I loaded the dream game

Xia Zhi thought to himself, standing at the door of his room, and said to Hubie outside with a cold face: "Guard the door, anyone who wants to come in will be killed without mercy."

"Yeah..." Hubie nodded slightly and agreed without any questions.

Irena: "..."

It shouldn’t have come to this extent, right?

"Don't worry, Natsuori won't be home for about half an hour, so we'll be done soon."

Xia Zhi closed the door, turned around, took out the game box from the corner, and explained to her.

"Do you only care about Xia Zhi? What about others?" Irena complained.

"Cong Yu and Ai Lu don't fall into the category of 'people' as usually defined." Xia Zhi replied indifferently.

Irena was slightly stunned, as if this was indeed the case?

In other words, he was giving an order that had no practical effect, right?

Irena complained in her heart, took out her magic wand, and skillfully waved it at the opened cardboard box in front of her.

The next moment, as if time was reversed, the only remaining debris in the paper box floated up out of thin air, and re-condensed into a prototype in the flying ashes and smoke that seemed to appear in the void. Not long after, it returned to its original appearance and fell to the ground.

"What a convenient magic." Xia Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

It's so useful for repairing things... Let Hubie analyze it one day and see if he can compile a simple and useful technique similar to Fengze that I can use easily?

Xia Zhi pondered in his mind and set his eyes on the game board on the ground that had returned to its original state.

But now, let's deal with the matter at hand first.

In fact, it is difficult to completely erase the characteristics of anomalies, unless they are invalidated with other targeted characteristics. Otherwise, as long as the concept of the anomaly itself still exists, the characteristics attached to it will not disappear. Even if it is completely burned to ashes, it will be restored as the subject recovers... In some cases, even if the subject does not recover, it can still have the same effect, as long as it does not affect the effectiveness of its judgment conditions.

After all, settings are not something that can be eliminated using normal methods.

"So, now you can tell me what your conditions are?" Before continuing the interrupted game, Xia Zhi turned around and asked the girl.

Irena did not answer immediately after hearing this. Instead, she took a deep breath, raised her head and looked at the boy opposite her, and asked:

"If I remember correctly, tomorrow is the festival called 'Qixi' in your world, right?"

Xia Zhi nodded, feeling somewhat confused. What does this have to do with the Chinese Valentine's Day?

"Then my request is very simple." The girl said, and where Xia Zhi couldn't see, she gently tightened the thin rope in her pocket, feeling a little nervous.

Is my feeling for the boy the result of the influence of that memory, or are they my true feelings?

She wanted to prove it.

So, even if it's just once.

"Only tomorrow, on Valentine's Day, can you...be my lover for one day?"

.......

Chapter 584: Can this kind of thing, such as taking a day off on Chinese Valentine’s Day to date my sister, be explained?

When Xia Zhi returned home, she happened to see Irena walking out of her brother's room with a sigh of relief, as if she had finished something.

She felt something was wrong, but couldn't tell what.

Before she could figure out the answer to this question, she saw Xia Zhi rubbing his temple and walking out of the room with a tired look.

"Ah, is Natsuori back?"

Seeing his sister, Xia Zhi greeted her.

"Brother, what happened to Sister Irena?" Xia Zhi hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Huh? What's wrong with her?" Xia Zhi looked at her puzzledly and asked.

Weren't you fine when you went out just now?

"This..." Xia Zhi hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer. She just felt that something was not right.

"By the way, you don't have to cook for Irena tonight." Xia Zhi's words interrupted her thoughts.

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked: "-Huh? Why?"

"She's had enough."

Xia Zhi answered truthfully and walked past her downstairs.

"...?"

Looking at his receding back, Xia Zhi blinked.

I came out of my brother's room alone, and did something tiring that made me so full that I couldn't eat dinner...

Xia Zhi thought to herself, lowered her head and looked at Hubie beside her and asked, "Do you know what my brother and sister Irena did in there just now?"

Hubie shook his head slightly and answered truthfully: "Xia Zhi said... Anyone who wants to go in will be killed without mercy."

Xia Zhi: ...

That is indeed a very important matter.

"Oh, right." As if remembering something, Xia Zhi turned around and said to her, "You don't have to prepare my lunch box tomorrow."

Xia Zhi was stunned again.

In comparison, this is the most serious thing, right?

"Brother, are you tired of eating Xia Zhi?"

"What are you talking about?" Xia Zhi gave her a strange look and continued, "It's just that I want to take a day off tomorrow and not go to school."

"Ask for leave?" Xia Zhi subconsciously asked, "What for?"

