I loaded the dream game

As Xiao Yuanzi spoke, his eyes looked into the distance and fell on the figure sitting far away in the seat in front of the crepe shop.

See, even she noticed it.

Of course, this was also because she knew early on that she would definitely stay close to her when she grew up.

Xia Zhi complained in her heart and also looked towards the garden... Maybe it was because she saw a friend she hadn't seen for a long time, she also waved happily in the distance.

…I was so happy that I forgot to hide it.

Fortunately, Xiaojiu and Yin were still surprised at the time and did not notice the interaction between the two gardeners.

"Are you guys here for lunch too?"

Turning his gaze back, Xia Zhi invited Xiao Yuanzi to dinner in order to help him complete the identity of "brother-in-law".

"Is this really okay..." Xiao Jiu seemed a little hesitant. Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to let someone you met for the first time pay for the meal?

"It's okay. You are very good friends of Sonoko, right?"

Xia Zhi glanced at the light-blonde girl beside him, smiled and said meaningfully:

"I'll ask you to take good care of the garden from now on."

"Well, I don't have any either..." Yin scratched his cheek embarrassedly.

Sonoko's personality is a bit annoying, sometimes she's too lively, sometimes she seems to fall asleep in any situation, but it can't be said that she's caring...

To be honest, she was probably taken care of more.

However, it can be recognized by the "family members"

I feel like I've been entrusted with something.

Xiaojiu blushed and agreed embarrassedly.

"Great!" Xiao Yuanzi smiled happily.

As the eldest daughter of the Nogi family, she couldn't be so happy just because she could get a free meal. She was probably just happy that her friend got along well with the "brother-in-law" she just met.

Xia Zhi brought them back to Tokisaki Kurumi

Looking at Xia Zhi who hadn't come back for a long time and was followed by three little girls when she came back, Tokisaki Kurumi tilted her head slightly:

"Mr. Xia Zhi, since you failed to make an axolotl, did you choose new ingredients?"

Could you please stop saying such horrible things so naturally?

"Woooa ...

Yin complained quietly to the black-haired girl next to him, but he saw the girl's eyes fell on him and his body subconsciously trembled.

Could it be that she heard it? At such a distance?

...It's probably just a coincidence, but it's not nice to talk about people behind their backs.

Just as Xiaojiu was about to say this, he suddenly realized something.

By the way, if they hadn't come, Xiaoyuan's brother-in-law and this girl would have been planning to have lunch alone, right?

So, they are dating?

And Xiaoyuan just said that the boy is her brother-in-law

Could it be that……

"Um...are you Xiaoyuan's sister?" After hesitating for a moment, she tried to ask.

Ugh, screwed.

Xia Zhi saw this meaning from Xiao Yuanzi's face.

In fact, it's not entirely her fault. She just thought that it was okay for Tokisaki Kurumi to see Sonoko, but he had somewhat forgotten that he was dating a girl.

Even if I help cover up, it will be difficult for Kuang San to cooperate, right? Even if she doesn't need to cooperate, as long as she shows doubts about Koji's statement, it will be easy to see through her and confirm that she is not Sonoko's sister.

In this way, either Xiao Yuanzi's claim about her "brother-in-law" was exposed, or he was proven to be cheating on her and having an affair with a girl other than Xiao Yuanzi's "sister".

Which is more important, your own reputation or Sonoko's reputation?

...There's no need to choose, after all, I don't have much reputation to begin with.

Xia Zhi sighed slightly in his heart, and just when he was about to speak, something unexpected happened.

Tokisaki Kurumi looked at Xiao Yuanzi thoughtfully, smiled and nodded

"right."

……

To be honest, Xia Zhi really didn't expect Tokisaki Kurumi to help, and she acknowledged Sonoko's identity as "sister" under such unclear circumstances.

Koji also seemed to be in a good mood, or maybe because he finally met Sonoko's family, he stuck to Tokisaki Kurumi and asked about Sonoko's situation.

"Sume, you seem to be concerned about Sonoko's situation..."

Yin held the milk tea that Xiazhi bought for them and sighed as she looked at the scene over there.

She turned around and looked at the black-haired boy who came to her side: "Sorry, she may be a little too enthusiastic."

Rather than being enthusiastic, I am more skeptical.

After all, judging from appearance alone, Kurumi doesn't look like Sister Sonoko at all.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate for Ruoye to play such a role.

However, it seems that Kurumi is coping well, so there is no need to worry.

Xia Zhi thought about it, looked at the gray-haired girl beside him, thought for a moment, then changed the subject and asked:

". You are their good friend, right?"

"Ah? Um..." Yin was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Well, I'll give this to you as a gift for our first meeting."

Xia Zhi handed her something.

Is this... a ribbon?

