Hikawa Sayo, who is an important DPS in the team battle between Afterglow and Roselia, said so.
"Yukina, don't you think he looks a bit like your father?"
"...resemble it?"
Yukina compared the Mitakemei she had just met with her father in her mind, and found that apart from the fact that they both had inconspicuous black hair, were usually serious and reserved, and liked to wear dark colors like gray and black, there weren't many other similarities...
Speaking of the above characteristics, ordinary people are also the same. Are all reliable men in the world made from the same template?
Chapter 76: Senior, come and play~
Apparently, Hirayuki's words had hurt Meganelu's feelings, and for the next two days, he didn't "randomly" run into his former best friend again. But life had to go on, and after giving the ten members of Afterglow and Roselia a day off, spending time at the beach, camping, and having BBQs, Hirayuki finally had some time—
During the day, she does needlework to practice her skills, at noon, she helps to set up the venue, in the afternoon, she arrives on time to supervise the work, and after finishing work in the evening, she goes home and works overtime until late at night to write a book. The main point is: "You have no idea how terrifying self-disciplined people are."
"But I really didn't expect to meet you here."
"What are you talking about? Zhu Yin is the master's maid. How can a maid not be with the master?"
Well, you're right... But could you please not wear a maid outfit and yell "Master" in front of so many people at the summer festival?! Although this wasn't the first time he'd been teased by a scheming maid, it still made him nervous.
Asuna and Karin were avoiding him for some reason, and Nel hadn't contacted him for two days because of their previous argument. Of the four familiar people, only Akane remained by his side.
In fact, Zhu Yin came to his house from the second day of summer vacation to start the so-called maid training. However, because it would be troublesome for those children to see a classmate wearing a maid outfit, Heishin ordered her not to appear in front of them.
As a maid, Zhu Yin completely obeys the orders of her master and the dispatch of her boss, "Maid Head Alpha". Every day, she accepts the schedule like everyone else, completes the tasks, and does them better and better. If it weren't for Ping Xin occasionally teasing her, she would look like a maid fanatic who came here to work out of interest.
"I think I understand... You've also taken time off to come here for the 20160 fireworks display on the final day, right? If I were to go further... could it be that Master Yanyu will also be participating in this fireworks display?"
"Puff~Puff~" Murokasa Akane made an incorrect sound.
"It's a pity that the wine lover didn't come here this time. The only one who came here was a little maid who was responsible for helping out."
"I didn't expect you to graduate so quickly. It's truly remarkable... no, even astonishing. It's clear your mind was completely different when you were studying. Is this what they call 'interest is the best teacher'?"
"When a man has been away for three days, he should be treated with new eyes. The same applies to maids~"
What a meaningless answer... But she must have put in a lot of effort in areas that I don't know about. After her efforts, she got the recognition from her teacher and was even able to personally participate in the career she loves. This should be a good reward for her, right?
"The fireworks after that... I'll be looking forward to it."
"Yes, it's my honor~!"
"..."
No, aren't you leaving yet?
Logically speaking, after this kind of atmosphere, shouldn't everyone just move on and do their own thing? Why are you still following me?
He glanced at the new maid following him, who was smiling mysteriously. He felt a little nervous. "I'm not a Wallfacer, why are you smiling at me like that?"
It's super scary, okay!
But there was no way to get rid of them, and his instincts told him that if he did, something bad would happen. So, this pairing of a man and a woman, one in front, one behind, one master and one servant, attracted a lot of attention during the last day of the event, when the crowds were at their peak. Many tourists even tried to take photos and post them online, but were stopped by the plainclothes shadow maids who appeared out of nowhere.
“…Speaking of which—”
"Ok!"
"...Is it my imagination? I always feel like you're so excited, Zhu Yin?"
"After all, without the master, the maid is just cosplay, so it's natural for the maid to feel happy, excited, and her heart to beat fast when she is with her master!"
"Hmm..Oh...well, I think I understand."
