However, he did not show any attachment at all.

It doesn't hurt to say it's cold-blooded.

That aside—at least he should have made sure he was dead, right?

He has an obligation to keep the consequences of his betrayal firmly in his eyes, isn't he?

And the way he committed suicide was very simple.

Suicide by poisoning.

The technique is clean and neat, as if it has long been ready to die.

Probably because I was afraid that someone would stop me, so I quickly cut myself off.

It's ridiculous.

It's simply selfish. Isn't it pitiful to die like this?

-- But── Xia Jing, on the other hand, has a different view.

The reason why Tian Zhi didn't go to see Yao's body was not that he didn't want to see it, but that he believed that Yao didn't want him to see his death? I don't want my body to be seen by my loved ones after fighting Lan Yang, and the body that has been gradually engulfed in wounds—maybe it's because he understands Xiao's feelings, so he doesn't choose to hold her body and mourn.

So is that why he chose the hospital room where he died? Choose this place where she still has her smell, where she lived in the past, and where she can feel the bits and pieces between the two of them the most.

And Yasuno said

Before she died, when Ye Chun asked if she had any last words, she replied like this.

- No.

Obviously the beloved is close at hand, but there is nothing to leave to him.

In short, it's an almost blind trust. The confidence that you don't need words to convey your feelings, the proof of the bonds that are hopelessly tied together

Therefore, Xia Jing couldn't complain.

Even if he can't accept it, even if he thinks there must be a better solution.

「…… What is incomprehensible is incomprehensible after all."

The sun goes down and night falls.

Later, Xia Jing and the others left the hospital and returned to the secret base prepared by the "Sheng".

I heard that Tian Zhi's body was disposed of in private. His retired father is still alive and will be taken over by him and his brother, who runs the hospital on the table, in the short term...... Having said that, Xia Jing and the others have not met with them, and they don't have that spare time at present.

The group is now in a state of vigilance.

There was no one in the five-ping-big guest room except for Xia Jing, and there was no sound. Xia Jing tried to talk to himself, only to hear the voice echo emptyly. This room is exaggeratedly big, and each of them has their own room, and now they are all locked in their own rooms.

It's inevitable that they will want to be alone.

Seeing that Yasuo was killed in front of him, Anye seemed to be at a low ebb, and Lan Yang was seriously injured. Ye Ya and Lin Yu should also want to be alone and settle their thoughts.

Of course, the current situation does not allow everyone to continue to be depressed like this.

Xia Jing sighed while carefully reading the note that Ye Chun handed over to Shazi.

The time specified by the other party is 4 o'clock in the evening of the next day, and the location is a certain section of the road at the foot of the mountain of the "Lost House". As long as you get there on time, someone will lead the way.

I didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to open the door to meet the enemy.

Mulai is still very happy, but it is too hasty to choose tomorrow. Eighty percent of the opponents plan to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and take advantage of the blow of our side to regain their strength from the blow of their death...... It should be said that taking advantage of our low morale to lead the war was really a well-planned and foolproof plan.

That being said, this one-on-one approach is very Suzuka-esque. It's like a duel with us. In this sense, it can be said to be very simple and straightforward.

The question is whether our side, strictly speaking, only Xia Jing himself, will be able to exert its combat strength normally tomorrow.

Frankly, the mood is heavy right now. Just thinking about what happened during the day makes me feel very depressed and unhappy.

Just as Xia Jing was thinking about these things, the glass door leading to the corridor opened with a "click".

「…… Huh?"

Xia Jing, who was lazily lying on the sofa, sat up with her upper body.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be Lan Yang standing at the door.

"Doesn't it matter if you don't sleep?"

Xia Jing asked curiously.

"Hmm."

Lan Yang nodded while rubbing his eyes.

"The spine and internal organs should be almost healed. But...... I'm so hungry."

"Wait a minute—next."

Xia Jing walked to the wall and picked up the walkie-talkie installed in the guest room.

After a while, the sand responded.

"What's the matter?"

"Senior Sister Lanyang is here, she's crying out that she's hungry."

"Got it."

The call was hung up with a "poof". Three minutes later, the meal was delivered to the room. It's just that

"How is this ......?" That amount of weight made Xia Jing couldn't help but mumble to himself.

