His whisper rushed to my face as I heard the door open and a slow thud of something falling.
He and Xion looked in the direction of the sound at the same time, and saw his brother standing there, Halma, and the cardboard box that fell on the ground.
Behind her were Les, who was even redder than Natsumi, and Lina, whose cheeks were slightly red, and although she was covering her mouth, her eyes were sparkling.
"Ah, crap!"
As soon as Xion finished speaking, Hjalmar, who was approaching the distance instantly, shot Xion's chin with his fist.
"I meant no harm, I just thought your reaction was funny."
"One more shot?"
Facing Xion's statement, who was sitting upright on the bed, Chunma made a "beep" sound.
"I don't know if your reaction is funny. Did you conflict with my sister in this way?"
"Wow, it turns out I have confidence too."
Along with that reaction, Haruma seemed to dislike the reaction of Xion who was looking at him in the distance. Haruma grabbed his collar and shook Xion's head unsteadily.
"Brother Harujian, let's stop here..."
"It's so sweet, Natsumi. Even though it's difficult, this guy is still a man."
"What does it mean?"
"I'm so annoyed. Why are you dressed so shamelessly?"
Regarding Haruma's question, Xion gave the same explanation as Natsumi. Haruma took out a piece of cloth from the cardboard box that had just fallen and threw it at Xion's face.
"Hey, are these my clothes?"
"Commander Rastel asked me to bring it back from your room."
"Trespassing into a private room, where did my privacy go?"
"I don't know, your room is so cruel."
Haruma took a deep breath, and Lina and Les also showed subtle expressions. Theon's private quarters seemed rather deserted.
"To this day, my room is dirty. This happened when I was a student."
"Don't worry. This is a single room reserved for senior soldiers. It even has a laundry room, but there's no sign of washing clothes... I've been worrying about which one to bring for a while."
"You don't have to do laundry. You can keep it clean with magic. But folding it is too troublesome, so I'm lazy."
Theon, who didn't care about Halma's harsh advice, confirmed that the piece of cloth was a T-shirt and started grabbing the buttons of the T-shirt on the spot.
"Ding ding ding! Stop trying to change into ordinary clothes!"
"No, I'm not taking off my underwear..."
"But in front of girls?"
"In the Thirteenth Skills Class, even if there is a female lineup, will they change into ordinary clothes?"
"I don't think that's the problem!"
Xion was a little embarrassed by Natsumi's reaction, so he snapped his fingers, and the quilt floated out lightly, spreading between Xion and Natsumi. It seems that he was asked to replace the curtains.
"Can you show me what's in the box by the way?"
"Ah, yes."
Haruma, who grabbed the box, walked around the quilt that served as a curtain and handed the box to Xion.
"...Are you too thin? After all, you have become a pilot, so it would be better to exercise more."
Although Natsumi and the others couldn't see it, Xion was probably about to change into a T-shirt, exposing his upper body.
Indeed, compared with Halma, Les, Ji and others of the same age, Theon gives the impression of being slender.
Perhaps because he cared about Chunma's accusation, Rice also looked at Xion who was changing clothes like Chunma. Then he tilted his head slightly.
"Speaking of which, Xion is very thin regardless of whether he exercises or not. He usually eats so much, it would be nice to be a little plumper..."
The same was true for the cake buffet last time. Xion usually ate more than the average person. Mainly sweets, although you won't build muscles, but a little more fat is okay, but it doesn't have that kind of atmosphere.
"...To be honest, I'm a little envious of you."
"I know."
Lina murmured under her breath, and Natsumi agreed reflexively.
Overeating and eating the sweets that I love so much and still maintaining a slim figure are enviable and make me feel a little cunning.
During this period, Xion didn't know if he had changed his clothes. The quilt used as a curtain was floating lightly in the air and neatly folded beside the bed.
Theon's clothing is also T-shirts and sweatshirts.
"So, what are you doing here now?"
"It's really what happened now..."
But if you think about it carefully, Xion had been sleeping before Natsumi arrived. I'm afraid Xiaojing didn't explain it to her beforehand.
I told him about the agent surveillance, but he didn't hear me and showed a bit surprised and surprised expression.
"Overprotective again..."
"It's not overprotective, it's just not trusted, right?"
"At this point, there is no reason to come into the room anymore, and the captain knows it very well."
It was obviously unfounded, but there was a sense of certainty in Xion's voice.
Indeed, asking him to take over the surveillance mission was unlike Akita's hasty instructions. This would be explained if the need for surveillance was not felt in the first place.
Generally speaking, he is more concerned about Xion's physical condition than monitoring.
"...There's nothing you can do about being overprotective, right? Because of what happened yesterday."
Les looked a little bad when he said this.
Hearing "yesterday's incident", Natsumi also thought of the scene when Shien suddenly vomited blood. I'm afraid Natsumi's expression is no worse than Les's.
Natsumi lowered her head subconsciously and placed her hand gently on her head.
Looking up, Xion leaned out of the bed and stroked Natsumi's head.
"Well, the picture is indeed not very good... I think I was shocked, but I'm fine, don't worry."
Xion smiled awkwardly and tenderly, an expression she had rarely seen before, and Natsumi was speechless.
In this state, "What?" After hearing this instruction, she could only nod.
Xion didn't seem to notice Natsumi's heart at all. After confirming Natsumi's nod, he smiled reassuringly and left.
"(This is the sense of distance between the Thirteenth Skill Class and Rastel Tactics...)"
Although I had dated Xion as good friends before, what I experienced now was a completely different feeling.
So far, Xion has always been kind to Xia Mei in this way, but this is the first time that she has treated Xia Mei with such loving eyes and attitude.
If this becomes a matter of course from now on...that might be a little bad for the heart.
"...Does it really not matter?"
Haruma asked Xion again seriously.
Although Theon said he was fine, he vomited blood after all. As someone who has actually witnessed it, we cannot simply accept it and say it is okay.
"It's okay, it's okay. The infirmary also guarantees that there will be no problem."
"Speaking of which, why did you become like that?"
From Natsumi and the others, they could only see the process of Xion, who said he wanted to investigate Akito, suddenly pushed away by Zhu Yue, vomiting blood like that.
It’s hard to feel at ease if you don’t explain why things turned out that way.
Perhaps sensing the mood of Natsumi and the others, Xion looked at them hesitantly.
"The 'Light Wing Orb' that has a contract with the captain seems to have a defense mechanism to prevent it from being abused by evil things. When I was investigating the captain's condition, I hit him by the way, but he was attacked."
"Then you vomited blood?"
"That's it."
Although I don’t know what level Theon meant by “somewhat”, it’s somewhat unsafe to get counterattacked by vomiting blood when he tried to investigate.
The "Light Wing Orb" that does this kind of thing is a bit scary.
"Is it okay for Brother Xiaojing to sign a contract with that kind of thing?"
When exchanging information yesterday, both Xion and Zhu Yue said that there should be no problem, but when they thought of Xion becoming like that, they began to worry about Ajid's safety.
Theon doesn't seem worried about this, though.
"When the contract is established, I will never take action against the captain."
"Yeah?"
"If the other person is a good person, treat him gently; if the other person is a bad person, kill him... Baozhu's actions are that simple."
It is precisely because of its simplicity that it will not waver.
Theon's thinking seems to be that if something happens to Argento, it will happen before the contract is made.
"Also, Baozhu seems to have specifically discussed it with the captain. Even if the contract cannot be signed, he will not take action."
In this way, it is difficult to imagine that someone with such extreme thinking would go out of his way to get close to someone with no potential.
"Then, I might be fine."
Just like Xiaojing, Natsumi also heard the voice of the orb.
