Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

"I've been through so much, it would be strange if I were still as innocent as a child." Facing Chihaya Aine's doubts, Nagasaki Suyo responded coldly.

Touching the back of her head, Chihaya Aine didn't know whether she should complain about herself for causing Su Shi to use her full set of skills with just a simple attack, or feel ashamed of herself for behaving like a senior who had never thought about life after graduation.

Memories of Ling Mengqi and the three illicit liquor incidents flooded back to her, and she decided to skip this topic that was obviously disadvantageous to her.

65. What words make sacrifice sweet?

Memory (VIII) The nature of the device is undoubtedly complex.

Some people can clearly remember an unpleasant incident in their childhood decades later, while others will use their mobile phones to call their family members and ask where their phones are.

As the cold liquid poured into Gao Songdeng's body, she seemed to fall into a deep ocean, or to escape gravity and fly into the boundless sky.

In that cobalt blue vision, intangible and abstract memories transformed into cards that fell on the table in front of her.

Where did the table come from? How did the cards appear? Takamatsu didn't know the answers to these questions.

Although no one had ever told her, she knew what to do next.

She knew that she only needed a thought to see Ritsu Narushe's memories. From that vast ocean of memories, she had only one chance to select the memories she longed for.

Letting his emotions control himself, Gao Songdeng, who was not bound by confusion, reached out and opened a card on the table.

There were no fixed keywords to summarize the memories she longed to see. When she turned over the card, she saw Chihaya Aine's making friends with distant people and attacking those nearby, Nagasaki Suyo's deception, and Shiina Tatsuki's secret attack.

After that blushing scene ended, she saw the laughter and sorrow of Ritsu Narose and Touma Takamatsu as they spent the rest of their lives together in the story, and she personally experienced the regret that everything in the world is impermanent.

The memory continues to regress, and in the memory, Takamatsu Deng, who exists as a phantom third person, clearly saw the "accidental discharge incident" that occurred in the Naruse Ritsu family.

When the impactful images appeared before her eyes at 4K resolution, her computer naturally froze. She wanted to cover her face with her hands, but in this all-around cockpit-like environment, even closing her eyes was useless.

Takamatsu Deng, [Physiology] EXP increased!

Her body's protective mechanisms triggered, and the intense emotional impact pulled her out of this vortex of memories. As the tide receded, the silent blue ocean shrank to two clear sapphires.

Immersed in the eyes of Ritsu Narose, Deng Takamatsu couldn't help but reach out and grab the corner of his clothes.

When she recalled the memories she had seen, she didn't think of herself falling behind, but rather——

"Will we be together forever?"

Looking at the girl who was feeling uneasy, Ritsu Narose seemed to read something from her slightly trembling body.

Gently holding the lamp in his hand, he didn't elaborate on his answer with extra words, but simply responded: "Yes, of course."

"Then..." Feeling the warmth enveloping him, Takamatsu Deng raised his head, "Will Ritsu do the same thing with me as he did with Aine?"

"……What's up?"

Looking up, he saw Takamatsu's cheeks flushed red, and Narushe Ritsu's heart was instantly in suspense. And when he heard Takamatsu's next answer, he felt like his heart was like Cromwell, who would be dug out and hanged on the gallows after his death.

Ritsu Naruse never expected that the things that she and Chihaya Aine had tried so hard to hide would be exposed at this time.

Why did Deng see that memory? Shouldn't she have seen memories of fighting techniques or something like that?

Ritsu Narose, who has not yet fully understood the effects of the [Liquid Memory] potion, does not know the true effects of this potion. However, even if he knew it now, he would not be able to change the current situation.

Seeing that Naruse Ritsu was frozen in place by his words, Takamatsu clutched the corner of his clothes nervously and asked in a low voice, "Is it because I don't suit Ritsu's taste?"

"No, no, no, of course I like lights, but——"

"It's just..." Looking away awkwardly, Naruse Ritsu finally chose to confess the truth, "I don't have much confidence in my self-control."

Generally speaking, humans maintain a high desire to reproduce for more than 360 days a year. Although he is an ancient dragon, he is no different from ordinary people in this regard.

You can easily find a lot of related content on the Internet, not to mention that Ritsu Narose himself often plays the role of an unsung hero on the Internet, preaching and answering questions for those who are desperately trying to find their license plate numbers.

But the truth is always that "knowledge gained from books is shallow, and one must practice to truly understand" - "seeing" and "doing" are always two different things.

