Speaking from the heart

However, she was only wearing this little as winter was approaching. Even he wanted to admire the girl’s determination and courage.

After all, the girl who lost her elf power is now just an ordinary person.

Sure enough, under the boy’s gaze, Xixian gradually felt uncomfortable, and her fair skin turned a faint pink, not sure if it was because of shyness or the slightly lower temperature.

at last……

“…Guchu!”

The girl couldn’t help but sneeze.

……

After asking Xixian to go back and change her clothes to avoid catching a cold, Xiazhi went to the bathroom and prepared to take a bath first.

The good thing about high-end apartments is that you don’t have to wait for hot water to boil.

Lying in the bathtub filled with warm water, Xia Zhi couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Why not find some time to replace the water heater at home?

Or, let Hubie help with the transformation?

“…”

Recalling the remote control that was also modified by Hubie, and the RV that was equipped with the “matter crushing function”, Xia Zhi gave up the idea after hesitating for a moment.

After shaking his head, he pulled his thoughts back.

Today, he finally met another of the Yami sisters.

Just like what Xixian said, although they look similar, there are subtle differences in their figures and their personalities are also very different.

Despite this, the thinking circuits are highly similar.

Recalling the two sisters’ simultaneous act of giving things away for free, Xia Zhi thought to himself.

Although the situation in terms of common sense is better than that of Mio and Tohka at the beginning, it is not much better. It is easy to be led astray, right?

Hinata is really something, what did he teach her?

…By the way, where did she know all this?

Xia Zhi suddenly realized this.

And, did she really only teach Xixian that one thing?

“Click…”

Just as Xia Zhi was thinking this, he heard the bathroom door slowly open with a slight sound.

Then, under his silent gaze, the girl with long orange hair walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.

“…Inquiry. Can Xixian come in?”

Looking at the boy sitting in the bathtub, Xixian tilted her head slightly and asked.

Summer Solstice: “…”

You’ve already locked the door, isn’t it a little late to ask this now?

…Also, when I told you to go back and change your clothes, didn’t I ask you to change them?

…….

Chapter 1055 Xi Xian wants to thank

“……Is there a problem?”

Looking at the elf girl next to the bathtub, Xia Zhi asked.

Fortunately, he had habitually cut off contact with Tokisaki Kurumi at this time, otherwise she would have been watching him again.

“Answer. Come and help Xia Zhi rub his back.” The girl said with a blink of her eyes.

“I don’t need it.” Xia Zhi replied.

“Confused. Xiazhi, can you wipe the back?”

Xixian asked doubtfully.

This is not something that can be wiped off.

I was just taking a bath, so if I wanted to clean myself, I would have already done it in the shower before.

Xia Zhi thought about it and changed the topic and asked

“Aren’t you afraid of the cold?”

Xixian shook her head: “It’s okay. The bathroom is warmer than outside. Xixian doesn’t feel cold.”

Having said that, I didn’t turn on the heat lamp, and the temperature of the water vapor alone will not have much effect in this season.

From the slight trembling of her crystal red skin and the faint appearance of tiny pimples, it can be seen that what she said just now was obviously a forced statement.

Xia Zhi sighed slightly, reached out and gently held her wrist.

Then, under the girl’s puzzled gaze, he exerted a little force on his hands and pulled her into the bathtub. The water level in the bathtub immediately rose and soon overflowed.

The good thing about high-end apartments is that the bathtubs are always bigger.

Xia Zhi couldn’t help but sigh again in his heart,

Looking at the girl sitting in front of him, her body was stiff and motionless. The redness spreading from her neck to behind her ears also proved that her heart was not as indifferent as she appeared just now.

Xia Zhi stretched out his hand again, and the moment he touched the white skin behind her neck, Xixian’s body trembled subconsciously.

However, Xia Zhi did nothing but gently untied her hairband.

Her bright orange hair spread out like a waterfall, rippling on the water.

“…emphasize. Xixian is here to help Xiazhi rub his back, not to have his back rubbed.” After taking a deep breath, Xixian said this.

“I met your sister.”

However, the boy’s next words made her stop talking again.

“She’s very worried about you.”

Xia Zhi took the shampoo from the side and continued

“Because she hasn’t been able to get in touch with you and doesn’t know your specific situation, she has been depressed for a long time… It must be difficult for her to accept being separated from you for such a long time.”