In fact, I don't understand at all↑
"Um...Azune, do you know what Asuna and Karin have been doing lately?"
After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked the question.
"Ah~, they... don't know anything at all~"
"Um...huh? Akane, I thought you two weren't friends?"
Is he trying to hide it? He'd be fine with just saying he didn't want to tell Ping Xin, so why resort to deception...?
"Friends aren't meant to be together every minute of every day. If that's how you think of friends, then perhaps they should be called family or something closer. Besides, 'If they were friends, you'd understand,' if you think that way, then shouldn't you know it best?"
"I see... Sorry, I don't really understand this kind of thing. After all, I don't have many friends."
Ping Xin frankly admitted his mistakes. As long as he accepts his weakness, he will be invincible!
"It seems so... It's okay, everyone knows that you are a taciturn, quiet and a bit lonely person~" Murokasa Akane pushed her glasses and gave a smile whose meaning he couldn't understand.
goo—
Although what I said is true, but there should be high emotional intelligence here, right? And there is no maid like you who backstabs her master every day for fun!
The two of them walked side by side in the festival venue, maintaining a consistent pace even without paying special attention.
"Master, let's go over there and take a look~"
"Anyway, stop calling me that...at least don't shout it so loudly!"
"Ahahaha——dah~"
Maybe what I want is not friends or lovers, but family... or even something above that, Ping Xin thought.
......
...
..
"...Little Nilu, are you unhappy?"
Meganelle shook her head. She looked more like a lost child than happy or unhappy. Seeing her daughter curled up in bed, looking lost, Sakurai Sakurafuki felt a pang of sadness in her mother's heart.
"Okay - when you're unhappy, you should go out and have fun instead of staying at home. Come out and play with me on this rare weekend!"
"..."
"If you don't want to go out with mom and...uncle, how about going out with your friends, like those girls you mentioned before, or the one you met last night—"
"..."
She did, but she didn't want to go. Even though she seemed to have Hirayuko's approval at the time, it didn't change the fact that Hirayuko still had a low opinion of her now. Adolescents are sensitive and fragile, and even if they didn't feel anything at the time, they'd still feel sad every time they thought about her at night.
"Senior Nilu, come down and play~"
"Ah, your friends are here to play with you, Nilu. That's great!"
Who would it be at this time?
"Senior Little One, if you don't come down quickly, I'm going to go up there myself~"
It's you, huh?
By the way, what are you doing, Asuka Matoki!
Chapter 77 This time it was really an accidental encounter
When people are afraid, they often say calmly that they will leave it to fate, but when the coin is tossed, the answer will naturally emerge in their hearts.
Love is the greatest power in the world. It can make people fearless, powerful, and strong, but it can also make people fearful, powerless, and weak. Love is an uncontrollable variable, not even the owner of the heart can fully control it, but as long as you meet the right person, it will naturally emerge no matter what.
After an in-depth discussion, Meganelu finally understood her feelings with the help of her mother Sakura Fubuki, her friend (crossed out), her rival (crossed out), and her sister (without her consent) Asuka Matoki. This time, she would not wait foolishly.
Don't even ask how they communicate. If men can understand each other through physical combat, then women can too. That's true gender equality! Competing in online games and physical combat offline is essential. That's what's considered healthy!
It can only be said that it is a real loss that such a precious scene of continuous fighting for more than a day and a night was not recorded, especially for those who like to watch women fight.
"..."
"...Yo~ What's wrong, Ping Xin? Are you surprised to see me?"
On August 2016, 8, the last day of the summer festival, Ping Xin and Nel met——
"Nothing... No, it's still a bit unexpected... What's wrong with your face? And the way you walk... Did your stepfather do something?"
Although Meganelle previously surpassed most people in agility, reflexes, and combat instincts, she was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of weight. After being strengthened by the Ripple Qigong and scientifically trained as a combat maid, she has become a top-tier master in the world, although her abilities are limited to hand-to-hand combat and shooting.
