I loaded the dream game

Kotori nodded shyly, lowered her head and blushed as she responded softly.

"Please, please take care of me..."

……pill.

Chapter 1326: Confession of "Sister"

Generally speaking, according to previous experience, after he has completely opened his heart to me and has a clear idea of ​​handing over the spirit crystals to him, when he has successfully collected the spirit crystals, it is equivalent to announcing the end of the game for the elves.

Just as you will return to the real world after completing all the main quests after the game ends, the dream game will send the elves who are also "players" back to their original world.

However, this time, Kotori was stranded in this world.

Did the dream game temporarily change the relevant settings according to the current situation, or was it affected by the unknown anomaly?

The summer solstice is not certain, so...

"Try again?" He tilted his head slightly.

"No."

Kotori refused decisively.

At this moment, she has changed the headband back to its original style. In her words, she is now in sister mode, and it is impossible for her to confess to her brother.

It's not like he has a split personality, why is he so separated? Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

Besides, who said my sister couldn’t possibly... ahem, nothing.

He suddenly remembered that what Kotori had before was Natsuori's memory of herself from a year ago... Natsuori hadn't expressed her feelings to him at that time.

Ok.

"Then I'll go find someone else." Xia Zhi said, and prepared to stand up.

"Can't!"

Upon hearing that, Kotori quickly grabbed his sleeve and glared at him angrily, with an adorable look on her face as if to say, "How dare you try finding another woman now?"

Why are you so anxious?

"You left the girl who just confessed to you and turned around to confess to another girl. Are you a scumbag?" Kotori asked him with contempt.

"Aren't you in sister mode now?" Xia Zhi asked.

"Even if that's the case, can we just pretend that my confession to you just now never happened?"

Who was the person who just cut off ties with "himself"? Xia Zhi thought.

As the girl was shy, he did not say this.

However, Xia Zhi simply distilled the central meaning of the girl's words.

"You mean...you want me to accompany you?"

The girl's cheeks immediately turned red, her eyes turned to the side, and she whispered:

"I didn't say that..."

How should I put it? Although she is still as tsundere as ever, she doesn't look arrogant at all from the girl's appearance now, only coquettishness remains.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but hug her tightly in his arms and knead her fair and tender face with his hands.

Kotori shook her head in dissatisfaction, but had no intention of running away. She just leaned in his arms, listening to the breathing above her head, feeling herself surrounded by his scent and warmth, and closed her eyes gently with peace of mind.

Xia Zhi gently stroked her hair and looked down at the back of his hand.

At the fifth node of the engraving, a faint light was flashing rhythmically, as if corresponding to the breathing of the girl in his arms.

"elder brother……"

The girl's soft whisper came from her arms.

"Hmm?" Xia Zhi retracted his gaze and looked at her.

"Did I do something too excessive back then?" Kotori asked in a low voice, hugging the shark pillow in her arms slightly.

Xia Zhi knew that she was probably referring to the first time he really met her. The out-of-control fire burned the entire block.

But

"Don't worry."

Xia Zhi comforted her, "Now I will share the responsibility with you."

Qin Li's eyes also fell on the back of his hand. .........

She could clearly feel that a part of herself was now closely connected with the boy... This was an experience she had never had before, and this close connection that seemed to go deep into the essence of existence made her feel very safe.

The spirit crystal is the core of a spirit, or the essence of a spirit. So, now that I have completely entrusted the spirit crystal to him, does it also mean that I completely belong to him?

Thinking of this, Kotori's cheeks turned red again.

"Besides, that kind of thing will never happen again." Xia Zhi continued, as if he didn't notice her little thoughts.

"Just like you changed my past?" Kotori tilted her head slightly.

"If you don't like it, you can think of it as a dream." Xia Zhi said.

"Do not……"

The girl shook her head slightly

"I'm happy that my brother can be a part of my past."

Reality and illusion are relative. If we regard everything that happened before as a false dream, then the changes that the boy made to her past and the salvation that belonged to her will no longer be real.

She didn't want to, and didn't hope that this redemption would lose its meaning.

Moreover, it was not just the fact of being saved by him... It was a very lucky thing to be able to let the person I loved participate in my life, especially to let the fate that had nothing to do with each other before "knowing" him become entangled with him.

