Ye Shi raised his hand to his chin and thought, his red eyes gradually revealing complex emotions.

That makes some sense...

Zero has finally recovered from her illness, and it would be too pitiful to keep her imprisoned in the church. It would be safer for her to stay by his side.

The most important thing is that Ling and Yui are now in a state of "physical connection".

As long as Ling is injured, Yu Yi will also be injured. The lives of the two are connected. If one of them dies, the other cannot escape the fate of death.

My luck has been really bad lately...

For Yuyi's safety, Ye Si could not put Ling back into the dangerous environment. Even if the possibility of an accident was only one percent, Ye Si did not have the courage to take the risk.

It might be the safest approach to manage the two together until the succubus contract is released.

"The third reason, which is also the final reason, is..."

Maria lowered her head and found that Ling was looking at Ye Shi. She saw an unprecedented special emotion in her eyes. A smile of relief appeared on the corner of her mouth and she said:

"I believe this is what Master Zero hopes for as well."

"M-Maria..."

"Is not it?"

"Woooo..."

After hearing this, Zero's little face turned red, and he covered his cheeks with his hands. The succubus tail swayed behind him like an electric fan, and he didn't know what expression to show.

She had imagined living with her teacher countless times in her mind.

However, when I was really faced with this situation, I was so nervous that I didn't dare to speak, and my heart was about to jump out of my chest.

As Maria said, she certainly looked forward to living with her teacher and Miss Yui, and no longer wanted to go back to that lonely church.

but...

(Doing this will definitely cause trouble for the teachers...)

Ling pursed his lips, clutched the hem of his clothes with his small hands, and anxiety flickered in his hazy red eyes.

Like a kitten locked in a glass cabinet in a pet shop, it slowly drooped its tail, eager to leave, but not daring to make such a willful request.

...

Gradually, the discussion came to an end.

The atmosphere becomes heated, and this will be the option that determines fate.

"One month."

Maria slowly raised a finger and suggested:

"Please, Miss Yoshito, take care of Master Ling for a month. Once Master Demon King's work is finished, Master Ling will be brought back to his side. When that time comes, Master Demon King will definitely thank you in person."

"..."

Ye Shi was a little moved.

Being able to meet the Demon King was indeed a tempting proposal, and this was also her original purpose.

It now seemed that there was really no reason to refuse this proposal, either for the safety of both of them or to keep the plan going.

However, such an important matter still requires the consent of another person.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not usually the one making the decisions about family matters."

Ye Shi spread out his hands, turned slightly sideways, looked at his girlfriend hiding behind him, and gave her the final decision.

"Hey?"

Yu Yi blinked and stood there in a daze.

She was afraid of being involved in the fight between the magical girls and the demon king's forces, so she tried not to make any noise, held her breath, and tried to reduce her presence.

But what he didn't expect was that he was still pulled out and trembled under the gaze of everyone.

what to do...

Should I agree to Miss Maria's proposal?

Is it really okay to live with the princess?

What kind of result does Ye Shi hope for?

What dish should I make for dinner?

Life in the future...

...

Yuyi's pink-haired little head was overloaded, her eyes were rolling around, and she didn't know how to make a choice.

but...

"depressed"

She noticed Zero's frustrated expression.

The look of someone wanting something but not daring to say it out loud made Yu Yi feel surprisingly familiar.

It's like looking in a mirror.

The current Ling is exactly the same as Yuyi in the past. He does not have the courage to accept the happiness given by others and is stuck in a dead end alone.

"It's really unsettling."

She remembered the words her neighbor's grandmother always said to her when she was a child.

really...

It makes people feel uneasy.

...

...

"If... you don't mind, please... come home with us."

..

Yu Yi plucked up the courage and made a choice.

Chapter 299 Waiting

...

...

"Is this really okay?"

From the beginning, Ling lowered his head, clenched his clothes with his hands, and his eyes revealed complex emotions as he kept repeating these words.

