"Chu Xuan, that ...... What do you think? ”

After Chu Xuan came out of Deputy Commander Dongyue's office, the black cat that had been waiting outside immediately greeted him, looked at Chu Xuan's face cautiously and asked.

In her opinion, Chu Xuan must have been severely criticized by Deputy Commander Dongyue, and it must have been more terrifying than being called to the training room by the teaching director to criticize, but Chu Xuan's face was still as calm as ever.

"Don't worry, Deputy Commander Dongyue just chatted with me for a while about the things in Super Robot Wars."

"Liar, huh? Although Deputy Commander Dongyue looked kind, how could he not say anything. ”

The black cat's eyes immediately showed a look of disbelief...... It seems that no one will believe the truth.

"There is a saying that 'the drum does not need a heavy hammer', and I know the mistakes I have made, so Deputy Commander Dongyue naturally does not need to reprimand me.

And everyone actually knows this matter in their hearts, and everyone knows that it is impossible for the 'superiors' to really punish me in any substance, so what the deputy commander of Dongyue, as the 'superior', needs to do is just show a gesture. ”

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and in just a few words, he clearly analyzed the "wisdom of officialdom", so that a young man like Black Cat, who was very inexperienced in life, could easily understand.

"Uh...... The world of adults is so complicated......"

The black cat raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and then asked very puzzled:

"You obviously look completely unsophisticated, but why are you so clear about these ways?"

"How can I not know, if you don't understand the human heart, it is impossible to calculate the human heart, right?"

Chu Xuan, who had reflective glasses, asked the black cat rhetorically, and then revealed the mystery in an indifferent tone:

"It's just that there's no need.

I am capable enough to ignore the so-called 'human sophistication' and let others consciously or unconsciously act according to my calculations. Then naturally there is no need to waste time and energy on this.

And if I had to say subjective reasons......"

Speaking of this, Chu Xuan paused for a moment, and then gave a rare and somewhat vague answer.

"Probably because I don't like that."

Chu Xuan's answer already violated the principle of "maximizing interests". If it is a person who is really only interested in profit, although it does not mean that they will never consider the question of liking it or not. But before the likes and dislikes of individuals, their priority is definitely the issue of maximizing profits.

If he could easily achieve his goal as long as he was servile, would Chu Xuan happily throw away his discipline and become an extremely despicable person?

But if he didn't abandon his dignity, the "cost" he needed to pay to achieve his goal was much greater, and even with "Chu Xuan's wisdom", it was impossible to compress this cost to a lower level than putting down his body and saying a few words of self-contempt?

However, I heard Chu Xuan answer like this. The black cat breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that there had always been a ...... in his heart Maybe it's the little bit of a place that has been there since the "previous life" that has never been able to settle down, and it's finally become reassuring.

She has been looking at Chu Xuan, all the time, since her "previous life". But even so, Chu Xuan was still easy to understand but elusive to her, clear but foggy.

It was clear that Chu Xuan was simpler than anyone else, but the black cat always felt that he couldn't grasp the ideas in his brain that was more complex than anyone else, and Chu Xuan himself rarely expressed his thoughts. It's not just words, expressions, movements, tone of voice...... In order to minimize the leakage of information, he has been disguising himself as a robot.

Although Black Cat didn't know if it was necessary, she always felt that this situation was wrong, and she had to hide information as much as possible no matter who she was dealing with. Is it because of a severe lack of security or for some other reason?

Although the black cat didn't understand psychology or anything else, she could still vaguely feel it, and secretly worried about Chu Xuan.

But now she understands a little bit that the Chu Xuan she likes is not a humanoid computer, but a human being who has the same "like" and "hate" as everyone else, which may be very unreasonable and very willful.

Maybe Chu Xuan's feelings are so weak by nature, or it may be because he has some reason that even he doesn't know and has to try to avoid leaking any information, but even so, his feelings still exist.

I don't know why, the black cat suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour, and his eyes became moist, in order to avoid making a fool of himself, the black cat blinked vigorously, showed an evil and bewitching smile, and took the initiative to change the topic.

"Na...... In that case...... So can I ask a question? ”

Although the black cat looked obviously "ill-intentioned", Chu Xuan didn't seem to be aware of her "sinister intentions" and nodded defenselessly.

"Do you like me?"

The question that made people blush and shy popped out of the black cat's mouth unusually smoothly, maybe this question had been buried in the deepest part of her heart for a long time, but because of her uncertainty about Chu Xuan, she never dared to ask this question.

It's not just the black cat, it's Yanye, Tsunako, Saya, Haruhi, and Kyoko...... There must be many, many girls who must be like this, after entering the main god space, after learning that they are just Chu Xuan's "strategic target", their love for Chu Xuan has not changed, but what about Chu Xuan's "love"?

Or rather...... Chu Xuan, who is always expressionless and silent, and doesn't seem to be interested in anything other than scientific research, really has the feeling of "love"?

“……”

Chu Xuan, who was expressionless, was silent for a long time, and finally raised his hand and pushed down his reflective glasses in the slightly trembling gaze of the black cat, and then replied with great certainty:

"Of course, I like you."

“！！”

The barely maintained bewitching smile on the black cat's face froze instantly, and then there seemed to be a phantom of a blooming cherry blossom forest behind her, but this phantom quickly stained the girl's cheeks, making her pretty face more delicate than the cherry blossoms.

"That's, that'......"

The helpless black cat's heart was flustered, and her heart, which was beating non-stop, disturbed her thinking, and made her not know what to say for a while.

Should she smile perfectly at this time, and then silently shed two lines of tears of joy or something?

But to be honest, she didn't have the moist feeling in her eyes just now, and she didn't feel particularly happy in her heart, at most she could only say that there was a bland and stable joy, as if Chu Xuan's answer was a matter of course and had long been expected by her.

- It's amazing that her heart is beating so hard, but her heart is so calm and peaceful.

"Order、Shy lines are forbidden!"

After the black cat's gaze wandered around, she twisted her head to the side with some embarrassment, and used a famous line to complain about Chu Xuan, and the cherry blossom phantom behind her instantly shattered into many cherry blossom-colored fragments, falling to the ground like a rain of petals, and quickly disappeared without a trace.

At this time, it was quite unwise to accuse the black cat of being the culprit who was the first to provoke this meaty topic, and Chu Xuan, who was a peerless wise man, of course would not make such a low-level mistake, so he turned his head slightly at an angle, and said to the person next to him in a dull voice that was as smooth and uninhibited as ever:

"Leigh, you're back."

"Yes."

“！！！”

Hearing the calm conversation between Chu Xuan and Ayanami Rei, the black cat turned her head in surprise and looked to the other side that she hadn't noticed, Ayanami Rei, who had changed into her school uniform again, was really standing not far from her and Chu Xuan, but she didn't know when this expressionless and taciturn Sanwu girl had been standing there.
