【Yo Deng】Badger and Snake

Well. "Qihai followed her into the bathroom, "Sister Lian is fine, and asked me if I want to have breakfast together. "

"So have you eaten?" Yu squeezed the toothpaste on the toothbrush, rationally wanting to drive Qihai out, but emotionally and subtly reluctant.She secretly looked at the tall figure of the other party from the corner of her eye; Qihai was wearing a slim dark green robe today, with dark gold embossing on the cuffs and stand-up collar, which made the whole person elegant and majestic, making it hard to move your eyes away.

Noticing Yu's gaze, Qihai raised her eyebrows and said, "I ate it before I came here—Yu's hair looks so pretty, and her pajamas are also very cute."

Yu Teng blushed suddenly.She still had foam in her mouth, so she could only mutter a few times indistinctly, and then pushed Qihai out of the bathroom.After closing the door, she tugged at her pajamas that were printed with jellyfish patterns, feeling a bit frustrated—this was their first date, and the lover came to see her in a well-groomed manner, but she showed this virtue to others...

——Be sure to give Xiao Lian a good lesson later, how can you let someone into the house casually?

Koito Yuu who was thinking this way completely forgot that her lover was a real witch, even if she was refused to come to her room, she could come to her room just by waving her magic wand.

After washing up, Yu opened the door of the bathroom, and found that Qihai had consciously left the room at some point, leaving her a space to change clothes.After locking the door, Yu began to choose among his limited robes.She tried her best to impress her lover, but she never expected that Koito Rei was downstairs talking to Qihai Dengzi about her childhood embarrassment——

"Yes, yes, she brought the ladder over," Lian said while dancing, "But she is still not high enough to stand on the ladder! Not only did she not reach the book she wanted to take, but she even fell off herself! Hahahahaha -"

"Pfft." Qi Hai couldn't help laughing, "Is everything okay afterward?"

"It's okay, I just fell and hurt my butt, and cried for a long time." Lian waved his hands.

"This is really..." Qihai began to imagine Xiao Xiaoyu crying because of the pain.But before she had time to fully immerse herself in her imagination, Koito Rei lowered her voice and brought her back to reality:

"—Speaking of which, Xiao Qihai, are you two in a relationship?"

"Ah?" Qihai didn't react for a while, "You, why did you suddenly..." She looked at the woman in front of her who suddenly stopped smiling with some surprise.Although she didn't deliberately conceal this matter, she was still shocked by the speed at which Koito saw through it. Did the two sisters even pass on insight?

"Really?" Lian exhaled, "You can feel it just by looking at you together."

Qihai Dengzi sat up straight, her expression became serious: "Yes... we are indeed dating. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about it."

"It's okay," Lian waved her hand, "It's really hard to say this kind of thing, I understand. Hongjun and I had been dating for a long time before I told my family, let alone the two of you..." She looked at Qihai solemnly At a glance, "They're all girls."

Qi Hai's heart tightened, and she began to think carefully about her words: "I know that the Muggle world treats us like this...attitude is not very friendly, but from the point of view of wizards, this is actually a very common thing, it's just..."

"It's just that it's troublesome to have no heirs, right?" Lian raised her chin, "As you said before, pure blood is particularly stressful in this regard-if I remember correctly, you are a pure blood, right?"

"Yes," Qihai nodded, "but I am not the only daughter in the family, and I am not valued by the family, so there will be no pressure from marriage contracts and children. Please rest assured about this."

"Can you guarantee it?" Lian's eyes became sharp. "It may be like this now, but what about the future? If there are any changes—can you guarantee that you will be by her side no matter what?"

Qihai clenched her fists on her knees, and said word by word: "I swear to Merlin—as long as this heart is still beating, as long as she still needs me, then I will die."

Koito looked at her, but didn't speak.The ticking of the clock on the wall, the rubbing sound of the curtains being blown by the wind, the joyous laughter from the TV—Qami’s forehead was gradually wet with sweat, and she understood that success or failure depended on one action—if she looked away , If she can't even pass this test, what qualifications does she have to stand in front of You and promise that she will bring her happiness?

