"I'm back......"

After changing his shoes at the entrance, Xia Ran pulled the corners of his mouth and shouted into the brightly lit room.

Then taking a deep breath and walking towards the room, Megumi Kato tilted her head and followed behind him...... Although she probably understood what Xia Ran had in mind, after thinking about it, she still didn't expose him.

"Welcome back......"

Sitting quietly in the living room, it was really Xue Nai under the snow, she said very calmly, and at the same time put down the notebook in her hand and turned her head to look at the two people who walked in.

But then, her expression became visibly stunned, and she suddenly stood up from the sofa: "Wait, what's going on with you?!" ”

"Because of Kazami Yuka's request, I just went to have a friendship with her......" Xia Ran blinked, and said as a matter of course, while looking around without a trace from the corner of his eye.

Charlotte wasn't there, I don't know if she was going to see the two people off, or if she was preparing with Artoria, but this was expected by herself.

Yang Nai is not there under the snow, she should go back to Xue Nai's apartment, after all, she is very busy during this time, and she really needs to rest at this time, and she lives in her sister's apartment during this time.

Because it is separated by a door, it is very convenient, and she is not worried that her sister is separated from this place by a door.

However, under the snow, Xue Nai was still sitting in the living room waiting at this time, but it was indeed a little unexpected, which shows that she really cares, right? So you've been waiting to find an explanation?

Xia Ran, who felt that something was not good, moved his eyes to the table, the notebook was also one of his notes, and it seemed to be about the occult knowledge of curses...... Wait, it shouldn't be, right?

His thoughts were just a thought, but under the snow, Xue Nai pointed to the blood on his body with great annoyance: "So much blood...... You actually say this is a friendship exchange?! ”

"It's really a friendship, at least there's no dead hand...... Xia Ran clenched his hand into a fist, put it to his mouth and coughed gently, "Don't worry, in fact, there is no problem, whether hell will accept me or not is still two words......"

“……”

“……”

Biting her lower lip tightly, the black straight girl looked quite annoyed, but she didn't say anything more, just held back her emotions and asked, "Then you really have no problem now?" Don't need to see a doctor or something? ”

"It's really no problem, just take a shower and change your clothes later......" Xia Ran nodded again and again, and at the same time secretly praised his wit in his heart.

Sure enough, after being punched in the chest by Youxiang, I really need to make the best use of it, and now the classmates under the snow are not distracted, at least they should stop being angry about what happened before for the time being, and they should no longer have the idea of cursing themselves, right?

"It's better to be like this...... the girl said unhappily, and after carefully examining his face to make sure that he really didn't show any special weakness now, she was slightly relieved.

Immediately afterwards, her gaze naturally shifted to Megumi Kato: "Wait, Kato-san, why are you still here?" Haven't you already gone back? ”

"I've been here all along, and I haven't been back...... "Megumi Kato replied strangely, "It's just that I went to the shrine on the other side with Sanae and waited for a while......"

Xue Xia frowned slightly, and thought about it carefully, it seems that only Yui Hihama and Hachiman Hachiman went back just now, plus the head maid went to see them off, that is, the three of them left.

It's really strange that there is no Kato-san, why did I not realize that I was ignoring such a person at the time? So that's when she went to the other side and waited?

- I didn't even notice it!

The expression changed slightly, and the black long straight girl looked at the blood stains on Megumi Kato's body, and asked tentatively, "So...... Kato-san: You just went to watch the game? ”

"How is it possible, I don't know anything, didn't I go to the scene to cause trouble for classmate Xia Ran?"

The calm girl replied very calmly, how could she possibly go to watch the battle? It's not a brain-dead routine in a bloody TV series, when the protagonist fights with the enemy, the powerless heroine has to run into the center of the battlefield to cause chaos.

"Then the blood ...... on your skirt" The black long straight girl looked at Megumi Kato suspiciously, it seems that this is indeed the truth, but why is there blood on Megumi Kato's body?

Could it be that when he came back from helping this person back, he accidentally contracted it?

But according to the rules of physics and physics, it should also be contaminated on the side, shoulder, arm and other places!

What kind of support method does it take to be able to stain so much blood on the clothes and skirts on the front, it can't be that she brought Princess Xia Ran back, right?

"Oh, this is the ...... that was sprayed by classmate Xia Ran just now."

Speaking of this, Megumi Kato's face also showed a slightly troubled look, and she twisted her body a little unnaturally, "Because it happened too suddenly, I couldn't avoid ......"

“……”

“……”

"Oh, I see."

Xue Nai was silent for a moment under the snow, and then nodded as if he knew it, and said so with an unusually indifferent expression.

I don't know what she had in mind, like when she was on the knee pillow...... The girl's unusually indifferent gaze looked at Megumi Kato's figure, carefully considering the probability of this possibility.

“……”

“……”

Xia Ran's face was very calm on the side, because he suddenly found that he had long been used to it.

This is the Kato-san I know, this familiar backstab, this considerate mending knife, always comes suddenly when I am defenseless, and it comes unexpectedly, which is really reassuring.

It's just that she really doesn't have any other ideas in her heart, that is, she can always do such things unintentionally, which is very strange and strange. Maybe it's like she and her mother called to inform her that she would stay overnight at Sanae's "place of residence" tonight-

Obviously, she didn't lie, she just told the truth, but what she said was not the same thing as the actual facts at all, but she could tell the truth and make the other party have a wonderful misunderstanding......