Yin looked curiously at the headband the boy handed to him.

It looks similar to the one on Yuanzi's head, are they the same style?

"I don't suit this style of headband." She shook her head

Compared to the cute and lively Sonoko, I am a little boyish. It will definitely look weird if I wear it, right?

"Really? I (Qian Li Zhao) think you are cute too." Xia Zhi tilted his head slightly.

Perhaps because she rarely heard someone say that, the girl's cheeks turned red and she stammered for a long time without being able to utter a word.

In fact, it doesn’t have to be used as a headband. It can also be tied on the wrist or somewhere else. After all, it is just a decorative accessory.

After helping the girl tie the ribbon around her wrist, Xia Zhi rubbed her hair out of habit and said:

“Cherish this time.”

"..."

Taking his eyes away from the ribbon on his wrist, Yin tilted his head slightly and said:

"My brother speaks like an older adult."

You are really rude.

Xia Zhi thought unhappily.

The girl took a deep breath, shifted her gaze to the two girls not far away, tightened her wrists slightly, nodded slightly and said:

"...Well, I will cherish them."

.......

Chapter 1364: The girl who observes secretly is also good at sneaking away?

After saying goodbye to Kozonoko and the others, Xia Zhi and Tokisaki Kurumi continued their date.

“They are all very energetic children.”

Recalling the time they had just spent together, the girl sighed.

"Really? You just wanted to use them as ingredients." Xia Zhi reminded her.

"Ah, guys who are too picky won't be liked by girls."

Tokisaki Kurumi narrowed her eyes slightly and asked with a smile: "Besides, Mr. Xiazhi wouldn't believe everything a girl says, right?"

"I am willing to believe whatever Miss Kuang San says."

Summer solstice means

"On the contrary, I don't believe a single word Mr. Xia Zhi says now."

The girl replied bluntly.

Could you please not express it so bluntly?

I was a little shocked.

Xia Zhi complained in her heart but didn't say anything else. The two of them tacitly didn't mention why she admitted her identity as "Sister Yuanzi".

In the following time, they tried some other snacks around, and also went to the sales area to buy some small accessories and game discs - Xia Zhi bought them mainly - and then went to the pet shop upstairs, where they spent a lot of time, until their behavior of not buying anything caused dissatisfaction among the store manager.

After finally pulling the girl away, they came to the video game store in the mall.

Although it was just a small arcade in a shopping mall, it had all the facilities. After playing all the games in the store, I also grabbed a lot of dolls. However, since I didn't need so many, I only left a plump cat doll for the girl and returned the others to the store manager. I accidentally got the qualification to jump the queue to play in the most popular shooting area.

Xia Zhi originally wanted to show off his basic gun shooting skills, but he found that the girl was more skilled than him.

...Oh, I almost forgot that she also plays with guns.

In terms of professionalism, it is much more professional than a mage like myself who just started to learn mage profession halfway.

Just when Xia Zhi was hesitating whether to switch the mode to "Mastery of All Martial Arts", the game had already been completed.

Although it is a cooperative game, from a competitive perspective, Xia Zhi, who has a lower score, is obviously the loser, right?

"Mr. Xia Zhi, who said he wanted to save the world, is nothing more than this." Putting it down with a lingering feeling, Tokisaki Kurumi said with a provocative smile.

"I let you do that."

Xia Zhi said unyieldingly.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to take into account Mr. Xia Zhi's dignity as a man."

The girl deliberately covered her mouth with her hand, pretending to have just remembered something, and blinked her eyes: "How about we do it again?"

Since she said so, even if I win next time, it will make people feel like she is taking care of me on purpose, right?

Moreover, the game coins were almost exhausted. Considering that they had originally queued up to experience the game, although somewhat unwillingly, Xia Zhi still regretfully withdrew and gave his seat to others.

As the ultimate "winner", the girl had a satisfied smile on her face and continued to experience other games with Xia Zhi.

Compared to the time elf in her memory, she is now just an ordinary high school girl.

If she hadn't turned into an elf, would she have been living this kind of life?

Looking at the back of the girl who was concentrating on the picture in the cabinet, Xia Zhi quietly left. When he came to the counter to exchange game coins, a white and tender little hand reached out from the side and handed a basket to him.

"Give."

Xia Zhi took a look at the small basket handed to him by the girl. It was full of game coins. She had helped to exchange them in advance.

"Team Nogi Sonoko will provide Brother Xia Zhi with all the off-field assistance he needs!"

Yuanzi saluted seriously and winked at him playfully.

"Want to come together?"

After patting her head as a thank you, Xia Zhi invited her again

"I don't need it."

Yuanzi shook her head slightly and turned to look outside the arcade.

"Compared to this... Natsuchi-nii gave my headband to Sanzhi-san."
