"Is this your home?" The girl tilted her head slightly.

"...That's not the case."

She showed an expression that said "as expected" and turned around and walked into the house.

I always feel like she misunderstood something.

Looking at the open door, Xia Zhi hesitated for a moment and followed him into the house.

Walking through the corridor at the entrance, you can see that there is no one inside. No wonder she didn't care about coming back so late before.

"Where are your family members?" Xia Zhi asked puzzledly.

"My dad works in another city... Even though it only takes a few hours by car, it's still too long for a daily commute."

The girl answered as she turned on the light, illuminating the interior of the house with bright light.

"Wait a mininute."

(cdbh) She said, and walked to the room at the side.

"...Do you have any impression of her?" Xia Zhi asked in his heart, looking at the girl's back.

"No."

Tokisaki Kurumi's voice came from the bottom of her heart and answered:

"I am very busy. Apart from matters related to elves and a few heroes, I rarely care about the affairs of ordinary people."

In other words, in the original history, girls were not people worthy of attention, right?

"...But, he is indeed an interesting child." Tokisaki Kurumi said with interest.

When she doesn't have to work hard, she has the leisure time... Or is she too confident in herself?

Xia Zhi shook his head and looked back at the room the girl had just entered.

It seemed to be a living room, and the furnishings inside were similar to those of an ordinary room. If there was anything special about it, it was probably that there was an altar inside, and on it was a photo of a beautiful woman who looked very similar to the girl.

If I'm not mistaken, that should be her mother.

"My mother is from the outside world. She happened to be traveling in this country when the wall was built, and has lived in Shikoku ever since."

As if noticing the boy's curiosity, Lily clasped her hands together, and after worshipping the woman on the altar, she stood up and walked to a closet in the room while explaining, and took out a thick envelope from it.

"…Since the day the disaster struck, she has been worried about her relatives in Shigeki. She missed her hometown and family until her death. She also said that when the world returns to normal and she can go outside the wall…she wants to go back to her hometown…"

That's it

Xia Zhi thought.

It seems that the reason why she is obsessed with the wall and wants to go outside the wall to see the world is partly influenced by her mother.

"Let's go."

Lily returned to Xia Zhi, looked up and said to him.

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned: "Where to go?"

"As a reward for accompanying me to participate in club activities, I'll rent you a house to live in." The girl tilted her head slightly and replied as a matter of course

"You don't want to live in my house?"

...Well, it seems that basic vigilance is still there.

.......

Chapter 1150: Still an Elf Girl

In the early morning, the sun rises slowly, and under the blue sky, the bright sunshine shines on the waking city.

Standing in the corridor at the door, feeling the refreshing morning air, Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

This is probably one of the few times in recent times that he has taken the initiative to get up so early, right?

There's no other way. After all, I've been fishing all night yesterday, and now it's time to get down to business.

"What do you think, Miss Kuang San?" He asked a certain elf girl in his heart.

"Sharpening the knife makes the chopping of wood easier. The preparation work beforehand is a key part of the strategy. Before the mission officially begins, it is also important to find a suitable place to live, right?" The girl gave this answer slowly.

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned

This is really strange, it's totally unlike Kurumi's usual style.

There's nothing wrong with saying this...but why does it sound so much like my own tone?

"Anyway, even if I didn't say so, Mr. Xia Zhi would find a similar excuse for himself, right?" Rather than a question, Tokisaki Kurumi's tone was more like stating what she believed to be the fact.

"It's not good to look at problems with preconceived notions." Xia Zhi said seriously.

"So Mr. Xia Zhi doesn't think so?"

"...That's not the case."

The girl chuckled and said nothing more.

Xia Zhi turned around again and looked at the sky outside the corridor.

Although he was about to get down to business, he still faced the same problem as before... He didn't know where the target was.

"…Do you have any idea?"

Xia Zhi continued to ask, wondering in his heart whether he should go downstairs to buy some breakfast to fill his stomach.

"No."

Tokisaki Kurumi replied: "By the way, that child is quite wary. In addition, she has been attacked by a god before. If you approach her casually, she might resist."

"Her abilities are quite special. Even as a god, you'd better be careful."

"Uh-huh."

Xia Zhi nodded nonchalantly, calculating the distance between the udon restaurant last night and this place in his mind.

He naturally knew about the angel of the sixth spirit, and also understood how special the ability to open and close at will was.

But for him...

"……etc?"

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned when he suddenly realized something...Ability?

