Who is not a lawyer?

"About a year ago."

Luo Mio picked up an apple from the coffee table in front of her.

"One year ago..." Hoshima Hisami looked at Luo Mio's appearance. There was not much change compared to when she left. She was still as feminine as before.

"So what has your highness been doing all these years...?"

These years...

After hearing what Hoshima Hisamichi said, Luo Mio was also stunned for a moment.

The face of the girl when she left...

Then Luo Mio answered to Hoshima Hisami.

"I didn't do anything, just traveled around the world."

"Travel around the world..."

When Hoshima Hisami heard Luo Mio's answer, he was so shocked that he opened his mouth for a moment, and then showed an expression that was neither amused nor helpless.

"Your Highness is still Your Highness."

"But that's true..." Hoshima Hisaomi looked at Luo Mio with admiration in his eyes. "With your ability, traveling around the world will be easy for you."

After all, he had once had the good fortune to see with his own eyes Luo Mio destroy a level IV protostomata with a single blow. He was afraid that except for level V protostomata, no protostomata could hurt Luo Mio.

The image of Qi Luo Mio's roaring slash that was like a divine punishment was still deeply engraved in his mind.

Dark night, deep in the dark forest.

The short figure held a crow-feather-like Night Sword in his hand and faced the gastrula that was several times larger than himself, then put the sword into a dark golden scabbard.

In the blink of an eye, like thunder in a storm, golden lightning instantly lit up the entire dark sky.

Then, in a trance, a golden blade light flashed by.

The huge protostomes in front of the short figure suddenly turned into powder and scattered in the air, and the knife in the short figure's hand also disappeared at some point.

It was this scene that made Xingjian Hisamichi determined to become stronger.

Seeing the passionate look in Hoshima Hisamichi's eyes towards her, Luo Mio couldn't help but turn her head away.

"Anything else? If not, you can leave now."

After hearing Luo Mio's words, Hoshima Hisamichi also spoke quickly.

"His Royal Highness the Holy Emperor wants to be with you..." As he spoke, Xingjian Hisaomi's voice became lower and lower, and then he looked at Luo Mio cautiously and said.

"...see you once."

"..."

For a moment, Luo Mio didn't know what to say.

"I have already met that girl today."

"But, but, His Majesty the Holy Emperor does not want to meet you through a screen." After hearing Luo Mio's words, Hoshima Hisamichi said anxiously.

"His Highness the Holy Emperor hopes to meet you face to face."

"..."

"Your Highness the Holy Emperor said...she missed you very much."

"Haa..." After hearing this, Luo Mio sighed helplessly.

Looking at Hoshima Hisami in front of him, Luo Mio scratched the back of his head and said.

"Alright, alright, you're a grown man, and you're a lieutenant after all. Why do you have such a sissy expression on your face?"

Hearing the helpless tone in Luo Mio's words, Hoshima Hisamichi slowly raised his head.

Luo Mio glanced away.

"If I have a chance, I will go to the Holy Residence to see her."

The corners of Hisami Hoshima's mouth also curved upwards in joy.

At this time-

"Mioka-nii..."

The study door opened a tiny crack at some point.

Bushi's emerald-pink eyes peeked out from the crack in the door.

Perhaps because there were outsiders present, Bushicui said weakly: "It's time for dinner..."

After listening, Luo Mio also looked out the window.

I don't know when, the sky outside was already filled with sunset glow.

Turning back to look at Bushicui.

"Okay, got it."

He stood up, looked at Hoshima Hisaomi and asked, "Will you go back after dinner?"

"This, this, this... please don't bother me, Your Highness."

Hoshima Hisamichi also waved his hands in panic.

Looking at that frightened look, Luo Mio walked to the door and said expressionlessly.

After saying that, he opened the door.

"Don't want to eat? That's fine, you can leave now."

"..."

Hoshima Hisami opened his mouth slightly, then closed it again and whispered to Luo Mio.

"Then... Xingjian will respectfully obey your orders."

"correct..."

Luo Mio turned her back to him and glanced at him and said.

"When we eat later, don't call me Your Highness, understand?"

