About becoming a magical girl

So Xue Nai took care of the housework. She opened the windows, turned on the ventilator, and began to clean up the home that no one lived in for a few days.

Avenir watched silently and sighed.

I haven't come back for a few days, and I just feel that this home seems to have become deserted.I don't know if it's because the parents have left, or because the temperature has gradually cooled down.

After autumn, an ordinary rain will bring about a rapid drop in temperature of more than ten degrees. The daytime before admission to the hospital still looks like summer, but when I leave the hospital, I need to put on a coat.

Time went by so fast, and Evenier couldn't help but sigh with emotion, as if he had slept in a hospital and had a dream.

After waking up from the dream, it is time to return to real life.

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly.

Evenier picked up the phone suspiciously, glanced at it to see that it was a call from Concubine Masaki.

She pursed her lips slightly and pressed the answer button.

"This is Evenier."

……

It took Xue Nai a while to simply tidy up the house inside and out.

As a home that has not been lived in for a few days, it will be more lively and warmer after a little ventilation.

Xue Nai cleaned the water glass again, started hot water, went to the suitcase again, and started tidying up.

Clothes dragged from the hospital were still stuffed in the suitcase.

Most of them are clean clothes that have been washed and dried, but there are still some that have not had time to dry and dry. They are the underwear that Avenier changed after changing her dressing this morning, and it is full of the unique smell of medicine in the hospital.

Taking advantage of the sunny day outside, Xue Nai took out the clean clothes in the suitcase, folded them neatly, and took the unwashed clothes to the balcony.

There are two washing machines, one big and one small. One is for cleaning coats and other clothes, and the other is for underwear.

After finishing these, she ran to the kitchen again.

She opened the door of the refrigerator and began to take out some of the stale vegetables inside and throw them into the trash.

……

142、I don't want to let you go

A few days ago, my uncle and aunt came back, so Naoko bought a lot of vegetables and other ingredients, as well as fruits, but some of these things are very perishable ingredients, and they don’t look fresh after a few days.

The garbage bag that had just been put on was soon half full. Xue Nai packed the garbage bag and carried it out the door.

Just as the door was closed, Naoko's cell phone rang, and the ringtone came from the door to Xue Nai's ears.

Xue Nai held the garbage bag and stabilized her figure.

"This is Evenier."

Then Naoko's voice came, and was cut off by the door, becoming somewhat indistinct.

With a slight movement of her eyes, Xue Nai unconsciously relaxed her hands and feet, and she turned around and went back to the door with the garbage bag in hand, carefully sticking it to the door, and listened to the voices coming from the living room.

But she couldn't understand why, the only thing she could be sure of was that the call probably came from the organization, because this was Naoko's special work number.

Naoko's work number is separate from the usual number.

Even identity.

Xue Nai recalled the "brother" she saw in the past, and suddenly found that Naoko's private number seemed to have never been used much.

The mobile phone she is using now is the one that Naoko gave her for temporary use. It is the mobile phone that Naoko usually used before, so Xue Nai also saw Naoko's address book-it may be too exaggerated to describe it as "empty", but it is only like this It is more appropriate to say that there are only a few call records, and most of them belong to the school and some courier companies.

Doesn't Naoko usually use a mobile phone?Xue Nai couldn't help being so skeptical.

But Yuki Nai suddenly remembered the girl she met in the taxi just now, Futaba Erika, the nostalgia hidden in Naoko's eyes looking at her, maybe it was just the nostalgia for Naoko's original ideal and life that died without a problem?

Naoko rarely mentioned what happened when she dropped out of college, but today she rarely mentioned something to Shinai.

Although Naoko was just trying to explain the relationship between her and Futaba Erika, Yukina could more or less see Naoko's life in college, and Naoko at that time was still the same as in the impression.

So, why is Naoko now completely separated from that time?

Xue Nai is not stupid, she vaguely guessed something about Naoko's mood when she became an agent, her wish and determination at that time.Probably for her own sake, Naoko completely cut off everything in the past, right?

……

When Xue Nai came back after throwing out the trash, she saw Evenier just hung up the phone and was thinking about something with his left hand on his pretty cheek.

She keenly noticed a trace of hesitation in Evenier's gaze.

Something must have happened.

"Naoko..."

Just as she was about to ask, Evenier said, "Xue Nai, Concubine Masaki called just now, these few days... I might go to the headquarters."

When she heard that Avenir was going back to work as an "agent", Xue Nai's heart tightened for no reason.

She came to sit down next to Evenier, and asked worriedly, "I've just been discharged from the hospital... are you going back? Did something happen?"

"No, it's not such an urgent matter, I just need to attend... I plan to go there tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Evenier comforted Xue Nai with a smile.

"Masaki Hina and Fushihara Ayaka set up a special task force, which is an attempt to imitate the special law enforcement agency in the central province. If possible, I would also like to see it."

"yes……"

Xue Nai lowered her gaze.

She didn't care about those working groups or law enforcement agencies, she just wanted Naoko to be by her side.

