"Alright."

Granny Ishiyama's slightly hoarse voice entered Aono's ears.

The sound was at first vague and dull, as if it were separated by a thick layer of seawater, and it was not really audible.

Soon, however, as if being salvaged from the sea, the water pressure decreases rapidly, and the sense of obstruction and condensation decreases.

"That way, you should have a lot less symptoms."

Aono's consciousness drifted wet to the sober shore.

He opened his eyes, and his soul left some ineffable, ethereal place, and returned to his shell in the surface world.

I was able to see what was going on around me.

Familiar, with a slight sense of strangeness.

You have been healed by special supernatural powers! 】

[Soul wounds are healed!] 】

[The state "weak" is eliminated! ] 】

[The state "Soul Damage" has been alleviated.] 】

[Intelligence +2!] 】

[Sanity+! Sanity + ......]

Take another look at the sanity value on the panel - sanity.

It has risen directly from the original level of thirty or forty to about eighty, even if it still does not return to the full value of reason, but it is still a change that can be called an amazing change.

Aono's thoughts were still immersed in the afterglow just now.

I have to say, it was a very unique but comfortable experience.

The soul seems to be soaked in the warm and blazing hot spring, enveloped by the gentle flow of water, and it is like countless pairs of delicate hands gently massaging.

Some impurities are removed, and the wounds on the soul heal on their own.

Refreshed!

It's not just a repair, but it also brings a little improvement to Aoye, two improvements in intelligence attributes, which doesn't seem like much, but it still proves this progress.

Aono looked at Akiko Ishiyama, and there was a bit or two of weakness on her face.

It can be seen that this "treatment" process is not costless for Granny Ishiyama.

Yes, Aono sincerely thanked him.

"Thank you, Granny Ishiyama."

At the beginning of treatment, Aono was certainly not defenseless.

To be precise, it is still unusually vigilant.

There is no doubt that any operation on the soul is extremely dangerous, not to mention that the two of them are only meeting today, and it is normal to be vigilant.

The memory in Qing Ye's heart is a secret that only he knows, and it is impossible to share it with others.

Even if Akiko Ishiyama says "no", Aono won't be stupid enough to believe whatever she says.

Always stick to the last line of defense in the soul, and if there is a special force invading, you can detect it at the first time.

But the truth is.

During the whole process, Akiko Ishiyama did not snoop on the performance of his inner memory, and it brought him such a great benefit.

Looking back now, Qing Ye couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart.

"It's fine."

Akiko Ishiyama can understand Aono's mood very well - at her age, she has seen too many things and has a lot of experience in life.

Aono silently kept this kindness in his heart.

He has always had a clear grudge.

Even if it was part of the three favors, for Akiko Ishiyama personally, she didn't have to do it.

This was followed by a few polite words of thanks and goodbye.

Aono took the two daughters and prepared to leave.

It's just that at the moment when he walked out of the courtyard gate, Aono found the corner of Ishishyama's mother-in-law's mouth, with a smile that was not there?

'What do you think of?' ’

Aono thought silently, but when she came back to her senses, the smile seemed like it had never appeared on her face.

'Looks like my sequelae haven't completely improved......

It's not far out of the yard.

Tomie lifted his pretty face out of his scarf and said playfully.

"By the way, since you're here, it's better to ......"

"Shall we go to the top of the mountain?"

He blinked his big beautiful eyes as he spoke.

"I've never been to the top of the mountain!"

Kanda Yukie wrinkled her little nose, and subconsciously wanted to do it against Tomie, she had always had no good feelings about Tomie, and this bad woman wanted to snatch Aono away from her.

But......

Thinking of Tomie's purpose for finding Akiko Ishiyama - Kanda Yukie had already heard about it from Aono.

If that's the case, wouldn't there be only the last three days left in this bad Tomie right now?

So now, Kanda Yukie is also silent and no longer refutes her suggestion.

"Okay."

Aono nodded.

I have to admit that the words "come and come" do have a unique power.

Just as Kanda Yukie thought, if this was Tomie's last wish, it would be a little too cruel.

The group of three set off to the top of the mountain.