To be able to beat Nel, who possessed a highly resilient wave power, so badly without her getting angry, the only possibility, in his opinion, was that she was being assaulted without resistance. Excluding her mother, Aunt Sakura Fubuki, the only possible suspect was naturally her stepfather, Sakurai.
"No, no, no, how is that possible? That man is exhausted from dealing with my mom day and night. How could he have the energy to do something like this? Besides, there's no way he can beat me~"
From Ping Xin's perspective, she wasn't lying.
"...Since you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. But if you encounter anything you are unsure about, you must come to me. Got it?"
"Okay, okay, so I came to find you~"
"That's it..."
He had something to ask him, but he wouldn't say anything? Could it be related to some superpowered being, demon, ghost, or even a system or a god? Perhaps he should consider asking a few of the "masters" he'd found recently to take a look. If that didn't work, he'd have to do it himself.
"That's right. I just thought I might run into you while I was out for a walk, and I actually did. It seems I'm pretty lucky~... although not as lucky as Asuna."
"That's nothing. I can't compare to her. It's better to ask, is there anyone in this world whose luck can compare to Asuna's? If there is, I would call her the strongest."
"That's true... Let's go, I want to take a look around. The last time I came here, I was always following behind them, which made it inconvenient to do anything. Today, I can have fun!"
"Well, let's go—"
If they didn't want to talk about it until the last moment, Ping Xin wouldn't ask. Just like he didn't ask why Nilu was injured, why her hair was suddenly cut off, why she appeared in front of him as if nothing had happened after the previous unpleasantness.
"Pingxin, look, it's apple candy. Would you like one?"
"Well, let's have one then."
"Pingxin, look, it's scooping up goldfish. Do you want to try it?"
"Okay, let's play for a bit."
"Look, it's a target shooting game. Do you want to play?"
"I'm good with that, so let's have a go."
"Ping Xin—Did you really...tell the truth?"
"I have no idea."
Sitting on the grassy slope, Pingxin and Nilu sat together. Between them, they placed their newly purchased food, drinks, and toys. They watched the lively festival together, their voices the only discordant in the jubilant atmosphere. Even as the crowd around them raged like a tornado, their presence felt as calm as if they were sitting in the eye of the storm.
"Is that so... then have you ever lied to me?"
"No."
"Then why don't you tell the truth..."
Ping Xin has always been a rigorous person. He never says anything absolutely, always understands the situation before taking action, and will not act rashly even if he has an 8% chance of winning.
"First...what is the definition of truth?
If I meet a girl and I think she has a great figure, is very pretty, and is simply very horny, and I want to have sex with her, does that count as genuine? If I say it directly, I might get reported for harassment, but if I conceal my intentions and simply compliment her on her looks, does that count? And…"
Pingxin was talking, Nilu was listening. One person was rambling, the other was listening silently. The examples given were never the point; Pingxin was trying to provide an answer, while Nilu was waiting for one.
"...To sum up, if this is all that was going on, then I definitely didn't reveal everything I said, but everything I said was true. While the context might change the perspective, given the circumstances at the time, I shouldn't have been lying... But just saying that doesn't seem very credible, does it?"
"Um... so have you ever lied to me?"
"I have no idea."
"do not know?"
I just gave such a long speech?!
“…Although I like to think and often force myself to think, when I get along with some people, I may not be that smart, not that…brained.
That is, I might have said something without thinking, and some of it was objectively "sincere." But there were certainly some things I said that were driven by feelings that only I could understand at that moment. Those "truths" I said at that moment, driven by certain emotions, might have been just a momentary impulse, or they might have been a true heart I hadn't even realized. So—
I can’t give any guarantees.”
“…Puff——”
Meganelle laughed out loud.
"Ping Xin, you...really are an interesting person. Most people would try to comfort a girl and calm her down first, but you're just going on this long tirade and then just saying 'I don't know' at the end."
