[Come to think of it, it's been almost three months since I signed that bet with that guy. 】

After coming back to his senses, Li Zheng looked at the seahorse Seren and the seahorse Weiyang who were chatting not far away, and the eyes of the spirit behind him showed imperceptible envy.

The newly awakened Kaima Seto now has no such aura at all, he is like an ordinary young husband, and he is silently listening to his wife.

[If I can too......]

Li Zheng's stereo projection glanced at his hand and shook his head in disappointment. It is a body made entirely of light, energy, and information, and is as fragile as a piece of paper compared to the Seahorse couple's body that can touch the real world.

No...... It's not as good as a piece of paper.

"If you can, what will you do?"

A soft and glutinous voice came from behind Li Zheng - Li Zheng didn't need to look back or look at the surveillance camera to know who the owner of this voice was.

The second-generation dueling king, the protagonist of urban legends, Megumi Dongdongya, is standing quietly behind Li Zheng at this time.

Of course, this is - since Megumi was woken up by a pot of chicken soup from Yukino, Megumi has left the island of life and death where she has lived for seven years, and when Li Zheng came to Weiyang to discuss the matter of waking up the people of Kaima Seto, Megumi happened to be there, and she then came with her as a matter of course.

The half-spirit girl, both in appearance and shape, was completely indistinguishable from seven years ago, as if time had left no trace on her body at all.

In fact, it is true - the name "Immortal Contract", although it seems child's play, but it sums up the nature of the "half-spirit" that is both dead and alive - if nothing else, Xiaohui will live forever in this state of "Schrödinger's cat".

"I don't know, it's because I don't know that I'm so envious. ”

Because the current Li Zheng uses a body constructed by stereoscopic projection, and the body is not even in the same world as here (Veins and the earth in the real world are theoretically not in the same world), so he and Xiaohui do not use telepathy, but directly use language to communicate.

Li Zheng turned around - although it didn't matter whether he turned around or not for stereoscopic projection, Li Zheng still habitually planned to look at Xiaohui: "I don't even have the right to think about this issue." ”

“......”

The half-spirit girl didn't say a word, but walked lightly in front of Li Zheng, who was in stereo projection, raised her little hand, and held it in Li Zheng's face.

She wanted to touch the cheek of the person in front of her, but there was no doubt that she could only touch a void.

"I'm sorry. Li Zheng looked at the half-spirit girl in front of him tenderly—this time, he had no intention of running away, "Really, I'm sorry......"

Because there is already a road ahead—even if it's a thorn.

"It's okay, I'll wait. Xiao Hui's little face, which was always like the solid ice of the Arctic Ocean, melted, and she showed a warm smile to the projection of Li Zheng in front of her: "Because I figured it out, I am willing...... Trust you. ”

Somehow, Ling Li Zheng, who has no hormones, no internal organs, and no material body, feels that his heart is beating violently at this time.

At this moment, Li Zheng seemed to be a human again.

At the same time, a simple "I believe" suddenly raised an endless sense of guilt in the hearts of the spirits behind him.

"Why?" It seemed that the moment of being a human again was very short, and after a while, Li Zheng returned to his previous Li Zheng, "Has anything happened recently?"

"Actually...... I was just scared. Xiao Hui didn't answer Li Zheng's question immediately, but first started to walk away by himself and sat on the bench next to him, "If you are free, can you listen to me?"

"I'm always available. ”

Li Zheng replied as he cut off the communication from Gray Liuli's side - as if he wanted him to help see a place in Veins.

Of course, almost instinctively, Li Zheng divided a thread to deal with this matter with full authority.

Li Zheng, who had stereoscopic projection, followed Xiaohui to "sit" on the bench.

"Okaeo is a good boy. Li Zheng had just sat down, but the first thing Xiaohui said surprised him: "A very hard-working child." ”

"yes, very hard. Li Zheng nodded and said, "But compared with you back then, you are obviously not spiritual enough." ”

"Hmph~" The girl blinked and didn't make any more expressions, "Sure enough, you must have a contractor to walk in this world." ”

"I'm sorry, but that's the reality. Li Zheng shook his head helplessly, "I can't ...... either."

"I don't want you to apologize — and you don't need to apologize. Xiaohui stretched out her small hand and covered Li Zheng's mouth – even though it didn't do anything for a stereoscopic projection: "I used to be scared, afraid of being abandoned, as if ...... Adopted feral cats in general. ”

"......" Li Zheng was silent and nodded.

"But I've figured it out now. Retracting the little hand that was covering the air, the girl smiled calmly, "I want to believe you—I believe that you are trying." ”

"I ......"

"I've heard that there are other forces around the world, such as the Native Gods, the Dark Duelists, and you've been in contact lately?"

Xiao Hui used the word "liaison" that seemed to be civilized—but the girl who was well versed in the combat power of the spirit behind the front and the style of acting knew that his so-called "liaison" was only written as "liaison" and read as "subdued......

Just look at the "fans" he has in stockpile—all of them have a lot of material.

"Yes. ”

Li Zheng just nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.

"Why?"

"I made a deal with the devil. Li Zheng closed his eyes, and then stretched out his virtual hand to stroke the girl's head: "Trust me, there will be that day." ”

This kind of touching could not have caused any feedback from the girl's nervous system, but she still narrowed her eyes like a kitten being touched, enjoying a moment of peace.

At the end, Xiao Hui smiled softly and said, "Li Zheng...... In a while, I'm going to come to the Duel Academy - not my current status. ”

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you prepare the materials." ”

—————— Ark of Miracles——————

The physical education class at the Duel Academy ended quickly - until the end of the physical education class, Ayukawa Emi did not return from the principal's office.

Physical education is a big class, and in the Duel Academy, it often takes an entire morning or afternoon to attend, so after this sullen class, the students have to go to the cafeteria to eat.

In the usual physical education class, Emi Ayukawa would always waste a lot of time by letting the students get off the D wheel and the dueling boat, and finally the students would go to the cafeteria with cold food, but today because they didn't use the equipment at all, the students were listless and took the lead in the cafeteria.

And when Okaeo led a group of chattering girls behind her into the cafeteria, she saw Zizi, who had not seen anyone for a long time - she was cooking.

Because of her health, she doesn't have to go to physical education class - and for this reason, she eats very little.

"Purple, are you there?"

However, Aojiaou, who walked up to greet him enthusiastically, found that there were many unexpectedly many meals today.

Of course, this kind of "more" is relative to Zizi, and in terms of Zizi's amount of food, this is enough for three of her to eat, but if it is replaced by ten generations...... He can solve these problems alone.
