I loaded the dream game

The girl thought to herself with some dissatisfaction.

Unfortunately, the boy moved too quickly and she was dragged away before she could say anything, thus losing a good opportunity to "redeem herself" in vain.

Irena, who was thinking this way, did not realize that she had unconsciously and subconsciously classified herself into the category of "one of the boy's own".

Summer Solstice: "..."

So no matter what, I have to give that money, right?

Just as he was complaining in his mind, he saw a bamboo forest that looked familiar appear at the end of his sight as he flew...

.......

Chapter 546 "Long time no see, my dear husband"

It’s not quite correct to say that it looks familiar. After all, bamboo forests always look pretty much the same.

Moreover, even if it is the same bamboo forest, it should have undergone significant changes after thousands of years. Therefore, the reason why Xia Zhi feels familiar is more influenced by subjective factors, just like some people always regard other girls as their wives.

But Xia Zhi was not in the mood to think about these things at the moment. After approaching the bamboo forest, he suddenly became a little nervous, or even guilty.

The image of a certain princess with long black hair appeared in his mind.

When they parted, he had promised that he would only be gone for a while, considering that he could come back at any time, but... who could have thought that what would happen later.

Although for her, only a day or two had passed, which was indeed a "while", for her, it felt like a thousand years had passed.

Even for the immortal species, a thousand years is a bit long, so it is natural for the girl to feel angry.

So, how should I comfort her then?

Inexplicably, Xia Zhi thought of the scene before they parted, when the girl stood on tiptoes and kissed him...

He shook his head vigorously, temporarily putting this idea out of his mind, lowered his head to look at his hands, and hesitated.

If 267 wanted to offer consolation and apology, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to come here empty-handed?

Xia Zhi thought to himself, his eyes passed over Hubie and Suwako and fell on the witch lady behind him.

"...?"

Irena felt a little puzzled about his sudden look at her.

"Is there a problem?"

As she spoke, she looked down at herself and didn't notice anything strange.

"What color sack do you like?" Xia Zhi asked after thinking for a while.

"???"

Several question marks popped up in Irena's head, and her eyes subconsciously showed a hint of panic and alertness when she looked at the boy.

Wait, what do you want to do?

"You are……?"

Fortunately, at this moment, a girl's doubtful voice attracted Xia Zhi's attention, which allowed Irena to overcome the current crisis and breathe a sigh of relief.

She raised her head and wanted to see who the kindhearted person was who helped her out of the predicament, but she was suddenly stunned.

Is that... a rabbit?

Looking at the figure of a girl with long rabbit ears in the bamboo forest not far away, she thought to herself with some uncertainty.

On the other side, Xia Zhi had a thoughtful expression.

A rabbit should be a more suitable gift than a witch, right?

Just as he was thinking this, he saw the rabbit-eared girl's eyes fall on him. Then she was stunned for a moment, as if she had seen something incredible. She slightly widened her eyes and showed a surprised expression.

"Master Xiazhi!?"

"..."

It seems that there is no way to catch this gift.

Xia Zhi thought to himself with some regret.

……

"There are an unusually large number of people coming to the bamboo forest today."

Lingxian thought to herself as she heard the sound of conversation coming from the bamboo forest in the distance and was about to go check out the situation.

Usually there are hardly any people coming here... Is it related to the fact that Mercury retrograde just ended a few days ago?

Then, she suddenly remembered

Come to think of it, Ms. Kato seemed to have said that someone would come to pick her up... Could it be this group of people?

But isn’t this a bit too fast?

With doubts in her heart, Lingxian came to the place where the sound came from, and soon saw the figures of those people.

"You are……?"

Just as she was about to ask about their identities, she suddenly noticed that one of them looked familiar.

That seems to be...

"Master Xiazhi!?"

Just as she called out the name in surprise, the next moment, she clearly saw a flash of disappointment in the boy's eyes.

This familiar scene awakened memories that had been hidden in her heart for a long time. Suddenly, her hair stood on end and her body trembled involuntarily.

……

"that……"

Looking at the rabbit girl hiding behind her and carefully looking at the boy, Irena felt a headache.

Can you stop picking at my coat?

"do you know her?"

