I wanted to be a bad actor in the anime, but I failed.

The woods in the afternoon with the chirping of insects and birds make people feel lonely and free.

The fog rose up at some point, making things feel hazy.

As the bored sheriff led the way, the young boy and girl behind him walked side by side.

The melting snow made the mountain road wet and difficult to walk on. The slippery ground caused the girl to almost fall down the steep slope several times, but she was saved by the boy beside her every time.

"Thank you, thank you."

Yukinoshita Yukino's face turned red, and she became panicked as she felt the warmth of the arm around her waist.

She was saved several times by the young man in front of her. The strange and fascinating feeling made her wonder if she fell on purpose.

After she stood still, she had no choice but to lower her head, hold the boy's clothes tightly and continue walking forward.

But after a while, the boy became impatient, walked up to the sheriff, picked him up and started rubbing him!

“Meow! Meow—!”

The police chief's screams were too much for Yukinoshita Yukino to bear.

As a staunch cat lover, this was the first time she watched a cute cat being abused and didn’t dare to step forward to stop it.

"what are you doing?"

"Meow?"

"I asked you to help find ghosts but you're just hanging around here and letting us follow you around? Do you want to die?"

"Meow meow!"

The sheriff, who was tortured by the devil's claws, explained hurriedly.

The general meaning is: I am just a simple cat, how can I find such a supernatural existence!

"Then what use do I have for you?" Mu Lin stared at the aggrieved eyes of the black cat and said, "Forget it, I guess you didn't feel it until night."

With this judgment, he put the black cat down and looked around.

At first, he and Yukinoshita went to an izakaya in the back mountain, but when they found nothing unusual, they patrolled around the mountain.

Before I knew it, I arrived at a stream.

The gurgling stream hits the pebbles, making a soft and sweet sound.

The water in the center is not shallow.

"There's still some time until evening, let's take a rest here."

Mu Lin said this and turned to look at the girl behind him.

Upon taking a look, he discovered that the girl was covering her mouth and looking at him with a smile in her eyes.

This strange expression left Mu Lin confused.

"You have a good relationship with the sheriff."

Yukinoshita Yukino commented like this.

Before Mu Lin could react, the sheriff got angry and meowed in rebuttal.

Yukinoshita Yukino squatted down and rubbed its furry head to comfort it, then followed it and meowed "meow~meow~".

The peaceful rest was spent slowly under Yukinoshita Yukino playing with the cat.

Mu Lin picked up the pebbles on the ground and threw them into the stream out of boredom.

But at some point, he suddenly frowned.

The black cat, who was being rubbed comfortably by Yukinoshita Yukino, suddenly turned his head and looked upstream in the stream.

The relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense, causing the black-haired girl to ask in confusion, "What's wrong?"

As soon as the question came to his mind, Mu Lin suddenly took off his coat and jumped into the center of the stream.

"Eh?"

Yukinoshita Yukino stood up in horror.

......

It seemed as if a river god had descended from nowhere.

He is asking.

"Did you drop the silver-haired loli or the blonde loli?"

"Or is it this ordinary loli?"

Answer: Silver-haired loli.

......

The water in the stream was close to zero degrees.

It was very cold, making the whole body tense and making it difficult to breathe even when swimming on the surface.

After Yukinoshita Yukino anxiously shouted "Kirin-kun" for a long time, she widened her eyes and looked at the worried person holding a silver-haired loli who was pale, wearing a white dress, and seemed to be lifeless.

Next, Yukinoshita Yukino saw the true side of Mu Lin that she had never seen before.

How bad could the boy who used to be unsociable, heartless and seemed to care about no one be able to be the first to lend a helping hand to the person who fell into the water?

In addition, I had put my arms around her waist several times before to prevent her from falling down the hillside, and I acted as if it didn't matter to me, as if I didn't save her, but in fact I was just indicating that saving her was just a small matter and there was no need to be too grateful to me.

Mu Lin's series of emergency rescue actions left Yukinoshita Yukino standing there in a daze.

She didn't know much about other professional moves, she only knew artificial respiration.

"Puff!" A mouthful of water was spat out by the unconscious silver-haired loli.

She was almost dead but finally recovered her weak breathing.

Then, Mu Lin, without caring about any ethics or morals, stripped off Loli's clothes, wiped all the stream water off her body with his shirt, and then put his coat on her.

After taking the minimum temperature protection measures, he picked up dry branches around him and made a fire to bring the corner by the stream to a suitable temperature.

Only after seeing Mu Lin's actions finally come to an end did Yukinoshita Yukino realize that she could breathe.

The emergency just now made her not even aware of her own presence.

"Should we send her to the hospital?" she asked after the fact.

"You don't have to. But to avoid her family worrying, we should send her to the hospital."

"Then now..."

"When her clothes are dry, help her put them on and we'll take her to the hospital."

......

It's so cold and suffocating.

Dying?

He must be dead, right?

Slipping and falling into a stream is something that even a child should be ashamed of!

and many more!

