In the anime, Ai Li's father really doesn't want to be a yellow-haired man

Xiaosan shook his head and said gently, "It's okay, don't be stubborn. Come, I'll carry you." As he said that, he squatted down and let Christa climb onto his back.

Christa looked at Xiaosan with gratitude, hugged Xiaosan's neck tightly, rested his head on his shoulder, and felt his strong heartbeat and warm breath.

On Kozo's back, Christa enjoyed the warmth. Her hands unconsciously hugged Kozo tightly, as if she wanted to keep this warmth with her forever... Her cheek gently rested on Kozo's shoulder, feeling his solid muscles and warm body temperature.

The distance between Wall Rose and Wall Hina is about 130 kilometers. The town where Kozo was previously located is only 50 kilometers away from Wall Rose, which is about the distance from western Chiba Prefecture to the center of Tokyo.

With Kozo's "Tendo Souji's physique," it was no problem for him to easily complete the 50-kilometer journey in half a day. However, due to the need to consider Christa's speed, the shadow of the Rose Wall was only visible at night.

When Christa woke up on Xiaosan's back, it was already night.

The moon was exceptionally bright today, casting a silvery glow all around. She raised her head slightly and gazed into the distance, clearly seeing the towering Wall of Rose and the residential houses near the gate to the Trost District. They appeared exceptionally quiet and solemn in the moonlight.

"Are you awake? Just in time, we're almost there." Xiaosan's voice sounded particularly gentle in the silent night sky. He felt that Christa had woken up and spoke softly.

Christa hummed softly and rubbed her eyes, trying to shake off the sleepiness. Then, she said with some concern, "Xiao San, it's easy to get checked at night. We'd better go there during the day."

Xiao San nodded in agreement. "Then let's find a place to rest and set off again at dawn," he suggested, and began to look for a safe and secluded place.

Takashi San carried Christa to a large tree and gently lowered her down, making sure she was comfortably leaning against the trunk... The night breeze blew gently, rustling the leaves.

Christa continued to apologize: "I'm so sorry, I clearly wanted to help you, but I made you carry me for such a long time." Her voice was full of self-blame and guilt, and she was obviously dissatisfied with her own powerlessness.

Takashi turned around, looked at her gently, and whispered, "It's okay, Christa-chan, you're very light and it won't be tiring to carry you." His tone was full of comfort and understanding, as if telling her that she didn't need to feel sorry for it.

Yet, Christa knew he was comforting himself. The proof was… not long after, Takashi fell asleep leaning against a tree. His breathing gradually became steady and deep, clearly indicating genuine fatigue.

Seeing his exhausted appearance, Christa became more determined.

Moonlight shone like water on Takashi's face... Christa looked at Takashi's sleeping face, her eyes gleaming with a complex light. She stared at him intently, unable to extricate herself for a long time, deeply attracted by Takashi's calm and peaceful appearance. "To me, Takashi, you are my hero, you are my goal, you are the reason for my life. As long as you need me, I..."

Chapter 12: 012 Kozo and Christa share a bed

When Xiao San opened his eyes again, it was already dawn. The morning light filtered through the leaves, scattering patches of light on his face. He felt a soft blanket covering him, a blanket he remembered not having when he slept... He knew it was Christa's attentive care.

Takashi San turned his head slightly and saw Christa. She was sitting not far away, leaning against a tree trunk, feeling sleepy, but... she was still trying hard to stay awake. She looked both cute and endearing.

Christa noticed that Xiao San had woken up. "You're awake?" Her voice was soft and a little hoarse, obviously because she hadn't slept all night. She tried to stand up, but her movements were a little clumsy, obviously her body was stiff from holding that position for so long.

A wave of guilt and gratitude welled up in Xiaosan's heart. He gently grabbed Christa's hand to stop her. "You don't have to get up. Rest a little longer. You worked hard last night. I slept too soundly and didn't get up to hand over to you."

Christa shook his head and smiled, saying, "It's okay. I should take care of you. Besides, I've almost rested."

Kozo once again carried Christa on his back, her body looking particularly small on his shoulders. Christa wanted to refuse, thinking she shouldn't burden Kozo any more, but when she felt his reassuring arms, her resistance slowly melted away.

They arrived at the door of an inn near the city gate of Trost District. Xiao San gently put Christa down, handed her his bag, and said to her gently, "Wait here for a while."

Christa nodded, took the bag, and watched as Takashi San went in to talk to the innkeeper. She stood downstairs, feeling uneasy... she didn't know what kind of situation Takashi San would encounter, nor did she know if she could help.

Just as Christa stared blankly at the inn entrance, her hand was suddenly grabbed by a force, and she was pulled into a run. "Huh? Wait..." As she ran, Christa finally got a clear look at the girl in front of her, who looked not much older than herself. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Isn't this...

