I loaded the dream game

"It's not entirely due to this reason...but it is indeed the main reason." Xia Zhi replied after thinking for a while.

"So..." Yang No took a deep breath, looked at the boy in front of her, and asked the question that concerned her most: "Why did Yukino ask you to save me even though she didn't remember me?"

Wanting to save a non-existent person was not something that Yukino would do. If she wasn't 100% sure that this "non-existent person" had ever existed, she probably wouldn't have had such an "absurd" idea, not to mention...

"Why...of course it's because I told her about you." Xia Zhi said as a matter of course.

"...That's all?"

"That's all...what else?" Xia Zhi looked at her strangely.

"Just because you told her that she has a sister?" Yang Nai's tone still seemed a little unconvinced.

"..."

Xia Zhi sighed slightly, stood up, and said to her: "Don't you understand yet, Miss Yukinoshita Haruno."

"Yukino, even though she doesn't remember you, even though she has no memories or feelings towards you, she still wants to save you, who doesn't exist to her."

After saying this, he took one last look at Yang Noi, then turned and left the room, leaving the girl alone in the room in silence.

As the door closed, silence returned to the room.

"..."

You are the one who doesn't understand, Xia Zhi...

Looking at the direction the boy left, Yang Nai thought silently and shook her head slightly.

Since there is no memory, how can there be any feelings and bonds?

in other words……

"She doesn't believe in 'me', but in you..." She murmured softly in an inaudible voice.

Just words without any reason could make Yukino believe, and even make her willing to put aside her stubbornness and competitiveness and say "Help me"...

This is no longer just a matter of "trust", right?

“…But, speaking of this.”

After a long silence, she withdrew her gaze, looked around the room, and a confused expression appeared on her face: "Isn't this his room?"

……

Xia Zhi, who had just walked out of the room, quickly reacted to this problem.

...No, that's my room, right? Why would I come out here alone?

I can only say that because the atmosphere was so good at the time, I was so focused on looking cool that I accidentally overlooked this point... If I were to back out now, would it feel a little weird?

After thinking about it, Xia Zhi gave up the idea of ​​going back to the room, but went out and went straight to the rooftop.

The sky was still dotted with stars, twinkling with silver light, just like the starry sky he saw when he first came to this world.

For the ancient stars, this month is just an insignificant time in their lives, so short that it can almost be ignored. But for humans like Xia Zhi, one month is enough for many things to happen... After all, the winter vacation is only about one month.

However, what makes Xia Zhi feel a little strange is that he has been in this world for such a long time and has even met the protagonist of this world, Shana, but why has the plot not entered the "main line" yet?

Could it be that some "condition" has not been met or has been overlooked by myself?

Just as he was thinking this in his heart, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind him.

Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, turned around, and happened to see the figure of a girl walking out from behind the rooftop door.

"..." The girl, who was originally a little absent-minded, was also stunned after seeing the figure on the rooftop.

Looking at the girl in the light red dress staring at him blankly, Xia Zhi thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Is this all you have?"

"..."

A "well" character appeared on the girl's forehead.

Chapter 290: The girl is ready to leave?

The girl seemed to have just finished a shower, her hair was still a little wet, with a few strands hanging on the sides of her face, and her delicate skin, which was faintly slid by water droplets, was delicately white. The places that the sleeveless dress could not cover were exposed, and the slender arms like tender lotus roots were exposed. The cold wind blew in the evening, blowing her snow-white and tender shoulders red.

"…Shana?"

Seeing that the girl didn't respond, Xia Zhi called her name in confusion.

"Don't call me by that name!"

The girl glared at him and walked towards him with heavier steps, her pink velvet slippers making a "tapping" sound on the ground.

Seeing this, Xia Zhi thought about it and consciously moved to the side to make room for her.

The girl didn't hesitate and sat down next to him.

It was not until then that Xia Zhi noticed that the exquisite pendant she usually wore was not hanging on her chest.

"You look like you're in a bad mood?"

After thinking about it, Xia Zhi asked her.

"No..." The girl curled up her legs, wrapped her arms around her knees, buried half of her face in them, and answered in a muffled voice.

"Are you happy now? 110" Xia Zhi tilted his head and asked again.

"?"

Do you think I look happy?

Seeing the girl glaring at him, Xia Zhi continued indifferently: "So, if you don't say anything, how will others know what's bothering you, and how can they comfort you?"

After all, not everyone is a mind-reading monster.

