――――― this was thirty-three minutes later, and I ran into the dividing line of the suspicious woman―――――

"Nepdinu, I didn't expect to put it on...... Woooooooooooooooo What the hell was I thinking! No, you have to find a way to change your focus! ”

Sora's eyes were half-closed at the moment, and he was talking to himself slightly in a troubled tone - it was clear that Sora had not yet recovered from the shock.

Although it is seriously said that Sora's actual age is already close to forty, the Hokage's penance life in the past ten years has already re-polished Sora. Whether it's memory, it's character, and the best proof of this is without the help of Nepdunu. An item brand that will always be imprinted in the hollow.

Therefore, even if Sora still vaguely remembers that he was a man who had experienced several times of love in his previous life, but at this moment, Sora's behavior is the same as that of a boy who understands what love is for the first time - although a little different is that Sora does not show his feelings obviously. After all, the current Sora has long forgotten what the mood of love is, to put it cruelly, now Sora has long forgotten that he liked women in his previous life, and he doesn't even remember the name, only the fact that he was in love - and not only that, Sora sometimes vaguely feels that he should forget something very important to him...... That's right, for example, the existence and names of family members are now empty, and I can't even remember any of them.

And it is precisely because of this that the memory of his previous life is almost only a few insignificant little knowledge and his work knowledge in his previous life, so he is not sure whether he is in love with Nie Pudinu, or because of his overly beautiful face and temperament after Nie Pudinu's big transformation after wearing a wedding dress, which he can't forget.

However, this kind of thing is not something that can be forgotten if you want to, just like a man and woman who have done that kind of thing for the first time, and the face of Nie Pudinu after putting on the wedding dress, even if it is empty and wants to forget, it still can't control and keep popping out of his mind.

But Sora is also a man who has been doing penance for ten years that is not at all a human being, and if you want to talk about willpower and control over your own **, Sora can be said to have done quite well.

After pausing to think about Nepdunu for a moment, and focusing his current attention on 'finding the right trinket', Sora was able to calm down for a while - but just then, Sora saw a strange guy.

Even in this crowded shopping street, that person is suspicious - with long silky black hair, and a slender body shape, it can be seen that the person is a girl, of course, yoooo is not ruled out, but so far it is normal...... It's just that when you see your girl's appearance at the moment, you will definitely be suspicious.

He wore a hat on his head, a large pair of sunglasses, a scarf wrapped around his mouth, and a dark coat...... No matter what way you look at it, what else can you say besides the word suspicious.

After all, in addition to suspicious people, this kind of dress is also suitable for some people who dare not show their true faces for personal reasons - for example, a person with normal shame will not be surprised at all if he is thin-skinned when he goes to the sex and toy store for the first time...... Well, this kind of metaphor is a bit strange to say it in a different way, such as how a detective dressed in a world of elementary school students who hid their identities and inquired about news.

But now...... It's a little different. As I have said before, in addition to the vicious killings, there are also people who are spreading rumors to smear Nepdunu - and according to eyewitness testimonies, those rumors are suspicious people who hide their faces tightly and wear overcoats and cloaks.

Although now this rumor has been suppressed by Is, it has calmed down. But the culprit of spreading the rumors has never been caught, not even any news - and now, Sora has found a person who may be spreading rumors, even if it is very likely to be mistaken, but with the idea of 'not afraid of 10,000, just in case', Sora held his breath, hid his breath, and quietly followed behind the suspicious woman with the help of the surging flow of people in the shopping street.

And maybe it was because he understood that this outfit on his body was not a good kind no matter how he looked at it, so the woman moved very fast, and in order not to expose himself, Sora spent a lot of effort following the suspicious woman closely.

――――After three minutes of tracking――――

"Uh...... It looks like a mistake, but fortunately there isn't much time wasted. ”

After following the suspicious woman to her destination, it occurred to Sora that she might be mistaken—and when the suspicious woman excitedly clinged to the glass case, Sora was 100% sure that she must have been mistaken.

After all...... No matter how you think about it, it's impossible to think of a girl looking at the cosplay clothes in the cosplay store with an excited look like a guy who spreads rumors and tries to destroy the peace of the Purple Shine Capital, right? As for the reason why the girl is dressed like this, you don't need to ask and understand - it varies from person to person, and sometimes the interest of cosplay is the same as that of otaku, and it is not very common for the person concerned to like the interest that the people around him know.

