I loaded the dream game

I suddenly started to feel self-deprecating... Was I really that drunk?

Xia Zhi thought to himself and said, "No, for me, Mr. Zhendong is the best teacher..."

"Thank you so much..."

Kirisu Madoka still closed her eyes, hugged the boy's neck tightly, and said in an unclear tone with a hint of emotion: "Xiazhi-san, you are really good at comforting people..."

"He's very responsible for his sister... He also takes good care of Eluka... That's really amazing..."

Compliments, which were rarely seen at other times, were spoken out at this moment as if they were free of charge, making Xia Zhi a little unsure whether she really meant it or was just confused by the alcohol.

But no matter what, I'll just accept it for now.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Zhi took out his mobile phone and turned on the recording.

"I work hard in school... Even if I am reluctant, I still listen to the teacher and go to the tutoring class..."

"Uh-huh."

"He also takes the teacher's feelings into consideration... He is the best student..."

"Uh-huh."

"I will do what I promised... and I will wear my school uniform every day..."

"Hmm, 3.2...?"

It feels like things are starting to get weird?

"It's great that you tie your tie properly... It's also great that you eat lunch on time..."

"..."

Is it necessary to praise these too?

"It's great that your mother gave birth to you instead of char siu..."

"…Mafuyu-sensei."

"Hmm...what's wrong...?"

"I'm actually not as good as you say..."

Xia Zhi thought it would be better not to let her continue praising him.

"how could be?"

Kirisu Madoka didn't think so.

She stretched out her hand, touched the boy's head, and said gently:

"You... are my best student... Xia Zhi..."

Chapter 409: Someone You Can Always Rely On

After bringing Mr. Madoka, who was obviously drunk, back to his room and settling him down, Xiazhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn't quite sure whether Teacher Madoka was a good drinker or a bad drinker... But in any case, he would let her avoid alcohol in the future.

After all, being praised for everything from your clothes to your birth sign, and even every word in your name being singled out for praise... I can't say that this feeling is unpleasant, but it always feels a little weird.

Looking at Teacher Madoka who had closed her eyes and fallen asleep with even breathing, Xia Zhi sighed softly, covered her with the quilt, and turned to leave the room.

He hasn't eaten much of his dinner yet.

However, Xia Zhi, who had just left the room, saw a familiar figure outside the door.

"Lilia?"

He tried to call out the girl's name.

"What are you doing here...Have you finished your meal?"

"It's just that I'm a little worried..." Lilia glanced in the direction of the house and asked in a low voice: "Is Teacher Mafuyu... okay?"

"I'm just drunk. I'll be fine after a good sleep." Xia Zhi explained.

"Is that so? That's good..."

Lilia breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this was a dinner specially prepared for the arrival of her master and teacher Madoka. If something went wrong because of it, she would feel very guilty.

On the other hand, Xia Zhi was thinking about another thing——

If Lilia was worried about catching up, then what Madoka said along the way...

"I, I didn't hear anything." Lilia turned her head away with a slightly red face.

"..."

It's obvious that he heard everything, right?

Although for Xia Zhi, it wasn't something that couldn't be heard by others, it was just...

"Don't tell Mr. Mafuyu." He whispered to the girl.

"Yeah..." Lilia nodded with a red face.

Then, a hint of hesitation appeared on her face.

"Um... Master."

"what happened?"

Lilia pursed her lips and asked, "When do you plan to go back this time...?"

"Let me think about it..." Xia Zhi thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe I'll be back in a while, right?"

After all, it's actually quite late now. Although I've said hello to Xia Zhi at home, I'd still be worried if she didn't come home at night, right?

"That's it..."

After a moment of silence, Lilia continued: "Then...can I talk to you?"

"...Life talk?"

"No! It's just a normal chat!" the girl retorted with a slightly blushing face.

"I am very experienced in guiding others."

"I already said it's not true!"

"Don't be embarrassed. Just rely on Master for anything you need."

"Can't you just listen to what others say?!"

……

As it turned out, Lilia was not here to talk to Xia Zhi about her life. She just told Xia Zhi everything that had happened during this period bit by bit, just like telling a story.

Xia Zhi sat next to the girl and listened quietly to her story of her experiences over the past period of time.

