For a moment, Chihaya felt that the person in front of her felt very unkind to her.

Even the sneer on the corner of his mouth seemed to be impregnated with threat, like a knife that had been unsheathed, with a piercing coldness.

The man standing in front of her quickly switched back to a gentle smile.

Although the feeling faded quickly, it still left its mark on Chihaya's mind.

This feeling is combined with what he just said......

Even if you don't have to ask, you know that Big Brother Gu Ying should hate elves very much.

And what she didn't expect was ...... It was actually the space earthquake caused by Shixiang that killed Gu Ying's eldest brother and Xiaojin's parents......

"My mother is a kindergarten teacher and my father is a medical researcher...... While they were still alive........ But I don't know how many years ago it was. ”

He spoke softly, as if to hide his sadness and said in a flat tone.

Gu Ying's eyes gradually narrowed, looking at Chihaya.

"Do you still want to listen? If so, I'll talk about it......... I know she's a good friend of yours, so you don't want to hear about it, do you?"

Gu Ying smiled faintly, and she couldn't hear what kind of emotions her voice contained.

As soon as these words came out, the air suddenly became quiet, and only the sound of slow-boiling water kept coming from the boiler.

"I ...... To listen. ”

After a long time, when Gu Ying thought that Chihaya wanted to take this inappropriate topic with silence, she spoke.

"If you still don't listen to it here... That would be irresponsible. ”

Chihaya straightened his gaze and met a pair of beautiful brown eyes with his sharp black eyes, which surprised Gu Ying slightly.

At this moment, Gu Ying realized that the girl standing in front of her was not just a fragile woman, her soul and will were strong.

He had seen many women in the workplace, some of them were resolute, some of them were fragile, and of course men were too.

Most women don't like to face problems head-on. This is the conclusion that Gu Ying has summed up by himself from his many years of experience in society.

Although such an idea is rude, he does not believe that women can be stronger than men.

So he has always taken care of Xiaojin as a younger brother rather than a younger sister.

So he has always regarded all Chihaya, who behaves no different from ordinary women, as a girl.

But now it seems that the curse of the elves' sexual transformation did not make her suffer from the vices of female pampering and avoidance, and that strong side has not been erased by the gender transition.

Perhaps, only in this way can she/he be able to save those elves and the humans who were killed by them.

What a funny girl.

"Okay, then let you hear my story."

Glancing at the tonic soup that would take some time to cook, Gu Ying let out a laugh.

For the first time, he felt no longer heavy when he brought up the topic.

In addition to the ability to seal the elves, perhaps, the girl in front of her has even more incredible power......

That's the kind of care and care that people, even ordinary humans who aren't elves, will have a crush on her.

Very ordinary, yet most magical.

A heart for others.

"Hmm!"

didn't realize that her words made others have a new impression of her, and Chihaya responded.

Looking straight into his eyes seriously, and the expression of quiet and ready to listen, Chihaya looked a little persistent and simple cuteness in his eyes.

Holding back the desire to stretch out the hand that was rubbing on her head, Gu Ying awakened the past that had been placed in her long memory.

"My parents' death date was September 17th, almost ten years ago.........

As she spoke, Gu Ying walked out of the kitchen to the living room.

He walked over to the turned off TV and picked up a small picture frame that was placed next to it.

It was an old photograph with faded colors, and the pixel was very poor. The scene in the photograph has been blurred.

Barely visible, it was a picture of a couple holding a small baby.

Although the baby in the photograph may not have an exact memory of the time, he is now old enough to be independent, but he still uses the photograph as a medium and enters the memory.

The baby has grown up, and his parents have left the world.

"At that time, the pre-earthquake wave detection of space earthquakes and the development of bomb shelters were not as good as they are now. Although it is not completely impossible to detect space earthquakes, due to the incomplete development of technology, the time between the discovery and the actual occurrence of space earthquakes is much shorter than it is now, and people often do not have time to escape from the scope of damage to the bomb shelter. ”

put down the photo, and the sadness has slowly worn out a lot in ten years.

He seems to have been able to accept that the couple who gave him life would not return to this home.

No...... As early as ten years ago, he forced himself to accept it in order to allow his younger siblings to return to the normal track of life as soon as possible.