Maria is gone now.

It was said that he was going to handle some complicated official business, and left Zero here, asking Ye Shi and Yu Yi to take care of him.

It was a hot summer day and the ground in the college was so hot that it was almost hot enough to fry eggs.

Because Ling had no shoes, he couldn't walk long distances, so he could only stand under the shade of a tree with Yu Yi, waiting for Ye Shi to drive over to pick them up.

"Would it be better for me to... go back to the church..."

Surrounded by the chirping of cicadas, Ling lowered his head, stood with his legs turned inward, and looked at his dirty little feet. He felt like a bug that only brought trouble and filth.

"Master Zero, don't you like being with us?"

Yu Yi noticed Ling's mumbling, blinked, and asked with a nervous mood.

"No, no, I don't think so!"

Ling quickly shook his head, vehemently denying Yu Yi's statement, his hazy red eyes revealing anxiety:

"I'm just... worried that it will cause trouble for Sister Yuyi and the teacher..."

As she spoke, she lowered her head again, and her overly long white hair spread out on the ground, like snow in the hot summer, out of tune with this world.

After leaving the confining cage, facing the unknown world outside, Ling felt unprecedented confusion, even with a hint of fear.

She was worried that one day in the future, her teacher and sister Yuyi would abandon her after seeing her true cowardly and ignorant face.

(After all, it would be better to return to the cage...)

Zero placed his hand on his chest and muttered to himself.

Although the body has been freed, the shackles that imprisoned the heart are not so easy to be untied.

"Ha ha.."

But what he didn't find was that at this moment, he heard a light laugh.

"Hey?"

Ling was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his head, and what caught his eye was Yu Yi's smiling face.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't mocking Master Zero~"

Yu Yi half covered her lips with the back of her hand, her eyebrows curved, and her slender shoulders trembled as she tried to hold back her smile.

"Sister Yuyi..."

Ling lowered his tail, like a child who had made a mistake, with his fingers intertwined in front of his chest, looking at the other person's smiling face, not knowing what to do.

"ha...."

Yu Yi took a deep breath and suppressed her smile.

She raised her hand and gently touched the light pink hair that was blown by the warm wind under the shade of the tree. A trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, and she said:

"This may be a bit offensive, but what I want to say is... Mr. Zero is a bit like me in the past."

"Me and...Sister Yuyi?"

Zero opened his eyes wide, showing an expression of disbelief:

"How, how could it be possible!"

In her eyes, Yu Yi looks very similar to herself, but they are from two completely different worlds.

Smart, knowledgeable, gentle, brave...

The other person has everything that you don't have.

For someone he had just met, he was willing to sacrifice himself, risking the possibility of backlash from his "treatment." He was like a "saint" in a storybook.

Moreover, she is the teacher's lover.

"How can someone like me be like Sister Yuyi..."

The sunlight shines through the scattered shade of the trees and falls on Yu Yi, illuminating her adorable face like a spotlight.

Zero stood in the shadows, like the other person's shadow, a completely opposite existence.

but..

“Same.”

Yu Yi shook her head and denied Ling's idea in person. With a smile on her face, she looked at the sky in the distance and said:

“I’m afraid of causing trouble to others, afraid of accepting other people’s kindness, afraid of meeting strangers, and I often think, if only I hadn’t existed in the first place…”

"Sister Yuyi also..."

Every word in the conversation seemed like an arrow that shot directly into Zero's heart, piercing the softest part of her heart.

Perhaps it was the influence of the "Succubus Contract", but the two of them could vaguely feel each other's thoughts and resonate with each other emotionally.

"I was like this before I met Yoshito."

Yu Yi recalled her past life and an awkward smile appeared on her face.

Before she met Ye Si, she always liked to show off and keep to herself. In the end, she couldn't do anything well and ended up getting into a lot of trouble.

But luckily...

On that rainy day, she met the man destined for her.