Neither Tomie nor Aono used any extraordinary abilities, nor did they use their extraordinary physical fitness to climb the mountain wall directly.

Instead, you slowly follow the path of stone steps to the top of the mountain like a normal tourist.

It's fun to experience something that only ordinary people do.

This mountain is not Mt. Fuji or a well-known mountain in the Tokyo area, and it is only eight or nine hundred meters above sea level.

But the advantage is that the vegetation is dense, unlike some of the mountains that are bare and sparsely vegetated.

Even though there are a lot of fallen leaves in the mountains and forests, there are still many evergreen broad-leaved trees that stand tall in the cold winds of winter.

The further up you go, the smaller and insignificant everything on the ground becomes.

The solemn atmosphere of the cold winter shrouded in this mountain forest.

The sky was gray, and the clouds obscured the clear dome, and even the mood of the people was lowered because of it.

It took about three hours.

From two to five o'clock in the afternoon.

The three of them slowly came to the top of the mountain.

They took so long because of the stop-and-go along the way, and the twists and turns of the mountain roads here, Tomie explored several branch routes, and almost took the wrong road.

But then again, Aono originally climbed the mountain with a playful attitude.

Fast or slow is not so important in itself.

In Aono's short, glass-eyed memory, he climbed the mountain only a handful of times.

I only went to the rich woman a few times when I was playing in the mountains and rivers, and several times I couldn't climb to the top of the mountain because the rich woman was physically exhausted.

Not only did Tomie's wish come true, but he also climbed a mountain to relax.

Thinking about it this way, Qingye doesn't lose money by blood!

"Wow! It's time to reach the top of the mountain! ”

Tomie let out an exclamation like a little girl, and his eyes sparkled to look underneath.

Located at the top of this mountain, you can see quite a nice view.

The cities not far away, because of the distance, appear to be lined up one after another.

You can see some old narrow alleys, and you can also see tall and high-tech buildings, a mixture of modernity and tradition, forming a slightly absurd, but beautiful picture.

The mountains and forests can't see those details, but the cyan yellow color is impregnated underneath you, and it is extremely vivid.

To be honest, Aono doesn't have much of an art appreciation cell, and he can't talk about composition, light and shade, color contrast, and so on.

He just felt that the scene in front of him was beautiful.

Kanda Yukie's eyes widened, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but be attracted by this scene.

Neither of them noticed that beside them, Tomie briefly glanced at the scenery below the mountain before turning his head.

Eyes as beautiful as jewels, staring straight at Aono, there was nothing in sight but him.

"Compared to the beauty of nature, you are really more beautiful than Aono-kun......

Tomie thought.

When Aono enjoyed the view, he finally felt that something was wrong.

When I turned my head, the abnormal feeling of being stared at disappeared again.

'It's weird. ’

"Aono-kun, you're beautiful, aren't you?"

Tomie smiled, but the current smile was unexpectedly not as evil and weird as usual, just simply coquettish.

Maybe Akiko Ishiyama also helped her with some tricks.

Aono agreed, "yes. ”

The cold wind in winter blows over the mountain peaks.

For Aono, it's very pleasant.

His body's adaptability is extremely strong, as long as it's not too cold or too hot, he can accept it.

Kanda Yukie and Tomie both shuddered, retracted their hands into their pockets, and buried their little heads in their scarves as if they were burying turnips.

The two girls were originally the type to be afraid of the cold.

I was just halfway up the mountain and was frozen.

Not to mention when he came to the top of the mountain, Kanda Yukie's delicate nose was red from the cold, and his eyes narrowed and opened slightly, and he looked like he wanted to sneeze but couldn't.

"Aono-kun, cold ......"

Tomie said weakly, looking at Aono pitifully.

To be exact, it's the thick coat on Aono's body.

Aono didn't pay attention to Tomie for a while, he already knew that Tomie was actually a very good deceitful person.

- The more beautiful a woman is, the more she can deceive!

Pretending to be pitiful couldn't be easier for her.

