Why am I so concerned about her? Why do you take the initiative to participate in conversations that you can completely stay out of? I wasn't meant to be like that, was I? So how could I, who hate verbal communication, take the initiative to bring it up? I...... It's getting weird.

Li Ai's gaze froze in the void space without focus, as if he could not find the meaning of his own existence and change. In front of her gaze was Zhang Zhou, who remained silent, and the girl in the pothos skirt who fell into sadness and no longer spoke.

Yes, it's because of her. I took advantage of her. took advantage of her who was so pure, completely different from the filthy world. It is precisely because of that purity that I have such a sense of guilt, that I will take the initiative to participate in conversations that I could otherwise stay out of, and that I will take the initiative to offer verbal exchanges. I can't let her go.

The killing intent emanating from Zhang Zhou's body, the cowardice circulating in her body, and the uneasiness that belonged to this body that could not be touched, could be clearly seen in the mirror. Everything was urging me to act.

The sadness on her face last night, though faint, touched my heartstrings. It seems that a long time ago, there was a person who had that kind of expression. It was on the verge of withering, so beautiful that it was close to an illusory withering appearance.

Who is that person? Who was the man standing on the edge of the pool, with his empty eyes downcast, looking at his own reflection in the ripples of water? I turned my head to look at the thin figure outlined with sadness on the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window, hooked the corners of my mouth, and laughed. That's right, that person, it's me!

So, Li Ai took a step forward and asked her question. Then, she got the answer.

"Midorihime." Li Ai repeated the name, step by step towards the girl in the pothos skirt curled up on the sofa, helplessly looking at the transparent liquid flowing from the fingertips from the eye sockets, and then hugged her into her arms in her confused gaze. "It's called...... Green Hime. ”

Hugged by her, the tears on the fingertips of the girl in the pothos skirt dripped onto the sofa under the trembling. Feeling the warmth coming from the body that hugged her, the confusion on the face of the girl in the pothos skirt slowly subsided, and she turned to a pure smile. She learned Li Ai's movements and gently hugged her.

"That's ...... Maybe that's fine. Zhang Zhou, who breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teapot that Li Ai had put on the coffee table, and poured warm black tea into the already empty paper cup again. During the time he had just waited, his throat had become unusually dry due to excessive tension, and he had poured a large cup of throat-moistening black tea not long ago.

Zhang Zhou squinted, turned the paper cup in his hand comfortably, then raised it to his mouth, took a sip easily, and after smacking his lips, he poured a large mouthful into his mouth.

"So, what are you going to do?" As if he had pinched the time, Li Ai, who had his back to him, threw out the question when he was about to swallow that sip of black tea. Then, as expected, he choked.

"Hmm, ahem, ahem...... cough cough..."When Zhang Zhou, who finally stopped coughing, raised his eyes, he saw the girl who was originally facing away from him turn around and look at him condescendingly, "You too...... Will come! ”

She spoke inquiringly in an affirmative tone, clearly not giving him any room for refusal.

"Lesson...... What to do? Zhang Zhou did not refuse, but just raised a very practical question. He knew what she was talking about, and he understood that what she had to do couldn't do without him. So, he had decided to get it done even if he was absent from school. But is she going to be involved? Although he doesn't plan to delete her memories anymore. But is it really going to involve her in the world? Classes are also a must for her in her normal life now. By the way, I'm going to school today......

"Classes or something, just continue to ask for leave." Li Ai said this sentence without any confidence, in the face of people who are older than herself and who are really good for herself, she really can't show her acting skills, so when she asks for leave, she will be so clumsy.

"It's just something that has nothing to do with you, and you don't have to come to participate, so why do you have to come?" Zhang Zhou's voice was a little confused, but more of a heartfelt joy. Even he didn't notice it, and there was more of this emotion in his eyes.

"I'm not worried, who knows if you guys will do anything weird to her." Li Ai grabbed Lu Ji's palm without any lines, like a palm carved from pink jade, and looked at Zhang Zhou quietly, "In addition, I also have a reason why I have to go." ”

I don't know that she 'got back' the original memories and deliberately approached him, Zhang Zhou, who wanted to get the answer to that question, naturally didn't understand the reason why she had to go. Li Ai could see that the expression on his face was full of confusion. His gaze wandered, and finally stopped on Midorihime's body. That guy seems to understand this reason as he can't let go of Midorihime.

It wasn't bad, but he didn't know the deeper reason. Such a result is just right.

"So, today, where to go?" Zhang Zhou chuckled, raised his eyes and glanced at the hanging clock, the time, it was still early.

"Wait." Li Aimo held Lu Ji's palm and said to Zhang Zhou, "I can't go out for the time being." In Zhang Zhou's puzzled gaze, she raised Lu Ji's palm without palm prints and gestured to Zhang Zhou. If you let her out like this, once someone stares at her carefully, it will soon be spread on the Internet as a strange story, in that case, what should you do? ”

"Moreover, how can such a beautiful girl not be eye-catching?" Li Ai said such words, praising Midorihime as a matter of course, completely unaware that she was also one of the beautiful girls in her mouth.

"Zhang Zhou, you said that you have a lot of powers, right?" Li Ai narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhang Zhou, "So, is there an ability that can hide her existence?" ”

"I can build her palm prints with makeup, but ...... It's going to take too much time. It's a shameful waste to spend an already inadequate amount of time on such a place! Li Ai explained, and her words suddenly increased, as if she wanted to say everything she hadn't said before.

Her words became more and more fluent in the process of narration, so fluent that Zhang Zhou was beyond her reach. Yes, before that incident, she was a lively child. In that happy family...... She's the most active being.

It was only after that incident that her words became less and less.

Everything has a degree. When the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses. When that degree is exceeded, irreversible changes occur. So, there is a degree of what her parents say to her in this life, right? It's because she talks to them too much, beyond that degree, that they leave her side, right? At the age of ten, she huddled in this empty living room without her parents, thinking about things that a child of her age should not think.

She confirmed the suspicion, and then believed it. So in order not to lose the people around her, she became taciturn little by little. But her transformation has left those around her worried. When her best friend at the time came to ask if she had become like this because of the death of her parents, she told her her guess.

So, she was alienated. Rumors spread, hurting her already scarred heart even more. There was no one around her to talk to. So, she became gloomy. She had seen enough of the ugliness of human beings, so she broke away from the crowd and lay down on solitude, enjoying solitude.

"Don't ...... Crying. Zhang Zhou hurriedly took out the paper towel on the coffee table and handed it to Li Ai, who was crying while talking quickly.

"That kind of thing, I can do it. So, stop crying. ”

"I ...... Crying? Li Ai burst into tears and stared blankly at the tissue he handed over.
