The wound was very shallow, and it disappeared completely quickly, leaving no scars.

...thankfully.

She was not interested in repeating the excuses she made up over and over again to the over-enthusiastic townspeople. It was boring, but it would be a bit painful to deceive the conscience of honest people.

——Yes, she thinks she still has a little conscience (?).

But then again, the townspeople are fine with talking, and lying is the next priority, at least she can handle it.For Sakuraya Rie, the real big boss is——

"Is the wound completely healed?"

"..."

"Be careful next time, don't accidentally scratch it again." There was an inexplicable coldness in Tina's voice, although it was not aimed at her, it always made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Yinggu Lihui twisted the corner of her clothes, lowered her head and said nothing.

After a short silence, Tina sighed.

"Go and do your work." She said calmly, trying to keep her expression gentle. "Also, the milk is on the table for you, remember to drink it while it's hot."

"...Um."

The girl responded in a low voice, her voice soft and soft.

Slightly raised his gaze, the red-haired woman was already sitting behind the bar, swaying the wine in the glass, the color in it was so coquettish and bewitching.

Sakuragi Rie couldn't help but sighed softly.

——Being classified into such a lie may deceive others, but it will definitely not deceive Tina, who is indulgent in appearance, but delicate and considerate in actuality.Not to mention that they live together, Tina can and has enough reasons to carefully examine the girl's wounds and make her own judgment.

Tina guessed everything, and so did the girl.

...just pretending nothing happened.

The last mask is maintained, so it seems that their lives are still as quiet and peaceful as they were at the beginning, as if they can grow old forever in such watery tenderness.

Living in such falsehood is like struggling in the mire, still deceiving yourself as a fish swimming in the sea.

What can be done?

...after all, man is such a sad creature.

------------------

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"What's the matter, your cold hasn't healed yet? How long has it been? Have you not had a good rest or taken medicine recently?"

...if only that.

The tea-haired girl pinched the end of her hair, her smile was soft, and she was vaguely embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I really don't like to take medicine, and the weather is too hot to sleep well... I won't do it next time .”

"Next time, what next time, huh?"

"...Oh, just understand what I mean, don't catch the loopholes in my words." Sakuraya Rie simply leaned over and hugged the blond young man's arm, perhaps because she was a little guilty, her eyes were more intense than ever Full of smiles.

——When confronting the knight, whether it was true or false, at least on the surface, she did put more heart and emotion into it.

...especially when someone is there.

"If the illness persists for a long time, it's best for Ms. Sakuragu to let the doctor take a good look at it. After all, hearing Miss Yinggu coughing like this will make anyone's heart ache."

The man with black hair and dark eyes had a gentle voice.

——Even if the person involved is right in front of him, this person doesn't seem to be afraid of causing disputes between himself and the members of the group, and he doesn't know if he really has something to rely on and is not afraid.If you want to explain the image of Sakura Guli, it is... just put the green hat on the head of his good team member (.).

Just like that, the knights were stunned and looked like they didn't care.

The girl is also very convinced.

She glanced at Kuroro quickly, then looked away, and even couldn't help tightening the arms holding the knight.Not to mention, her originally delicate and lively smile gradually faded away at this time.

But in the end she just lowered her eyes and whispered softly.

"Thank you for your concern."

——It's not a hostile or disgusting tone, but a very appropriate politeness, but anyone can hear the deliberate alienation in it.

...It should be said that the speed is very well grasped.

Having experienced so many worlds, Sakuragi Rie already knows how she should speak, so as not to immediately blacken people, but also to understand the determination behind her euphemistic words.

So Kurolo just smiled.

"Why be polite, Ms. Sakuragu?" He spoke slowly, but his aggression and oppression remained undiminished, and his pure black eyes were still as deep as ink and night.

The girl frowned slightly.

She deliberately—yes, deliberately looked at the knight one more time, as if she wanted to find comfort or support from him.But the blond-haired and blue-eyed young man smiled as before, and only gently touched the top of her hair.If he looked up, he could only see his drooping eyelashes and the cold green that seemed to be darker than before.

He tugged at the corner of his clothes, but the knight didn't respond.

...Ah.

Okay, big brother, you are amazing.

