Paper can't contain fire, especially if your companion is a paper man who can answer all questions.

Gu Ming Dijue was so deeply aware of this.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be quite capable, sister, you were so fast, you jumped directly to the finale, and Lian Lian wants to be impressed by you. ”

Komei Jiju and Natsume, who were sitting in front of them, looked back and forth with a surprised gaze, and chattered and made a noise, making the library that should have been quiet and peaceful like a carnival. This kind of sound effect can be matched alone, and Gu Ming Dijue doesn't know whether to annoy her or praise her for being talented.

"Strictly speaking, I proposed to Jue. ”

Natsume has a quiet atmosphere of reading in the downtown area, he holds a hardcover tome in his hand and reads it carefully, not only does not show the slightest impatience, but also has the extra effort to correct the ignorance of Gu Ming's love, calm as a mountain.

Gu Ming Dijue lowered his head and pretended to read, his pretty face was slightly red. And Gu Ming Jilian also cast a shocked and admiring look at Natsume, and nodded convincingly.

"Natsume, you even know how to strike first, I thought it would take a long, long time for you to open up with your emotional intelligence. ”

Natsume raised his head at this time, he thought seriously for a moment, and said calmly:

"Actually, I only had a sudden enlightenment yesterday. After experiencing the fear of dying, I found that there were many things to cherish, and I also realized many feelings that I didn't know before, as if I had an epiphany. Life is short and the future is uncertain, I should indeed plan for the major events of my life in advance, so as not to leave regrets in vain. ”

"When are you and your sister going to get married?"

"Look at what you think. ”

"Natsume, what about your own wishes?"

Natsume blinked.

"The sooner the better. ”

Gu Mingdijue's face was blushing, and he had already hidden his whole face behind the book.

Yes...... Why should I be executed publicly? And Natsume, you don't want to be in love, you can answer whatever you ask, okay? You spoil her too much, right?

The monster girl scolded Natsume in annoyance.

The reason for all this is actually very simple, and it can even be said that it is full of coincidences.

In the early hours of the morning, Natsume returned to his room after the successful marriage proposal, and it was naturally impossible for Gu Ming to stay overnight, but when this changed, it was inevitable that he couldn't sleep under the ups and downs of his mood, and his mind was filled with Natsume's voice and smile, huh...... It's indeed a smile, and although the smile is forced, it's ...... It's pretty good, too.

Ko Ming Jijue gently rubbed his index finger a few times with the thumbs of both hands, as if the touch at the corner of Natsume's mouth had not yet dissipated.

She smirked quietly.

After a while, the hall master of the Earth Spirit Hall realized his gaffe, and hurriedly sorted out his expression, and he didn't know who to show with a straight face.

When the alarm clock rang and it was already time to get up and freshen up on weekdays, Gu Ming Dijue was shocked to realize that it had come to this time. She wanted to dress up brilliantly with a rare girlish mind, but in the end she thought she was the best looking on weekdays, so she gave up on herself and ran to the library to read a book in the same outfit as usual, and unexpectedly met Natsume, who had long been sitting in her old position. The Paper Man nodded at her as if nothing had happened, and then there was no movement.

Isn't her charm as great as a book?

The monster girl sulked a little, firstly because Natsume didn't say anything, and secondly because he didn't boast about himself. But before she could sulk, Natsume noticed her strangeness.

[Are you in a bad mood, Jue?]

This sentence happened to be heard by the wandering Gu Ming Dilian.

The bear child is full of curiosity, and she knows very well that Natsume will never change his name for others if it were not for accident, so there are only two possibilities for him to call his sister so intimately: either his sister confessed successfully at a time that he didn't know, or Natsume took the initiative to update his name for her for some reason. Either way, it means that the relationship between Natsume and her sister has grown by leaps and bounds, which is a great thing!

So she asked.

And Natsume also described all the ins and outs to Gu Ming's love, and Gu Ming felt red in shame. He skipped the plot where Gu Ming felt sad and cried, otherwise Lord Jue might have been annoyed and angry on the spot.

However, Koaki didn't know what Natsume himself was doing earlier when she was full of Natsume, which was something he rarely hidden.

Natsume's room now temporarily lives next to Gu Ming Dilian's bedroom, and it's just a room away from Gu Ming Jijue. When the young man returned to his room, he went straight to the bathroom, and at some point he took out the surgical instruments again, stripped naked and sat in the bathtub, and disinfected his chest with ease, apparently preparing for surgery.

【Master, you ......】

The scholar on the edge of the bathtub was worried, thinking that Natsume's peace was nothing more than a disguise.

[Don't worry, Scholar. I'm just going to give myself an extra layer of insurance. 】

He raised his left index finger to create a crystal that was the same shape as the Scholar's, only a few smaller circles, and looked at his spirit crystal servant.

[You prepare, I'm going to take out the Astral Circle.] 】

When the scholar heard this, the six arthropods immediately grasped the edges and corners with great force, and the next moment, the crystal between the young men disappeared, replaced by a transparent seed sealed in a colorless ointment.

He stared at the little seed, and he had a plan in mind.

I can't trust the compassion of my other self, and I can't banish him for a while. I must prepare for the worst if he really destroys me in the future......

He twisted the ointment off the surface of the seed.

At the very least, let "Natsume" not die out completely.

The young man slashed his chest.

This time it's just an inconspicuous little thing implanted in the heart, and it's not as bloody as before. Natsume's movements were crisp, and he quickly completed the simple surgical operation, washing away the blood from his body with hot water, erasing all traces. Only the scholar knew what kind of surprise his master had left for the other self who might incur disaster, and in order not to worry others, and more importantly, to ensure the safety of the master, the scholar decided not to let anyone know about it.

Gu Ming Dijue didn't know, Gu Ming Dilian seemed to be hidden in the investigation, but he was not ready to speak. She just jumped up to Natsume's side, leaning on the young man's arm and looking at him with a deer-like wet gaze, obedient and expectant.
