I loaded the dream game

Looking at her two swaying snow-white feet, Xia Zhi thought for a moment and gently patted her thigh with a comb.

"ah!?"

Xia Zhi was startled, and her toes curled up unconsciously. She raised her head and looked at the boy with a slightly annoyed look.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't move, or you'll mess it up." Xia Zhi reminded her.

This is not an excuse. It is normal to be distracted when there is a pair of slender, white legs swaying in front of your eyes, right?

If it was in the past, he certainly wouldn't have any strange thoughts, but the situation is different now.

"You're not getting your hair cut...what's wrong with being distracted?" Xia Zhi muttered softly, and glanced at the place on her thigh that had just been tapped. She couldn't help but worry, would it turn red later?

"By the way, where did you find that headband?"

After letting Xia Zhi sit down again, Xia Zhi asked while helping her comb her long black hair with a comb, changing the subject.

"...In the kitchen." Xia Zhi answered softly, and for some reason a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

"?"

Xia Zhi showed a puzzled expression.

"Why did it fall in the kitchen?"

"What do you think?" Xia Zhi blushed and glanced at him unhappily.

……All right.

Xia Zhi then recalled that it seemed that it had indeed happened once in the kitchen. In the end, because he was not paying attention, he accidentally burned the food in the pot.

That was also one of the few times that Xia Zhi burned the food since she learned how to cook.

See, this is the downside of distraction.

"Whose fault do you think it was?" Xia Zhi blushed and muttered softly.

Whose fault is it?

Who is the one who just puts on a coat and a skirt for the sake of convenience and goes out to cook without anything on? It can't be me, can it?

Originally Xia Zhi wanted to say this, but seeing that Xia Zhi was already very shy, he did not stimulate her anymore.

"Come to think of it, brother... I feel like you seem to have become much more skilled?" After calming down a little, Xia Zhi tilted her head slightly, looked at him suspiciously and asked.

If I remember correctly, my brother was quite unfamiliar with combing my hair at first. Even I complained about it when I was a kid.

But now he has suddenly become so skilled...

How many girls have you combed their hair?

"It's not a difficult thing. It should be quick to learn, right?" Xia Zhi replied.

Xia Zhi's hairstyle is relatively simple, and is about the same difficulty as Cong Yu's shawl twintails. If there is a slightly more difficult hairstyle, it would probably be Suwako's double ring knot.

As for Irena's braids, that was even more troublesome... He had only tried it once, and failed in the end, and Irena despised him for a long time.

But even though she disliked it, she didn't untie it that day... She usually cares a lot about her appearance.

Logically, Xia Zhi should be very touched, but when he thought about how when he came back tonight and greeted the girl, she would look confused and react like "Huh? Did you leave?", he couldn't help feeling helpless.

I had said hello to her before I left, but I completely forgot about it. My attention was drawn to the novel exhibits, and I didn't even notice that my boyfriend had disappeared with another girl for an entire afternoon...

If you think about it carefully, it seems to be a setting that is very convenient for the development of the NTR plot...

Xia Zhi thought to himself.

After helping Natsuori comb her hair and staying with Kaguya for a while, they were almost ready to go home.

Originally, Kaguya invited them to stay for another night, but considering that both she and Kato Megumi had only taken one day off and she couldn't cause too much trouble for Madoka, Xia Zhi thought about it and decided to refuse.

Before leaving, Kaguya took the initiative and said that they could pick out some of the items they liked from the exhibits and take them back as souvenirs.

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi subconsciously turned his gaze to her.

"Ah, I'm not an exhibit." Kaguya raised her sleeve to cover her mouth and chuckled.

...Besides, if father wants, there is no need to do it this way.

She blinked at Xia Zhi, and her eyes seemed to reveal this meaning.

Xia Zhi thought about it and it seemed to be true.

As for the exhibits...

He turned his gaze to the purple-haired and rabbit-eared girl on the other side.

"...Huh?" Lingxian was slightly stunned

Wait? She just went up there to perform a little bit of a show, does that count as an exhibit?

She began to panic.

Fortunately, Xia Zhi was just joking...there was no extra room in their house to keep another rabbit.

...You can't take it back and braise it, right?

Lingxian's body trembled slightly, and after swallowing her saliva, she tried to negotiate with a slightly trembling voice:

"Um... can't I release them?"

Summer Solstice:…

Are you really ready to be taken away?

.......

Chapter 829: The Girl's Special Return Gift

In the end, Xia Zhi didn't bring back any special souvenirs...or maybe he already had something to commemorate the memory, so there was no need to take another one.

Similarly, Kato Megumi had the same idea.