Christa's thoughts went back to the time he spent on the farm. He seemed to have seen her hiding in the stable, and he often brought her food.

The girl has short black hair, brown skin, some freckles on her face, and her eyes reveal stubbornness and unruliness.

Hrista reacted and tried to break free, "Let me go, Ymir."

Seeing that he couldn't pull her anymore, Ymir pulled her into the alley nearby. "How long do you want to stay with that man? If you're after his money, you're in trouble now."

When Christa heard Ymir's words, she felt a surge of anger in her heart. "This is none of your business, right?" Christa said unhappily, and then turned to leave. She just wanted to return to Takashi's side as soon as possible. "If Takashi doesn't see me when he comes out, he will definitely be very anxious. I have to go back quickly."

However, Ymir did not let her go and shouted, "Do you want to help that guy so much? Or do you want that man to think that you are a good person who can help him?" Her words were sharp, like a sharp knife piercing Christa's heart.

Christa stopped, her pupils trembling, as if she had realized something. At this moment, she couldn't find the right words to respond to Ymir's question.

Seeing that what she had just said seemed to have touched Christa, Ymir smiled and walked over to her side, whispering in her ear, "I'm telling you, just forget about that guy. You have money now, don't you? You can live wherever you want. Besides, if you stay with him, aren't you afraid of what he might do to you? If he gets tired of you and sells you off, you'll regret it by then."

Ymir continued, "You can trust me. You are my savior. I will introduce you to some good places."

However, Christa said firmly, "That's impossible. I will never betray Xiao San, no matter what." Her voice was filled with determination, without the slightest hesitation. After that, she turned and left.

Ymir stared at her back in shock, clenching her fists in frustration. "Damn it, what an idiot."

Christa trotted to the hotel, feeling nervous and uneasy. She was afraid... afraid that Xiao San would misunderstand her and think that she had abandoned him and left with the money.

When she reached the door of the hotel, her breathing was a little rapid, and her cheeks were slightly flushed from the exercise. Just then, Xiao San came out, and his eyes immediately fell on Christa. Seeing her like this, he quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Christa, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Christa shook her head, trying to appear calm. She smiled and explained, "I just saw someone who looked familiar, so I ran after him. It turned out I was mistaken."

After hearing Christa's explanation, Xiao San didn't ask any further questions. He smiled and said, "I've already negotiated this." He stepped forward and continued in a low voice, "The boss doesn't want our ID."

Christa's eyes lit up, but then a hint of worry appeared. "You gave a lot of money again, didn't you?" She knew that Xiaosan had no regard for money and was very generous. Christa, who had experienced hunger and cold, knew that money was very important in this world.

Takashi San held up a finger, shook it gently, and smiled apologetically, "I really can't hide it from you."

Christa said helplessly, "I really can't do anything about you. Really, let me talk to the boss." There was a hint of pampering and responsibility in her tone, and she seemed to be ready to stand up and worry about Xiao San at the critical moment.

Takashi nodded, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes, "Okay, thank you then."

Christa took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to walk towards the innkeeper, and silently said to himself, "Don't be so polite. After all, I'm your hired assistant now, and this is my responsibility!"

Afterwards, Christa negotiated with the boss in a childish tone, with clear logic and arguing with reason... After some fierce bargaining, Christa finally successfully lowered the accommodation price from 1 gold coin to 5 silver coins, and also pried out from the boss how to sneak into the Trost District.

In the room, Xiao San praised Christa: "You are really amazing. You easily did what I couldn't do."

Christa felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, her cheeks slightly red, and she waved her hands and said, "No! And I still feel a little bit at a disadvantage." Although she spoke modestly, she could not hide her pride in her eyes.

At this moment, Christa also noticed a change in himself. Being around Takashi San, he seemed to have grown bolder... The once timid, weak-willed self now dared to bargain with these dangerous and filthy adults.

No, maybe this is my true nature... right? Because I feel safe around Xiao San, knowing that he will protect me.

Inside the room, the sunlight from the window shone on the two of them. Takashi San stood in front of Christa, his fingers scratching his cheek unconsciously. He asked softly, "Just one room?"

Christa blinked, a look of innocence... She was confused by Takashi's suggestion, "What's wrong?"

Xiao San said a little embarrassedly: "After all, you are a girl. It's not good for me to live with you, right?"

Christa's heart skipped a beat, and a barely perceptible blush crossed her face...Realizing the meaning behind Takashi San's words, Christa couldn't help but feel an inexplicable throbbing in her heart.

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled calmly and said, "It's okay, Xiaosan, I believe you won't do anything excessive to me. Besides, this bed is very big, enough for two people to sleep in. It would be a waste of money to get another room, wouldn't it?" She tried to keep her voice calm, but her heart was already beating fast.