According to what Tokisaki Kurumi said before, as well as her own experiences at several singularities, after offering one's own spirit crystal as the core to unfold the four-dimensional space-time barrier, the elves within it should have turned back into ordinary people.

The only two spirits encountered so far that can use their own powers are Tohka and Nanashi, who are also not in the singularity.

Unlike the previous two times, I am undoubtedly in a new singularity at this moment.

If that’s the case, why did Tokisaki Kurumi tell her to be careful of the elf’s abilities?

"This is easy to understand. Just like Amnesty has been able to continuously upgrade and improve the Hero System over the past three hundred years, and eventually developed a system and "full-opening" function that is far stronger than the first generation of Heroes, the version of the four-dimensional barrier is also constantly updated and improved."

In this regard, Tokisaki Kurumi explained

"At that time, our technology was already capable of retaining the original function of the spirit crystal in the spirit body and selecting it as the core to deploy the barrier."

"As a result, the time range that can be covered has also been greatly extended.

"Mmmm, that's amazing."

Xia Zhi praised him insincerely, and thought about it in his heart.

In other words, we still don’t know where the other party is yet, right?

But... this is also good news. If the other party can use spiritual power, then I can directly sense where her spiritual power is, which makes it much more convenient.

As for the current situation, the spiritual power closest to me is...

"Click..."

At this moment, there was a slight sound from the room next to her, and the door of the apartment was slowly opened. A petite girl with red-gold hair and a heavy schoolbag walked out of the door. In one hand she held a half-eaten sandwich and milk hanging in the bag, and with the other hand she pulled up the heavy schoolbag, preparing to close the door first.

Seeing the young man standing at the door, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"What? You're very self-aware." A smug smile appeared on Lily's face.

...Yes, the house where Xia Zhi stayed last night was right next to the first-generation minister.

Although we were going to find him a house to live in, it was already so late at night. Where could we find someone willing to rent a house to him?

Of course it is possible to stay in a hotel temporarily, but the girl herself is a minor, and Xia Zhi has no documents to prove his identity, so he is completely an illegal resident.

Faced with this combination of two people who came to book a room, the hotel certainly could not provide them with room accommodation for the sake of insurance and safety.

Fortunately, Lily seemed to know the manager of this apartment building and helped find an empty apartment for short-term rental.

...Actually, Xia Zhi originally wanted to leave, but the girl was too enthusiastic. She refused to let him leave no matter what he said. She forced him to stay and even put on a show to lower the rent.

·· ···Request flowers· ·······

I have to say that her acting skills are very good. Her pitiful look coupled with her delicate and beautiful face makes anyone who sees her unable to resist. However, this also made the landlord more suspicious, and even the way he looked at Xia Zhi became strange.

By the way, Xia Zhi’s current identity in the landlady’s mind should be “Lily’s useless boyfriend who likes to deceive the feelings of left-behind little girls.”

"Don't you have a social circle of adults?"

Recalling the situation at that time, Xia Zhi couldn't help but complain.

"She is in my father's social circle... Besides, we only have financial dealings, and I don't trust her that much."

Lily took another bite of the sandwich in her hand and said vaguely

You said this as if you trust me very much.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but look at the delicious-looking sandwich in her hand, and wanted to ask her where she bought it.

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

"Of course I did it myself." The girl answered as a matter of course, blinked her eyes, and said excitedly: "Now that we are ready, let's go!"

No, I haven’t had breakfast yet.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I have other things to do today."

"You've gone back on your word! You said last night that you would accompany me to the club activities, and you've already accepted the reward!"

The girl puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

"You are forcing me to buy this, right?" Xia Zhi said.

"Anyway, the deal is done, isn't it?"

Where is the Industrial and Commercial Bureau? Can I file a complaint to you about this?

Xia Zhi complained, and after thinking for a while, he asked curiously: "Come to think of it, why do you have to have others accompany you to participate?"

Can't you go by yourself?

Hearing this, the girl's expression froze for a moment, and her eyes wavered: "Well, that is to say... I think this kind of activity cannot be carried out by one person, so I have been waiting for new members to join..."

"So, before I came, you had never carried out any activities?"

Xia Zhi heard the subtext of her words.

"So what?"

Lily showed an unhappy expression when she was exposed.

She took another bite of the sandwich gloomily, but saw the boy's eyes fall on her hand. Thinking back to what he had just said, she hesitated a little.

“…Do you want to eat?”

The girl hesitated for a moment and handed him the sandwich.

"..."

Thanks, I'm not that hungry.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

……Several.
