March 5th, 7 p.m

"Hiraga Asato, who was in a bad mood, and Chong, who was thinking about how to refuse Louise's invitation, met in the hallway, and both glanced at each other, and then Hiraga Asato silently chose to retreat

"Louise seems to have been shy tonight" As Takashi passed by him, Hiraga finally couldn't help but say, "Did you do anything to her?" ”

"Are you qualified to ask," Chong Leng said, "Why do you want me to answer this when you fled halfway?"

"Yes! It has nothing to do with me! Hiraga said angrily, and then strode away, "Anyway, Louise likes you!" You are lovers! ”

"Idiot" looked at the figure of Pingga Cairen leaving, and Chong could only use these two words to describe him in the end, "Can't you even see the truth, this kind of person can only collapse to the ground no matter how much he helps, and I don't even have the interest in stepping forward to push him."

"Waste" Chongya turned to leave, still staying in the library for the night today

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― dividing line of parting ways

"Alas~" I don't know if this is the first sigh made by Louise, since she came back from dinner, she has been lying alone on the big bed in the dormitory in a daze, and her heart is full of thoughts about what happened after taking the medicine by mistake

(Chong's attitude towards himself at that time was the same as that of his brother, if he was a talented person, he would definitely be different, he would definitely lick his whole body like a dog) Louise suddenly thought like this (Well, that's right, that dog will definitely do this, it's disgusting, if you do that kind of behavior to him, you will definitely be ashamed and want to die)

"But," Louise asked herself from the depths of her throat, "what would a talented man do?" ”

She didn't know why she was thinking about this, although it was disgusting to think about it, but at this moment, she couldn't help but compare Chongping and He Cairen in her heart

She remembered the wedding that Chong had stopped at Abion, who had stood up for his own happiness

She remembered Hiraga's sacrifice when she was about to be crushed by the stone giant, his persuasion not to give up her life, and the figure of Hiraga scurrying like a warrior in the sky, and the funny way he made her laugh every night by his side

"This kind of comparison is too extravagant," Louise hugged her knees and whispered, Chongping and He Cai are all very good men, they will all become the backbone of the kingdom sooner or later, and then I am afraid that I will only be able to stand by and watch them, right? But now I am actually comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the two here

It's just that she didn't realize that deep down in her heart, there are many more evaluations about Hiraga Cairen than Chong

"But I'm also capable" Louise looked at the wand on the table, she was now the heir of "nothingness", and Her Royal Highness the princess also valued herself, so she would definitely be able to catch up with her two demons, and she now had this confidence

"If I had listened to Valudo, I guess my current situation must have been very dangerous" Louise said to herself, "I have some power now, I don't need you to give it to me, big fool, I have become a traitor"

"Knock knock" There was a knock at the door

"Who?" Louise hurriedly stood up from the bed

"I" Chong's voice came from outside the door

"Oh, come in, the door is unlocked," Louise couldn't help but blush as soon as she heard Chong's voice and remembered what had happened in the last few days

The door was pushed open, and Chong, who had an indifferent face, couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth after seeing her

"You look like you're having a good time," Louise said as she distracted herself

"Because I found a good place," Chong still said in a very characteristic indifferent voice, "I heard that I could swear in front of the water spirits at the lake I went to this morning."

"Yes, that's a well-known legend in our country, that the oath made in front of the water elves can never be violated" Louise nodded, "Didn't the water elves say to worship you, remember to go back there and make an oath?" Are you going to go now? ”

"That's right, do you want to go along" Chong nodded

"Why should I go?" Louise wondered

"Because the content of the oath is about you"

"Huh? And、What does it have to do with me? As if thinking of something bad, Louise's face flushed again, "What does it have to do with me?"

"I want to make a vow that I can protect you for the rest of your life," Chong said in a cold voice

"Oh, you don't need to make such an oath," Louise said softly, "I believe in you."

"No, you must swear in front of the water elves" and "Come with me?" ”

"I was going to sleep, but since you asked for it, then I'll go with you," Louise blushed and stood up, "Come back as soon as possible."

"Of course, I'll be back soon" I don't know if it's an illusion, Louise always felt that Chong's eyes were a little strange, and there seemed to be some dust in the already dark pupils

After opening the door, the two of them met Hiraga Saito who was wandering around in the aisle

"Louise? Esteem? Is it going to go out in the middle of the night when the third watch is dressed like this? Hiraga was surprised

"That's right, we're going to Lake Lagudorian," Chong replied Louise "do you want to go along?"