Suwako and the others didn't care much about souvenirs. As for Irena, she had her eyes on a red gem called Aize Redstone, but Xiazhi rejected it.

He doesn't want his normal Irena to turn into a zombie Irena.

In this regard, although Irena finally listened to Xia Zhi's words reluctantly, she still felt a little upset on the way back.

"I lost 50 million yen for listening to you. You have to compensate me." said the girl.

Should I be touched that my words carry 50 million yen worth of weight in your heart, or should I complain about your intention to take a taxi early in the morning to sell the souvenirs that people gave me?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

However, Irena still somewhat underestimated the value of the gem... According to the current market price, the gem is worth far more than 50 million yen.

After thinking about it, he didn't tell Irena about this.

It’s not that he was worried that his words wouldn’t carry that much weight in her heart, he was just simply worried that the girl wouldn’t be able to accept and let it go after knowing it.

Although that money didn't originally belong to her...but as compensation, Xia Zhi decided not to mention the debt in front of her in the future, right?

As for any other compensation...it's too late today, let's talk about it later.

Xia Zhi thought about it, sent Suwako and Irena back, and asked Xia Zhi and the others to go home first, and then prepared to send Kato Hui back home.

"It turns out that Miss Irena has moved out of Xia Zhi's house."

With his hands behind his back and his head down, Kato Megumi deliberately stepped on the seams left by the paving, and said with a slightly sighing tone:

"But I chose the house opposite the Summer Solstice on purpose."

That wasn't her choice, it was Victoria's choice... but it's almost the same.

"By the way, why is the last name on the house number 'Xia'?" The girl tilted her head and asked in confusion.

Ah, this...

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and explained, "Hui, you also know that Irena and the others are from another world, right?"

Kato Megumi nodded... She knew about this on the first day Irena came here.

"Because the house purchase documents require a surname, they came from another world and just used my surname for convenience."

Xia Zhi said this, and in some ways, he was not lying. Although the purpose was different, as an orphan, Victoria did not have her own surname. It can be said that the surname from Xia Zhi gave her a complete name for the first time in her known life.

Of course, there is actually a small loophole in what he said... If he made up a surname, he could use anyone's, why did he have to use the rare surname "Xia"?

"Hmm." Kato Megumi hummed softly.

"What does hum hum mean?" Xia Zhi looked puzzled.

"Just for Xia Zhi's sake, I'll believe it for now," the girl replied.

Does that mean you don't believe it?

Xia Zhi thought to himself, looking at the girl following him with still brisk steps, it seemed...she didn't seem to be in a mood affected at all?

He thought for a moment and changed the subject: "By the way, how do you feel about this trip?"

"I'm very happy."

Kato Hui answered, and then her tone was filled with a hint of worry: "But, will Xia Zhi be angry if I monopolize Xia Zhi for an entire afternoon?"

Why was she angry... Well, no, it should be said that she didn't have the energy to be angry at that time, right?

Xia Zhi thought to himself and comforted her, "Xia Zhi won't mind."

"After all, that girl has liked your look since she was a child."

...since childhood?

Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly. The previous Xia Zhi should not have recognized her at all, right?

Soon afterwards, she seemed to remember something.

Oh, Xia Zhi is talking about Xiao Xia Zhi.

That doesn't mean I like her, does it? It's just that compared to Yukino, she doesn't have any hostility towards me.

If you really want to say something you like

"The person sister Xia Zhi has liked since childhood is actually you, Xia Zhi." She said to the boy.

Are those two different kinds of likes?

Xia Zhi thought about it and did not continue the topic. Instead, after a moment of silence, he breathed a sigh of relief and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Hui. Something unexpected happened and I couldn't take you to more interesting places."

The girl had said before that she was looking forward to today's coming...

Kato Hui shook her head slightly, and did not respond to his words, and asked:

"Xiazhi, what do you think is the most important purpose of traveling?"

Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment

As for the purpose...

"See the scenery and... have fun?"

“It’s to leave important memories.”

The girl answered softly and stopped under a street lamp.

Xia Zhi looked up and realized that they had unknowingly arrived not far from Kato Megumi's house.

"Summer Solstice..."

The girl's soft voice called out to him, causing Xia Zhi to turn his head back.

The bright and soft light dispelled the surrounding darkness, isolating a small area that enveloped the two figures.

Under the soft light of the stage-like 403, Kato Megumi raised her head slightly and looked at her, smiling and saying, "Thank you for inviting me. I am really happy today."

She repeated her answer again.

"as well as……"

The girl took a step forward and tiptoed gently.

Xia Zhi felt a scent coming towards him, and the next second he felt a soft touch on his cheek, which made him freeze in his tracks.
