Absolute Zone Zero: I am a Succubus in Six Points Street

And Miyabi and Cangjiao who were also met at the riverside, Liu was not there for the time being.

After a round of shopping, I returned to Ling again. It seemed that going out for New Year's Eve was not a bad idea, although it was warm and comfortable to curl up on the sofa and watch TV.

But being together with important people outside is another kind of warmth.

Midnight is approaching, which also means that the lighting ceremony is about to begin. The brother and sister came to the riverside and cheered for Ies from close range.

The latter was very excited, with its ears pressed against the back of its head with joy. As the ceremony began, it came to Jiayin and crossed the bridge that the latter had built with harmonious energy.

Amid the shouts of the crowd on the riverside, they went to the other side and lit the lanterns to mark the beginning of the new year.

Brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky above the river, and the residents of New Ailidu also welcomed the new year in a bustling atmosphere.

Many people gathered by the river, including the people mentioned above, including the son of Calydon and Victoria's housekeeping staff.

……

"The year has already ended..."

The ceremony ended, and Jiayin's mission as the star of lighting the lights also ended. After completing her last task, she and Evelin came to the brother and sister to appreciate the gorgeous fireworks.

Hearing her words, Ling couldn't help but feel confused.

"Eh? Jia Yin, do you have any regrets?"

"No, I can't really say it's a regret, right? After all, I put 120% effort into everything I do, even wanting Tetsu... wanting Ies to be my partner."

Jiayin glanced at Zhe shyly and with a hint of resentment, then continued speaking.

"So, I never have any regrets. I just wonder... where will I be this time next year? At this time last year, I could never have imagined that so many things would happen a year later...

Ever since I met Zhe, life has been like... a piece of music reaching its allegro stage. So many things... if I seize every moment now, will I finally get the future I want...?

"Yes." ×2

Evelin and Zhe said in unison, and Jiayin was a little surprised to hear it.

"Eh~ So unanimous~? But if you all say so, then I think I can believe... the future I want will definitely come."

Jiayin's gaze met Zhe's without any concealment, as if seeking confirmation from the latter. Zhe did not say much, but nodded with a smile as before.

"Well, what about you? What kind of future do you want?"

As if because he got a satisfactory answer, Jiayin happily spoke again, but this time, the brother and sister tacitly did not answer.

Seeing this, Jiayin was not unhappy and showed understanding.

"Can't you tell me? Then, promise me something, okay? Earlier, you told Mr. Lekaan that New Ailidu is the city of joy...

I think so too, I have always thought so... We can survive, and New Aili can survive, because we know how to be happy!"

“…That’s an irrational statement…”

Zhe said this with a smile, but he didn't mean to refute it, and Ling nodded at this moment.

"Hmm...but I think Jiayin is right. Living in New Eridu, no one can predict what they will be like this time next year.

There is only one thing I absolutely don’t want to give up…”

Just like she didn't know that her brother would change so much in this year, and her relationship with him would also change so much.

"Well, no matter what the future holds... no matter what you want your future to be, promise me... to be happy! No matter what happens, you must, must not forget to be happy!

Remember my smile! ... Happy New Year. This year, next year, the next year, and every year. "

Jiayin looked at Zhe, with a faint smile in her voice, like colorful fireworks in the night sky falling into the air. The smile fell into her ears and into her heart, turning into a warmth like petals.

It will be spring soon.

I hope my situation can be as beautiful as spring...

Zhe thought this as he looked at the familiar girls who seemed to be slowly approaching him.

The first day of the new year, which was also the time I had agreed with them, was such a difficult task...

But speaking of it, everyone seems to be in high spirits today, but it may still be difficult to recreate the scene of that day.

So after Zhe talked with them separately, the girls temporarily suppressed their thoughts, but the more something is suppressed, the more violent it will be when it really explodes.

After that, Zhe suddenly noticed Xiao Kelin who was in a daze for some reason at the riverside where the crowd was gradually thinning out.

Zhe was about to step forward but was stopped by Lekaen and Lina. From them, Zhe learned the whole story.

It turns out that as the New Year's Day approaches, Kelin seems to have become obsessed with painting. A few days ago, she said that she wanted to paint a picture to commemorate this New Year.

But now, three days have passed, and Kelin's painting has not made any progress. So after work every day, she would come to the Light and Shadow Square to look for inspiration...

After learning this, Zhe immediately decided to help Kelin find inspiration.

At the same time, Ailian, who was beside Kelin, spoke to comfort her. She was wearing the JK school uniform at the time.

"I say, Kelin, you don't have to think too much. Just draw whatever you like best. As long as you like it, she will like it too."

“Really…?”

"Well, I went to ask Ruby, Mona, and Rin. Didn't you say that this painting was actually drawn for your friend? So I asked my friend."

……

Chapter 387 Tuo Jinri is not that Tuo Jin!

"Is that what they said? As long as I like it... it's okay?"

Kelin's tone was still a little uncertain, but Ailian spoke again.

"Yeah. Just like when you guys go out to play, don't you just go to the places you like?"

"I-Is that so...? I really... want to play with her again... I want her to see every New Year...

I really miss her... Every time my heartbeats... I think of her... These days, I've been wondering what she would say to me if she were still by my side... Woo..."

"Hey, Kelin, little Kelin, don't cry... What should I do now? You've made her cry..."

Kelin's sudden crying made Ailian a little at a loss. Fortunately, at this moment, Zhe, who found a suitable photo nearby as inspiration, came over.

