On the other side, La Dorudo Gu stopped La Baluba Die and asked with a scrutinizing look in his eyes: "Where did Daguba go?"
Other Gurongi might be confused by La Baruba Butterfly's words, but La Dorudo Gu, who is in the same group as her, will not. It knows very well how much Daguba values Kikiru, and the other party will not disappear for no reason.
Because Kikiru's battle will definitely be suspended without his presence, which also means that the battle he longs for will be postponed. This is a torture for Daguba who cannot fight a fair battle because he is too strong.
Therefore, his disappearance would not be that simple, there must be some special reason.
"He went to another world."
La Baluba Die did not hide anything from La Dorudo Gu and directly told her the message that N Daguba Jiba had passed on to her when he left.
"There are other strong people in that world who can make him stronger."
Hearing this, La Dorudo Gu was silent for a moment, and then disappeared.
Seeing the departure of her fellow group members, La Baluba Die did not stay long and left here soon.

"Didn't I tell you not to risk your life so hard? You might actually die this time."
Yu Sakai frowned as he looked at the medical report in his hand, then sighed and said to Jin Sato, who was lying on the hospital bed and had completely turned into a mummy this time.
"Wuwuwuwu~"
Sato Jin, whose only two eyeballs were not sealed by bandages, spoke something with his tightly sealed mouth.
But unfortunately, Sakai Yuu and his friendship are not close enough, so they are unable to hear what he wants to express from that meaningless voice.
"Okay, I won't say any more. According to your previous recovery ability, today's injury should be healed in two days."
Noticing Sato Ren's eyes that were clearly bent and filled with joy, he emphasized his tone and said in a deep voice: "That's what I said, but you also have to take care of your body. We don't know why you recovered so quickly. If you overdraw your vitality, it will be dangerous, understand?"
Sakai Yu saw Sato Jin nodded, but according to his understanding, the other party definitely didn't take it to heart, because the other party was a person who valued others more than himself, so saying it was just a habit.
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I have to go do some work. Bye!"
Soon, Yu Sakai left the ward.
[It seems that I am still too weak. If my physical fitness was higher, I wouldn't have performed so poorly at the end of the battle.]
[It was only a little over two and a half minutes of fighting. Yo~ You should train your physical fitness well tomorrow. You can't let what happened today happen again.]
[Also, having No. 4's car take me to the hospital every time was not very friendly to his battle, and it was not always so timely.]
[Also, we need to improve the coordination between the sword and the gun. We should be able to create a lot of combo skills. After all, the multi-functional pistol has many bullets with different functions that we haven't tested yet.]
Lying on the hospital bed, Sato Jin closed his eyes and sorted out the shortcomings of the battle not long ago to avoid making the same mistakes next time.
He never thought about what a terrible enemy he was facing, or how uncontrollable the things that happened in the battle were. All he thought about was how he had to do better next time.
——————
"The G2 armor can hardly play a supporting role. The strength of the unconfirmed life form is increasing too fast. I must speed up the development of the G3 armor, and also need to update the new power system. Otherwise, I will have to rely on my own strength every time, and the armor's power system will be supplementary, just like today."
Zhixiong Like sat in front of the computer, holding a pencil in his right hand and writing a series of dazzling, complicated and incomprehensible unknown formulas on a piece of white paper.
"The armor can no longer use electricity as its energy source. We must switch to a new and harmless energy source. The vision of the eyepiece also needs to be strengthened. And..."
As the things he was talking about increased, a considerable amount of paper began to accumulate on the ground.
"Ding ding ding ding~"
The noisy ringing of the phone interrupted Zhixiong Li Ke's thoughts. She stood up with a pale face, took floating steps, supported herself on the table with her hands, and walked step by step to the place where the phone rang.
The face that was originally furious because of the interruption of his thoughts showed a happy smile when he saw the note of someone coming to call, and hurriedly answered the phone, saying in a somewhat high voice: "Moshi Moshi~Senior, what do you want to talk to Li Ke about?"
"Open the door quickly, I'm right outside your secret base."
The somewhat tired voice of Hikigaya Hachiman came through the mobile phone microphone.
Chapter 67: Two Idiots Who Only Rely on Themselves
The bright and shining stars hang high in the night sky, twinkling and giving people an illusion of movement. In this feeling of not knowing whether it is real or illusory, it is easy for people to immerse themselves in the gorgeous river of stars, and the negative emotions in their hearts seem to follow the direction of the river and gradually drift away.