Looking at the person sitting opposite, Lian sighed from the bottom of her heart.First-class appearance and aspirations, needs to be polished but obviously has unlimited potential in dealing with people, calm, intelligent, decisive and responsible-if it is not a female gender, then it is simply an ideal candidate.

—Mother will definitely object.she thought.But Dad's ears are soft, if you tell him well, there should be no problem.

Realizing that he had already started to think about the way forward for these two people, Lian shook his head self-deprecatingly.Qihai was frightened by this, she couldn't help but tighten her robe, and said dryly: "You..."

"This child, Yu, has a very mild temper," Lian interrupted her, "She seldom likes anything, from childhood to adulthood. But——"

She looked up into those blue eyes.

"Once she likes it, it's a lifetime thing."

Qihai's body shook, her heart was full of sourness and joy, and she couldn't even say a word for a while.

"So," Lian looked at her seriously, "Come on, Xiao Qihai."

"I will," Qihai choked up, "Thank you, Miss Lian."

"I should." Lian smiled and stood up, "Okay, it's about time for Yu to come down, I'll make her hot breakfast."

"Let me help you." Qihai hurriedly stood up.The frozen air began to flow again, and she let go of her clenched hands, only to realize that she was sweating unconsciously.

——Not yet.Looking at the hands, she thought.With such an appearance, is he really qualified to hold that girl in his arms?

"——what are you doing? It smells so good."

Just when her heart was shaking, footsteps and gentle greetings sounded behind her.Qihai turned her head, and her eyes were lit up by the girl's smiling face.

"Yu." She called out involuntarily.

"Huh?" The girl tilted her head in confusion, her appearance was so cute that it made one's heart tremble.Qihai suppressed the restlessness in her heart with all her strength, took her hand lightly, and said with a smile, "I'm making you a hot breakfast."

Hearing this, Yu poked his head over and his eyes lit up immediately: "It's Tamagoyaki——"

"Yeah," Lian replied, "and miso soup."

Yu clapped his hands happily: "Hurry up, I haven't eaten for a long time——"

Qihai looked at the girl's impatient look with a smile, her inner turmoil was gone.At this moment, she has only one belief, and she stands here only for that belief—that is her pillar and driving force, her harbor and home, and even more so, her only love in this life.

——If you feel that you are not qualified, then continue to exercise; if you feel that you cannot do it, then change your mind; if you feel that it is difficult, then do your best.

She won't let go of Koito Yu's hand, absolutely not.

※※※

After breakfast, the two said goodbye to Lian, and then returned to the room on the third floor.

"Are you ready?" Qihai pulled out her wand, "It may be a little uncomfortable after the first Apparation, but it will be fine after a while."

"Ready." Yu stretched out his hand, as if expecting the other party to hold it, but Nanami didn't respond.

She frowned suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Qihai took two steps forward, and the two got so close that they almost bumped into each other.She lowered her head slightly, whispered in Yu's ear, "Hold me tight."

"What?" Yu's ears felt hot, "Isn't it enough to just hold hands?"

"But I want to hug you," Qihai said as if it was a matter of course, "otherwise I really don't feel safe."

"...Who on earth is apparating whom!" Yuu grumbled, but still obediently wrapped his arms around the opponent's waist.Qihai immediately spread her arms and hugged her tightly.She sighed comfortably, tilted her head, rubbed the girl's soft orange hair slightly, and murmured: "Yu...I miss you so much."

"I'm here." Yuu replied sullenly.

"I know," the woman said hoarsely, "but I still miss you so much."

"..." Yu silently tightened his arms and opened his mouth, "Mmm..."

She is not good at talking about love, and she didn't understand why the characters in romance novels love to talk about love—but when she was ironed by her lover's language and body temperature, she realized how fulfilling and happy it is experience.

"I also... miss you very much." So she whispered this sentence, hoping that she could bring the same feeling to the other party.

Qihai Dengzi laughed lowly in her ear, she raised her hand and rubbed the top of the girl's head vigorously, then murmured: "Going away?"

"it is good."

"One, two, three—Apparate!"

