Stray Chapter 111: Boundary

"Is that so..."

As expected, the girl just nodded, but she didn't ask anything, but turned to look at Yukinoshita——

"Then why is Yukinoshita-san also coming? She's not from our class, right? The arrangement should be different? Does the teacher care..."

"This is no problem, because Hiratsuka-sensei has already agreed, and Yukinoshita-san doesn't have any friends, so I think it's all alone anyway, it's better to be together..."

Xia Ran nodded, and casually found a reason to explain: "Otherwise, if you and I are here, it will always feel a little strange, doesn't it?"

“…”

“…”

The black long straight girl looked calm and natural, and did not express any opinions. After all, she really doesn't have any friends now, and she didn't even have to quietly leave the team just now, and she would be excluded... What this person said is the truth.

"Is it weird? I don't think so, this is not a date...isn't it?" Kato Megumi said calmly, as if she didn't think there would be any awkwardness between the two of them.

"Kato-san, you seem to have a very natural attitude towards this kind of thing..."

Xia Ran sighed. This girl is really strange. She never seems to be angry or sad, nor does she have any other mood swings. She always maintains that regrettable calm look.

"It's not a strange thing after all, and we really aren't dating, are we? It's just an event arranged by the school... It's strange because we didn't go to the workplace at all, but just came here directly Sit down."

Megumi Kato casually put down the drink and said with a natural expression.

Yukinoshita frowned slightly. She carefully looked at this seemingly ordinary girl, who was even more inconspicuous than Yubihama-san, and found that she really had a calm expression on her face, and her eyes were also very calm.

I don't see any problem, and I feel really sincere. It's not that there is any scheming to imply anything, but that these topics are really being discussed in a very natural manner, which seems to be a casual conversation between friends. .

In theory, there seems to be nothing worth caring about, but Yukinoshita is inexplicably a little tangled—

Is it true that the relationship between these two people is very familiar and good? Even these things can be casually used to laugh?

"There may be such a reason..."

Xia Ran stretched out a finger and scratched her cheek, thought for a moment, but finally shook her head——

"But I just think it's meaningless to visit those workplaces, and it's not a target of interest that you pre-booked, but a temporary change of arrangement... Do you still want to visit in this situation? ?"

This shouldn't be necessary, right?

After all, this activity does not require signatures, and Hiratsuka Shizuo also provides great convenience. In addition, students are not required to submit a review essay after returning, and the number of words should not be less than 800 words. etc...

In such a situation, why do you really need to go through the process?

"I still want to take a look... Otherwise, I always feel like it doesn't make sense to come out today, and I feel like I'm wasting my time."

Megumi Kato put her hand on her cheek for a few seconds, showing a thoughtful move. After just a few seconds, she nodded, confirming that she really wanted to take a look, even if it was just a process.

There is no point in not going? But what's the point of going there? It's just a walk through the process.

Xia Ran opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, she just nodded and stood up: "Then let me and you take a look, it won't take much time anyway..." It can't really be changed. The other party's scheduled plan, and now let go of it?

And he probably understands Kato Megumi's thoughts, because he was more or less like this in the past. Even if he knew that some things were meaningless, he still wanted to do something subconsciously.

It seems that this makes sense, and my time is not wasted.

"Hey, you..."

Xuexia frowned suddenly, and was about to say something when she suddenly felt a clear spiritual force connected to her perception, and the next moment she heard Xia Ran's voice clearly in her mind It rang out—

"Don't worry, there's no problem, I'll go as fast as I can... and Yubihama-san and the others are still in the exhibition hall, we can observe it again, and the problem won't be delayed."

At the same time, a light and shadow image was transmitted directly into her consciousness along the spiritual chain on the connection, as if a vivid picture was slowly unfolding...

Appearing in the light and shadow is a somewhat empty exhibition hall. There is a man and a woman who maintain a distance of at least three positions from each other, walking forward without saying a word...

They seem to have put all their attention on the exhibits on both sides, but they don't seem to have any interest in talking with each other. That kind of deliberate meaning causes the air to be filled with embarrassment

Wait...this is...

"It's the live broadcast of the two of them now. I've been keeping an eye on it, and there won't be any problems."

Xia Ran seemed to sense her surprise and quickly answered the question.

The exchange of ideas is only a momentary thing, and at this time, Kato Megumi has already looked over: "Ah, does Yukinoshita-san also want to go together? Let's come together...and this one Saber is also..."

"No, no, thank you..."

Yukinoshita Yukino quickly sorted out her thoughts, and then refused coldly. Since Xia Ran has always been paying attention, she actually has nothing to say.

And looking at Kato Megumi's calm and peaceful performance, it is true that there are no special secrets and scheming, just simply want to see what the workplace is like, really don't need to pay too much attention.

"I don't need it anymore, you should go and return early." Saber naturally refused. She was instructed by her master to guard Alice Fei dutifully here... Yukinoshita Yukino .

Megumi Kato felt a little regretful, but didn't think too much, and waved her goodbye gently.

……

……

Because the temporary change arrangement was originally made up, Xia Ran didn't choose the company to be apprentice, but just randomly selected an ordinary company.

Entering it went smoothly, and the next visit was also very smooth, but it was a bit too boring... At least Xia Ran felt very boring. As for Megumi Kato, I couldn't tell how she felt.

Her expression is always so pale, and her emotions are really very peaceful, which fits the adjective of tranquility and inaction, so Xia Ran is not sure how she feels.

But I don't think I'm interested, so I'll just do my best to accompany her to look around and walk through the scene.

