This is not the date I wanted.

Nanashi felt so surprised that she was speechless. Although she always felt that there must be a huge organization behind Shidao supporting him, she didn't expect that all the people in this organization were idiots.

(Everyone: --Ha Qiu!)

[Is saving the elves...real?]

[Although I also felt very suspicious when I first heard it, I regret to tell you the truth. ]

【Wait a mininute……】

After receiving a bunch of completely unexpected information in one breath, Nanashi couldn't help but hold his head with a headache, took a long, deep breath, and tried to digest it.

When the spacequake occurred, Shido Gokawa was not a citizen who did not have time to evacuate, nor was he a cute bystander passing by, but he appeared specifically to meet Nana Sin.

[Wait. Could it be that Gokawa Shido discovered my true identity on purpose...]

[That's just your misunderstanding. No matter how stupid Shidou is, he wouldn't deliberately go to such trouble. ]

Mengyue nipped Qi Sins's wild thoughts in the bud without hesitation.

[You really like Shidou...]

Qiqi couldn't help but sigh.

Whenever she talks about Gokawa Shido, the girl is basically insulting him, but in fact, whether it was to prevent Shido from getting his reputation ruined because of a prank, or to stay here to watch over him now because she is worried that he will take revenge on her, the girl's actions are all to protect that boy from getting hurt.

[Yes, because Shidou is my favorite and most important family member. ]

Upon seeing this news, Nanashi quietly pulled the quilt a little and looked outside, and saw the girl smiling happily and warmly.

Then, for some reason, Nanashi felt a little envious of Mengyue who could smile like that.

【Hey...Liang Yi Meng Yue. 】

【What? 】

【What do you think of my true self? 】

[It's not that ugly. As long as you dress up well, you will be cute. You know it in your heart.]

[Are you angry that I'm bothering Gokawa Shido for this kind of thing? Do you think I'm being unreasonable? ]

[I'm not angry. I'd rather say thank you for letting me take some nice photos. As for the latter question, I don't think you did anything wrong. I was almost shot dead because I ran into a girl playing with a cat in an alley. I can only say that everyone has secrets that they don't want others to know.]

(Kyouzo: "Ha Qiu!")

【Yeah……】

Nanashi exhaled slowly, with a look of relief on his face.

It was unknown whether it was because they were not talking directly, or because he knew that Liang Yi Meng Yue's answers were very objective. Incredibly, Qi Zui did not have the slightest doubt about Meng Yue's answer.

[By the way, let me ask you a question, Seven Sins.]

【What? 】

[What are you going to do next? ]

Meng Yue's words left Qi Zui speechless for a moment. However, before Qi Zui could reply, Meng Yue continued to type on the keyboard.

[If you want to leave here, I won't stop you as long as you stop interfering with Shidao's life. You are free to go wherever you want. But if you want to stay here. I don't mind having a family member with the same interests as you.]

"I……"

Leave? Stay?

The answer had already been beyond doubt, but for some reason, Nanashi felt confused at this moment.

【……I have no idea.】

"Yeah……"

After Meng Yue whispered softly, suddenly, her quilt was forcefully pulled away.

"Then let's put this question aside for now! Next, go take a shower quickly."

"Why did the topic suddenly change to this!? No, taking a shower is too troublesome! I still want to continue playing games!"

Nanashi clutched her bed sheet tightly and shouted unreasonably.

"Nonsense. I don't know anything about makeup, but daily cleansing is the basis for staying beautiful! Then take a shower, brush your teeth and wash your face! Get ready for bed."

"Are you my mom?!"

Snapped--!

The next moment, a paper fan fell from the sky, telling Nanashi, who was about to enter the bathroom in a few minutes, that Meng Yue was going to have a good time.

Mom is NG.

20 Seven Sins' Choice

==============================

The morning came with the sunlight shining from the horizon. With the baptism of the sunlight, people woke up from their deep sleep.

“Huh… Uh…”

So naturally, Seven Sins, who was in the underground facility at this time, was sleeping soundly in his bed.

Ring ring ring ring——

"Well--"

The uninvited guest that disturbed his sleep began to make noises in his ears. Nanashi, who was sleeping, frowned slightly and climbed out of the bed with some unhappiness.

"Ha... that damn morning has come again."

The drowsiness that had not yet faded away filled Nanashi with negative emotions.

Last night, after being forced by Mengyue to take a shower, Qizui lay back on bed, but after seeing Mengyue take out another game and start playing it, he finally couldn't help himself and stayed up late to play the game with Liangyi Mengyue.

Nanashi still vaguely remembered that after the other party carried her back to the bed and covered her with the sheets, he returned to his seat and started playing games.

"But today I was woken up by the alarm clock. That's really strange."

In the past few days, the girl always stayed up late after she fell asleep. But she always woke up before Nanashi. To be honest, Nanashi once regarded Mengyue as a monster who didn't need to sleep.

With a puzzled look, Qi Shi looked around. The girl's figure had disappeared in the room. On the contrary, the prepared breakfast was already placed on the dining table. A note was pressed under the bowl and chopsticks.

