Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

And finally——

"She fainted while sitting there."

"It's reasonable, alright."

60. I am already very conservative

When Himeragi Setsuna came to her senses, Sieg and Asagi had already finished their ramen, and the bowl of ramen in front of her had turned into a big lump.

After adding some water to make the ramen edible again, Himeragi Setsuna ate the ramen slowly, one bite at a time, with somewhat stiff movements.

Sieg and Asagi didn't bother her, they just watched her eat slowly.

After finishing the noodles and leaving the store——

"So, I am now Sieg-senpai's girlfriend... or lover?"

"Is this the first thing you said after you finally recovered?"

On the streets of Genkami Island at around seven in the evening.

Sieg, who was walking in front, heard Himeragi Yukina suddenly say this, and immediately turned around and rolled his eyes: "You just accept it like that?"

"...To be honest, I feel more disbelief and surprise than whether I can accept it." Himeragi Yukina tightly grasped the strap of the guitar case. "I am an orphan. The Lion King Organization took me in and taught me how to fight demons and other knowledge. I have long been prepared to become a sword wizard and work for the Lion King Organization."

It's the same this time.

Although she was a little concerned about why the task of [monitoring the world's most vicious terrorists] fell on the shoulders of an apprentice sword wizard like herself, but since she had been given the task, Himeragi Setsuna came to carry it out with a serious attitude.

However, Yashahime's letter directly pointed out the nature of this mission.

Surveillance?

Weird.

The Lion King Agency is equivalent to giving her to Sieg!

The letter made it very clear. Because they were afraid of Sieg's abnormal fighting ability, the Lion King Organization hoped to win him over through various constraints rather than destroy him. Himeragi Setsuna was one of the [constraints] - just like the princesses sent to marry into the enemy country in ancient times.

Or it would be more appropriate to say hostages.

The organization that raised her actually treats her like this. If you ask if Himeragi Setsuna is dissatisfied in her heart, the answer is definitely yes, but apart from dissatisfaction, she also knows that she can only accept this arrangement. After all, everything she has was given by the Lion King Organization, and now it is her turn to repay the kindness of raising her.

"Although I don't have much confidence, I will try my best to be a girlfriend that can satisfy you, so please give me your guidance in the future!"

After saying that, Himeragi Setsuna bowed 90 degrees towards Sieg.

This sudden speech immediately attracted the attention of all the passers-by around!

"What? What's going on?"

"Openly confessing your feelings? You are indeed a young man."

"But isn't there someone following that kid?"

"Two-timing? Sure."

“It’s really unbearable…”

For a while, sounds like this rang out one after another.

Just as Sieg was about to say something, Asagi beside him spoke first: "That's great, Sieg, you found such a beautiful and lovely junior high school girlfriend."

"Light onion?"

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Sieg felt that something was wrong with Asan's voice. It was a lot colder and more aggressive than usual.

"You're angry?"

"No, why should I be angry? Then I won't disturb your date with your girlfriend. Bye~~~ Ah, I will delete the world history report when I get back."

"Wait wait wait! What terrifying things are you talking about!"

Sieg couldn't calm down immediately and hurried forward to grab Asagi's hand.

But after taking a look at the people watching the excitement, Sieg paused for a moment, then grabbed both Asagi and Himeragi Setsuna by the shoulders at the same time, and then -

"Speak somewhere else!"

"Eh?"

"what?"

Amid the screams of the two girls, a gust of strong wind carried the three of them directly into the sky!

The crowd around them reacted strongly, and they took out their phones to take pictures! I'm sure that within half an hour, a lot of news will appear on the Internet.

But Sieg doesn't have the time to care about this right now.

After riding the strong wind all the way to the port warehouse area in the western part of Gengami Island, he brought the two of them down to the ground.

"That's about enough for here...are you two okay?"

"I'm about to throw up the ramen I just ate."

Asagi glared at Sieg with eyes full of silent dissatisfaction, but Himeragi Yukina quickly recovered: "I'm fine... But Sieg-senpai, it's not good for you to use magic on the street like this, right?"

"It's better than being surrounded and watched like a monkey."

Sieg sat down on a short stone pillar on the shore and sighed slightly: "Ji Hiiragi, can you contact the Lion King Agency?"

"This... I'm not sure if I can get in touch with him, although I do have contact information."

"Then try to contact them first and see if you can get rid of this mission. Although it's Sister Ning Yin's idea, I'm not ready to find a girlfriend yet."

Not planning on finding a girlfriend?

Sieg's words made the two frown immediately, and Himeragi Yukina said bluntly: "Senior, are you dissatisfied with me?"

"We just met, what's there to be satisfied or dissatisfied about? It's just that I simply have no interest in that aspect. Besides - someone suddenly appeared and said he wanted to be my girlfriend. Do you think this is something that can be accepted?"

"Well... indeed. I'm sorry, I was negligent." Himeragi Yukina then realized her own immaturity. "So, Senior, you mean that I should discuss the content of the mission with the organization first, right?"

"I guess so. You'd better think about it again. Although I'm not interested, I know that for girls, relationships are very important. Don't just become someone's significant other just to carry out the mission. Cherish yourself more."

