“？”

Shouldn't it? Ellie is going to play on the topic again, give me a kick, right?

As soon as this thought came to me, I felt my whole body ache again. Today, my body has been "served" by five men plus Ellie, taking turns! Even if it was an ancient emperor, it was impossible to enjoy this kind of treatment, right?

Just as I was thinking about it, Ellie suddenly raised her head and said to me:

"Human sandbag, you show the old lady the note, it seems that you have guessed it."

“。。。” I swallowed and looked cautiously at Ellie.

What am I going to guess? Guess I had two apples for breakfast today? Or did you guess that you were going to be beaten later? Uncle Ellie, I don't know what this note can guess.

Uncle Ellie, just give me a good time, this hesitation makes me even more tormented!

"I'll tell you first, I did these things, I just felt a little guilty that you were beaten by those five stupid X's!"

Ellie puffed out her cheeks and turned sideways. It's like a tsundere character in some anime.,It's spoiling the male protagonist in this way.。

However, I don't think I'm the male lead, and I don't believe that Elle will feel guilty about being beaten. After all, if you want to feel guilty, why did you beat me so well just now!

"So, Uncle Ellie, what the hell have you done?"

When I asked with a tangled face, I suddenly realized something. The note said that a girl rushed and beat the men. Could it be that Elle is now saying that she helped me clean up the affairs of those five people?

Did she mistakenly think that I was thanking her for taking that note? That's why you put on such an embarrassed look?

After thinking about this, I was a little relieved. After all, as long as Elle doesn't move her hands and feet anymore, it doesn't matter what happens.

"Uncle Ellie, I gave you this note just to say thank you."

I bowed deeply to Ellie. I bowed this time not to avoid any fists, nor to avoid anything in a low voice, but to thank Elle for helping me (by the way, covering up the incident of taking the wrong note). Although it was Ellie who pushed me into danger, she eventually stepped up to my aid.

As a boy, you shouldn't just worry about the hurt and forget to say thank you to the person you are gracious to. (After all, Elle is so good at fighting, I can't do anything if I want to care about the damage)

"Hmm!"

Hearing my words, Ellie, who was leaning sideways, stole a glance at me, and then looked away in a panic and looked in the direction of the setting sun. I must have thanked her so sincerely that she felt shy, right?

"Really, thank you!"

I lowered my head and shouted very seriously. I believe that the gratitude in my heart will be conveyed to Ellie's heart with my voice. (I'm not going to get beaten!) ）

"Ahh It's so strange that you're so weird, don't do that! ”

Ellie stomped her foot and pulled my hair up suddenly, making my bent body straighten again. Then she quickly let go of her hand, crossed her hands over her chest, and asked embarrassedly avoiding my gaze.

"Human sandbag. Won't you be angry? ”

"Angry? No, it won't. ”

Secretly relieved, I frowned. Didn't they just kick me out once, and I was beaten up by five people in turn? Am I such a stingy person that I can remember those things for decades? I'll only remember it for a few years at most.

"You're really not going to be angry."

Ellie bit her lip, her face a little lost inexplicably. Does she want to be held against me so much?

"If it was my wife, I would definitely beat him up!"

As soon as the conversation turned, Ellie glared at me with some anger and waved her little fist a few times in front of me. Don't look at this small fist, if you are hit, it will kill you; I've experienced it many times.

"Huh? Right! Uncle Elle will definitely beat her up. Beat it up. ”

I shrank my head in embarrassment, dodging the "killer weapon" that kept shaking in front of me. I didn't expect Ellie, a violent woman, to get angry and even beat herself?

But then again, if even she thinks she's going to be angry, then why do those things? Whether it's clearing money or fighting, isn't it all annoying?

"That's right! The old lady is going to beat him up! The kind of man who has no responsibility should be beaten to death! ”

The more Elle spoke, the more agitated she became, and she punched me in the stomach with her fist. Her small fist, like some miniature cannonball, almost knocked me out with a punch.

"Poof! Ahem. ”

Clutching my stomach, I fell to my knees trembling on the floor. Meow a mi. Elle beat me for Mao! If you want to fight, go and beat the man who has no responsibility! Hit someone like me. Wait? Is Elle talking about men?

"That Uncle Ellie."

I looked up weakly, my forehead in a cold sweat from the sharp pain in my abdomen; I don't need to look to know that my face must be painful now.

"The person you're going to hit. Isn't it yourself? ”

Judging from the conversation just now, isn't Elle self-reflecting, wanting to change her mind and be a good person! Why is there suddenly an extra man?

"The old lady is not stupid, why do you want to beat yourself? The old lady is going to fight, it is the coward who was saved by us in the morning!! ”

Ellie leaned over and glared into my eyes and said angrily. Her eyes shone with fire, as if she was going to consume me in the next second.

Hey?

Huh?

Why did you hit the boy I saved?

"He didn't carry me to the infirmary, he bought me water."

As I muttered, I suddenly realized something. My head suddenly stunted, and the pain in my abdomen was also left behind.

I remember the scene when I saw the boy in the afternoon. He hurriedly lowered his head and ran away as if he were avoiding me.

Then I remembered the signature on the note - "Coward stays". Would anyone call themselves cowards? There will be, but definitely not much.

"So..."

I looked at Elle in disbelief, feeling that all the beauty I had once believed in was shattered in this moment.

"Ellie. The note is yours. That bottle of water is what you bought. Ellie, you carried me to the infirmary?! ”

No wonder Elle asks me, have I found out? It turned out to be that she found out that she did everything!

No wonder Ellie asks me if I'm angry or not? It turned out that Ellie was angry, obviously she and I saved the boy, but the boy ran away alone like a coward!

Damn it! I still feel that I have done a good deed, and I have been rewarded by others, and I have been happy all afternoon! Did it all turn out that Elle did it?

"Humph! Oh, yes! The old lady will go and beat him up tomorrow! ”

Elle didn't notice my shocked look at all, straightened up, jumped and shook her fist like a boxer.

Looking at the angry Ellie, I suddenly realized another thing.

Why..

Why would Ellie do such a thing? Pretending to be that "coward" and leaving a note for me to buy water? Thinking about this, I fell into a deep confusion.

Don't.. Did she not want me to lose faith in the better world, so she pretended to be that boy?

I don't understand.