Shoulder the responsibility of this family and do your filial piety for the parents who have left.

"At that time, air-raid shelters were not yet widespread, and there were only three in the entire Tiangong City: a business center, a municipal library, and an administrative area. Luckily, our home was not far from the bomb shelter in the commercial center, and I quickly sent Xiaojin and Ichinoxiang over. ”

He spoke, and Chihaya listened.

His intently eyes never left him, not at all like listening to a story about someone who had nothing to do with him.

She's like this... He found it very attractive......

"That year, when I was graduating from college and looking for a job, I picked up Ichino Xiang, who had just returned from elementary school, and was about to buy dinner when Ichinoxiang had just returned from high school, when the alarm went off."

"I immediately took them to the bomb shelter, but I didn't see my parents who were supposed to be there."

"Now that I think about it, it really wasn't a wise decision..."

Gu Ying exhaled lightly and sighed a little.

"Because no one answered their phones, I rushed to the kindergarten where my mother taught."

Gu Ying's words reminded Chihaya that she seemed to have done such a thing.

She also rushed out of the shelter because she mistakenly thought that Kotori had not taken refuge in the bomb shelter but had run to the restaurant.

Gu Ying continued his story.

"The kindergarten is not far from the bomb shelter, so I quickly ran to ......... I saw my mother and my father, who was there for some reason, running out of the school with two little children on their backs...... It seems that in order to help the other children evacuate, they did not immediately go to the bomb shelter. ”

"Those four kids seem to be the last people in the kindergarten...... My mother and father, carrying their crying little children on their backs, waved at me when they saw me appear. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Ying closed her eyes tightly and bit her lower lip hard with her teeth.

"At that moment, I was really relieved from the bottom of my heart...... When you see that they are all right, they can run towards me. ”

"But things always happen very suddenly."

After speaking, Gu Ying paused.

Let the silence last for half a minute before he slowly raised his head.

As if he already knew what he was going to say, Chihaya's delicate face unconsciously showed a little sadness.

"Just when I thought I could feel at ease, the ground shook and the air became extremely heavy. I couldn't control my body and lost consciousness. ”

"When I opened my eyes, the kindergarten was in ruins, devoured by the schoolhouse, the four children, and my parents............ All that was left was the empty hollow and the "princess" standing in front of me with a knife alone. ”

The atmosphere was quiet again, and he saw that the eyes of the woman in front of him were full of sadness and sorrow, and there were some water marks at the corners of her eyes.

With his adorable appearance, he couldn't help but reach out and touch her head.

He understood that in fact, there was nothing wrong with the "princess", that is, the night sword god Shika, and the spatial earthquake was not caused by the will of the elves themselves.

But after learning everything, he felt pity and hated them at the same time... No, he just hated the elf who took his parents.

"Later, it was Mr. Kamino who rescued me......... It took some time to learn about the elves and space shocks, and then joined the organization on the condition that Ratatosk promised to help take care of Xiaojin and Ichinoxiang. ”

It was because of his gratitude to the deputy commander that he forced himself to let go of his hatred and rely on the agency job to save the elves and reduce the space shock.

By chance, ten years later, Xiaojin became classmates with the elves who caused the spatial earthquake that caused their parents to die.

This was one of the reasons why he didn't want Jin to know about the elves and Ratatosk.

He was worried that his sister would not be able to return to her normal life if she found out.........

………………

“……… Well, that's the end of the story. ”

Removing his hand from the top of the person in front of him, Gu Ying said with a smile.

Rescuing the elves can save more humans, so even if you hate them, you must try to redeem them.

Now he has found what he should do, and he will no longer be blinded by love and hatred.

But what can really help the world...... It's just the seemingly weak but resolute girl in front of him.

Looking at the cute little face that was sad and slightly wrinkled, he didn't know what the reason was, but he felt that he was not so uncomfortable.

There's a magical way about her sincerity.

I hope that this sincerity can make the world a more beautiful place.

At the same time as he withdrew his hand, the girl with tears in the corner of her eye suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

But she didn't speak immediately.

Gu Ying let Chihaya grab the hem of his clothes and didn't ask her what she wanted to do.

