7:30 pm, Thorny Area.
Caldesia and Reiichi Shigure were walking on the road to the pigeon station.
"Damn Gongsun Ce! He's already in college and he's still taking revenge like a child!"
The blonde woman in the top hat shook the shopping bag vigorously while complaining to the young man next to her.
The dinner for the first club event was instant noodles and instant noodles, cooked by the owner of the apartment himself. One of the bowls of food where even the noodles turned as bright red as fire should be closely related to the chef's personal emotions. How many packets of chili powder do you need to add to get that color?
The young man in a suit lowered his hands to comfort him: "After all, Gongsun was chased for several streets..."
Caldesia dismissed it.
"Huh! From all aspects, it's all his fault!"
"But it was Caldesia who pulled the trigger."
Although he had never been to the scene of the incident, the young man made his judgment as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
The blonde girl giggled.
"Don't you think it's interesting to see that guy being chased all over the sky? The organizations couldn't do this before when they surrounded and suppressed him!"
Panicked, scrambling, and running away, the gray-haired young man rarely showed actions that fit these words.
Gongsun Ce always makes himself look confident...when he is not so impulsive. Such a person screams to avoid being hunted and seeks protection. It is really an interesting thing that will make acquaintances smile.
The young man in a suit thought of someone hiding behind him and responded with a chuckle: "It's very interesting."
The blonde girl poked her companion in the face with her finger.
"Reiichi, you are so angry at times like this."
"I did not do anything."
"You're still pretending! Just take this opportunity to tell them directly if you don't want to!"
Caldesia's fingers poked him here and there, and he had to turn his head slightly to avoid it.
"I think it's better to leave this kind of matter to them themselves? As friends, we can't express our unilateral views to them for reasons like 'I think...'. In other words , Bystanders must have the consciousness of bystanders.”
The blonde girl stared at him angrily, as if she didn't hear a word he said. She put down her shopping bag and raised her two index fingers like a fighting character preparing to launch her special move. Her voice sounded like a terrifying demon declaring war.
"Don't move! Let me poke you!!"
Rei Shigure helplessly stood still and let someone poke him.
"You're right..." Caldesia picked up the shopping bag, "But a wooden head who doesn't understand other people's thoughts deserves to be run over by a tractor!"
How the punishment for dull boys changed from horses to large farming equipment.
Is it necessary to advance science and technology in a place like this? Or should we retain a little bit of basic humanism in the ever-moving tide of the times?
"These words are particularly convincing when spoken by Caldesia."
"Huh?! Reiichi, your statement seems to be doubting my social skills?"
The term "social ability" sounds like a convenient ability in a novel that can have different effects at different levels.
The young man in a suit has no doubts about the other person's interpersonal skills.
He felt that Cardesia Spencer was not qualified to criticize others only in terms of "slowness".
"How is it?" He asked in confusion, changing the subject before the other party could react, "Speaking of which, it's rare to see superpower organizations recently."
The out-of-the-box girl immediately shifted her attention.
"The first batch of super-powered people like me are already in college. No matter how much I love super-powered fighting, it's time for me to graduate from the house game. Fighting over territory in the streets is a stupid thing they can do. come out!"
"What Caldesia means is that all the ability users from various organizations have also graduated from it."
The blonde girl closed her eyes and thought.
Shigure Reiichi chuckled in his heart. She should want to look like a sleeping detective, but unfortunately she looks like a student dozing off in the exam room.
The drowsy candidate finally woke up from his dream: "There must be quite a few graduates as they age... In addition, the idiots in Cangshou District have done some practical work in the past few years."
As soon as the topic of politicians and government officials came up, the top hat girl immediately became gushing.
"You can't even imagine how bad they did before! You can see the Iron Giant and the biochemical beast fighting in the street in broad daylight. The organized chuunibyou fight in schools and on the street. The white coats lead the gangsters everywhere to kidnap them. Children are used as guinea pigs, and a city looks like a den of thieves! After all the fighting was done, the people in gray came out to clean up the aftermath, repaired the damaged buildings, and at the end of the year said in an official tone that this year's city's The accident casualty rate has dropped by several percentage points compared to last year... Bah!"
"I would say that this is the only place where people from the three countries can work together and cooperate: as soon as the ministers and officials closed the door in Cangshou District, they had a friendly exchange of words on how to pretend to be deaf and dumb. In less than ten years, everything was ruined. Learning in the Sky City has made progress that was unparalleled in the past hundred years. If you pick any school teacher, you can hear the nonsense of the Kingdom, the talk of the United States, and the official talk of the Empire at the same time. If you ask, there are no urban facilities in the past ten years. Where has the money invested by various countries gone during the Great Renewal? They will have a lot to say to you..."
The blond woman who started talking had no intention of letting it go. The young man from Lingdao listened in one ear and out the other, skillfully forgetting all her sharp comments. This impassioned editorial lasted for about five minutes. When the two of them were almost at the dividing line of the central area, Caldesia realized: "So these people - how did we pass the pigeon station?!"
"I've been following you." The young man in a suit said "surprised", "I thought you didn't want to take the empty road today."
"No, I bought a gift specially for the new residents!!" She picked up the shopping bag angrily, "It's all your fault for not reminding me!"
"Yes, it's all my fault."
What exactly is in that tote bag? Even he wouldn't have thought of the weird ideas a girl would have.
But he believed that Caldesia's temporary cohabitant would show a wonderful expression when receiving the gift. Thinking of this, as his younger brother, he felt very happy.
"Are you having fun with your new cohabitants?"
