Yes, I did all this!

There was an obvious hole, and there were glaring bloodstains around the hole, but there was no sign of injury in the hole.

"Great..." Xia Yan raised her hand and grabbed Duanmu Mo's clothes tightly, as she should have no physical strength in her body.

Letting Xia Yan pull her clothes, Duanmu Mo was pulled down by her and hugged by Xia Yan.

Xia Yan buried her face in Duanmu Mo's chest, feeling his breath, and tears flowed again:

"This is not an illusion, right... This time it must be real, right -"

"Don't worry, I'm here." Feeling Xia Yan sobbing in his arms, Duanmu Mo raised his hand and soothed her head.

"If... If you really die, I will never forgive myself..." Holding Duanmu Mo tightly, Xia Yan sobbed, and her tears wet Duanmu Mo's chest.

"Don't blame yourself too much. This is all a conspiracy of weirdos. Didn't you save me in the end?"

Duanmu Mo put his hand on her head: "Okay, let go first. You need to take medicine to recover now."

"--No." Xia Yan didn't hesitate at all. Instead, she hugged Duanmu Mo tighter. She buried her head in Duanmu Mo's arms and said dully: "I'm scared... What if you disappear after leaving for a while?"

The gentle smile on Duanmu Mo's face remained unchanged:

"Don't worry, I won't--If it doesn't work, you can just hold my hand and take the medicine."

"No." Xia Yan still refused and hugged Duanmu Mo tightly around the waist: "I'm resting now."

--So troublesome...

Duanmu Mo took a deep breath: "You can't rest like this. Be obedient, you need to rest properly."

"...Yeah."

Seemingly sensing the change in Duanmu Mo's tone, Xia Yan slowly let go of her hand with a strong reluctance, but quickly held Duanmu Mo's hand again, feeling the warmth of Duanmu Mo's palm and sat up.

"......"

With a complicated look, Yu Zhi handed the prepared medicine soup to Duanmu Mo.

"Drink it."

Duanmu Mo raised the bowl and wanted Xia Yan to hold it.

However, Xia Yan opened her mouth, showing her beautiful neck and raised her head and said: "You feed me."

"......"

Looking at Xia Yan's dependence, Duanmu Mo suddenly wanted to take a tough attitude and let Xia Yan do it herself, to see what expression she would have after being scolded by him.

But this was just a thought, after all, Xia Yan's attitude could be said to be 80% done by Duanmu Mo himself.

Since it was his own business, Duanmu Mo was embarrassed to feel troubled, so he could only let her lean on him and feed the bowl.

"Um... Gulp, Gulp, Gulp..."

Xia Yan closed her eyes and slowly swallowed the medicine soup under Duanmu Mo's feeding. Her beautiful neck showed a contraction movement, which attracted people's attention.

"Huh..."

After a long time, Xia Yan lowered her eyes and exhaled a turbid breath.

Leaning over, she leaned on Duanmu Mo without hesitation.

Including this action, she did not let go of Duanmu Mo's hand, and always held him tightly.

"...... What are you doing?"

"I don't want you to leave." Xia Yan felt Duanmu Mo's breath and said softly.

Duanmu Mo sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, then you just have a good rest."

"Well..."

Smelling Duanmu Mo's scent, Xia Yan's breathing gradually calmed down.

Closing her eyes, she said softly:

"I'm scared... I'm afraid that it's just an illusion now, and you will disappear without knowing it. So, I will keep pestering you... Don't hate me like this."

"Don't worry, I'm here, you can sleep peacefully, and your injuries will heal after a good sleep."

"No..."

Xia Yan said so, but her expression had relaxed. After slowly saying this word, she leaned against Duanmu Mo and fell asleep.

After seeing her sleeping, Duanmu Mo breathed a sigh of relief and laid her back on the bed.

"Sure enough, it's right to prepare some drugs to help her sleep."

Prying open Xia Yan's tightly clenched hands, Duanmu Mo thought for a while and put his windbreaker on her. Xia Yan's frown, which was tight because she couldn't feel Duanmu Mo, relaxed again. She turned over unconsciously and hugged the windbreaker in her arms.

He turned his head and looked at Yu Zhi, who had been hesitant to speak since just now, and said bluntly:

"You seem to have something to ask, let's go downstairs and say it."

"Well..."

Taking two sundaes, Duanmu Mo and Yu Zhi came to the first floor one after the other.

Duanmu Mo sat on the motorcycle, while Yu Zhi sat on the chair he placed in front of the workbench, looking at Duanmu Mo:

"Mr. Duanmu...what did Senior Sister Xia Yan say just now? You died...what happened?"

"This."

Duanmu Mo handed a sundae to Yu Zhi and started eating it himself:

"It's complicated to say, in short, I was attracted to Xia Yan's home tonight by a commission from a weirdo, and the weirdo used a trick to let Xia Yan hurt me severely with her own hands."

"Huh?"

"I should have let them succeed, but when I woke up, I found that I had no injuries. Although I didn't know the current situation, in order to avoid dragging you down, I left first, and then I ran into you - it's that simple."

- It's that simple?

Yu Zhi could feel that the injuries mentioned by Duanmu Mo could not be described as "severe injuries". According to Xia Yan's words, the weirdo must have made her hallucinate before attacking.

The magic girl's attack was unreserved, and judging from Duanmu Mo's clothes, the attack must have pierced Duanmu Mo's chest, which was undoubtedly a fatal attack.