This ability to unconsciously arrange others has reached a revered level, could it be said that she really has some "ability to manipulate the unconscious"?

Well, if you think about it carefully, it's really suspicious - the sister of Xiaowu Lori, Gu Ming Di Lian has such an ability, originally as a mind-reading monster, she has the same mind-reading skills as Jue.

But she knew that people hated this ability, so she completely closed her third eye that could read minds, so that she could no longer read other people's thoughts, so she gained the ability to manipulate the unconscious.

She also often acts unconsciously, unable to make people aware of her existence. Because of the influence of her own abilities, even if someone sees her, as long as they are distracted later, they will quickly ignore her existence.

In the state of the unconscious, as long as it does not enter the field of vision of others, there is no sense of existence......

Even if it enters the field of vision of others, it will go unnoticed like a small stone......

And as soon as you leave the field of view, you will be immediately forgotten by others.

How so? I always feel that the more I think about it, the more I feel that there is a problem.,It's too strange.,Maybe Megumi Kato is really in a similar situation to Komei Jiju.,It's just not so thorough.,The symptoms are relatively mild?

Perhaps in order to escape from reality, Xia Ran also activated the ability to manipulate the degree of the unconscious, unconsciously thinking so crankily.

"Forget it, don't talk about this, I have something to ask you......"

At this time, under the snow, Xue Nai adjusted his mood and sat down again.

"Actually, about "shiki", ......Xia Ran quickly came back to his senses, and opened his mouth without hesitation to explain that the agreement was actually not like that at all, although it was true that he couldn't let others know.

"Who asked you this? I'm not concerned about that. When Xue Xia said this, his expression was as cold as usual, and he didn't see anything special.

"Huh?"

Xia Ran was surprised now, how could she not care about this? He looked at the girl's face with a little worry, and hesitated: "Xuexia classmate, did you eat something that shouldn't have been eaten at the banquet just now?" ”

At this time, Megumi Kato had calmly sat down on the sofa opposite and naturally poured herself a cup of tea.

After hearing this, she glanced at Xia Ran strangely, feeling a little confused about this strange classmate in the front seat, obviously when he came back just before, he still looked very scheming, why did he act completely without desire to survive now?

"For your own sake, it's best to think about it before you speak......" Yukishita's expression was unusually calm, and she just glared at him fiercely, "If you insist, we can also discuss the issue of that 'shiki'." ”

"No, classmate under the snow, you're right......" Xia Ran sat down next to the girl, nodded again and again, and pretended to be well-behaved, "If there is anything, you can ask directly, as long as you want it, as long as I have it." ”

Xue Xia was slightly stunned, and then looked away as if nothing happened, and didn't care about the fact that the other party was obviously covered in blood, but sat down next to him......

However, there is no smell of rust and blood, but a strange mellow smell of blood. Human blood generally doesn't smell like this, and I don't know if it's this guy's own problem.

She coughed, cleared her throat, and then asked:

"You and Saber, are you going to go next?"

"Yes." Xia Ran nodded and did not hide this matter.

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know, although I have a vague hunch, but I'm not sure." Xia Ran replied honestly.

However, this kind of honesty obviously can't be trusted by others, at least Xue Nai doesn't believe it under the snow, and her expression is very displeased: "Where are you going, you don't even know it?" ”

"I really don't know, this matter is not something I can control, at least not for now......

Xia Ran looked directly into her eyes very sincerely, indicating that this was really not something she could decide.

“…… When to go? The girl frowned slightly, looked away, and asked again.

"It's tonight, but if there are no accidents, I can be back tomorrow morning." Xia Ran tried his best to downplay the real-world time scale to show that what he was going to do next would not be twists and turns.

What can happen in just one night!

At most, he has upgraded again......

There seemed to be something in mind under the snow, and she gently put her hand to her lips, silently thinking about it.

"Xuexia-san, do you have any ideas?" Xia Ran asked tentatively, and at the same time quickly listed a series of solutions in his heart, he had already made all the preparations for this possibility.

"Let's wait a minute......"

The black girl shook her head, she couldn't make a decision for a while, and she needed some time to think about it for a while, "Do you want to have a supper?" My sister went to take a shower, and said she hadn't eaten much just now, so please let me make a ...... later."

"This ...... Then there is Lao Xuexia, classmate you. ”

Xia Ran blinked and nodded decisively.

It seems that if there is no accident, the girl will have to give herself the answer later?

"Thanks, I don't need it." Finding that the classmate under the snow looked at him, Megumi Kato shook his head and softly refused, "I always feel that after the summer vacation, the whole person is a little heavier." ”

"......" The black long straight girl's expressionless gaze swept over the other party's chest, and then nodded as well, "Yes, it is also good to eat less." ”

Xia Ran stretched out his hand and pushed the glasses that didn't exist on the bridge of his nose, I don't know if it was an illusion, he suddenly felt that the brief conversation between the two girls seemed to contain some unnecessary information exchange?

But he wisely didn't say anything.

"Master, you're back, wait, Master, your injuries ......"

At this time, there was a sound of the door opening, and the delicate puppet girl walked in from the outside, and then looked at Xia Ran's bloody embarrassment in great shock.

Then she subconsciously deflected her gaze, and just in time to see Xue Xia Xue, who had come out of the kitchen because she heard her voice, and was about to ask the head maid if she wanted to eat something.

The expressionless girl stood there with an apron and a kitchen knife in her hand.