Why is it suddenly so warm?

Is this God's warm embrace?

The God in heaven must be very gentle, right?

The chaotic little brain is bursting with random thoughts.

The little girl named Meiko Honma opened her eyes in a daze.

When those innocent and pure blue eyes bloomed, two figures appeared in the halo favored by angels.

Even in the daytime, their faces were illuminated brightly by the bonfire.

Are they... gods? Why do they have black hair? Logically, they should have blonde or silver hair, right?

"She's awake."

The very beautiful older sister said to the older brother.

"Go and communicate with her."

"Eh? Why is this......"

The older sister was a little angry, but it seemed that her status as a god was lower than that of her older brother, so she stood up and walked over obediently.

"you're awake."

"Hmm..." Meiko Honma responded obediently, "Excuse me, is this heaven?"

"No, you're still alive."

"I don't believe it, I must be dead!"

“You don’t have a halo on your head.”

Hearing this, Meiko Honma looked up and found that there was really no halo after death as rumored, so she widened her eyes and said, "Huh? I'm really not dead?"

"Yes, he saved you."

"No way?"

Meiko Honma still couldn't believe it.

When her face was warmed by the blazing bonfire in front of her, and the coat she was wearing gave her a reassuring warmth and intoxicating smell, she was finally sure that she was still alive.

It's a bit confusing to be saved from a hopeless and fatal situation.

She paused for a long time before saying, "Thank you, big brother and big sister, for saving me!"

"Strictly speaking, he saved..."

Yukinoshita Yukino was about to correct her, but was interrupted by the boy opposite her.

"What's your name?"

"Meiko Honma! What about you guys?"

"Yukikinoshita Yukino."

"Eh? What a nice name! I know she's a pretty big sister!"

"Yes, really?"

Yukinoshita Yukino's pretty face blushed slightly when she was praised by the little loli, and she lifted her hair behind her ears.

"Big brother! What about you?"

"Mulin."

"Mu...Lin?" Meiko Honma stated awkwardly.

After a brief exchange, Mu Lin stood up and said, "Well, it's getting late. To prevent any accidents, we still have to send you to the hospital for a full-body checkup."

"Oh, okay." Meiko Honma nodded obediently.

"Yukino, help her change her clothes."

"Ah."

......

When helping the little loli put on her dress, Yukinoshita Yukino really couldn't bear to tell her the cruel fact that her body had been seen by Mu Lin and touched through her shirt.

She looks to be around 11 or 12 years old, and should have relatively mature ideas about relationships between men and women.

Really...

Forget it, it’s all just to save people.

"Thank you, Sister Yukino!"

The frail Meiko Honma thanked her cutely, causing Yukinoshita Yukino to nod weakly.

"Well, let's go. We have to take you to the hospital."

"it is good!"

Adding a loli to accompany him makes Mu Lin walking on the steep mountain road even more burdensome.

A girl of similar age was tugging at the corner of his clothes, but her unsteady gait still made him wary.

The silver-haired loli was too weak to walk, so he had to carry her on his back.

Looking around, he found that the sheriff was the only person who made him feel most at ease.

"How did you fall into the stream?"

A belated question came out of Yukinoshita Yukino's mouth.

Meiko Honma's innocent smile froze, and she paused for a moment before she told what happened before she fell into the water.

I had some youthful conflicts with my good friends in a secret base in the mountains, then ran out angrily and accidentally fell into the water.

It was just a simple accident, there was no such heinous thing as murder or framing.

This made Yukinoshita Yukino, who had originally planned to call the police, feel relieved.

"Brother, sister, why are you in this mountain?"

Meiko Honma asked a simple question, but it touched upon the vital points.

"Uh...this." Yukinoshita Yukino didn't know how to answer and looked at Mu Lin for help.

The latter's indifferent attitude, as if it all depends on your performance, made her unhappy.

But Meiko Honma helped her find the answer.

"I know! Are you and your brother and sister having a date here?"

"Spending time alone together in the deserted woods, huh! How romantic!"

"Ah, that's about right, but it's not just two people but also a cat." Yukinoshita Yukino said perfunctorily.

"Meow!" the sheriff shouted, complaining that the loli ignored his existence.

"How romantic! Dating in the mountains with my cat!"

Meiko Honma seemed to be in love, her eyes were sparkling and she looked very envious.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at her with a slightly blushing face, and occasionally glanced at the expressionless Mu Lin.

......

Accidentally saving a loli on the way to find Sadako was just an episode.

Just like a gust of wind blowing through the streets, it is not worth lingering on.

As a rescuer, Mu Lin didn't take this matter to heart at all.

But for Yukinoshita Yukino, this is a secret that belongs only to her and him and will never be forgotten.

This secret made her feel strange.

I feel that Mu Lin, like his sister, hides his true nature deep in his heart.

This time, she had her first glimpse into his kindness, which was to help others without hesitation.

Speaking of which, if we ignore his always annoying behavior.

He seemed to have saved me, our family, and Sadako without hesitation, right?
