“?”

When did I say that?

A question mark popped up in Xia Zhi’s head, and he thought confusedly.

Although he did want to increase his favorability by dating the girl…but, he really just wanted to take her out for breakfast, right?

“I’ve been the host again, Mr. Xiazhi.” Tokisaki Kurumi sighed in her heart.

Why again? Xia Zhi couldn’t help but complain.

Rokuko was unaware of the conversation going on in the boy’s mind, he just hugged his arms tighter, feeling the soft touch of his body.

The girl’s cute little face showed a happy smile, and she looked at him and continued

“Then, let’s start our date~”

……

PS: Because there are so many beautiful pictures, I will post another one.

Chapter 1170: The warmth I want to immerse myself in

“Hmph~Hmph~”

The petite blonde girl sat opposite him, holding her cheeks with her hands and looking at the boy with a smile. Her legs under the table were swaying gently as she hummed a song, and she looked like she was in a very good mood.

Although it was the same udon restaurant I had been to before, the people I came with were completely different.

…in every aspect.

Xia Zhi couldn’t help but glance at the most eye-catching part of the girl’s body besides her delicate and lovely cheeks. Because of her posture, it was completely placed on the table. Indeed, it was much easier to look at.

But since it is an elf that retains all its strength, it normally wouldn’t care about such a small amount of weight, right?

“Sir, are you thinking about Liu’er?”

Seeing the boy looking at him distractedly, Rokuko blinked and asked curiously.

“more or less.”

Xia Zhi withdrew his gaze and answered vaguely.

Although it was just such a simple answer, Rokuko seemed very happy and smiled even more brightly: “Liu’er too~”

The same to you?

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi subconsciously lowered his head and looked at himself.

“Where are you looking?” Tokisaki Kurumi asked in her heart.

“……nothing.”

Xia Zhi replied to her nonchalantly, raised his head again, glanced at the bowl of noodles in front of Rokuko that had been eaten clean, and asked:

“what do you think?”

“It tastes very good.”

Rokuko nodded, affirming the quality of this noodle shop.

After a pause, she looked at the food in front of the boy and asked in confusion:

“But I don’t know why the gentleman ordered rice?”

This is obviously a noodle restaurant, right?

“It’s just a personal preference.”

Xia Zhi replied and nodded: “As long as you like it.”

Since Rokuko had blocked all his emotions before, he should have blocked his appetite as well. After floating in the sky for so long without eating, he was worried that the girl would not be able to get used to the… uh, Shikoku specialties on the ground.

Now it seems that there is no need to worry about this… Come to think of it, the girl was also a human being before.

“Why are you learning to talk like her?” Tokisaki Kurumi asked.

Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment before he reacted… Sorry, I was accidentally led astray.

However, when people get along with each other, it is normal to subconsciously learn some of each other’s habits and ways of speaking, right?

“Haven’t you started to learn how to speak like me recently?” Xia Zhi replied indifferently.

“……Have it?”

Tokisaki Kurumi’s voice seemed to be stunned for a moment.

Didn’t she realize it?

When Xia Zhi was wondering, a pair of amber golden eyes came close to him and blinked at him.

“Where are we going next?” Rokuko looked a little impatient.

I know you’re anxious, but don’t be anxious… I told you this isn’t a date, right?

Xia Zhi sighed slightly and stood up from his seat.

“Let’s go.”

Although we are not prepared, it seems that we have no choice but to “go with the flow”.

Fortunately, he is now quite familiar with the best dating routes in the four countries.

Seeing the girl’s expectant expression, Xia Zhi took her little hand and walked out of the noodle shop and headed towards the street.

Because he didn’t know what the girl liked, Xia Zhi chose a more conservative route for the first date. He went shopping and bought some clothes, went to the cinema to watch a movie, went to the snack street twice, and also went to a nearby concert hall to listen to a concert.

The girl seemed very enthusiastic throughout these activities of varying lengths, and it seemed that there was nothing she disliked.

Even so, we can still see some of her preferences. For example, compared to lively places, she seems to prefer quiet places, and she prefers Japanese cuisine. I don’t know her music style yet, after all, I only listened to one show.

Seeing that there was still some time left, Xia Zhi thought about it and finally took her to a memorial park in Kagawa Prefecture.

The park is located near the Seto Inland Sea. Although it is out of sight, it is not far from where they last went out to sea.

…Come to think of it, Lily seemed to have mentioned that she had considered this place as one of the places to investigate before.