"It seems to be really boring..." After ten minutes, Kato Megumi, who walked out of the office building, looked at the boy next to her with embarrassment. "I'm sorry, but I asked you to accompany me here."

“…”

“…”

Kato-san always seems to be strict with herself and lenient with others.

"Nothing, let's go back first, the sun is really vicious, you don't want to stand here all the time, right?" Xia Ran waved her hand.

"Well, why don't I...let me treat you to ice cream." The girl still seemed a little embarrassed. She looked around and saw a cold drink shop at the end of the street. She immediately felt that she had a solution.

Huh?

Xia Ran was about to refuse, but suddenly felt something, raised her eyebrows, and then agreed: "Alright, I'll wait for you here..."

Although he didn't appear to be a gentleman, Kato-san didn't think much of it, and hurriedly walked towards the cold drink shop in response. And behind her, the ruthless boy didn't wait for her at all, but turned around and left.

He quickly left the street and entered a dark and secluded alley——

"Yayun Da... Zimei!"

Just now he wanted to give the big monster some respect, but before he finished speaking, his keen intuition made him perceive some kind of dangerous fluctuation, as if countless eyes were slowly opening behind him at the same time, So decisively changed.

In just a moment, the previous sense of crisis seemed like an illusion, and it disappeared without a trace like the ebb of the sea. Xia Ran was very calm about this.

"Why are you here?" As if he didn't know what happened just now, he asked curiously.

"Of course I came here by the way...Didn't I say before that I'll be back soon? Don't you take my words to heart at all?"

The monster girl stood in front of him, covering the lower half of her face with a folding fan, revealing only her crested head, and her soft and charming smile was still vaguely visible.

"Of course not, I just remembered that you said your event time was in the evening and midnight, so I'm a little surprised to see you coming out at noon now... Wait, what do you mean by dropping by?"

"It's just what you think, I just came over from Moriya Shrine..." Yakumo Zi looked back and smiled, her tone was gentle and beautiful, as if chatting, "So I'll drop by to see you... How about you, come to Gensokyo with me now to see?"

"Go to Gensokyo to see now?" Xia Ran reacted, shaking her head hurriedly, with a very firm tone, "Not now, I still have something to do..."

"Still not? Why can't each of you be a bit more simple?" The monster girl's smile did not diminish at all, but half of her face seemed to fall into the shadows. Sure enough, it was faked!

"Because I really have something to do today, if you come tomorrow, I will definitely have time..."

"That's not good. Why should I look at the cottage for you? You don't have such a big face..." The monster girl shook her head willfully, "And don't you want to understand what's going on in the realm? Don't care at all now?"

"It's not that I don't care, but I really don't have time right now...and if you really want to help me, why don't you just show it now?"

Life is not easy, Xia Ran sighed, the timing of this big monster's arrival was so delicate, even if he wanted to agree, he couldn't help it.

"This is not good. What if I let you succeed in advance, and you eat it and wipe it up and don't admit it?"

The monster girl yawned, "And I'm a little sleepy now, and it's obviously time to sleep... I sacrificed my work and rest schedule to invite you, but I didn't expect that none of them would appreciate it."

What do you say...how do you feel like a scumbag?

Xia Ran twitched the corners of her mouth: "Do you think it's really possible for me to take advantage and run away? If that's the case, wouldn't you be more confident?"

"Well, that's what I said...then I'll show it to you now!"

The monster girl pondered for a while, and then she quickly waved her fan, as if it was opening something in the void—

"Do you feel it? This is the power of the realm."

“…”

“…”

Xia Ran didn't feel anything, not even an illusion.

"Hey, wait for me, it doesn't count at all..."

"Huh? Are you really ready to take advantage and turn your face away?"

"That's not it, you didn't even give me time to react like this, how do I know if you showed or not? I'm not ready at all, okay?"

Xia Ran tapped her forehead hard, how could she react?

"Hmph, it's really troublesome... Then again, do you know what realm is?" Yakumo Zi snorted lightly, but this time he asked him to start preparing in advance, "Simply put, everything is visible and invisible. The boundaries of everything, the existence of things is built on the foundation of the existence of realms..."

"For example, lakes cannot exist without water; mountains and skies cannot exist without ridges; if the realm of all things does not exist, the world becomes a chaos because there are no boundaries. "

Speaking of this, she looked at the magician in front of her: "Actually, it's very simple to let you experience the existence of realm, as long as you have my experience and perspective, for example... the realm between me and you. "

When the voice fell, the folding fan in her hand also swung down.

At the same time, a layer of spreading ripples appeared in the air like a turbulent water surface.

She suddenly became surprised: "Huh? This is-"

The voice came to an abrupt end.

The boundaries between "that" and "this" are blurred, so whether it is the breath of life, energy fluctuations, or the wavelength of the soul, they are all superimposed in complete synchronization under the adjustment of some kind of force... …

From the dazzling rays of light that continued to overflow, the figures of the two disappeared, and only the figure of a "person" appeared, as if it was a shadow that exists anywhere and does not exist anywhere.

The long black hair is casually draped, the delicate face has no way to distinguish the gender, and there is a deep sense of transparency in the eyes_

There is no way to distinguish what ta is, whether it is "he" or "she", and whether it is "human" or "monster"——

"It's really boring sdaz, why does dadrtfsaa have so many unnecessary hesitations..."

The existence said this, and the originally empty eyes seemed to be suddenly endowed with a strong humanity, and the light of evil taste burst out.

And the voice is like a beautiful movement, covering all emotions, but the deepest part hides a very plain expression that is obviously different from human emotions.

There is also some kind of noise. Whenever the speech is abnormal, the source of the sound will also change its direction...
