The sun shone through the curtains on the laundry table like shredded pieces of golden cloth.

I was supposed to look at the haircut magazine to learn a little about the truth, but I looked out of the spine of the book helplessly, saw this ray of sunshine, and wrote sentences that had nothing to do with what I was doing like a primary school student writing sentences according to the words and sentences given by the teacher.

She seems to want to cherish this hard-won peace, but it seems that this cherishing has brought her more headaches and anxiety in a short period of time. There was always some foreboding in her heart:

Is the battle really over?

The old enemy just popped up and told everyone now:

Your efforts are of no avail.

The sharp pain in her lips brought her back to her senses, and she began to bite her lip again when she thought about it.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of the doorknob twisting.

Click.

"Hey, Caojia, why did you come up? Don't you have to look at the store from? ”

Truth looked at Kusaka's face, and the bruises on his face when he came back from a trip a few days ago were faintly visible.

"It's okay, I didn't accompany Keitaro to deliver today, he and I changed shifts."

"That's right. Then take a good rest, you've been in the care shop for the past few weeks, and I haven't helped much, and learning to get a barber is too much of a headache. ”

"There's something that can stump you, I don't really believe there will be such a thing."

Truth feels like it's been a long, long time since you heard Kusaka speak in this tone.

"After all, this kung fu doesn't mean that you will be able to do it! Even if it's you, you can't easily master the doorway. ”

Kusaka laughed.

"The person who can make me feel at ease is really only you."

"Huh?" Truth was a little overwhelmed by the sudden words, "This is... That's for sure, we're good friends who live together, aren't we? ”

"Truth, do you really, just think that?"

"Huh...? Well! ”

"I guess you should know what sustains me so far."

Kusaka stared at the truth intently, just like looking at his own Kaixa belt, and only when they were around, only when they declared that they belonged to him, could he truly feel at ease in his heart.

For so long, his heart has been revolving around the girl in front of him. From desperately trying to make himself stronger, to mastering various skills, to the battles he had fought before, the truth was what sustained him in doing so.

Kusaka took a step forward and put her hands on Truth's shoulders.

"I know what you're thinking right now," Kusaka and Truth looked at each other, "I can also tell you responsibly that the battle is far from over, Mihara has already confirmed with me that the 'King' is not dead, and even that bastard from Kageyama has formed a new 'LuckyClover'!" ”

In the eyes of the truth, the current expression of Kusaka is like that of a fanatical madman.

"I'm going to win, though! I will be for you, for your future! ”

At this time, Kusaka seemed to understand why his father said to himself at that time, let yourself fight--you have to take back what you love, it must be like this, this is his answer.

"Grass plus."

The voice of truth is so small that it can barely be heard.

"What's wrong?"

"Your body, does it really matter?"

Kusaka was stunned, and he suddenly remembered that his death was precisely because the Orphnoch mark in his body was depleted with the increase in the number of transformations, which led to the final death.

"Ahh Yes! Absolutely! Kusaka stood up, and he was going to ask Matsuzaki about the follow-up of the matter--

If you can't fight...

"Grass plus! What's wrong? ”

The truth is somewhat unclear.

----

Keitaro stood outside the door, thinking very softly, but no one opened the door because of eating, and the knock on the door became more and more rapid with inexplicable worry.

What's going on? Did the three of them go out together? Impossible! Haitang told me that it was not good to go out after Yuka's body came back!

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and hurriedly took out his lanyard phone from his neckline, wanting to call Haitang directly.

Click.

But the door opened.

--

Yuuka is sitting on the couch watching a food show about some of the more commonly used home-cooked dishes. The hostess's hand caught her attention.

It's so pretty...

She looked down at her hand again, and in a trance, the projection device seemed to be wrong, and she seemed to see her hand again after becoming Orphnoch.

Alas...

She sighed heavily, but the sound of the sigh was only in her heart. Now she has not only lost her original body, but also lost the ability to speak.

If only none of this had happened... I can continue to live well with Keitaro, but now that I'm like this, will he really accept me?

Tuk-tuk.

The sudden knock on the door made her jump in fright. She also wondered when she was so afraid to see anyone else. She didn't move, and it was usually Kiba or Kaido who opened the door.

But after waiting for a while, the knocking on the door continued, and at this time, Yuuka remembered that Kaido and Kiba had gone out this morning because of the matter on the SmartBrain side.

The one who can come at this time is probably Keitaro...

She swallowed.

"Knot! How about you? Where did Mr. Kiba and Kaido go? Keitaro kept popping up questions like a worried popcorn.

But Yuka just shook her head at him, then pointed to the mask she was wearing, took out her mobile phone, and launched a text message in front of him.

[Kiba and Kaido, they have something to do in the morning.] I'm sorry, but I was just resting so I didn't hear Keitaro's knock in time. My throat is still not good, and I still feel uncomfortable and can't speak, sorry again! ］

Keitaro's mobile phone made a ticking sound of receiving letters. After reading it, he looked up at Yuka, and just wanted to say something, he remembered something and generally began to press the button.

Tick tick.

Yuka's phone rang too.

[It's okay!] As long as you get the flowers, you're fine. I'm here to bring you laundry. If Yuuka could wear clean and tidy clothes every day, she would feel happier! That's why I've been so motivated! ］

Keitaro couldn't see her expression, but he could see that Yuka's exposed eyes had turned into two rounds of laughter.

Yuka stretches out her hand.

"Huh? Oooh oh! ”

Keitaro's reaction was half a beat slower, and he handed over the wrapped clothes in a slight panic, only to accidentally fall to the ground.

The two hurriedly squatted down to pick it up. Yuuka didn't notice that she had stepped out of the doorframe, but the projected butterfly didn't follow.

"Yuki..."

Yuuka, who was already looking like Orphnoch, picked up her clothes in a daze, and looked at Keitaro, who was also a little confused, with a puzzled expression.

"Why... To suddenly become Orphnoch? ”

Yuka glanced down at herself, and hurriedly stepped back in fright, but after retreating back to the door frame, the transformation of her appearance like a data projection betrayed her at once.

"Is this some kind of projection device?"

Keitaro looked up at the projected light and spotted the butterfly-shaped device.

Yuka was a little distracted. She stood still and nodded slowly.

"Why? Aren't you able to become a human on your own? How could such a thing be needed? ”

Yuka lowered her head, as if organizing the language. In the end, she chose to explain it all to Keitaro via text message.

Taken away, forcibly given power, deprived of language and the ability to transform back into a human...

This incident made Keitaro's heart slowly tense.

If Yuka could show her expression like a human at this time, then her current expression must be crying.

Thinking of this, Keitaro seemed to understand what Yuuka was missing.

A few minutes later.

"Listening to that president talk so much, there is nothing substantial, what's the use of that!"

"Okay, okay, Haitang, there are enough things now, we have to get things done slowly, especially the affairs of the 'king' have to be considered in the long run."

The two walked down the hallway and found their door open.

Knotting!

After a few steps and one step, Kaido and Kiba almost turned into Orphnoch, and they rushed to the door at once, but what they saw was Orphnoch-like Yuka and Keitaro hugging each other.

Yuka sobbed and twitched her body, no different from a human.