"No, I've heard about it too, and Kishu said that there are water spirits there, and no one who makes a promise in front of her is allowed to go back," Hiraga hesitated, "Do you want to go there and make an oath?" ”

"That's right, I'm going to make a vow to protect Louise for the rest of my life," Chong said coldly, "Are you going or not"

"I see, then I won't go," Hiraga smiled bitterly, "because I might break the contract."

"I'm well aware of that," Chong grabbed Louise's hand and turned to leave, "then you're waiting here"

"Chong, let go of your hand," Louise said shyly

"What I said at that time was not a lie" Chong glanced back at Hiraga Ayato, "It's not false at all, because I really love you" (inexplicably there is a feeling that something is wrong)

Hiraga left in silence, and Louise grew even more shy

"Let's go, then," Chong took Louise's hand and continued walking, "the lake view is more beautiful at night."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― the dividing line of grief

"Why do you say such things in front of me," Hiraga said with a wry smile as he walked down the hallway, "Isn't it enough to laugh at me once?" ”

"Yes! I know I'm not worthy of Louise! I don't even have the courage to swear in front of the water spirits! Hiraga smacked the pillar hard, "But! But I like Louise too! ”

"What are you doing, why are you still going crazy here in the middle of the night," a somewhat weak voice came from behind

"Who!" Hiraga Cairen, who was in a bad mood, turned his head, and standing behind him was Chong, who was covering his abdomen for some reason, and his face was still a little pale

"Chong? Why haven't you gone yet" Pinghe Cairen Angry and Uneven Road "Don't care about my feelings, hurry up and swear in front of the water elves!" By the way, go with Louise to see the lake view! ”

"What stupid are you talking about" Chong said after taking a few breaths, "Fukai of the clods attacked me in the library just now, and now she has run away, I suspect she must have an accomplice"

"Well, I saw you in front of Louise's room just now!" Hiraga said hurriedly

"What?!" Chong's eyes widened, "What's the matter!" By the way, you just said that Louise was taking someone away from watching the lake with Louise?! ”

"Yes! A guy like you just said he was going to go to Lake Lagudorian with Louise and swear that I was a fool! That person's attitude is so different from yours! Only then did he realize that something was wrong, but he hugged his head and shouted, "Chong, you won't say such straightforward words at all!" ”

"Go and bring your sword, I'll wait at the gate of the academy" Chong was already on his way outside the school in an instant, "Those guys must be assassins sent by Abion, they already have information that Louise has the power of nothingness!" ”

"Yes!" Hiraga rushed to Louise's room, then grabbed Drew Fringo, who was hanging on the wall, and ran to the school gate

Ten minutes later

"You idiot! How could I possibly say such disgusting words! Even Chong couldn't help but curse after listening to Hiraga Akito's retelling, "What the hell are you putting in your head!" ”

"But I was hit too hard!" Hiraga retorted, "I...... I'm so useless anyway! ”

"I don't even have the idea of beating you now, because it's useless to beat you" Chong Leng said "A person who admits that he is useless can't even be regarded as self-aware, he can only be regarded as a coward"

"I'm a coward compared to you," Hiraga said, tightening his grip on the reins

"Compared to me? That's right, it's useless to compare you to me," admitted this without hesitation, "but why do you have to compare with me?" Why don't you compare yourself with those ordinary soldiers? If you are really a coward, what is the mage you defeated, the dragoon you knocked down in the sky? ”

"Don't compare with me, just like I never compare with the real strong" Chong Leng said "There is no comparison if the difference is too big, that will only make people lose self-confidence, unless you have a reason to beat him, don't just try to catch up with others"

"Chong"

"Coward!" Chong suddenly scolded in a low voice: "Even a woman doesn't dare to rob others, what else do you say?!" Will you lose your judgment because of a word from an imposter?! How far do you want to be looked down upon! ”

"You overestimate me too much, and at the same time underestimate yourself too much" Chong looked at him indifferently "With strength, you don't need to be confused, you have stood in a more advanced place than most people, sooner or later, she will need the power in your hands"

"Chong, you can't be an imposter too, right?" Hiraga was surprised and said, "You seem to have suddenly become a senior in the hot-blooded manga."

"So I don't read the manga at all, what do you think is your own business" Chong said indifferently, "Hold your sword tightly, there can't be only one person involved in the next battlefield"

"Show her the courage to show her, I can tell you now very clearly that she will definitely be your lover"
