I loaded the dream game

"Oh……"

Tohka took it and held the blanket in her arms.

"…It's for you to cover your feet."

"?"

The girl tilted her head: "Xiazhi, don't you want to see it?"

A question mark popped up in Xia Zhi’s head.

When did I ever say that?

"Because, I have never been allowed to put on shoes, right?" asked the girl.

"..."

Who taught you this way of over-interpreting thinking?

Facing the girl's doubtful gaze, Xia Zhi sighed helplessly.

"Yeah, now I've seen enough."

He said this perfunctorily, and went forward to help the girl cover the blanket...

Compared to Mio, Tohka is more troublesome.

After all, she is much slower than Mio in learning common sense.

Xia Zhi thought to himself.

...By the way, can elves catch colds?

In terms of body structure, it is similar to humans, but Mio seems to have never caught a cold.

On the other side, Tohka held a steaming cup of milk coffee and let the boy manipulate her body. She stuffed her little feet into the blanket and said nothing. She just watched his movements quietly with a slight flicker in her eyes.

After settling the elf girl, Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, it’s time to start preparing dinner.

He had a headache.

Unlike Natsuori who treats cooking as a hobby, he is the type who would rather order takeout than cook.

But in this place, there is no way to order takeout

...How about going for a free meal?

He thought so in his mind.

But, regardless of whether it tastes good or not, what should I do if Tohka is not full?

She's only been born a few days ago and is still growing. We can't let her starve.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but fall into deep thought

"Tohka is right. You're becoming more and more like a mother to me."

Seeing the boy's series of thoughtful actions just now, Tokisaki Kurumi exclaimed like this.

"At least you can say that he's a very boyfriend-like person, right?" Xia Zhi complained after coming back to his senses.

"Ah, do you admit that you are working towards being your boyfriend?"

Xia Zhi did not deny this.

...After all, some things can be seen no matter what, right?

Facing the boy's silence, Tokisaki Kurumi's voice took on a hint of meaning.

"...It seems that you, Mr. Xia Zhi, have also discovered it."

After a deliberate pause, she continued:

"That child has already opened his heart to you from the very beginning."

.......

Chapter 977 It’s time for you to experience the darkness of the adult world (wrong

Of course, Xia Zhi also felt the girl's unusual affection for him from the very beginning.

Maybe it has something to do with the power I used at the beginning.

Apart from the girl's own ignorance and naivety...it's normal for a girl who has never felt tenderness and warmth since she was born and has always been surrounded by the malice of the "world" to suddenly feel a "familiar" breath as if from her mother and subconsciously want to rely on her, right?

"I think there's more to it than that."

Tokisaki Kurumi said this

"Look, doesn't this happen a lot in the animal world? They develop a liking for something they see for the first time. I think it's called...imprinting behavior?"

Do you think she's a baby bird or a baby mouse? Xia Zhi couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Besides, I wasn't the first person she saw."

If I have to say, Mio is the one who fits the definition of this concept more closely.

"But didn't she say it herself? You are the first person who brought her to witness all this beauty."

Tokisaki Kurumi continued

"The ignorant girl has never experienced what beauty is. Facing you who has brought her to experience all of this, it is only natural for her to equate you with beauty, right?"

It’s not that it doesn’t make sense, but why does Xia Zhi always feel that there is something else behind her words?

He shook his head and set his sights on the black-haired girl holding a coffee cup opposite him.

At the same time he looked over, the girl's stomach made a "gurgling" sound, as if reminding him.

...Sure enough, let's worry about dinner first, right?

Xia Zhi thought about it and asked her:

"What do you want to eat?"

"Can I have a whole lamb feast?"

Given the situation here, where can I prepare a whole lamb feast for you?

"Eating mutton and milk together is not good for your health... How about I make beef noodles for you?" Xia Zhi suggested after thinking about it.

"Oh..." Tohka nodded.

She didn't quite understand these things, but it was right to listen to Xia Zhi.

Besides, beef noodles are delicious, right?

"Xia Zhi, have you always been so considerate?" After thinking about it, the girl asked curiously.

"It's not always like this," Xia Zhi replied.

If conditions permit, he is generally too lazy to cook for himself, let alone take care of others.

Similar examples include Natsuori and Mio, or Kaguya and Lilia... After they were able to take care of themselves, he generally cooked less often.

Rather, in most cases, they end up taking care of themselves.

This is probably also a way of teaching the apprentice and feeding the master to some extent, right?

Unfortunately, just like Eluko, this situation probably won’t happen to Tohka.

"It feels like you're thinking about something bad."

Noticing his glance in her direction, Tohka puffed up her cheeks slightly and asked suspiciously.

“…That’s not the case.”

Xia Zhi turned his eyes away.

Even Tohka could see the guilt behind his words.

"What happened to the agreement that friends should be honest with each other?" she asked doubtfully.

"That was a lie."

Xia Zhi thought about it and then said

"By the way, the thing you just said about mutton and milk not being able to be eaten together is also made up."

You actually lied to me?

Tohka couldn't help but open her eyes wide.

She obviously believed it.

"While showing you the beauty of this world, I will also let you see the darkness of the adult world."

Xia Zhi walked up to her, tapped her forehead lightly, and said with a smile:

"So, you must be careful in the future. Don't trust someone unconditionally just because he is nice to you... Be careful not to be deceived by a bad person like me."

"It's too much..."

After hearing what he said before, Tohka covered her forehead and pouted, with a hint of grievance in her eyes.

I clearly believe in Xia Zhi.

However, after hearing the second half of the boy's words, she no longer cared about being wronged and immediately retorted:

"Xiazhi is not a bad guy!"

"Even if I lied to you?"

"Cheating... cheating doesn't mean you are a bad person!"

Obviously, Xia Zhi had never taught her this, but the girl relied on the "theorem" that "Xia Zhi would never be a bad person" to deduce this conclusion.

I don't know whether to say she is smart or has amazing intuition.

Although this conclusion was based on her own opinion, at least she believed it.

and……

"If it's the summer solstice, I'd be willing to be cheated!"

"..."

If you do this, you will be sold by someone and have to help him count money and prepare sacks.

Xia Zhi sighed helplessly and rubbed her hair

Feeling the warm touch on her head, the girl was silent for a moment, then asked:

"…Summer Solstice."

"Ok?"

"So, those things you said about the future are also false?"

"Those 607 are real," Xia Zhi replied.