The best example of this is the case of a newcomer who said he was serious in the first seven episodes, but in the eighth episode, he revealed his jaw-dropping nature...... There's always a side of people who want others not to know, don't they?

But,Maybe it's because Sora didn't deliberately hide himself after knowing that the girl was not a suspicious person.,Sensing that someone behind him seemed to be staring at his girl.,Turned his head suspiciously.,And then ......

"Nova!?"

Upon noticing the comer, the suspicious girl let out an indefatigable exclamation, but the suspicious girl almost immediately reacted and covered her mouth after being frightened...... However, it was already too late.

"Nova? Wait, this voice, and that weird 'Nova' mouth fetish......"

Sora subconsciously narrowed his eyes and stared at the suspicious girl who was already trying to escape. There were words in her mouth, and at the same time, the suspicious girl who looked at the suspicious girl in her squinted eyes was uncomfortable for a while, and the flush that was flushed because she was seen by someone she knew was even more red, and she explained nervously and loudly.

"You, you've mistaken someone! I'm not a Novalo! ”

“…… Blew yourself up, Nova ...... Dew. But ah......"

Hearing the suspicious girl's nervous self-exposure, Sora was speechless for a while-if it was only suspicion before, hearing the suspicious girl was more of a self-exposure than a justification, and Sora was almost 100% sure that the suspicious girl was Nova Lu.

After all, it's a familiar person in the recent past.,After hearing the girl's voice.,Even if you notice something bad and cover your mouth for the first time.,Plus the girl's self-exposure later.,Sora still noticed the owner of the voice in the first time.,With helpless.,Surprised tone,Subconsciously said.。

Well...... The tone of the empty is understandable, after all, who would have thought that Tsundere and serious Nova Lu...... I even have a special interest in cosplay!

"Nova ......" looked at Novalo like this, and smiled wryly and wanted to speak, but before that, Novalo took the lead.

"This is not the place to talk, come with me!" With words that were completely different from just now, full of courage, but looking at Nova Lu, whose eyes were a little dull at the moment, he felt a chill all over his body.

As soon as Sora hesitated, Novalo had already run far away, and it always felt like he was not looking for a place to talk but preparing to escape, and Sora didn't have the idea of running away now, but ...... After all, no matter what you say, it's your own fault in the first place, plus the look in Novalo's eyes just now really makes people a little worried and scared, after hesitating, Sora followed Novalo and followed Novalo into a corner where there are not many people - it's really a place that makes people think about it, but it's a pity that neither Novalo nor Sora are those guys who fantasize about dirty scenes.

And after seeing Sora follow him into the corner, Novalo, who was dressed suspiciously, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and her mouth whispered to pieces.

"It's great to keep up...... Otherwise, you have to try it and use your strength ......"

Although Novalu's broken thoughts were soft, how could he not hear Novalu's words when he was so close-air—and now Sora was glad that he hadn't escaped.

"Huh-huh-......huh" As if to relax herself, Nova Lu, who began to gradually calm down after there were fewer people around, finally glowed with brilliance again in her pupils after taking a deep breath, but the loss in her eyes did not decrease in the slightest.

"That...... Yo? After Novalo took a deep breath, the atmosphere at the scene was strangely quiet, which made Sora uncomfortable, even if Novalo rushed up and threatened him not to say it, Sora was not surprised, but after seeing that Novalo was still silent in the loss of being seen, Sora was not used to this kind of scene, and opened his mouth to pull out a smile, and asked a little stiffly.

"Yo what...... Alas...... You see it. The ......... who has finally been hidden until now" understands that it is useless to disguise the suspicious girl now--Corrected, Novalo took off her scarf and sunglasses, and did not tie one of her iconic double ponytails, with a dejected look of self-pity, and thought in pieces, it seems, Novalo felt quite shocked and shy that her interest was discovered by the air...... Well, but fortunately, I didn't lose my mind and slashed it with a sword, although it was a little dangerous, and it was almost there.

(Amount...... Oops, messed up again. ）

At this moment, I already regretted why I came with him, and I could say that I was embarrassed - because of curiosity, I had shyly fled Nepkia, although I also saw a beautiful scenery that I would never forget. But now, because of his vigilance, he has broken through the interest that Nova Lu seems to have been hiding until now...... Sora suddenly felt that today might be his unfortunate day.