Xia Zhi thought, watching the girl beside him walking happily, her long golden hair swaying slightly behind her, dyed with a hazy luster under the setting sun.

Seeing how happy she is, I should know how satisfied she is with her date today without asking, right?

“Liu’er is very happy.”

As if he could see what the boy wanted to ask, Rokuko replied with a smile.

“Really? That’s good.”

Xia Zhi nodded: “I thought you would be bored with concerts and movies at that time.”

After all, music is something that varies from person to person, but he almost fell asleep while watching that movie.

“how could be?”

Liu Kui tilted his head and said as a matter of course: “Liu Er is very happy when he is with you, sir?”

It turns out it has nothing to do with the movie. Is it my own fault?

Xia Zhi was thinking, the girl on the other side seemed to have discovered something, pointed in a direction not far away, and asked curiously:

·· ···Request flowers· ·······

“Sir, what’s that over there?”

He looked in the direction Rokuko pointed and saw what seemed to be a specially raised platform surrounded by glass railings. The terrain was much higher than other places in the park, so one could imagine that the view from there would be very broad.

“It should be the observatory.”

Xiazhi replied that he heard that this place was built to commemorate the Seto Ohashi Bridge.

Seeing that Rokuko was somewhat interested, he simply took the girl to the observation deck.

Because it was a weekday, and the area was rather remote, there weren’t many people in the park even after get off work, and the observation deck seemed a bit empty.

Standing on the platform, you can see the Seto Bridge and the wall across the sea. The sea breeze blowing in your face has a hint of saltiness. Under the reflection of the setting sun, the sea surface seems to be coated with a layer of gold, broken into sparkling waves by the slightly undulating waves, shining with beautiful light.

…….. ……. …

Rokuko raised his head and looked at the wall in the distance… At this distance, he could just see the place where they left this world last time.

The wall… the outside world…

Thinking of this, suddenly, a fear rose in Liu Ku’s heart.

As if she wanted to stay as far away from the wall as possible… or the border, she couldn’t help but subconsciously take two steps back, but ended up falling into an embrace.

“What’s wrong with you?” A familiar voice came from above.

Rokuko looked up blankly, and what he saw was the boy’s face full of doubt and worry. Feeling his warm embrace, he felt a sense of security.

“……nothing.”

The girl shook her head gently, but her little hands tightly grasped Xia Zhi’s clothes, unwilling to let go for a long time.

Xia Zhi also noticed the change in her mood, but didn’t ask any questions. He just gently stroked her soft golden hair, soothing her inner anxiety and panic.

“…”

Very comfortable.

Rokuko’s thoughts

The fear in my heart gradually disappeared with the touch of the young man on my head, leaving only the warmth in my heart and the same wonderful feeling as that night…

Just as she slowly closed her eyes, ready to quietly enjoy this moment

“Master Xiazhi?”

A voice that was unfamiliar to her came from behind the boy.

Rokuko frowned in dissatisfaction.

Xia Zhi turned around and looked at the girl standing not far behind him who was looking at the two people hugging each other in surprise. He quickly recognized the people and tilted his head slightly:

“…Jasmine?”

……Several.

Chapter 1171: Miss Elf is a little jealous

Looking at the girl standing on the edge of the observatory, Xia Zhi withdrew his gaze from her dark green hair swaying slightly in the sea breeze and prepared to greet her.

Long time no see… not really long. From my perspective, she actually came to my and Nanashi’s house as a guest “two days ago” in private.

“Why are you hanging around here?” he asked after thinking for a moment.

“This is a park, it’s normal for me to come here to relax, right?”

Jasmine gathered the hair behind her ears and answered as a matter of course.

Too

It should be said that this is the daily life of an “ordinary” girl.

Xia Zhi thought.

only……

Although they all seem the same to her, but if we calculate based on the “normal” timeline, she should now be considered Lily’s generation older in the eyes of others, right?

“You’ve grown up.”

Xia Zhi looked at the girl twice and sighed with a gratified tone.

“……Absolutely not.”

Jasmine frowned… This gentleman didn’t even show any sincerity in his greetings.

This is probably the most contradictory and conflicting point between her and the ordinary life she pursues… With an age and body that don’t change, she can never be considered an “ordinary person” in the eyes of others.

…It’s not that much of a worry though, I wonder how many people would like to have this ability.

She shook her head and looked at the blonde girl next to Xia Zhi, with a curious look in her eyes.

Who is this?
