Chapter Twenty-Four: Sprouts

"Please come in"

Kyoko calmed down the panic when she first met, and tidied up her dress a little,

In fact, it is to straighten the crumpled pajamas and pull together some messy long hair. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Thank you"

Xiao Meiyan followed Kyoko's invitation and approached the house,

The moment he passed by, Kyoko immediately smelled a faint scent of lavender,

Coupled with Xiaomei's red face, it is obvious that she has just come out of the bath,

Kyoko, who lives a very casual life, feels pressure for the first time, and for no reason I don't want to be looked down upon by Xiao Meiyan,

"You sit and wait a minute, I'll go back to the room and change my clothes, so you can see a smile"

"It's nothing, I'm sorry to disturb you"

But Kyoko, who returned to the room, was worried,

The neutral private clothes are too formal, and the dresses that Kirino sent will not be worn even if they are killed.

Picking and picking in the closet,

In the end, I changed into a white fine knit sweater that exposed my collarbone and a long skirt that almost dragged down to my ankles.

I didn't have time to take care of my hair, so I had to use a pearl hair band to hang my long hair in a strand on my chest

These are still home clothes and headwear sent by Apricot's mother.,It's said that it's the first choice for single women to rest at home.,

At first, Kyoko felt that this combination was a bit of an old Obasan's feeling,

Fortunately, I'm not very old, and wearing this body just looks a little mature and gentle.

It doesn't seem too formal or casual

But when Kyoko brought out the teacup set from the kitchen and poured tea for Xiao Meiyan, she could clearly feel that the latter's mood fluctuated slightly.

"I ...... Do you have flowers on your face? ”

Being stared at intently, although there is no malice, Kyoko is still uncomfortable

"It's rude"

Xiao Meiyan picked up the cup and looked out the window,

Kyoko, who was sitting on the opposite side of the sofa, also held the cup in both hands, and "whew~" to blow the tea cold,

For a moment no one spoke, and the not-so-spacious living room fell into a quiet silence.

Xiao Meiyan didn't seem to retract her gaze from the window,

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room, you can see the sky with moonlight and the petals of cherry blossoms drifting by out of nowhere.

The morning breeze penetrated through the half-open windows and doors and gently stirred the white curtains, it was a refreshing morning.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a daze when I came to the door without permission, forgive me"

"No, no, can you tell me you were just reminiscing? What makes you feel relieved? And you call me when you enter the door...... Xiaomei night? ”

"You have a lot of questions, can I answer them selectively?"

"Listen to me"

"Among the people I know, there is also a person who is exactly like me, who takes care of me a lot, but disappears quietly, trying to find her without any clues, as if this person never existed"

Xiao Meiyan stared at the slowly rising water vapor in the teacup, and her ethereal tone was full of too much emotion,

Kyoko has never seen a peer with such rich and delicate feelings, is she really only a teenager?

From the first time I met, there are only a few words of dialogue between the two sides, but the meaning of the words is very interesting

And Kyoko can feel that Xiao Meiyan looks at herself as if she is looking at another person,

Maybe there's some connection to that 'she'......

"That's right, then, are you still looking for her? What is her relationship with you? ”

"I used to look for it like crazy, but now I only have a little thought left, claiming to be my sister, but I guess it's made up, it's a bit old, and I'm no longer hopeful, so I can't tell what the relationship is"

"And what would you do if you did find her?"

Xiao Meiyan took a sip of warm flower tea, pursed her thin lips and put down the teacup, and shook her head after a while

"I used to fantasize about a lot of scenes and plans to meet, such as slapping her or asking her why, but now, I think it's the same as us, sitting together over tea and catching up."

"Well, it doesn't seem to be bad," Kyoko suddenly felt a sense of relief

"What about you? Can you tell us your story? Humanoid witches are still extremely rare."

Kyoko stiffened when she heard the action of pouring tea here, and almost sprinkled it on Xiao Meiyan

"So you're here to kill me?"

The heart that had just been put down was raised to the throat again

"If you don't answer my question truthfully, maybe I'll think about it."

With a serious expression but without the slightest murderous intent, Kyoko couldn't cry or laugh,

His eyes rolled and rolled, and finally he spread his hands helplessly

"We don't trust each other enough to tell the truth freely, and I don't want to sit idly by with the same reservations you just answered my question, but can I answer your question as selectively as you do?"

"Then it depends on your sincerity" Xiao Meiyan put her hands on her folded thighs, and leaned on the sofa for a long time

This attitude is too arrogant! Let me refuse! ”

"That's right, then tell me everything you know, or can I ask you to die again?"

"Hey, is this a begging attitude? I'm going to be angry if I do this again! me or something......"

"I lied to you" Xiao Meiyan suddenly interrupted Kyoko, who was excited, and said something shocking in a serious manner

"You guy......" Kyoko felt her blood pressure rise instantly

Xiao Meiyan, who feels like she never laughs, faces Kyoko's anger and actually shows a cute smile like a child

"I'm sorry, it's too similar, so I can't help but take a little revenge for the bad joke she made with me when we first met, which almost scared me into having a heart attack."