Xia Zhi thought to himself.

Although the wall of the heart is unbreakable, it can be weakened to some extent through exchanges and communication.

...Of course, this is based on the premise that both parties have this willingness.

"Who asked you to comfort me?" The girl glared at him and said unhappily, "You don't need to care about my affairs!"

See, in a situation like this, there is absolutely nothing that can be done.

"That's it..."

Xia Zhi thought about it, but didn't take it too seriously. He turned around and looked at the starry sky above his head, and said softly:

"No wonder... After all, the only person you can open your heart to is probably Alastair, right?"

Hearing his words, the girl's body trembled slightly.

...That's not the case.

She pursed her lips, but didn't say this out loud.

After a long silence, she finally opened her mouth and said, "I...will leave here tomorrow."

"is it?"

Xia Zhi didn't seem to care much, and then asked: "Are you going to do something important?"

"…About that." The girl said vaguely.

She has been in this city for too long... Normally, the Fire Mist Warriors would not stay in a city for too long. After eliminating the "Apostles" who were doing evil in that area, they would soon embark on the journey to conquer the next "Apostle".

During the more than one month she spent in this city, she did not notice any signs of other "Apostles". After spending this period of time with him, she finally confirmed that Xia Zhi was not the "Apostle" she initially thought.

So, it's time to get out of here...

The girl thought to herself.

Of course, this is just a reason she found for herself. As for whether there are other reasons, only she herself knows.

"In that case... then I'll tell Yang Nai tomorrow and I won't prepare lunch for you, right? By the way, are you leaving in the morning?" Xia Zhi asked curiously after thinking for a moment.

The girl was slightly stunned, and asked in confusion: "You... won't stop me?"

"Why should I stop you?" Xia Zhi asked puzzledly.

"Because... our deal is not over yet..."

But what she did was equivalent to unilaterally terminating the transaction. Logically speaking, even if he was angry about this, it was normal, and the girl was mentally prepared for it.

However, Xia Zhi's reaction once again surprised her.

(bidc) "Can't we just continue that kind of thing after you come back?" Xia Zhi said nonchalantly.

"...Huh?" The girl was a little stunned.

Seeing her somewhat surprised look, Xia Zhi showed a puzzled expression: "Why are you so surprised... Don't you plan to come back?"

"No, I..."

The girl opened her mouth slightly, but did not continue speaking.

Although this was indeed her original intention, when she saw Xia Zhi's puzzled look, she didn't know why the words on her lips suddenly became speechless.

…You could just say it out loud, why do I care so much about his feelings?

The girl felt inexplicably irritated, but she couldn't vent it, so she could only sulk again.

Looking at the girl beside him who was pursing her lips angrily and sulking with herself for no apparent reason, Xia Zhi felt a little confused.

Why are you angry again for no reason?

Obviously, I saw that she was in a bad mood at first, so I wanted to comfort her, but now it seems that the effect has been counterproductive?

Is it so hard to appease?

Xia Zhi thought about it and put his hand on the girl's head.

"!?"

The girl who was touched by him trembled slightly, and jumped up as if she had been electrocuted. She looked at him with a red face and stammered, "You, you, you, what are you doing!?"

"I just prepared a gift for you." Xia Zhi gestured to her with his head.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then she touched the top of her head with her hand, and felt the soft fabric on her hand.

It was not until then that she noticed that she had a cute pink beret on her head.

"...What is this?" There was a hint of confusion in her voice.

"Hat." Xia Zhi answered truthfully.

Of course I know it's a hat.

The girl couldn't help but complain in her heart.

"But at the same time, you can also regard it as a treasure."

After thinking about it, Xia Zhi decided to explain the effect of the beret in a language that the girl could easily understand:

"If you encounter danger, you only need to hide your head and crouch down to avoid being hurt."

"..."

The girl wanted to say that she actually had a defensive treasure, but when she thought that it was a gift from the boy, she closed her mouth involuntarily and did not say it out loud.

"By the way, this is a loan to you. Remember to return it to me when you come back." Xia Zhi added as a reminder.

"..."

The expression on the girl's face immediately turned cold.

"I don't need this kind of thing!"

"Don't say that. It's still quite useful... How about we rehearse it now?"

"No way... Besides, what kind of weird action is this?"

"Isn't this cute? Wait a minute, I'll take a picture first..."

"..."

The girl made a silent decision in her heart.

I will never have the day to use this "treasure" in actual combat.
