In the dead of night, the footsteps of the two people echoed clearly.

It's just that, a little different from before, there is also a girl's soft humming voice.

She seemed to be in a good mood.

Listening to the nice soft humming sound in his ears, Xia Zhi thought to himself.

It was the first time he had seen a girl so relaxed

If it weren't for the words just now that she was the same Kurumi Tokizaki he knew before, he would have wondered if he had come up with a different time isotope that was many years younger.

"Mr. Xia Zhi, are you implying that I'm very old?" asked Shi Qi Kurumi turned his head and looked at him.

"I didn't say that. "

Xia Zhi denied it on the spot, and said in a reasonable tone: "Miss Mad San, isn't it eighteen years old?"

"Ah, he's only sixteen. The girl chuckled back.

If you look at it by the appearance of age, it is true.

From the young man's expression, Kurumi Tokizaki could also see that he didn't believe his words at all.

However, because I am in a good mood, I don't think too much about it. She thought to herself.

“......"

On the other side, looking at the extra silver hanging chain on the fair-skinned neck of the girl next to him, Xia Zhi felt a little regretful in his heart.

Ever since he took the pocket watch, Kurumi Tokizaki has put it in his clothes and never taken it out again.

It's a pity, Xia Zhi really wants to see her shouting "TheWorld."

Not knowing what the boy was thinking, as if she was finally tired of walking, the girl found a bench and sat down on the side of the street.

"Mr. Xia Zhi, is there really no problem if you don't go back to accompany your girlfriend after such a night?"

After stretching slightly, Kurumi Shizaki looked at the young man who was also sitting down and asked curiously.

"It's okay, I said hello to Mio. Xia Solstice replied.

"Really?"

Kurumi Tokizaki tilted his head slightly, obviously not very convinced.

After all, generally speaking, normal girls wouldn't agree to their boyfriends going out in the middle of the night to find another girl to "date", right?

...... Oh, the other party doesn't seem to be a normal person in the traditional sense.

It should be said that it is not human at all.

She looked up at the starry sky above her, her eyes twinkling slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

It is often said that in the dead of night, there is always the time when emotions are at their highest. Maybe it's because there is less interference from other things, so it's easier to be cranky.

The same is true for Kurumi Tokizaki.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Xia Zhi, he was the first boy to spend the night with me. She couldn't help but sigh.

Can you not say it so easily and misleadingly?

Xia Zhi thought to himself angrily, and took out the bento box that had been prepared a long time ago from his personal universe.

On the other side, Kurumi Tokizaki stopped talking, just quietly looked at the starry sky above his head, and his gaze gradually became a little distracted.

She recalled the words of Xia Solstice that day

"- If the ending of a story is not good enough, then it is not the ending"...... Is it?

She whispered the words in her heart.

If the boy's purpose is to save all the elves

Then one day, I will be saved...... Right?

"Kurumi ~~. "

Hearing the voice of the young man beside him, Kurumi Shizaki came back from his wandering mind and turned his head suspiciously, but he felt that a soft and glutinous thing was stuffed into his mouth. Subconsciously took a light bite, and the sweet taste immediately spread in the mouth.

...... It's an egg roll.

"Is it delicious?" Xia Zhi asked, looking into her eyes.

Although it was delicious, but

“...... It's not a good habit to stuff something into a girl's mouth. "

After swallowing the egg roll in his mouth and breathing a sigh of relief, Kurumi Shizaki looked at the boy and reminded him.

So, can you stop saying something so easily misleading?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart and explained, "These are specially left for you today. "

"Mr. Xia Zhi, did you plan to come to me, a weak woman who doesn't return at night, a long time ago?"

"I've known each other for so long, how about not calling me sir?" Automatically ignoring her misleading words, Xia Zhi proposed.

After thinking for a moment, Shizaki Kurumi tilted his head slightly: "That...... Miss Summer Solstice?"

“......"

That was not what I meant.

Xia Zhi thought to himself, and was about to say something more, but he heard a "rustling" sound from the bushes on the side.

Then, under their gaze, a little orange cat came out of it, as if it was attracted by the smell of the bento box, and its eyes fell on the bento box on Xia Zhi's legs, and "meowed".

Summer Solstice beckoned to it.

The little orange cat meowed at the two of them again, but did not step forward immediately.

It should be said that the summer solstice has always been very cat-like. Although he thinks that he can only be regarded as a cat lover at most, not a cat lover, and his attitude towards cats is usually limited to the extent that he loses them after petting, he is always inexplicably particularly popular with cats, and the kitten at home is a typical example.

Therefore, the reason why the little orange cat seems to be scrupling about something at the moment should be for other reasons.

Xia Zhi thought to himself, and turned to look at the girl beside him.

As if he was aware of something, Kurumi Tokizaki's expression darkened slightly.

In this regard, Xia Zhi didn't say anything, and after thinking about it, he picked up a piece of egg roll and gestured in front of the cat.

After hesitating for a long time, the little orange cat finally couldn't resist the temptation of food and jumped on his knees twice.