And at this moment, the only thought in my mind is to get out of here quickly, and the embarrassing atmosphere of mutual embarrassment in the province has continued.

"Uh...... What do you say? Sorry, Novalo, but you're a little ...... because of your previous outfit It's a little too suspicious. That's why I'm following you just to be on the safe side—sorry, Novalo. But don't worry, I will never tell anyone this secret, I will keep this secret. ”

Hearing Sora's words, Novalo's eyes flashed once, and then, Novalo came to Sora's side, her glittering eyes exuding a wonderful sense of coercion, staring at Sora and asking.

"Really!? Really? Willing to keep it a secret for me! ”

Looking at Nova Lu, who was happy but had a wonderful sense of coercion, he smiled bitterly and said.

"Hmm. So don't worry about exposure, Novalo. I won't say a word to anyone else, after all, this matter can be said to be my fault in the first place, so it is natural for Novalo to keep it a secret - but to be honest, although I haven't known Novaro for a long time, I really didn't expect that the serious Novalo would be so interested. ”

(Oops!) Accidentally tell the truth! ）

Maybe it's because of the relaxed and happy daily life now, or just because of the simple influence of Nie Pudinu and others, Sora didn't even realize that his current personality is a little more human than when he was in Konoha, and he is even in the mood to ridicule Novaro.

Although after talking about it again, Sora regretted it almost immediately.

"I'm so sorry to surprise you! Although I thank you for your willingness to help me keep it a secret, but my interest ...... Isn't that weird? That's why I don't want anyone to know. ”

After hearing that Sora was willing to keep it a secret, Novalo's mood could be said to be much calmer, but after hearing Sora's talk, Novalo became depressed - obviously knowing very well that his interest was too different from his usual style. So I can't help it.,It's like I'm asking myself and it's like I'm asking about emptiness, and I don't care about myself before I take emptiness as an object of guard.,Said softly.。

（…… Really, with that kind of expression. No matter how you look at it, it's my fault. ）

Sighing in his heart, Sora scratched one of his broken hair, looking at Nova Lu with a lost face at the moment, Sora deeply felt his responsibility - but time cannot be reversed, so Sora understands that no matter how much he regrets it, it is useless. So I had to start racking my brains to think about how to talk to get Novalo back to normal.

“… Novalo, don't be so disappointed, although I did be a little surprised to see that Novalo's interest is cosplay, but it was only surprised. I don't have anything else. ”

"Huh? To put it this way...... Don't you think it's weird? I'm a goddess, but I have this interest. Isn't the image of peacetime completely inconsistent? ”

Hearing Sora's words, it temporarily ended the confused rhetorical question of the lost Novalo, and it was obvious that for Novaro, this interest was a knot in her heart.

"Although Novalue is not wrong when you say that...... But Novalo may be the reason for spending so much time with Nepdunu. To me, before you became a goddess, you were just a lovely girl with great power. Isn't it normal for a girl to have an interest in cosplay? I like beautiful clothes, as far as I know, this is an ordinary normal girl, isn't it? You don't need to worry too much about it. ”

"So, I'm sorry to bump into Novaro's interest that you never wanted others to know, but I think it's not surprising that Novalo is so cute and beautiful, and you have this kind of girlish interest. Personally, I think it will make Novalo even more cute after wearing this kind of clothes. And in this way, it is in line with a girl, isn't it? ”

"Also, although we haven't been together for a long time, from what I've heard from IF, unlike Nepdunu, Nova Lu has always mastered your interests and work status very well, haven't you? Otherwise, I've been here for more than a month, how could I not have heard of the decline of faith in the Black Earth Frontier - some time ago, Nova showed your serious side, I also saw it, didn't I. So I know that even now, Novalo must have already chosen a gift before you came here, right? ”

Sora's words surprised Novalo for a while - because as Sora said, Novalo had already chosen a gift, and because he saw that there was time left, he would come to this store, and his interest was only to play during breaks, and Novalo has always been meticulous in his work during working hours.

Although tsundere and not frank...... But in fact, Novalo is the most normal and hardworking of the four goddesses. After all, there are three other ...... Anyway, it's not surprising that people are focused on their own interests and forget about their beliefs.

But that's only part of the story, and what really surprised Novalu...... It's what Sora said before.

