"How could it be. I'm more fulfilled than ever, why do you ask this, Wen Bing? ”
Orange called the priest's last name.
"Nothing. Because you seem to be happy, but you don't seem to be happy, because you don't seem to notice it yourself, so I, as your confidant, are a little worried. ”
The priest said as if he really thought so.
“…… What is the definition of happiness? I remember, that's your mantra. Happiness is different for everyone. That's it. How do you know what I think is happiness, it's a boring worry. ”
"No, although I don't know these small details, especially the concept of happiness of women is even more varied. But happiness is roughly divided into two categories, but I feel that you have nothing to do with either, so I think you are really shabby. ”
The priest's accusations were mean, but his malice was not evident in his expression.
“…… Oh, your advice really scares me, is this what is called comradeship, well, then I'll hear what you have to say. ”
If what you say doesn't mean me, then I'm going to kill you here.
The hostility on Orange's body has turned into killing intent.
"That's nature, happiness is relative and absolute, is there an object of comparison that determines the difference in happiness, are you the one who will feel happy as long as you are peaceful, or the person who can't bear it as long as you are inferior, no matter how satisfied?" After a pause, the priest continued: "Happiness comes down to these two things, and it goes without saying that I will not be happy – but most people just want to be happier than others. ”
The priest smiled coolly.
Orange remembered that this man was fundamentally a demon who did not believe in happiness.
In contrast to him, another person whom Orange knew could feel a small amount of happiness from him from time to time, even though it had been before.
Orange knows where most of his happiness comes from, but she has to destroy his satisfaction.
"Gee, you don't seem to be so angry. Your happiness is absolute, you are the type of person who wants to get real satisfaction for yourself, the reason why you care about others, and become a person with a relatively happy outlook......"
It's because Aoko, just about to say this, the priest took a step back.
However, the anger of the orange did not rise to the height of the tipping point.
"On the surface, you also care about Qingzi, a sanctimonious guy, pretending to be a saint here, but not protecting her, even the law frame is more honest than you. Hmph, let's go, pretending guy. ”
"I beg your pardon, puppeteer, then I'll leave, and I hope you will have a good ending." The priest was unmoved, but lowered his posture.
"Your blessings are not sensitive...... Let's go. ”
Orange was originally curious about Wen Bingyong's black cloak, but at this time she was in no mood to ask.
"You should have noticed it, I have three long guys in my clothes."
As if seeing through the orange's hesitation, the priest smiled harshly and disappeared on the way he came.
“…… Liar, I only saw one, or a short knife, and said three, and I am not a magician, how can I hide it? ”
Orange muttered as she put her glasses back on.
Once you've raised the demon's food, you can return to your temporary hideout.
The purpose of negotiating with the church has been achieved, and then there is no need to worry.

Approaching the end of the semester, Misaki Private High School is gradually being enveloped in the atmosphere before the exam.
In the classroom, all you see are students studying hard, there is much less play in the corridor, and even the workload of the student council to picket discipline has been reduced a lot.
But that doesn't mean Purple will have more free time.
In fact, by this time, the finishing touches of the entire semester had already begun, so Purple and Aoko left almost every day before the school closed.
"Why do I waste so much time in these boring files?" Even though she was already very skilled in handling Wen Jiàn, Purple couldn't help but complain.
Irimaru is also supposed to share the work, and he has the right to skip class in the open, and he is more free than Murasaki and Aoko, but he often disappears immediately after school.
I've already done my part by the time you're in class, so it's up to you...... With a smile on her face, Kite Maru explained this before.
Purple is also helpless.
In fact, he didn't really want to stay alone with Aoko for too long, because recently, once Aoko finished dealing with other things, he would immediately focus on him and start to ignite the soul of gossip-
"Now, still won't you sue me? Xiao Zi, what did you say to Youzhu that she would let you into her library. ”
“……”
"Although you and she have known each other for so long, her library is very well watched, you have never been in it before, it is really strange that she suddenly changed her mind."
Aoko continued to ask.
"Hey, what did you say to make her change her mind? Don't hide it, tell me, it's rare for me to be so patient, don't challenge my sister's bottom limit! ”
Aoko's eyes flashed with a mischievous light, and she asked step by step.
"Ah, it's just a very ordinary request, I don't know anything else!"
Zi, who was about to be oppressed to the corner, couldn't keep silent anymore, closed her eyes resignedly, and put on a look of not saying anything about death.
But this is only the last resistance, his heart has already been shaken, the orange will appear sooner or later, and it is not meaningful to hide it any longer......
"What. Even I have to hide it, Xiao Zi is not cute at all! ”
Qingzi was helpless at this time, waved his fist, and reluctantly took it back.
"Since you don't say it, I'll go back and ask Youzhu!"
Aoko said angrily.
This is just angry talk, Youzhu's character Zi and she both know that if she doesn't want to say it, no one can force her to say it.
Although Aoko is not afraid to quarrel with Yuzhu, she can't do anything to provoke a fight for such an obvious loss.
“……!”
Seeing that Purple didn't care, Qingzi's unhappiness was even worse, but since there was no way to vent to Purple, he had to devote himself to Wen Jiàn.
Turning resentment into motivation, Aoko's efficiency was fifty percent higher than usual, and she completed the work of the student council about ten minutes earlier than usual.
Zi was almost done at this time, looking out the window, the members of the sports club on the sports field were almost clean.
"Hurry up, Xiao Zi, I'm going to check the classroom."
Urging Purple, Qingzi sorted out her school bag.
Under the influence of Aoko, Purple also went out of the student union room with Aoko a few minutes early, and closed the door of the meeting room by the way.
"It's getting darker and earlier."
It's only past five o'clock, and the sky is almost completely overcast, and the corridor of Misaki is not very transparent on weekdays, and the lights in the corridor are also dim and unclear, and it seems even more dim at this time.
"Well, I'm going to buy some pancakes later, and I'm impatient to wait."
Aoko said as she checked the doors and windows of the classroom.
"Hmmm......"
Purple agreed, and began to think about the dinner pairing, anyway, the routine inspection was also done in passing, and Misaki's students generally remember to turn off the lights, doors and windows before leaving the classroom, so they don't have to worry too much......
"Click......"
In the depths of the dark hallway, there seemed to be an unknown voice ringing.
Maybe it's a mouse, after all, schools are also public places, and wild animals can also find some safe shelter and foraging places.
But the noise was subtle but persistent.
Qingzi didn't notice it for a while, but Purple's attention was instinctively pulled back.
A sense of crisis suddenly swelled up in my heart.
This is the feeling he occasionally swelled up when he was a child looking for a bear sparring partner in the mountains, and he would usually avoid it from a distance.
"This feeling is ......"
Purple suddenly turned to the top of the stairs, and in the darkness, a figure gradually appeared.
No, it's not a figure – it's an alien with two hands and two feet!
Behind Purple, Aoko, who turned his head and was about to call Purple to follow, also spotted it!
“…… People, dolls?! ”
