I like crossing the most

Chapter 135 Longing is the emotion farthest from understanding
Liverpool is a port city with well-developed trade. You can feel the British customs in the 19th century, and you are surprised that the streets are still full of vitality even in the evening.

Pedestrians on the street are still in an endless stream, both shops and restaurants are bustling, which is completely different from Axel in the countryside, which closed early.

Accompanied by beautiful women, the process of playing is quite enjoyable.

…except for a certain blond lady who was shy of strangers who followed Xiao Lin's ass step by step, feeling like a puppy who was afraid of being left behind, which made Xiao Lin chuckle.

"W-why are you laughing?!"

"Sorry, sorry, I just didn't expect you to be so shy. Is it because you rarely come out?"

"Under normal circumstances, students don't need to leave the academy!"

"That's usually the case."

Kobayashi repeated in a low voice.

Despite the girl's serious arrogance, her hidden good intentions are very shallow.

It also puzzled him.

"Why did Charlotte wait for me on purpose? Could it be that she was looking forward to it because she heard the word dating?"

"Who would expect to date you..."

She said angrily as if trying to hide her shyness.

At this moment, a middle-aged man's laughter suddenly came from behind them, accompanied by the ridicule of "it's nice to be young", which made Charlotte tremble all over.

Kobayashi stopped, looked at the girl hiding behind, and at the noisy neighborhood and pedestrians.

"So that's how it happened~"

"Hey! Why do you put on an expression that you know everything!"

"To put it simply, as long as Sigmund is not around, you will be very disturbed."

"Well……"

Charlotte whimpered, lowered her head slightly as if aggrieved, and was speechless.

It seems to have been said.

Xiao Lin hurriedly comforted the girl, saying: "Don't worry, don't worry, I also have this kind of situation."

"……real?"

"Ah, really."

When I met Estes for the first time, because I was afraid of the exaggerated strength and elusive character of the opponent, Kobayashi, who was holding on to it, also showed some lies and was seen through by the opponent, so I could empathize with the uneasiness.

"Is that so?"

Charlotte smiled slightly, which was the empathy of finding someone who had the same experience.

"So don't worry. I will protect you in case of danger. You also know my strength."

"...That's why I'm worried, who knows if you're a pervert disguised as a flower protector."

"Since you're afraid, you came here on purpose, Charlotte, do you have any strange hobbies? Or are you secretly expecting me to do some bad things to you?"

"That's not true! Really, I'm already thinking about whether to go back!"

The two kept talking together.

However, the atmosphere has not changed particularly bad.

Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, this is flirting between lovers.

... I sincerely hope they don't think so, because there is something wrong with Miss Liuzi who has been following behind.

The quiet and elegant lady doll seldom makes expressions that don't fit her identity, but that's why Xiao Lin always pays attention to her, afraid of being too cold.

He took the initiative to hold Liu Zi's hand, and walked forward with strides.Suddenly pulling away from Charlotte, the shy girl hurriedly followed.

She panicked and said, "No, can't you just go out suddenly? Where are you going?"

"Go for a walk by the canal. After all, we have agreed to go to see the night view with Liu Zi."

Kobayashi held up his hands clasped with Liuzi's ten fingers.

Holding another girl's hand in front of a girl, and showing it to her, always feels an inexplicable feeling of forbiddenness.

Charlotte was a little surprised to see the intimate behavior of the two, and said: "You are a bit strange, the puppet master would listen to his puppet's words... What a worthless man, he would be dominated by an automatic puppet. The position is completely reversed!"

Facing the reprimand, Kobayashi was not angry.

Instead, he said in a very casual and ordinary tone: "Liu Zi is my waiter, a companion and the most important family member. Is there anything strange?"

"But you have a different attitude towards other dolls." Charlotte asked curiously.

Kobayashi had previously treated Sigmund.

Under normal circumstances, puppet envoys will not treat other people's puppet. Not only did Kobayashi take the initiative to treat Sigmund, he even asked about its physical condition, and asked Sigmund instead of Charlotte. Inquiry, the dragon doll has been regarded as an independent individual.

"Everyone has their own judgment boundaries. I classify [as long as they can think and communicate] into the category of independent individuals. If you are implying that my question about Sigmund has exceeded, then I Apologize."

