Uesugi Kiyoshi doesn't understand Shiina Kikyo's stubbornness, just as he often doesn't understand amorous feelings.

Although the girl in front of him was older than him, Chu Chu was pitiful at this time, but she didn't have the appearance of a senior.

He thought about it and wanted to say something more, but was bumped on the shoulder by Miishi Ueno, who had been standing beside Kyoko.

Tilting his head slightly, he shook his head lightly when he saw the old man smiling.

"Master Uesugi, you still have a lot of things to do, you might as well leave it to me here, and I'll make this young lady change her mind—how about I say a few words?" You're going to get busy first, right? ”

Maybe in front of outsiders, Ueno Sanshi's posture is very sufficient, and he even called the young master, and he is respectful to Uesugi Kiyoshi, and he is also very particular about his words.

Uesugi Kiyoshi really has something to do, he has to go and see the situation outside, and the current state of Apricot is not quite right, and there is a monk waiting for him to judge, so there is a lot of work.

He pondered for a few seconds, nodded slowly, and took a deep look at Shiina Kikyo.

She was still wearing "work clothes" at this time, which was a relatively revealing maid outfit, but on her body, her appearance was particularly delicate.

Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned.

He wasn't conservative, but he saw that Shiina Kikyo was already shivering a little from the cold, so he grabbed the association-style trench coat he had just put on his body and carefully draped it on Shiina Kikyo's shoulder.

Then, with a sigh, he didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

It didn't take long for there to be few people left in the room, just a few dedicated field agents cleaning up the bodies and cleaning up the scene.

Ueno Mishi smiled, put his hands behind his back, and looked at her from a distance of a few meters from Shiina Kikyo, and didn't speak first.

Shiina Kikyo was a little embarrassed by him, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "This... Senior, is there anything else? ”

The white-haired old man smiled faintly, but the words he said made Shiina Kikyo's heart move.

"Are you willing?"

Shiina Kikyo raised his head inch by inch, blinked his big moist eyes, and said with some hesitation: "You say... What the? ”

Ueno Mitsushi still smiled very kindly and repeated his words.

"I'm asking, this young lady, are you willing?"

Immediately afterward, Ueno Mitsushi did not continue to give Shiina Kikyo time to think.

"I'm an old man, I've lived for so many years, and I've experienced the ups and downs of life, young people of your age, what do you think, I can almost see it at a glance."

"Do you know that from what you said before and the look in your eyes just now, even a fool can see that your affection for Uesugi-kun has probably broken through the boundaries of friends, right?"

Shiina Kikyo's cheeks were slightly red, but after all, she was a strong girl who had experienced social beatings, and she was not shy, she just nodded and sighed faintly.

"You can see it, but no one can see it."

Ueno Miishi shook his head meaningfully.

"I know what you mean - do you think Uesugi-kun really can't see it?"

"He's just going to be stupid -- men have to be stupid, and he's so self-taught about it."

"Okay, let's not talk about that."

"You don't know anything about the transcendent world, so I'll briefly say that Uesugi-kun invited a god-level existence, used rare spells, and paid the due price to drag you back from the ghost gate, and then, is this how you treat your life-saving benefactor?"

"You like him, why don't you say it?"

Shiina Kikyo was a little gloomy, she shook her head vigorously, and laughed miserably: "It's not that I'm hypocritical, why should I accept his kindness for granted?" ”

"People like me... People like me! ”

"I don't deserve it!"

“...”

"I don't even have the qualifications to like him, he's a good guy, he was willing to punch me and Sunflower when he was a poor student, but we'll only drag him down!"

"I've long since lost the qualification to like someone."

"Since when?"

"When Mom and Dad died? Still is... When did you start drinking at a custom shop? ”

"I can't remember..."

There was no sadness on Shiina Kikyo's face, only calm, and his voice did not contain a crying tone, but spoke directly, but this made Ueno Mishi a little frightened.

Grief is worse than heart death, if it weren't for her sister's bondage, this girl would probably have broken herself off a long time ago, right?

Such a person should give her a goal.

Ueno Miishi smiled softer.

"You're right about one thing, Uesugi-kun is a good guy."

"He, he often claims to be a villain, but that is just a cloak he disguises to make himself hard-hearted, and he is a kind man in his bones."

"For the sake of me, an old man who has just met for a long time and is about to die, he is willing to gamble his life to fight with ghosts and gods."

"So, in order to repay my kindness, I bid farewell to the lord I have served all my life, and vowed to use the remaining years of the wind and candle to be loyal to Uesugi-kun."

"People like me still know how to repay their kindness."

"Miss Shiina, don't you want to do something for Uesugi-kun?"

"Like he's helped you so many times."

There was a ripple in Shiina Kikyo's eyes, and she looked at Ueno Mishi, but she just shook her head.

"I... How can someone like me help him? ”

"Not being by his side, ruining his life, that's the only thing I can do for him, right?"

"Don't be presumptuous, Miss Shiina."

"You're different now, you're lucky, you've stepped through the door of the extraordinary by chance, you're above many people."

"You are no longer the girl who is weak and can only hide behind others, you have a more colorful life waiting for you."

"So, are you going to give up?"

"Uesugi-kun has sprung up and laid a foundation, but after all, there is no foundation, and it is the time when there is a shortage of manpower."

"I'm a little bit alone."

"There are a few companies under Uesugi-kun's name that no one is watching, there is a shortage of people to manage in the dojo, and there are few people in the association who can manage things--how can you say that you can't help him?"

Shiina Kikyo muttered, "I... I didn't finish high school, so where did I know this. ”

"You can't learn! You don't even have that determination, do you? ”

"You have to be clear that you are now an extraordinary being, and you are no longer the same as ordinary people."

"Miss Shiina."

"No, not a reason."

Shiina Kikyo was asked by Ueno Mishi.

However, the next words made her shake even more.

The old man with silver hair suddenly smiled ambiguously.

"Apricot - the girl who just rescued you, and her background may not be much better than yours."

"You should understand that love is such a thing, you don't look at your background, you only look at marriage."

"I didn't get to that point."

"And..."

"It's true that Uesugi-kun has a girlfriend."

"But... In my opinion..."

"I'm afraid there's more than one..."