The squeezing feeling came from all directions, so dense that it was breathless, as if being bound and sliding through a narrow pipe - this was by no means a comfortable experience, but the heat on Qihai Dengzi's body and the strength of his arms Let Koito Yu feel extremely at ease - she knows that she will be fine; this woman will not let her be in trouble.

The uncomfortable feeling faded after a few seconds, Koito opened her eyes, and found that she was already in a completely different world - they were standing in an antique alley, with brick ground under their feet and a floor beside them The height of the brick wall, some houses inside the wall seem to be residential houses.

"Is the architectural style of Devon County like this?" You left Dengzi's embrace, and looked curiously at the moss-covered brick wall beside him, who reluctantly withdrew his hand and said, "No, only this The area is relatively retro. The McMillan Playground is deep in this alley, let’s go.”

At the end of the alley was a wooden house that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. The door was rotten, and there were several spider webs wrapped around the two-meter-high door frame.Yu squinted his eyes for a long time before he could vaguely recognize the words "McMillan Playground" on the mottled signboard next to it.

"Is this playground really newly opened?" Qihai Dengzi expressed the question in her heart.Yu shrugged: "Zhu Li said it's only been open for a month—she better not lie to me."

"Then go in and have a look." Deng Zi took her hand, and the two walked into the wooden house with a slight bend. A passageway of more than ten cars, with colorful flashing characters (“Welcome to McMillan Playground!”) above the passageway, and two wizards dressed as clowns standing beside the crossing shouted to the bustling crowd: “Guide! The manual is distributed for free!" "Ten Galleons for a Quick Play Pass!"

The two turned their heads and found that there was a flat stone road behind them, and the door of the wooden house had long since disappeared.

"It seems that the door has been cast with a very advanced teleportation magic," Nanami commented, "and it's just one of the countless entrances to McMillan's Playground."

"It seems so." Yu nodded, and took a tour map from the clown wizard, "Where do we start?"

"Let me see." Qihai stroked her hair again, and leaned over to look at the picture. "This playground is not big..." Her fingers circled clockwise, and finally stopped at the "Wonderful" nearest to the entrance of the passage. "Bubble House": "Go to this first?"

"Okay."

During the conversation, the two had reached the end of the passage.The McMillan Playground presents a regular oval shape on the map, and ten facilities, large and small, are located around the central pond, and a small shining platform is drawn near the entrance of the central pond, with The small golden characters read "Today's event: Patronus Compatibility Test! Only for Couples".

Yoo looked up, and found that the table was in front of her, and an old witch was squatting on a small stool, yawning boredly.

"There's no one queuing up!" Yu was gearing up, "It would be great if I could release the physical Patronus... just a little bit..."

"Just a little bit?" Qihai was a little surprised, "I remember when I guided you last time, you couldn't even release the fog—"

"That's all in the past!" The girl pouted with some dissatisfaction, "I practiced it at home for a long time! It's almost taking shape!" When she said the last sentence, she proudly puffed out her chest.

Qihai was amused by her appearance: "Really? How did you do it?"

"I won't tell you." Yu walked forward with her hands behind her back.Qihai hurried to catch up, and deliberately asked: "Hey - no, just tell me!"

During the fight, the "Wonderful Bubble House" on the map is already in sight.The appearance of this "bubble house" is three connected, huge pink bubbles, which lives up to its name.Yoo stretched out his hand to touch the outer wall, and found that there was still a little elasticity, and he didn't know what material it was made of.

There were not many people queuing in front, and they were quickly led to the door of the bubble house in the middle.The goblin at the door pushed his unilateral glasses, slowly took out his gold pocket watch, and said in a shrill voice: "The play time limit is 10 minutes, counting from the moment you enter."

The moment they stepped into the threshold, Qihai and Yu immediately understood why this building was called "Wonderful Bubble House".Surrounding them, spreading on the ground, and flying in the air—all are bubbles; big and small, colorful, and full of elasticity.

"This is really..." Qihai Hai admired while playing with a purple bubble, squeezing it into various shapes, "It's so amazing..."

"There is a bubble," Yu pushed aside the sea of ​​bubbles in front of him, "but where is the 'wonderful'? No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary bubble..."