'To me, you were nothing more than a powerful, lovely girl before you became a goddess'—a word that even Novalo had never heard or thought of.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, although the goddesses of any country are a bit close to the people and wonderful, there is no doubt that they are goddesses and gods. It was several times that saved the game industry from crisis and led to the existence of the country, which, while close to the people, is still supreme to ordinary people - and that's pretty much it.

In the eyes of the people, they are not people, but gods - and in fact, even the most unreliable Nepdinu understands that he is a goddess - not a human being.

And after being surprised, Novalo naturally recalled Sora's previous words and said that he was cute...... Novalo said that she would never admit that she was a little blushing and shy just now - although Novalo was not unpraised for being cute, but most of those were girls, and Novalo still rarely encountered boys who bluntly said that they were cute.

After all, unlike Nepdinu's kind of commission that almost does everything, most of the commissions made by Novalo are commissions to crusade and destroy monsters, which can not only improve faith, but also improve the prestige of being a goddess and the strength of the goddess, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone, and because of this. Except for the men of his own Black Earth Frontier Garrison and the soldiers he trained, Novalo had little contact with ordinary men. Almost most of it is for the purpose of work.

So, the first time I heard a blunt compliment from the opposite sex, Novalo was inevitably shy. But of course, this level of shyness only made Nova blush, and he quickly returned to normal. Hiding this shyness for the time being, Novalo said, focusing on what Sora had said before.

"Before we were goddesses, were we still girls...... It's the first time I've heard of this. Although it feels like a kind of sophistry...... But thanks, empty. ”

Novalo is not stupid, although he was shy and blushing by Sora's praise, Novalo could still hear it, and in Sora's words, there was also a meaning that he didn't need to care too much about this interest and would cause others to look at him strangely.

That's why Novalo said thank you.

"Thanks? I don't remember what I've done to make Novalo worthy of your gratitude, but I'm a troublesome guy who keeps bothering you...... Since that monster attack, hasn't the security force of the Black Earth Border Region and the Goddess's parade time increased greatly? I don't know if this counts as atonement - but when that monster appears, please contact me as soon as Nova Lu appears, and I'll take care of breaking the barrier - though even I don't know why I can do it. ”

After that, Sora laughed at himself, and although the expression on his face was well concealed, Novalo keenly grasped and understood the meaning of that look—that look, which was called self-blame.

（………… Speaking of which, Nepdinu mentioned it to me before...... ）

Seeing the expression hidden on Sora's face at this moment, and remembering the situation of Sora mentioned by Nepdinu when he contacted him before, Nova Lu sighed slightly and spoke.

"Ah, I see, so in the future, I'll leave it to you, Sora-so in the future, don't do anything stupid. Although the time we have been together for a short time, Nepdinu and the others really regard you as a partner. ”

Novalo's words stunned Sora for a moment, but then smiled and replied.

"Ah, I see, Novalo, thank you for your concern...... By the way, Novalo, I was going to give you a gift, but now that it's happening, let's buy a piece of clothing - this is a gift of kindness and advice in the future, please don't refuse. ”

"By the way, if you're worried about your wallet...... Don't worry about this, I've been doing very well-paid security commissions lately, and my purse is quite abundant, one or two clothes, which is completely affordable. ”

In a row, he swallowed the words back into his stomach directly to Novalu, who wanted to say something of refusal, so that Nova Lu smiled helplessly, nodded slowly, and said.

“…… Hey, although it is said that it is useless. But you've got it all to say...... I'll accept it with gratitude. Of course, this doesn't mean that I will completely relax my guard against you after that. After all, you're pretty suspicious. ”

Nova Lu, who said this with a smile, made Sora helplessly show a wry smile. , scratched his hair, and said.

"Got it. But in the future, I will prove it all with my actions...... How, Novalo. ”

"That's a good answer, in the future, you have to work hard. Looking forward to your activity. But for now, by the way, for the empty you who seem to have found your target...... In the days to come, please advise me. Not as strangers, but as friends and partners - and, of course, suspicious people. Strange guys. ”

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he raised his right hand at the same time. Although the location was on the corner of the shopping street and Novalo was still wearing a large black suit, it still did not prevent a wave of emotion from surging in the hollow's heart, and Sora smiled at Novaro's movements, stretched out his right hand and clasped Novaro's hand together, and replied with a smile,

"Ah, in the future, as friends and companions, and suspicious strangers—I'll ask for a lot of advice, Novarousan, Lord Black Heart."

The boy and the girl each stretched out their right hands, and at this moment, clasped each other.
