats knew to look back at Xiao Xiao from time to time to confirm whether this human was still following them.

……

Seeing that Xiao Xiao was following them, the two cats started running.

The hint of anxiety that was originally only in their eyes finally showed in their actions.

As dusk fell, gorgeous and beautiful clouds lit up most of the sky red.

Night is slowly approaching.

Time is running out.

……

here-
Xiao Xiao paused. Isn’t this the park where the baby got lost before?
He hasn't been here for a long time since he came here to look for his baby.

……

The park in summer is just as I remembered, full of greenery and vines.

There was a faint scent of lotus in the air.

It has a slightly sweet taste.

……

There were almost no people in the park at this time, and it felt quite empty.

Everywhere you look, there are... wild cats.

The faint cat's eyes seemed to glow in the afterglow of the setting sun.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled.

He had a premonition.

The destination of this trip is approaching.

……

After running for a while, Xiao Xiao slowly slowed down his pace.

What a familiar smell.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

Are cats really psychic?
It seems like he is always the one being asked for help regarding matters concerning monsters.

……

"Meow meow~"

The black cat and the tabby cat stopped in front of a pond, turned to look at Xiao Xiao and called out a few times, sounding quite anxious and urging.

Next to them... there is a golden bug flying?

The light golden, nearly transparent body seemed to be melting in the afterglow of the sunset.

……

Xiao Xiao took a few steps forward.

This is... a mayfly? !

He was somewhat surprised.

This is a rare monster.

Not just because it's rare.

In today's society, monsters of all kinds are rare.

But it is because, as the name suggests, just like the mayfly that most people know about, it is born in the morning and dies in the evening. The lifespan of this monster is only a short day.

To happen to see it on this day, you have to be quite lucky.

……

The mayfly did not try to avoid Xiao Xiao's approach.

Only after getting closer did Xiao Xiao make out the pair of nearly transparent wings behind it.

Like butterfly wings.

The edge of the wings is outlined with a thin golden border.

……

Mayfly lowered its head slightly towards Xiao Xiao.

"Hello, human."

An ethereal and unreal voice sounded in Xiao Xiao's mind.

The strange feeling made Xiao Xiao stunned.

Is this...telepathy?
……

"Hello, Mayfly."

Recovering his distracted thoughts, Xiao Xiao looked at Mayfly.

……

"Great, you can actually see me."

Mayfly was very happy, "I thought I couldn't find it..."

"Can you please do me a favor?"

The little monster was full of expectations.

……

"If it's within my power."

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly, "I'm willing to help."

……

"Thank you, human."

……

He didn’t know if it was the effect of telepathy, but Xiao Xiao felt the same joy as Mayfly, and he couldn’t help but deepen the smile on his face.

……

It's not a complicated thing.

During its long childhood, the mayfly once heard of a flower by chance.

Epiphyllum.

……

Isn't the short-lived bloom of an ephemeral flower similar to the life and death of a mayfly? They are both equally short-lived.

……

After knowing about the night-blooming cereus, it wanted to see that flower very much.

But where can it find Epiphyllum when it knows nothing about this world?
It doesn't even know what a night-blooming cereus looks like.

……

It flies around like a headless fly.

I watched time pass by little by little, but I gained nothing.

Just as the sun was about to set, it met the black cat.

……

Xiao Xiao could roughly guess what would happen next.

It must be the black cat that mobilized the group of wild cats.

When the tabby cat learned about the situation, he recommended him to the black cat.

Then, the cats appeared at the gate of his yard.

……

“Epiphyllum…?”

Xiao Xiao murmured softly.

……

"Yes."

"Human, please help me."

“I really want to see Epiphyllum.”

The mayfly's voice became more earnest.

……

"it is good."

Xiao Xiao looked at the sky and asked, "How long do you have?"

The words were incoherent, but Mayfly did not hesitate to answer, "Until the moon is at its highest point in the sky."

……

time is limited.

Xiao Xiao looked at the sky, which had already lost some of its deep red color and was now tinged with a light dark color.

……

If it were daytime, Epiphyllum should not be so difficult to find.

However, at this time, the flower and bird market is also closed...

Moreover, mayflies want to see more than just the Epiphyllum.

But it is the blooming Epiphyllum.

The night-blooming cereus that happened to bloom tonight...

It will probably take a lot of effort to find this.

……

Xiao Xiao frowned and thought.

The Epiphyllum that blooms tonight can only be the Epiphyllum grown in someone’s home.

However, there are people who grow Epiphyllum nearby...

He has never seen it.

……

He pulled out his phone and sent a few messages.

When looking for something, it is easier to find it with more people.

……

"Mayfly, follow me."

Xiao Xiao greeted Mayfly.

Now all he could think of was to try his luck at a nearby flower shop.

……

Mayfly flew in front of the black cat, "Thank you."

It looked around at the cats around it and said, "Thank you."

"I am very grateful."

"Meow meow~"

……

"Human, thank you for your help."

The mayfly flew to Xiao Xiao's face and nodded slightly to Feifei, who was looking at him with half-open eyes, as a sign of friendliness.

Feifei stared at the other person for a while before lazily closing his eyes.

……

"My name is Xiao Xiao."

While checking the location of the flower shop on the map, Xiao Xiao introduced himself.

It's always human, human, so it's bound to sound a bit awkward.

……

"Xiao-Xiao."

Mayfly repeated the name of the human in front of him, feeling strangely happy.

The humans before me were different.

He could see it and talk to it.

Now I am still willing to help it find Epiphyllum.

He is Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao is such a good person.

……

Xiao Xiao was completely unaware that he had just been given the nice guy card by a monster.

He was concentrating on a map he had drawn in his mind.

Several flower shops are marked above.

He had to visit as many flower shops as possible in the shortest possible time.

If the first flower shop can have Epiphyllum, he who has never bought a lottery ticket might as well buy one and try.

But this situation is just a thought.

the fact is-
"Sorry, we don't have Epiphyllum in our store."

"OK, thanks."

"Ding Lingling~"

Amid the crisp sound of wind chimes, Xiao Xiao pushed the door and left the flower shop.
