Stray Chapter 99: Prepare to go to Gensokyo for a field trip

"Didn't we exchange contact information with each other before? I saw the number "0618" in her email account at the time, and now I remembered when you said that..."

Xia Ran didn't show any guilty conscience at all, and replied calmly.

"So you just rely on this to be able to confirm directly?" Yukinoshita's eyes were still full of suspicion, and she didn't know what she was thinking of.

At this moment, not only is the breath of the girl not attractive at all, but it is like a sharpened blade, as if life will end if Xia Ran can't answer this question.

"There's no confirmation at all. Didn't you see that the punctuation mark following my sentence was a question mark? It means that I'm just guessing and answering your question. I'm not sure if it is."

Xia Ran just smiled lightly and answered the question noncommittally, as if there was no sense of crisis at all, or he didn't think this kind of thing was a crisis——

"And I didn't think about this question at first, but when you suddenly asked such a question at this time, it must have a purpose, and it is impossible to ask an irrelevant question for no reason, so I have reason to think that this is absolutely related to Those two people are related."

"In addition, the 18th of next month is not a holiday, nor is it a major commemorative holiday. Thinking about the topic we just talked about, it is inseparable from the two people Yubihama and Hikigu, the only thing I told you. The date is linked to the string of numbers in Yubihama's email account..."

Speaking of this, he stretched out his fingers and gently pushed the glasses that did not exist on the bridge of his nose, but unfortunately there were no reflections from the glasses, so he said in a deep voice——

"So, there is only one truth! The time you mentioned is likely to be Yubihama's birthday!"

“…”

“…”

"The reasoning ability and reaction are very good, where did you learn it?"

This reasoning was impeccable, and Ms. Yukinoshita seemed to admire it. She exhaled softly, and the suspicion in her eyes disappeared.

Perhaps this guy didn't know any information about Yuihama Yui at all before this time, and he really wouldn't take the initiative to find out because of his character.

But he only mentioned a date, but he was able to quickly connect the clues and draw a reasonable conclusion...

It seems that this kind of thing is really not a big deal for him. It is probably just hearing the question, thinking about it subconsciously, and then giving the answer. It is such a natural process.

Unless he really didn't have any clues or information before, so he couldn't get in touch, but if he had clues, he could instantly grasp the clues, sort out his thoughts, and come to a conclusion...

So, why is this guy sometimes unable to remember other people's names? It doesn't seem to be a memory problem, but because he doesn't really care, right?

"Oh, that's what my dad taught me in Hawaii..."

Xia Ran waved his hand with a humble expression on his face and said that he didn't seem to be complacent because he was praised so much by the girl, which fully reflected his good parallelism—

"And as long as people with brains can do this kind of thing, it's basically not difficult..."

“…”

“…”

Yukinoshita had a calm and calm expression, but subconsciously glanced at the girl king who had been quiet beside him, and found that the other party also seemed to be deaf, and there was no sign of being offended, or is to automatically ignore a map cannon that filters someone.

She couldn't help but have a little doubt in her heart, did these two really meet only yesterday?

——It seems that the familiarity between each other is more than that. At least this female knight king who still makes her feel at odds and doesn't know how to face it seems to have some understanding of the person opposite her. .

I wanted to ask this question subconsciously, but after hesitating for a while, Yukinoshita still didn't ask.

After all, it's already at this time, and she is naturally reacting with some hindsight. Her previous interrogation and performance seem to be more or less one kind... There is one kind...

Well, anyway, it is because of some subtle psychology that she is not willing to admit, which makes her unwilling to recall what she did before, and it is naturally even more impossible to reproduce that behavior again.

It's not necessary at all, the attitude of this person just now is very clear...

Although there must be a lot of things hidden, but it should be the more cruel and terrible parts...

And he seems to have said everything else that he can say, and it seems that he has not deceived himself anywhere...

A lot of complicated thoughts flashed in my mind, and even the owner himself didn't notice it. As a result, Yukinoshita decisively didn't bother about this matter, and didn't continue to think about this topic.

She sorted out her thoughts, and then said to herself, while changing the topic, she also diverted her messy thinking and attention—

"June 18 is indeed Yubihama's birthday. If it is too late for the internship in a few days, we can consider another half a month, and the time will not be delayed for too long. There's nothing bad..."

"But how should the two of them get together on that day?" Xia Ran asked her earnestly, "It's a good opportunity like a job apprenticeship, so they can naturally form a team to walk in the There is no reason to be together."

"This is not a problem, and they didn't really cut off their relationship. In fact, they didn't say anything to each other, they just drifted away..." Yukinoshita obviously considered this matter, "When the time comes We said that we want to celebrate Yuhihama-san's birthday, Hikigaya-san can't help but come?"

