(I am a shell scorched on the outside and tender on the inside3 by thunder...... The titles of these three chapters may all be cheating...... ）

From the very beginning, she was quite different from the other members of the A-01 team.

Of course, this difference is not only in the personality, the important Cheng dù, and even the clothes she wears - then again, Xia's clothes have always been gray and black in contrast to the white uniform of the White Hiiragi Academy, which in itself can be regarded as a difference......

In fact, from the very beginning, Kasumi's cunning zài, not just as a combat officer...... Isn't that meaning?

Although as a member of the squad, most of the time he stayed in this base more than piloting tactical aircraft to participate in combat, which was naturally what I heard from Cai Fenghui.

Moreover, if you have to seriously investigate it, then, although the girls of the entire A-01 team know this girl named Shexia, when did this girl start appearing, and when did she start joining the A-01 team? No one can answer this question.

Even...... Among the girls, they were not able to find this girl in an ordinary way when they wanted to find her, and most of the time it was the power of Guò Xiangyue Xihu, using special communication channels to contact this girl who was so quiet that she couldn't communicate with anyone at all, and only held a pink rabbit puppet every day.

Do you need to do this?

Even if it's Ling Boli, at least when she's a driver, she will occasionally have a brief conversation with everyone in the base, right? Even if it's playing, you'll say goodnight to everyone you're already familiar with before going to bed, right? Even if she is a good person, she will occasionally fold it into a cute heart shape with a sticky note and write inconsequential content in it...... Hmm, that doesn't seem like much to brag about......

All in all, since even the companions who are fighting together are unwilling to communicate, then, what is this girl named Shexia...... How do you spend your day?

Answer...... Right in front of me.

The lovely maiden, in the most gentle and dependent manner, embraced the translucent crystal pillar that could not be hugged with both hands, glowing with a blue light, as if it were the most complete and finely carved blue crystal, and rubbed her cheeks slightly.

Speaking of which, this thing's words...... Actually, I'm familiar with it, right?

In the underground of Ashford Academy, under the leadership of Lelouch, I have seen ...... Same thing.

As the driving core of the "Lancelot" drone, it seems to be the brain of a close friend who died in the previous battle, and it is sealed in the same crystal pillar under the Ashford School Park, with only the brain and spinal cord left, maintaining the last life form.

And this ...... in front of me now I'm afraid it's the other one that I mentioned before.,As the core of the "supercomputer" of the Bailing Hiiragi School Park, there is another one...... Lucky or unlucky.

“……”

"Huh? I'm coming too...... Do you want to touch it? ”

After completing what seemed to be a daily greeting with the brain in the crystal pillar, a girl named Shexia silently dragged the long ears of the pink rabbit puppet to my side, grabbed my fingers, and dragged me to the crystal pillar with all her might.

Looking at the girl's appearance, it seems that I am worried that I will be afraid of seeing such a thing suddenly......

It's just that I don't know why at all...... How could this girl, who had barely communicated with me, suddenly develop such a sense of closeness to me?

Anyway, since it's Kasumi's request, then......

"Yes...... Warm ......"

Instead of feeling as if it was exuding cold, the blue crystal pillar immediately conveyed to my nerves as if it were a gentle human body temperature signal when touched by my fingers.

And, I don't know if it's my delusion, but when I touched this crystal pillar, a series of bubbles suddenly rose from the inside of the crystal pillar, around the brain that was suspended in a translucent, liquid-like space.

“…… Want...... Touch it like this? ”

“…… Well. ”

This time, in response to my question, Shexia answered softly, while carefully rubbing the surface of the crystal pillar with her small palm.

I also followed the girl's movements and moved my palms slightly...... Well, seriously, I'm really worried about breaking something so fragile that it looks like it's going to die if you touch it.

At the very least, I also know about the "friction heat", if this small temperature causes physiological disorders inside......

“…… He's alive. ”

"I ...... I know, it's just ...... WAS STRIPPED OF HIS BODY BY BETA, RIGHT? ”

"Hmm."

While having such a conversation with the girl, I also began to ...... casually Look at the room that looked like it was supposed to be some secret room.