[I have something I have to do, so I’m leaving now. I should be back in the afternoon. Lunch is already in the refrigerator (Note: remember to brush your teeth and wash your face before eating.)]

...Is it really my mother?

"Afternoon?"

Nanashi scratched his hair, sighed lazily, went to the bathroom to wash up, changed into casual clothes, and started to eat.

"good to eat……"

After taking a sip of the hot miso soup, the salmon, tamagoyaki and rice were still so delicious. It was obvious that the other party must have started preparing it early in the morning.

"That guy will definitely die early..."

With a little reluctance, Nanashi muttered softly.

After finishing breakfast, Nanashi threw the dishes into the sink and then slowly stretched.

"I'm done eating. Let's go play some games next. I haven't played the new copy of yesterday's lock-picking yet."

As he spoke, Nanashi lay limply on the bed sheets, picked up his PSV, and started playing the game with great relish.

……

…………

………………

“This isn’t right, aa ...

Nanashi suddenly threw the PSV to the ground.

"What happened, Seven Sins? After waiting for the surveillance to be relaxed, why didn't you flee from here first, but went to play the map you didn't clear yesterday!!!"

He rubbed his hair vigorously and blamed himself desperately.

At first, I was just playing it to kill time because I was bored while waiting for the opportunity to escape. However, after just two days, I had lost track of priorities and became addicted to the game.

"Could it be that……"

In an instant, a very terrible possibility occurred to Nanashi's mind.

Deliberately play games in front of yourself → make yourself curious about the games when you have nothing to do → be invited to play games together → become addicted to the games → become a completely hopeless otaku, and then you can be bullied by others.

What a terrible plan.

Realizing that he had fallen into the enemy's trap without knowing it, Qi Zui couldn't help but feel terrified by Liang Yi Meng Yue's sinister scheme.

"Quick, hurry up and escape from here..."

[If you want to leave here, as long as you stop interfering with Shidao's life, I won't stop you. You are free to go wherever you want. But if you want to stay here. I don't mind having a family member with the same interests as you.]

Thinking back to what the girl said to him yesterday, Nanashi's overworked mind cooled down as if a can of cold water had been poured over it.

"...Idiot...me?"

After lowering his shoulders and taking a long sigh, Nanashi couldn't help but mutter to himself with some self-loathing.

Picking up the PSV on the ground, wiping off the dirt and dust on it, Qi Sin put it away as a treasure.

If it was yesterday, Qi Zui might have really misinterpreted the other party's actions as malicious and blackmailed him all the way. But last night, after talking with Meng Yue, Qi Zui knew that the other party was not someone who would have such a malicious idea.

Although he seems cold and casual, he is actually more considerate and gentle than anyone else.

If you think about it carefully, the reason why the other party is against you is just to protect your family's reputation from being damaged because of your revenge.

And for the sake of myself, I spent a full three days trying to get in touch with myself and communicate.

Why did Mengyue leave today? Was it because she finally got impatient? Or did she feel that there was no room for communication and gave up?

Qizai knew very well that this was the choice given to him by Mengyue.

Stay? Or leave?

If it was three days ago, Nanashi would probably have chosen the latter without any hesitation.

However, I have to admit that one thing, just one thing, Nana Sin yearned for what Mengyue said, that Shidou wanted the elves to live a peaceful life.

"..."

After some thought, Nanashi decided to leave.

She used the power of the fake witch to make a hole in the bed, and then used a rag doll to change into her own image and placed it on the bed with the hole. She then sneaked under the bed and used the angel to open a passage on the floor and came out of the room.

Meng Yue just wanted to protect her family, and Shidao was a fool so he didn't think twice when saving people. Maybe there are people in the world who really give to others without asking for anything in return. But this is only a minority, and there are also many people who are really angry about Nana Sin's pranks and hate Nana Sin.

Moreover, it seems unreasonable for a huge organization to act for such a pure and unprofitable purpose.

In the final analysis, whether it was Shidou's idea of ​​"letting the elves live a normal life" or the idea of ​​"saving the elves" advocated by the organization Ratatoskr, all of them were one-sided words from Meng Yue, and although he didn't think that the other party was fooling him, Nana Sin couldn't believe it so easily.

and so--

"Haniel (Fake Witch)"

The mirror in her hand emitted a faint glow that surrounded the Seven Sins. A few minutes later, Seven Sins turned into a girl wearing a crimson military uniform and twin ponytails tied with a black hairband.

“…I have to confirm it myself.”

Holding the extra-good lollipop that the fake witch had conjured up, Qi Shiin took a deep breath and whispered to himself.

To be honest, Nanashi didn't hate the life with Mengyue these days. If Gokawa Shidao really wanted to live a normal life, it was not impossible for her to accept it.

But if all this is just sweet talk made up to deceive yourself, perhaps the moment the other party reveals it, you will probably fall into bottomless despair.

Therefore, Qi Zui had to use his own eyes to confirm everything Meng Yue said.

After silently encouraging herself, Nanashi transformed into Kotori Itsuka and strolled in the corridor of the underground facility.
