When Kuroyukihime opened her eyes again, she was no longer in the hot spring lake.

But now the girl's eyes are dark, which makes her feel dazed and helpless.

"Hmm...... What is this......

Chu, Chu Xuan? Are you there? ”

Because her hot body was still unable to exert her strength, Hei Xue Ji could only try to call for Chu Xuan, who had moved here, but the sound in her throat was also extremely weak, just like the meow of a kitten, and it couldn't travel far in the air at all.

(Isn't that right...... I've ...... ）

Kuroyukihime closed her eyes weakly, and such an ominous thought flashed through her head.

No one knows what will happen to people after they die, originally in the virtual reality game "God's Domain", humans can design a "post-death" state, but in this "game", the player's life is also set to be only once, so among the 30,000 players trapped in "God's Domain", no one knows what will happen to them after the HP is zeroed.

"Sand ......"

Just when Kuroyukihime couldn't help but start to think about it, the sound of rough fabrics rubbing against each other came from above her head, and Kuroyukihime opened her eyes to find a familiar figure coming in from the "outside".

(So it's in a tent...... ）

Although the light of the bonfire coming in from outside the tent could only draw a vague outline, Hei Xue Ji still recognized Chu Xuan with her intuition, and at the same time, she immediately guessed where she was lying now.

Chu Xuan, who came in from outside, didn't seem to hear Hei Xue Ji's call just now, and when he walked over silently, he didn't know what kind of state of mind he was in, and the girl who had already opened her eyes immediately closed her eyes again.

With the slight sound of footsteps and the sound of clothes rubbing, Chu Xuan came to the top of Heixue Ji's head, although he couldn't see it, but the girl could imagine that the man with reflective glasses should be bending over her side at this time, looking at her expressionlessly.

- The little tickle that came from his still hot cheeks was Chu Xuan's burning gaze.

“！”

Suddenly, Kuroyukihime felt a slightly cool and moist palm ** on his face, and then this hand touched his bare neck, arms, and calves......

Just as the girl's eyelids were jumping up screaming, she felt something on her forehead be removed, and a new towel that was very cool and comfortable was put back on.

"Hmm...... Hmmm......"

Kuroyukihime pretended to have just woken up and slowly opened her eyes.

Above her head shook Chu Xuan's glasses reflective poker face, if it wasn't for Hei Xue Ji's mental preparation, she would definitely be taken aback now.

However, acting too calm was also a flaw, seeing Hei Xue Ji squinting her eyes and pretending to be dazed, Chu Xuan asked her in a very calm tone:

"You just woke up?"

Hei Xue Ji, whose disguise had been pierced, blushed slightly, and did not answer Chu Xuan's question, but asked as if she had pretended not to hear anything:

"Is this outside the cave? The monkeys have left? ”

"Well, the monkeys soaked for about an hour before leaving, and then I moved you outside.

The water near the spring is too hot, and you're in a state of fatigue and hunger, so you're dizzy. ”

Chu Xuan knelt beside Hei Xue Ji and explained in a voice that was as smooth and uninhibited as ever.

Kuroyukihime, who had already known that she was stunned, couldn't help blushing when she recalled the last image that remained in her memory, and then she immediately thought of a question that needed to be clarified even more, so she asked again:

"That...... I—after I fainted...... How did you 'take' me until the monkey left? ”

Hei Xue Ji especially emphasized the word "carrying", of course Chu Xuan couldn't even hear the meaning of this little bit of words, he pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and said to the girl with a flushed face casually:

"Of course I'm holding you."

"Hug, hug...... Yes, is it a princess hug......"

Kuroyukihime, whose face was flushed, asked with great difficulty, with a voice as thin as a gnat.

"It's the princess hug."

Chu Xuan nodded seriously, affirming the girl's guess.

Hei Xue Ji's mind came to the idea that Chu Xuan would hold himself who was holding his waist tightly and was unconscious, and then quietly turned around, and then quietly picked himself up from the water by the crook of his legs, leaning against the unusually thick stalactite pillar, and holding her in the hot spring in the posture of a princess for more than an hour, and at the same time, he always pricked up his ears to listen to the scene of the monkey king**oss, and somewhere in his heart was suddenly touched, and he even forgot to be shy.

"Thank you."

Unconsciously, Kuroyukihime's eyes shone with some strange emotion, not just gratitude, not just love, reverence, or anything else.

If I had to say it...... This should be a very "girly" gaze.

But in the face of the rare "girlish gaze" of the elegant and calm "Everyone's Lady" Hei Xue Ji, Chu Xuan didn't react, just nodded lightly, and replied in a flat and boring voice:

"You're welcome."

“……”

Then, the two of them suddenly fell silent, and after about ten seconds, Hei Xue Ji said to Chu Xuan, who was kneeling beside her, without saying a word:

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

"What's the matter?"

"But can you take me out and breathe? I don't seem to have the strength to stand up now......"

Kuroyukihime lied as if she had been misguided, and then her face turned red all at once, and even she didn't know why she had suddenly told such a bold lie.

It's just an excuse to be weak or something, in fact, she just wants to experience the feeling of the princess hugging her again when she is sober.

She thinks so much, very, very much, very much, whatever she wants!

“……”

Chu Xuan nodded silently, and then very skillfully copied Heixue Ji, and then bent down and got out of the tent.

Outside the tent, the bonfire was beating warmly, the mountain breeze in early summer was very cool and comfortable, and the clear night sky was full of twinkling stars, but Hei Xue Ji closed her eyes and gently rested her head on Chu Xuan's thick shoulders.

(Is that how it feels...... ）

Hei Xue Ji silently experienced this feeling that was obviously very unfamiliar, but it seemed to be unusually familiar, and a strange ** arose spontaneously in her heart. (To be continued.) )
