Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 274 Love Is Fighting
After the debate about bathing and phone calls ended, Gongsun Ce spent a few minutes talking about his experience after waking up. (details about breast attack were selectively omitted)

"... That's it, please give me some advice for this young man, big sister."

"So that's the way it is. Hmm~~~"

Zero on the other end of the phone paused for three seconds and said:
"It's so troublesome, you stinky brat."

Gongsun Ce grabbed the phone and roared: "At least I have some sympathy for Mr. Gongsun's entanglement in pain?!"

"What are you sympathizing with? It's just the hypocritical groaning of a stinky brat." Shi Yuling said disdainfully, "'I'm so popular and so embarrassing, what should I do now'? fart behavior."

"I hung up the phone."

"It's a pity. I'm just taking a bath and I'm going to give you some benefits."

"Really?!"

Before the thought was complete, the words had already blurted out without thinking.

Someone sneered mercilessly on the phone, and Gongsun Ce covered his face in embarrassment: "I beg you, just pretend you didn't hear that sentence..."

"Take back a city~"

Throw in the towel.Had to admit defeat.

If Zero really took a selfie and sent it over, it would undoubtedly be the end of both parties.Leaving aside how I would react when I received the photo, after the call was over, that woman would [-]% be rolling in the bathtub flushed with shame.

"Seriously, I want to hear your opinion."

Shigure Zero's answer was so straightforward that he was stunned.

"You did nothing wrong in this matter. Although it is a pretentious trouble, it is also the heart disease of your masochist."

"You, on the one hand, you feel that others have no reason to fall in love with you; One-sided self-abuse to please others. How can we fall in love if this is the case?"

Totally hit the mark.

Gongsun Ce said dejectedly, "I feel hopeless when you say that..."

"Not necessarily, don't you yourself have the desire to overcome this perverted psychology? For example, take the initiative to approach me. For example, go to help that electronic pet. For example, want to get closer to the little girl of the empire. Will Doing these behaviors shows that under the self-destructive desire, you also have the urge to change in your own subconscious."

It's quite natural for you to put yourself first.

Shi Yu Ling said lazily: "So, Lianyi's suggestion is the most effective and practical. Hurry up and practice the magic trick. If the trick is successful, the heart disease will be broken. This is more effective than any psychological treatment."

Others practice impermanence to become stronger, but I practice impermanence to cure diseases.

Even if it is for my own life, I have to practice this thing...

"...Thank you for your suggestion." Gongsun Ce sighed, "I didn't expect you to make such a serious speech."

"Big sister, I have always cared about your feelings."

"Really? I'm so honored."

"Really, you are the most important person in the world to me."

"Huh?!" Gongsun Ce lost his grip and hit his phone on the bridge of his nose, "You you you you——"

"To be specific, it is the unique treasure in my life." The witch said happily.

"Stop! How did you say such shy words!"

"It's very convenient to say anything when you can't see your face. This is a valuable skill I just discovered."

Don't find useless nirvana at this time!

Gongsun Ce panted heavily as if he had finished strenuous exercise, and said with difficulty: "In short, in short, I will work hard..."

"Come on and beat yourself~ I'll find you with a souvenir after the trip." Shi Yuling said, "If you still can't overcome the problem at that time, I will take out your worthless heart."

"Don't use such a scary real event as a joke threat!" Gongsun Ce said helplessly, "By the way, will the travel diary continue to be published?"

"like to see?"

"Frankly, just seeing it makes me happy for you."

Looking at those pictures and texts, and imagining your free appearance, I feel that the battle on Zero Island is meaningful after all.

"Hmph~ Your rank has increased. Goodbye!"

Zero unilaterally ended the communication.

No doubt that person sank into the tub and spit bubbles after the call ended.

When Shi Yuling was embarrassed, he would subconsciously hide his expression, just like Qin Qianbai would unconsciously turn his face away when he was shy.By the way, when Qi Luo is shy, she will roll all over the floor or hide under the table.And Elandia... Alandia probably wouldn't be shy, would she really be embarrassed?That person is always embarrassing others, and he is always calm.

"..."

Gongsun Ce put his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling like he did three years ago.

