This is not the date I wanted.

"..."

Origami was confused for a moment. Although she knew Mengyue was telling the truth, she knew things were not that simple when she heard the unhappy smacking of tongue beside her.

"Itsuka Shidou, get up!"

"Yes Yes!"

Feeling the terrible pressure emanating from Tohka, Shidou quickly put Rokuko down, stood up straight, and answered.

Just when he was nervously wondering what Tohka was going to say, Tohka grabbed his collar without saying a word and pulled him into a domineering and forceful kiss.

"Well--"

"Eaaah?!"

"what……"

After a while, Shidou finally understood the situation and widened his eyes in surprise. On the other side, Origami and Mengyue, who witnessed this scene, blushed and exclaimed, while the other sighed with a wry smile.

After a long while, their lips parted. Looking at Shidao's stunned expression, Tohka sneered smugly.

"Hmph, not bad. Seeing you being so silly makes me feel better."

"Tohka..."

Looking at Tohka in front of him, Shidou was about to say something but stopped. Before he could think of the right words, Tohka let him go, and the spiritual clothes she was wearing turned into light particles and flew away with the wind.

"—let me."

Staring at Shidou's face, Tohka said so.

"Don't make Tohka sad."

Speaking of which, Tohka lost consciousness and fell to the ground like a robot that ran out of power.

Shidou quickly supported Tohka with one hand.

"Uh...huh..."

Steady breathing sounds came out of Tohka's mouth, and although her appearance hadn't changed much, the cold sharpness from before was no longer felt.

Shidao's intuition told him that the girl in front of him was the Yatogami Tohka he was familiar with.

With a sigh of relief, Shidou took off his coat and shirt and covered Rokuko and Tohka's bodies. Although they were torn, they could still cover them to some extent.

"finished……"

Looking at his injured arm, Shidou seemed to mutter to himself subconsciously while shaking his head at the devastated city around him.

"Well, it's over."

Nodding affirmatively, Mengyue looked at Shidao and smiled gently.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shidou."

————————————————————I passed the dividing line a few days ago——————————

A few days after sealing Rokuko's spiritual power, the impact of the Rokuko incident finally subsided.

Thanks to the hard work of Kotori and other employees of Fraxinus, the damaged city and suburbs have been basically restored to their original state. The cause of the disaster was attributed to the space earthquake, and the citizens of Tiangong City, who were almost accustomed to it, accepted it without too much doubt and quickly returned to their previous lives.

Everyone's memories of "Shidou" were restored to their original state after Rokuko unlocked the memory of the [lock].

Under Fraxinus' careful care, both Meng Yue, who was covered in wounds, and Shidao, whose entire arm was broken, have recovered.

Although she couldn't avoid being scolded by Kotori after her memory was restored.

As for Rokuko, after undergoing a physical examination as usual and confirming that there were no spiritual seals and physical conditions, he moved into the Elf Apartment today.

"Hello. Liu'er will be moving here today. I am deeply sorry for causing you so much trouble before. Please give me your guidance in the future."

"You're too formal, Rokuko, relax a little."

After taking the Japanese snacks brought by Rokuko, Mengyue looked at Rokuko who was standing at the door with her body tense, and couldn't help but patted her shoulder with a wry smile.

"But as far as I know, this is necessary etiquette when moving into a new home. Is there anything wrong with what you did, Liu'er?"

Rokuko looked at Mengyue with some uneasiness.

"Hmm...it doesn't seem to be anything wrong. Well, as long as you think it's okay. We'll be a family from now on, so if you have any problems, just feel free to ask me."

Hearing Mengyue's answer, Liu Ku's expression suddenly brightened.

"Yes, Liu'er knows! Thank you, Sister Mengyue!"

"sister……"

Meng Yue's expression suddenly froze.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Sister Mengyue?"

Rokuko tilted his head in confusion.

"fine."

Mengyue shook her head with a wry smile.

(This child's self-pacing is still so unique.)

Although she knew in her heart that it was impossible, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when she heard Rokuko call her "sister" instead of "brother".

(Well, it’s better than calling mom…)

Helplessly comforting herself in her heart, Meng Yue took a deep breath and adjusted her mood.

"By the way, since you're here, would you like to come in and sit down? You can have some tea or some drinks if you want."

In response to Mengyue's invitation, Rokuko hesitated for a moment and then shook his head slightly.

"Thank you, Sister Mengyue. But Liu'er still has to visit other people, so it's inconvenient for me to stay too long again."

"Is that so?" Seeing Rokuko holding a bag full of snacks, Meng Yue nodded in understanding. "Don't be too nervous. We are not bad people. Just relax and be natural."

"Well, Liu'er will do his best."

After clenching his fists slightly to encourage himself, Rokuko bowed slightly to Mengyue, then turned and left.

(A surprisingly polite child.)

Looking at Rokuko leaving, and then looking at the snacks in her hand, Meng Yue couldn't help but sigh. What's the point of greeting someone for moving? No elf in this apartment has ever done that.