Silence echoed in the air for a few moments.

As if feeling embarrassed, Chihaya slowly let go of the hand that was grabbing the corner of Gu Ying's clothes.

"That......... Well... Brother Gu Ying is a very good brother. ”

It's been a long time, and some poor words have squeezed out these words.

One sentence made Gu Ying stunned and couldn't help laughing.

"Xiao Wuhe, do you want to comfort me?"

While laughing loudly, Gu Ying reached out and put it on Chihaya's head and rubbed it twice.

"Hmm..."

Chihaya, who was unprepared, didn't take precautions and lowered his head.

It made her feel like she was being petted like a dog......

Why is everyone like this......

"I ......"

Chihaya spoke, but she was immediately interrupted by another shrill voice.

The cooking timer made a ticking noise, drawing Chihaya and Koei's attention away.

The two of them subconsciously looked at the source of the sound, and saw that the pot of boiling tea and the apple-shaped rice timer were going off, and at the same time remembered that they had forgotten about such a person.

"Nishiki!"

Coincidentally, Chihaya and Koei shouted out the name of someone they had forgotten at the same time.

"Brother Gu Ying, I'll take the jujube tea to Xiaojin first."

Chihaya walked over to the stove and turned off the fire and scooped the hot tea soup from the pot into the bowl that was set aside.

Although it was a little rude to leave without finishing the words, Chizao was more concerned about Xiaojin's current situation after thinking about it.

"Okay, please help take care of Xiaojin...... I don't know much about that. ”

Gu Ying nodded at Chihaya in response, and picked up the bag of red beans placed on the corner of the table.

"Xiao Jin feel free to tell me if you need anything, and I'll be in the room on the left."

Gu Yingbang, who was carrying the soup, pushed open the living room door, and then pointed to the wooden sliding door next to it.

"I see."

Nodding in a hurry, Chihaya walked up the stairs with jujube tea.

……………………

"Is Nishiki okay?"

Gently opening the door of the room, Chihaya took the end plate and saw the fragrance of Nishiki's belly that had fallen asleep and was attaching something like a sticker to Nishiki's belly.

"Well, I gave her painkillers and fell asleep."

Glancing at Chihaya, who had just walked into the room, Kazawa nodded to Chihaya as a greeting.

Nishiki didn't know when he had moved from the bed on the floor to the bed, and his sleeping face was a little pale.

"That's for Xiaojin, right?"

Pointing to the end plate in Chihaya's hand, Kasawa asked.

"Well, but Jin is asleep now, don't wake her up......... I'll take it back downstairs first. ”

Chihaya responded, and at the same time wanted to exit the room, but her plan was stopped by Kazawa.

"Wait, put it here."

Kasawa put the last sticker on the back of Nishiki's side waist and covered her with a quilt. Then she pulled out the same sticker from her luggage and walked over to Chihaya.

"A small product of the Ratatosk technology that allows the object to be attached to maintain the temperature."

After a brief explanation, Kasawa tore off a piece of sticker and stuck it on the bowl.

After pasting it, she looked at the soup with the fragrance of tonic in the bowl, and stared at Chihaya's face for a while.

"What's wrong?"

A little hairy from the cold gaze, Chihaya asked.

How does it feel like she has something to say?

"Nothing."

Two seconds later, Kasawa retracted her gaze and took the plate that Chihaya was holding and placed it at the foot of the bed.

Chihaya also came in again from outside the room.

"Xiaojin's painkillers are less effective, and they are more sleep-inducing ingredients...... She is now in a comatose state and will soon be woken up in pain. ”

Walking to the head of Nishiki's bed, Kasawa lifted the bangs on his forehead with one hand, brushed his hair with the other, and then lowered his head and folded his two foreheads.

Although it is not the most accurate way, it can quickly and effectively compare the other person's body temperature.

Kazawa didn't seem to mind the distance that seemed to be attached to each other at all, but it was too close for Chihaya to look at the two faces that were almost together.

After a while, Xiang Ze opened his closed eyes and took the position of feeling the other party's body temperature.

"Wait until she wakes up before giving her a drink."

After confirming that the temperature of Nishiki's body was normal, Kazawa said.