The mess in my head was like a ball of wool, and the entanglement in my heart became more serious.He originally thought that he would be troubled by bigger and more important things, but it turns out that the culprit who caused his confusion to this point was neither Mr. Lan nor Yan Qi, nor the law of impermanence nor the art of returning to heaven, but his own outlook on life and interpersonal relationship.

"...I'm still a small character after all."

should be rejected immediately.want to say something.The two opinions were tit for tat in his heart, and he fought endlessly.Mr. Zero and Shi Yu said it very simply, as long as you have completed the cultivation of the gods, you will be fine!But this is fundamentally contradictory. If he can't even solve his own problems, how can he go from "self-clarity" to "spiritual deification"?It is always necessary to find the right direction to break through, but now he is just spinning in circles again and again, repeating the contradictory spiral of self-affirmation and self-denial...

"It would be much more convenient if we could solve everything in one fight."

Gongsun Ce got up from the bed while talking to himself, and walked out of the room.The lights in the next room were not on, and the eldest lady hadn't come back yet.He stood in the hallway, quietly waiting for his neighbor to come home.

·
"Qin Qianbai, I have expressed my heart to Gongsun Ce."

When Qin Qianbai heard her friend say these words to her personally, Qin Qianbai felt as if her heart was being clenched tightly.

First comes the panic, the fear of the possibility that the most important person will be taken away by someone else; after that comes the anger, followed by the sadness that is diffused by imagination.

The stable state of mind was shaken because of this, like a stone was thrown into the lake, and the lake surface produced circles of ripples.Want to yell, want to vent, want to be unreasonable like a child.

However, she is no longer a child, and warriors are better at controlling their emotions than anyone else.Qin Qianbai stabilized his mind, cut off the evil thoughts, tamed the distracting thoughts, and regained his composure while breathing.She was having a conversation with her friend as usual.

"……How is the result?"

There was a hint of frustration in Qi Luo's voice.

"Obviously I was expressing good intentions, but he looked as if he had been cornered."

really.

Qin Qianbai sighed in his heart many times, her sweetheart is really a troublesome man.

The girl with twin tails stood in front of her, speaking softly but firmly.

"I already knew that my first love would probably end in failure. But, Qin Qianbai, I don't want to just hide my feelings and remain close friends."

Qiluo looked at her seriously.

"I know it's despicable to be like this...Because Qin Qianbai first met Gongsun Ce, and Qin Qianbai first fell in love with him. So I want to tell you this matter face to face. Even if you will hate me, I want to go Pursue your passion."

... In the end it was not guarded.

the girl thought dejectedly.She always felt that Qi Luo was more threatening than Shigure Ling, and this was the reason.Although that woman had a close relationship with Ah Ce, she lacked the courage to confess directly.But Qi Luo is different, she has always been straightforward, dare to act and speak out.The matter of love has never been based on the accumulation of the past, and it has always been the first to win.

However, the idea of ​​defense itself is very inappropriate.After all, one person cannot control another person's feelings.Qi Luo has her own thinking, and Ah Ce also has her own thinking. She can't force everyone to act according to Qin Qianbai's thinking. Those who think like that are the immature children.

"Chilo."

The running of thoughts ended in an instant, and Qin Qianbai made a decision.She stretched out her hands—

He pinched Qi Luo's cheek.

"Ah wow wow?!"

"How dare you sneak away, I'm very angry. I'm going to rub your face hard."

"Don't, this is someone who will see it on the street, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Miss Idol's wailing lasted for about half a minute. Qin Qianbai let go of her hand contentedly, and said to her friend who was squatting down with her face covered: "The so-called love is war. There is no meanness in war. It only depends on the strength and strength of the two warring parties." determination."

"Qin Qianbai said that the sweet girl's love is like fighting!" Qi Luo screamed.

"It doesn't matter how Qi Luo wants to attack, I will also follow my pace to steadily advance the front line."

Qin Qianbai stretched out his hand to his friend, and said gently, "However, no matter what the outcome of the war, we are all good friends."

Qi Luo looked at her with teary eyes, and hugged her emotionally.

"Woo Qin Qianbai——!"

"Another attack with your fat will make me really angry."

There is too much useless fat, so let's find a way to urge Qiluo to exercise in the future.