"It's pretty good~" Caldesia replied ambiguously, "She seems to be a person with a lot of stories...but sometimes she seems very naive, just like Kirara-chan."
Naive?
If Gongsun heard such a description, he would be the first to stand up and object. From the perspective of a relative, he felt that this word might be very appropriate.
This word is inappropriate to describe the girl with pink hair.
"I think..." He took out a small book from his pocket, "Miss Qiluo is not an innocent person."
Caldesia raised an eyebrow.
"Oh?"
"Miss Qiluo seems to have no common sense and her behavior seems weird, but in my opinion, her actions have a clear purpose."
Shigurei opened the book and turned to a page recording the timeline.
"Singing on the street is to attract the attention of others. The purpose of retaining Gongsun at all costs is to leave the only person who can recognize herself. Through communication with Gongsun, she successfully regained some of her abilities. This pair of people who want to find themselves It was a great thing for Miss Qiluo. She immediately entangled this new acquaintance of the opposite sex and tried to find ways to stay by his side. Those intimate actions were all intentional actions to shorten the distance. , rather than her display of innocence—what’s that explanation?”
The blonde top hat woman patted his shoulder with a heavy expression.
"Reiichi, you can be more positive. Sometimes the world is not as bad as you think."
"Ha ha."
"If you look at people through colored glasses, any behavior will be interpreted as intentional! Really, you should trust others more!"
Shigurei put away the notebook and blinked.
"Isn't it you, Cardesia, who told me before that 'the city is very dangerous and you, a guy like you who are not good at frontal combat, should learn to protect yourself' and stuffed me with a pistol?"
"ah……"
The blond woman's mouth was half open, and she stayed in embarrassment for a long time, and then she said unreasonably amidst the laughter of the young man: "This time, that time! You have to learn to be flexible!"
"Yes."
As if taking the opportunity to vent, the girl found an excuse and started scolding the other person: "So! It's because of this that Reiichi has never been able to find a girlfriend!"
"ah?"
The young man in a suit was stunned.
Caldesia pointed at him angrily: "Your gloomy way of thinking makes you look malicious! I introduced you to several classmates, but they all said they didn't dare to approach you!"
That's more likely to be the influence of Gongsun and your bad reputation.
……Wait a moment.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
"Caldesia, would you like to introduce me to your classmates...?"
The blond girl put her arm around his shoulders like an uncle, rubbing her fingers restlessly in front of the young man's eyes.
"Hey, you're already in college, aren't you? It's no longer the age for secretly watching short videos under the covers, but the age for real action, right?"
The young man in a suit rarely panicked.
"Ah, ah?"
"That is to say, it's time for Reiichi to find a girlfriend! You can't stay with me like you are now!"
Completely...unexpected.
The other party would actually say such a thing.
What's wrong with you. Have you been stimulated by anything recently? Were you involved in any incident? Did Sister Zero say something...
Did you notice something unusual about him?
Discovered the past of Reiichi Shigure's existence?
An indescribable feeling of panic arose in his heart, and the young man in a suit realized that he might have made a wrong decision. What else can be done now...he must do something...!
"Look, in ten or twenty years, we won't be what we are now."
But the words coming out of the other person's mouth didn't match what he was thinking.
"Reiichi will probably become a handsome uncle in more than ten years? I have no confidence that he will still be as young and beautiful as he is now. After all, time is a woman's natural enemy."
It has nothing to do with the world inside, or the dark past.
Just an ordinary girl looking forward to her future.
"We were no longer students by then, and the only time we can enjoy our youth is now. You can't go to high school students when you're 40 like me, right? You'll be arrested as a problem!"
Caldesia giggled.
"So Reiichi, hurry up and get a girlfriend now and try the taste of love. Although falling in love will make people become stupid, it's good for a smart person like you to be stupid sometimes!"
Shigurei stared at the girl beside him speechlessly.
She stood within arm's reach, yet seemed so far away.
It seems that if you make a slight mistake, you will leave your own world.
"I...haven't thought about these things yet."
He tried his best to answer in a normal tone, making the dry words seem like an uninterested reply.
"Being so rigid will lead to premature aging, so be careful." Caldesia shook the bag, "We are already in the central area anyway, so I might as well go get a beauty treatment before returning. Bye~"
"See you."
He replied unconsciously.
The thoughts in my mind were like a mess.
He stood there blankly, watching the girl's back fading away in the neon lights of the city night.
When he came back to his senses, Shigure Reiichi had already made a sound.
"Caldesia!"
The blonde girl turned around.
"What's wrong?"
What should I say at this time?
He had no idea what to do, but he realized he had to do something.
Otherwise, the boredom in your heart will never rest.
Otherwise, you will have trouble sleeping the rest of the night.
"Do you have time this weekend? I want to go... buy some things."
Too much haste.
Can't even think of a suitable excuse.
"You know, I'm not very good at this..."
I could only say such crude words, secretly hoping that I could get through it.
Caldesia smiled in surprise.
"It's so rare that I want to go shopping! Okay, I happen to have nothing to do on the weekend. Decide on a time and place and call me~"
"Okay, bye."
He smiled softly and watched the girl walk away.
Then, Shigure Reiichi silently recited someone's name in his heart and used his superpower to establish a link with him.
The telepathy took longer than he expected, and it looked like the person he was speaking to had left the house in Thorns.
Finally, the connection line in the heart was established.
(Gongsun, this is a love problem. Can you help me this weekend?)
The gray-haired young man's exclamation came from his heart.
(Oh my god, have you finally figured it out? I’ll elaborate on it later outside, so don’t worry and leave it to me!)