A cracking sound of "Pu Chi" answered her doubts.You looked at the source of the voice, and found that Qihai beside her had disappeared at some point—she widened her eyes, and just about to call out the other party's name, she heard a scream belonging to Qihai: "Ahhhh ah--!"

Yu took a closer look and found a dwarf hedgehog the size of a palm lying on his feet.

"???" She looked down at the hedgehog trying to raise itself up, stretching out its hands and feet the size of a little finger to her, but in the end - accidentally turned somersault, and the whole hedgehog fell on its back. , screaming in surprise: "Wow——Yo! Help!"

Koito squatted down in disbelief, and held the struggling hedgehog in his hand: "Ex...Senior?"

"Yo!!" The hedgehog spit out the other party's name accurately from his small mouth, and tears seemed to fill his small pitch-black eyes, "Why did I suddenly become smaller! I just squeezed the bubble." It's just soaking—"

"Pfft——" You hurriedly pursed her lips, but unfortunately she still couldn't hold back: "Hahahahaha——! So it is like this!" She laughed loudly, "Senior, you have become a hedgehog!!"

"What!" Qihai seemed to have noticed her delicate little feet and soft thorns on her back, "How could I-!"

"I'm afraid it's because you popped the bubble." You held back a smile and stood up, holding the hedgehog and continuing to walk into the house.She found that the terrain here seemed to be of all kinds, divided into seven or eight different areas. They stood on the land under their feet, adjacent to the rainforest and desert, and a piece of water in the distance.She mumbled as she walked toward the water, "If I'm right..."

"...Every time a bubble is popped, it will turn into an animal?" Qihai Hedgehog lay on her palm, her mood has calmed down, "It seems that this is the so-called 'wonderful' bubble house."

"Yeah." Walking to the side of the water, Yu bent down, picked up a light blue bubble from the water surface, and squeezed it hard——

The change happened suddenly: she felt that she was sliding down quickly, her arms were suddenly retracted, her legs were brought together to form a tail fin, and her mouth protruded infinitely forward——

"Dolphin!" Qihai the hedgehog landed on the ground, looking at the bewildered lover with sparkling eyes, "You have become a dolphin!! So beautiful!!!"

"Wow!" Dolphin You's body was half in the water and half on the ground at this time. She felt very uncomfortable about this, so she swung her tail fin vigorously, sending her whole body into the water, causing a splash of "puchi".

"It's so comfortable!" The dolphin narrowed its eyes, opened and closed its slender kisses, and made a voice that belonged to a girl.

"I also want to—" Hedgehog Qihai tried his best to grab a bubble on the shore, and began to bite with his mouth.Looking at this scene, the dolphin who was writhing in the water couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, senior, use the thorn, use the thorn!"

Qihai turned around in embarrassment, and pressed her back up—after the explosion, her body quickly elongated and enlarged, and finally fixed on a large cat with black stripes on a white background—the snow tiger.

Qihai raised her paw dumbly, and looked at her furry feet: "Why?" She was about to cry, "Why not a sea animal?"

"You chose Bubble on land," the dolphin swam to the shore, arching Xuehu's leg with a long kiss, "this looks very handsome—the eyes are blue, just like the seniors."

"So Yu likes my eyes?" Xuehu squatted down, lowered his head and rubbed the dolphin's face: "You are also very cute now."

The dolphin let out a low cry, as if a little shy.She stared at Xuehu's blue eyes, then boldly jumped up her upper body, and gave him a fleeting kiss—after Xuehu Qihai opened her mouth stupidly, she fell back into the water safely, and said with a smile : "I like everything about Senior."

"Woo——" Qihai covered her hot face with her paws, "You...really..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she heard her lover exclaim, "Wow!"

Raising his head, Xuehu Qihai found that his lover had turned back into a human form, and was thrashing about in the water: "There is still a time limit for this thing?! It's too bad!"

Qihai laughed out loud: "Then you squeeze another one!" She jumped into the water and bit an orange bubble at the same time - at the same time, Yu also took a yellow one - two pops The sound sounded almost at the same time, and she watched herself and Yu getting smaller and smaller, and then—— sank to the bottom of the water.

