Sitting back on the sofa, Li Nian leaned down and reached out to pick up the teacup in front of him.

The palm of his hand rubbed against the glass, and he felt that after a while, the tea had become warm.

But he brought the teacup to his mouth, still only taking small sips, holding a little tea, and carefully experiencing the bitterness on the tip of his tongue.

The neighbor's second generation of Mr. Li doesn't seem to be a serious character, and whether he is a Chinese is also debatable, but this guy who is full of, but the Longjing tea sent over is a real good product.

While slowly enjoying the mellow fragrance, Li Nian thought about the words brought by this Qiluo Jinkada.

Regardless of that request, the other news that Quilokin Kada had brought was of some value to him.

It turns out that as a dependant of Heartunderblade, the boy named Araragi has gained the corresponding high-level strength as expected.

This means that a teenager who is just an ordinary high school student, while becoming a non-human, has also received violence that is even more terrible than **.

It's even more dangerous for an imp to play with a loaded pistol.

That level of strength is at the strategic level.

The fact at the moment is that he has now, with this power, defeated Dramanz Luki in a chaotic way, winning one of the three duels.

If it was because of the influence of Heartunderblade's vampire's "Charm" ability, it can be understood that he did not participate in this battle of his own volition.

But if it is to step on the stage of a duel while sober......

That's a serious thing.

Quilokin Kada had already planned to start from his family's side and try to defeat the boy by any means, which was equivalent to the fact that the bishop of the Vatican had already regarded Aralagi as an enemy that the Holy See had to eliminate, and what Aralagi had done meant that he was on the opposite side of the Vatican.

In a sense, it can even be seen as hostility to the human camp.

It's very different in nature.

Originally, Li Nian's judgment was inclined to the former possibility.

It is believed that it was Heartunderblade who controlled Araragiri's spirit and forced him to participate in a duel.

In that case, all the blame should be placed on Heartunderblade, and after her death, the burden of Araragiri, who came to her senses after her death, would be weakened, and the perception of him by "this side of the world" would only be that of "humans who were unfortunately affected and turned into vampires", so as to facilitate future arrangements for him.

However, judging from the information he had now, he felt that he had to consider the second possibility.

Araragiri, by his own will, intends to help Heartunderblade, therefore, on his own initiative, stands on the opposite side of them.

If that's the case......

It's troublesome.

Depending on the situation, perhaps, it would be better to kill him.

“……”

Li Nian suddenly remembered the eye-eyed girl he met at the gate of Zongwu High that day.

Remembering that she said in a firm tone, she said without hesitation.

- "Araragi-kun's nature is by no means a bad person"

Of course, there is the latter sentence.

- "Although it's a hentai who has seen me fat"

At the time, I thought that this girl had some strange misunderstanding about that person, but now that I think about it, it seems that both sentences were sincere.

Other words.

Hentai who is not a bad person by nature?

As a result of his thinking, he came up with such a subtle positioning, and Li Nian felt that the person's impression was even more confusing in his mind.

He exhaled, took the last sip of tea, put down his cup, leaned back tiredly, buried himself in the couch, frowned and began to knead the bridge of his nose.

“…… Anyway, when we meet, it will come to light, right? ”

What you see with your own eyes is what you can be sure of.

If he is really a guy who has rotted his roots and has no value of helping, he will be sent to hell with these hands.

That's the worst-case scenario.

There is a father, a mother, and two younger sisters.

I just hope that you are really as the kid said, and your nature is not bad.

I closed my eyes, and gradually, my consciousness sank.

It's too lazy to go upstairs again, wanting to continue the interrupted sleep right here.

Immediately, Li Nian fell asleep lightly on the sofa.

Just shallow asleep.

As the minutes ticked by, his dormancy was literally restoring his spirits.

Twenty minutes later.

There was a click from upstairs, and a closed door was pushed open.

Li Nian immediately realized that his consciousness woke up quickly.

It was Lumia who pushed the door open.

But he opened his eyes and glanced at the stairs, then closed them again.

Then he heard the wooden steps being treaded, and gradually approached, knowing that after leaving the door, Lumia still walked down, and he did not open his eyes.

The policy of getting along with this woman has been figured out before, these days he doesn't plan to take the initiative to find someone to disturb others, nor does he want to talk about superfluous things, he plans to let her be quiet, give her some space, and let her think for herself.

At this time, I didn't think that this woman would take the initiative to disturb me, so I didn't plan to open my eyes and call her, my body didn't move, and I didn't change the rhythm of my breathing.

I don't plan to ask about this woman's next behavior, and I am ready to continue sleeping on my own.

Probably because he noticed him sleeping, Lumia's footsteps suddenly stopped for a moment.

After a while, it sounded again, but the sound was noticeably lower than before.

It's a deliberate slowdown.

Li Nian, who had his eyes closed, thought that his prediction was correct.

I felt that I was not treated well before, but now that it is so, this is expected, Li Nian smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart, and planned to fall silent again, wanting to ignore the existence of Lumia and continue to sleep lightly.

Silence again subconsciously.

After that, Lumia does things that don't cause fluctuations in his consciousness and don't affect his sleep.

It's about to go into half-asleep again.

A subtle sound reached the ears.

"Mr. Li, you...... Didn't you fall asleep......"

“……”

"I don't think your words will be unnoticeable......"

Li Nian interrupted his meditation, slowly opened his eyes, and said slowly.

“…… Why, all of a sudden, you want to talk to me? ”

"I just feel like there's something that has to be said."

“……”

He slowly lifted his gaze from the floor and followed the direction from which the sound came.

The woman standing next to the staircase was looking at her with an unflinching gaze.

I really look like I want to say something......

Maybe my own thoughts are somewhat different from the real situation.

He stared at the blood-colored pupils.

Observe the flickering light beneath it.

I think this kind of unexpected plot may be a good thing.

He smiled and sat up straight.

"Tell me something."