"Dating."

After replying this, Xia Zhi went downstairs without looking back.

“…What?”

Looking at his departing back, Xia Zhi pouted and muttered in dissatisfaction: "I also want to date my brother..."

How about asking for a leave as well? This thought came to her mind.

……

Although I said this to Natsuori, of course I couldn't use the same phrase when I really asked for leave from the teacher.

"You seem to be taking leave frequently lately?" Kirisu Madoka's suspicious voice came from the other end of the line.

Is it often? I only asked for it once two days ago, right? Xia Zhi thought.

"So, what's the reason this time?"

"Uh, this..." Xia Zhi hesitated a little.

Wouldn't it be inappropriate to answer with something like "I have a date with my girlfriend tomorrow"?

Besides, strictly speaking, Irena is not his girlfriend now.

After thinking for a while, Xia Zhi replied in a serious tone: "I'm pregnant."

"..."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone before Kirisu Madoka sighed faintly, "Natsushi-kun..."

"what happened?"

"When it comes to lying, it's not like people will believe you just because you say it seriously."

That is indeed the truth, but...

"Is Teacher Madoka teaching me how to lie?" Xia Zhi asked curiously.

"No." Kirisu Madoka rejected it on the spot.

Of course, Xia Zhi’s leave application was also rejected.

"Xiazhi, I'm so hungry... When can I eat?"

Just when Xia Zhi was about to explain himself, he heard the voice of a girl beside him. He lowered his head and saw that the Star God girl had run to his side without him noticing. She was holding the corner of his clothes with her little hands and looking at him eagerly with her head raised.

Xia Zhi thought about it, then stuffed the phone in his hand into her arms, intending to ask her to help plead for mercy.

"...?"

Ai Lu Ke looked at the phone stuffed into his hand, tilted his head slightly, and looked up at the boy in confusion.

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

Isn't this something edible?

At Xia Zhi's suggestion, she unskillfully picked up the phone and placed it next to her ear, imitating the way the boy answered the phone in the past, and asked in a slightly childish voice:

"Who is that?"

"Is it... Xiao Ailu Ke?" An uncertain voice came from the receiver of the phone.

"Oh, it's Mr. Mafuyu!"

As if he recognized the other person's voice, a look of surprise appeared on Ailuke's face.

But soon, she hesitated again, looked at the boy hesitantly and asked:

"But Xiazhi, Mr. Mafuyu is not something that can be eaten, right?"

"..."

"..."

I'm not looking for food for you, am I?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

"elder brother!"

At this time, Xia Zhi's happy voice came from behind:

"I've already asked for leave, so take me with you on a date tomorrow!"

Summer Solstice:…

He felt that whether to ask for leave or not was not very important anymore. The key point now was how should he explain to his class teacher that he was going on a date with his sister tomorrow on Chinese Valentine's Day?

……Down.

Chapter 585: What should you pay attention to on a first date?

In the end, Xia Zhi still didn't let Xia Zhi come along.

Even though Xia Zhi promised not to disturb them, Xia Zhi did not agree.

After all, this was the first time for Xia Zhi to have a formal date like this, and he was already a little unsure. If he brought his sister along, wouldn't that make things more difficult for himself?

Since she has taken a leave of absence, she can help take care of the children at home.

In response, Xia Zhi expressed strong dissatisfaction and said that she was a younger sister, not a housewife... Despite this, after being comforted by the boy, she finally agreed with a pout.

"Remember to bring me a gift."

Before leaving, Xia Zhi gave him some instructions.

"I got it." Xia Zhi patted her head, said "You don't have to wait for us to come back for lunch", then pushed the door open and walked out.

As soon as he went out, he saw the gray-haired girl waiting boredly outside the door.

Unlike before, Irena seemed to have dressed up specially today. She didn't wear her witch-style outfit anymore, but a pale white dress with a ribbon tied into a pale yellow bow at the collar. The breeze blew the pure white skirt gently, revealing a pair of slender white calves, and a pair of small women's sandals below her delicate white ankles. Although there were not many decorations on the whole, it still had a unique beauty, making the girl look like she walked out of an illustration.

"Have I kept you waiting for a long time?" Xia Zhi walked up to her and asked her with concern.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting. My legs are numb from standing so long." Irena answered with a slightly complaining tone. She couldn't help but bend down slightly and rub her numb calves with both hands.

"At this time, you should say 'No, I just arrived too'." Xia Zhi thought about it and corrected her.

"Huh?" Irena showed a puzzled expression: "What's the point of that kind of answer?"