It's extraordinary. I saw three women in charge of preparing the meal and carrying the food to the table one by one.

a salad that is like a hill in a huge bowl; Visually inspect a single serving of about 200 grams of steak with a total of five pieces; White rice filled with a three-in-one capacity rice cooker; In addition to these main dishes, there are also a variety of side dishes such as ramen, fried dumplings, fried shrimp, and salt-grilled mackerel for one person each.

Finally, there is a juice full of about five liters of juice to finish off. The aroma is mixed with apples, oranges, pineapples and other fruits, so it seems that it is a mixed fruit juice.

The woman who prepared the meal had an indifferent attitude, and after moving the meal as usual, she bowed her head and said "quit" before leaving the room.

Lan Yang dragged one leg to the sofa, and then sat down with a jump.

"Ugh...... Senior Sister Lanyang?"

"Do you want to eat it too?"

Lan Yang replied with a casual expression. Frankly, just looking at it fills me.

"Are you going to eat all of this alone?"

"It may be difficult to eat it all, but it is as much as you want."

After that, I saw her open the rice cooker with a bowl in her hand, and after filling the rice until it could no longer be filled, she picked up the chopsticks. The next picture is like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, breaking the common sense of the summer scene.

Strictly speaking, Lan Yang did not gobble up, but chewed slowly.

But Xia Jing was still dumbfounded. She didn't eat very quickly or quickly, or shoved food into her mouth, but the plates on the table were empty in the blink of an eye.

Xia Jing couldn't help but look at the clock on the wall to confirm.

It was only three minutes before the rice was started, and the second bowl of rice was filled. After five minutes, the salad was half less. After ten minutes, the steak was missing three pieces. Ramen is used for a change of flavor in the middle of the game. Fried shrimp and the like have disappeared without a trace before you know it.

I saw her holding in both hands a container full of mixed juice, whether it should be classified as a large beer mug or a bucket, in short, a very large container, and then drank it cutely like a rabbit, and when she put the container back on the table, the juice was actually less than a third, in other words, about a little less than half a liter. It's just.

Now the question is not how big the capacity of her stomach bag is, but whether the food she eats in Lan Yang's mouth has exceeded her own volume, but this question will not be answered even if she wants to break her head, so Xia Jing gave up thinking.

「…… Won't you eat it?"

Lan Yang was halfway through eating, raising his head and staring at Xia Jing.

"No, no, I'll just wait to pick up your leftovers."

The question of whether there will be leftovers is aside.

- So......

I have the impression that I have heard someone say it.

Although the deer clan has amazing vitality and resilience, it needs to consume calori when healing, just like humans. Of course, the energy conversion efficiency of the deer clan should be far better than that of humans, but all living beings must need to be replenished when healing.

In other words, Lan Yang's injuries were so serious that if he didn't rely on such a large amount of diet to replenish his nutrition, he probably wouldn't be able to recover.

She said that the spinal thrust and internal organs were almost healed.

If this sentence is reversed, her body has only healed to the extent that it does not affect walking and eating. And before sitting on the couch, she was still dragging one leg. It seems that it is difficult to make a significant difference by just supplementing sleep.

"I'm sorry, Senior Sister Lanyang."

Thinking of this, Xia Jing almost unconsciously apologized.

「…… Huh?"

Lan Yang chewed something in his mouth and asked why.

"If I could have been a little more shrewd, you wouldn't have been so badly injured, senior sister."

If you don't send Lan Yang to walk with you

If only she was allowed to carry a weapon to protect herself

"It's not just that I'm annoyed that my senior sister was hurt. I ...... at that time."

Failed to stand on the front line of the battle.

Just as he was about to say this, p.

Lan Yang's word stopped Xia Jing's apology.

「…… Huh."

"You can't go on, Xia Jing."

Lan Yang put down his chopsticks.

She faced Xia Jing and fixed her eyes on him.

"My injuries can heal with enough sleep and diet. However, if it was you who was traveling with you at that time, it would have caused irreparable results...... Besides, I can only blame myself for getting hurt, because I am too weak. That's not Xia Jing's responsibility."

"But ......"

Xia Jing wanted to refute.

Lan Yang looked directly at Xia Jing's gaze sharply with extremely sincere, but somewhat condemning eyes.

"Hey, Natsujing...... Don't take care of things that you don't have to do. Don't take it all alone. Let us take responsibility for ourselves.

