Chapter 36: Foreshadowing and Apology

On the other side of the wooden wall, there seemed to be the sound of the girls' group slapping and the waves chasing in the hot spring.

But what does all this have to do with Li Wu?

He just felt noisy.

It is better to enjoy the healing of hot springs.

After physically eliminating the three innkeepers, the three of them are now the only ones soaking in the huge hot springs.

It's almost empty.

On the other side, facing Aoi Hoshikawa, who was approaching step by step, Lilia covered her chest with her hands, like a lamb in front of a wolf, and shivered against the wooden wall that divided the two sides.

"Miss Hoshikawa, I don't think it's proper for you to behave like this."

"Hmph, Lilia-chan, speaking of etiquette, do you know what a famous person in France once said?"

Hearing the sudden questioning, Miss Detective instinctively began to think and lowered her hands.

"Once the law loses its power, everything is hopeless? (Note 1)"

She replied tentatively.

"No, it's me that is the country (Note 2)! That's why I'm the Rite of Law! ”

Hoshikawa lunged forward, and Lilia screamed, squatting into the hot spring to dodge the pounce.

So Hoshikawa Aoi slammed into the wooden wall with a snap.

I think you'll remember that it wasn't that long ago that the novel was written about three chapters ago.

Due to the battle between Li Wu and Tengu, the wall was already on the verge of crumbling.

The proprietress only repaired the damage, but did not reinforce it.

Therefore, after being attacked by a head hammer from the magical girl, its health is gloriously reset to zero at this moment.

With the support of Li Wuna's dynamic vision, which is far stronger than ordinary people, he can see the pieces of wood break and crumble under the impact like watching the slow motion of a movie, and wood chips fly in the air.

Then an object stumbled and rushed by inertia and fell into the hot spring on his side, splashing high.

And the detective lady who sat opposite, looking surprised.

“…… What are you doing? ”

After a while.

Aoi Hoshikawa, who was wearing a white yukata, knelt on the ground and lowered her white neck: "I'm so sorry! It's all to blame for Li Wu's failure to control the aftermath of the battle, and I apologize to Lilia for him! ”

"Huh?" Li Wu changed into a blue striped yukata and sat on a chair in front of the hotel bar, looking at the creature sitting under the soil in front of him with contemptuous eyes, "Is it my fault?" If Hoshikawa-san really thinks so, it's not the level of disqualification of a magical girl, it can be said to be disqualified in the world, right? ”

"Please don't dismiss me as a human being! Well, I might have 30 percent, 4 percent, 50 percent too...... Li Wu, we are a community of destiny! ”

"Was it a relationship I formed during my amnesia?"

"Woo woo, have you forgotten the oath you made when you faced the Prajna Spirit? Is it the one who put my name on the assignee of the property transfer agreement? ”

"I'm taking the opportunity to create memories that don't exist, this guy! And the reality is terrible! ”

The quality of the staff of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau is really worrying.

"Excuse me about the flirting of the two of you, the drink you asked for has arrived."

Now it's about less than 1.2 meters, and the proprietress who can participate in the elementary school idol project lifts the tray in her hand above her head and puts it on tiptoe on the bar.

Speaking of which, how would ordinary local people who can't accurately recognize the extraordinary feel when they see the beaten and shrunken proprietress be? Do you feel younger?

"It's not flirting! But I do have a responsibility to lose. Li Wu took a bottle of chilled milk from the tray, "Why don't you open it?" ”

"Hey, I'm over there...... I'm sorry, I'm Eight's side, and I got dizzy from soaking in the hot springs, so I did such and such things. ”

After suppressing the resistance of the embarrassed magical girl with a disdainful look, he looked at Lilia, who was sitting on the side, taking a sip of mung bean juice with a straw: "Although it wasn't intentional, I'm still sorry, and Xingchuan should have been reflecting on himself." ”

The other party's face turned red all of a sudden, and he coughed a few times: "Please, please don't mention this matter, I know it was just an accident." ”

She touched a bundle of slightly wet coffee-colored hair hanging on her right side, sat upright and said, "But in the name of justice and law, I hope Mr. Li Wu will forget about this matter." ”

If you refuse, you will be arrested on the spot.

Li Wu looked away: "Ah good, to be honest, because of the fog, I didn't see anything at all." ”

This is a lie.

Although he did close his eyes immediately, when he was able to fight an enemy who broke through the sound barrier at top speed, there were occasions when he couldn't fool around as an ordinary person.

The sense of oppression of the combat strength of 530,000 still lingered deeply in his mind.

After such a short episode, several people who tossed until the early hours of the morning finally decided to go to bed.

When he entered the room, Hoshikawa Aoi suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute, why do we still have to live in a room?" ”

Originally, it was to facilitate the attack of the tengu, but now it is clear that this premise no longer exists.

"That's right, then I'll go find the proprietress and open another room."

Li Wu was about to leave, when he saw Hoshikawa Aoi "snap" and close the door.

"What, are you deliberately finding fault?"

Li Wu, who didn't understand the logic of this person's actions at all, raised questions.

Hoshikawa Aoi gestured to the bed on the floor.

I see, I understand, Hoshikawa Aoi means that I am the biggest hero of the battle today, so this room was given to me, and she went by herself.

Hoshikawa-san is still quite considerate.

Li Wu nodded understandingly, sat back on the bed, and looked at the magical girl who didn't leave for a long time, but sat on another futon: "Xingchuan-san, why don't you leave?" ”

Aoi Hoshikawa: "? ”

She took a deep breath, hugged her futon, opened the closet, and lay inside.

Li Wu only felt inexplicable, turned off the light and fell asleep.

But he hadn't slept for a while when he heard the closet door open a crack.

Then I felt a faint gaze staring at the back of my head, which made people's hearts tremble.

Li Wu sat up straight, his face expressionless: "If you want to cos the blue tanuki, I hope it is a sub-offering, not a horror version." ”

"Classmate Li Wu, do you feel like you've forgotten something?"

The girl in the closet asked.

"Well, didn't you go to the bathroom?"

"I've been there, classmate Li Wu also has this habit - I don't know what you're talking about!"

The magical girl puffed out her face in anger: "It's an apology!" Apologize! You've all apologized to Lilia! People are also innocent girls, and I was also seen! ”

Li Wu was a little glad that he had extraordinary eyesight at the moment.

Otherwise, you would not have been able to see the girl's crimson cheeks in the dark.

"Ah, but that's Hoshikawa-san's own doing, right?"

"Okay, let's fight to the death here tomorrow, and the living inherit the will of the dead and go back to help Sister Yuki."

"Just kidding." Li Wu lay down on his side and looked at the magical girl in the closet in the early hours of the morning: "I'm sorry, Hoshikawa-san." ”
