I loaded the dream game

Xia Zhi followed her gaze and saw a familiar petite figure at the rooftop stairs not far away.

Yang Noi greeted Shana with a smile, said "I won't bother you anymore" and turned and left, leaving the girl and Xia Zhi looking at each other on the rooftop.

Xia Zhi looked carefully at the girl in front of him.

The girl, who had just finished taking a shower, seemed to have dressed up. She was no longer wearing her original dress, but had changed into an elegant and cute tube-style miniskirt. Her slender white calves were exposed outside the skirt, and against the backdrop of black leather shoes, she looked particularly white and tender.

Her long black hair was still draped behind her, matching her pretty face, making her look as cute as a doll.

But for some reason, there was a hint of hesitation on the girl's face, as if she was struggling with something.

"…Shana?"

Xia Zhi tilted his head and tried to call out the girl's name.

"..."

Shana pursed her lips but didn't say anything. She just silently called out "Yogashi", pulled out a cold and sharp sword from it, and pointed the tip of the sword at the boy.

Xia Zhi: “……?”

Have I done anything to deserve your sword?

...Well, it seems that there is such a thing.

Xia Zhi hesitated and thought to himself.

But... that should also be using a hatchet, right?

Just as he was daydreaming, Shana on the other side spoke again:

"You...are about to leave?"

"..."

Xia Zhi fell silent. He did not ask the girl how she knew this. He just nodded slightly.

"Um……"

Shana pursed her lips, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, they had turned a burning red.

The surging flames spread out in ripples, and the red lotus flames instantly blocked everything around, causing the space to fall into a bright red stagnation.

"I know I am no match for you."

Amidst the flying fire powder, Shana tightly grasped the sword in her hand, stared at the boy opposite her and said: "But... I will use my own way to fight for what I want!"

"boom--!"

Amid the explosion of flames, the fragile concrete floor instantly cracked into spider-web-like cracks and suddenly sank in.

The blazing red flames spanned the space, tearing everything in its path as if to split the entire apartment in two, and rushed towards the young man.

"Qiang!"

A violent sound of metal clashing was heard, and the strong air wave generated by the collision spread out, pushing away the surrounding scorching flames and dispersing them.

Xia Zhi tightly grasped the black sword in his hand, looking at the girl who was confronting him very close.

A head of long hair that seemed to be burning, emitting scorching red hair...

A black coat that looked like a cape fluttered in the flames...

The hair, which exudes a fiery red color but has a soft texture, slowly stretches towards the ground and extends to the waist. As if it can't keep up with the speed of the hair, the hot powder scatters everywhere...

Just like when I first met her, this girl is as hot as a flame.

The only difference is probably the exquisite clothes under the black coat, right?

"It's better not to wear skirts when fighting in the future." Xia Zhi gave advice tactfully.

Shana's cheeks turned slightly red, and she glared at him fiercely and said, "You're so nagging! What do you care?"

I was just making a suggestion, how come I'm in charge of you?

Xia Zhi was dissatisfied and asked back, "What's wrong with me caring about you?"

"Then continue to manage it!"

The girl gritted her teeth, and her inner emotions finally burst out along with the flames.

"Bam—!"

The blazing red flames rose up and wrapped around the sword. With just one swing, the surging flames easily tore the entire apartment building, including the opposite floor, into two halves.

· ········Request flowers··· ··

The scorching heat distorted the air and burned the ground, causing the hard concrete floor to gradually soften and turn red.

In front of this flame from the God of Heavenly Punishment, even the most powerful Red World Demon King would not dare to touch it casually.

However, the two figures in the center of the flames seemed to be fine, ignoring the blazing red lotus flames around them, and their eyes seemed to only reflect each other's figures.

Shana gritted her teeth, looked at the boy in front of her and shouted, "Since you like to meddle so much, why don't you just keep meddlesome?"

"My hobbies, my behavior, my clothes, my habits... If you want, everything about me can be left to you!"

Xia Zhi curled the corner of his mouth: Good man, you want to get a babysitter for nothing?

In fact, he knew what the girl was thinking.

Unlike Hubie, the girl is not free from worries in this world. Besides Xia Zhi, she has many people who love her and are loved by her. In addition, facing those beings from another world, even with Xia Zhi's guarantee, she, as a contractor of the God of Heaven's Punishment, has her own responsibilities and cannot just ignore them... It is precisely because Xia Zhi will leave eventually that she has to shoulder the responsibility brought by the boy.

All the above reasons meant that the girl would never abandon everything and leave this world with him... She couldn't give up the identity of "the killer with flaming hair and burning eyes", just like she couldn't give up the name "Shana". No matter which one she lost, she would no longer be that Shana.