As the saying goes, "once you taste the marrow, you know the taste", and he can clearly feel the changes in his body, so having had this experience once, Ritsu Narose does not dare to guarantee that he can suppress the rebellion in the House of Commons every time.

The moral bottom line is invisible until you cross it, but becomes visible after you cross it. Many things we take for granted only become clearly felt until we lose them.

The situation of the Three Emperors' Battle in the open was already stretching him a bit, not to mention that there was a certain Assassin hidden in the dark, ready to strike, staring at him from some corner.

Friends are no longer friends, home is no longer home... Once he crosses a certain line, the already precarious balance will inevitably usher in a drastic change. And then, no matter what he thinks, he will have to deal with the mess caused by the House of Commons being out of control.

"..."

However, Takamatsu Deng, who didn't realize how much he had thought about in an instant, was stunned for a few seconds before realizing the deep meaning of his words.

Two blushes like sunset reflected on the girl's cheeks. She pursed her lips and whispered, "I, I'm fine."

That's not the point!

"If Riki knew that I attacked Deng, she would probably punch my head off." With a wry smile, Naruse Ritsu secretly apologized to Shiina Riki in her heart while trying to use her to change the subject.

"Because Li Xi came here first?"

no!

"Because I'm not ready yet..."

With a self-deprecating smile, Ritsu Narose expressed his thoughts.

In his naive imagination at the beginning, his abnormal XP for "liking humans" would not develop to this extent. He also did not expect that the number of his harem would increase from two to three and then to four - and now it has reached five!

Naruse Ritsu believes that most males in the world, as long as their energy allows, would enjoy the beauty of a harem. However, the beauty of a harem lies in enjoying the benefits without the responsibilities—much like the male tigers who leave after training (although tigers are generally monogamous).

Ritsu Narose, who wants to follow the "royal way" along the way, naturally does not want to be a despicable person, but the ambitious goals he envisions are very demanding.

Even though he was not sure that he would be able to reproduce, when he thought about the possibility of a bunch of carrot-heads appearing in the future and needing him to earn gold coins, Mingse Ritsu felt that his fate might be even bleaker than that of a certain Flame Dragon.

Even if we put this material factor aside, a harem that can maintain stability will inevitably have various contradictions waiting for him to reconcile.

Mr. Naruse, who insisted on the principle of "grasping both ends with both hands and making both ends strong", felt more and more overwhelmed as he spoke, and finally accepted Ms. Takamatsu's invitation to sit on his lap.

This is what Ms. Shiina saw when she returned.

66. Double

Love is a harsh winter, but it brings warmth; love is a warm spring, but it consumes everything.

Therefore, Ritsu Narose chose to let Takamatsu Touma leave, and face the skin-piercing look that Ritsu Shiina gave him by himself.

The closed room became the eternal Constantinople in the hearts of the elite Romans. The girl, who was not even 1.6 meters tall, suddenly burst out with overwhelming momentum, causing someone who felt ashamed to sit still and wait for her scrutiny.

"You have nothing to say?"

"Uh..." Not sure if this was a ploy to lure him into a trap or her true thoughts, Ritsu Narose, who didn't understand women's minds, could only answer dutifully, "Maybe we need to add another room to our house plans?"

As soon as he said this, Naruse Ritsu saw Shiina Riki clenching his fists, and the smile on his face became more sinister, reminding him of the monk next door who dominated the T1 position in the Baldur's Gate strength list for an entire year.

Knowing that he was in the wrong, although Ritsu Narose wanted to say that Riki came later, his brain capacity did not allow him to say such thoughtless words.

Sitting face to face, Shiina Riki turned to look at the potion that had not yet been put away on the other side, and suddenly asked, "Is the lamp interested in you?"

Starting with a killer question? Isn't that inappropriate?

"The lamp described a vision to me," Naruse Ritsu replied, looking at the potion that was only one-third left, "and I also hope that we can be together forever."

Surprisingly, Shiina Tatsuki showed no sign of anger when she heard this. She simply asked the next question calmly, "You like lights, right?"

I think there are some obvious questions that don't need to be asked.

Silently complaining in his heart, Naruse Ritsu had no choice but to obey and do his best to calm Shiina Ritsuki's suppressed anger. Therefore, he had to remain 100% vigilant and use the same methods that had helped him get his position at the Ryuki Academy.

"This question is a bit complicated..."

"You mean you don't like lights!?"