Everything is self-finished, and you make conclusions with your own thoughts...... Isn't that just like Dr. Tian Zhi and me used to be?"

"Ah......h

Xia Jingru was drunk.

- Speechless.

Self-completion. Don't rely on others, take everything alone.

That's not enlightenment. It's just paranoia.

Even if the form is different, but in terms of the result, it is no different from Tian Zhi.

"And—"

Lan Yang continued.

The expression on his face changed to a faint smile.

"It's true that everyone has worries and problems that he has to carry. But...... If there is someone around you to protect you, you are not afraid of being confused and losing your direction. You can keep working hard and not be defeated."

A thought-provoking remark.

There is a trace of naughtiness that you may not find at all if you don't pay close attention.

"What does that mean......"

"I have Xia Jing by my side, so I can continue to work hard."

Lan Yang stood up.

"So, Xia Jing just needs to find someone to protect him...... I'm well fed, I'm going to sleep."

As if everything he wanted to say was finished, Lan Yang quickly turned around and left.

She still limped when she walked, and she should be able to recover after a good night's sleep.

"Well, it's safe." After seeing Lan Yang leave the living room, Xia Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

He was worried about me again, enlightened me again, and didn't forget to push me behind my back.

Alas—she really is......

If my sister were still alive, she would have said the same thing to me. Xia Jing was so convinced without any grounds.

"So ......"

Xia Jing got up.

In this way, it is impossible to talk about not taking active action. My sister persuaded her so hard, if she was still indifferent, it would be too useless. The most important thing is that Xia Jing himself doesn't want to become rigid in his thinking.

Xia Jing stepped without hesitation and left the living room.

At the same time, I thought to myself, "Where's that guy's room?" This kind of problem.

After knocking on the door, an answer came from the room, "Wait a minute", and then I waited for about ten minutes.

Xia Jing, who was led into the room, couldn't help but smile.

It's hard to put into words—a room with a lot of personality.

Originally, it was a bedroom for visitors, so all the furniture in the room was basic. There is a bed, a dressing table, and a wardrobe, and the size is about four tsubos.

But the interior layout has become very strange.

The quilt that was supposed to be on the bed was spread to the floor. According to Ye Ya herself, it seems that she feels more secure sleeping on the floor.

The space became cramped due to the quilt on the floor, so the dressing table was pushed into the corner.

As for the reason why the wardrobe door is open and not closed, it is because the kimono hanger protrudes.

「…… Ugh."

"Sit there, Natsujing."

Ye Ya pointed to the bed that didn't even have a mattress. I couldn't find a place to sit and relax.

- Forget it.

Maybe she's used to living in her room. Although the biggest reason is that the logic of the parties is a little flawed, Xia Jing decided not to discuss which factor.

"Running suddenly, what's the matter?"

Ye Ya seemed a little angry.

"Suddenly ......? Isn't it convenient for me to come and disturb me now?"

Xia Jing thought that she was busy with other things, but Ye Ya blushed.

"It's not that you're not welcome. Just ask you to be considerate...... Anyone who knocks on the door will be troubled. I need to prepare for that too."

At this time, Xia Jing found out

Ye Ya meticulously changed into Hanfu.

Before Xia Jing knocked on the door, she was supposed to be wearing loungewear—the kind of clothes that were completely plain and had a simple belt style. She didn't want Xia Jing to look sloppy, so she hurriedly changed into the current set of Hanfu.

"But I've seen you in loungewear a few times before."

"These two things don't mix, stupid!"

「…… Whoa!"

The pillow slammed into it. Because it was smashed quite hard, it hurt a little.

"You really don't know anything about a girl's heart......

Hearing this guy say the word 'girl's heart', Xia Jing couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement.

However, Xia Jing was also a little relieved. She had thought she might be depressed by the blow of the loss, but now it seemed that she could pull herself together.

But Xia Jing didn't realize that she would appear energetic because of his presence. And he didn't realize that it would take ten minutes to open the door, and it wasn't just because he had to change clothes.

Instead, in order to hide the red eyes of crying, a thin powder was applied to the face. Xia Jing was not clever enough to notice these small details.

It's just that Ye Ya has just lost her relatives and friends after all, so is it suitable to discuss her troubles with her. It makes Xia Jing feel hesitant.

Maybe he noticed the doubts in Xia Jing's heart
