Emotionally speaking, it is certainly a joyful thing for two people to get along harmoniously, but apart from feelings, the calm part of Lena's heart hinders this.
There is no conclusive proof that Theon is not an enemy of humans.
Under this situation, it would be very dangerous if Halma, Lina and others let down their guard against Xion.
In order to be able to fight Xion without hesitation in case of emergency, it is best to have a certain sense of distance.
Just think about it for a moment, and these thoughts will swirl in Lena's mind.
This is a correct idea to protect Lina and the others' personal safety, but Natsumi is dangerous because she is too impatient.
Even so, why do you think Natsumi is more beautiful when you put her in front of you?
"I'm so unlovable..."
“Isn’t Lina cute?”
Natsumi answered matter-of-factly while tilting her head.
Lina once again realized that this kind of straightforward and calm behavior was the charm of Natsumi, so she allowed her love to rise and embrace Natsumi.
They made a sound of surprise, and then laughed in unison.
"It's hard to have a pleasant bath time, so let's not talk about those complicated topics anymore, right? Natsumi is working hard at the helm. It's impossible not to take a good rest at this time."
"...Well, maybe so. I don't know when the next shower will be!"
Putting aside the topic of work and worries, the people standing there were not the pilot and the helmsman, but two girls of similar age.
The conversation gradually shifted to topics such as accessories that are popular in society, delicious desserts, and TV series and movies that can be watched in free time.
"Oh my, two cute girls talking cute words."
Because of this, the two people who were immersed in these topics did not notice someone coming from behind until they heard someone say this.
"Ms. Li, Miss Linli?"
"Yes, it's Sister Linli!"
"The way I was entangled just now is more like an uncle than a sister~~"
Miao suddenly appeared from behind Lin Li. There is also Angela's figure behind.
"Do the students in Class 13 take a shower together?"
"Yes! Miss Akane seemed to be very busy, so she couldn't go."
"The boys were kind enough to go to the shower room, so we came too." Lin Li smiled and left the bath, washing his hair and body neatly.
"Are you saying all men are?"
"Eh? Natsumi seems to care about this very much?!"
Linli rinsed her hair in the shower while listening to Natsumi's speech, her eyes shining.
Not only Linli, but also Jin Jiang and Angela who were bathing on both sides of her.
"Wow~~! Does Natsumi feel that way about Xion?"
"Ah, no, Xion seems to be afraid of bathing, so I'm surprised."
"Well, it does feel like being led by Robin and the others..."
"But it's interesting to think of Mr. Sheehan in an instant from the topic just now."
From Jin Zhi's sarcasm to Lin Li's calm words, the topic was moved away, but unexpectedly, Angela's strength made the topic turn to the relationship between Natsumi and Xion.
After coming back to their senses, the three of them washed their hair and bodies in a blink of an eye and soaked in the bathtub.
"So Miss Natsumi, what do you actually think of Mr. Sheehan?!"
"Uh-huh……"
Lina glanced at Angela with sparkling eyes and said secretly to Jin Hui and Lin Li.
"Ah, is Angela such a talkative child?"
"Well, I just finished reading a set of shoujo comics I lent you."
"Xiao An is easily affected by this. Now he is very interested in love."
- Fall in love.
Although it did not appear in the conversation with Natsumi just now, it will start unknowingly whenever girls get together. This is a fixed and fixed topic.
"So, what is the actual situation? Ever since her identity was revealed, Natsumi seems to be talking to Xion normally. They have been good friends since they were in the military academy, right?"
Lin Li's speech was obviously evil, and Xia Mei, who was sandwiched between Angela, whose eyes were shining brightly, turned red.
"We have a good relationship because we get along, but we don't have that feeling..."
"But, he is the best boy, right?"
"Well, he is indeed the best among men outside his family..."
"Don't you already like it?!"
"Isn't the conclusion too extreme!? Jin Zhi! What kind of shoujo manga did you lend her?!"
"It's very common, very common... I probably borrowed more than ten titles, and there are various types, so no matter what the answer is, I think you will come to this conclusion!"
In short, even if you answer that the relationship is not very good, it will be interpreted as "I can't be honest, but I really like it."
In other words, Natsumi had nowhere to escape.
In this case, the only option is to take strong measures such as forcibly ending the conversation. As a special case, Angela, who has been a member of the human army since she was a child, is only thirteen years old.
With Natsumi's character, it's impossible to take tough measures against girls younger than herself.
"And Miss Lina is also surrounded by two handsome guys, Miss Haruma and Miss Reese, how about the neighborhood?!"
"Am I coming too?!"
Angela's magic hand suddenly approached Lina who almost said nothing.
"If it were a shoujo manga, it would definitely lead to a triangle relationship...if Miss Lina's mood changes..."
Lina, like Natsumi, was unable to push away the aggressive Angela.
As a result, the two were kept receiving questions from Angela before Linley and Jingen rescued them.
"I was a little unhappy just now, but I have nothing to do with Xion. In fact, you know it without asking."
Linley said easily as he pulled Angela away from the two of them.
If this is the case, what happened in the previous conversation? I wanted to ask, but what I cared more about was the certainty clearly revealed in her tone.
The fact that Lin Li, who was not involved in the incident, could assert that there was nothing between Xion and Natsumi can be considered to be based on certain information.
"...Does Xion like someone?"
Natsumi's question was exactly what Lina was about to ask.
If it is known that Xion's heart is towards someone other than Natsumi, it should be sufficient basis to believe that there is nothing between the two.
But in response to the question, Lin Li silently shook his head.
"On the contrary, Xion doesn't like others at all, so even if he has a good relationship with Natsumi, it won't matter."
After hearing Lin Li's smiling answer, Kanako next to her also nodded.
But Lina was still a little confused about what the two said.
"In my opinion, he is a very picky person..."
Theon Istar whom Linna knew had an attitude towards others that was either 0 or 1.
Basically, he is fair to others, neither negative nor positive.
He won't be sarcastic when being spoken to, but that's just it after all. There is no need to interfere too much with the other party.
This was how Theon was when he first entered the Military Academy. He treated everyone equally, no matter whether he was good or bad.
On the contrary, it is very forgiving once pulled inside.
This is especially obvious for Ji who is closest to him. Although he speaks a bit harshly to him, he will never hinder others.
After becoming friends in the sergeant academy, she was also very gentle to Lina, Haruma and others. Unexpectedly, she would carefully prepare gifts to congratulate everyone on their birthday.
When I think of these little episodes, it’s hard to imagine falling in love with someone.
"I didn't say it well. The correct way to say it is... I want to like someone."
After saying this, Miao looked a little surprised.
"Once you are judged as a member of the family, you will become very naive, but that's all... I feel that everyone is an equal member of the family!"
"Yes, yes. Although Ji looks very conspicuous and gives people a feeling of being spoiled, in Xion's heart, as long as he is judged as one of his own, Ji is the same as us."
"Really, what is it..."
Although she understood what she wanted to say, unfortunately, Lina couldn't remember it.
Although classified as a friend, Lina did not have the opportunity to come into contact with Xion like others in the Thirteenth Skill Class, so the tentative conclusion is that this difference may directly lead to a different impression of Xion.
"So……"
Natsumi, who was sitting next to Lina and curled up in the bathtub, groaned with dissatisfaction.