. ..... .......

and so……

"Don't go... okay?"

"..."

Xia Zhi sighed softly, swung the black sword in his hand, and easily knocked the sword in the girl's hand away.

"Dang Cang..."

"Zhidianzana" fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Shana pursed her lips, as if she had received an answer from the boy, and revealed an unwilling expression.

However, at this moment, a bunch of metal keys were handed to her, making a slight sound of colliding with each other.

Shana was slightly stunned: "This is...?"

"My house key."

Xia Zhi took the girl's hand, gently placed the keychain in her palm, and continued to explain: "It connects to my world. When you go there, a girl named Xia Shi will find you. After explaining your purpose to her, you can wait for me to find you."

Shana stared blankly at the metal keychain in her hand, unable to come back to her senses for a moment.

"Of course, if you find it troublesome, you can go directly to Heikati." Xia Zhi added after thinking about it.

After all, she is her own shrine maiden, so it is only natural for her to communicate with the gods through prayers and other means.

"Or, if you really can't think of anything else, just call my name like you did last time."

Shana blushed slightly, glared at him gently, and muttered softly, "Who would miss you so much?"

"That would be best, of course."

After all, although the last one is the most convenient for the girl, it is the most troublesome for herself.

Xia Zhi thought to himself, stood up again, and was about to say something else, but suddenly he felt someone hugging him gently.

"..."

Before the seal was lifted, Xia Zhi vaguely heard the girl say something in his ear amidst the rubble that kept rising and overlapping.

He was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, the apartment building damaged in the battle had been completely repaired and the blockade had been lifted, revealing the clear sky outside.

"What did you just say?"

Withdrawing his gaze from the distance, Xia Zhi looked at the girl in front of him again and asked in confusion.

"I just said..."

Shana stepped out of the boy's arms, put her hands behind her back, looked into the boy's black eyes, took a deep breath, and opened her mouth slightly...

This time, there was no cover. The breeze blowing gently from the rooftop failed to conceal the girl's feelings, but brought her words to the other party with incomparable clarity...

"…I like you, idiot."

……

PS: It's considered a two-in-one chapter. There's another chapter later, but it should be after midnight.

Chapter 372: Would you like to come in and sit down?

Consciousness gradually emerged from the darkness, and Xia Zhi, who had awakened from his "sleep", slowly opened his eyes and was stunned for a moment as he looked at the empty ceiling.

Strange...Oh, it’s the ceiling of my own house, that’s okay.

Xia Zhi, who had not returned to reality for a "long time", felt a moment of strangeness in his room.

He shook his head and sat up from the bed.

He glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table and confirmed that only half an hour had passed since he entered the dungeon.

I don’t know if that girl Xia Zhi has come back.

Xia Zhi thought about it, opened the entrance to his personal universe, took out a small figure from it and gently threw it on the bed.

"Well……"

Ai Luke wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction, but seemed to feel the breath of the boy around him. He turned over, hugged Xia Zhi's quilt tightly, rubbed his little face gently, and fell asleep again contentedly.

You won't wake up even like this?

What an enviable sleep quality.

Xia Zhi sighed in his heart.

At this moment, there was a slight "click" sound behind him, which seemed to be the sound of the door being opened.

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned, turned around, and saw the familiar petite girl standing at the door.

It's Hubie...

He felt a little relieved... If it was Xia Zhi, he really didn't know how to explain it.

But then again, the girl came here just as I woke up. She is quite punctual.

"Hubby... I've calculated the time..."

After a brief explanation, Hubie's eyes fell on Xia Zhi's bed, where the cute girl was sleeping with his quilt in her arms, and he tilted his head slightly:

"Summer Solstice...an affair?"

Several black lines immediately appeared on Xia Zhi's forehead.

Regardless of whether the behavior constitutes a standard, just from the definition, "affair" is usually used for married men and women, right?

"So...cheating?"

"No." Xia Zhi walked up to the girl, ruffled her hair unhappily and said, "In terms of time, she knew me earlier than you."

Putting aside the question of whether she cheated or not, if we have to count according to the standards of the mechanical girl, she is actually the one who came later.

Hubie nodded thoughtfully, looked at him and continued to ask:

"…Old love rekindled?"

"..."

Can you please stop dwelling on this issue?

Xia Zhi once again deeply realized that it was meaningless to continue to argue with the Ex-Machina on such issues.

While thinking this, Xia Zhi took out his mobile phone from his pocket, thought about it for a moment, tried to enter a number on it, and clicked to dial...

However, after waiting for a while, the call was not successfully dialed, and the call interface was stuck at the "dialing" stage.

Xia Zhi took a closer look and found that the signal bar on the phone was empty.