"But I don't want Naoko to go."

The voice fell, and there was a brief silence.

Then a pair of warm hands caressed the corners of her eyes.

"I promise you, I won't go anywhere except by your side."

……

------------

"But I don't want Naoko to go."

Xue Nai's voice fell, in exchange for a brief silence from Evenier.

"Go" or "leave", does this simple and cold word contain any deeper meaning?

Evenier couldn't help thinking this way.

Obviously, Xue Nai wanted to get a very simple answer from Evenier, all he needed was a promise.

Evenier knew it clearly, but couldn't say it.

Some promises will turn into lies and deceit when they are spoken, and Avenier never wants to deceive Chennai again.Then, "I can't,"—the words almost blurted out, but were swallowed by Evenier.

"I still have a lot of things to do", "This is also for us", "If I don't go...", "There is no way to do this"... These words have been said and heard enough by Evenier. She has heard it countless times from her seniors since she first joined the Order and became an agent.

This kind of rhetoric is both an excuse and a retreat, a comfort and deception to oneself, but it is also an indisputable fact.

But in other words, this is something Evenier has always been used to. She has always been used to the feeling of lying, and deceived Xue Nai with the lie of "Naoto Yanase".

But that kind of thing is a little rusty now.

Seeing Xue Nai's drooping eyelashes, Evenier slowly raised her hand, gently stroking Xue Nai's face, feeling the warmth that belonged to Xue Nai coming from the palm of her hand.

"I promise you, I won't go anywhere except by your side."

Evenier said softly.

For the first time, she found it quite difficult to lie, especially to the person who was most important to her.

Avenir's words made Xue Nai raise her head.

She saw the glimmer of light in Xue Nai's eyes, as well as her deep and warm eyes.

"Me too, I like Naoko the most... I always want to be by Naoko's side..."

Eveniel approached Xue Nai, and gently closed her eyes.

The temperature of the two gradually approached, and the taste and touch of Xue Nai came from the lips.

With such a distance, even if you open your eyes, you can't see each other clearly in your hazy vision.

Evenier couldn't help thinking about something.

After experiencing this long-lost serious injury, Evenier almost understood that it is impossible to achieve "legendary" with his own strength, and wanting to "guard forever" is a false proposition.

Everyone will "go".

In the past two years as an agent, countless people have "walked" away from Avenier's side. Avenier can only watch helplessly, and can't change anything with all his strength.

Perhaps one day in the future, the person standing here will probably be Xue Nai, right?Evenier was the one who "went".

At the thought of being separated from Xue Nai, my heart felt as if it was being held tightly by something.But Evenier knew that such an ending was more common.

Very early on, Evenier was mentally prepared to die at any time.This kind of awareness is accompanied by her entire career as an agent, and it has been determined by her since she was determined to protect others and Xue Nai.

If fighting relentlessly is seeking death, then Evenier has been walking towards death in order to achieve the wish he made a certain day.

When she was sad and painful, she also thought about "what would it be like to die like this", whether it would be over as soon as she left...but in the end she survived in a daze.

After all, Evenier is still unwilling to leave Xue Nai alone.

"Naoko..."

The scorching breath was lingering and intertwined, and there was a soft touch from under her body. Evenier gently fell on the sofa, the corners of her clothes were lifted up, and the cool soft touch lingered around her waist, and then climbed up her soft flesh.

Although it was only a few days, Evenier had almost gotten used to Xue Nai's touch.

Her thoughts were gradually replaced by another feeling.

But Xue Nai didn't go on, just supported her body with her hands, leaned over and kissed in a posture that would not touch Evenier's wound.

Now Evenier's body has not healed, and there is not much to do except kiss Xue Nai.

The warm breath gradually subsided, Xue Nai leaned over and hugged Evenier gently.

Her eyes fell on the tightly intertwined fingers of Evenier, on the ring finger of Evenier's right hand, a silver ring was shining there.

……

------------

143、I want you to smile

Xue Nai blinked her eyes, she didn't remember that Avenier had ever worn a ring.

"Naoko, is this...?"

"It's the apostle's beacon," Evenier explained, "It was given to me by Concubine Mazaki a few days ago, and I kept it on my body, and I put it on after I was discharged from the hospital today."

"That's it..."

Xue Nai gently held Evenier's hand, and looked closer at her face.

There are very faint lines of light appearing on this ring, which seems to be some kind of weird writing, but if you change the angle slightly, you can't see anything. At first glance, it is just an ordinary silver ring.

Xue Nai watched quietly, but suddenly her eyes moved slightly.

"Naoko... I heard that wearing a ring on the ring finger of the right hand signifies passionate love."

"Is there still such a saying? I just think it's just right to wear it here..."

"But that's right."

Xue Nai gently held Avenier's hand again, looking at her and Avenier's tightly intertwined fingers, a little lost in thought.

She suddenly asked in a low voice:

"Will Naoko marry me when I'm an adult?"

Her voice was as soft as a feather, rippling in Evenier's heart.

"meeting."
