Chapter 88 Yukinoshita and Shiina Face a Choice

"I'm also in a bad mood, let me vent a little," Natsumi explained as Yui Yuigahama came to him.

"You're still in a bad mood? What am I supposed to do?" Yui Yuigahama pouted and asked in dissatisfaction.

"You can take it out on me." Xia Sheng puffed out his chest, indicating that she could hit him.

"I don't want to." Yui Yuigahama pouted and refused.

"Didn't you just hit it?"

"That's different..."

"What's different?"

"That was just the atmosphere. I just wanted to act cute... Besides, I didn't use any force. Even if I hit you, I wouldn't use much force. How would I vent my anger?" Yui Yuigahama's voice grew softer and softer.

"Oh? Why can't you exert any force?" Xia Sheng asked with a smile.

"You know perfectly well why you're asking this." Yui Yuigahama rolled her eyes at him.

"I really don't know."

"Hmm... I know I can't bear to part with it..." Yui Yuigahama muttered softly.

"What did you say?" Xia Sheng pretended not to hear and leaned closer to ask.

"There's nothing there!" Yui Yuigahama replied, her face slightly flushed, raising her voice.

"How can she be so cute?" Xia Sheng couldn't help but hug her, lower his head, and want to kiss her.

But Yui Yuigahama lowered her head, avoiding his kiss: "I told you I wouldn't let you kiss me again today, hmph!"

"...Such a great atmosphere?"

"That won't help!" Yui Yuigahama said firmly.

"Then can you just kiss me, okay?"

"What's the difference? There won't be any kisses today anyway."

"Sigh..." Xia Sheng sighed helplessly.

"You... really want to kiss me that much?" Yui Yuigahama asked softly, seeing Natsuo's disappointment.

"I want to kiss you, Yui." Xia Sheng nodded, looking at her with a determined gaze.

"Hmm..."

Yui Yuigahama was a little shy, and she stammered, "I... I can't go back on my word, but..."

As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Xia Sheng's cheek.

"This...this is acceptable."

Natsumi blinked, looking at Yuigahama Yui, whose face was as alluring as cherry blossoms, and a smile appeared on his lips.

How can she be so cute?

"What about this side?" He turned his face to the other side.

"No more! You're trying to take advantage!" Yui Yuigahama resolutely refused and broke free from his embrace.

"Oh, how can you be so biased?"

"Hmph! This is the price you pay for betraying me!"

"How can this be called betrayal?"

"That's betrayal!" Yui Yuigahama crossed her arms, turned her head away, and looked like she was no longer going to talk to him.

"Since we can't kiss, let me hug you a little longer." Xia Sheng stepped forward and hugged her from behind again.

"You..." Yui Yuigahama struggled slightly, but gave up when she couldn't break free.

"It'll only be a little while anyway."

"A little while is enough." Xia Sheng held her, smelling the fragrance of her hair, enjoying this moment of peace and softness.

[Successfully eliminated the second layer of intruders, rewarding one special attribute point.]

As His prompting sounded, Natsuo and Yui Yuigahama's feet began to etherealize, extending upwards continuously.

Just before leaving, Xia Sheng added the special points.

......

On Sunday, after eating and drinking his fill, Natsuo took a shower and rested for a while. When he received a message from Shiina Mahiru, he went out to find her.

Today, Yukino Yukinoshita is indeed going to gather.

Although school starts tomorrow, we still need to summarize and analyze what happened in that place.

Yui Yuigahama didn't really want to gather, but she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

Even if she refused, Yukino and the others knew why, which only made her feel more awkward.

We still have no choice but to face it.

Natsumi arrived at Shiina Mahiru's house, knocked on the door, and after a few seconds, the door opened, and she came out with her hair still a little damp.

The moment he opened the door, Xia Sheng smelled a faint fragrance, though he couldn't tell if it was shampoo or shower gel.

Shiina Mahiru's outfit today was rather simple: a t-shirt, shorts, and a shirt jacket over them.

She looks like an ordinary woman, but her temperament and appearance make it impossible for people to think that way.

"Let's go." Without saying much, Shiina Mahiru took the lead and walked towards the elevator.

Xia Sheng followed her, but they didn't try to start a conversation for two days.

Shiina Mahiru made him breakfast in the morning without saying a word; it was clear that her mood hadn't improved.

Moreover, your mood might get even worse today.

Today's gathering place is still that family restaurant near the school.

Natsumi and Shiina Mahiru arrived at the family restaurant in silence.

As luck would have it, Yukino Yukinoshita also arrived.

"Good morning, Yukinoshita," Shiina Mahiru greeted with a smile.

"Good morning."

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded to the two of them and went into the family restaurant first.

Natsuo and Shiina Mahiru followed behind her.

Upon entering the family-run restaurant, the three ordered drinks at the counter and then went upstairs together.

The three went upstairs, and surprisingly, they didn't see that lively figure.

But that's quite normal.

At this time, there were no other customers, so Xia Sheng and his group chose to sit in their usual corner spot.

Natsumi and Shiina Mahiru sat on one side.

"Yuihama is actually later than us today," Yukino Yukinoshita started the conversation, her tone surprised.

"She was probably a little embarrassed," Xia Sheng explained.

"Sorry? I understand." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded knowingly.

"Then let's wait for her," Shiina Mahiru said calmly.

"No need, it doesn't matter whether we wait for her or not. Let Natsumi tell us what happened last night first, and then we can analyze the rest together when Yuihama arrives," Yukino Yukinoshita said.

"OK......"

"Guests, your drinks."

After the waiter finished serving the drinks and left, Xia Sheng began to talk about what happened last night.

Whether it was Yui Yuigahama punching a slime to pieces or him slaying a goblin with a sword, he told everything except about kissing and hugging.

After all, there's no need to talk about such a trivial matter.

"It's amazing that someone with magic can be this powerful..." Yukino Yukinoshita exclaimed softly after hearing this.

"The magic should be specifically designed to deal with invaders. Before, we could only rely on the rubble in that place, which was a kind of opportunistic trick," Shiina Mahiru analyzed.

"In that case... it seems we need to possess magic." Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly, looking at Natsuo.

"Magic..." Shiina Mahiru also looked at Natsuo.

For the two to possess magic, they need to do something more intimate with Natsumi, namely, kissing.

But kissing, unlike holding hands or hugging, can't be done as a friendly act.

Kissing is a step further in the relationship and an expression of affection. Although the two people don't intend to be in a romantic relationship yet, they want to maintain this connection.

I don't want to be casual.

However, the two of them also knew that this was not the time for them to be naive.

They are the same as Xia Sheng. Since they were summoned to that place, they should contribute their efforts and not just enjoy his protection. They should fight alongside him.

So, in their hearts, would they be willing to kiss Xia Sheng?

Both of them had actually asked themselves the question. Although they didn't have this idea, they also didn't have the idea of ​​rejecting it.

During this time together, Xia Sheng's selflessness, sincerity, and genuine affection for them were all seen and appreciated by them.

He is a good friend.

In order to survive, to contribute, and not to hold him back, they did not object to getting closer to him.

But they are not casual girls.

Taking their relationship closer to Xia Sheng meant that they had made a choice.

It's not just about making a decision to protect the world, but also about making choices based on emotions.
