I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

Xia Wuzhao just watched silently.

Xiao Ai thought to herself, "What coincidence? Lord Xia Wu, it was clearly you who made me keep an eye on things here."

Xia Wuzhao did not answer Xiao Ai's question; she was only thinking about the pattern of wish consumption.

Creating something from nothing consumes the most energy, while fulfilling a requirement by utilizing existing resources consumes the least.

So if you asked for a large sum of money directly back then, the amount would be pitifully small.

However, if one were to earn 20,000 yen every day, this could be sustained for decades. This is because a large sum of money requires creation out of thin air, while 20,000 yen can be obtained through luck, without needing to be made from nothing.

Money lost by someone, or money that someone might have accidentally missed and let blow away by the wind, could all be sources of the 20,000 yen.

Therefore, if it's going to rain, it's very simple. It won't consume too much of his accumulated wish power; he calls accumulating wish power each day a moment.

Now, he already possesses the power of a wish for twenty or thirty moments.

A moment's worth of power can draw upon the moisture in the surrounding sky to produce several hours of rain. Because Tokyo Second has itself been hit by torrential rains, the area is rich in moisture.

With these thoughts in mind, I finally arrived at school.

Seeing that Xia Wu-sama wasn't responding to her, Xiao Ai could only puff herself up and stop talking.

After changing her shoes at the shoe locker, Xia Wukai was about to return to the classroom when Kirishima Chiho suddenly called her outside the teaching building.

Under the side wall of the teaching building, Kirishima Chiho glared angrily at Natsugiri Kai.

"Minister? What is it?"

Xia Wuzhao silently looked at the girl in front of her.

Kirishima Chiho moved her lips slightly, her brows furrowing.

"Why do I feel this pain in my heart? What's going on? Could it be related to my amnesia? What does the title 'Minister' signify?"

With these thoughts in mind, Kirishima Chiho barely suppressed her discomfort. She looked at the person in front of her and smiled, saying, "Just call me Kirishima, Natsugiri-kun."

"In exchange, I'll call you Xia Wu."

The girl smiled.

"Isn't this a bad idea?" Xia Wuzhao looked at the woods next to her. There was a lawn and a grove of trees next to the teaching building, where many students would cool off at noon.

Sometimes, the wind band members would bring their stools and practice here.

"That's not a good idea, Minister."

Natsugiri Kai rejected Kirishima Chiho's proposal.

"Oh?" Kirishima Chiho grinned mischievously. "Natsugiri-san, are you shy? Or scared?"

She poked Xia Wuzhao's shoulder with her finger: "Are you afraid that A-Kui will misunderstand? Afraid that A-Kui will get jealous and ruin your relationship?"

Natsuki Kai took a half step back, avoiding Kirishima Chiho's fingers that kept poking at her.

Kirishima Chiho has lost her memory, though she may still retain some muscle memory. But right now, it's best not to let Chiho continue like this.

"Chichi."

The girl covered her mouth and laughed, her crimson eyes blinking.

She stood with her hands behind her back, looking like a girl from a manga: "You're really shy, Natsugiri-kun."

“No,” Xia Wuzhao retorted to the girl.

“Then, I’ll call you Xia Wu. Xia Wu.” A sly glint flashed in the girl’s eyes: “Since you’re not shy and aren’t afraid that Aoi will be jealous, it’s okay for me to call you Xia Wu, right?”

Xia Wuzhao frowned and asked, "Minister, what exactly is it?"

"Don't rush, Natsugiri." Chiho took another step forward and punched Natsugiri Kai with her little fist: "Natsugiri Kai, you seem a little uncomfortable with being touched by girls."

Xia Wuzhao said, "That's not true."

"Heh heh, I believe you."

Chiho had an expression that said, "Although I don't understand, I respect it," but this kind of thing...

Natsugiri Kai paused for a moment, pretending not to hear, and said to Chiho, "Minister, can we get down to business now?"

"What an impatient guy."

Chiho gave Natsume a resentful look: "A guy like you isn't very popular with girls."

"I myself have never had the idea of ​​being popular with girls, Minister."

Xia Wuzhao answered calmly.

"I know, I know." Chiho waved her hand dismissively; "Because you have Aoi, and Aoi likes you, so no matter what you do, there are girls who care about you."

Xia Wuzhao simply looked at her, waiting for Chiho to continue.

"Ok?"

The girl looked at Xia Wuzhao and said, "Aren't you surprised?"

Xia Wuzhao still didn't answer, but just quietly looked at Chiho.

"Hey."

The girl tilted her head, letting her crimson hair fall over her shoulder, and sighed helplessly.

Then, in Xia Wuzhao's gaze.

Chiho crossed her arms and looked coldly into Natsumi's eyes: "Natsumi, you really do know that Aoi likes you, don't you? Although I don't know what kind of conflict you two are having, if you feel that you two can't make up anymore..."

"Then, let's tell A-Kui as soon as possible and tell her to give up, shall we?"

"As Aoi's friend and your minister, I feel it's necessary to remind you that this lingering relationship will only cause Aoi and you more pain."

"If you don't like it, then why not just let go cleanly?"

Her tone was aloof, as if she were in a superior position.

He seems like a mature adult.