Maybe it's never been so happy to laugh or is it revenge?

Xiao Meiyan smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her happiness and joy overflowing

"......" What else can Kyoko say, seeing Xiao Meiyan smiling so happily, this pot can only be carried back

"It's getting late, I have to go back," he said, getting up and leaving

"Well, wait, just go? From the beginning, you said that Xiao Mei Ye is the person you are looking for, right? I'm the object of your suspicions, so I'm here to confirm today? ”

Kyoko's eyes quickly grabbed the sleeve of Xiaomei Yan, who was about to leave

"Yes, but not quite, for me it doesn't matter if you're the person I'm looking for......"

Xiao Meiyan didn't turn around, but silently lowered her head and hid her expression in the shadow of her own sea

“…… It's enough to make sure she's okay. ”

After saying that, he gently broke free of Kyoko's hand, quickly put on his shoes and left Kyoko's house.

Even if you can't see your face, just by listening to the voice, you can know that Xiao Meiyan is forcing a smile just now,

I'm trying to suppress my uncontrollable emotions.

Kyoko was stunned for a long time, recalling the bits and pieces when she met Xiao Meiyan,

found that the more memories filled her mind, and finally understood what the feelings in Xiao Meiyan's eyes were so thick that they couldn't be dissolved

That's love, endless love after losing a best friend,

What exactly did she go through? Why is there a feeling of deplorability?

Kyoko clutched her collar and felt the warmth in her chest

"Tell me, what can I do to help her?"

……

On the other side, Xiao Meiyan, who walked out of the door of the apartment,

looked at the sleeves that were pulled apart by Kyoko in a daze,

The wrist was very unharmoniously wrapped around a tattered red ribbon,

The complicated eyes finally turned into a knowing smile.

―――――― Dividing Line――――――

"Woo, two witch candidates, a combination of a juvenile demon and an ordinary person for a summer vacation, it's really leisurely"

In the pavilion in the church courtyard, the Goth is eating senbei and drinking coffee while reading the report

It's rare that Kyoko didn't complain about the strange way of goths drinking coffee with senbei,

With one hand on his cheeks, he stared blankly at the floating clouds in the sky

"It's a real trouble to have ordinary people between them, tsk," Goth bit down on the fairy shell and pouted

“……”

"Your demons also say that they are not weak, I believe it" Goth drank a cup full of almost sugar,

“……”

"How can you quietly bypass so many prohibitions on witch candidates in the church and find your apartment, what is this?!" The Goth seems to be annoyed that the tight defense mechanism has not done anything in the slightest

“……”

found that Kyoko was still holding her cheeks to watch the floating clouds, and the goths came out angrily.

stretched out his five fingers and shook them in front of Jingzi's eyes, and found that the other party was still wandering in the world.

Even no matter how loud the call was, he didn't respond, it was like losing his soul.

The goth was heartbroken, and put his hand on the soft flesh somewhere in Kyoko and grabbed it hard

"Bang-knock-!"

The loud slap was followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground,

The sound was so loud that it startled the birds in the courtyard

"Last Words"

Kyoko coldly squeezed out two words from between her teeth,

The black keys between his fingers flashed with cold light and rested on the neck of the goth, who was still lying on the ground

"You still have room and potential for development, trust me!" Goth looked serious and serious

"Finished?" blackened, the expressionless Kyoko blackened,

His long hair was windless like a snake, and his eyes were faintly red

I felt as if I had gothic out, so I hurriedly talked nonsense in a hurry

"Look at the stupidity you just now, you must be thinking that someone is thinking of forgetting yourself! I can't wake you up, so I have to use this kind of indiscriminate method, you and I want to! ”

There is no draft on the face of the gold, and the appearance of righteous words is simply impeccable, but a discerning person can know that it is pretending at a glance.

But Kyoko really delayed a bit, and even the blackening disappeared

This time it was Goth's turn to be surprised, and he got up from the ground and looked at Kyoko who turned his head in amazement

If you don't object to it, it's an admit, and even the goths themselves didn't expect to be guessed,

But to Kyoko's surprise, Goth did not sneer as usual, but showed a helpless wry smile

"Really...... Unwillingly, there really is someone who will make you put away your wings? Hmph, but even if you leave the group, there is still a contract between us......"

"What kind of mess is this?!" The more Kyoko listened, the more wrong it became, and the emotional goth thought she had reached the spring period?

"Aren't you having a crush on a certain male god?"

"When did you get the illusion that I was in a relationship?"

"Then who were you thinking about just now?"

"Target Xiao Meiyan, chatted with her for a few words, obviously an enemy but a little relieved"

"So you admit that you were too engrossed in thinking about it just now, and you were embarrassed to do something to me before you dared to look at me?"

"Less narcissistic, is there a way you call people?"

"I'm relieved, I'll just say, how can a guy like you, who never considers the feelings of others, be selfish......"

"Die!"
