Abnormal month

"That... something happened a few days ago. Thank you for your help."

The two of them fell into an uncomfortable silence, and it was Toudou Qilin who spoke first.

She bowed to Julis and thanked Julis with her head down.

"Stop it, there's no need to do that. I didn't help much anyway."

Julis waved her hands awkwardly and dodged from Toudou Qilin, seemingly unwilling to accept her thanks.

"Having said that, Senior did stand up for me, so I can't pretend I didn't see it, so at least I hope Senior can accept my thanks!"

"I said I don't need it. I don't think I've done anything that requires your thanks!"

The two girls gradually raised their voices.

Toudou Qilin's face was full of anxiety, while Julis's expression was a little impatient.

Roy yawned beside him.

He glanced at the sunset glow outside the door, which had become very rich, scratched the back of his head, and raised his hand.

"I say, you two, if you keep pushing each other away, it will be dark soon. Do you still want to train?"

"Ah..."

"Yeah."

The two stopped arguing.

They looked at each other and stopped talking at the same time.

The field fell into an awkward silence again.

Can't you two chat?

Roy looked at the two, one with his head down and the other with his head turned.

It feels like these two people have personality.

It's a pity that when they meet, it's like mud pouring on fire, and no reaction can be exerted.

"Your name is Toudou Qilin, right?"

Roy thought of something he wanted to ask, so he walked forward with a smile.

"Ah, yes."

Toudou Qilin quickly turned around and bowed to Roy again.

What a polite and good kid.

These two people can chat like that, is it really because Julis's personality is too awkward?

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"My name is Roy. This is probably not the first time we've met."

"Hello, Senior Roy."

Infected by Roy's smile, Toudou Qilin couldn't help but smile a little.

"Yes, Senior Roy's move during the duel between me and Senior Julis is still fresh in my memory. It was a very accurate throw!"

Toudou Qilin exclaimed in admiration.

"Actually, that's nothing."

Roy smiled, and seeing that the atmosphere had eased, he asked the question he wanted to ask.

"By the way, the Phoenix Star Martial Festival is coming soon. Has Qilin thought about participating?"

"Qi, Qilin?"

Toudou Qilin suddenly stuttered, and her watery eyes were stained with a faint pink.

Julis also looked at Roy strangely.

According to the habit of Japanese people, they will not easily call others by their names. It is a symbol of intimacy. Generally, they call their surnames at most.

Although the Battle of the Schools City gathers Star Vein Generations from all over the world, it is located in Japan, so it still has a bit of Japanese color. At least when communicating with Japanese people, you will be shocked by the red tape of the other party.

In the eyes of Japanese people like Toudou Qilin, Roy's approach of calling her by her name right away is really very familiar.

To be frank, this is usually a practice taken by gigolos who want to quickly get close to their customers.

But the Star Martial Festival.

He would ask this, could it be...

"That... Actually I don't plan to participate..."

Toudou Qilin's petite face almost blushed to the root of her neck.

She is more shy than expected.

"Why? Don't you have a wish you want to fulfill?"

Although the little girl looked completely overwhelmed, Roy still didn't intend to let her go, but continued to ask.

"This, indeed there is."

The evasive look on Toudou Qilin's face stagnated slightly, and her eyes dimmed slightly.

"You do have a wish, what kind of wish is it?"

Roy saw that Toudou Qilin looked a little strange, so he added.

"Maybe we can help."

Julis opened her mouth.

She wanted to interrupt Roy. It was only the second time they met, and he asked such a deep question. It was just like I have a purpose written on my face. However, after saying this, she had to shut her mouth. Once she said that she wanted to help, it was difficult for her, an outsider, to interrupt.

But why did he involve her?

Julis wanted to refuse Roy's proposal and carry herself out.

But she hesitated for a moment and did not refuse immediately.

Well, if it's not a big deal, it's okay to help a little.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior, but there's nothing I can do about it... I want to save my father."

Toudou Qilin lowered her head and expressed her wish with a sad look.

In this world, the Star Vein Generation is discriminated against.

No matter which country, the Seimai generation is politically weak. If the Seimai generation commits a crime, they are usually sentenced much more severely than normal people. Even if it is just self-defense, if they accidentally cause serious injuries to others, it is also considered excessive defense.

This is the case with Toto Kirin's father.

It happened five years ago. One day when Kirin went to the bank with her father, they encountered bank robbers. At that time, Kirin was unfortunately taken hostage by the robbers.

In order to protect her, her father couldn't help but attack the robbers.

But the power of the Xingmai Generation was too strong, and her father was worried that the robbers would vent their anger on other ordinary people because his daughter was a hostage. He was so anxious that he hit the robber a little harder.

As a result, he accidentally killed the robber.

No matter who came, they would say that this was a good deed of chivalry, but Qilin's father was convicted of intentional homicide by the court and was imprisoned in a prison built specifically for locking up the Xingmai Generation. He was sentenced to several decades in a row and most likely died of old age in there.

Qilin was already eight years old at the time and was already strong enough to repel the robbers alone. As long as she was a little lighter, and she was a child who knew nothing, no one would say anything. It was just that Qilin was timid and had never experienced such a thing before, so she didn't dare to resist the robbers at all, which led to this situation.

She felt that it was her timidity that caused her father to die of old age in prison, and she has been blaming it ever since.

The reason why she came to Xuezhan City was to use the system that the champion of the Star Martial Festival could use the power of the consortium to fulfill his wish and rescue her father from prison. As long as she became the champion, with the power of the consortium, it would be easy to rescue her father.

"I see, this is indeed a problem that can only be solved by participating in the Star Martial Festival."

Roy nodded in understanding.

What Toudou Qilin needs is to have her father acquitted from a legal perspective, not just to rescue her father from prison, so even if he ran to the prison to rescue him, it would be useless.

And he is now wanted by the world, so it would be best if he could not touch the nerves of the consortium.

"In that case, why don't you participate in the Star Martial Festival? With your strength, even if you participate now, you can definitely win the championship, right?"

Roy was a little confused about this point.

After all, Toudou Qilin is the strongest person ranked first in the Star Guide Hall, and it is said that there are no powerful people participating in this Phoenix Star Martial Festival. As long as she finds a suitable teammate, it is not impossible to win the championship.

Anyway, there are three chances to participate. It is completely acceptable to use one chance to rescue my father as soon as possible, right?