"It's so cruel~ Aono-kun, obviously ...... three days later"

Tomie wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers—and really squeezed out two tears for her—and complained.

is definitely an actor-level acting acting, vividly showing the pitiful place of a woman who is at least a general.

Aono is not soft-hearted, but he is simply a little annoyed, he knows that if he doesn't achieve his goal, Tomie is afraid that he will continue to act.

More critically.

Kanda Yukie on the side saw this, how could Tomie succeed so easily, and also spoke softly.

"I'm so cold......."

The grievances on the little face are not inferior to Tomie.

can only say, maybe women are born actors, right?

Tomie took the lead in taking a step towards Aono and leaned closer.

[You are influenced by charisma!] 】

[Judgment ......]

[Judgment Success!] 】

[No impact!] 】

Aono: "......"

Isn't it just for a coat?

As for using "charm"?

Kanda Yukie also took a step closer to Aono, raised his little face, and looked at Aono.

It's not so much that the little girl wants that coat now, but that she cares about her status in Aono's mind.

Only this is the only thing that Kanda Yukie definitely doesn't want to be compared to Tomie.

Seeing the friendly atmosphere of the three of them traveling together, with a direction similar to that of "Shura Field", Aono could only sigh in his heart.

'Oh, woman! ’

'Do you want my coat like that?' ’

Aono touched the coat on his body, but instead of untying it, he wrapped it tighter.

"Well, you won't be cold soon."

“...... Well? ”

Both Kanda Yukie and Tomie were a little confused, not quite sure what Aono meant by this.

But they looked to the side and quickly noticed the anomaly.

A faint black mist enveloped them.

"It's ......"

The two girls naturally quickly recognized that this was one of Aono's abilities.

Their eyes widened, and their mood was indescribable—would they rather use this supernatural power than lend them their coats?

I can only say that it is really worthy of you, Aono-kun!

But it is undeniable that the black mist isolates the cold wind from the outside world and blocks the temperature around them, which does have the effect of keeping them warm.

And the effect is probably much better than a thin coat.

But Kanda Yukie still puffed up his little face, like a small bun, and he knew that he was not very happy at first glance.

Tomie is pretty much the same.

What they care about is just a coat, and it has a special meaning, but the current Qingye probably won't understand it.

Black fog spreads around.

Aono sighed slightly, thinking of the black mist spirit that sacrificed himself.

In the end, I didn't give you a name. ’

He was already sure that he was regretting, and a little sad.

【Master.】 】

In a trance, I heard the crisp sound in my ears, but when I looked closely, the fog around me was still in a state of chaos.

Its consciousness is still ignorant, and it only knows that it has a friendly emotion towards Aono - the fog is like a child clinging to its mother telling a story, clinging to Aono, reluctant to leave.

The sound I had just heard could only be an auditory hallucination.

Tomie and the two could see that Aono was suddenly in a low mood, and they thought that they had upset him, so they quieted down and didn't dare to speak.

Fortunately, it was quiet for only a short minute.

Tomie suddenly spoke up and made a very ridiculous suggestion.

"Actually, there's one thing I've always wanted to try, but I've never done it before!"

Kanda looked at her suspiciously.

"It's the kind of thing that best happens with someone you like."

The little girl raised her eyebrows and realized that things were not simple.

"And, it's super exciting, super fun~"

Hearing this, Kanda Yukie didn't fry the pot thoroughly, and pointed to Tomie and scolded "No shame!" "It's already the result of her extreme restraint.

Still, she glared at Tomie with a "if you make an excessive request, I'll beat you up."

"Aono-kun, are you interested in trying it?"

Noticing Kanda's eyes, Tomie showed a charming, suggestive smile.

almost made the little girl so angry that she jumped up and punched her in the knee.

"The kind of thing I'm talking about, it's actually ......"

"Jump down from here."

Tomie pointed to the bottom of the mountain, where the cold wind of hunting blew, killing and cold.

Such a height is enough to make ordinary people stand unsteadily, and they dare not look down.

She had a pretty face, one of excitement and curiosity.

It proves that she is not just talking, but actually has such thoughts.

Even if Tomie makes such a decision now, there is one thing that cannot be changed - she is still a madman!
