"It's really surprising to me, I didn't expect you to invite me to the festival......

Two days later.

On the way to the town of "Mountain Shadow", Tachibana Yukino said with a look of surprise on his face, looking up at Ji Yuehua, who was pushing a wheelchair for him.

Just half a day ago, Ji Yuehua suddenly came to visit her house and invited the two of them to go to the town of "Mountain Shadow" to participate in the festival together.

Because it was an invitation made by a very good acquaintance, and she was really idle in the next period of time————— her sister was going to attend a class reunion, and her friend was going back to her hometown to visit relatives. After a slight hesitation, Tachibana Yukino agreed to Ji Yuehua's invitation.

In fact, since the last time they chatted for several hours, the relationship between the two has somewhat returned to the level they were when they fought side by side in the 13th Division of the Military Headquarters. The gap created by the blank space of five whole years has vanished like a withering and decaying. Therefore, for going out to play with Ji Yuehua, Tachibana Yukino himself has no resistance.

However, even so, Yukino Tachibana still had doubts in her heart.

Although she already knew that Ji Yuehua had been in the past few years...... Especially in the past six months, there has been a great change in personality. However, judging from the signs when the two chatted in the café last time, the current Ji Yuehua is still the innocent junior in his bones. What's more, he has been able to calmly express his good feelings for the two of Yakumo.

People like this have many scruples to put it nicely, and they have a mother-in-law and mother-in-law who have nothing to do with it. Generally speaking, it is not possible to invite an older woman out and play alone without asking for help from the other person.

If that's a common interest between the two, that's a different story. However, things like attending festivals on summer evenings are more like going on a date than going out for a day.

Of course.

Tachibana Yukino didn't think that Ji Yuehua regarded her as a love object. Because of this, she has doubts about this in her heart.

Faced with Tachibana Yukino's questioning, Ji Yuehua's expression on her face remained unchanged, and she replied in a flat voice.

"Well, on a whim."

"On a whim?"

"I heard about this festival from someone a while ago, and I've been looking for someone to accompany me ever since...... Look, if you are the only one who participates in this kind of event, doesn't it feel sad against the backdrop of that lively atmosphere?"

"It's not that I can't understand what you're saying, but...... Why don't you go to President Yakumo or Marshal Wakakei and they accompany you? If it's Yuehuajun, if it's you, they should gladly agree, right?"

"Sister Zi's term of office will end in a few months, and now she has official duties as high as a mountain, so it's better for an idler like me not to disturb her. Sister Ruoxi and Sister Yonglin, because the military department has something to do, they are now hundreds of kilometers away at sea. ”

"I see......"

Seeming to agree with Ji Yuehua's explanation, Tachibana Yukino nodded slightly, and then asked again.

"So, what about those friends who talk to Yue Huajun every once in a while in Xiao Wei's café?"

"Spare me. Four big men go to see fireworks or something together on a summer night, and it's sad just to imagine it......"

"Yuehuajun, you don't look like a boy. Therefore, strictly speaking, it should be three men and one woman. ”

It's all the more pathetic to say that...... I said Sister Yukinai, you did it on purpose, right?"

Seeing Ji Yuehua's puzzled expression in her eyes, Tachibana Yukino covered her lips with her sleeves and giggled.

———— poured down like a waterfall, and her long black hair swayed to the sound of laughter like silver bells.

———— swan-like neck that looms between the collar and the hair.

———— and, with the breeze wafting in, it is like a shampoo and a floral aroma.

Staring at the lovely black-haired beauty in front of her who deliberately changed into a set of clothes after agreeing to his invitation, and looked more lively than usual under the background of the yukata, Yu felt slightly moved at the same time, Ji Yuehua sighed silently in her heart.

As a result, he still lied.

It was true that he was interested in the festival, after all, he had never participated in such a community event in his previous life. However, it is not as exaggerated as he said, he has been thinking about it since he heard about it.

Originally, because Yakumo Zi and the three of them had no leisure, he even thought that it would be better to decline Dongfang Canglong's proposal and wait until everything was settled in the coming year before going to the festival with Yakumo Zi and the others. However, when he remembered Tachibana Yukino, Ji Yue Huaxuan vetoed this idea.

That's right.

Before he quietly runs out to fight the enemy to the death, there is one last thing waiting for him to deal with. That's what Tachibana Chizakura asked him before.

Whether or not to become Tachibana Chisakura's brother-in-law, let's not say that he has reservations about it, and you can leave it for later research. However, it is imperative to make Tachibana Yukino's retirement a little more satisfying.

Although Ji Yuehua himself actually didn't plan to do a good job of the horse leather shroud———— it was precisely because he didn't want to die now, and he couldn't die, that he had the consciousness of desperately dying. But, with his cautious character, it was certainly impossible not to prepare for the worst.

Assuming that he really dies on the battlefield, presumably his two righteous sisters will join forces with Yayi Yonglin to take revenge on those alien creatures like crazy.

It's not that this is a good phenomenon, in all fairness, he prayed from the bottom of his heart that such a situation would not occur————— just as Dongfang Canglong said, it is rare that his love affair that has lasted for more than a dozen is about to be realized, how can he die now?

However, it's also good to be able to find a way to vent your anger. Unlike him, his big sister Yakumo Azusa is not so impulsive. As long as Yakumo Azusa is there, he must be able to suppress the other two...... In a few years, maybe a few of them will follow in the footsteps of Nangong Longfei, let go of their hatred and start a new life.

However, this is not the case with Tachibana Yukino.

It is decisively different from Yakumo Azusa and others, who can rely on each other. The interpersonal relationship of this senior sister is now at the level of close to collapse. What is even more terrifying is that she herself is completely unaware of the false satisfaction that arises from that leisurely life.

Chizakura Tachibana's concerns are justified.

It is conceivable that if he dies on the battlefield, and her friend and Chizakura Tachibana, who runs the café in her place, marries, the senior sister will immediately become alone.

Although he has no emotional relationship with this senior sister, he is responsible for the fact that the other party's life has become unfortunate.

Because of this, before he officially set off to carry out the "suicidal" revenge, Ji Yuehua thought that he had to do something.
