"Hah...... It's delicious. ”

In the bright evening sunshine, Xiao Nagi's sofa let out a heart-pounding exclamation.

This is an open-air café in a shopping mall in a commercial area. Sitting at a table outside the room, she was licking a huge ice cream that overlapped three layers. It is an indescribable luxury item decorated with countless sweets and sweets that can no longer be seen in the prototype.

Also sitting around the table are Guru, Yukina and Chonghua, as well as the silver-haired and blue-eyed girl. With a Nordic beauty that is different from that of the Japanese, and a soft atmosphere reminiscent of angels, Natsune Hase, the "saint of junior high school".

"Sure enough. Lulu's ice cream is the best. Especially the mellow taste and light aftertaste. Nagisa is like a child munching on ice cream while happily explaining.

This sister who is too verbose has the nature of not being able to keep her mouth shut even during meals.

(Where are you a food reporter?) Gucheng complained in his heart, and his cheeks were unhappily clutched.

"Really...... Because I said that I had an important request, I thought about what it was, and it turned out that I was asked to help with my luggage. What do you think of people older than you......"

"That's why I'm going to treat you to ice cream as a gift in return. After all, it's your lovely sister's request, so stay with me for shopping or something. If you have so many things with you, you won't be able to visit the store properly. What's more, there is Brother Chonghua to help you. Nagisa pointed to the large number of shopping bags placed at the foot of the ancient city.

Casual clothes and a travel bag for three people brought for the purpose of lodging and training. That's a lot of luggage that can be mistaken for moving.

"I have a travel bag at home. Gu Gu said, pointing to one of the extraordinarily large bags.

This is a brightly colored travel bag that Nagisa bought on a whim in front of the store.

"Hey—" But Nagisa frowned unhappily, "The travel bag at home, could it be the sports bag that Gujo-kun used to use?" Because it smelled of rotten marked vests from the men's basketball department. ”

"It won't stink like this!" replied the ancient city angrily.

Listening to the conversation of such a brother and sister, Yukina couldn't help but laugh softly.

"Really. Nagisa puffed out her cheeks as if she was making trouble, "Besides, Guko-kun is too extravagant. I can be with such cute schoolgirls. If you can go out with Yukina-chan or Natsuon-chan, I don't know how many boys don't care if they are transgendered. Brother Chonghua didn't say much. ”

Chonghua just glanced at the message from someone on his mobile phone, frowned without a trace, and then said, "I can help you, it doesn't matter if I help you anyway." ”

"Anyway, that's an exaggeration...... Is it okay, the boys in the middle school ......" Gucheng groaned as he held his head.

I thought it was a joke, but I was terrified that I couldn't say that it was absolutely impossible. Yukina and Natsune's posture is so beyond the norm. Their beauty is the kind of beauty that makes it so difficult to even get close to them.

"What's the matter, Xia Yin, why do you seem to be a little unmotivated?" Chonghua noticed that he didn't participate in the conversation, just stared blankly at Xia Yin in the distance, and asked her.

Natsune swayed her transparent silver hair and turned her head a little shyly.

"I'm sorry, but I'm happy that the ice cream is so delicious. ”

Chonghua was stunned for a moment, then showed a smile, "If it's delicious, I can bring you again next time." ”

Born as the illegitimate daughter of the former king of Arutikia, she has no knowledge, but inherits all the powerful spiritual power of the royal family. With no memories of his parents, he was raised in a convent as an orphan from a young age. However, even this monastery was lost due to an accident, and it was almost transformed into a monster called a molded angel by his adoptive father, and Natsune's past should have been such unbearable suffering.

Even so, she smiled so happily. Smile with a gentle expression that makes people feel worthy of the name of the saint.

"Then I'll give it to you, I don't really like anything too sweet. ”

Chonghua brought his barely touched ice cream to Xia Yin.

Xia Yin's eyes lit up happily, "So, just take one bite...... Actually, I also care about the strawberry flavor, I said. ”

"Well, that's great. Chonghua looked at Xia Yin with a smile, with an undisguised gentle look in his eyes.

"Ah, Brother Nangong. Ice cream on my face. ”

"Huh?" Xia Yin said, suddenly wiping the corners of Chonghua's mouth with a napkin.

Chonghua felt a line of sight in the dark become a little hot......

(It's really not peaceful...... Chonghua smiled bitterly.

Nagisa gobbled up the rest of the ice cream and pointed to a certain store.

"By the way, go over there!

"Huh!?" Looking at the shop that Nagisa was pointing to, the ancient city and Yukina made a sound almost at the same time.

It is a cute shop layout based on pink. Adorned in the window are models in gorgeous lingerie. No matter how you look at it, it's a lingerie store.

Are you deliberately fixing me, although Gucheng crooked his mouth when he thought so, Yukina and Natsune showed expressions that were slightly aroused. It seems surprisingly good.

"Look, look, it seems to be a limited-time flash sale. Sure enough, you must pay attention to your underwear when traveling. I always feel like it goes well with cabbage-chan. Please leave it to me, too, and I'll choose a beautiful match for you. Ah, Gucheng-kun, please wait outside!"

Chonghua reluctantly spread his hands and said that he would not go.

"Even if you beg me, I won't go in!"

Nagi Sara took Yukina and Natsune's hands, who were still hesitating, and entered the underwear store.

The ancient city looked at their backs and sighed in exhaustion.

Although it was the same thing that she felt tired from being forced to accompany Nagisa shopping, she felt that her mood was higher than usual today. That's how she was looking forward to this trip.

"Honestly, I've had enough" Although he thought so, Nagisa had a reason to be so happy. She was seriously injured by the incident about the demons four years ago, and she was in the hospital for a long time. And the first trip out of the island after being discharged from the hospital - a little too excited can't blame her.

Just don't get too excited and do stupid things. The ancient city, which was immersed in the emotion of his brother's style, raised his head because he noticed a strange man approaching.

He wears a red and white checkered tie and hat, and holds a silver cane in his left hand.

Although he is in his twenties on the surface, he looks like an elderly man and a child.

It was a suspicious man who gave the impression of a magician. He stopped in front of them, put his hand on his hat, and said hello.

"Hello. ”

"Hello. ”

The ancient city also stood up and said hello in return. This is a reflex of being a former physical education person, and at such times, you will unconsciously become polite.

"Hello. Chonghua just sat and nodded, his reaction very cold.

Perhaps surprised by the ancient city's reaction, the man narrowed his eyes and smiled happily.

The eyes were as red as blood, and it was unpleasant.

"That silver-haired girl just now is such a beautiful child. ”

“…… Well, you're right. Chonghua's eyes narrowed slightly, "But you have an aura that makes me unhappy." ”

"Haha...... This friend is too rude to speak, isn't it?" the man's red eyes met Chonghua's eyes.

Suddenly, a terrifying murderous aura emanated from Chonghua's body, and that murderous aura instantly covered the surrounding area of several meters, and even the ancient city felt the piercing killing intent.

"Who are you, what do you want to do to Xia Yin?" Chonghua opened his mouth lightly, his blue eyes were tinged with a touch of gold, and the piercing killing intent pressed towards the man like a wave.

"I'm a seeker of the truth."

“…… Huh, alchemist?"

For the man's unexpected words, Chonghua's eyes were even more murderous.

Immediately after, something churning like a snake was released from the man's right wrist.

It was a metallic glow, a black-silver liquid with a strong stickiness.

"Freeze!" Chonghua stood up and whispered.

The black-silver liquid began to freeze instantly, and soon most of it turned into solid ice.

"You actually play such a little trick in front of me......" Chonghua sneered, "Who gave you the courage!?"