In the secret base of Shikuma Rika in the high school department of Santa Cronia Academy, as the owner, Shikuma Rika didn't know whether other people's negative emotions had flowed away with the Milky Way, but her own negative emotions were well released when she tasted the lunch brought by her senior, Hikigaya Hachiman.
Moreover, the stress that had been accumulating in the body and had already put a heavy burden on the body became insignificant at this moment.
"Eat slowly, no one is trying to snatch it from you. Why are you still acting like a child when you are already so grown up?"
Hikigaya Hachiman sat aside and joked with a smile to Shikuma Rika who was wolfing down the food without any girlish image.
"That scallop is so good!" (That's because the senior made it so delicious)
The girl's unclear words made the boy give up trying to persuade her. He just held the opened bottle of mineral water in his hand, as he believed the girl would need it soon.
As expected, the girl who was wolfing down her food soon choked on her food and began to pound her chest with her hands. Hikigaya Hachiman reluctantly handed her the mineral water and stood behind her, patting her back gently. After she finally swallowed it, he knocked on her head with his right hand and said, "Look, I told you to eat slowly. Are you choking?"
"Hehehe~ That's because Riko believes that even if she chokes, she'll be fine as long as her senior is here, so eating is more important!"
Facing the girl who showed a cute smile, stuck out her tongue slightly, closed one eye, put one hand on her head, and tried to get away with it by showing off her cuteness, Hikigaya Hachiman smiled and sighed, "You, I really don't know what to say to you."
"Hehehe~"
"Eat quickly. You look like you were busy researching something again. You didn't sleep or eat well, did you?"
He reached out his hand and pulled the girl's tender face which was beginning to turn red, then let go and signaled with his eyes that Zhixiong Li Ke wanted to say something, telling her to eat quickly and talk after she finished eating.
While the girl was eating, Hikigaya Hachiman glanced around the surrounding environment, ignoring the complex formulas that were like hieroglyphics and various exclusive nouns with unknown meanings.
[Sure enough, the G1 and G2 armors were both made from science, so Officer Sato must be the cousin she mentioned before who is a policeman.]
When his gaze returned to the girl in front of him who was smiling and eating voraciously, his eyes softened a lot, and there was a lot of heartache in them.
[Sorry, Riko.]
[Originally, this is all my responsibility, but because I'm not strong enough, I put so much pressure on you. It must be hard to research armor alone, right?]
Even though Hikigaya Hachiman's personality has changed a little since the day he obtained the Agur Belt and decided to protect humanity even if he had to transform into a monster, he still didn't say what was in his mind. He just kept it in his heart, turning it into one of the weights that accelerated his becoming stronger, thus allowing the balance of reason to occupy the high position, trying to overturn all the emotional weights one day.
Soon, Shikuma Riko finished the lunch box that Hikigaya Hachiman brought over, drank a sip of water, and stood up with a satisfied smile, "Yoshi~ Riko is resurrected~"
The serious look did not last too long. The girl soon blushed and showed a wretched uncle-like smile. There was a little crystal liquid at the corner of her mouth, and charming ripples in her eyes.
"Hehehe~ Senior, I can't repay your kindness with science, so I can only repay you with my body..."
As she said this, she threw herself into Hikigaya Hachiman's arms. To be honest, looking at her impatient look, if she wasn't so cute, it would be hard for Hikigaya Hachiman to guarantee that he wouldn't punch her hard and knock her out.
However, he dodged sideways and skillfully reached out to grab the other person's white coat, preventing the girl from losing balance and falling to the ground.
"Riko, I have something to tell you."
The serious tone stopped Zhixiong Li Ke, who was being held on the head by his hand and could not get close to him, from continuing to act weird. He stopped, pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said in a cold voice: "Okay, please go ahead, senior."
The girl knew the boy's character very well. When he spoke to her in a serious tone, it meant that he had something important to discuss with her. If he continued to act weird, it would be very rude.
Joking also depends on the situation. Although she thinks she is not joking at all and what she said is well thought out and she is very serious.
"The armor that the police use to fight against unidentified life forms was all made by you, right?"
Hearing this, Zhixiong Li Ke's face looked a little embarrassed, and he even started to move secretly, trying to escape from the senior who he should have been sticking to.
The reason was simple. She remembered what she had promised her senior before, and it was because she remembered that she wanted to stay away.
After all, she broke her promise.