Xiao San looked at Christa, who nodded gently and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The atmosphere in the room gradually calmed down, and the two began to talk about other topics. Xiao San suggested that Christa teach him how to read and write.

After hearing this, Christa's eyes flashed with a gentle light, and she smiled and nodded. She sat beside Xiaosan and patiently taught him how to write.

Takashi San picked up the pen and wrote stroke by stroke according to Christa's instructions... His fingers were a little stiff and the strokes were not smooth enough, but he kept practicing.

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was already dark.

Xiaosan looked up and looked out the window. Christa also noticed the change in the sky. She stood up and lit the oil lamp, and the warm light shone on the two of them.

"Let's stop here for today." Christa said with a smile.

In the quiet of the night, Christa lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, his mind full of thoughts. Meanwhile, Xiao San had already fallen into a deep sleep, lying on his side.

This was Christa's first time sleeping with someone of the opposite sex, and a sense of disappointment welled up in her heart. Although Christa said she believed Takashi San wouldn't do anything to her...but Takashi San really didn't do anything inappropriate to her, which made her feel a little disappointed.

An unknown amount of time passed before Xiaosan, still in his sleep, suddenly felt a subtle touch from behind him. Drowsily, he opened his eyes and turned to see Christa lying quietly behind him, her arms tightly wrapped around his body, her soft, delicate legs pressed against his legs. The moonlight cast a soft glow on Christa, making her look even more graceful and charming.

In fact, Xiaosan is also very clear about the psychology of boys and girls of this age.

Japan has always had a reputation for having precocious elementary school students, hasn't it? Before 03, the legal age of consent in Japan was 13 (in China, it's 14; following widespread protests in 2020, Japan raised the age of consent to 2021 in 16, but Kozo's previous life didn't live to see that year). However, dating among younger elementary school students in Japan has long been common, and their attitudes are very open.

Chasing a girl is difficult, because pursuit is inherently difficult. The girl has no feelings for this boy, and he's only clinging to her until she feels like, "There's nothing better, just settle for this one," and then she chooses him. It's not because she loves him or is touched by him, but because she has no other choice.

The same is true in reverse. If a girl has a crush on a boy, even if they only spend a short time together, she will not resist the boy's intimate behavior and will actively seek more intimate contact.

Kouzo's heart fluttered slightly, but he quickly relaxed. Perhaps it was Christa's sleeping posture, or perhaps she was feeling a little cold. Whatever the truth, Kouzo believed it, and he believed it. He treated Christa the same way he treated Ai Li. Without dwelling on it, Kouzo gently turned over, trying to make himself more comfortable.

In the early morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Xiao San slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was Christa's beautiful face... the delicate features of a European lolita, her eyes tightly closed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her skin as white as snow, and radiant.

Christa's body was tightly pressed against Xiaosan... Xiaosan could feel her petite and soft body. Every exhalation brought a fresh and sweet breath, mixed with the taste of saliva and female hormones. This breath made Xiaosan a little intoxicated.

At that moment, Takashi San suddenly felt his male instincts... his divine light rod seemed to stand up. This was a normal phenomenon at this age, wasn't it? It often happened even when he had no other thoughts in mind.

He tried hard to control his impulse and gently pushed Christa's body away to avoid his extremely hard divine light stick being discovered and causing some embarrassing situation.

Christa was awakened by Xiao San's gentle movements. She rubbed her hazy eyes and said in a lazy voice: "Is it morning already?"

Xiao San looked at her tenderly and asked softly, "Did you rest well last night?"

Christa nodded with a sweet smile on her face: "Well, Xiaosan's body is very warm!" Her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze.

She suddenly felt an urge to test Takashi's reaction. 'Takashi doesn't hate me, does he?' Christa threw herself into Takashi's arms, rubbing her cheek against his chest, feeling his warmth and heartbeat, and smelling his reassuring scent.

Xiao San was a little surprised by her sudden action, but he didn't push her away. Instead, he gently stroked Christa's hair and said with a smile, "Stop it, stop it, it's itchy." His voice was full of doting.

Hearing this, Christa confirmed the answer. 'He doesn't hate me.' A sweet feeling welled up in her heart. She continued to snuggle in Kouzo's arms, enjoying his warmth and the feeling of being loved.

Chapter 13: 013 Christa seems to be suffering from dependency syndrome

In Xiao San's arms, Christa accidentally touched a hard stick-like object. She was a little surprised, and out of curiosity, she blurted out, "What is this?"

Takashi San's brain suddenly clicked with a line from Gintama. "This is the Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon," Takashi San said seriously.

"Armstrong Cannon? That's..." Suddenly, Christa seemed to understand something, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Xiaosan's eyes, her heart filled with complicated emotions.