Just when Mengyue was about to go back to her room to continue playing games, Lingyin suddenly appeared in the corridor.

"Meng Yue... did you see Rokuko... after he took her to the room to explain things... he suddenly said he had something to do and left..."

"Ah, Rokuko has just been here. She should be with Tohka or Yoshino on the fourth floor now."

"learn……"

After telling her that she was going to look for other elves, Lingyin nodded and turned around to look for Rokuko.

"Lingyin!"

At this moment, Mengyue suddenly called Lingyin.

"What's up……"

Ling Yin stopped and asked in a sleepy tone without looking back.

"Rokuko has already told me and Kotori about his transformation into an elf. It seems that when he ran away from home due to a conflict with his family, he was given a spirit crystal by the 'Phantom' and became an elf. He wanted to use an angel to solve the problem, but it only exacerbated the conflict. In the end, he could only seal his memory and drift alone in the universe."

"I see... an unfortunate accident..."

"Yes."

Staring at Lingyin's back, Mengyue complained with dissatisfaction,

"What on earth was Phantom thinking about, letting a child whose mind is not yet mature gain such dangerous power? If Rokuko hadn't become an elf, perhaps her sister would have found her, and the two of them would have had a little quarrel at most, and then would have smiled and reconciled. Then, she would have grown up slowly under the guidance of her parents and learned how to get along with others."

"Yeah... maybe you're right..."

Without denying Mengyue's words, Lingyin nodded and walked into the elevator.

"Maybe... the 'Phantom' at that time... was just a child..."

(Children?)

Carefully savoring the words Lingyin left behind, Mengyue stared at the ceiling for a long time and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

(Well, I can’t help but pursue this meaningless if, maybe I’m still just a child.)

PS: The plot I want to write cannot be completed in one chapter, so the finished part will be put in the next chapter.

42 Just Yelling

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

Sunday, January 15th.

With a little uneasiness and nervousness, Gokawa Shidao came to the door of Room 214 of the Elf Apartment - Mengyue's room.

"Okay, keep it natural—"

Taking a deep breath, Shidou raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"It's me, Shidou. Is Mengyue free now?"

"Oh, wait a minute."

Mengyue didn't let Shidao wait long. Soon, the electronic lock of the door made an unlocking sound, and Mengyue, wearing only a thin vest and shorts, walked out.

"Want to come in?"

"No, no need."

Shidou looked away awkwardly. As the vest covered little area, a large area of ​​smooth skin was exposed to Shidou's eyes, not to mention the slender limbs, the tender flesh at the root of the thighs and the side peaks of the chest could be faintly seen through the gaps in the clothes, exuding an indescribable lazy and sexy beauty, making Shidou a little unsure where to put his eyes.

"I just have something to say to you, and I'll leave right after I finish speaking."

"Eh……"

After looking at Shidou thoughtfully for a while, Mengyue nodded readily.

"That's right, I have something to tell you. In that case, how about going for a walk? We can talk while we walk."

"Eh? Well...I'm fine."

Shidou couldn't help but be stunned. Although he was a little confused, he nodded without objection.

(By the way, is this an invitation for a date?)

"This is not a date." Meng Yue helplessly corrected, as if seeing through Shidou's thoughts, "It's just a walk around the neighborhood. Thinking of everything as a date, Shidou, your thinking is not good. If you keep going like this, one day when you are chatting with the old lady in her seventies or eighties next door, you will not be able to help but think, 'This can also be considered a date.' Then, under such self-suggestion, you may accidentally develop a liking for her and fall in love. It is also possible."

"No, no, no! No matter what, this is impossible!"

Hearing Mengyue's words, Shidao's face was immediately filled with black lines, and he quickly waved his hands to deny it.

Seeing Shidao's reaction, Mengyue couldn't help but chuckle.

"Well, it's just a little joke. Wait for me for a moment, I'll go change my clothes."

As if she knew that her clothes were not suitable for going out, Mengyue closed the door and went to change clothes.

I have to say, this was completely different from Shidao's impression that women usually had to take a long time to prepare for changing clothes. In less than two minutes, Mengyue had changed her clothes and walked out.

"It's so fast."

Shidao couldn't help but take a few curious glances. Meng Yue was wearing a pair of ordinary black sneakers, black thick jeans, and a pure white shirt with a few flying birds embroidered on both sides of the waist. Although the clothes were very simple, they unexpectedly gave people a refreshing and handsome feeling.

"Well, after all, it's just a matter of taking out two pieces of clothing from the closet and putting them on, so of course it's fast."

Meng Yue shrugged and said.

"Didn't you change the vest you were wearing before?"

Shidou asked with some curiosity.

"Well, it is underwear after all."

"Eh?"

Shidou was stunned.

"Hmm...it seems to be called a vest underwear. When Kotori-chan and Reine dragged me to buy daily necessities, I was forced to buy a bra. But it was troublesome to wear, and I heard that it was difficult to wash. I asked the waitress if there was any more convenient style, and she recommended this one to me."