"Alas~"
Seeing the other party secretly moving away from him with a guilty conscience, Hikigaya Hachiman sighed helplessly, with a look of defeat on his face, and gently hit the girl on the forehead with a knife.
"I know what you are doing is right and necessary, but remember to eat and rest on time, otherwise what if you collapse from exhaustion like last time?"
Feeling the serious gaze of his senior, Zhixiong Li Ke didn't dare to touch his head or act coquettishly. He lowered his head so as not to let him see his somewhat unnatural expression.
"I can't always come early. You'd be in danger then."
[In fact, I have already made an intelligent medical robot. If anything happens, it will provide emergency treatment based on my condition and call an ambulance.]
Shikuma Rika secretly glanced at her senior who had a gentle yet helpless expression.
[But of course it would have been better to lie in the arms of my senior that day, which is the best panacea for science.]
However, she certainly wouldn't say what was in her mind out loud, not because she was shy or anything, but she knew very well that if she said it out loud, the boy who felt inferior for some reason would probably never get along with her like this again, and that kind of future was not the future she wanted.
"Got it. I'll pay attention to it next time."
"It would be better this way."
Hikigaya Hachiman still cares a lot about his only female friend, Shikuma Rika, but he also understands her character, so he can only pay more attention in the future and visit her more often.
By the way, he can also know a little about the weapons of the G2 armor. If he really has to, he can tell Sato Jin how to cooperate with him, even if it means exposing his identity.
After all, in Hikigaya Hachiman's heart, human life always comes first, and he will not consider what fate he will face if his identity is exposed.
Otherwise, isn't he another Zhixiong Like?
Next, Hikigaya Hachiman played a game with Shikuma Rika that she liked for a while. Before leaving, he told her about his previous idea and asked her to help him make that game.
Afterwards, seeing that the time was almost up, he said goodbye to his lovely juniors, rode on the Hunter and went home.
"Yoshi~ I've replenished my energy and rested enough. I'm going to work hard now."
Zhixiong Like returned to the laboratory and prepared to continue working. Just as he was about to start working, he saw the sticky note on the computer screen - "Go to bed quickly. If I see you have dark circles under your eyes tomorrow, I will punish you!"
The familiar words made the girl lose the motivation to fight. With a gentle smile on her face, she said, "I really lost to you, Senior!"
Zhixiong Li Ke flicked the sticky note with his hand, stood up and went back to the bedroom here, lay down on the soft bed, covered himself with the quilt, said "Good night, senior", and closed his eyes to sleep.
"But, I feel like Senior's personality has changed a lot. Should I say he's become more frank or more cheerful?"
Murmuring softly, the girl soon fell into a sweet dream.
On the other side, Hikigaya Hachiman looked at the color scheme on the hunter and whispered: "I don't like the gold and red color scheme. It seems that my guess is correct!"
Take about eight days off
Those who work in the catering industry or have eaten out during this National Day holiday will understand that it's very busy with so many people, and because there are only newcomers here, it's really exhausting. So I can only stop updating for a few days.
Although I will lose a lot of collections, after all, I have asked for too many days off, but there is nothing I can do about it, I still have to make a living, so I can only say sorry to everyone, and hope you can understand.
Not a eunuch! Not a eunuch! Not a eunuch!
Update tomorrow
I'm finally done after being busy for so many days. I will resume updating tomorrow. I will try to update twice tomorrow, and only once after that. After all, being a newbie really makes me feel very stressed, plus I have a hot temper and get irritated easily, so I can't think of anything at all.
Updated around 4 o'clock
Chapter 68: Daily Life (Part 1)
As time went by, the Gurongi seemed to have disappeared collectively and never appeared in the public eye again. People also temporarily got rid of the thrilling daily life where their lives were threatened.
Although, they don't have much fear. Without the unconfirmed life forms, they still need to go out to work to support their families. With the unconfirmed life forms, they still need to work to support their families, so there is not much difference for people.
If you have to put it bluntly, it's the difference between choosing to be killed by an unidentified life form or choosing to starve to death.
As a result, Hikigaya Hachiman spent a few rare quiet days. Every day, he either helped his sister Hikigaya Komachi solve the problem of summer homework, gaining admiration from his sister, or played a strategic fighting game created by the genius girl junior Shikuma Rika, in which he was Kuuga as the protagonist, facing various opponents and protecting the citizens on the scene according to the requirements of the venue.
Of course, he did not forget to go to the unmanned factory for skills training at night, otherwise he would have to say that he could not afford to damage the floor or furniture at home.