Upon hearing this, Xixian pursed her lips slightly.

There was nothing she could do about it… If possible, wouldn’t she want to explain everything to Yakushi?

“I actually have a sister… Although she’s not my biological sister, we have a very good relationship.”

At least, it’s better than ordinary siblings, right?

Xia Zhi thought to himself as he applied shampoo to the girl’s smooth long hair and rubbed it carefully to create foam.

“There was a time when I accidentally disappeared, and she told me that she was in a daze every day during that time, and felt as if she was dead.”

As he spoke, he patiently rubbed and cleaned every corner of the girl’s long hair. Gradually, some bubbles began to float on the surface of the bath water.

“So I actually felt very guilty. She did a lot of ridiculous things later, but I didn’t blame her for anything.”

“…”

Xixian calmed down, quietly feeling the boy’s skillful technique. Along with the comfortable touch from the gentle force on her head, her heart gradually softened.

Xia Zhi continued, “She later told me that at that time she only thought that as long as she could find me, she would not mind exchanging everything for me…”

“…Yakushiya said the same thing at that time.”

Xixian was stunned for a moment and wanted to turn around to look at Xiazhi, but saw him pick up the shower head and turn on the faucet.

She subconsciously held her breath to avoid being choked by the water.

The warm water washed away the foam on her hair, but thanks to the boy’s experienced care, not much water actually flowed onto her face.

“So, you don’t have to worry so much about the reward.”

Xia Zhi put the shower back, turned around and looked at the girl and said with a smile:

“Your sister has already paid for that kind of thing.”

“…”

Xixian slowly opened her eyes and looked at Xiazhi again. Her hair, which had just been washed, was wet and draped over her forehead, like a small animal with its hair soaked after being caught in the rain, which made her look even more fragile and pitiful.

“…Just kidding.”

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to help her tidy up the messy hair beside her cheek, and said softly

“Didn’t I say it from the beginning? I’m here to save you, both you and Yakushi… Someone has already helped to pay for this ‘reward’.”

The two sisters have never been separated since the moment they were “born”. Now that they are suddenly separated, they will naturally think about looking for each other.

It was also at that time that Xixian left the Four Countries to look for her sister. The elven power she used outside the barrier exposed her own existence, which allowed the gods to discover their existence, ultimately leading to the ending of the previous world line.

According to Tokisaki Kurumi, that was the first time that the gods noticed the abnormality in the timeline and her existence as a time spirit.

In other words, the reason why the girl is willing to give up everything in order to save Yakuya is not only because of her longing and love for Yakuya, but also partly out of her inner self-blame.

Xia Zhi thought to himself.

“But, there is one thing I did not lie about… I did promise Yakushi.”

Looking at the puzzled elf girl in front of him, a smile appeared on his face.

“So, do you want to go meet her?”

“…”

Xixian hesitated for a moment, then shook her head gently:

“…Answer. Xixian cannot leave this time and space.”

Xia Zhi did not accept her reason for rejection: “Don’t worry about that kind of thing, you just need to give your answer, and leave everything else to me.”

When Xi Xian heard this, his ears moved slightly, he raised his head and looked at him and asked:

“Confirmed. Really, okay?”

“If I can’t even do this, how can I save you?” Xia Zhi said as he gently touched her head.

Feeling the gentle touch on her head, the girl said nothing, but just lowered her head slightly.

Xia Zhi did not urge her and waited quietly for her answer.

…without any basis or proof

But Xixian subconsciously believed

What the boy said was the truth.

After all, there was no point in deceiving her, as she had nothing left now.

Why would he go to such lengths for such a woman?

She recalled in her mind what the boy had just said.

…Save?

“…Summer Solstice.”

After a long time, the soft voice of the girl was heard.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but compared to her usual tone of voice which hardly changes when she speaks, the girl’s voice at this moment seems to have a special emotion and become much softer?

Xia Zhi lowered his head in confusion, but suddenly felt something soft on his lips.

“…Promise.”

After a moment, he separated from the boy again.

Xixian blushed slightly, her gray-blue eyes reflected the boy’s face, and she said softly:

“It has nothing to do with Yakushi. This is the payment agreed upon by Yui and Natsuki.”
