However, Lévy seems to be fortunate to have a 'physique' that can easily be trusted by others. He knows that there are many people who look different when they grow up than they did when they were children, but in fact, they have not changed as much as ordinary people seem to feel, except that they have matured.

For example, Naha Takamachi has long been a gentle, kind, reliable and stable predecessor in the eyes of the juniors of the Time and Space Administration. But Naye next to Levi is obviously still the stupid Lori who was active and impulsive, and a little clumsy and persistent.

The so-called growth is just a mask for some people. And when he returned home to someone close to him who he knew and trusted, the person who had removed the mask reverted to a completely different appearance from what he had in front of outsiders.

Eve's situation is certainly not suitable for Naha's example, after all, compared to Naye, who has been through countless battlefields and has always had many trusted companions by her side, Eve is mostly alone. And mingling with most of the killers who are still doing all kinds of evil is much more complicated than the normal Space-Time Authority, despite the existence of a certain dark side at the top. Even the darkness within the Authority, the Yagami Tempest has been shielding Naha from it, allowing her to use her expertise on the front line without knowing it. What's more, even though those don't exist at all, Naye is also a strong girl who is extremely rare in Levi's long life.

Compared to the strong Naye, Eve, who seems to be also very strong, is actually quite fragile. It is also the fragile part of the heart that makes Eve need to disguise herself as cold as frost to protect herself.

It's just that even if it's a self-made mask disguised, Eve has been wearing this mask for too long and too long. The long mask has almost blended in with her original appearance. It's not realistic to want to get back to what it used to be. But judging from Eve's performance now, it's not that there is no hope that she will find at least some of the innocence of her childhood.

"That kind of ability in that form is really convenient, yes. But ......"

Lévi hesitated, and it would be strange if he didn't.

Although it has now been verified that the method that Shinobu provided him to solve Eve's 'loss of control' is feasible. But today, the two made an appointment to go to another country for a 'date'. Isn't it a bit bad to get straight to the point before the goal is achieved?

"Don't worry. ”

Eve's face turned a little red again, and her eyes were a little dodgy. I don't know if she remembered the events of the day before yesterday, or remembered that she had said something like this and made a promise like this before the incident happened the day before yesterday.

"Actually, it's okay if you're not in a hurry to walk slowly, I don't have any other reservations today, and it's no problem to accompany you all day. ”

Levi counted the time and said. In fact, it's not all about worrying that Eve will get out of control again. After all, after the last incident, Xiao Ren also specifically assured Levi that after that 'venting', Eve would at least be able to control that form for a long time without accidents.

But just like Lévy thought at the beginning. There's no need to rush and panic about dating. Especially Eve, she usually likes to read romance novels, so she should also know more about the 'conventions' of this kind of thing, right?

But looking at Eve's staring eyes, Levi reluctantly found that it seemed that compared to the atmosphere of the first date after the two confirmed their relationship, Taiyaki had a more important place in her heart...... Levy, who sighed helplessly, could only find a reason to comfort himself. For example, the reason why Eve values taiyaki more is because she was 'well accompanied' by herself the day before yesterday and yesterday night, including this morning, which made her very satisfied. The so-called warmth is only what you want, and it shouldn't be a big problem to say the other way around. Otherwise, to make Levi admit that he is not as good as a taiyaki or something, it will really hit his self-esteem as a man who is quite popular!

"Okay, then you can take me there now, and ask me to check the coordinates of that store and tell you?"

Levi simply didn't want to think about it that much, anyway, it wasn't the first day to know how much Eve liked taiyaki. After all, it was one of the few hobbies that this pure-hearted girl had, and maybe even one of her only two hobbies that could be considered hobbies. Comparing yourself to taiyaki is actually a stupid person, isn't it?

"No, I've already checked the map. ”

Eve took out her phone, and when she unlocked the screen, she saw a map of a well-known phone. The location of the map in the picture is an alley near the store that Levi said he would take her to today. It seems that Eve has even thought about not being discovered, something she never cared about before. And Lévy dared to assure her that she would be careful not to be discovered, and the reason for this was not the choice she made based on secrecy not to cause a riot, as Lévi himself and other paranormal beings hidden in human society do.

Eve must have done some research to avoid causing a riot before choosing that location. However, her ability to worry about riots has nothing to do with not allowing ordinary people to witness strange abilities or anything like that. I'm afraid it's just a thought that if I make a riot and make a mess near the store, or even the police, I can't buy taiyaki and I can lose a lot of money.

"Well, since you're so well prepared, I'll listen to you today. ”

Seeing that Eve is so attached to taiyaki, Levi is amused and happy. After all, people are the kind of life, and the most fearful thing is that there is no fun and no pursuit in life. A person who has his own interests and hobbies and will put in more or less effort for what he likes can feel happy and fulfilled in life. Even some hobbies that are considered not very good or even depraved by ordinary people, such as the otaku girls of Kaguya and Izumi, are much better than people who have no interest in everything and live like walking corpses.

If you don't have an optimistic attitude and something you're interested in, at least someone like Kaguya can't guarantee that she won't have world-weary thoughts. In fact, according to Rezusen's oral 'history', Kaguya has been pursuing death for a long time, constantly trying various ways to make herself who was born with the power of immortality truly die.

Eve has always had a quest to sustain her in the past. But that kind of pursuit has never seen hope, and her life is relatively gloomy. And since coming to Earth, whether it's Eve herself finally finding a place that she can love, or the efforts of everyone around her.
