"Why are you following me?"

Melissa asked when she waited for him to arrive.

There was a look of doubt in his eyes.

He was also wary of him.

As a girl, it is understandable that you will be too careful in the face of a stranger's stalking.

Chiba didn't have the same knowledge as her, although she misunderstood herself, she still replied very well: "No, right? It's just the same road. ”

Together?

Is it really such a coincidence?

Melissa looked skeptical: "Then where are you going?" ”

"Technical School of Tingen."

Chiba said, stepping forward first.

He is also from the Tingen Technical School?

Melissa felt that something was wrong, but there was just no evidence.

But he still caught up and asked, "Then why haven't I seen you before?" ”

"I didn't live here before, of course I couldn't see it, but now I moved to live in the apartment next door to you, and I will go this way, and besides, I'm two grades older than you, and you're a freshman, doesn't it seem normal that you don't know each other?"

For Melissa's little question, Chiba had already thought of the right words, but he couldn't find any clues.

Melissa thought about it and thought, "Then why don't you take the car and walk to school instead?" ”

"Aren't you hiking too? Why can't I? ”

Melissa: "......"

"I'm saving money, and I don't have this condition at home, so you shouldn't be able to, right?"

"Do I like it?"

Melissa: "When I didn't say it! ”

Seeing that she had nothing to say, Chiba was also happy to be idle, and walked side by side with her, while saying: "I said Melissa, there are not many girls who like steam and machinery, and why do you like this business?" ”

"Do I like it?" Melissa also learned his tone and words.

Chiba: "......"

It seems that this girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

……

Fifty minutes later.

Chiba and Melissa arrived in front of an academy, and the boulder at the entrance was engraved with the words "Tingen Technical School".

In terms of the ratio of males to females, the number of girls is less than one-tenth of that of boys.

It's also normal that girls have a few things that like gears, bearings, clockwork, etc., and that's why she has a soft spot.

Of course, there are some girls who have the same interests as her.

There are also some who have no choice and go to this college.

Melissa didn't just have no choice, she wanted to be a steam mechanic.

This world is relatively not an ordinary world of vapor machinery, but an extraordinary world, a world with extraordinary powers.

Extraordinary, undoubtedly alien energy, dark matter, etc.

Magic is one of the extraordinary energies.

Students who are not students of the Tingen Technical School are not allowed to enter, but this is difficult to Chiba, a shrunken man has already arrived on the playground, faster than other people's eyesight, so no one can see how he appeared.

Melissa didn't pay attention for a while, but she saw that Chiba had already arrived on the playground, and although she was curious, she didn't take it to heart.

I didn't say much to him, but walked closer to my classroom.

……

When the sun was setting in the west, the bell rang for the last class of the afternoon at the Technical School in Tingen.

Then there was the lively scene of students leaving class, leaving the classroom, and walking to the playground to go home.

Melissa came to the playground and looked around, but he was not seen.

When she walked out of the school gate, she didn't see him at the door.

"Didn't he come out?"

Melissa muttered to herself as she walked home.

Every now and then he looks back, hoping that he will catch up.

But every time I look back, there is nothing behind him, where is his figure.

"Where is this guy going after class? Don't go home? ”

Maybe it's because she's too bored to walk home alone, so she wants to have a companion to walk with her.

After all, it takes 50 minutes to walk from the apartment to the school, so it's good to walk slowly for an hour, and to have a companion to walk with you.

But every time she turned around, Melissa didn't see him, and she was a little disappointed.

……

Da Da Da ~ Until she heard that particular footstep again.

Is that him?

Melissa looked back uncertainly, this time it really didn't disappoint him, only to see that Chiba was ten zhang away behind him.

So he slowed down and waited for him to catch up with his pace.

Chiba didn't take a few steps to come to her side, and reached out to put his arm around her shoulder: "Melissa, why don't you wait for me when you go first?" ”

"I ...... Why should I wait for you? Melissa said a little shyly.

Shake off his hand with all his might.

Chiba wasn't angry either: "Okay Melissa, what's your family eating tonight?" ”

Melissa thought for a moment: "In the morning, I asked Klein to buy peas and lamb, and I will stew peas and lamb to eat, bread, and tea!" ”

"Then you, what do you eat? Your parents should be ready to wait for you to come home for dinner, right? ”

Since the death of Melissa's parents, she has not felt safe, and Benson is so busy with work that he rarely comes home, mostly away from home, and only returns on Sunday.

So she is very envious of children who have parents.

"That, I'm alone, where did the parents come from." Chiba is telling the truth.

After the crossing, he was an orphan, where did he come from.

"What about your parents?"

"I grew up in an orphanage and have no parents."

Melissa was a little moved when she heard this, which was connected to the same disease: "I'm sorry! I don't know ...... you."

"It's okay, I'm used to it!" Chiba said, putting her hand on Melissa's head and touching it a few times.

Thank you for your support