"...I don't mean to blame you."

It is precisely because Kobayashi showed kindness to Sigmund and was pointed out by her dragon doll that she came to help him.

Although the appearance is arrogant and arrogant, it seems a bit reluctant.

"Then there's no problem." Xiao Lin offered the invitation and said, "How about it, do you want to go together?"

"what?"

"Look at the scenery."

"I reject."

Charlotte turned her head, and simply refused: "Why should I accompany the two of you to see the scenery, besides, I'm already hungry."

hungry……

It's really like what she said, always causing trouble to others inadvertently.

"Okay, let's go eat."

"Huh? Aren't you going to see the scenery?"

"In the situation where someone is yelling at you that you are hungry, can you still watch the scenery in silence?"

This rhetorical question made Charlotte lower her head again, as if regretting the arrogant words she blurted out just now.

Xiao Lin walked in front and shouted to her: "Let's go, let's find a restaurant with a beautiful atmosphere. It's a good way to get the best of both worlds, isn't it?"

The unexpected gentleman who explained to her in front of her eyes moved the girl very much.

Then refuse again.

"I, I don't want it!"

After Charlotte finished speaking in a strong tone, she muttered falteringly with erratic eyes: "This month...that, simply speaking, it is financial difficulties...or economic downturn...something... "

"If it's money, don't worry, I just exchanged a lot of gold coins at the pawn shop, enough for a treat."

"gold……"

The girl was speechless for a moment.

She forgot how rich the country people in front of her were.

Thinking of this, Charlotte's eyes sparkled, and then she came back to her senses, turned her face away with a snort and said arrogantly: "I don't accept the pervert's favor."

Unfortunately, the girl's belly betrayed her.

Gollum-

"...You, you disrespectful person!"

"My fault?!"

Kobayashi widened his eyes in bewilderment.

He held his right hand to his ear as if taking revenge, and joked as if he was listening: "Oh, unlike some tsundere girl who doesn't agree with her heart, her stomach is already happy after hearing someone say that she wants to treat her." cheered up."

"Varied……!
To actually embarrass this lady..."

Then, with a self-defeating attitude, with tears in the corners of her eyes, Charlotte said viciously: "I know, I know! Since you are so rich, I must let you completely treat me to a big meal!"

The girl blamed arrogantly, making the corner of innocent Xiaolin's mouth twitch.But all of this can be seen as a weird way for the other party to cover up his shyness.

After all, she is Tsundere, so it is already very good to agree.

Ten minutes later, the three showed up at a restaurant along the canal.Under the offensive of money, the outdoor seats on the second floor were arranged.

You can clearly see the lights on the canal here. The interior decoration is a modern style composed of steel bars and bricks. nice restaurant.

"You can have a big meal and enjoy the scenery. How about it, it's a very nice restaurant."

"……well enough."

What Charlotte said was completely different from the expression on her face. It seemed that she was quite satisfied with having dinner here.

The dishes were served one after another.

If the money is in place, the food is naturally high-end food.

The noble girl is very satisfied with this.

It was just that during the meal, Charlotte kept looking at Xiaolin, as if looking at some rare and exotic beast.

"...Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I heard that the dining etiquette of islanders is the worst. I didn't expect you to be quite normal."

"Wait a minute, did you misunderstand something?"

"Misunderstanding what?"

"I'm not from the island, but from next door to the island."

"...Eh? Liar!"

Charlotte covered her mouth in surprise, and looked at Xiao Lin in disbelief.

Sure enough, some sort of misunderstanding arose.

The name, appearance, and the close contact with Akabane Leizhen completely misunderstood the native Western girl.

But she said something more misunderstood.

"Which country are you from? But I heard that you don't always wear cheongsam and buns..."

"You're prejudice!... No, maybe it's not prejudice."

There is no way, the stereotypes left to outsiders are too serious, and it is still in the 19th century, so it is normal to have such misunderstandings.

"Anyway, I'm not an islander, please remember clearly."

"……I see."

The girl nodded solemnly, keeping this matter in her heart.

This is her advantage, she will remember some things that the other party is unwilling or directly stated, and then will not say it in front of the other party.

"So, your fighting style is different from ordinary people, and it's also because of this relationship?"

"……you can say it this way."

"What genre is it?"

