It's time for lunch break.

Shihime goes to meet up with Kiyogo.

The moment she saw the handsome young man smiling and greeting, the complicated thoughts in her heart suddenly dissipated a lot, and she felt a little cheerful.

I really like him...... The girl reaffirmed her heart.

Then I felt that the previous thinking and confusion seemed a bit redundant, and then I thought of Wakaba Chiaki's true meaning, and I felt a little like I had been played.

While various thoughts flashed through her mind, Zi Ji responded to the other party's greeting with a smile on her face.

Then the two walked together to a quiet corner of the campus and sat down.

"What do you want to tell me?"

"That's right, I'm planning to form a team of psionics, and I want to invite you to join. ”

"The team of psionics?" Zi Ji blinked.

"Hmm. The purpose of building this team is to achieve my personal goals, what I have to do is to fight, and there are risks associated with it......"

Harusa solemnly explained the situation.

Zi Ji listened to his words quietly, her eyes flashing.

"In other words, if I join, I will fight under your instructions. On the other hand, you're going to do your best to keep me safe and help me get stronger, right?"

"That's right. ”

"Fighting...... Do you need to kill someone?" she looked at the other man's face.

Harusa was silent for a moment.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out, it can only be said that it depends on the situation. He replied calmly.

"What kind of situation?"

"For example, in order to protect yourself and your companions, you have to do it...... In other words, in the face of an enemy with killing intent, in order to avoid damage to one's own side, one must have the consciousness of killing the other party. ”

"In other words, the safety of yourself and your companions is the highest priority?"

"Yes, that's the first principle. ”

A few seconds of silence.

"Any other questions?" said Haruji.

"Yes. Shihime stared at him, "Kiyogo...... Haruji, have you ever killed someone?"

"Killed. Harusa replied frankly.

Hearing this answer, Zi Ji found that she didn't feel anything at all.

There was no rejection or nausea, and there was not the slightest wavering, as if it were a normal thing.

"Do you regret killing?" she asked.

"No regrets. ”

"Why?"

"Because then it was just as I said...... For the sake of oneself and one's companions, one must be conscious. Harusa's eyes flickered.

The scene fell silent again.

"This team wasn't built to kill people, it just can't rule out that possibility. He said it earnestly.

"I want each member to put themselves and their companions first, and not to cause unnecessary harm to themselves for the sake of the safety of the enemy. ”

"Even if you don't join the team, I want you to remember, Shihime...... If you encounter someone who wants to hurt your own spiritual ability, don't worry about anything, and use your best to defeat the enemy and protect yourself. ”

There is deep concern in the words of admonition.

The purple-haired girl understood.

So I am sure that my previous thinking is completely superfluous!

What about killing someone? Kiyogo Harano...... Haruta Haruhi is Haruta Haruhi and hasn't changed anything.

Wakaba Chiaki, who was beside him, saw it very clearly, and made a choice without superfluous thinking.

And ...... for yourself Although I was a little misled by Wakaba, it was fundamentally because I didn't see it clearly, so I was confused.

Zi Ji was annoyed and even ashamed of this.

He's her hero, and she's suspicious of him.

"That's all I have to say. I hope you will think about it and give me an answer on Saturday. Harusa smiled, "Although I want you to join, if you refuse, our relationship will not change, if something happens, you can still ask me for help." ”

"That's ...... It's too cheeky. Zi Ji said softly.

"Huh?"

"Isn't it cheeky that you're willing to help me and risk your life to save me, but I'm not willing to help you?"

For this, Harusa didn't know how to respond for a while.

"I can't allow myself to do that, so I'm willing to join...... No, I want to join!" Shihime said seriously, "Please let me join your team, Harusa. ”

"You don't have to answer right away, think about it before ......"

Even if you think about it, the answer is the same. The purple-haired girl's eyes showed a determined look, "I want to be your true companion, become strong, and fight for you!"

Hero saves the princess...... It's a classic story, but stories shouldn't be like this forever.

Princesses can also help heroes and even protect them, don't they?

"Purple ......" Harusa felt the other party's intentions and was moved.

"Thank you. He said from the bottom of his heart.

……

Knowing that Asamiya Zihime was willing to join, Chiaki pursed her lips and put on a bored look.

"Why do you have that expression?"

"It's very boring for a certain princess to make such a simple decision, leave me alone. ”

Harusa was speechless.

Meijia, who also learned about this, looked like she was thinking about something.

The next one to be invited is the star show.

Hariji called to ask him to meet after school, and he was very happy.

For the invitation of the star show, almost ...... No, the results have been foreseen.

"I'd love to!"

On the roof of the building after school, the handsome young man said in a warm tone like agreeing to socialize with the person he liked.

As soon as he heard the other party's first sentence, he replied, not even a second apart.

Although it was expected, it was also really ...... Harusa twitched the corners of his mouth.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, but at least listen to me before answering. ”

"No, you don't. No matter what the seniors are for, or who they want to fight, I'm happy to help, and I'm with you, seniors!" Xingxiu's eyes lit up and he clenched his fists.

It's almost like a scene from a hot-blooded shonen manga, and it's the kind that will be enjoyed by a certain female readership.

"Thank you...... But in my position, I still have to make it clear to you. ”

Harusa began to tell the story.

Xingxiu listened silently.

"I'd love to join!" he replied again, and with a little more realization.

"Don't you think about it for a moment? It's not like joining a game production team. ”

"No, I don't. I said it, I want to ...... with my seniors."

"Stop! I see, don't repeat those words. ”

It's just a matter of listening to it once, and it's a little unbearable to do it again.

"Welcome aboard, Star Show. Harusa looked at each other and said sincerely.

Xingxiu also looked at him, showing a smile that was so happy that it was bright.

……

On the other side, Meijia meets with Zi Ji.

"About Kiyogo...... I wonder what you think, Asamiya-san. ”

"Well, I want to know what you think, Uehara-san. ”

The purple-haired girl smiled at the double-ponytailed girl.

"Let's have a good talk. ”