Qin Qianbai, who was about to speak out, noticed a small head poking around not far away from the corner of his eye.

"what……"

The idol of the information life form is obviously also aware of the existence of the bystanders.She let go of her friend, looked at the corner where the child was hiding, and smiled embarrassedly: "It's Ayane!"

"It's Ayane~"

The little girl in red responded lively, jumped out from the corner, and walked towards the two of them bouncing.

Both Qin Qianbai and Qi Luo had an impression of her. This extroverted girl was a friend of the doctor and a newcomer who just came to the capital of the sky.The doctor said that he wanted her to meet some reliable friends, and Caldesia volunteered to organize several women's meetings—most of the time, Caldesia was talking non-stop, and they were mainly responsible for listening.

Ayane looked up at them and said with a smile, "Ayane, I thought there would be a fight."

"No, we are very good friends." Qin Qianbai said.

"But Ayane smells something interesting~ Jealousy, anger, hostility, self-blame, guilt, frustration, possessive desire, destructive desire... Huh, so many delicious black emotions have piled up in my heart like mud !"

In anyone's ears, these are merciless, almost accusatory words.

Still, the two she spoke to showed no sign of embarrassment.

Qin Qianbai knelt down and stroked the girl's head: "Suppress these black negative emotions with white emotions, and make rational decisions with a calm mind. Only adults can do this."

Qi Luo smiled and added: "If Ayane-chan doesn't understand, you can ask Miss Doctor~"

Ayane shook her head and sighed.

"Oh... oh! It's always obvious what decisions a rational person will make, and it's not interesting without the unknown element!"

"Goodbye, boring big sisters. Please enjoy the ordinary friendship quietly on this boring night. I heard that there have been disappearances recently, so be careful when you go home!"

Ayane left talking to herself, and her figure quickly disappeared from the sight of the two of them.

"It's a strange child..." Qi Luo said.

"After all, she is a friend of the doctor." Qin Qianbai said, "I don't think ordinary people can establish friendship with her."

Saying goodbye to the friends he met late at night, Qin Qianbai walked on the road home.She thought to herself that when the things she was afraid of before really happened, she would no longer have the fear of worrying about gains and losses.

When will Ah Ce change?Or should she take the initiative to force him to make a decision like Caldesia strongly encouraged?
But Qin Qianbai still hopes that he can have a better life... He only regards love as love, not a responsibility or a last resort.

With messy thoughts running in her mind, the girl walked into the apartment where she had lived for three years.After getting out of the elevator, she was puzzled to find that the neighbor was standing at the door of her house.

"Ace?"

"You're back, miss." Gongsun Ce said nervously, "That is to say, that..."

"I didn't quarrel with Qi Luo."

Gongsun Ce heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't even know why he felt relaxed.

"Great—"

Qin Qianbai interrupted his speech expressionlessly: "I'm sorry I didn't hear you clearly, I was thinking about beating Ah Ce."

"Abandoned punishment or revenge and directly used the word assault?!"

"Should I fight with Yin, the crescent moon, or the four murderers?"

"No matter which trick Mr. Gongsun takes, I will die!" Gongsun Ce screamed.

"Just kidding." Qin Qianbai said, "I am a magnanimous woman."

Your performance and magnanimity have always been a little bit far away.

"Then am I a man with a small belly?"

"Look, look, it's a mocking expression. Ah Ce is a man who treats me with a small stomach." The eldest lady tilted her head, "To be honest, I originally planned to move in with Ah Ce's house tonight."

"Mr. Gongsun, where should I put my personal privacy?!"

"However, I changed my mind after seeing Ah Ce." Qin Qianbai patted the neighbor's face, "Has Ah Ce looked in the mirror?"

"...my face is ugly?"

"It's ugly. It's like stabbing yourself with a knife while trying to squeeze out a smile. It reminds me of the first time we met."

Qin Qianbai raised his hand, patted the neighbor's head, and said earnestly: "If you feel uncomfortable, don't think about these things, just live according to the usual pace.

No matter what choice I make, I will support Ah Ce.Because what I want most is that you can live happily. "

Gongsun Ce lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly.

"……you are nice."

"I have always been a kind and considerate girl." Qin Qianbai walked to the door of his house, "Then, good night. Tomorrow, I will live as usual."

