I loaded the dream game

"Hmm? My room?"

Xia Zhi returned to the living room and put the desserts and fruits on the tray on the coffee table, while answering nonchalantly:

"It's in the first room over there."

"What about Sister Mio's room?" Nogi Sonoko continued to ask curiously.

"exist……"

Xia Zhi was about to answer, but suddenly got stuck.

By the way, which room is Mio's?

Because the girl had slept with him every night so far, she had basically never used her own room. Even he had forgotten which room he had assigned to her in the beginning.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment, but couldn't remember anything, so he simply threw the question out.

"You can ask Mio directly later."

He said this and returned to the kitchen.

……

"Hmm? My room?"

Soon after, facing the girl's question, Mio tilted her head and thought for a moment.

...In this house, it seems that I have only used one room?

She thought to herself, and naturally stretched out her slender white finger, pointed to a room not far away, and replied: "It's that one."

"..."

Looking at the room the silver-haired girl pointed to, everyone present fell silent.

Um, isn't that the room the boy mentioned before?

...It seemed like he didn't need any encouragement from his former self?

Looking at the girl with long blond hair who was also stunned beside him, Tougou Mimori thought to herself:

.......

Chapter 893: Self-strategy is necessary, as is active strategy. Only then can it be called sound! (Wrong

During dinner, Xia Zhi felt that everyone was looking at him strangely.

Is the food not tasty?

He thought about it, picked up the plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes in front of him and took a bite. The sweet and sour taste quickly spread in his mouth.

No? Isn't this delicious?

Could it be that... they are actually salty people?

Xia Zhi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

On the other hand, Mio was also confused as to why other people reacted so strangely after she told them which room hers was.

So, after dinner, she found the girl named Togo Mimori and expressed her doubts directly.

"This one……"

After hearing her question, Dongxiang, who was being held back, hesitated for a moment and decided to confirm it again.

"Mio, the 'your room' you mentioned earlier, is it the same room as Xiazhi's teacher?"

"Yeah." Mio nodded slightly and admitted it, then asked in confusion: "What's the problem?"

Seeing that she didn't look strange, Dongxiang felt that she seemed to understand something. She took a deep breath and asked a different question:

"Sister Mio, do you like Teacher Xiazhi?"

"I like it." Mio answered without hesitation.

"Then there's no problem." Dongxiang shook his head slightly and said so.

"It's normal for two people who are in love to sleep in the same room."

…Really? Why should I, a middle school student, explain this kind of thing to “adults”?

She blushed and thought, but seeing the girl still had a hint of doubt on her face, she continued to explain.

"Rather, if you want to make the relationship better, this is a very crucial and necessary step."

After hearing her answer, Mio put her hand on her chin and showed a thoughtful expression.

"…You mean, that's something that can only be done during mating?"

"Ahem...!"

The girl's direct words made Dongxiang's face turn red and he couldn't help coughing twice.

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing..."

She carefully glanced in Yuna's direction, and after seeing that no one else noticed the situation here, she took a deep breath and continued to answer stutteringly.

"It doesn't necessarily mean they will mate... Rather, only boys and girls who like each other will sleep in the same bed like that."

If we exclude special relationships like family members,

Mutual...favor...

As Mio listened, her eyes suddenly widened and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

"…Mio-sister." Togo showed a puzzled expression.

"Yeah, nothing."

Mio shook her head slightly, feeling her face getting hot, and couldn't help but cupping her blushing cheeks with her hands.

Love... that's what it means...

"Language is really incredible... I should know what it means, but after applying it to myself and Xia Zhi, I suddenly feel so strange..."

So that's how it is, Xia Zhi has a crush on me...

The girl put down her hands and showed a beautiful smile on her face

"Well, I'm happy."

"..."

When Dongxiang saw this scene, he only felt that the girl in front of him was so cute. Are all girls in love so cute?

"…Mio-sister."

"What's wrong?" Mio looked at her puzzledly.