Seeing his hesitation, Shiina Riki immediately widened his eyes, as if he was deeply irritated by his short-sighted behavior.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant..."

"Ha, I knew you had those thoughts about the lamp!"

"..."

Faced with such unreasonable behavior, Ming Lai Lu's heart couldn't help but feel a little ripple.

What should he say?

Do I have to tell Shiina Riki that your affair has been exposed, that Takamatsu Touma has seen you and the others running away clearly, even the scene of Aine becoming a dragon knight?

Ritsu Naruse felt that if she told the truth at this time, Shiina Ritsuki would probably blush on the spot, and some strange things might happen. She would also be surrounded by embarrassment when interacting with Deng in the future.

For the sake of Riki and the others, and also to prevent Deng from having a rift with them, Ritsu Narose is unwilling to reveal the secret that "Deng knows their secret."

But at this moment he had to face the relentless pursuit of Shiina Riki, and he had to give an answer that could resist the offensive.

And in these few short seconds, Shiina Riki was also recalling what she saw of Takamatsu Touma.

Ever since Deng started working at the cafe, she could see her there every school afternoon until the end of her working day and they went to the recording studio to practice.

Working, practicing - although they were just trivial things, she saw a light that was completely different from her previous impression.

When the weak girl finishes the task at hand, she will look up and search for the figures around her.

If her search yielded no results, she would pull out her phone to check the agreed time in the group chat, and then carefully confirm today's meeting time with her.

If she saw the person she expected to see, she would unconsciously smile with joy, and from time to time look up at a guy sitting in a single seat, concentrating on his own world.

Shiina Riki certainly knew what Deng's unique attitude meant, so the hesitation in her heart gradually turned into determination - if she did not take the initiative, the final result might become "she put a hat on Takamatsu Deng."

After all, what right did she have to blame Ritsu Narose?

Her behavior was not noble, and she did everything just to satisfy her own desires and her pride in not wanting to be outdone by others.

If Deng knew that she had joined the battlefield before her and did not reveal any information to her, would Deng blame her for keeping silent?

The scales in Shiina Riki's heart were not accurate, and the two completely different emotions could not be compared. The restless mood often haunted her nights like a nightmare, until the game during this trip changed everything.

Faced with unstoppable regret, Deng is willing to share the feelings that could have been kept to himself. Although it's just a game, Shiina Riki is deeply shocked and wonders if he is the one who is narrow-minded.

Shiina Riki, who is not good at sneaking around, doesn't know that Takamatsu Touma feels deeply regretful after seeing her actions, and feels that she is being left far behind by the other two.

With a silent sigh in her heart, Shiina Riki was ready to end this questioning of herself. But when she raised her head, she was met with the bright eyes of Naruse Ritsu.

"I do like Deng, but I can't say anything about Deng right now." After respecting Deng's choice, Naruse Ritsu finally began to show his sword. "I can't guarantee what I will choose in the future, but I am certain that I will not choose a path that will bring regrets to everyone."

"What's the point of saying these nice words to me..." Feeling a little corny, Shiina Riki blinked and looked away.

"If you're not even willing to say nice things, that's even worse, isn't it?" Naruse Ritsu said as he stood up. "In the end, you have to not only believe it yourself, but also make the other person believe it."

The erect figure filled Shiina Riki's field of vision, blocking out the light from the window. The shadow cast upon her, causing her, as she looked up at him, to feel an unknown throbbing sensation.

"I can sense the uneasiness in Lixi, so I feel it's necessary to speak out now... No, I should resolve your uneasiness with practical actions."

"……what?"

……

"Deng-chan? Why are you here?" Chihaya Aine asked curiously after buying "Takashi Techniques - From Scamming to Burial" and returning to the hotel when she saw Takamatsu Deng standing in the corridor outside the room.

"Well, Lu and Li Xi have something to talk about... so I came out so as not to disturb them..." Trying not to think about the voice he heard through the door, Takamatsu Deng, with a blushing face, could only answer with his back to the others.

No updates in the past two days

Going on a long journey again, pure torture

I'm so irritable, I can't write at all.

I hope things can stabilize once things are resolved.

I'm deeply sorry

67. Secret Strike

Soaking in the misty hot spring, Shiina Riki lowered his head in a daze.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else here, she rushed in as fast as she could.

First, he washed the stains on his chest in the shower, then smeared the hotel's special bath mud on his body. After making sure that there was no trace of suspicious odor, Shiina Riki entered the hot spring.
