For some reason, Alyssa felt her face burn. Well, it must be because the bath water is too hot, it must be.

Should it be said to be unexpected or expected? The sea-classmate who looks like a big lady turns out to be a real big lady. When she came to her door before, Alyssa was taken aback. She really didn't expect to see such a mansion with a butler and a maid (albeit a messy student).

She's a little uncomfortable now, but the reason for her discomfort isn't here.

Right now, she's soaking in the bath of the Umihara family's bathroom. And beside her, the mother and daughter of Haiyuan also soaked in the bath with her.

On the grounds that she should wash her body well when she comes back from the hospital, Mrs. Umihara dragged her and Dome into the bathroom half-forcedly. Although the bath in the Umihara family is not as large as the public bathhouse, it is not small. At least it is enough for three people to bathe together.

Alyssa quietly glanced at the mother and daughter.

Because it was in the bath, it goes without saying that all three of them were naked. The respective body shapes that were originally dressed and somewhat covered are now naturally clear at a glance.

How to say that...... It's a bit of a feast for the eyes. Even Alisa, who is of the same sex, thinks so.

Whether it's Mrs. Kaihara or Qiongno, they are the kind of women who give people a "softness". But specifically, although it feels similar, it is still a little different.

Qiongno, who was smaller than her, although she was a little shy at this time buried half of her face under the water, but even so, it could be seen that her body was extremely well-proportioned. Whether it is the slender legs, the tight waist, and of course, the beautifully shaped breasts that Alyssa, who is also a woman, has to think that she is inferior, and the smooth skin that seems to be dripping with water...... She can probably be said to be the ideal girl in her imagination.

Moreover, she also gives people a soft and soft look like a cotton wrap, which always makes people feel that they will be happy if they fall asleep with her.

In contrast, Mrs. Haiyuan has more of a ** charm. Although she is a mother of two children, the years have surprisingly left no traces on her body, and the flow of time seems to have bypassed her. I'm afraid that even if she is only 20 years old, some people will believe it. And......

Although she is the kind of woman who gives people a "soft feeling" like her daughter, she does not have a gentle enveloping feeling like the dome. Rather, it's like jelly, which is soft but has a sense of rejection that will bounce people away.

"Uh-huh."

As her gaze swept over the mother and daughter, Mrs. Umihara looked at her in the same way. Didn't say too much, just looked at her with a faint smile. It's just that......

It was so close, but Alyssa had a feeling. It was as if Mrs. Kaihara's gaze was projected from the other side, which might not be too far away, but she couldn't see it at all.

"Qualified."

I don't know what I'm talking about, but Mrs. Kaihara clapped her palm. Crystal water droplets splashed onto the cheeks of the dome that came out of the water, and it was a beautiful sight that made people hold their breath.

It's just that even Dome didn't understand what her mother said, and Alyssa, who was an outsider, was naturally even more so. Then......

"Little Alyssa, will you come to the backyard later?"

Mrs. Kaihara said quietly.

_

Ten minutes later, Elisa, who had changed her clothes, obeyed Mrs. Haiyuan's request and came to the backyard of Haiyuan's house.

She was going to stay here for a short time today, so naturally she was embarrassed to refuse her master's request. However, even if it weren't for this reason, she would probably follow Mrs. Umihara's advice.

This unbelievably young lady is also incredible. This shallow curiosity is probably the real driving force. Whatever the motive, Alyssa did as Mrs. Umihara asked.

It's already night, and although this year's summer has been unusually hot, the difference in temperature between day and night seems to be quite large. In the evening, the evening breeze will still drive away some of the heat and make the night appear cooler.

"Meow!"

The white kitten ran out of the way, paused in front of Alyssa for a moment, and then deftly jumped a few steps and disappeared from her field of vision. Then, a breeze blew against her cheeks.

In this moonlit night, the birds of the same color as the night skim the bluestone paved ground, as if turning the world upside down.

Looking in the direction where the bird flew away, Alyssa's gaze in the backyard was unconsciously attracted.

In the center of the backyard, in the center of the garden paved with curved stone slabs, a figure is dancing.

A thin blue scarf was draped over his head, and his long three-strand braids floated out with a swirl. The same light blue cloak is fastened only by silver locks at the shoulders. Even the clothes on his body were the same light blue, and the skirt was woven of materials like tulle and fabric, which seemed to shine under the moonlit night, like a prism refracting colorful traces.

The low and beautiful female voice makes the rhythm reverberate all around in the way of chanting, and although the style is different, it feels like it is not inferior to itself. But in terms of expressiveness, there is a world of difference. Because there is one thing that Alyssa thinks she will never be able to compare.

In the bizarre and exotic colors, Mrs. Kaihara danced gracefully. Silver Moon's Damascus scimitar swirled in her hand, like a crescent moon swirling around her body.

Whether it is the costume or the dance itself, it is deeply attracted to Elisa's attention. It is a pure physical beauty, which is even more direct and penetrating into the human heart than words.