The only difference is that she is not like the Kirishima Chiho of the past. The Kirishima Chiho of the past was a helpless and soft girl. The only revenge she could think of against her mother was her own death.

But Chiho now is completely different.

She grasped power and influence; her family background, her origins, her grandmother, and the long history, everything she had learned before, her knowledge, her appearance, everything about her—all of it finally transformed into the power that Chiho held in her hands.

It transformed into her aura.

It makes people unconsciously admire it.

Xia Wuzhao said, "Minister, what do you want me to do?"

"If we can't make up, how about we give up?"

As she said this, the girl's imposing aura suddenly vanished as if from nowhere, and she smiled like a little devil, saying, "Of course, there's another way."

"That means you two made up, and you can gain a girl like Aoi."

"A beautiful girl, aren't you tempted?"

Chapter 229 Getting Closer to You Means Getting Closer to Pain [4k]

The words sounded familiar, and Xia Wukai remembered that Chiho had said something similar before.

He said to Chiho, "You seem to really like saying things like that, always talking about beautiful girls and such. It's like they're expensive gifts that everyone who receives them should be grateful for."

Xia Wuzhao's words were somewhat cold and sharp.

A normal person would probably be very angry. Even though what I said is true, and it's in your best interest.

But why are you mocking me instead?

However, Chiho stared at Natsugiri Kai.

Her crimson eyes were full of inquiry: "Have I ever said anything like that to you before? This is probably the first time I've ever called you something like 'beautiful girl.' You're implying that I've said it many times before."

“You’re being a bit paranoid, Minister,” Xia Wuzhao said. “I just felt that you would say something like that later, so I’m just taking precautions.”

"Oh, I see?" Chiho nodded, as if suddenly realizing something. "So Natsugiri, you also have the ability to foresee the future."

"So, can you tell me what kind of activities our class will choose for the cultural festival?"

The girl blinked her eyes, looking very curious.

Xia Wuzhao simply looked at Qianhui silently, a silence that left Qianhui feeling helpless.

"Sigh." Chiho patted her head helplessly and said, "It was just a joke, just a joke."

"Natsumura, you're so boring."

She complained, then finally looked up at Xia Wuzhao again: "However, it would be better if you and A-Kui made up."

"Because if you don't make up, I'm going to kick you out."

The girl stood with her hands on her hips, looking rather sulky, but in a cute way.

She seemed like a coquettish young girl, as if she hadn't just said those words.

She is ever-changing, making it impossible to know what her true nature is.

Xia Wuzhao glanced at the girl and hesitated for a moment, which was uncharacteristic of him.

Perhaps it's because she's Chiho, or perhaps it's for some other reason.

Xia Wuzhao said to her, "You want me to make up with Asahi Aoi, but how can I make up? In the end, even if Aoi is angry, I don't understand why."

"But, you're the one who made her angry, aren't you?"

Chiho said, "She's waiting for you to apologize, Natsugiri. If you apologize, then Aoi will definitely forgive you."

Even if we don't know the reason?

Xia Wuzhao asked in return.

“That’s right, as long as you apologize to Aoi, that’s enough,” Chiho said. “As long as you apologize, Aoi will definitely forgive you. Because she really loves you.”

"Minister, don't you think saying such things makes people feel too heavy-hearted?" Xia Wuzhao asked back.

"Heh." Chiho looked at Natsugiri with disdain: "You should feel lucky to have the affection of a beautiful girl like Aoi. You don't cherish it and even feel it's too much of a burden."

As she spoke, she punched Xia Wuzhao's shoulder hard: "If you're a man, go and apologize properly."

Xia Wuzhao casually agreed to the matter.

Later, during the long break after the second period, Natsugiri Kai called Asahi Aoi to the rooftop.

Although Aoi Asahi still came, she didn't look at Natsugiri Kai. She simply crossed one arm over her chest and held her soft hair in the other.

The sound was as light as a feather, yet as harsh as ice.

"what's up?"

She asked that question.

Xia Wuzhao looked at the girl and calmly asked, "About what happened before?"

"What happened before?"

The girl seemed completely unaware.

"It's something that made you angry and then furious."

Xia Wuzhao said to Aoi, "I'm here today to apologize."

“Really?” Aoi said. “I don’t remember doing that. You don’t need to apologize.”

The girl spoke in a calm tone, as if nothing had ever happened.

"So this never happened."

Xia Wuzhao nodded seriously: "It seems I remembered wrong. Perhaps this really didn't happen."

Asahi Aoi frowned and turned to look at Natsugiri Kai: "You don't even remember the mistakes you made in the past, and you come to apologize to me?"

“Because the minister asked me to apologize,” Xia Wuzhao said calmly. “She said you are very angry right now, so she asked me to apologize.”

Xiao Ai shouted in Xia Wu's mind, "Lord Xia Wu! Don't say that! You're deliberately trying to make A-Kui angry!"

But Xia Wuzhao still spoke out.

Asahi looked at Natsugiri Kai in front of her and pursed her lips: "How wonderful, you and Chiho are so familiar now? Does whatever she says go? She asked you to apologize, so you came to apologize?"

“After all, she’s the minister, isn’t she?” Xia Wuzhao said with unusual calmness; “After all, I’m just a member.”
