This was the scene that Mori Xue saw when she came in. For some reason, Mori Xue felt that Tachihara Masaaki was in a very bad mood the first time she saw him.

Did something special happen today? Are you tired from fighting?

At present, Mori Xue is still unable to understand Tachihara Masaaki's complex thoughts and emotions. Seeing that Tachihara Masaaki is not in good condition, Mori Xue thinks about taking a day off from studying to give Tachihara Masaaki some space and time.

Tachihara Masaaki noticed Mori Yuki's arrival and hesitation, raised his head with a grim expression and said:

"Xiaoxue, you are here. Let's start today's study."

Mori Xue looked at Tachihara Masaaki's pale face and said with concern: "Masaaki... feels bad..."

When Tachihara Masaaki heard Mori Yuki's words of concern for him, he felt even more disgusted with himself for blaming his mistakes on others.

Tachihara Masaaki forced a smile on his face, patted his side, and said softly to Mori Xue:

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. I'd like to finish a little early today. Come and sit down."

Mori Xue looked at Tachihara Masaaki carefully, nodded, climbed into Tachihara Masaaki's arms, and suddenly hugged Tachihara Masaaki tightly.

"!!!" Tachihara Masaaki was shocked by Mori Xue's actions.

Mori Xue turned around and tried to express her concern with her eyes: "Zheng Qiu... smile..."

When Masaaki Tachihara came to his senses, the face of Yamaguchi Yota appeared in his mind again.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoxue, for making you worry again, but thanks to Xiaoxue, I'm much better now."

Tachihara Masaaki paused for a moment and took out a piece of iron from his clothes.

Masaaki Tachihara used his special ability on the iron piece in his hand. As the light representing the special ability disappeared, the iron piece in Masaaki Tachihara's hand turned into a snowflake-shaped brooch.

Tachihara Masaaki pinned the brooch in front of Mori Xue's heart, nodded, and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

"I knew it would look great on Xiaoxue. When I first saw you in your princess dress, I thought you would look really cute wearing a brooch like this.

The material of this brooch is part of the iron sheet that saved Yangtai before, and the remaining part... is used to record the number of times I have been rescued... It’s okay, it’s not important.”

Tachihara Masaaki hesitated to speak, shook his head, and decided not to tell Mori Xue about this.

"Okay, Xiaoxue, it's time to study~"

Mori Xue touched the brooch on her chest, nodded with satisfaction, loosened her arms around Tachihara Masaaki, and prepared to crawl to sit next to Tachihara Masaaki, but was suddenly stopped by a hand -

"Sorry, Xiaoxue, could you please sit on my lap today? Only today, let the lovely Xiaoxue heal me."

Tachihara Masaaki clasped his hands together and looked at Mori Yuki in a pleading manner, and silently said the last words in his heart -

Also remind me not to blame my mistakes on children who know nothing...

Mori Xue nodded, sat obediently on Tachihara Masaaki's lap, and waited for Tachihara Masaaki to start the class.

Tachihara Masaaki cleared his throat and spoke slowly:

"Today, Mr. Tachihara saw green buds sprouting on the trees near the campsite. This means that the cold winter is over and spring is coming. When you think of spring, you will think of cherry blossoms."

"Sakura...Sakura?"

"Yes, cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms are small pink flowers that grow on trees. They are very beautiful. When the wind blows, sometimes a few cherry blossom petals will fall to the ground. If you have the chance, you can go to the cherry blossom forest to see the large patches of pink flowers and the pink petals that fall in the breeze. It is really a beautiful sight. If you have the chance, well, I really want to... take another look~

However, since Changan Island is in the Pacific Ocean, Changan Island is definitely gone. But if Changan Island is close to Liben's island, I seem to have heard someone say that there might be cherry blossoms. Hiss, who was it? I seem to remember that it was someone who had stayed in Changan Island for a long time before I came.

He said that when he was scouting the terrain before the war, he noticed that there seemed to be cherry blossom trees on an island across a large sea. He was so excited when he saw the pink flowers on the island during the day, and thought that he must go and see them after the war... Who was it... Ah, I remember, it seems to be... Boss..."

Then there was deathly silence.

Mori Xue saw that Tachihara Masaaki's face, which had improved slightly, suddenly turned worse. When she was about to hug Tachihara Masaaki again to comfort him, she heard Tachihara Masaaki whisper:

"Today... let's stop here, it's time to rest..."

So, each with their own thoughts, Tachihara Masaaki and Mori Yuki lay on the bed, said good night to each other, and fell asleep with their backs to each other.

After one hour--

Mori Xue opened her eyes in the darkness, listened to the even breathing of Tachihara Masaaki, and confirmed again and again that Tachihara Masaaki was still asleep. Then she put on her clothes quietly, left the resting place, and walked in one direction in the dark, muttering from time to time.

"Cherry blossoms..."

Two hours after Mori Xue left——

"Ring——" The alarm bell suddenly rang and the enemy suddenly launched an attack.

Masaaki Tachihara hurriedly got up and put on his clothes, and noticed that Mori Xue had disappeared. Although Mori Xue had never left him without saying goodbye in this situation before, the battle situation was urgent and the communicator kept urging him. Masaaki Tachihara didn't have time to think too much, and quickly reached the assembly point to pick up his weapons. After a short rest, he stepped into the boundless "hell" again.

...

The battle was as fierce as ever. The only difference was that today's battle was more difficult than usual, as if - it had returned to the state before Mori Xue came.

"Where's that monster!"

"Where on earth is S1999!"

Tachihara Masaaki hasn't heard this name for a long time, but judging from the situation on the battlefield, Mori Xue is missing for some reason, and due to Mori Xue's absence, the battle situation has changed from being evenly matched to being unilaterally crushed by the enemy.

Tachihara Masaaki was tiredly waiting for orders in the trench. He looked up at the sky in the distance and suddenly opened his eyes wide. "Hey! Everyone, get down!"

"Boom--" A bomb hit the trench where Liyuan Masaaki was. In a moment, Liyuan Masaaki and several of his companions were covered by the sweeping heat wave.