"Yo!" She swam towards each other while falling in the pool, "Are you feeling okay?"

At this moment, Koito Yu turned into a brightly colored sea slug with black stripes on a yellow background.The slug rolled over and replied with a vocal organ out of nowhere: "It's fine—what am I like now?"

"A sea slug," Nanami replied, "some people call it a manatee. What about me?"

"You, you are—" The sea slug approached her and touched Qihai's body with its tentacles, "The flat octopus!! So cute!!!"

A series of question marks emerged in Qihai's mind: "Plate octopus?? What is that?"

"You don't know!" the sea slug rolled up the surrounding water angrily, "That's a super cute little octopus - it's unbelievable!"

"Oh, oh..." The flat-faced octopus Qihai moved its eight tentacles, "It's an octopus..."

"That's not it! It's a flat octopus!" Yu's voice sounded a little angry again.Qihai cautiously rubbed over: "Okay, okay, flat-faced octopus, flat-faced octopus."

The two molluscs snuggled together and looked around.It was the first time for them to go down to the bottom of such a deep water, and the feeling was not bad-although there were no other living creatures except them, the vegetation and corals on the bottom of the water were very beautifully arranged, which made people very eager to visit.

It's a pity that just when they were planning to play a coral adventure, the time limit came again—this time, it was the play time limit.The voice of the goblin came from afar: "There are 30 seconds left in the game, please get ready to leave."

As soon as the words fell, the two molluscs returned to their human form.Qihai quickly hugged You's waist to prevent the two from being separated in the water; Yu pulled out his magic wand, muttered something in a low voice, a thrust rose from under his feet, pushing the two of them up quickly——

"Puff!" After coming out of the water, Yu choked and coughed, "I feel, feel, their game mechanics—need to be improved——"

Qihai hugged her and rowed towards the shore: "I agree." She wiped away the wet hair in front of Yuu, "Are you okay, Yuu?"

"It's okay." Yu's breath calmed down, "It's just that I choked on my saliva while reciting the spell..."

"You will start to learn the silent spell soon." Qihai chuckled and helped her ashore.The goblin guide was already waiting on the shore, still holding the gold pocket watch in his hand: "You two are overtime." It said with a frown.

"Your settings are too unscientific," Yu retorted mercilessly, "we should let the guests be teleported directly to the door when the time limit is up."

"'Classology'?" The goblin looked at her blankly, "What is 'Classology'? It's a good idea to send back magic..."

"...Pfft." Yu covered the corners of her raised lips, "It's nothing, don't worry about it."

She smiled at Qi Hai and left this "Wonderful Bubble House".

The two who left from the "Wonderful Bubble House" walked towards the "Variety House" which is the closest distance in a straight line. This building looks unremarkable on the outside, it is just an ordinary single-family building, but it is depicted on the map. It's gaudy and reads "House of Change - Fulfill all your fantasies!" in golden cursive letters.Combined with the previous experience in the Wonderful Bubble House, both Qihai and Yu deeply felt that this playground should not be underestimated, so they stood in the waiting line with great anticipation.

※※※

Due to the very long queue time this time, it was almost noon after Qihai and Yu came out of "House of Changes".Yu seems to be still missing the experience in the "House of Variations", so he pouted and said the last line again: "Then——Dear Miss Nanami, how do you want me to serve you?"

Seven Seas burst out laughing.Perhaps it is more appropriate to change the name of this "House of Varieties" to "Acting Theater"-it will arrange a play for all players entering according to the names and relationships that the two people filled in at the goblin before entering.The two entered alone, and they also filled in the relationship between couples, so there was no doubt that they encountered three love scenes-the first scene was a romantic date between a rebellious princess and an apprentice knight, and the second scene was a vampire count with a famous lady The third scene is the story of a fledgling grand thief being "captured alive" by a rich lady.

"I think you are really suitable to be a grand thief," Qi Hai joked, "You are small, and you are not easy to be found in the dark."

"Hey!" Yu slapped her in protest, her soft fist was not aggressive, but was caught by Nanami, who brought her to her lips for a kiss.Yu struggled symbolically for a few times, and then let the other party wrap his arms around his waist: "Wait a minute, don't be here..."

