Lost Narrative Poetry

"I'm back……"

After changing her shoes at the entrance, Xia Ran twitched her lips and shouted into the brightly lit room.

Then she took a deep breath and walked towards the room. Kato Megumi tilted her head and followed behind him... Although she roughly understood what Xia Ran was trying to do, after thinking about it, she still had no idea. Expose him.

"Welcome back……"

The person sitting quietly in the living room was indeed Yukinoshita Yukino. She said very calmly. At the same time, she put down the notebook in her hand and turned to look at the two people who walked in.

But then, her expression became obviously shocked, and she stood up from the sofa: "Wait, what's going on with you?!"

"Because of Feng Jian Youxiang's request, I just went to have a friendly discussion with her..." Xia Ran blinked and said this matter-of-factly, and at the same time, he looked around without leaving any trace from the corner of his eye.

Charlotte was not here, and she didn't know if she had gone to see the two people off, or if she was making preparations with Artoria, but this was what she had expected.

Yukinoshita Harano is not here either. She must have gone back to Yukino's apartment. After all, she has been very busy during this period and really needs a rest at this time. During this period, she has been living in her sister's apartment.

Because it was just across the door, it was very convenient, and she didn't worry that her sister was just across the door from here.

However, Yukinoshita Yukino is still sitting in the living room waiting at this time, but it is indeed a bit unexpected. This means that she really cares, right? So you've been waiting for an explanation?

Feeling a little bad, Xia Ran moved her eyes to the desk. The notebook was also one of her own notes, and it seemed to be about mystical knowledge about curses... Wait, that shouldn't be the case, right?

His thoughts were changing in just one thought, but Yukinoshita Yukino pointed at the blood on his body with great annoyance: "So much blood...you actually said this is a friendly competition?!"

"It's indeed a friendly competition. At least I didn't kill anyone..." Xia Ran clenched her hand into a fist, put it to her mouth and coughed softly, "Don't worry, there is actually no problem. Hell will accept me or not." Or two things to say..."

"..."

"..."

Biting her lower lip tightly, the girl with long black straight hair looked quite annoyed, but she didn't say anything else. She just suppressed her emotions and asked: "Then you really have no problem now? You don't need to see a doctor or anything like that. ?”

"It's really no problem. I'll just take a shower and change clothes later..." Xia Ran nodded repeatedly, while secretly applauding his wit.

Sure enough, after being punched in the chest by Yuka, you really need to make the best use of everything. Now that Yukinoshita-san has been diverted, she should at least stop being angry about what happened before and stop hugging her. Are you thinking about cursing yourself?

"It's best like this..." the girl said displeasedly. She looked at his face carefully and confirmed that he was indeed not showing any signs of weakness, and then felt slightly relieved.

Then, her eyes naturally shifted to Kato Megumi: "Wait, Kato-san, why are you still here? Haven't you already gone back?"

"I have always been here, and I have never gone back..." Kato Megumi replied strangely, "I just went to the shrine on the other side with Sanae to wait for a while..."

Yukinoshita frowned slightly and thought about it carefully. It seemed that only Yuigahama Yui and Hikigaya Hachiman had gone back just now. Plus the head maid sent them off, so three people left.

It was indeed strange that this Kato-san was not there. Why did I not realize that I had ignored such a person at all? So she went to the other side and waited at that time?

——I didn’t notice it at all!

Her expression changed slightly. The girl with long black hair looked at the blood on Megumi Kato's body and asked tentatively: "So... Kato-san, you just went to watch the battle?"

"How is that possible? I don't know anything. Didn't I go to the scene to cause trouble for classmate Xia Ran?"

The calm girl replied calmly, how could she go to watch the battle? It's not a stupid routine in some bloody TV series. When the protagonist is fighting with the enemy, the helpless heroine has to run into the center of the battlefield to cause chaos.

"Then the blood on your skirt..." The girl with long black straight hair looked at Megumi Kato in confusion. It seemed that this was true, but why was there blood on Megumi Kato's body?

Could it be that he accidentally contracted it when he helped this person back?

But according to logic and physical rules, it should be contaminated on the sides, shoulders, arms and other places!

What kind of support method was needed to make the clothes and skirts on the front stained with so much blood? She couldn't be the one who brought Princess Xia Ran back, right?

"Oh, this was sprayed on by Xia Ran just now..."

Speaking of this, Kato Megumi also had a slightly troubled look on her face. She twisted her body unnaturally, "Because it happened so suddenly, I couldn't avoid it..."

"..."

"..."

"Oh, so that's it."

Yukinoshita Yukino was silent for a moment, then nodded as if understanding, and said this with an unusually indifferent expression.

I don't know what she was thinking about, for example, when she was leaning on her knees... The girl looked at Kato Megumi's figure with an unusually cold gaze, thinking carefully about the probability of this possibility.

"..."

"..."

Xia Ran looked very calm beside him, because he suddenly realized that he had long been used to it.

This is the Kato-san I know. This familiar backstab and this considerate follow-up attack always come suddenly and unexpectedly when I am unprepared. It is really reassuring.

But she really didn't have any other ideas in her heart, but she could always do such things unintentionally. This was very strange and strange. Perhaps it was just like her calling her mother to inform her that she would stay at Sanae-san’s “place” tonight——

Obviously she did not lie, she just told the truth, but what she said was completely different from the actual facts, but she could tell the truth and cause the other party to have a wonderful misunderstanding...