There is only one day left before the end of summer vacation. He will go back to school tomorrow, but Hachiman Hikigaya is still lying on the sofa, using his brain to compete with the game in his hands.
"Ding Dong Ding Dong~"
A crisp doorbell rang at the entrance, but the game had already reached its final stage. Hikigaya Hachiman, who treated it as an actual battle, would not give up, so he decisively chose to ignore the doorbell and continued to control himself in the game, saving people while fighting the enemy.
In order to ensure the realism of the game, Zhixiong Li Ke is specifically required to control the character's power output according to the duration of charging, while also calculating physical strength and skill values.
Even if the health is only a moment left, a blood lock is added, but the strength and speed are reduced by 70%, and there is a five-minute time limit.
This was done just in case. If such a situation really happened one day, his brain would go blank for a while, thus killing many people invisibly. Zhixiong Li Ke was specially asked to do it.
Of course, he knew that what he gained from such training was not of much use, but at least it could increase his experience points.
He also asked Zhixiong Li Ke to give priority to creating his version of the game based on the "virtual system" she developed, so that he could relax and get exercise at the same time.
[Yes, what I am doing now is a great cause to save humanity. How can I ignore people's safety just because of something as small as opening a door?]
So, Hikigaya Hachiman continued playing games.Brother, can you open the door for Komachi?"
He heard his sister's beautiful voice, but Hachiman Hikigaya, who was burdened with a heavy responsibility, chose to continue his great career and ignored his sister's call.
"Ou~ni~chan~can you open the door for your lovely sister and see who's here?"
The deliberately elongated tone gave Hikigaya Hachiman goosebumps all over his body. He glanced at his cute sister who was preparing dinner not far away, and saw her kind smile.
"Alas~"
He sighed silently, ignoring the big blood-red "Game Over!" on the game, put on his indoor shoes, and walked towards the entrance with a slightly hunched back.
[Who is preventing me from saving the world?]
"Hello~ Xiaoqi!"
The girl's still silly smile came into view.
"…So it's Yuigahama, here to take Sabre back?"
The unexpected character, coupled with the voice he heard before awakening his new form during the battle with Mei Kalido Ki, caused Hikigaya Hachiman to pause for a moment when he saw Yuigahama Yui.
But it was only a moment's pause, and he believed the girl would not notice.
"...Ah, yes, I came here to pick up Sabre. Did he cause you any trouble?"
Yuigahama Yui stared blankly at the boy in front of her for a while before she belatedly responded to his words.
"Come in first. This is indeed quite troublesome. You should take it back quickly."
[Every time I fight Gurongi, I have to hide from it when I go home. Otherwise, no matter how dumb Komachi is, she would know that Sabre doesn't hate the smell of sweat on me, but the cold breath after killing.]
"That's too much. Normally at this point, it should be [No, Sabre is a very cute child. I want him to stay for a few more days], right?"
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry I didn't say that."
"Ah~ Xiaoqi, you really haven't changed at all!"
"Of course, I'm not that easy to change. This is called purity."
"Yes, yes, you are right."
Yuigahama Yui no longer wanted to say too much about the boy's personality, and she believed that with her limited vocabulary, she was no match for the boy who was a master of sophistry.
Therefore, instead of wasting your time on unnecessary things, it is better to organize your thoughts and muster up the courage to express what you want to say completely.
"Hello~ Komachi, are you making dinner?"
"Hello~ Sister Yui, are you interested in staying and eating with us?"
"Thank you, but no thanks. Mom has already prepared dinner and is waiting for me to come home."
Hearing Yuigahama Yui's refusal, the ahoge on Hikigaya Komachi's head seemed to move. She looked at her carefully, and then, with a smile that made her feel a little uncomfortable, she said with a smile: "Really? That's a pity."
"Yes."
Yuigahama Yui felt inexplicably guilty. In order to get rid of the unpleasant atmosphere she felt at the moment, she quickly handed a small bag on her back to Hikigaya Hachiman, "These are souvenirs from the trip. I don't know what you like, so I bought some snacks that are more popular. I hope you like them."
"Sister Yui, you are so polite."
"Hehe~ It's not that troublesome anyway."
————
After a brief chat, Yuigahama Yui put Sabre in the pet backpack and stood at the entrance to say goodbye to the Hikigaya Hachiman siblings.
But when she was holding the door handle, she didn't take the next step, as if she was engaged in some intense psychological struggle. Even looking at her back, the Hikigaya Hachiman siblings could sense her heavy breathing.
