I loaded the dream game

anyway……

Looking at Xiao Xia Zhi passing by without even looking at him and going straight back to her room, Xia Zhi felt a little troubled as he felt that this scene seemed familiar.

...Who should wash the dishes tonight?

You can figure this out without even thinking about it, right?

"If I had known earlier, I should have told Xia Zhi that we would have eaten bamboo tube rice today." Xia Zhi sighed slightly and thought this with some regret in his heart.

……

After returning to her room and locking the door, Xiao Xiazhi threw herself heavily onto the bed.

However, she had somewhat forgotten that the beds of that era were not as soft as those of modern times, but most of them were hard beds.

and so……

"Bam—"

"Aww!"

The girl couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

She covered her forehead with her hands. You could tell without even looking that it was red.

Even though it hurt, she had no intention of sitting up again... or rather, she wasn't in the mood for that right now.

Xiao Xia Zhi took a deep breath, hugged the pillow on the bed tightly, and buried half of her face in the soft pillow. After a long time, she finally calmed down her inner mood.

"I screwed up again..."

She muttered in a low voice, muffled.

Recalling what had just happened, she felt annoyed and irritated.

Why can't I speak out my thoughts frankly?

Obviously, even if I didn't say it, he would have seen it, right?

Xiao Xiazhi let out a dull breath, looking weak, with her two little feet still hanging outside the bed, with no intention of retracting them...

She knows her personality is unpleasant, so she is working hard to change it.

Usually, I help with housework and try to learn how to cook. I practice repeatedly to make better dishes and try to better suit my brother's taste...

But these words alone are not enough.

If there is only a change in behavior but no change in the fundamental character, my brother will definitely still be annoyed and dislike me.

And then, it will be the same as that day again...

Recalling that day, when she heard the boy mumbling outside the living room, the girl couldn't help but hold the pillow tightly with both hands.

"What on earth are you doing, stupid Natsuori..." she muttered in her heart.

If this continues, my brother will really... leave me...

Is there any way to make my brother never leave me?

A trace of confusion appeared in the girl's eyes.

3.2 Then, her body suddenly stiffened, as if she had thought of something, and her confused eyes gradually brightened...

……

At the same time, Xia Zhi, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, suddenly saw a task prompt pop up in front of him.

[Main quest has been started]

Chapter 472: Kitahara Natsuori Doesn’t Want to Get Married

Xia Zhi wasn’t quite sure what the triggering logic of the main quest in the dream game was...it couldn’t really be because he washed the dishes, right?

『Arashima』45634⑧770

But that kind of thing doesn't matter anymore.

[Main Mission 1: Successfully conclude a marriage contract with the target (target is limited to: family members)]

[Task Reward: 1314 Dream Points]

[Main Mission 2: Give Kitahara Natsuori the future she wants]

[Task Reward: 1372 Dream Points]

[Main Mission 3: Ensure Kitahara Natsuori's safety until Main Mission 2 is completed]

[Task Reward: 500 Dream Points]

[Complete all main missions: additional reward of 700 dream points]

Compared to the previous copies, the rewards have been reduced a lot, but considering the difference in difficulty of completion, it seems quite reasonable, or even a bit too much.

And don't forget, this dungeon is an option that appears when Xia Zhi first enters the game, so strictly speaking, it should be of the same difficulty level as the dungeon of the Academy Island. If you think about it this way, you will feel that it is already very good to have so many rewards.

Although the rewards for the main quest are a little less, there are still many side quests given by Kaguya these days, which can be regarded as a compensation to some extent.

However, this is not the point.

The so-called difficulty can be divided into objective and subjective. Due to the influence of various personal factors, some things that are objectively very easy to do may be extremely difficult for some individuals.

For example, let people who are afraid of blood do surgical operations, let people with social phobia host large weddings, let people with acrophobia go rappelling, etc...

The same is true for the summer solstice today.

"Why does it have to be Xia Zhi?" he couldn't help but complain.

Although he knew that what he said was nonsense, after all, the heroine of this dream copy was Xia Zhi, he still couldn't help but complain.

