Reborn as a short-lived loli who can only live for three years

"Anyway, let's look for some information first!"

Junior high school campus, large library.

Ying looked at the rows of huge bookshelves again, her eyes shining with excitement.

……

After Tokieda Yume declared the club's 'crisis', she issued the first club mission, which was to collect information on magic shielding materials and then report at the same time next weekend.

Ivy was not interested in this kind of thing, after all, she hadn't finished her weekend homework yet.

Although Yuru felt that Senior Tokieda Yume must have her reasons for planning this, he didn't have the energy to collect information because he hadn't finished his weekend homework.

But Ying Youyou was different. She was particularly interested in these materials with unique functions. After the club meeting, she couldn't wait to suggest to the two of them to go to the big library. Although she hadn't finished her homework, she could copy it!

"I'll go and reserve a seat." Yu Liu was a frequent visitor to the library. Coming to the library was like coming home. He found a seat in the reading area and sat down directly.

Ying dragged Ivy to the secret realm classification area again, and quickly pulled out a lot of information.

"The secret realm is definitely the most critical source of materials. We can try to find a secret realm that meets the requirements."

“That’s an idea indeed.” Ivy stretched out his hand and took the increasingly heavy documents.

After sitting down, Ying began to read the materials with great interest, while the other two were writing their homework furiously.

Time passes slowly.

"The secret realm exploration course will not be offered until next semester. No matter how carefully you look at it now, you cannot go to explore it in person." Yu Liu couldn't help but say something to dampen her enthusiasm.

The secret realm is still too dangerous for the new first-year junior high school students, so except for the use of the secret realm as a venue for the initial stage examinations, the formal secret realm exploration course will not be started until the next semester.

Perhaps the only people who had the opportunity to enter the secret realm last semester were the apprentices in the Potion Garden.

In front of people who are doing their homework seriously, Ying is like a bad kid holding extracurricular books, exuding an irresistible charm and challenging people's self-control.

"What do you know? This is called advance preparation. By then, I will become the most powerful expert."

"The thing that needs to be prepared in advance is probably the review for the midterm exam."

"It's just a midterm exam, just review it casually~"

"Hehe, don't cry if you get the last place in the exam." Yu Liu sneered.

"I will work hard to get into the top 100!" Ying vowed again and set a goal that was not difficult.

"Is there anything that Avi is interested in? I'll help you keep an eye out for it."

Ying Youyou has already regarded herself as a future expert on secret realms.

“Herbs.”

"Roger that!"

……

As dusk approached, Ivy packed up her homework and backpack and stood up.

"I have something to do and I'm leaving first. Please bring the book back for me later."

Ying was shocked again: "Who are you going to find?"

Ivy patted her head and said, “Talk to Wan Ye about something. Wait for me in the restaurant for dinner. Let’s go eat something delicious.”

The next moment, Ying was smiling again.

"Is that so? Okay then~"

She has become very skilled at knowing how to make Ying happy again.

Yu Liu watched this scene with a complicated expression. Although he had already felt it, he once again felt that the Chief was a fool.

……

Activity campus, rooftop training ground.

When Ivy arrived to keep the appointment, Wan Yexi was condensing pure fire magic again and again, shooting at the target in the distance, constantly optimizing his casting skills.

"Thank you for your hard work." When Wan Yexi came over, Ivy handed her a glass of juice.

"Thank you, Vivi."

She took Ivy to an unmanned observation tower. The roof was made of a sturdy transparent material, so they could observe the starry sky clearly at night.

Ivy looked up at the red glow in the sky and unconsciously tightened the cup in his hand.

Even though this is the second time I've decided to confess, I still feel nervous.

“Don’t talk first.” Ivy avoided his gaze, lowered his head, and organized his words.

"What you said that day..."

"You asked me if I should tell you first."

“…This sentence gave me a lot of courage.”

"I had planned to work hard on my own, so I was afraid that if I was exposed, I would be in trouble."

"But you made me realize that I can... not be alone."

"That's why I made up my mind to go find Tokieda Yume... But will you be angry that you didn't become the first person to know?"

Ivy looked up at Wan Yexi, then lowered his head again: "You can talk now."

Wan Yexi chuckled helplessly and put his arm around Ivy.

"of course not."

"For me, what matters most is how you feel."

"Um……"

……

Ivy suddenly felt that she had made the atmosphere very pretentious, and it was no use telling a story this way.

Then, there was a crisp sound of "slap", and a small palm print appeared on Ivy's face.

"Vivi?! Why did you suddenly hit yourself?" Wan Yexi was startled.

“…It’s okay.” Ivy covered her face and sat opposite her. “This will help me calm down.”

"Really? ... Then I'll try it next time."

Ivy told a story about the future. This was the second time she touched on this topic. She was no longer as confused and uneasy as before. She just calmly used her imagination to recreate what happened at that time.

Wan Yexi listened to her story quietly and never interrupted her.

This feeling was really strange. He had not personally witnessed the scene, and it was clearly just someone else's story. He was just recalling the messy and hasty handwriting on the paper, but at that moment, Ivi seemed to see his companions who had left one after another. The frustration and despair in their eyes seemed to be still vivid in his mind.

She viewed all this as a future that could be avoided, but suddenly she realized that these were facts that had already happened.

Before I realized it, my vision suddenly blurred and tears rolled down from my hot eyes.

The sound stopped suddenly.

“?” Ivy wiped away the tears on her face as if she was getting in the way.

Seeing Wan Yexi wanted to get up, she waved her hand hurriedly: "It's okay, don't worry about me, my eyes just suddenly broke down."

But the tears continued to fall.

"Your eyes are not damaged, you just tensed up for too long."

"No, that's not what I meant." Ivy pushed away Wan Yexi who wanted to comfort her, turned around and kept wiping away her tears that were getting in the way.

"Vivi, you..." Wan Yexi was about to say something.

Ivy pushed her half-full glass of juice.

"I want to stay away from the water."

Wan Ye Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

……

After a moment, Ivy really controlled her tears.

"This is the situation. Although Shizhi Meng suggested that I hide the part about time, I think you can know everything. This is the greatest sincerity I can show, so I hope you can stand on my side."

Although, Ivy still concealed the fact about the side effects of magic.

Wan Ye Xi just let out a long sigh.

"You are really unlovable sometimes." Wan Yexi still felt sorry for not being able to comfort Ivy.

"No need to ask."

-

"Because I will always stand by you."