Yu Zhi would not vent her anger on Xia Yan, but once she understood the injuries Duanmu Mo had suffered, Yu Zhi couldn't help but feel palpitations.

"Mr. Duanmu, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

Yu Zhi put down the sundae. She didn't want to eat it now. Her voice was a little trembling. She walked over and couldn't help looking at the hole on Duanmu Mo's chest. She even reached out and touched this part, but she couldn't see any wound.

"Because this is not the time to talk about this."

Duanmu Mo said confidently: "Besides, Cang Yi just told me that it was Xi Ri who awakened a new power to heal me. Now I am fine, so this kind of thing should be treated as if it didn't exist."

"How can it be treated as if it didn't happen..."

Yu Zhi looked at Duanmu Mo in disbelief. Just as she was about to speak, her head was rubbed fiercely by Duanmu Mo:

"Don't worry, I know my own body best. After all, I cherish life the most."

"But..." Looking at Duanmu Mo's body, Yu Zhi's eyes were full of confusion.

——What's going on? This feeling that I am the only one left behind...

"Okay, okay, it's getting late now, you should go back to sleep."

"I..." Yu Zhi opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and finally calmed down and made up his mind: "No - I want to stay here too."

"What's going on... Why do you like to spend the night here so much?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Mo asked helplessly with his forehead in his hand.

"Just consider it as taking care of Senior Xia Yan!"

"Just consider it?"

"Ah——" Yu Zhi didn't know why she said this. She was flustered for a moment and quickly waved her hand: "Nothing, it's just... I'll be suspicious of the landlord if I return to the apartment so late."

"Well... okay."

Duanmu Mo agreed with her reason, nodded, and patted her head again: "Then, it's time to go to bed. Let's sleep on the sofa today."

"I know!"

Yu Zhi was immediately delighted and followed Duanmu Mo upstairs: "Well, excuse me!"

"Xi Ri, Huang Yi, Cang Yi, is there anything about my house that attracts magical girls?"

Adhering to the spirit of not wasting, Duanmu Mo quickly finished two sundaes, and after washing up, he threw two quilts on the two sofas.

"I'm afraid it's not because of the house..."

Watching Duanmu Mo eat the sundae that he had eaten part of, Yu Zhi sat on the sofa with a little blush on her face.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing - good night, Mr. Duanmu!"

"...Then good night, Yuzhi."

Volume 1: Chapter 102: Future Arrangements

"...From 0:30 to 2:10 this morning, a huge scale of destruction occurred near Jingqiu District, Shendai City, full of burn marks and rubble. All facilities within the area are unusable. Please do not approach this place in the next few months..."

"-According to the response of nearby residents, they were rescued from here by the magical girl Huang Yi. It is currently speculated that the fire was caused by Xi Ri in order to defeat the monster, but there are eyewitnesses who pointed out that the flames that night were pitch black. The specific cause is still under more detailed investigation."

......

In the office, Duanmu Mo was sitting at his desk flipping through a book, Yuzhi was also doing homework on the sofa, and Xia Yan was still lying on the bed to rest, but they had all woken up.

After a night, Xia Yan's spirit recovered a lot, and she was not as clingy as she was last night-but she still hugged Duanmu Mo's windbreaker and was unwilling to let go.

——Listening to the voice in the news, Duanmu Mo put down the book and glanced at the screen, saying: "By the way, Xia Yan, your house has been burned down."

"Well, nothing is left...even the doll you gave me."

Xia Yan sat on the bed and looked at the screen, and finally her eyes stopped on Duanmu Mo's face and said.

"What should you do next?"

"It's good to have you here."

Xia Yan still said straightforwardly, and Duanmu Mo coughed twice: "I mean, where are you going to live next?"

"...I want to live with you."

"Cough cough cough..."

Yu Zhi suddenly coughed, Xia Yan glanced at her, and then looked at Duanmu Mo:

"I'm worried that you will be hurt again. The weirdos have already known the relationship between you and me. My staying here is equivalent to protecting you."

"I think that the weirdos except Neville don't know about this." Duanmu Mo muttered.

——In fact, it is true. He has always been very careful to protect his identity, and when he takes action, he asks for help from those four-handed monsters who are in low consciousness and have now been burned.

That Huang Yu Du Man may have heard Duanmu Mo's name, but let's not talk about whether this old antique from the ancient times can use the "advanced" method of looking up names on the computer, just say that his current target is also focused on Cang Yi.

It seems that the time for the specific resurrection is coming soon. This thorn monster is probably very eager to get the key to the underworld in Cang Yi's hand, and has no intention of getting the mentality of Xi Ri.

Therefore, Duanmu Mo does not have to worry about any changes in his life.

It can even be said that the biggest change in his life now comes from Xia Yan who is beside him.

"——In short, my office can't accommodate so many people, so it's not possible." Shaking his head, Duanmu Mo rejected her proposal.

"It's okay for me to sleep on the floor."

"I need some privacy, too." Duanmu Mo sighed helplessly, spreading his hands and staring at Xia Yan:

"Besides, it's inappropriate for you, a little girl, to live in the home of a man who doesn't have a formal job, right?"

"There's nothing inappropriate about it, and I'm almost an adult."

Xia Yan retorted unwillingly.

"You don't have the slightest bit of adult spirit. Even if you can become a magical girl, in my eyes, you're still just a little, child---that's all."

Walking in front of Xia Yan, Duanmu Mo raised his hand and touched her forehead with his fingers.

"Hmm..."

"--that..."