This ability to unconsciously arrange others has reached a respectable level. Could it be said that she actually has some "ability to control unconsciousness"?

Well, if you think about it carefully, it's really suspicious - Xiaowu Loli's sister, Gu Mingchi Lian, has such an ability. Originally a mind-reading monster, she has the same mind-reading skills as Jue.

But she knew that people hated this ability, so she completely closed her mind-reading third eye so that she could no longer read other people's thoughts, so she gained the ability to control the unconscious level.

She often acts unconsciously, making it impossible for others to notice her presence. Because of the influence of her own abilities, even if someone sees her, they will soon ignore her existence as long as their attention is distracted.

In an unconscious state, as long as it does not enter the field of vision of others, there is no sense of existence...

Even if it enters the field of vision of others, it will not be noticed like a small stone...

And as soon as it goes out of sight, it will be immediately forgotten by others.

how to say? I always feel that the more I think about it, the more I feel like something is wrong. It's really weird. Maybe Kato Megumi is really in a similar situation to Komei Chikaku, but it's not as thorough, and the symptoms are relatively mild?

Perhaps in order to escape reality, Xia Ran also activated the ability to control the level of unconsciousness, and thought like this unconsciously.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, I have something to ask you..."

At this time, Yukinoshita Yukino adjusted her mood and sat down again.

"Actually, about "shiki"..." Xia Ran quickly came to her senses and spoke without hesitation to explain that the agreement was actually not the same thing at all, although it was indeed impossible to let others know.

"Who asked you this? That's not what I care about." When Yukinoshita said this, her expression was as cold as usual, and there was nothing special about it.

"Huh?"

Xia Ran was surprised now. How could she not care about this? He looked at the girl's face with concern, and hesitated for a moment: "Yukishita-san, did you just eat something you shouldn't have eaten at the banquet?"

At this time, Kato Megumi had calmly sat down on the sofa opposite and poured himself a cup of tea naturally.

After hearing this, she glanced at Xia Ran strangely. She felt a little confused about the strange classmate in the front seat. He was obviously very scheming when he just came back, so why is he acting like this now? No desire to live at all?

"For your own sake, you'd better think more before speaking..." Yukinoshita's expression was unusually calm, and she just glared at him fiercely, "If you insist, we can also discuss about that "shiki" question. "

"No, Yukinoshita-san, you are right..." Xia Ran sat down next to the girl, nodded repeatedly, and pretended to be well-behaved, "If you have anything to do, just ask me directly. As long as you want it, as long as I have."

Yukinoshita was stunned for a moment, then pretended to look away as if nothing had happened, not paying attention to the fact that the other party was obviously covered in blood, but sat down next to her...

However, there is no smell of rust or blood. Instead, there is a strange mellow aroma of blood. Human blood generally doesn't smell like this, and I don't know if it's this guy's own problem.

She coughed, cleared her throat, and then asked:

"Are you and Saber planning to go somewhere next?"

"Yes." Xia Ran nodded, not hiding the matter.

"Where to go?"

"I don't know. Although I have a vague hunch, I'm not sure." Xia Ran answered honestly.

However, such honesty obviously cannot be trusted by others. At least Yukinoshita Yukino did not believe it. She looked very unhappy: "You don't even know where you are going?"

"I really don't know. This matter is beyond my control, at least for now..."

Xia Ran looked directly into her eyes very sincerely, saying that this was really not something she could decide.

"...When are you leaving?" The girl frowned slightly, looked away, and asked again.

"It's tonight, but if there are no accidents, you can come back tomorrow morning." Xia Ran tried his best to show that what he was going to do next would not have any twists and turns based on the time scale of the real world.

Just one night, what can happen?

At most, he has upgraded again...

Yukinoshita seemed to have something in mind. She gently put her hand on her lips and thought silently.

"Yukishita-san, do you have any ideas?" Xia Ran asked tentatively, while quickly listing a series of solutions in his mind. He had already made all preparations for this possibility.

"Let's talk about this later..."

The girl with long black hair and straight hair shook her head. She couldn't make a decision for a while and needed some time to think about it. "Do you want to have a midnight snack? My sister went to take a shower and said that she didn't eat much just now. Please let me do it later. One portion..."

"Well... Then there's you, Rausueshita-san."

Xia Ran blinked and nodded decisively.

It seems that if there are no accidents, the girl will give herself the answer later?

"Thank you, I don't need it." When she noticed that Yukinoshita-san was looking at her, Kato Megumi shook her head and declined softly, "I feel like I'm a little heavier after the summer vacation."

"..." The long, straight black girl's expressionless gaze passed across the other person's chest, and then she nodded, "That's right. It's good to eat less."

Xia Ran reached out and pushed up the non-existent glasses on the bridge of his nose. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He suddenly felt that there seemed to be some unnecessary exchange of information in the brief conversation between the two girls.

But he wisely said nothing.

"Master, you are back. Wait, Master, your injury..."

At this time, there was a sound of opening the door, and the exquisite doll girl walked in from the outside, and then looked at Xia Ran in embarrassment with blood all over her body in shock.

Then she subconsciously turned her gaze and saw Yukinoshita Yukino, who walked out of the kitchen because he heard her voice and was about to ask the head maid if she wanted something to eat.

The expressionless girl stood there wearing an apron and holding a kitchen knife in her hand.