Sieg scolded one sentence after another.

After being taught a lesson, Himeragi Yukina lowered her head and fell into deep thought. It was not until a long time later that she raised her head again: "I...I understand, Senior. Then please excuse me while I leave first. I...I will come to see you tomorrow!"

Having said that, Himeragi Setsuna turned around and left with her guitar case on her back.

"You'd better not come here again..."

Watching her leaving, Sieg sighed helplessly, "Are the Lion King Agency crazy? I didn't provoke them, but they took the initiative to provoke me. Sister Ningyin is the same, she actually joined in the fun... By the way! Asagi, please don't delete the world history report!"

“…I won’t delete it.”

Glancing at Sieg's worried look, Qian Cong breathed a sigh of relief: "I was just joking - are you really not interested in finding a girlfriend?"

"Ah? Well, indeed not."

"why?"

"No reason, I'm just not interested." Sieg looked towards the sea. "After all, is a title like [girlfriend] really important? As long as the relationship reaches a certain level, we can get together naturally even without such a title, right? So I don't understand why we are in such a hurry to find a girlfriend."

(Naturally?)

Asagi showed a thoughtful expression: "You think so... Yeah, okay."

"Hmm? What's good?"

"It's nothing. Let's go back. You brought me so far away. You must send me home safely."

"We live together, right? What makes us neighbors?"

"Hmph~~~"

For some reason, Qian Cong snorted with some pride: "Let me ask you again, if that kid comes to you tomorrow and says she wants to be your girlfriend, what are you going to do?"

"Hmm... go to the mainland and blow up the Lion King machine?"

"...Can't you use a more conservative approach?"

“I’m already pretty conservative.”

61. Six years have passed since the ten-year agreement

September 1st, the first school day after summer vacation.

Although it is a high school, Caihai Academy does not actually have an opening ceremony. After the slightly longer class meeting, classes will resume as usual as scheduled.

In the classroom shortly before the class meeting started, Zieg had just put down his schoolbag when a stack of papers was slammed onto his desk by someone.

"Here, your world history report."

Unlike yesterday's casual clothes, Lan Yu Qiancong, who had changed into a high school uniform today, smiled and said, "Remember to treat me to a meal later to repay this favor."

"Then you can come to my house for dinner tonight?" Sieg accepted the world history report. "It just so happens that you can go to the supermarket with me to buy groceries after school. It's my turn today. - Is that okay, Daohua?"

"Yeah, sure."

Dongtang Daohua, who was sitting next to Sieg, nodded slightly: "However, the world history report... I was wondering why you were not at home the whole day yesterday. So you went to copy homework again?"

"Uh!"

Feeling Toudou Daohua's slightly sharp gaze, Sieg's body trembled slightly, and he quickly stuffed the world history report into his desk: "It counts, it counts, but it can't be said to be copying homework, it should be said... exchange and reference?"

Being able to describe copying homework as communication and reference, I have to admit that Zig's associative ability has indeed improved a lot.

"Isn't that still just copying homework? Don't try to deny it." Dao Hua reached out and knocked on Zig's head. "But after hearing what you said, I feel like you have really changed a lot."

"Ok?"

"You never said such things before. You would just openly admit that you copied the homework... It seems that you have finally gotten used to being a student."

Are you used to being a student?

Sieg himself didn't have this feeling, but after all, he had been in school for several years and had learned everything he should and shouldn't learn. It was natural for him to have such a change, right?

“Is this a good change?”

"At least you are easier to get along with now than the inflexible you before. What do you think?"

"Um~~~~"

Lan Yu Qiancong propped up her face with one hand and looked at Zig carefully: "I don't know what he was like before, but it seems that there is no change? Anyway, I can't feel it. Maybe Daohua, you are with him every day, so you are more familiar with him?"

"If you really want to say it, aren't you the same?"

"Oh? Are we already singing praises of youth on the first day of the new semester?"

As soon as Touka finished speaking, Motoki Yaze's unremarkable voice sounded from behind the three of them - Sieg, Touka and Asagi were sitting in a row, while Motoki and Akatsuki Kojou, who had not yet arrived, were sitting in the row behind the three of them.

Putting down his schoolbag, Jishu came to Zig and said, "You are really lucky to be surrounded by two girls so early in the morning."

"Really? I don't feel anything."

"That's right~~~~Speaking of which, I have something good here, do you want to take a look?"

Motoki Yase suddenly looked a little excited.

Zieg frowned. "What good stuff? Did you get any secret intelligence about terrorist attacks through official channels?"

"How is that possible? It's something that all of us men like very much~~~"

Taking out his cell phone, Motoki held up a photo that was obviously taken secretly in front of Zig: "Look, I heard that this is a transfer student from junior high school who just transferred in today. Isn't she cute?"

"...Isn't this Hime Hiiragi?"

Sieg recognized the cute girl in the photo—it was clearly Himeragi Setsuna, whom he had just met yesterday.

Qian Cong and Dao Hua also came over.

"Ah, it's the one from yesterday... Is she still on the island?"