"Do you feel scared?" Qihai pressed her forehead to hers, "Afraid that our relationship will be exposed to the public?"

"I'm not afraid of this," Yu looked away, "with you, I'm not afraid no matter what." After a pause, she continued: "But if I'm seen... I'm afraid it will affect your election."

"This is Devonshire, it's not so coincidental to meet someone who knows us." As if to confirm this, Qihai raised her head and pretended to look around; but this look was terrible——the smile on her face He stopped abruptly after seeing two people standing not far away.

"Professor Hakozaki..." She let go of the girl's hand in astonishment.Koito was shocked, and immediately turned her head, and she saw their ancient magic text professor smiling awkwardly and waving at the two of them: "Dengzi, and Koito-san, long time no see."

Next to Riko Hakozaki stood a woman wearing a peaked cap.Seeing this situation, she took off her hat, exposing a familiar face to the air——

"Miss Kodama!" Yuu shouted in surprise, "Why are you here, where is the wine shop?"

"Leave it to the newly recruited staff." The proprietress of the wine shop turned the hat in her hand and smiled narrowly. "I'm sorry to disturb you two. Go on, go on."

Yu blushed: "Well, we're not—"

Qi Hai hurriedly said, "I was a little excited and didn't pay attention to the occasion..."

"It's okay, it's okay, we understand," Kodama waved his hand carelessly, "after all, Riko and I have tried it too."

"Huh?!" The other three burst into exclamations of doubt or surprise.

"All!" Riko Hakozaki pinched her waist hard, "What's wrong with you! Why—"

"What does it matter? Who stipulated that Hogwarts professors can't fall in love?" Kodama took her shoulders very dissatisfied, and introduced Yu and Qihai who were in a state of confusion: "This is my Girlfriend, your Professor Hakozaki."

"..." In the chaos, Qihai was the first to react, "Well, I got it. Well, we are also... in a relationship."

Kodama patted her on the shoulder affectionately: "It's uncomfortable to talk while standing, can you find a place to sit?"

※※※

After some searching, the two found a place in a Western-style restaurant inside the McMillan Playground.By this time, Nanami and Yu had already clarified the ins and outs of the matter; Hakozaki Riko and Kodama had been in a secret relationship for seven or eight years, and it was not a coincidence that the winery was established on the secret road leading to Hogwarts.

"In short...that's what happened," Hakozaki Riko seemed a little embarrassed to reveal this side in front of the students, "I met you when I went to the Japanese Institute of Magic to study, and I didn't expect her to... When I came to England, I also, uh...opened that Japanese wine shop."

"Who told you to drink Japanese sake?" Kodama jokingly elbowed her, "Since you can't come to Japan to drink it often, I have to bring it here for you."

"You have also benefited the Japanese shamans all over the UK," Yu was deeply moved, "My father often said, 'Fortunately, there is Miss Kodama, so I can often drink the taste of my hometown'."

"Exaggerated, exaggerated," the proprietress waved her hands indifferently, "I only opened the store for Lizi, and everything else is incidental."

Qi Hai was a little dumbfounded: "You are really bold by the way."

"Speaking of which, Yuu, have you decided on your path?" While waiting for the food to be served, Riko Hakozaki knocked on the table and asked, "I heard that Mrs. Huo Qi has plans to retire and wants to recruit teaching assistants. If you If you don’t want to play professional games, but want to engage in Quidditch-related careers, maybe teaching is also a good choice.”

"I've heard that too." You sat up straight, "I'm already planning to start school and apply for a teaching assistant. If everything goes well, I hope to stay in school to teach after graduation."

This is the first time Nanami Dengzi heard Koito Yu mentioning her future plans.She was taken aback, and said in a low voice: "You...you are indeed very suitable for teaching, but...have you thought it through? Do you really like...?"

"I like it," Yu said frankly, "I've thought about it for a long time, and I think this is the most suitable path. Let me help you achieve what you want, and let me witness it, okay?"