Xia Solstice touched its head.

The little orange cat did not resist the boy's touch, and his eyes were still fixed on the egg roll he held on his chopsticks.

It's an orange cat.

Xia Zhi sighed in his heart, checked the body of the little orange cat, and noticed that it was a domestic cat again, and couldn't help but show a disappointed look.

Shaking his head, he raised his head to look at the girl and asked:

"Do you want to touch it?"

"I ...... Is that okay?" Kurumi Tokizaki hesitated, showing uneasiness and nervousness for the first time.

At this moment, she gives people the feeling of a girl of the same age who matches her appearance.

"Don't worry, it won't run away. Xia Zhi comforted her. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

It's not that you can't run, it's that you can't run.

Shi Qi thought about it, and with the encouragement of the summer solstice, he finally tentatively stretched out his hand and cautiously reached out to the cat.

Fortunately, the little orange cat's attention was completely attracted by the food, and she didn't care about the girl's actions, allowing her to put her hand on herself.

At this moment, Xia Zhi seemed to see the girl's eyes brighten, and a layer of blush appeared on her fair cheeks.

It's just a cat, you don't need to be so excited, right?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

However, although the process was a little tortuous, I finally succeeded in getting the cat.

Looking at the elf girl who is completely focused on the little orange cat, with an inexplicable flush on her face, and can't put down her love to stroke the soft hair, Xia Solstice feels that compared to the cat, the girl at this moment is more cute.

"Crazy three. He softly called out the girl's name.

"Huh?"

Kurumi Tokizaki's mind was still on the little orange cat, and he responded absentmindedly.

"Come back with me. Xia Zhi said.

Hearing this, the movement of the girl's hand paused, attracting the little orange cat's puzzled look.

Not caring about the girl's reaction, Xia Zhi looked into her eyes and continued: "If you don't have a place to go, it's okay to come to our house for a while." "

Kurumi Tokizaki didn't answer, gently stroked the cat's head, and asked casually, "...... Mr. Xia Zhi, are you treating me like a homeless kitten?"

"You who come from another world, trapped in this world that is about to die and can't go back, it's okay to say you're homeless, right?" Xia Zhi said.

That is true, but not necessarily. "

Shizaki Kurumi gave a counterexample and said, "Just like that Miss Origin Elf, doesn't she already have her own home in this world?"

Xia Solstice didn't correct her, Mio would regard this place as her home because she was in this world, but continued to ask:

"'~ So, do you make this world your home?"

“......"

Faced with this question, Shizaki Kurumi was silent for a moment, did not answer, and instead changed the topic and asked:

"You know what, Mr. Summer Solstice. "

"When I first came into this world, I wasn't much better than the elves. "

She lowered her head, looked at the little orange cat who was still eating her bento under her own petting, and continued:

"Confused, confused, uneasy...... I've all experienced these feelings, so I can understand their thoughts. "

"Is that why you want to save those elves?" asked Xia Zhi, tilting his head.

Because of empathy?

Tokizaki shook his head

"No, I...... The Kurumi Tokizaki you know is not so kind and compassionate. "

She turned around, looked at Xia Solstice and said:

"Didn't I say that the reason why I am willing to help them is just to keep myself alive. "

Despite what the girl said, Xia Zhi knew that she must have hidden something from herself.

After all, if it was just such a reason, it didn't explain why she was more enthusiastic about saving the elves than she was herself.

Just when Xia Solstice was thinking like this, he heard the girl ask softly

"They're going back, aren't they?"

Xia Solstice quickly reacted, and the "they" that the girl asked were referring to the elves like Toka, Miku, Yuko, and Yakuya who had left and disappeared into the timeline of this world.

"Hmm. "

He nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, you (Zhao Zhao) will return to that world. "

Xia Zhi looked at the girl's eyes and said

"This is my promise to you as a god. "

Are you going back......

Kurumi Tokizaki recalled once again what the boy had just said.

Is it better to be greedy or to be generous and benevolent to the gods?

...... In two worlds, I promised her a destination at the same time.

Shizaki thought to himself.

She had no doubt about the authenticity of Xia Zhi's words.

After all, the boy's previous actions had proved that he really wanted to save all the elves.

...... And among the people he wants to save is himself.

She pursed her lips slightly

“...... Mr. Summer Solstice. "

"Huh?"

Kurumi Tokizaki raised his head to look at him, his ruby eyes clearly reflected his face, and continued:

"I can't be tricked by you. "

She lowered her head slightly and whispered in an undetectable voice

“...... At least, not right now. "

Without waiting for Xia Zhi to ask her about the meaning of this sentence, after eating most of the lunch, it seemed that she had finally eaten, and the little orange cat broke free from the girl's hand and ran into the woods on the side and disappeared.

Kurumi Tokizaki looked disappointed.

"Let's go back. "

She shook her head and stood up

“...... Thank you, I had a great date tonight. "

The girl looked at Xia Solstice and smiled again

"Next, you have to work hard for the future!"

......。