“……… It's really hard for girls. ”

Chihaya also came to Nishiki, who didn't have a very good face, and sat down, and sighed.

Stretched out a slender white jade hand and stroked Nishiki's face.

Xiaojin's appearance is very beautiful, although lively but with a hint of sharpness, very similar to Brother Gu Ying.

Maybe it was because she had just heard what Brother Gu Ying said, and now she looked at Xiaojin and felt a little pity in her heart.

The enthusiastic and bold man now looks so vulnerable.

"Aren't you a girl now?"

didn't stop Chihaya's movements, and Kasawa let out a cool complaint on the side.

This sentence caused Chihaya to be a little funny.

"yes, but I'm not a real girl~"

In response jokingly, Chihaya slowly withdrew the hand that was placed on Nishiki's face.

She noticed that Kasawa was looking at her again.

The bewitching phoenix eyes kept going back and forth on her face and upper body.

In the end, I don't know what Xiang Ze's plan was, she actually pinched her hand on her chest.

"Huh?!"

Chihaya, who was startled by the sudden move, subconsciously bounced off her body, but a strange force from Kazawa's hand on her chest stopped her somewhere.

That feeling...... She also felt it on origami.

It's like a sudden increase in pressure in the air that restricts the movement of the body.,The ability that the random domain has.。

The pressure didn't last long, and it quickly disappeared after Kasawa rubbed her breasts twice.

"What the hell do you want to do?!"

With his hands on his chest and shrunk into the corner of the room, Chihaya was as tight as a fried cat.

“………… (You react and say you're not a girl)"

Speechlessly, he glanced at Chihaya, who was huddled with the books in the corner, and Kasawa still didn't say the complaint in his heart.

She looked at Chihaya's hand again, as if she was thinking about the soft touch.

"Just wanted to see if it was different from mine... Just kiss it. ”

The palm of her hand was empty, and the feeling just now made her feel no different from the ordinary.

Sure enough, the power of the elves is unimaginable......

"Hmm... You...!"

His face was red by Kazawa's words and the empty action, and Chihaya pointed at each other incoherently.

But she was responded with an extremely serious face.

"If you really plan to attack the elves, it's better to throw that idea away."

Since the only person who didn't know was already asleep, Kazawa had no fear to say what should be considered a secret.

"Huh?"

Chihaya seemed at a loss for what to do with the atmosphere that had changed too abruptly.

It was too sudden, and she didn't realize what Xiang Ze was referring to.

"Male consciousness...... If you're obsessed with that kind of thing, you'll never be able to play a good woman. ”

Kazawa's expressionless face looked at Chihaya seriously.

Chihaya suddenly became a little confused.

I don't know what to say.

“……… This is my personal recommendation. ”

After a long time, Xiang Ze made up this sentence.

“…………”

Please, this kind of focus will you say it sooner next time!?

It made her think it was some serious question!

And abandon the male consciousness, what will she do when she turns back into the priesthood?!

Abandon the feminine consciousness?!

"But... If you really want them to like you, put away that half-tone thought. Women who like the same sex can be very sensitive. ”

Seeing that Chihaya was speechless, Kasawa continued.

Chihaya suddenly noticed that Kazawa's words had become more and more.

It seems that only when talking about a specific topic will Xiang Ze be willing to say more.

Otherwise, most of them are usually done within ten words.

However, Kasawa will talk more about what topics, and Chihaya hasn't figured it out yet.

"Xiangze-san, how can you know this kind of thing so well?"

Driven by curiosity and the desire to find something to say, Chihaya asked.

She wanted to ask Kazawa why she was so aware of the task that Kotozawa had given her, because she had heard Kotozawa say that the personnel of the combat department usually didn't care much about internal affairs except for training.

But the response she received was far from the answer to the question she had imagined......

"Because I have experience."

Kasawa said something that confused Chihaya.

"What experience?"

Chihaya asked suspiciously.

She had a feeling that she couldn't connect the conversation, how could this kind of strategy task have anything to do with experience......

She can't have attacked elves before, ......?

"I've made it so clear, and I'm still asking...... Female / gay experience. (no typo)"

Kasawa also looked at her with a strange expression.