Seeing Christa's thoughts drifting off, Takashi San took a deep breath and decided to explain everything to her seriously. "Okay, enough joking," he said, trying his best to hide his embarrassment and his tone became serious.

He began to teach Christako about male physiology, starting with the changes during puberty, and explained in detail the various phenomena that occur in the male body during development.

"...the natural waves produced by the British police in an unconscious state without being controlled by the situation, actions, or thoughts...As he grows older, the frequency of his movements becomes more frequent and the duration gradually increases." Xiaosan tried his best to use simple and easy-to-understand language so that Christa could understand these concepts that might still be very unfamiliar to her.

"In short, this phenomenon is very normal." Xiaosan concluded, "It's normal for a body of my age. You don't need to be worried about it."

Christa listened to Xiao San's explanation and nodded in confusion. There was still a hint of shyness on her face, but there was a hint of understanding in her eyes.

Seeing that Christa seemed to understand what he said, Xiao San finally felt relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief. "Get up and wash up first," Xiao San said with a smile.

Hearing this, Christa nodded gently and stood up from his arms... There was still a hint of shyness on her face, but there was a sense of peace of mind and trust in her eyes.

Christa's heart wasn't as pure as it appeared. His mother was a nobleman's maid and lover, always picked up by men in carriages at night and returning only during the day... Christa knew everything, including the affairs between men and women.

Christa took everything Takashi San said as an excuse. She was very happy that Takashi San responded to her...it meant that Takashi San treated her as a woman and liked her.

As night fell, Xiaosan and Christa, under the guidance of the hotel owner, finally found Fred who was sorting goods next to the carriage after some twists and turns.

Xiao San approached him and explained his request. Fred looked at the two of them, then at the carriage loaded with goods, and confirmed that it was the introduction of the innkeeper, whom he knew well. Finally, he nodded and took the money Xiao San paid.

"Thank you, Mr. Fred," Christa said gratefully.

Fred just smiled slightly and pointed to the cargo box of the carriage: "Hide there, and be careful on the road."

Xiao San and Christa carefully climbed into the cargo box. The space was not spacious, so they could only sit huddled together, surrounded by all kinds of goods, leaving only a few narrow gaps for them to breathe.

"Be patient." Xiaosan said softly, his voice still so gentle.

Christa shook her head. Even though she could feel the oppression and discomfort of the cargo box, she still insisted, "I'm fine."

Christa leaned against the cold wooden board of the cargo box, unable to help but shiver slightly, and murmured, "It's so cold."

When Takashi San heard what Christa said, he opened his arms and said gently, "If you don't mind, come into my arms."

When Christa heard what Xiao San said, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he snuggled into Xiao San's warm embrace without any hesitation.

The body of a teenager, the soul of a middle-aged man, superhuman abilities... proactive, responsible, and giving, how could such a charming man not be liked by girls?

Xiaosan hugged her tightly and used his body to shield her from the cold.

After about a few hours, Xiaosan suddenly felt that something was wrong with Christa in his arms... Her legs were clamped together, her body was twisting, her face was flushed, and she was biting her lips tightly.

"Do you want to pee?" Xiaosan asked softly.

Christa's face flushed even more intensely when she heard Xiao San's words. She nodded shyly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum: "I... I can hold it in."

"You can't hold it in. Besides, there's still a long time before we get off the bus. You can't hold it in. If you force yourself to hold it in, you'll hurt your body." Xiaosan remembered the glass jar that Fred had stuffed into his hand before he got into the cargo box.

He took the glass jar out of his bag, handed it to Christa, and said gently, "Use this."

The interior of the cargo box was completely dark, but through the faint moonlight filtering through the cracks, Takashi could vaguely see Christa's flushed cheeks and watery eyes. ("Tendou Souji's physical qualities" greatly enhanced his vision.)

Tsukosa struggled to twist his body inside the narrow cargo box, trying to give Christa more space. He said gently, "I won't see or hear anything, don't worry." Then he covered his ears tightly with his hands.

However, Takashi's actions made Christa even more shy... She felt indescribably embarrassed, her cheeks flushed with shyness, and she secretly blamed herself for not drinking so much water before.

'Oh no, I can't hold it any longer.' Despite his inner struggle, Christa realized he had reached his limit.

Christa gently began his action... Although Xiaosan covered his ears, the space inside the cargo box was too small, and Xiaosan's hearing was extremely sensitive, so the sound of liquid entering the bottle still reached his ears clearly.

After a moment, Kozo felt Christa poke him gently.

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's, as if whispering in her ear: "It's enough."

After hearing this, Xiaosan slowly turned around and his eyes fell on Christa... At this time, Christa's face was flushed and his eyes flickered, obviously looking extremely shy.