"Great, Zhe! Come over here and help! Kelin, look, it's Zhe who's here."

Hearing Ailian's words, Kelin looked at Zhe with tears in her eyes. Then, with the comfort of the two of them, Kelin's sobbing finally stopped...

After noticing the situation here, Lekaan and Lina came over, and Zhe took this opportunity to hand the photos he took to Kelin.

"T-This was taken by Brother Zhe specifically...for me?"

"Yes, we know you wanted to draw [Light Reflection Square that's different from the usual], so we asked Master Zhe to give you some advice. It's your favorite brother Zhe who recommended it~ So now you won't be so hesitant, right?"

Lina's gentle words made Kelin silent for a moment, then she raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, her words trembling, but her heart was full of warmth.

“Everyone… and Brother Zhe… are all concerned about me… wuwawawa——”

She cried even harder than before. Fortunately, there were not many people by the river at this time, so it did not attract any onlookers.

"I'm sorry...but, but, Kelin...I...everyone...is worried about me...I...

No… I can't say I'm useless… This isn't the time… to blame myself… I must… I must finish this painting well…

Tell her... I have fulfilled her wish... along with her share..."

Kelin continued to talk incoherently, and no one interrupted her. Zhe gently touched her head, waiting for Kelin to calm down a little...

(The "she" that Kelin mentioned might be the friend who donated her heart to save Kelin when she was critically ill.)

"Thank you all for your help... I will... try my best! Brother Zhe, thank you for taking the photos for me. Kelin also has a painting for you, I hope you like it!"

Kelin said as she took out a painting in an exquisite frame. Although traces of the painting were visible, the artist's technique was still relatively unfamiliar.

But it is not difficult to see that she worked very hard to complete this gift, even the photo frame was made by her own hands.

"Well, thank you, I like it very much."

Zhe took it carefully. Kelin couldn't help feeling happy when she heard this. She seemed to have thought of something and spoke again.

"Brother Zhe likes it, and Kelin is very happy too, but...Brother Zhe, are you free tomorrow? Kelin wants to invite you to our place..."

"Well, I will cook for myself too~"

Lina smiled, and when she said this, everyone present changed their expressions, even Zhe felt a little scared.

And at this moment, Ailian reached out and pulled Lazhe's clothes, then spoke to him in a low voice.

"I'll be responsible for handling what Lina did, so... can you come?"

Ailian also wanted to give Zhe a gift, but she didn't bring it with her today. Unexpectedly, Kelin got there first, so she planned to give it to Zhe tomorrow.

Under such circumstances, how could Zhe refuse?

Afterwards, seeing that it was getting late, Zhe prepared to go back, and so did Victoria's housekeeping side. Ailian did not go with the former.

Her gift was almost finished, and if she wanted to give it to Zhe tomorrow, it would take some time.

However, when he returned home, Yaya happened to arrive at the door of the video store. Zhe was a little surprised by this as it was an unexpected situation.

Fortunately, according to the schedule, the first stop tomorrow is Ya's house, so it's just right to go with her tomorrow morning, but...

"Are you still coming here so late?"

"Well, because today is Takujin Day."

"what?"

The sudden inexplicable words made Zhe unable to react. He was wondering what this had to do with Taku Jinri. Yes, it was convenient to speak again.

"Because it's Gold Treasure Day, we have to Treasure Gold..."

As he spoke, Ya took Zhe's hand and walked into the video store. Seeing this, the latter also realized the so-called connection, but the problem was...

The Tuojin in Tuojinri is not that Tuojin!

But having said that, we still have to do what we have to do...

The night passed quickly, and the next morning, Ya got up and started dressing.

"Hmm? Weird..."

"What's wrong, Ya?"

When Zhe saw that the other person suddenly stopped putting on his clothes halfway, he asked, and Ya turned around and gestured at the breast wrap in his hand.

"This has become tighter. I could pull it to this position before, but before I knew it, I could only pull it to this position."

Ya hadn't paid much attention to it before, and only suddenly realized it at this moment.

Seeing this, Zhe took a step forward to confirm it. After thinking about it carefully, he found that he had indeed grown a lot (in terms of height, of course).

"I think I can still wear it, right?"

"Well, yes."

Ya nodded. After hearing this, Zhe was no longer worried. After all, he didn't have anyone suitable for Ya, so if that didn't work, he could only use Ling's.

"I'm ready, come to my house."

Not long after, the two arrived at Hoshimi's house, and Soichiro warmly welcomed his son-in-law, Tetsu.

The next to arrive were Yanagi and Sokkaku. As for Yuuma, he was a member of Section 6 after all, so Miyabi also invited him to dinner.

However, during the free time, Zhe suddenly expressed his desire to go to the bathroom, but the moment he closed the door, his figure disappeared instantly.

When he appeared again, he was somewhere in the city where there was no surveillance, and Zhe's target was the nearby luxury residential area.

I quickly reached the door and rang the doorbell. It only rang once when Kelin opened the door.

"Brother Zhe, welcome to your arrival..."

Kelin was so excited and happy that she even accidentally used honorifics. Seeing this, Zhe reached out and touched her head.

Although he was already familiar with the layout here, Zhe still followed Kelin's lead to the place where they would have dinner.

Ailian was resting on the sofa in the next room. When she saw Zhe coming, she immediately took her feet off the coffee table and walked out of the room.