"I understand... Mr. Toudou." Hoshima Hisamichi spoke in a very awkward and troubled tone.

-

After dinner, Luo Mio stood at the entrance and looked at Hoshima Hisamichi who was about to leave.

In the living room, Bushi Cui was watching TV with Yue. The show they were watching was "Tenchu ​​Girls", which was very famous among girls of their age.

Hoshima Hisami looked at Luo Mio.

"Um... Your Highness, I, I will..."

Looking at him, Luo Mio seemed to know what Hoshima Hisamichi was thinking and said indifferently.

"You can come whenever you want, as long as you don't cause a commotion."

After hearing this, Hoshima Hisamichi also showed interest.

"Yes!"

Chapter 11: "Outer Zone"

"Ok?"

In the morning, while Luo Mio was still eating breakfast, a phone call came in.

On the other two sides of the table were Bushi Cui and Yue.

Perhaps because she hadn't taken a bath for a long time, Yue now revealed a cute and tender face, with long, straight black hair draped behind her, and eyes as pure black as obsidian.

"Rentaro?"

Luo Mio looked at the name of the incoming call on her phone with a puzzled look on her face.

Without thinking too much, Luo Mio answered the call.

"Mioka, is Yeonju at your house now?"

After the call was connected, Rentaro's anxious voice came from the phone.

Hearing Rentaro's anxious voice, Luo Mio also asked.

"Yeonju, you're not at my house, what's wrong?"

"actually..."

Rentaro's tone also became a little darker and lower.

"...Yeonju's identity as a "cursed child" spread in her school for some reason."

"..."

Except for some people like Luo Mio and Rentaro who do not hate the "cursed child", there are people in the Tokyo area and even in other parts of the world who hate and fear the "cursed child" very much.

These people lost their loved ones in the Gastrula War ten years ago, and witnessed the horror of the Gastrula with their own eyes, and then hated the Gastrula and the "Cursed Child".

This group of people is also called the "plundered generation."

After ten years, many people in this "plundered generation" have already married and had children.

However, because his hatred for the "cursed child" and his actions influenced his own children, in the eyes of those children, the "cursed child" was a monster.

If a "cursed child" is found in one's school, he or she will be treated as an outlier, just like any other student who doesn't fit in with the school crowd.

But the "Cursed Child" is even more serious...

Forced to drop out of school...

"Yeonju's teacher also said...I hid from him that Yeonju was a "cursed child"..."

All I heard was Rentaro speaking through gritted teeth.

"Even if I tell them... they will try their best to prevent Yeonju from enrolling... They are treating her like this just because of her identity as a "cursed child"..."

"..."

Luo Mio remained silent, then looked at the side of the dining table, where Bushi Cui and Yue were discussing what the most delicious food was.

"Where are you now?"

Ask about Rentaro's current location.

"I just walked out of Yeonju's school and now I'm going home to see if Yeonju has returned home."

"Okay then, I'll go out and look for it later."

Luo Mio replied.

"Thank you for your help, Mioka-san." Rentaro also said softly.

"That's nothing. After all, Yeonju is living under my watch."

After hearing what Luo Mio said, Rentaro also smiled softly.

"Yeah... When I first met Enju, if it weren't for Mioka-san's help, I wouldn't know how to get along with Enju."

"Then we'll contact each other later."

"Ah."

"What's wrong? Mioka-nii."

Luo Mio's hand was at the side, and Bushi's emerald pink and purple eyes were looking at him.

"In fact, Yeonju's identity as the "cursed child" has already spread throughout her school."

After hearing this, Bushicui covered her mouth with her hands, and her pink-purple eyes revealed a worried look.

For some reasons, sometimes Kisara, Rentaro and Enju would come to her house for meals. Under such circumstances, Enju and she could meet often, and over time they became friends.

However, because of the cat ears on Bushicui's head, she cannot go to school at all. I'm afraid Yanzhu has already begged Luo Mio to let Bushicui go to school with her.

"Then...Yeonju..."

"Wait a minute, I'll be out soon. I think the girl went to District 39."
