i became a shadow

Chapter 224 I'm Back
Raindrops the size of soybeans clattered onto the asphalt road, washing away the dirt.

And like the tears of a young girl, moistening the dry earth, the rainy season always makes people sad.

Duo was holding an umbrella and walking side by side with Tohka, the crystal water droplets slid across the top of the umbrella, splashing a string of flower waves in the puddles.

"Where is Duo's umbrella?"

Tohka hugged Duo's arm tightly to avoid getting wet from the rain.

"Of course it was sent by a kind person."

The kind-hearted person naturally refers to Wuhe Shidao, only he has developed a good habit of watching the weather forecast.

"Then how did he get home?"

"Hiroto Tonomachi is happy to oblige."

Outside the school, under a purple umbrella, Hiroto Tonomachi hugged Shidou Itsuka's arm, happily introducing his new girl.

"Shidou-kun, it's been a long time since I held an umbrella with you."

"Because my umbrella was stolen..."

Itsuka Shidou said helplessly.

A man and a woman go home with the same umbrella on a rainy day, and of course they cannot avoid chatting.

"Duo, you had a space quake yesterday, where did you go? I searched for a long time, but I couldn't see you?"

Tohka hugged his arm tightly again without leaving any gaps, and asked nervously with her delicate face.

The girl's soft warmth made Duo stop in his tracks, and touched her head with a smile.

"There are important things to attend to."

"What is it?"

Tohka squinted her eyes like a kitten, and her butterfly headband was bouncing up and down happily.

"This is a commercial secret!"

Duo stretched out his slender fingers to touch his cool and rosy lips.

"what the hell!"

She was a little dissatisfied, and immediately turned her head away.

Seeing this, Duo stopped talking.

It's impossible to say directly that I'm going on a date, that would be too much.

In fact, he didn't want to do this either, everything was just to complete the task of the system.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Duo looked to the left, as if he found something, doubts appeared in a pair of magnificent eyes.

"What's the matter, Oh?"

She tore at the opponent's school uniform.

"It feels like there's something there."

Duo replied, and immediately stepped on the water and paced away, his movements were cautious.

Even Tohka on the side was affected, and immediately stood on tiptoe.

The drizzle washes away the stains, and a shrine is bathed in clear water. The sound of crackling is endless, like a lonely piano music.

Pink cherry blossom petals sink into the soil, ready to become one with the tree again, nourishing it.

A little girl with blue hair was hiding behind the wooden pillar, her green cloak was covered with dense drops of water.

Even if the rain is not heavy, the whole body will be soaked after a long time.

"Little sister, why are you here alone?"

Duo slowly came to the front of the wooden pillar and asked strangely. He found a green thing swaying from a long distance, so he came to have a look.

The little girl stepped back quickly, her azure blue eyes full of timidity and fear, and she blocked the rabbit-shaped hand puppet in her left hand in front of her.

Petite body trembling slightly.

"...Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Duo tried his best to smile kindly, and then took out another lollipop.

"Look, my brother has lollipops here."

However, the little girl quickly took a few steps back, her eyes fixed on the other party.

"..."

He wondered if he didn't look vicious, and don't children like big sweet things?
"Duo, is she lost?"

Tohka exchanged glances with her, and the latter pulled down her hat nervously, covering her panicked eyes.

This look was very insecure, and she also felt very familiar, it was herself when she didn't meet Duo before.

"probably."

Duo thought, it's really too dangerous for a little girl to run around in this windy and rainy day.

"Duo Duo, then we should help her!" Tohka said without hesitation.

"It's natural!"

Duo nodded, then turned his head away.

"Little sister, how about my brother taking you home... Hey, where did she go?"

Looking at the empty slate, he scratched his hair in confusion, why did the little sister disappear in the blink of an eye?

"Oh, she seems to be gone..."

Tohka looked confused.

"... Forget it, let's go back first."

Duo turned around and found that there was no one at all, so he gave up looking. Strange, do people run so fast?

Unable to figure it out, Duo peeled off the lollipop that came from Kotori and put it in his mouth.

The taste is very positive, the taste of lollipops.

"Duo, I want to eat too!"

"There's only one... wait, don't pull it out of my mouth, I still have more!"

"what!"

Shixiang closed her eyes and opened her mouth wide, implying that she needed to be fed.

Duo had no choice but to peel off another lollipop from Kotori and gag the other party's mouth.

"Duo, it's really sweet!"

Shixiang smirked a few times, her face also turned red.

"Like it?"

"like!"

"Then I'll steal later... ahem, I'll borrow some more."

"Ok!"

She lowered her little head in front of Duo, and the bow tie danced happily, which meant that she needed to touch her head.

……

"Shidou, you are now a professionally trained elite, do you understand this mission?"

Wuheqin looked serious inside, sitting on the sofa, with smooth little feet dangling slippers, with three large characters "for visitors" written on them.

"…I understand."

"Don't put on such a dejected look. When you go out on a date with your girlfriend, you also put on such a bad face?"

"But Duo is not a girl at all!!"

Wuhe Shidao was in a mess in a gust of wind.

"Huh? It seems that the training is still not enough."

Kotori narrowed her eyes slightly, and said something that frightened him.

"No, I will work hard, don't let me watch those things!"

Wuhe Shidao shook his head hastily, with fear appearing in his eyes.

It is conceivable how much damage it has caused to my young heart.

"Very good, read to me the purpose of this time."

"Make Duo shy, date him, and then seal..."

Wuhe Shidao's throat felt dry and itchy, he would definitely be beaten to death.

"Shidou, you have to believe in your own charm and create a romantic date for him. I will send Tohka away for dinner tonight. You must seize the opportunity!"

Commander Kotori said solemnly, and at the same time took out a lollipop from his pocket and put it in his mouth.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but it seems to be a lot less.

"Ugh……"

The raindrops splattered on the glass window, and the water flowed slowly, and Wuhe Shidao's heart also flowed to the ground.

"Shidao, you have to think about it this way. Duo is not only beautiful, but also very virtuous. Even if it is the same sex, it is not unacceptable."

She comforted her a few times, telling her brother not to be influenced by the world.

As soon as the words fell to the ground, Wuhe Shidao's fingers gripping the window sill became even harder, and his fingers were a little pale from being pressed.

There was a clicking sound, and at this moment, with a turn of the key, Duo and Tohka finally returned.

"I am back!"

Duo said happily.
