"Hmm?" Shi Chen looked at it in confusion.

Yoshino looked at it with a puzzled expression.

"Yoshino, isn't this great? This older brother is such a good person. I can feel his gentleness. He just helped us. Why not just entrust your life to him?"

"Ugh!" Yoshino immediately blushed.

"Yoshina, what are you talking about?" Tokishi shook his head.

"Hmph~ Big brother~ You can't fool me. You really can't bear to let go of Yoshino's petite and soft body, can you? You pervert, you're still pretending to be stupid!"

"You've misunderstood me. I was just worried that she might have hurt herself after the fall, and besides, she's so young, how could I possibly have any ulterior motives?"

"Who knows, what if you're a lolicon? Yoshino is so cute."

"..."

"Oh my gosh~ I guessed right?"

"No... I'm just very sad." Shi Chen pretended to be sad.

"Hmm?" Yoshino and Yoshina tilted their heads cutely, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"I was just trying to help you, but you slandered me. It hurts me so much."

"Oh...that seems so." Yoshina felt a little ashamed.

"Ugh!" Yoshino panicked as well.

"Haha~ Just kidding." Shi Chen's sorrow turned to joy, and he burst into laughter.

“Hmm…” Yoshino blinked blankly.

"Oh! Big brother, you're really interesting!" Yoshina shook herself.

"Right? How about we become friends?"

"Want to be friends...?" Yoshino glanced at Yoshino, then nodded: "No problem! You're a nice person, we'll be friends from now on."

"That's great."

"Hmph~ Since we're friends, I'll reluctantly let you hug Yoshino a little longer, consider it a treat for you."

"Ugh!" Yoshino immediately blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone.

"Why are you so naughty?" Shi Chen couldn't help but shake his head.

"Don't you like it, big brother?" Yoshina asked back.

"Hmm... alright, I really like her. Yoshino is so cute. Since you say so, I'll gladly accept your offer."

"Ugh!" Yoshino shrank into a ball in embarrassment.

"Hahaha!"

Yoshina burst into laughter: "Big brother, you're really interesting. I wish we had met you sooner."

"Isn't it too late now?"

"Now? Yes, it's not too late. It's great to have met you."

“Hmm…” Yoshino, curled up in a ball, nodded in agreement.

"Praising me won't do you any good~ At most, it'll just mean I'll play with you guys a little longer."

"Big brother, you're so much fun... but we have to go now."

"Hmm...it seems to be getting late. Would you like me to take you home?"

"No need, no need, big brother, you should keep your distance from us. Getting involved with us isn't a good thing~ it'll cause a lot of trouble." Yoshina was clearly warning him.

"Is that so?" Shi Chen said dismissively, "I'm not afraid of trouble at all."

"Oh dear~ Oh dear~ Big brother, don't you trust us? Please let us go, or something bad might happen later."

"I trust you all, and I'm not afraid of anything happening."

"Big brother, you...?"

"Yoshino, you should be able to sense it, right?"

"...What did you feel?"

"Don't play dumb. Don't you find the aura within me familiar?"

"..."

Yoshino remained silent, while Yoshino looked up, glancing at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

"Ugh."

After a long while, Yoshina sighed and said helplessly, "So you knew, big brother."

"Of course, you can sense the familiar aura within me, so of course I can sense the familiar aura within you too."

That's why he was able to find them directly.

"I see... So, big brother, you came here to hurt us?"

"No, that's not it." Shi Chen shook his head.

"Ok?"

"I'm here to protect you."

Chapter 180 Bringing Yoshino Home

"...Big brother, did I hear that right?" Yoshina stared at Toki with an incredulous expression and asked blankly.

Although its face showed no expression.

Yoshino also looked at the time, her large eyes seemingly shining.

"If I were here to hurt you, why would I have helped you just now?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.

“Now that you mention it…that makes sense.” Yoshina nodded, then couldn’t help but ask, “Isn’t it because you don’t want to give us hope first, then let us despair?”

"You think too badly of me, don't you? Don't be so dark-minded."

"But we don't know each other at all, why are you protecting us?"

"Who says we don't know each other? Doesn't the shared aura within us prove everything?"

"What does this mean?"

"We are the same kind of people."

"Fellow beings... Big brother, are you the same kind of being as us?"

"Pretty much..."

“I see, we actually have our own kind... Yoshino, that's great, we're not alone.”

"Hmm..." Yoshino nodded with a smile.

Shi Chen finally heard her voice, which was very soft and cute, just like a cotton candy.

Hearing something in person is quite different from hearing it across dimensions. It's like how, before, the physical body could hear it, but now even the soul can hear it.

"Can you trust me now?" Shi Chen asked.

“Hmm…it still doesn’t work,” Yoshina replied.

"...Why?" Shi Chen's lips twitched.

"That's not a good enough reason, big brother."

"We're all the same kind, isn't that enough of a reason?"

Don't humans also enjoy killing each other?

"Now that you put it that way, I really can't refute it."

"Hmph~ So, big brother, you still need a decisive reason to convince us before I can completely believe you."

"The decisive reason..."

"Big brother, don't blame us for being too demanding. We just really want someone we can truly trust."

"I know......"

Shichen nodded, looking at the person and the doll, thinking about what decisive reason he could use to persuade the two of them.

Convincing someone to believe is both easy and difficult; it really depends entirely on the other person.

If she's willing to believe, she'll believe you no matter what; conversely, if she's unwilling to believe, she won't believe you no matter what.

Tokishi knew that Yoshina actually believed him at this point, but probably just wanted to tease him or test him.

The decisive reason...

Tokishi looked at Yoshino, at her delicate and exquisite face, her flawless skin, and the expectant light in her eyes...

"Okay, I know what reason to use."

"Oh~ Big brother said to come and see."

"Actually..." Shi Chen said with a serious expression, then added, "I'm a lolicon!"

"..." Yoshina seemed stunned.

Yoshino looked at him, completely bewildered.

"How about this reason?" Shi Chen asked seriously.

"Big brother, you... hahaha!"

Yoshina suddenly laughed, her small body swaying as if she might fall out of Yoshino's arms at any moment.

Yoshino looked at it with a puzzled expression.

"Big brother, you're so funny!"

"Right? A lot of people say that about me."

"Hahaha! I understand, we believe you, big brother." Yoshina bent over, looking like she couldn't straighten up from laughing.