You don't care anymore, so what can she do?What else can she do?It's not like the old father forgives you and puts a hat on your head (bushi).

------------------

The brown-haired girl leaned down a little, pressed her chest, and there was a heart-piercing cough, no matter how hard she tried to suppress it, it would be of no avail.

...the only thing to be thankful for is that it's early days?No matter how painful it is, at least it can come and go quickly, and it will be over if you bear it.

She shook her head with a wry smile, and turned her gaze away.

Tina had long been by her side with a solemn face, but she didn't dare to do anything for a moment.He didn't dare to pat her on the back lightly until he saw her slowing down.The girl tried her best to give her a comforting smile.

—but it's obviously useless.

"How did your wind-cold develop so badly?" She frowned, probably having already noticed something was wrong, "Don't use those excuses to fool me—I'm staring at you for three meals a day, it's not bad at all. ; Not to mention that your room is next to mine, so it's a bit uneasy to sleep, right, it won't make your illness worse, right?"

Tina reached out to test the temperature of her forehead.

...not hot.

Not having a fever should be a good thing, but for some reason, her heart sank a little bit.

"Shall I take you outside?" she said suddenly.

Surprised, Rie Sakuragi suddenly raised her head and opened her eyes slightly.

——Because both of them know very well that this "outside" does not refer to the simple outside of the home, but the wider world outside the small town that is completely unknown to the girl.

——It is also the world that Tina least wants girls to set foot in.

Tina bit her lower lip.

...she tasted blood.

After all, that world may be pretty good in the eyes of ordinary people—especially in the eyes of ordinary people who can't touch anything; The darkness of the world.Not to mention being as beautiful as Sakuragi Rie, I'm afraid that sooner or later there will be no bones left in that world.

But right now...

Right now, she couldn't count on the doctors in the small town.

The brown-haired girl seemed to realize something—she seemed to be able to see everything clearly all the time, she understood why he reminded her not to be interested in the outside world, and she also knew what might happen to a person like her; it was just that she She never talked about it, so it seemed like she didn't know anything.

It's just that at this moment, she was quietly looking into Tina's eyes. It seemed that many complicated emotions flowed through her eyes for a moment, but soon turned into the almost cold silence of the past.

"Don't say stupid things."

She reprimanded softly, as if she was her own junior in front of her.

After a brief silence, Tina managed to laugh out loud while rubbing the top of the girl's hair vigorously, as if doing so would make her look more normal.

"Smelly girl! How did you talk to me?"

Sakuragi Rie just looked at her quietly.

...So the smile on Tina's face also faded a little bit.

"I won't go out." Her tone seemed to say that today's weather is fine.

Lowering her eyes, when the girl raised her eyes again, her expression was already the calmest and gentlest, "This is my choice, Tina, do you understand what I mean?"

"...No, I don't understand."

The red-haired woman murmured, her voice almost hoarse.

"Rie, you..."

"Tina, you must help me."

Before the woman's emotions were completely out of control, the brown-haired beauty finally showed some sad and melancholy expressions, which made Tina completely quiet for no reason.

"Only you can help me. You know that."

Whispering softly, she leaned in and buried herself in the arms of the red-haired woman.Because of this, her voice also seemed a little vague, "The only person I can trust is you, Tina."

The hug is very warm.

For some reason, the girl wanted to sigh.

After a brief silence, Tina spoke again—this time, her voice was much calmer than before.

"Are you saying that? I thought you believed them."

...wow, that's the funniest joke in the world.

"Do you believe this?" Rie Sakuragi couldn't help laughing, "This joke is not funny, I never thought it was you who said it, Tina."

"After all, that guy still seems to like you very much. I thought you were really intoxicated into tenderness."

Tina sneered.

The girl was taken aback.

"Really? Do you think he likes me like those people?" After a while, she resumed her smiling appearance, but only asked softly.

She is really a little curious.

In the eyes of the world... what does liking look like?

Does everyone have a different definition?

At least here in Xia Ke.Can be shared, can be compared, can be sacrificed... What is the difference between liking like this and liking an object?Since everyone is like this, why do people always say that she doesn't like people.

This is a double standard, right(?).

...Ah, maybe she really will never understand this kind of stuff.