"so……"

She raised her head and stared into the boy's eyes, and said seriously:

"…Please continue to interfere with my life."

This is different from her earlier self, this is her confession as a younger sister to the boy...

.......

Chapter 1327: The morning at Xiazhi's house is a little lively

In the early morning, the sun shines gently through the thin curtains into the house, gently touching every inch of space. In the morning light, tiny particles dance in the sun, emitting a faint golden glow. The soft light shines through the gaps in the curtains and gently sprinkles on the quilt, bringing a peaceful and warm atmosphere.

In this warm sunshine, everything in the room is bathed in golden light, just like the morning sky outside the window, peaceful and clear.

The next moment, a familiar ringtone rang, breaking the silence.

The figure on the bed trembled his eyelashes slightly and slowly opened his eyes.

"..."

Let’s skip class.

Not long after opening his eyes and looking at the empty ceiling, this was the first thought that came to Xia Zhi's mind.

Unfortunately, when he gradually came to his senses from waking up, he realized that this was unlikely... After all, he couldn't skip classes just because he wanted to stay in bed.

He doesn't care, as he has already attended all the classes this school year, but he has children at home and he can't set a bad example.

This is the helplessness of the head of the family. Xia Zhi sighed in his heart.

You better get up first.

Just as he was thinking this and yawned to get up from the bed, he felt a heavy feeling in his chest, as if something heavy was pressing on it, with a hint of warmth and softness.

Is it Ju Ya?

Thinking back to the AI ​​girl who fell asleep beside him last night, Xia Zhi thought so as a matter of course. However, when he lifted the quilt and saw the short-haired girl lying on top of him, he fell silent.

It's not that I'm surprised that she showed up, but...

"Good morning?" Origami tilted her head slightly.

"Good morning……"

Xia Zhi responded subconsciously, and couldn't help looking at her, but immediately moved away.

No, why are you just wearing a shirt?

...Wait, why does this shirt look familiar?

"It's Xia Zhi's shirt." Origami replied seriously.

Thank you so much for your frank and sincere answer. Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

"Brother, are you up?"

Just then, accompanied by the sound of "Knock knock knock" on the door, Qin Li's familiar voice came from outside the door.

this……

Looking at the naked silver-haired girl lying on top of him, Xia Zhi answered subconsciously:

"No."

However, his response seemed to accidentally backfire.

"Really? We're almost late, brother, why haven't you…"

Kotori complained as she opened the door and walked in.

However, the next moment, she was stunned when she saw the scene in the room. She looked at the boy on the bed and the short-haired girl, and blinked blankly.

If you don’t understand, just ask, what should you do if your sister catches you in bed?

It would be easy to explain if it was under normal circumstances, but after I finished talking to Ju Ya and fell asleep last night, I didn’t have time to clean up…

Xia Zhi hesitated for a moment, looked down at his current state, looked at the girl at the door and politely asked, "Can you please go out first?"

"Well, don't disturb Xia Zhi and I's world of two." Origami in his arms nodded in agreement.

"..."

Qin Li pulled the corner of her mouth and clenched her fists involuntarily.

"You, get off your brother!"

……

It has been nearly a month since the last conversation with Kotori. Similar daily routines happen almost every once in a while, if not every day, Xia Zhi has almost gotten used to it.

It’s just that the timing of Origami’s visit today was a little unfortunate... or maybe it was too much of a coincidence?

Xia Zhi thought as he walked to school and couldn't help but yawn again.

"Xiazhi, did you not sleep well last night?" Rinne, who was following beside, asked with concern.

"That's about right..." Xia Zhi answered vaguely and glanced at the two girls following on both sides of him.

Origami had changed back into her original school uniform, and followed him closely with her schoolbag in both hands, ignoring the piercing gaze from Kotori, acting as if nothing had happened in the morning.

This made Qin Li even angrier.

She gets along well with everyone except Origami.

"Both of you are very energetic." Rinne said with a faint smile, as if she couldn't tell at all from the disharmonious atmosphere between the two.

You sound like their elder.

But actually, you are not much older than them...if you just look at your appearance age.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

"No, I want to go to college!"

I don't know what she was thinking of, but Kotori suddenly said this.

Summer Solstice: “?”

How did you come up with this idea?

"Who knows what she will do to you, brother, at school while I'm away?" Kotori said, looking at Origami with a wary look on her face.
