Stray Chapter 103: Did something happen?
Summer is coming to an end and it's the last day of August.
The scorching heat has not yet completely receded, but the grasshoppers in the early autumn have already begun to chirping. Presumably the breath of autumn is coming soon.
Sitting on the edge of the lake of Fengshen Lake, watching the sunset in the distance, the magician looked calm. His mood is much better now, and sometimes it is like this. is very unhealthy.
You have to let it out...
So after hammering Michael, Xia Ran felt comfortable, refreshed, and thoughtful.
That archangel is really brave and good at fighting, and has an indomitable golden spirit, or should I say he doesn't know how to give up? Anyway, after working together for a period of time, although it was a long time ago, Xia Ran also knew that Michael was difficult to deal with.
But it's not a troublesome thing, anyway, the former teachers have been imprisoned by him.
Now throwing an extra archangel into a private prison makes no difference.
And there is no movement from heaven, but it is probably because of the different concept of time. After all, it has only been a few days, so naturally there will be no response so quickly. If it takes a while, it should be Someone will come to ask for someone.
I hope that Gabriel will come here. In his opinion, only this archangel can communicate. If Michael is a symbol of "fire", so his temperament is extremely fierce and belligerent, then he is in charge of "Water" Gabriel is the exact opposite.
"Lord Xia Ran..."
The sound of footsteps behind him interrupted the magician's thoughts. Sitting by the lake, he glanced behind him and saw that he was dressed in blue, with nine huge furry tails swaying back and forth as he walked. The strategist of the tail walked towards him.
"It's blue, what's the matter..."
Xia Ran sighed, Zi left very decisively, and walked neatly and neatly. Since even Gensokyo left directly, she naturally wouldn't say to bring Yakumo Blue with her.
Because of this, he felt even more worried. Can she really take care of herself?
"Lord Yuyouko is here again, saying that he is very concerned about the current situation of Lord Zi..." Yakumo Lan pondered for a while, or chose to speak out directly.
“…”
“…”
"I think she is just using this reason to eat and drink in an open and honest way. How can she care about people without losing her three meals a day..." The magician sighed, feeling quite Headache and helplessness.
Probably because it was too sudden, Yuyuko of Xixingji Temple failed to stop Yakumo Zi's departure that day. After the incident, she came to ask the teacher to ask her guilt. At the same time, she was very concerned about the situation of her friend. At that time, the undead princess was indeed Sincerely.
After a few more visits, her friendship turned sour
After all, knowing that Xia Ran has been closely watching Yayunzi's movements, even outside the endlessly distant time and space, it is always within reach for him, and he can always watch and stretch his hand out. The kind that can pull it back across countless universes.
The safety factor is actually the same as in Gensokyo, in the magician's world, there is no difference whatsoever.
As long as this is clear, Yuyuko will naturally be relieved and relieved, and after that, her attention will naturally pay attention to other things... So, her concern for friends has completely deteriorated. These days, I still insist on coming to the door on time at mealtime every day, euphemistically, I want to see Zi's situation.
Well, eating is just a casual thing.
The main reason is that every time I come here, I happen to meet. Lord Youyouko is just kind and hard to resist. After all, she is very approachable and never knows how to refuse other people's invitations, so she can only be like this... It's really impossible. .
"Lan, you go and tell her that nothing happened today...well, it's just a fight, but there's no problem."
Withdrawing his gaze, Xia Ran let out a long sigh. He knew the whereabouts of Yayunzi well, and of course he knew what the realm monster did today.
"Master Zi had a fight with someone?" Yakumo Lan was a little nervous.
"Yeah, it's actually unilaterally bullying children, it can't be called a fight... It's just that a piece of something fell into her hands, and then the brave team came to collect it, but you know, Zi this A person's character has always been only her share of stealing other people's things..."
The magician said casually.
Of course, there may also be something similar to what he did when he hammered Michael before, that is, he was in a bad mood, and as a result, some people came to the door to provoke them, but the other party also beat them. But myself.
What a good punching bag, I'm so sorry for such a great opportunity not to grab a free punch like this.
"That's good..."