Recalling the scene where she had just called out the boy's name, Irena looked at Xia Zhi and asked puzzledly.

"I think... we know each other." Xia Zhi answered uncertainly.

After all, in his opinion, the rabbits on the moon all looked almost the same. If they could put rings of different colors on their ears like domestic pigeons, he should be able to tell them apart.

However, this is not the focus now.

"Did you see a girl with short black hair today? She is slightly shorter than me and looks pretty and cute?"

Following the girl into a courtyard, he looked around and confirmed with the girl.

I saw it. I did see it.

Lingxian nodded subconsciously.

only……

"Aren't you here to see Her Royal Highness the Princess?" she asked timidly with a hint of doubt.

"I'm here to see her too." Xia Zhi replied.

It sounds like he's playing both sides, Irena complained.

Lingxian nodded subconsciously: "Then I will go and call Her Royal Highness the Princess for you..."

etc.

Halfway through her words, Lingxian suddenly realized something.

A thousand years later, the husband chosen by Her Royal Highness the Princess came back for another girl.

Plus……

She looked at the girl in front of her, and then at the two girls beside the boy.

It seems that there are more girls around Lord Xiazhi.

In this case, let alone the surprise after the reunion, it would be great if Her Royal Highness the Princess wasn't angry.

No matter what, Her Royal Highness the Princess is unlikely to vent her anger on Lord Xia Zhi, so as for me who brought her this news...

Under the huge pressure of life and death, Lingxian's mind quickly turned, and she immediately changed her words and said, "Well, I'll take Master Xiazhi with you..."

"Xiazhi classmate?"

Before she could finish her words, a voice from not far away interrupted her.

As if she heard a familiar voice in the courtyard, Kato Hui opened the door and walked out to check the situation. She saw the boy at a glance, and she couldn't help but smile happily and waved to him.

Seeing that the girl was safe and sound, Xia Zhi was relieved. Just as he was about to respond, he saw another girl with long black hair in the room.

"long time no see……"

Following behind Kato Megumi, Kaguya winked at him playfully, opened her mouth slightly, and mouthed silently:

"My dear husband~".

Chapter 547: What should we do after the reunion after a thousand years?

"What would you like to drink?"

"As long as it's not alcohol, anything else is fine."

As for tea, I just don't like to drink it normally, not that I hate it. In some special situations, such as when there is only black tea left, I can make do with it.

Xia Zhi thought this in his heart while looking around the room that belonged to the girl.

How to put it, it was much cleaner and tidier than he had expected, there was no trace of the messy scene when they lived together.

Of course, this could just be an appearance.

Xia Zhi's eyes fell on the closet door not far away which was not completely closed. After hesitating for a moment, he gave up the idea of ​​opening it.

"Here, is this okay?"

The cool bottle gently touched his face, pulling his thoughts back. When he turned around, he met a pair of clear eyes that were close to him, and they blinked at him.

It's a bit too close.

Xia Zhi moved a little further away and saw that what Kaguya was putting on her face was a bottle of iced cola.

...Princess Kaguya, you seem to be in a good mood.

On the other hand, looking at the black-haired girl who seemed to have become much more lively since seeing the boy, and had a smile on her face since just now, and looked in a good mood, Kato Megumi sighed in her heart.

Moreover, even though she was a princess, she was still helpful in getting cushions and passing drinks, which was completely different from the politeness she showed towards herself.

Kato Megumi couldn't help but think.

But... why did Hubie and the others go to the reception room and I was the only one left here?

There was a hint of confusion in her eyes.

(…Come to think of it, is there someone missing?

In another room, Lingxian, who was preparing tea for the people in the reception room, tilted her head slightly and thought confusedly.

"You still have Coke here?"

Xia Zhi felt a little surprised.

He originally thought that even if Kaguya had things from the outside world, they would at most be some game consoles or comic books that could be easily preserved for a long time. He didn't expect that there were even drinks.

"This is what you left behind." Kaguya's words answered his doubts.

So that’s how it is. Has it remained until now?

In that case, this bottle of Coke should also be considered a cultural relic, right?

Xia Zhi thought to himself.

But wait... Even if it has been kept in the refrigerator all along, it has been more than a thousand years. Unless it was frozen like "Ailuko", it should have expired long ago, right?