One foot "clicked" on the ground, and suddenly, abruptly, Mrs. Kaihara stopped dancing beautifully. At this moment, Alyssa even felt a sigh of "what a pity" in her heart.

Raising his hand and throwing the scimitar into the air, the exotic dress gently lifted and slowly fell. In a few steps, the elegant lady had come to her.

"What do you think?"

Without giving any explanation, as if it were taken for granted, Mrs. Kaihara spoke softly. Even without any explanation, people can immediately understand the meaning of her words.

"It's beautiful."

Alyssa admired from the bottom of her heart.

For such admiration, Mrs. Kaiyuan only smiled slightly. Because of such admiration, she heard it more than anyone else. Turning her body slightly, she didn't even look into the air, she just reached out and flicked it on the crescent moon that fell from the night, which could even cut off the steel "crescent" like a well-behaved kitten quietly burrowed into the sheath.

It's amazing.

"I've heard your songs, and in terms of singing skills, it's enough. It's just that there are a few other elements that are needed to make your wish come true. It's a pity that I'm not good at teaching students, so I can't teach you that. ”

Lady Kaihara shook her head lightly and sighed. Although it is an exclamation, there is something special hidden in the words.

This part of the hidden words, Alyssa did not miss. It's just that......

"I ...... too Can it be done? ”

"Well, of course. I'm very confident in my vision, and as I said earlier, you have what it takes to do all that. ”

Alyssa blinked, she finally understood now what Mrs. Kaihara's "qualified" meant in the bath before.

To be honest, Alyssa is quite excited. It is impossible not to feel envious of the graceful form and dance displayed by Mrs. Kaihara. My dream is to one day be able to go on a bigger stage and sing my songs to everyone. Once on stage, language is more than just something that travels through air vibrations. As Mrs. Kaihara just showed, it was not inferior to the expressiveness of singing.

The idea of "if I could do it myself" is undeniably very appealing. It's just that there is a natural obstacle in front of her, and even if Lady Kaihara says that she has such potential, this obstacle cannot be overcome. Because, that is something that has absolutely nothing to do with personal effort.

"But...... I don't have the extra money to hire a teacher. ”

This is a very objective reality, no matter how hard she tries, the allowance as LV.0 will not rise by a cent. If only she could have the money to hire a teacher, the process of learning music would not have been so difficult.

After Alyssa finished speaking, the smile that had always hung on Lady Kaihara's face became even stronger.

"Hehe, that's right. But why did little Alyssa think I brought you here? The gentle lady cocked up her forefinger. It's just a little bit of my personal interest, but I don't think my husband would object to it if it was just that. The support you need, with my pocket money, can still do it. Also, I happened to know a teacher who was the most suitable fit. ”

Subtly, with some old and odd wording. The smile that always hung on his face did not change, his always gentle voice did not change, and even the tone of voice that had always been the same did not change.

But for some reason, there was a moment when Alyssa felt something terrifying from that gentle smile.

It's night, but it's summer. Even if it's cool, there's no denying that the average temperature is still on the high side. Even though it's in such a season, there's a feeling of a cold snap passing through.

"Ah......h

As if suddenly noticing Alyssa's expression, Mrs. Umihara made a soft voice. It was only for a moment, and the feeling that Alyssa had felt before disappeared as if it had never existed.

"Oh no, I accidentally forgot that the decision of all this is little Alyssa, yourself. Well, don't be influenced by me, the path is your own choice. Don't make a decision too quickly, little Elisa, you should think about it. ”

Mrs. Kaihara smiled wryly, and the atmosphere suddenly eased. Alyssa also breathed a sigh of relief, but ......

As she spoke, the young lady felt the same as she had been in the bathroom. And, it's even more obvious.

It's like an audience outside the stage, watching the performance on stage through a wall that the actors on stage can't see.

_

The moonlight swayed, and even the world seemed to shake.

"I didn't expect to see you wearing this dress again."

"Don't you think it's pretty?"

The young lady smiled playfully.

"As long as it's the clothes you wear, it looks good."

"Less! You weren't the Alice sister who provoked me again before you had just dated me. ”

"Ahem!" In an instant, the wife's words made the man look like a cat with his tail stepped on, which was really funny. "It's not a big deal to make a mistake when you're young, right?"

"The bag doesn't include the one that was strong on me at the time?"

"You don't have that, do you? If you resist, what can I do with you? ”

The couple glared at each other and laughed together. The man reached out, pulled his wife into his arms, and gently hugged her from behind.

"Does it work?"

The man whispered in his wife's ear.

"This dress will make her hesitate. In her heart, she probably wouldn't want to face the opponents of this system. took advantage of her psychological resistance a little, and felt a little embarrassed. ”

As she spoke, his wife turned her head away and offered a kiss to her husband.

"Is she still watching?"

"I'm afraid not. She's a very simple person, probably embarrassed to look at us like this. ”

"What, no matter how long you live, a little ghost is just a little ghost after all." The man laughed and pulled his wife's long hair from behind. "It's incredible, why can you even feel such a thing?"