"Good night, miss. Tomorrow, I will act according to the original plan."

After watching his neighbors go home, Gongsun Ce felt his tense heartstrings finally loosen a little, like a drowning person being pulled back to the shore.This allowed him to finally think about other things, to think about what he should do now.

Of course, the most urgent task is to practice the supernatural powers, followed by Mr. Lan's entrustment.He has to go to see the doctor's situation, and see Badman as a last resort... If he has time, he will make up for the lessons that have been missed during this period...

Gongsun Ce sent Shi Yulian a message, made an appointment for tomorrow's practice, and closed his eyes in wild thoughts.

·
The next day, early morning.

The location is Gongsun Ce's room, accompanied by Shigure Liichi and Caldesia who came to watch curiously.

Gongsun Ce, who hadn't slept all night due to too long a sleep time, closed his eyes amidst his friend's suppressed smile, and fell into a dream.

He silently recited the mantra taught by Yan Qi, and stepped into the path of lonely form.This time, there were no more dreams, nor phantoms, and the process of self-clarification had long since ended.The scene around the road changed unknowingly, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing in his childhood residence, standing in front of his door.

"call……"

Gongsun Ce took a deep breath and kept cheering himself up.The current him is no longer what he was when he was in Lingzhao, Gongsun Ce has undoubtedly grown up after going through so many events!Be steady, mature, don't yell, let her see what you've grown up to be!

The gray-haired young man pushed open the door of his childhood room, and said the opening remarks cheerfully and enthusiastically.

"It's been a while, Elandia!"

As expected, the silver-haired knight was sitting at his desk.Dawn Knight showed no surprise at his arrival, she turned her head and stared into his eyes with those indifferent gray pupils.

"You're here, Ce."

Gongsun Ce nodded, and closed the door with his backhand.He sat on his bed, took off his glasses, wiped them carefully, and put them back on.

"..."

Gongsun Ce took off his glasses, and repeated the previous behavior for the second time under the calm gaze of the Dawn Knight.He closed his eyes, patted his face hard again, and finally shouted immaturely and unsteadily: "——what the hell are you doing?!"

"Your language expression ability has degraded to a certain extent in a short period of time."

"I'm talking about your unprecedented outfit!!"

Miss Knight's position has not changed, and Miss Knight's attitude has not changed. The only difference between this room and when he came last time is Miss Knight's dress.Elandia looked less like a detective today than a knight.She was wearing a fitted white shirt, a black frock skirt, black stockings, high heels, and a pair of silver-rimmed plain glasses.

This outfit had a considerable impact on Gongsun Ce. On the one hand, he had to admit that it was very beautiful and showed off his figure; on the other hand, he always felt that the other party should not dress like this.

"Can you give me a reason, Elandia? Why did you come here as a detective last time and become an OL this time?"

Could it be that your closet is still hidden in this cabin?

What have you done to my room!
The Dawn Knight said calmly, "This is your heart, Tse. My appearance only reflects your purpose and direction."

"I don't feel like I want to chat with female white-collar workers."

"So this costume is equivalent to another identity in your perception."

Elandia pushed down her glasses from the side. This action made Gongsun Ce feel familiar. He remembered that many female teachers in the animation were good at doing this action...

"I. No. Huh?" Gongsun Ce said awkwardly, "So I... don't... Teacher?"

"Last time you hoped that I could help you find the spiritual light, this time you hoped that I could help you learn the spiritual power." Elandia opened the desk drawer, "And you know how I will answer..."

"Some things can only be solved by ourselves." Gongsun Ce said listlessly, "Can we enter the learning stage after explaining the truth? I can't wait to accept your one-on-one tutoring."

"Pay attention to etiquette, Ce."

Gongsun Ce whistled: "Teach me, Teacher Ailandia!"

Elandia reached into the drawer and pulled out an item that would never fit in the small desk.It was a big sword that needed to be used with both hands. The whole body of the sword was pure white, giving people a sense of cold sharpness, but exuding a warm light.

"... We are going to start, one-on-one teaching, right?"

"Indeed." Dawn Knight held her sword, "Please stand still."

Then, the pure white sharp blade slashed at Gongsun Ce.