"Genre? We don't call it genre there. But if you have to say it... I'm fascinated?"

What is handed down from the family is the XX flow, copying others is the original flow, what you think of and what you make up is the heart flow, and if you don’t make up anything by yourself, it is my flow.

In terms of ingenuity, Kobayashi really can only rely on himself, so it is reasonable to say that it is me... Although Liuzi has never made a formal move since coming to this world.

The girl nodded ignorantly, not knowing if she understood.

"Okay, it's time for me to ask the question this time."

Kobayashi's smile looked disgusting to her, and Charlotte obviously put on an expression of displeasure, but she also seemed to feel that it would be too unfair to refuse, so she nodded reluctantly.

A man with malicious intentions pokes at each other's weakness the moment he opens his mouth.

"What is your relationship with Felix, and where did you meet?"

"Why, do you care? Sure enough, you have unreasonable thoughts about him, he is the same sex..."

"I advise you to be kind, girl!"

Kobayashi interrupted her forcefully while smiling, making Charlotte pay attention to the puppet girl next to her who wanted to speak venomously.

Fortunately, she held back.

Charlotte blushed slightly, lowered her eyelids and said, "It's the other party who took the initiative to get to know me."

The girl's shyness is on display.

But immediately, a little haze appeared in those sapphire blue eyes.

She whispered: "After all, I will always create enemies for myself unconsciously... Don't get me wrong, even if that is the case, I don't care. Anyway, I am alone, and I have no intention of becoming close to them. And being Isolation also has the benefits of being isolated. And because of his relationship as a disciplinary committee member, Felix will take care of me in many ways."

"……I see."

Kobayashi's ridicule followed, ignoring that the girl was still immersed in sadness.

"So you fell in love with him?"

"I didn't!"

Charlotte immediately denied it arrogantly.

She raised her white fist and threatened: "If you talk nonsense again, be careful that I will let Sigmund burn you alive!"

"Scary and scary~ It's scary how the girl who got her mind pierced and turned into a rage is really scary."

Instead of apologizing, Kobayashi intensified.

That's because the dragon-shaped puppet Sigmund was not by her side, otherwise she would definitely issue a mandatory order because of her shyness leading to a decline in IQ.

"Actually, you don't want to find me at all, but you want to come out and play with that guy like this? How should I say something like this, a rehearsal for a date... something like that?"

"What...! You...! How...!"

The girl was speechless in shock.

Obviously Xiao Lin guessed right, and asked: "Didn't he ask you out? Why did you refuse? It should be a dream for you, right?"

"……no."

Charlotte's anger suddenly dissipated, she lost her momentum for a moment, and then turned her head away.

She turned her eyes to the dim canal, her sapphire blue eyes were also stained, and whispered in an empty voice: "Felix is ​​very popular, girls are crazy about him, so if I date him..."

"It will create more unnecessary enemies or something... But you said you don't care about those enemies, so you're afraid of troubling them, right?"

Kobayashi explained the girl's concerns.

The girl in the academy who is afraid of being called "Tyrannosaurus" is actually considerate of other people, and people will be shocked when they find out.

"So this admiration slowly turned into a longing."

"……probably."

"But girl, longing is the feeling that is the furthest away from understanding, do you understand this truth?"

"……Eh?"

Charlotte suddenly raised her head, looking puzzled at Kobayashi who suddenly said such philosophical words.

"Don't look at me with such eyes, I'm just repeating what others said."

"I think so. After all, you are a country savage who dares to fight an automaton head-on."

"If you mean that the behavior of those miscellaneous fish dolls who can only stand in place and output by mouth is elegant, yes, I am indeed a country savage through and through."

"You...!"

Charlotte couldn't say anything more when he thought that the other party knocked the ten puppets who had sneaked into the ground to the ground.

However, the girl's arrogance still made Xiaolin treat her to three servings of ice cream. In this regard, the wealthy country barbarian also asked the other party to accompany him to buy things as a task.

After that, I wandered around for a while, and went back home after the night fell completely.

It was only when I returned to campus that something was wrong.

It was nine o'clock now, and the academy should have been quiet at this time, but now the other side of the gate was extremely noisy.

— There was an attack.

After hearing the news, Xiao Lin frowned subconsciously.