Let’s not talk about the second task for now. Although I’m not sure what kind of future Xia Zhi wants, for things like this, I can just ask her and she’ll know the answer, right?

What about the first mission in comparison?

Although Xia Zhi had prepared himself mentally before entering the dungeon after seeing the name of the dungeon, he did not expect that the heroine this time would be Xia Zhi? Moreover, what did the limited object mean? Why did it have to be a family member?

"I'm afraid there's something wrong with you." Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

In fact, if we put it in the perspective of ancient times, it doesn't seem so outrageous. After all, in theory, people like distant relatives can barely be considered family members. But the problem is, there is no such thing in the summer solstice?

Moreover, from the perspective of Dream Game, what is the definition of "family"? In terms of blood relationship, sociology, or legal relationship?

Considering Xia Zhi's own situation, the first one can be ruled out. As for the next two...

If it's sociological, then Hubie and Eluko should be included, right? But if it's legal, or both... then it seems that there is only one person left.

Then consider the other party’s identity as the “heroine”.

and so……

Isn't it obvious that he is asking Xia Zhi to choose?

Xia Zhi felt a headache... He regretted choosing this copy.

If it was the grown-up Xia Zhi, then it wouldn't be unacceptable...it's just an engagement anyway, just treat it as something like pretending to be a boyfriend.

But the problem is...is Xia Zhi really not capable now?

The image of the girl's petite figure, who was not even as tall as Hubby, appeared in Xia Zhi's mind, and he sighed with a headache.

He kind of missed his old sister... It had nothing to do with the mission or anything, he just simply missed her...

……

What Xia Zhi didn't know was that there was another person who was feeling as troubled as he was at this moment.

"Ahhhhhh, you idiot!"

In Xia Zhi's room, the girl was lying on the boy's bed, hugging the quilt tightly, kicking her little feet randomly on the bed, as if venting her upset emotions.

"What are you worrying about? How could your brother leave you? You're even thinking about ending it and getting married!?"

Idiot, idiot Xia Zhi! Do you know what marriage means? Do you know what it represents? Do you know that many relationships start and end with marriage?

Besides, how can a marriage relationship be as reliable as a brother-sister relationship?

You can act like a spoiled child at will, you can be willful without any bottom line, you can enjoy his care and concern without any burden. Even if you do something wrong, you will be forgiven quickly as long as you act like a spoiled child... Don't be ungrateful for what you have!

"So, this stupid girl who knows nothing is really annoying!"

Xia Zhi hugged the quilt tightly in her arms and thought depressedly in her heart.

Of course, whether the above are her real thoughts or just excuses for herself, only the girl herself knows.

In fact, there was another reason why she felt unhappy. She knew that at this time, she couldn't tell her inner feelings at all, and she made such a decision simply because she didn't want her brother to leave.

No matter what her brother thought, she would never allow him to change their relationship with such a hasty mentality.

The girl thought to herself and raised her head suddenly.

No, I must stop her!

At least, it has to be me... uh, that's not right.

She shook her head vigorously and pulled her thoughts back.

Having said that, Xia Zhi now knows that her influence on her past self is limited, at least she cannot force her to do anything she doesn't want to do.

If her past self was determined to do so, there would be no good way for her to stop her even if she wanted to.

Xia Zhi knows herself well, and it is impossible for her in the past to understand these things all at once.

and so……

I can only find a way to make her understand that her brother will never leave her, so she won't have those bad thoughts, right?

So, what should we do?

Xia Zhi looked at the diary spread out on the boy's bed in front of her, and gradually had some ideas in her mind...

Chapter 473 Xiao Xiazhi wants to know

"Doctor, my leg hurts a little, what's the problem?"

"Well... there's good news and bad news."

"Okay, what's the good news?"

"You can lose fifteen pounds."

"Where's the bad news?"

"Your legs weigh exactly fifteen pounds."

"..."

The patient was so frightened that he turned around and walked away. He walked so briskly that it was completely unlike the limp he had been walking with when he first entered the room.

As soon as he left, another person couldn't wait to walk into the room and sit down.

"Doctor, I feel unwell all over. I may need to be hospitalized for two days."

"It's okay, just go back and eat more apples."
