Summary: The Elves' Daily Love

I was confessed to for the first time in my life.

Yun Ci was a little confused.

She raised her hand and touched her heart which was feeling a little hot.

I wanted to answer directly with "Of course I would."

But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.

Seeing this, Rengoku Kyojuro did not force her to respond immediately, but told her not to be anxious and to think about it slowly. Then he took her out to play as usual, and finally carried her home - although Yun Ci was a little absent-minded in the second half.

【Host. 】

As soon as we returned to Yunci's room, Xiaoai came out impatiently.

[Such a good opportunity, why don't you respond? 】

Yun Ci lowered her eyes, hiding the confusion in them... or was it confusion?

"I just……"

But when I saw Rengoku Kyojuro's eyes full of seriousness, I felt that my half-hearted answer was not suitable to be said out loud, and it felt like an insult to the other party.

Xiao Ai, who sensed Yun Ci's thoughts because of her complicated feelings, said: ...

He remembered what that adult had said and sighed silently.

[The host also likes Rengoku Kyojuro, right? How can this be considered an insult? ]

"Like?" Yun Ci denied subconsciously, "I was created, I don't have such a thing as 'emotions', the so-called 'like' is just 'acting'."

Just like before.

Her body, soul... everything was created and is "false".

In order to be in touch with the "truth", she learned to observe and to act, but no matter how she acted, fake was fake.

This kind of "fakeness" is not worthy of such sincere feelings.

[So are you acting out your current emotions? ]

Xiao Ai's voice seemed to become much more mature in an instant.

[You feel that you are unworthy and undeserving. This is your "truth."]

[Host, you are now a "human". ]

【A real person.】

Who says acting isn’t real?

Is it possible that the path that one takes for the sake of acting out reality is no longer real?

[Host, the fact that you consider so much is already "real".]

After saying that, Xiao Ai disappeared, staying alone in the backstage, watching the data line representing Yun Ci fluctuate constantly, and smilingly sent a good signal to the adult.

Having mood swings is a good thing.

This shows that she is slowly moving towards the "truth".

Yunci was thinking.

Putting everything aside, what is her opinion of Rengoku Kyojuro?

This was not an easy thing to do because she was used to "acting".

This was almost deeply rooted in her bones and her soul. All her actions were based on this premise, which made her overturn everything.

It's hard.

But thinking of the other party's sincerity, Yun Ci felt that she had to respond seriously.

At the same time, Xiao Ai’s words were circling uncontrollably in my mind.

Is this emotion you are feeling now just acting out?

no.

Although she is fake, she has learned the concepts of right and wrong through learning.

That's why when Rengoku Kyojuro showed such sincerity, I felt that my role was unworthy of it.

This idea is real.

The sincere Purgatory Kyojuro deserves a sincere response.

Does she like Rengoku Kyojuro?

According to common sense, it is hard not to like Rengoku Kyojuro with such a personality.

No, no, no, you can’t follow common sense, you have to follow your own ideas.

My own thoughts...

Doesn't the fact that she thinks so carefully show what she is thinking?

Thinking so seriously——

That night, Yun Ci had a dream.

After a long time, she dreamed of the Mother Goddess.

The Mother Goddess gently embraced her and said, "Although you were created by the Mother Goddess, you are no different from other living beings."

"You were simply 'conceived' by the Mother Goddess in another way, and then 'born'."

"You are just like everyone else, learning and moving forward... you are just taking a different path, right?"

"Child, do not doubt your own authenticity. Your existence is real."

"you are you."

Yun Ci seemed to have slept for a long time. When she woke up, she saw Rengoku Kyojuro's worried face. He was changing the towel on her forehead.

"Mr. Purgatory?"

"Sorry, Xiaoci, you have a fever. It's my fault for running too fast yesterday..."

Rengoku Kyojuro was very upset.

The first time I took the girl I liked out to play, I actually made her have a fever. It was really... not a very pleasant experience.

fever?

what.

She is human now.

Yun Ci shook her head slightly, and then she felt dizzy.

This wonderful experience made Yun Ci subconsciously shake her head again.

A bit novel.

"It's okay, I forgot to add barrier protection."

Rengoku Kyojuro didn't argue that it was all his fault. He just suppressed his annoyance and self-blame in his heart, picked up the warm water beside him and asked her, "Would you like some water?"

Yun Ci nodded, and Rengoku Kyojuro helped her up and slowly fed her water.

Maybe because she ate too much last night, Yun Ci was not hungry at all. After drinking some water and feeling a little more energetic, she took out some medicine from her warehouse and swallowed it.

After taking the pill, Yun Ci's two ears instantly emitted hot air with a hissing sound, and she was completely healed in just a few seconds.

But this scene of steam coming out of the ears not only scared Rengoku Kyojuro, but also frightened Chijuro who came to deliver porridge, and the porridge spilled all over the floor.

"This this……"

"This is a medicine I researched based on records." Yun Ci shook the small porcelain bottle at the two brothers. "Although it may feel scary when you first see it, it's actually quite fun, and the effect is very fast."

Most importantly, the materials it’s made of are very common and the easiest to find.

Rengoku Kyojuro looked at the medicine bottle in amazement, and his admiration for Yun Ci increased even more.

"Xiao Ci is really amazing to be able to research such a medicine."

Chijuro nodded in agreement: "Sister is amazing."

"It's not bad."

Yun Ci, who had recovered her spirit, stood up and stretched out her arms and legs, then asked the two of them to boil some hot water so that she could wash off the stickiness on her body comfortably. When she went out, there was porridge prepared by Chijuro waiting for her, and the bedding in the room had also been taken out by Rengoku Kyojuro to dry in the sun.

……so good.

Yunci finished the porridge with some pickles, and Senjuro left to wash the dishes. Rengoku Kyojuro pushed Yunci back into the bed.

"Although you have recovered, you should still rest more to avoid a recurrence."

It won't happen again, but Yun Ci will still be obedient.

Perhaps it was this human body that was causing trouble, but now she was enjoying Rengoku Kyojuro's company, especially after she fell ill.

Yun Ci lay in the bed, staring at Rengoku Kyojuro who was standing beside her.

"Mr. Purgatory."

"Ok?"

"Kyojuro."

"!"

Rengoku Kyojuro was startled and looked at Yunci in surprise.

"I think I like you, too."

"Although there are still many things I don't understand, this is also the first time I have developed such a relationship with someone... If there are any things that I am slow to notice, I hope you can understand and tell me directly. I will continue to learn."

"I want to be with you."

"This is my answer to you after careful consideration."

Rengoku Kyojuro's expression changed, and finally he just smiled and put his warm hands on Yunci's eyes, whispering softly:

"what."

“That’s really great…”