"It's not difficult at all, the fourth wall is always only for the actors on stage, that's all."

When I said this, I felt that the atmosphere changed in an instant. As a husband, he couldn't help frowning at this time.

"You're saying that again."

There was a hint of reproach in the man's tone. But his wife just smiled and ......

"I said back then, if you need it, I'll be your **; Or, be your friend; Or, to be your enemy; Or, become a victim of death at your hands. I'll be the person you need for as long as you need me. Remember? ”

For some reason, as if singing, he uttered such words of excessive self-devotion.

"The other side ......"

For a moment, the man felt speechless.

"It's rare for me to change into this dress again, at least let me hear if I've changed in your eyes." His wife gently cocked up her index finger. "Honey, who am I?"

"Do you need to talk about that?" The man turns his wife's body around and makes her face him. "You are my lovely childhood sweetheart, my trusted friend, my virtuous and gentle wife, and ......"

The man paused.

"My opponent in a life-and-death fight."

Behind the scenes

_

Alyssa was a little overwhelmed.

Mrs. Kaihara said that she would be introduced to a teacher in body and dance. But as a result, it took her to a company.

Will there be enough people here to be called teachers? It sounds a bit incredible.

"That person is a little awkward, she doesn't want to be in front of others, so we have to use a compromise solution."

Mrs. Kaihara explained. This explanation, to be honest, only makes Alyssa even more strange.

The young lady, who seemed to be the person in charge of the company, took her and Mrs. Kaihara to a room that was so empty that there was nothing after listening to Mrs. Kaihara's explanation.

What the hell is going on?

In her confusion, she began to feel uneasy.

"Huh. If you're nervous now, you'll be scared when the time comes. ”

Mrs. Kaihara said mildly, as usual. She gestured to the young lady who seemed to be the head of the company, and the person in charge pressed the remote control in his hand.

As if clean water had washed away the dirt, an ancient wall of huge stones appeared in the room where there was nothing.

At this time, she was in a square that was not very wide. Strangely, one end of the square was actually separated by a wall.

Of course she was in a room, there was no doubt about it. So what you see now is......

"Virtual reality technology?"

Although when it comes to learning, Alyssa is not qualified. But since she's in the school city,For some of the super-era technologies in the school city,She's naturally heard of it.。

"That's it. Wait a minute, the teacher who taught you will come in a while. ”

With a hint of a mischievous smile,

The person in charge also smiled and nodded. The two closed the door and exited, looking like they had opened a passage through the space. Now, Alyssa is the only one left here.

"It's amazing......"

Stand under the wall and reach out and touch the wall gently. She had to sigh at the wonder of this technology, even the feeling of touch, so real.

Walking slowly along the wall, she wondered, where the hell was this? Or rather, what exactly is the simulation of?

The wall is not very wide, about 50 meters. Soon it came to an end. As a result, when she was about to reach the end, she bumped into a person.

"I'm sorry!"

She instinctively apologized, and suddenly, she sensed something unusual.

Why is there someone else in this imaginary scene?

"This is the 'Wailing Wall,' located in the Old City of Jerusalem, and it is the holy place for the Jews."

Familiar voices, familiar figures. When Alyssa looked up and saw the person she had hit, she almost couldn't help but exclaim.

It was a character that could not exist in reality, the virtual idol AQUA, who was standing in front of her alive.

Of course, the surprise is only for a moment. Since virtual reality technology can simulate real landscapes, it is not difficult to simulate a non-existent character.

"You're Murgo Alyssa, aren't you? Hello, Ms. Umihara has entrusted me to instruct you on something. ”

AQUA SAID, HOLDING OUT HIS HAND TO HER.

In fact, when she learned that it was virtual reality technology, she had already guessed most of it. The teacher introduced by Mrs. Kaihara was afraid that she would appear in front of her as a virtual image, and she vaguely felt it. It's just that she didn't expect that the teacher would use AQUA's avatar.

Holding AQUA's palm, even if it was only virtual, made her feel as if the soft hand had a temperature.

"Excuse me, you ......"

AQUA WAVED HIS HAND.

"Don't use honorifics, I'm younger than you, senior sister."

"Huh?"

Alyssa's mouth opened wide in surprise. Judging from Mrs. Kaihara's statement alone, she thought she was an older teacher. But I didn't expect it

"Senior sister, have you heard what Ms. Kaihara said? Actually, I rarely appear in front of other people's eyes. ”

UNDER THE BLUE SKY, AQUA OPENED HIS ARMS. Jump to the top of the virtual wall up to 18 meters in one step. It's incredible, but since it's a virtual spectacle, it's not surprising.

Standing at the top of the sacred wall, AQUA spun around and danced like Lady Kaihara last night.

"It's just Ms. Kaihara's request, and I can't refuse. Because ah......"

In the same way as Mrs. Kaihara last night, she abruptly and abruptly stopped dancing. Turning around, he looked at Alyssa condescendingly.

Although he knew that she was not here at this time, it was as if she was really right in front of her.

"Look, isn't she like my mother?"