I see.

It's no wonder that she thinks that Kazawa's words are very similar to the analysis points on the "How to Gradually Cultivate Friendship with Girls and Beyond Ordinary Friendships" given to her.

………………

It's big! What the hell did she just hear!?

She. Arrive. Bottom. All. Listen. Arrive. Finish. Some. Miscellaneous. Yes. Yes!!!!!

"Xiangxiang Xiangzawa...... What did you just say?"

Chihaya, who couldn't be calm, stammered very exaggeratedly and looked at Kazawa with wide eyes.

A question popped up in her mind, that is, could it be that it was actually a very dangerous thing for her to stay in this room right now?

Xiaojin's previous performance has already made her a little ...... Smell a rat.

And now there's another guy coming out (mimic).

……… No, she was a boy before this! Why should she worry about this!

But it's not right to think about it... Isn't Kazawa-san dating with Fujino-senpai? I went to buy underwear today.

How can that be someone who likes the same sex?

Chihaya felt like her head was a little messy right now.

"Don't talk about it......"

Under Chihaya's chaotic questioning, Kasawa suddenly looked away for some reason, and his mouth bulged out as if it were awkward.

This made Chihaya, who had always had a cold impression of her, feel a little incredible.

"Keep asking... Will be shy. ”

Kasawa showed her girlish expression that completely ruined the cold image.

Although the muscles on his face did not change much, his cheeks flushed slightly, and his phoenix eyes moistened a little.

"Yes, I'm sorry!"

After thinking about it, I realized that I had been forcing others to talk about sex/orientation.

Chihaya, who knew that he was wrong, hurriedly apologized.

But...... To be honest, she still cares a lot about what Xiangzawa's "experience" is.

But it's hard to ask now......

Maybe it's a subconscious act that can't hide his curiosity.,Chihaya held back the thought of wanting to ask.、On the other hand, Kazawa and Nishiki who was lying motionless on the bed went back and forth.。

“……………”

Xiang Ze reluctantly turned his face back to the super obvious curiosity of the baby, and sighed as if he was nothing.

"I can't hold back just when I see a beautiful girl..."

Pushing her glasses, Kasawa said something that the serious expression on her face was unimaginable.

She suddenly lowered her seat, allowing her hands to touch the ground as well......

Slowly crawling towards her.

That posture would make her fall into Chihaya's sight in places she shouldn't see, and the whole atmosphere became abnormal......

This action reminded Chihaya...... Driven by a certain stupid trio, Toka had done the same before......

Wrong! Now that's not the point!

How did Kazawa-san suddenly turn into a beast?!

"That, that...... Kao, Kazawa-san...? I—I'm not a girl...?"

Chihaya retreated in panic and waved his hand with a blue face to indicate that he was not interested.

However, Kasawa completely ignored Chihaya's persuasion and continued to approach Chihaya.

The two of them advanced and retreated, and it was not until Chihaya felt that her back had reached the wall of the room that she realized that she had no way out.

What kind of weird god unfolding this is!

Xiang Ze's face was already less than ten centimeters away from her, and she could smell the other party's breath all close.

The ruddy corners of her mouth with a thin layer of lip balm made Chihaya unable to take her eyes off, and at a loss, she simply closed her eyes tightly.

"Poof."

As her vision darkened, she heard a sneer.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that the corners of the cold beauty's mouth curved into an arc that she didn't know if it was a smile or not.

Seeing that fox smile, Chihaya instantly realized that the other party was just joking with her.

Shame and shame filled her head.

She's actually being teased!

She thought that the other party was really going to do something.

"Your reaction is really cute, I can't tell it's not a girl."

The person who covered his mouth made a joke that he didn't know if it was a bully.

Chihaya glared aggrievedly.

She felt like she was being bullied/bullied.

"I'm just kidding, you don't need to be on guard like that."

Looking at Chihaya, who was hiding in the corner and shrunk into a ball, and stared at her with watery eyes with a red face, she seemed to have a peaceful smile for a moment.

However, that gentle expression only flashed for a moment, and soon changed back to that cold face.

If it weren't for the fact that that the expression was so different from usual, it would have been impressive, and Chihaya would have thought it was his own delusion.