"But what if both of them find a reason not to come?"

"Then it's up to you to make them suddenly want to go out to see that day, and it happened to be a "coincidence" encounter..." The girl said seriously.

She has always understood when she should be flexible. Although she had previously rejected this kind of behavior of directly manipulating other people's will, affecting the other's thinking, and misleading judgment results, but if there is really no way, then if the two people are really so determined, Naturally, it can only be decisive.

“…”

“…”

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" she wondered.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little surprised that Yukinoshita-san, you are so... um, so enthusiastic." Xia Ran shook her head and spent a second on the adjective.

Xuexia was stunned for a moment, then laughed at herself:

"Yeah...Actually, I only recently discovered that I actually enjoyed it for the past month or so. I feel that this period is completely different from before, and this is the first time I have had such a friend, so I really don't want to see her leave like this..."

She blushed a little embarrassedly as she said those words.

“…”

“…”

There is another silence.

"What, what? Why didn't you speak? You suddenly showed such a strange expression." Yukinoshita raised her hair as if to hide her dissatisfaction.

"Cough, I have a question, Yukinoshita classmate..." Xia Ran clenched her hand into a fist, raised it to her mouth pretentiously, coughed twice to clear her throat, "My friend, to you , is it such an important existence?"

"Isn't this a matter of course? I only have Yubihama-san as a friend!" The girl replied displeased, her expression suddenly turned gloomy, completely different from before.

"Then, Yukinoshita-kun, I'm here—" Xia Ran was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly, and said in a very gentle tone.

"I'm sorry, there's no way to do this." However, before he could finish his words, Yukinoshita had already refused. Seeing how she was so overwhelmed with thought, it really made people wonder if she had even thought about it.

"That, that answer? Wait, wait, I haven't finished speaking yet..." Xia Ran's expression immediately froze.

"I'm so sorry, this is a subconscious reaction..." The girl apologized insincerely, then turned to look out the window, her tone was as cold as ever.

"This sentence hurts even more..." Xia Ran twitched the corners of his mouth, "You care about Yubihama so much, don't you plan to take care of my mood as well?"

"I don't plan to, and I cherish her only because Yubihama-san is a friend. I don't need you to sympathize with me..." Yukinoshita replied indifferently, she felt that she had seen through the person in front of her. idea.

"I didn't think so!"

"Then why do you want to be friends with me?" She frowned, trying to see through the thoughts of the person in front of her.

This question is asking... Does being a friend have to have a motive, a starting point? Is this logic flawed? But I have to say that when this question is really run out, it is indeed difficult to answer.

Xia Ran hesitated: "Because...my friends are few?"

Yukinoshita didn't believe in such a perfunctory answer at all, she waved her hand and glanced at the exotic girl next to her subconsciously: "You can decide the specific plan, if the time is too rushed, we will Just push it back..."

"No, I don't really need to arrange any mechanical devices, just find a good actor and determine the venue..."

Xia Ran doesn't plan to push this matter further back, it's not a problem to delay it for so long, it's better to solve it as soon as possible... Of course, all of this is out of his urgent hope to see Hikigu and Yubihama. For the sake of rehabilitating one's past, there is absolutely no personal bad taste, and the reason for wanting to persecute someone is included.

"Well, so that's the decision?"

"That's the decision. When I'm done with my own affairs in the past two days, I will immediately deal with those two troublesome guys..." Xia Ran said decisively.

Get rid of those two troublesome guys right away... How does this sound like you're going to kill someone and throw a corpse away?

Yukinoshita thought about it and felt that something was wrong, but her attention was taken away in a blink of an eye: "What are you going to deal with these two days? It seems that you don't plan to take regular exams?"

"Introduce modern common sense to Saber, and solve the identity problem for her..." Xia Ran twisted her fingers, calculating one by one, "And go to Moriya Shrine..."

"Go to Moriya Shrine? Worship God?"

"Worship God... It's not wrong to say so, but I'm going to tell them something, and I need to go to Gensokyo by myself..." Xia Ran said casually, "But I'll find it myself. It's not on the road, and didn't they say before that they would go in and investigate soon? I'll see if I can hitch a ride."

"Go to Gensokyo? Why, didn't you refuse the invitation of the big monster called Yakumo Zi before?"

The girl's face suddenly became strange.

"I'm not planning to emigrate, or I just want to ask her some questions." Xia Ran stretched out his finger and scratched his cheek. If he could, he didn't really look like that old...youkai girl.

But after tossing around all night last night, he couldn't find any valuable information about the second magic "parallel world interference".

Considering what the two gods had told him before about the terrifying aspects of the unique talent of a monster like Yakumo Zi, he keenly felt that he might be able to make a breakthrough...