"That's it. Although there are many not-so-good things, the world is always moving in a good direction."

After saying everything, Lilia finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on her face relaxed a little.

But Xia Zhi didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.

Obviously, although she didn't show it, Lilia was actually under a lot of pressure. She came to talk to me about this, probably just to find someone to talk to.

In fact, facing the natural disasters specially set up for Xia Zhi, humans have no room for resistance. This has been proven by the dream game.

His goal is not to destroy the human beings in this world, but to allow them to continue to exist and not go towards self-destruction.

However, humans are not aware of this. If they are simply killed unilaterally in the face of collapse without seeing any hope of victory, the collapse of society and civilization is only a matter of time as despair accumulates.

Therefore, whether she is willing or not, Lilia, who possesses the power to kill the Herrscher, naturally becomes the hope in people's eyes and the savior of this world, just like the world's first hero.

Only Lilia herself knew that it was impossible for her to save the world...or rather, the world had already been saved.

Holding an impossible goal, carrying the hopes of all mankind, and taking on the responsibility of taking care of the children...

How many people would notice that this invincible and strongest person in the eyes of the world, the last savior of the world, the gentle and strong sister Lilia in the eyes of children, is actually just an underage girl who is not even of drinking age?

Carrying all this alone, Lilia must be very tired, right?

"Thank you for your hard work, Lilia."

Xia Zhi reached out his hand, gently rubbed the girl's head, and said softly: "You don't have to work hard, it's okay... You've done very well."

"So, just rely on Master as much as you can. If you want, just leave everything to me. Master will take care of everything for you..."

Hearing the boy's words and feeling the warm touch on her head, Lilia pursed her lips, her nose felt sore, and her vision gradually became blurred.

"Master..."

The girl's voice was slightly choked.

"What's wrong?" Xia Zhi answered softly.

"…I am no longer your disciple."

Summer Solstice: "..."

Why are you still bringing this up?

Lilia took a deep breath, calmed down her inner emotions, raised her head, looked at Xia Zhi and continued: "Master, you have done enough. If you still need to worry about these follow-up matters, then I, your disciple, am too useless."

"…So, don't worry, Master."

"I will use my own strength to protect this world for you."

Looking at the girl in front of him, whose eyes were tearful but determined, Xia Zhi could finally be sure that she had indeed grown up.

"only……"

Just as the thought came to my mind, I heard the hesitant voice of a young girl.

"only?"

Lilia pursed her lips, gently leaned her head on the boy's shoulder, and closed her eyes...

"Just for tonight...can I lean on you for a bit?"

Looking at the girl standing so close to him, her slightly flushed cheeks and trembling eyelashes all showed her inner nervousness at the moment.

Xia Zhi sighed slightly.

It seems that I really won’t be able to have dinner tonight…

Chapter 410: There are never enough rooms at home

When Kirisu Madoka woke up, it was already the next morning.

"Well...it hurts..."

She held her forehead and sat up from the bed. She felt a terrible headache and a nauseous feeling.

This feeling was not familiar, but it was not strange either. Kirisu Madoka quickly realized that she must have been drunk last night.

"I didn't do anything strange yesterday... did I?" she thought to herself worriedly.

If it were any other time it would be fine, but if I had done something weird in front of so many kids, including Xia Zhi and Lilia yesterday, it would have been really terrible.

Kirisu Madoka thought to herself, raised her head and looked around, only to find that this was an unfamiliar room.

...It’s not quite right to say that it’s unfamiliar, as I seem to have been here once.

Looking at the decorations in the room, Kirisu Madoka's confused thoughts gradually became clear, and she finally remembered that this seemed to be Xiazhi's room?

Looking at the unique regular dodecahedron on the desk not far away, which looked like a star and was faintly floating on the cup decoration shining with star-like light, she was certain of her guess.

What should I do if I wake up and find myself in my student’s bed?

Kirisu Madoka lowered her head and looked at herself, analyzing calmly and thinking carefully.

It’s just sleeping in someone else’s room for one night, it shouldn’t be a strange thing...right?

She looked at her clothes, which were still in good order, and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she endured the headache and nausea, got out of bed, put on her slippers, and left the room.
