I Will Be the Son of Man

"Why did Brother Hill pass by here?"

"The ingredients at home are almost running out, so I bought some new ones to take back."

"That's right, that's right, hehe......"

Illya laughed a few times. For such an obvious matter, her inquiry made the atmosphere even more awkward.

"Why is Illya staying here and not going home?"

Suddenly, Hill turned to look at Illya.

"Eh?"

Illya froze for a moment, she looked at Hill, pursed her lips, and then asked.

"Slightly, thinking about something..."

"Really."

Hill blinked and didn't ask any more questions, and the atmosphere became silent again.

"Well, Brother Hill can actually go back first......"

"It's dangerous to be out alone at a time like this."

Of course, the object here refers specifically to primary school students like Illya.

After all, judging from the information learned in the book, the other party's situation is not safe.

Although there is still Miyu at home waiting for him to go back, Hill decided to stay here for a while.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be like this..."

Illya murmured in a low voice, but didn't say anything more.

She fiddled with her fingers, and after thinking for a while, she slowly spoke.

"Brother Hill, won't you feel scared when recycling cards?"

"Fear?"

Confusion appeared in Hill's eyes. In fact, he still didn't quite understand the concept of emotion.

"That's right, such a battle might put my life in danger......"

Illya explained, even though she had also seen Hill's power, she understood that it might be a very simple matter for the other party to recover the 【Employment Card】.

However, when faced with such a situation and attack, she was still curious about what the other party was thinking.

"I have no idea.........."

Hill frowned and shook his head lightly.

"However, even if you are really afraid, you have to do it."

"Because, I can't let Meiyu collect [employment card] alone."

"Illya, are you scared?"

Illya nodded slightly and replied softly.

"Hmm...and, I can't do as well as Miyu..."

Recalling that night at the very beginning, she relied on Miyu's appearance to deal with the enemy transformed by the [Job Card], and Illya felt the gap between herself and Miyu more and more.

What's more, with Hill's help now, the outcome of the matter may be the same with or without her.

However, there is always a feeling of regret in her heart.

It's not an emotion of resignation, but I always feel that I just quit like this, and I have thrown all the remaining things to others, and I feel a little bit "cunning" .

But if you look deeper, she was not obliged to do this, she was just involved.

However, looking at the strong Miyu and Hill who took the initiative to participate in this matter for Miyu, Illya couldn't help but feel concerned.

"For Illya, why don't you just be yourself?"

"Do what you want to do, Illya is Illya."

Listening to these slightly convoluted words, Ilya couldn't help becoming a little confused.

"Although, although I don't seem to understand, but, do you want to do what you want......"

With a murmur, Illya was thoughtful.

"Illya, what do you want to do?"

"I don't know much about other things, but I want to be friends with Miyu......"

After all, the two are in the same class, and they are also magical girls, so while she has a little longing for Miyu, who is stronger than herself, Illya also has this slightly embarrassing thought.

Of course, she had already regarded Meiyu as a friend in private.

Although they didn't get along for a long time, Miyu actually took good care of Illya when they were in school.Especially, when it comes to homework.

"friend?"

Hill blinked, turned his head and thought for a while, then looked at Illya and said.

"So, are you coming to my house?"

"Eh?"

**********

The Hill family.

Hearing the ringing of the doorbell, Miyu temporarily stopped what she was doing, and ran directly to the entrance without taking off her apron.

Opening the door, Miyu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Hill's figure.

Because according to past habits, Hill should have returned long ago when he went out to buy ingredients.

"Welcome back, brother."

Miyu smiled faintly, but just as her smile stretched halfway, a petite girl with silver hair suddenly appeared from behind Hill.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you, Miyu......"

Illya scratched her face, because of Hill's guest invitation, she took advantage of the situation and followed.

Moreover, Hill also stopped by to say hello to his family.

Of course, Sera and the others hesitated at first, but they seemed to want to understand something, so they agreed again.

Miyu looked at Hill, then at Illya standing beside Hill.

For some reason, watching this scene, a little unnatural emotion appeared in her heart.

However, Miyu quickly came back to her senses.

"Dinner is almost ready, and it's just in time for my brother to come back."

"Illya, if you don't mind, please stay and have dinner."

Seeing Miyu's etiquette suddenly becoming more thoughtful, Illya couldn't help becoming nervous.

Anyway, I always feel oppressive, Miyu......

"Then, I'll excuse you..."

**********

by the dining table.

Illya sat on the chair, eating carefully, looking at Hill who was also eating from time to time, and Miyu who seemed to be looking at Hill all the time.

Suddenly, the eyes of Illya and Miyu collided, and Illya subconsciously withdrew her eyes in fright.

Why, why did I react like this, when I didn't do anything......

Ilya blinked, not understanding the reason for the inexplicable guilt in her heart.

Fortunately, the dinner ended without anything else happening.

Sitting at the dining table, Ilya couldn't help but sigh slightly in her heart.

Sure enough, Miyu is very good, and the level of cooking seems to be almost catching up with my brother......

"As for the bowl, let me wash it."

Hill stood up, interrupting Miyu's original plan.

At the same time, when he was walking towards the kitchen space, he also stopped in the middle.Then he turned around and gave Illya a thumbs up, as if signaling something.

No, even if you know that Brother Hill, you are thinking about what I said before, but would such a hint be too obvious......

The corner of Illya's mouth twitched slightly, because she saw that Miyu was also looking at Hill at this time.

However, Hill continued to walk towards the kitchen without incident as if he didn't notice Miyu's confused gaze.

Miyu withdrew her gaze, looked up at Illya who was sitting opposite her, and said.

"What do you want from me, Illya?"

"No, that, how should I put it......"

Yi Liya suddenly became a little embarrassed, because when she was in the park, she followed the atmosphere and said what she said from the bottom of her heart.

But let her face herself directly, to be honest, it's a bit hard to say.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Illya has not fully figured out what she wants to do.

However, under the pressure of Miyu's direct gaze, Illya felt more and more restless.

So, she got hot-headed and said simply.

"Actually, I still want to be a magical girl!"

"Eh?"

Miyu's face was obviously confused, she looked at the emotional Illya, and suddenly felt that she was a little strange.

"Yes, is it..."

Haha...... This reaction is definitely regarded as a strange person......

Ilya smiled dryly, and before she could explain anything, the doorbell rang again.
