Stray Chapter 109: Coming

"I don't need it, thank you, you can call it by yourself..."

Xia Ran shook his head. He was not hungry at all, or had no appetite at all.

Since Saber has gradually developed the basic qualities of a maid, he has also found that he no longer has to worry about his basic necessities.

Because this King of Knights is indeed a genius, not only has his cooking skills improved rapidly, but he also does things like tea art and housework in a neat and orderly manner, so Xia Ran doesn't need to worry about it at all. And with just a few compliments, she will soon be radiant, with the appearance of a soldier who died for his confidant...

Xia Ran does not comment on this seemingly extreme twisted chivalry.

After all, he wasn't sure if all the Knights of the Round Table were like this, or if Arturia was a special case-

Considering that she had experienced the Battle of the Sword and the Four Holy Grails one after another not long ago, the goals she had been pursuing were denied one after another, and it seemed that even the value of life had been lost... So now it is a bit overkill, and I am very eager to get from the Master. sure.

Because it will make her feel valuable again, find purpose and direction, and be motivated? Well, if you think about it this way, it seems that it is really possible!

If this is really the case, it can only be said that Saber is also a fan of the authorities, otherwise, Xia Ran will not be swayed by a few words and go the wrong way, and go further and further on the road of maids.

And she herself has not noticed this trend, but is full of motivation every day, thinking about how to better complete the task of the master, so as to live up to the name of the rider (woman) (servant)... …

But it is also because Saber works so hard, three meals a day and supper, Xia Ran is not good to discourage the enthusiasm of the maid, so the diet these days is very regular... Although it is not a bad thing, but eating too much is also good It will be a little greasy.

Xia Ran, who usually can't eat three meals in ten days, feels that she is now in a subtle embarrassment.

Anyway, there will be Saber's dinner after going back later, and there will be a late-night snack around ten o'clock in the evening. It's better not to eat too much outside... Tsk, I feel like I'm inexplicably trapped in it. Appearance, although this is the development that I want to see.

And saber's craftsmanship is objectively quite good. Basically, breakfast is one level, and dinner is another level. In the morning, it's still an ordinary homely meal. It's not bad, and it's delicious, but In the evening, it has reached the realm where you can go to open a restaurant exclusively.

Maybe the next day, the three-star Michelin chef can't compare to her. If it's another day, the dishes that may be made will shine, and people's clothes will be cracked after eating...

Well, maybe it's not an exaggeration. After all, Xia Ran vaguely remembered that in a certain if line, this knight king did have a maid-side spiritual foundation. Belonging to the green card positioning...

Wait a minute, what's the weird stuff in that information? Where did you get the information from? He shook his head vigorously, finding that many things had become blurred.

"Xia Ran, what exactly do you want to tell me?"

At this time, Kato Megumi took a bite of the small cake, and then looked at the boy opposite him calmly, not knowing why he suddenly asked him out.

"This..."

Xia Ran restrained her thoughts and opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to explain it for a while. She clearly thought there was no problem with this matter before, but when it came time to explain it, it was difficult to be confident.

Can't really just say something domineering, let Megumi Kato accept the facts unconditionally and without reason, right?

But at this time, it can't be an anticlimactic. It's really just a tea with Kato Megumi, right? Besides, tomorrow's noon is the workplace trainee, it is impossible to keep this matter hidden...

He sighed, thinking that he should try to strengthen the presence of this girl, lest he would always ignore her subconsciously. This situation is really very abnormal, like it is now-

The expression of the girl opposite has been unconsciously, and it has become very pale again. It can be said that it is a face that has no personality at all, and makes people unimpressive...

"That's right, aren't you going to have a workplace apprenticeship tomorrow? I'm in a group with Kato-san, right?" Straight to the point.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Kato Kei asked calmly.

"Kato-san, I asked Hiratsuka-sensei before to change our location arrangement, and Hiratsuka-sensei has already agreed..."

Xia Ran stared at the girl's face, paying careful attention to the subtle changes in her expression and her eyes, and was unwilling to let go of the slightest detail—

"So tomorrow at noon, the place we're going is the seaside Makuhari Station, but I forgot to inform you about this before, and I didn't remember it until today..."

"Oh, I see... that means at noon tomorrow, the place we're going will be Seaside Makuhari Station, right?"

Mei Kato nodded with understanding, her face still had that regrettable calm look on her face.

“…”

“…”

"What, what's wrong? Xia Ran, is there something on my face?" Being stared at by the magician on the opposite side with a strange look, it felt somewhat unnatural, Kato said. Hui asked inexplicably.

She subconsciously stretched out her slender index finger and wiped it lightly on her face a few times, but she didn't notice that the corners of her lips were inadvertently stained with cakes or something.

"It's nothing, I don't think your attitude has changed at all compared to before..." Xia Ran couldn't help sighing. "In addition to "knowing" your reaction to this matter, don't you have any other thoughts? "

Megumi Kato's reaction is still very ordinary, and it's heartfelt that it feels ordinary.