Dong Xiang took a deep breath, looked into the girl's eyes and said seriously:

"Please marry Teacher Xia Zhi as soon as possible?"

"...?"

marry……

The definition of marriage emerged in Mio's mind.

...generally refers to the civil legal act by which spouses establish a spousal relationship in accordance with the conditions and procedures prescribed by law, and assume the rights, obligations and other responsibilities arising therefrom

However, as Xia Zhi said before, after what happened just now, she also experienced it personally, the meaning of some words is not as simple as the superficial interpretation.

The only thing that is certain is that marriage is a higher level of relationship than dating.

and so……

"Please tell me the meaning of marriage." She stared into the black-haired girl's eyes and asked seriously.

……

Not knowing that the girl on the other side was already considering getting married, Xia Zhi was busy with other things at the moment.

Seeing that there was still time after dinner, and finally having this opportunity for everyone to get together after school, the girls began an impromptu rehearsal after roughly finalizing the first version of the script.

"I finally see you, Demon King! Please stop acting recklessly!"

"Can a demon king who doesn't act recklessly still be called a demon king?"

"But your behavior has caused trouble to the villagers. Please stop now and don't continue to do bad things!"

"They are the ones who did the bad things! The reduction in wheat production is what they deserve, because I am a rice pie!"

Summer Solstice:…

Who wrote this script?

He turned around and looked at the girl with long light golden hair beside him.

Nogi Sonoko stuck out her tongue and secretly hid the script in her hand behind her back, with an innocent light flashing in her eyes.

"..."

Never mind. It’s just a first version to get a feel for it. I’ll revise it later, right?

Xia Zhi sighed helplessly and turned his attention back to his hands.

Now, he is doing traditional crafts...the serious kind.

There are no puppets on Xiazhi's side, and the girls are now using only improvised props for rehearsal. Since it is not a formal performance, they do not need to be so exquisite, and it does not take much time to make them on the spot.

But when the performance comes, a complete puppet will still be needed, right?

Just in time, with the help of the universal housekeeping bracelet, Xia Zhi found some pieces of cloth and helped his students make performance props.

...I never thought I would be so clever one day.

Looking at the cute puppet created by his hands, Xia Zhi nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that its craftsmanship is still a little bit inferior to Alice's, but after all, it was made temporarily, so it is perfect, right?

"so cute!"

I heard the girl's voice of praise.

Right? Xia Zhi thought to himself proudly.

"But...it looks a bit like me?" Nogi Sonoko tilted her head and asked with a little confusion.

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi came to his senses and looked at the cute doll in his hand, and found that it was indeed somewhat similar to the girl next to him.

...How should I put it? This is quite normal. Craftsmanship is not something that can create ideal works just by having a certain skill level. In addition to skills, the most important thing is the accumulation of materials in daily life.

It's just like an ancient painter would never be able to draw a modern skyscraper.

Hair, wrists, waist, skin, proportions of various body parts, clothing combinations...

If you don’t have the corresponding specific materials accumulated in your mind, you will never be able to create the ideal work you imagine.

So, Xia Zhi, who had never made a doll before, subconsciously used Nogi Sonoko, who was closest to him, as a model.

However, the girl didn't seem to care...or rather, she looked quite happy?

"¨々What role does she play in the play?" Nogi Sonoko poked the doll's cheek gently and asked curiously.

"...The Demon King." Xia Zhi replied.

"So handsome!" The girl's eyes lit up.

He seems to really like being a villain.

"I'm just kidding. This is just a trial piece to get familiar with the feel."

Xia Zhi said, handing her the doll in his hand: "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"Really?" The girl showed a surprised expression on her face. She stretched out her hands to take it with a happy smile on her face. Judging from her reaction of not wanting to let it go, she must really like it.

But even though I like it...

"…Prototypes are usually synonymous with failures, right?" she asked, tilting her head.

"It's Unit-01." Xia Zhi thought about it and changed his words.

is it?