Yayunlan let out a long sigh of relief. She was just worried that if she was not by her side, what would happen to Mr. Zi. Now, after hearing what Mr. Xia Ran said, she felt relieved.
Okay, I'm not really worried, because maybe for a magician, his vision is endless, and he sees it all over the place. Looking at three thousand worlds is like looking at three thousand dusts, and things that are separated by an infinite dimension seem to be the same. Usually happens in front of you.
But Yakumo Lan didn't know, she only knew that Mr. Zi left this world, and she didn't know where she went. In short, it was an extremely distant space-time distance, and she even feared whether she would be able to meet again in this life. day.
These are all things that make her feel flustered and uneasy.
After all, I care about a person very much, but I don't know what the current situation of the other person is. All the news is learned from others... It's not to say that I doubt it, but after all, I still feel uneasy in my heart, and Yakumo Lan hesitated for a while. , asked cautiously:
"Lord Xia Ran, are you going to go on like this?"
“…”
“…”
"No plan." Xia Ran stood up and patted the dust that didn't exist on her body, "Don't worry, there will be no problem, Lan, you will see Zi Zi again soon..."
"Can I ask, what are you going to do, Mr. Xia Ran?" Yakumo Lan asked seriously.
"Cough, this is a secret for now, but you don't have to worry about it, Lan, I will leave this matter to me, you can rest assured when I do things..." The magician coughed lightly, obscuring the specific details, and at the same time using His sincere eyes turned to Yakumo Lan.
Yakumo Lan was silent for a while, and the expression on her face solidified a little.
I don't worry about you doing things?
No, no, no, I don't worry about leaving it to you. Why is it like this now, don't you have any Hercules in your heart?
After a while, the fox demon girl seemed to realize that this was not good, and quickly squeezed out an embarrassed but polite smile.
"Alright, alright, it's getting late, let's go back to eat, let's talk about it tomorrow..." Probably didn't expect that his credibility had been overdrawn to this level in Lan's mind, Xia Ran can only decisively change this topic that is not good for him.
Of course he knew what he had to do, but for the time being there was no good way, he could only take a step by step.
But it's not good to talk to Yakumo Lan.
There seems to be no difference between talking and not talking.
"Tomorrow..." Yayunlan twitched the corners of her mouth, and she also looked up at the setting sun in the distance, "The sun hasn't set yet, Mr. Xia Ran, it's not so fast to have dinner... …”
"Is that so?" Blinking her eyes, Xia Ran reached out and gently pressed in the direction of the west-sloping sun.
Then.
Under the moon and stars, the magician's long hair fluttered against the night wind blowing by the lake. He waved his hand and turned around and walked back to the shrine: "Okay, let's go, let's go back. , the lake is windy at night, be careful to catch a cold..."
“?”
A question mark slowly appeared on Yayunlan's head. Is there such an operation?
Back in the living room of the shrine, Xia Ran found that the girl with long green hair was also sitting there. She thought she had gone through the wrong door and didn't enter Gensokyo from the inside. After all, he lived on the front side of the world on the front side, and Sanae lived on the inner side.
"Xia Ran, school starts tomorrow, do you want to go to school together..."
I don't know if it's because of the recovery of these days, so Dongfenggu Sanae's attitude has become natural again, or is it pretending to be calm, pretending to be generous and smiling, it seems that there is no longer the original Two days of embarrassment.
Or both, with the latter being more.
After all, strictly speaking, she also took advantage of the opportunity of "the law does not blame the public" to confide in her hazy girlish feelings, although not like those girls with deep bonds, her speech Not even half a minute.
I just mustered up the courage to come on stage, stammered and said a lot of words, and ran away without expecting a response.
But this kind of thing has been enough for Sanae-san, who is pure enough to be embarrassed for a long time. She is probably slowly recovering now. At the same time, she also feels that it is not the way to continue like this. More deliberate and embarrassing.
So on the last night of summer vacation, I came over to send an invitation.
Pretend that nothing has happened before.
"Yes..."
Xia Ran was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.
It's not that I haven't had the experience of going to school together before. Although the schools on both sides are different, the road ahead can still be walked together.
The holiday is finally over, he feels that this should be a fresh start, something must be done to clean up all this mess...