It seems that she just accepted it so calmly, without much emotional ups and downs.

"Any other thoughts? Ah, I don't seem to have been to that area before. It feels a bit sudden, and the preparations I made before are completely useless..."

The girl put her index finger against her lips and thought for a while, and said this with a little trouble, but her tone was still quite calm.

"So...you're not angry at all about this?"

"Why are you angry? This kind of thing is no big deal-" Kato Megumi gave Xia Ran a strange look, and answered as a matter of course.

"Kato-kun, I really suddenly feel that you are a bully...you should have a limit when you speak."

Xia Ran twitched the corners of his mouth. He felt a little guilty inexplicably. Is his behavior a bit too much for this... girl?

There must be a limit to bullying, right?

"Am I good at talking?" Kato Megumi blinked, seemingly unaware of this.

“…”

“…”

"Forget it, then you can come with me tomorrow..."

Xia Ran sighed again, she probably messed up Kato-san's plan, and seeing that she didn't know much about the new location, she wouldn't feel relieved to just leave her at that time.

Anyway, at that time, I don't really need to play with those two troublesome guys. I just need to keep an eye on them from a distance, so there won't be any hindrance. Don't worry about Megumi Kato getting involved. in these irrelevant whirlpools.

"Is this a confession?" The girl tilted her head in confusion.

"If you really think that way, how about at least acting a little shaken?" Xia Ran said calmly, "It's just that I think I've disrupted your original plans and preparations. So I can't just leave you alone like this."

“…”

“…”

Mei Kato nodded thoughtfully, but her expression gradually became as pale as before, with a regrettable calm.

Xia Ran didn't say anything, just raised the cup and took a sip. This matter is really easy to solve. It's just a notification. It seems that no matter how excessive it is, She would make a faint oh sound and silently accept it.

Well, a girl as considerate as Kato-san is really my favorite.

……

……

Time hurried to the next day, and the week-long regular exams were all over.

The mood of the students is very complicated. Basically, in the period after the exam is over, they are used to constantly reviewing the exam papers. There are always some people who feel that they are stable, so they are full of confidence. There are always some people who are more pale and bloodless the more they discuss with others, and they exert their traditional skills of scaring themselves to the extreme.

Such arrogant examples like Xia Ran who simply skipped all the regular exams, still in a very good mood, and didn't take the exam results to heart at all, are always one of the very few, or maybe he's the only one. one.

However, there is a long-prepared activity today, which is the much-anticipated workplace apprenticeship. After entering the lunch break, the students will form a team to go to the workplace they want to visit according to the prior arrangement.

Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuihama Yui are a group, along with a person like Totsuka Saika.

It's just that the latter hadn't arrived yet, while Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuihama Yui had already met first, and when they were changing their shoes at the gate of the school building, the two happened to meet.

"That... good noon."

Hikigaya Hachiman was stunned for a moment, and then slowly and stiffly said a sentence.

"Ah... good noon."

Yuhihama Yui looked away as if she didn't know how to react, and greeted her in the usual way. There was nothing special in her tone, but it was completely different from the energetic and even stupid impression she used to feel.

There is no tit-for-tat friction and collision between the two people, but a pure sense of alienation and distance.

"Well, Totsuka hasn't come yet, let's wait for him here..."

"Good, good..."

This is the end of the conversation. The two people who changed their shoes walked to the crowded aisle outside and waited quietly.

At this time, all high school students are gathered here, waiting for the departure time. Most of the people were very interested in the next job training. The sound of discussions rang out one after another, which seemed extremely lively. Only these two people had no intention of talking at all.

The slightly awkward atmosphere still exists, and nothing has changed because of time...

Yuihama Yui lowered her gaze, wondering what she was thinking. Hikigu Hachiman has a stinky face, trying to comfort himself in his heart—

Good, very cool, everything is back to the way it was.

My inner peace was restored, and Yuhihama was freed from self-blame and returned to the past reality to live a full life. This choice should not be wrong, it can even be said to be a very correct win-win choice!

She doesn't have to be obsessed with that level of serendipity, and she doesn't have to feel guilty about being lonely as soon as she starts school.

So, this is the end of the matter. Everyone just needs to go back to the past and live their own lives...

——This dead fish-eyed boy will never admit that there is even a trace of regret in his heart!

"How awkward is this person..." In the distance, Xia Ran looked at the two troublesome people, couldn't help sighing, then turned to look in the other direction, over there Yukinoshita also happened to be looking at him.

The eyes of the two people crossed each other for a moment, and then they took it back, as if they had exchanged some information and knew nothing about it.

Xia Ran raised his hand slightly, a coin was thrown high, and then fell into his palm. After he glanced at the results of the heads and tails:

"It should be no problem...Well, don't worry about it anymore, let's go straight when Kato-san arrives, and by the way, go to step on the spot first..."

“…”

“…”

"Student Xia Ran, I've always been here." The girl standing beside him said so calmly.