On the floor of the room, there were scattered cables of uneven thickness, some connected to the base under the crystal pillar, and some were placed in the corners of the room, with huge size and countless buttons, and the screen was also flashing with strange signals - in my mind, it must be the so-called supercomputer.

"Kasumi is...... Have you always lived here? ”

In addition to that, I've seen small beds with cute pink bunny sheets that don't fit in with the environment of this room, and it's obvious that there's only one reason for this kind of thing to be here......

“…… You have to stay here with him. ”

After Shexia finished her "intimacy" with Jingzhu, she came to her small bed with the rabbit doll in her arms and sat down quietly......

Hey...... Wait a minute, what's going on with this unspeakable silence?

Although the girl herself has a mouthless character, isn't there something important to say to me when she suddenly summons me to such a place?

As a result, now I have nothing else to do but stand awkwardly in place, which is not what I expected.

"That...... I said Kasumi ......"

“…… Do you want to sleep? ”

The topic is moving too fast

I can't imagine the meaning of this sentence at all...... "Do you want to sleep" can be understood as a word that asks me about my wishes, and although the "want" in this gives me the right to choose, because it is proposed by a woman, I can't refuse, and the most important thing is not this but the interpretation of "sleep......

All right...... Now is not the time to chew on words.

The girl sitting on the bed tilted her head slightly, and looked at me with a lilac, deep gaze that made it impossible to look at me directly, as if waiting for my decision.

"Kasumi really said it...... If that's great...... Ha ha...... Haha......"

I know what is really going on with the girl here, maybe no one else will know except the brain in the bottle, but...... It's a bit of a ...... for me that things are going to get to where they are going to be like this Be all abroad.

Favorability broken table? Special FLAG? But...... In any case, I can't imagine that such a girl, who has nothing to do with me, would suddenly make such a request.

“…… Strange words? ”

The girl blinked suspiciously, as if she didn't understand what I meant.

“…… Everyone said that before the battle, it was better to sleep with someone who was not annoying. ”

Ha?

Wait a minute...... If you understand this sentence according to something else that I have heard in the office before, it should probably be "Before the final battle, give your body to the man you like, so that you will have no regrets", right?

Seriously, the words that Mikoto said by Armor Mai seemed to be a joke, maybe it really moved some of the girls, right? After all, you don't even know if you'll be alive after tomorrow, so take advantage of this time today to indulge a little...... It's not a crime.

But...... I didn't expect it to cause such a misunderstanding as Shexia...... Well, then again......

"Kasumi Tomorrow...... Do you want to go underground and fight together? ”

“…… To drive the Emperor of Sorrow. ”

So,Sure enough,That one is larger than expected,It's the same as I imagined.,Similar to the "mirage building" of Ashford School Park.,A super body controlled by multiple people, right?

If such a huge body is only provided with the energy of one person, then it may be exhausted in a few minutes, and it may not even be able to activate the body.

Speaking of which, what has always struck me as a little strange is that if you choose a driver...... Well, in fact, there was no need to choose as a hostile camp from the beginning, and it was a novice Otonai.

Even if it's Bai Yinwu, his proficiency in manipulating the body will be much higher than that of Yin Wu, not to mention, no matter how exaggerated Yin Wu's driving talent and combat skills are, it is impossible to participate in this battle related to the survival of Bailing Hiiragi School Park and achieve a core position in such a short period of time.

"Kasumi has ...... Got to know Otono? ”

I carefully let my ass land on the bed next to the girl, which was very suitable for Kasumi's size, but the size would give me the illusion that if I sat down, it would just collapse.

“…… There are no associated memories. ”

The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then gave this answer.

"Huh? But...... Aren't you going to drive the Emperor with him next? ”

“…… He's a good guy. ”

Is this always the impression that you have in the eyes of others?

"But...... That's all there is to it...... It seems more appropriate to let Baiyinwu drive, right? ”

“…… There are no associated memories. ”

Here it is again, so I said, no matter how withdrawn you are, you should at least recognize all the companions in your team. V