As if she had finally made up her mind, the girl slowly turned around and looked at Hikigaya Hachiman with determined eyes, "Hey~ Hikigaya, can you accompany me to the fireworks display tonight?"
The boy felt her determination. If it were in the past, he would have refused without hesitation, but not now.
"Okay, no problem."
"Huh?"
Hikigaya Komachi, who was about to agree on behalf of her brother and use his pampering on her, suddenly turned around and looked him up and down in shock. To Hikigaya Hachiman, that look was like looking at a stranger.
However, there was nothing he could do about it.
If there is anyone in this world who knows Hikigaya Hachiman best, it is only his sister Hikigaya Komachi, who has been with him throughout his growth and witnessed the development of his personality.
Even he himself does not understand himself, because what people are best at is deceiving themselves.
Otherwise, how could there be a saying that "people only want to see what they want to see"?
So, he understood the look in his sister's eyes.
"...Then, let's meet at the station near my home at six o'clock in the evening?"
"good."
The moment I agreed, I was stared at by that piercing gaze again.
"See you then."
"Yes, contact by phone."
After seeing Yuigahama Yui off, under the scrutiny of his sister, Hikigaya Hachiman returned to the dining room and sat at the table, eating his meal in silence.
"Brother, I feel like you've changed a lot now. Can you tell me what happened?"
Facing his sister's question, he rolled his eyes and said, "If I don't agree, you won't force me to go."
Hikigaya Komachi blinked, and suddenly realized that what her brother said was absolutely correct. At the same time, she also understood why the other party agreed so readily, so the girl smiled with relief.
[So it was all because of Komachi. I was so scared. I thought my brother had encountered something serious. Even his personality changed so much!]
Secretly wiping the non-existent sweat from her forehead, the girl began to enjoy her dinner.
"Hey~ Komachi, did you forget to add the seasoning? Why do today's dishes seem to have no taste?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Hikigaya Komachi tasted the dish she had just picked up with chopsticks. It tasted the same as usual, without any difference. "No, it's always been like this. Is it because you've been exercising too much recently and are too tired that your sense of taste is having problems?"
Hikigaya Hachiman paused for a moment and nodded, "Yeah, maybe I've really been too tired lately."
Neither of them paid much attention and continued to eat and chat as usual.
Soon, when it was almost time for the agreed time, Hikigaya Hachiman, wearing casual summer clothes, left home under his sister's ambiguous gaze.
[Let's see from now on whether the voice I heard that time was yours, Yuigahama.]
Chapter 69: Daily Life (Part 2)
"Then mom, I'm leaving. Bye~"
"Be careful and come back early, okay?"
"Got it, don't worry!"
Yuigahama Yui was wearing a brown printed yukata. She was carefully dressed up to make her already beautiful face look even more beautiful. She said goodbye to Yuigahama Tsubaki with a towel and a bag, and ran towards the station in a hurry with obvious joy on her face.
Soon, she arrived at the station, but did not see the train she was waiting for. She turned around and adjusted her appearance in front of the glass next to her, which reflected her vague figure.
"I don't know, what will Xiaoqi say?"
Thinking that she would be able to meet the boy she liked soon, Yuigahama Yui began to feel insecure about the way she had spent more than two hours getting dressed, without even having time to eat.
The reason is very simple. It is the first time for a girl to go to a fireworks display with the boy she likes. This is a common love plot in movies and TV dramas. How can it not make the girl's heart fluctuate?
Not to mention, the boy she likes is a weird guy with a particularly twisted personality, so it would be strange if she wasn't nervous.
"Yo~ You're pretty early."
The sudden greeting startled the girl. She subconsciously took a step to distance herself, but just as she had time to raise her head, she remembered who the voice belonged to. She immediately patted her chest and rolled her eyes at Hikigaya Hachiman, who had stood next to her out of nowhere.
"Xiao Qi, why are you walking without making any sound? You scared me to death."
Yuigahama Yui didn't realize that what she was saying now sounded like a spoiled child.
"Sorry, it's almost time, let's go."
Hikigaya Hachiman would not say that he had just greeted her, but the girl, who was busy tidying up her appearance, did not notice it. Ever since that conversation in middle school that was not really a conversation, he vowed not to let others embarrass him again.
Because, embarrassment belongs to others, but shame belongs to yourself.