Why do you have to keep a straight face all the time? It's nice to laugh at.

I think the second leaf was like this all day long, and he didn't like to laugh all day long.,But recently it's become a lot more childish and cute.。

"Kazawa-san, is the girl/gay experience you said also a joke?"

Since they were all teased by the other party, Chihaya simply asked about his curiosity unceremoniously.

His eyes subconsciously went back and forth on Jin and Xiangze.

"It's not ......... That was a few years ago, and it was for a school girl who was two years younger than me. ”

Spit out the cold air, Xiang Ze no longer had the playful and naughty appearance just now, and changed back to the usual serious and calm squad leader.

"It's not a lesson to look back on...... It's just when I wasn't sensible before...... Something stupid was done. ”

Kasawa didn't seem to have any intention of continuing after saying this. She was as quiet as a doll as usual, staring at Chihaya.

As if to signal her not to pursue it anymore.

"But... Kazawa-san, aren't you dating Senior Fujino now? How could it be... Girls ........."

Kasawa stopped halfway through his words in a place that made people feel extremely curious, and Chihaya was curious to ask but didn't know whether to open his mouth or not, so he could only change the question.

She is still full of incomprehension of Kazawa's thoughts.

The more the other party talked about her, the more chaotic she became, she was dating senior Fujino, but she had a girlfriend before...... She didn't quite understand the phenomenon.

"That's now, and that's before."

Kasawa glanced at Chihaya lightly, and still stopped talking in the place where people cared.

However, the expressionless appearance made Chihaya puzzled whether the other party didn't want to investigate by himself.

She felt like she was about to die of curiosity.

"Let's talk about it later...... It's late, rest early. ”

As if seeing through Chihaya's thoughts, Kasawa made a timely statement that people couldn't refuse.

Although it sounded reasonable, Chihaya always felt that the other party just didn't want her to ask questions, so she found a way to play with herself

Forced to let go of wanting to gossip (unknowingly has fallen), Chihaya looked around for the clock in the room, and then saw the alarm clock with a short hand of more than 2 on the alarm clock next to the bed.

It's already such a time......

However, considering that the time when they finished shopping was nine o'clock, and the distance to Xiaojin's house, it was already very late when they stepped into this room.

After coming back, I rested and ate some fruit, and everyone took turns to take a bath, watch TV, and play for a while, and then Xiaojin suddenly made this menstrual cramp......

In fact, it took a lot of time.

"I have an appointment tomorrow at noon, so I'll sleep first."

After simply dropping this sentence, Xiang Ze took off his glasses and put them on the table next to the game console, and lay down on the outermost bed.

His body sank into the futon, he turned to one side, and then he didn't make a sound.

Right now......

Why is she alone all of a sudden......?

Chihaya smiled bitterly and looked at the squad leader and his friend who had never woken up even when he was sleeping, and suddenly didn't know what to do.

Before turning off the light, I walked to the bed to look at Nishiki's situation, and found that her complexion had already improved in addition to sweating a little, and Chihaya was relieved to go to sleep.

It wasn't until she lay down on the last floor that she found out......

She's now used to sharing a room with two female friends......

It feels like the daily life of the Five Rivers Shido is gradually moving away from her.

(There are important things to say below~)

……………………

……………………

The last few chapters seem to be a little suspicious of water.,Although I'm weak in my heart, I still have a bottom ==.

After all, it's an exam... It's always been the author of Xiao Erye and Xiao Meijiu in my head, and I don't think I need to graduate.

Although it is not to give up, it has come to this point. Author: I decided to just write the ending early.

Although only the scene of Takezaki Nishiki was cut from the reservation (from the background revealed to Gu Ying, it can be seen that there is a lot of plasticity in the story)

And there are many readers who say that the author, my book is a lifetime series...... Author: I'm obviously thinking so hard about the plot! (Beaten.)

So it's not okay to continue like this! That's what the author thinks.

So in order to solve the problem of too much water and too heavy, the author decided to pull back the plot part

The long-awaited Tianyang Festival is about to start~ (Author: My headache is about to start)

In addition, I'm thinking about writing a story about Kasawa and Fujino in this volume, but I'm still thinking about it