Both Hakozaki Riko and Kodama didn't know the meaning of Koito Yu's words, but they were greatly moved when they saw Nanami Tokoko.The Slytherin prefect firmly held the girl's hand, his lips were trembling, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed it all; regardless of the fact that the two people at the table were still present, she hugged Yu forcefully, stroking Looking at her fluffy orange hair, she choked up and left a "thank you".

※※※

After lunch, Nanami Toko and Koito Yu, Hakozaki Riko and Kodama all teamed up to participate in an amusement project called "Maze Turning".This project is a competition game. Four people form a team, four teams start at the same time, and the team that finds the most treasure chests in the maze wins.Of course, there are thousands of magic traps arranged in the maze, and whether they can successfully avoid them depends on the wisdom of each team - the four finally got No.2 and lost to a team of quadruplets from Scotland.

After this project, they parted ways with Hakozaki Riko and Kodama because of the different order of play.After experiencing a "wonderful adventure" in which a person can be big and small, and a "chivalrous heart" that needs to travel through various oil painting worlds to solve tasks, the two ushered in the closing time at [-] pm.

"It's time for work! It's time for work!" "Everyone, please prepare to leave!" "Welcome to McMillan Playground again!"

Amidst the blaring of horns, Qihai took Yu's hand and came to the entrance of the passage—in order to prevent tourists from jumping in line or evading fares, apparition is not allowed in McMillan Playground.There was a continuous burst of apparition-induced explosions all around; this time, Yuu took the initiative to hug Qihai before she opened her mouth.

"Let's go." She buried her face shyly in the collar of Qihai's robe, and the latter smiled and put his arms around her waist: "Yes."

The unbearable suffocation hit again.The scene changed, and in the blink of an eye, the two had returned to Koito Yuu's room on the left side of the third floor.The setting sun slanted into the house through the window, coating the ground and the bodies of the two people with a layer of warm golden yellow.

"It's over," Yuu smiled and let go of her arms, "The first date."

"Yeah," Qihai rubbed the petite palm of the girl in his hand reluctantly, "There are too many people queuing up, and they couldn't complete the entire playground."

"It's okay, we'll go next time—" before Yuu finished speaking, Nanami sealed her mouth.As if waiting for a century, Nanami sucked hard on the soft lips of the other party, until the girl moaned unbearably, and then pulled away slightly.

"Yo—" she panted violently, "I'm sorry, I... have been thinking about..."

Koito blushed and tapped her lightly: "I...I know..." She lowered her head and muttered very softly: "I also..."

However, Qihai's ears were too sharp, so these two words brought another wave of aggressive attacks to Yu.This was repeated until the setting sun faded from the shoes, and the two separated from each other's arms.Yoo caressed her slightly swollen lips, leaned against Qihai and sat down on the edge of the bed: "My patron saint... If I'm not mistaken, I think it should be some kind of bird... same as you."

Qihai held her hand in surprise: "Really?"

"Yeah." Yuu nodded embarrassingly.

"So how did you do it?" Qihai was still struggling with this question.

This time, Yu frankly looked directly into those sea-blue eyes, and said softly, "I miss you."

Qihai was stunned.It took her more than ten seconds to digest this simple sentence.In addition to the uncontrollable ecstasy and emotion, she couldn't help but recall Koito Yu's firm eyes at lunch, and Koito's words in the morning——

"—Once she likes it, it will be a lifetime thing."

Qihai suddenly left the bed and knelt down in front of the girl on one knee.Koito Yu was taken aback by this move: "Ex-senior...?"

"Yo," the woman clasped her hands together, "Let's go on a date in the Muggle world next time."

"..." The girl froze for a moment, "Okay."

"And then, next time... we can go to McMillan again."

"okay."

"And next time... from now on... no matter where you want to go, I will accompany you," Qihai looked into her warm yellow eyes devoutly, "I swear to Merlin."

"Is this a marriage proposal?" Yu jokingly said, but something sparkled in his eyes.

"If you think it is," Nanami laughed, "there will be more formal ones in the future, absolutely."

She lowered her head and kissed the girl's ring finger.

"I love you, Yuu."

"……I know."

The girl hugged her.

"Me too."