So, when he saw that Yuigahama Yui had almost finished tidying up, he spoke to avoid the other party noticing that he had been watching for a while and causing embarrassment.
"Hey~ Xiaoqi, wait for me."
Seeing the train coming, Yuigahama Yui hurriedly followed it. After they both got on the train, they found that it was already full. In order to avoid being separated by the crowd, Hikigaya Hachiman had to give up the distance he had always kept from the girl. He took the initiative to approach her while protecting her from being hit by the people behind him.
[Really? Can't you praise me a little, Xiaoqi, you idiot!]
Yuigahama Yui did not notice the boy's gentleness. As a girl in love, she cared more about the person she liked's approval of her dress. But when she found out that the other party didn't say a word about it, of course she felt disappointed and had no mood to notice his gentleness.
[And, he didn't even say a word. I thought something had changed, but the result is still the same as before?]
She raised her head and looked at the boy who was glancing to the side with a slightly red face. She was a little puzzled as to why he was behaving so strangely. When she was about to ask, she realized that she seemed to be a little too close to the boy.
"Don't move. There are too many people here. It will be troublesome if we disperse. Just bear with it. We will arrive at the station soon."
Hikigaya Hachiman thought that the girl hated being too close to him, so he stepped back in order to keep some distance. In order to avoid losing the girl and failing to achieve the purpose of coming out today, he opened his mouth to explain and also slightly distanced himself.
To be honest, it was actually very embarrassing for him to have such close contact with a girl.
"No~ I didn't mean that..."
[Stupid Xiaoqi, that's not annoying, that's shy~ Really, it's so infuriating. ]
[Have you ever seen a girl go to a fireworks festival with a boy she hates?]
Knowing that the boy had a strong inferiority complex for unknown reasons, Yuigahama Yui was thinking about how to organize her words so as to resolve the misunderstanding between the two without revealing her own emotions.
But facing a master of sophistry, and because of her own limited vocabulary, she found that she was simply unable to construct the sentence she wanted.
So, she gave up.
"By the way, the yukata suits you very well."
When she was feeling low, she heard a soft and shy voice. Her dull pupils suddenly burst into a dazzling light. She raised her head and looked at the boy who noticed her gaze and turned away with a blushing face. She smiled.
"Idiot, you should have said this when you met."
"I'm so sorry for being such an idiot."
"Hehe~ That's right, Xiaoqi is an idiot~"
Next, with Hikigaya Hachiman's praise as the pioneer, the conversation between the two tore through the initial dull atmosphere and gradually became light-hearted.
Of course, as a loner, Hikigaya Hachiman is just a listener most of the time, but based on the experience he has acquired over the years, he also knows how to make the other person feel less embarrassed, so the atmosphere can be lighthearted instead of a cold and awkward chat.
Soon, after arriving at the station, they walked to the venue of the fireworks display, but it was completely different from the love-filled and sour smell in movies and TV dramas. Here, there were only bustling crowds and various chaotic sounds.
[This is not the fireworks display I wanted! ! ! ]
The fireworks display before her eyes was completely different from the romantic atmosphere she had expected, and Yuigahama Yui felt like she had turned into a black and white person.
"Let's go. I haven't been to many fireworks displays. You must have been here many times, Yuigahama. Can you introduce it to me?"
Sensing the gloom hanging over the girl, Hikigaya Hachiman scratched his head, stopped the words "Let's go home" that were about to come out of his mouth upon seeing this scene, and said something that was completely out of character.
"…"
"What's wrong?"
Hikigaya Hachiman pretended not to know as the girl stared at him blankly, looking shocked by his words.
"No, nothing..."
Yuigahama Yui smiled sweetly, pulled his clothes, and pointed to the snack stands in front, "Then let's eat something first. I know some of the stalls have delicious food."
"Well, let's go."
Along the way, the two looked like ordinary friends, shuttling between snack stalls and toy stalls, with occasional laughter being heard.
As for why they are said to be like ordinary friends instead of being given to men and women in love?
The reason is simple. Onlookers can easily notice that there is always an ambiguous distance between the boy and the girl. Whenever a love-related plot should happen, the boy always avoids it in a normal way that does not embarrass either party.
So, to outsiders it is just an ordinary friendship, to the girl it is normal, and to the boy it is correct.
"Huh? Isn't this Yui?"
Suddenly a voice interrupted the conversation between the two with a hint of doubt. When I turned around subconsciously, a short-haired girl in beautiful clothes came into my sight, accompanied by a few female companions.