It will start tomorrow.
……
……
The next morning.
As she walked into the long-lost school gate, the long, straight black girl asked, "What are you going to do? Do you think nothing happened?"
She didn't say anything along the way. She was obviously very preoccupied. When she was on the tram, she also had some back-to-back conversations, which didn't make the scene cold, but she was obviously absent-minded. Go away.
It was only now that she suddenly spoke.
"I want to pretend that nothing happened, but the problem is not what I think, but what they think, and..." The magician sighed, then took a serious look at the girl's expression, and withdrew his gaze Then he paused and said nothing.
Yukinoshita tilted her head slightly, as if she didn't understand what he meant. After a while, she revealed a faint smile, her beautiful eyes staring straight at him.
"I...you..."
The girl whispered softly. She seemed to want to organize the language, but she didn't know how to express her meaning. She hesitated for a while, and finally raised her eyes and looked at him. While observing his reaction, she stretched out her hand. .
Huh?
Xia Ran raised her eyebrows and glanced at the girl walking side by side.
I saw that she deliberately looked away, staring straight ahead, her cheeks stained with a touch of pink, but she forced herself to act as if nothing had happened, and walked forward with a somewhat stiff pace.
"I know."
She said so.
"Is this an oath of sovereignty?"
Xia Ran smiled at the hand she was holding, and then looked around. Although it was still early in the morning, many students had already stepped into the campus one after another. After all, the long summer vacation was over. Today It's the first day of school.
Ordinary people don't rush into the campus at the last moment today, stepping on the bell for class.
At this moment, I don't know how many people looked at it in amazement. Although they always thought it should be like this before, but...but...
Such a high-profile public announcement still makes many people feel a sense of shock.
There was no response, and she went straight to the front of the teaching building. The black long straight girl released her hand, hugged her schoolbag tightly, and flew away as if running away, leaving only the magician one. The cute back made the latter laugh.
He looked at his palm, and then ignored everyone around him looking for the truth. Shi Shiran also walked into the teaching building.
……
……
Returning to the familiar and unfamiliar classroom, and sitting down in the long-lost seat, Xia Ran looked at everything around her, and in a trance, she had the illusion of a world away.
"Xia Ran...you, are you all right?"
An Yi Lun, who came to the classroom early, his face and eyes were very complicated. He hesitated for a while, but he couldn't help turning around, looking at the magician, and asked cautiously.
"No problem, what's the matter?" Xia Ran looked at Ito-kun, and showed a sunny smile, "Speaking of Ito-kun, why did you just leave a few days ago, it's too disrespectful? , I didn't even eat anything..."
"Hahaha, that..."
An Yi Lun also laughed dryly. Who could stand the atmosphere at that time? When it came to the back, the air would freeze, okay?
He was still a little uneasy, and carefully observed the other party's expression: "It's okay, it's okay, Xia Ran, I think... um, this... The point is the love of life, there is nothing that can't be overcome. The hurdle of..."
I tried hard to say some chicken soup for the soul, but I really didn't have this experience, so what he said was a little stumped.
"That's right, I'm full of love for life now, and I'm going to work hard and polish as many works as possible this year..." The magician nodded again and again.
“…”
“…”
"Yes, is that so..." An Yilun's mouth twitched as well. It doesn't seem like a person who is full of love for life can say something. Why does it feel like an anti-social personality is on the line, ready to take revenge What about society?
"Good morning, Xia Ran, ah, and Anyi."
At this time, the girl who walked in from outside the classroom greeted the two of them very commonly, and came to her seat and sat down.
"Ah, good morning, good morning, Kato..."
"Good morning, Kato-san..."
“…”
“…”
"What's wrong?" Kato Megumi tilted her head in confusion, looking at the two boys who were silent at the same time.
"It's nothing, it's just Kato, your attitude hasn't changed at all compared to before..." Xia Ran twitched the corners of her mouth. "Obviously something like that happened before, don't you remember?"
"Remember." The girl nodded as a matter of course.
"So don't you act shaken?"
"Well, this...because I think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be a big deal." Kato Megumi showed a slightly less pale look, and seemed to think about it seriously, and then she said with a calm look. .
