Himejima Akeno nodded and said, "I have to clean up the affairs of the shrine later, so I can't accompany you."
Himejima Akeno usually lives at the shrine.
Of course, the owner of the shrine is not her, but the original owner gave her to take care of the shrine.
"Then I'll stay here for a while and go."
Xia Yan nodded.
Since there is no one there, it doesn't make sense for him to stay here.
After eating some snacks prepared by Himejima Akeno, Xia Yan got up and left the Supernatural Research Department.
However, as soon as he walked out the door, he saw a beautiful picture.
On the window in the corridor, Lias leaned against the window sill, sitting quietly on the window cover, looking into the distance, her long red hair fluttering in the wind.
Chapter 35 Rias' Straight Ball
At this moment, the sun was setting, and the faint afterglow of the setting sun fell on Rias's body, dyeing her with a hazy color.
Rias quietly looked out the window, her pretty face, which was usually confident and calm, looked pitiful and helpless at this moment.
Usually, Rias feels like a highly educated aristocrat, every move has a kind of majesty and elegance that matches her appearance, and no one can find any faults.
This is indeed the case, as the heir of the Gremory family and the future duchess, Rias has lived up to her status at all.
Shrewd and capable, well-behaved, on the big stage.
On the devil's side, Rias's reputation is also very good. Many people who know her will say with emotion that she is indeed the next head of the pure blood demon noble.
However, at this moment, the Rias who appeared in front of Xia Yan was not the shrewd and capable heir to the grand duke, but an ordinary girl caught in a heavy heart.
"Senior Rias, so you are here."
Xia Yan strode over and greeted softly.
Although the sound was not heavy, it was enough to be heard in the quiet old school building.
"Two eighty zero" However, Lias didn't seem to notice Xia Yan's voice at all, and didn't even notice Xia Yan's approaching. She just looked out of the window in a daze, her pair of pupils were a little slack, completely caught in the In a state of desperation.
Until Xia Yan came to Rias's side, she still didn't recover from the absent-minded state.
"Senior Rias, what are you thinking, so engrossed."
Xia Yan poked Rias's shoulder lightly with her fingers, and said aloud.
"ah....."
Suddenly being woken up, Rias let out a cute exclamation that was a bit out of character.
Even his body was a little unsteady, he grabbed the air a few times in a hurry, and after being supported by Xia Yan, he stabilized his body and did not fall from the window sill.
"It's you, Xia Yan."
Rias was still in shock, her chest heaved and she lost her breath, and then let go of Xia Yan's hand.
"It's all here, why don't you go to the activity room? Instead, stay here alone in a daze?"
Xia Yan asked with a smile.
"The environment in the activity room is too stuffy."
Rias pulled out a smile and explained: "So, I just want to breathe here."
"Didn't you decorate it yourself?"
Xia Yan complained.
"It's true to say so, but sometimes the activity room is really dull."
Rias said helplessly.
That dark style is the devil's preference.
It's just that during this time, Rias felt that this style was too heavy, making it hard to breathe.
"Where are you now?"
Rias looked at Xia Yan and asked.
"I'm the only one in the activity room. It's meaningless to stay here. I'm going home."
Xia Yan replied with a smile: "It's you, who looks preoccupied."
"I heard from Himejima-senpai that things didn't go well when you went back to the family for two days that weekend?"
"That fellow Akeno..."
Rias nodded helplessly and said, "It's not a big deal, I can handle it myself."
"That's easy to say."
Xia Yan shrugged and said, "However, the expression on your face doesn't tell me that."
"There is a proverb that is quite suitable to describe you now."
"what?"
Rias was curious.
"A dead duck has a tough mouth."
Xia Yan said bluntly.
Rias' face suddenly became funny, and finally she could only sigh and said: "I'm not a dead duck, but this is my own business. If it's not a last resort, I don't want to infect you with my troubles."
"Oh."
Xia Yan nodded, turned and left.
"Hey, why don't you ask?"
Seeing Xia Yan's back turning around decisively, Lias was taken aback for a moment, and then said quickly.
"What's there to ask?"
Xia Yan asked back.
"Sure enough, what Zhu Nai said is right, you really don't understand style."
Rias showed a helpless smile.
"I don't like to dig deep into other people's personal problems."
Xia Yan shook her head, then leaned leisurely against the wall, looked at Lias, and said with a smile: "Of course, if you want to talk, I don't mind being a listener."
Lias fell silent, and the surrounding suddenly became quiet. Under Xia Yan's gaze, Lias asked slowly: "Xia Yan, do you think you were born in a noble family, okay?"
"Looking at your expression, my answer is definitely - being born in a noble family is not necessarily a good thing sometimes."
Xia Yan said so.
"What a perfunctory answer, I want to hear your real answer."
Rias showed a helpless smile of dissatisfaction.
"At least, for most people, if they can be reborn, they will definitely choose to be born in a noble family."
Xia Yan shrugged and replied.
"What about you?"
Rias asked.
"Of course I do too."
Xia Yan smiled and said: "After all, if you can really choose, you will definitely choose a family that can live comfortably, and you can save a lot of trouble in the future."
"However, being born into an aristocratic family, generally speaking, while enjoying rights, one must also assume corresponding responsibilities."
"This kind of responsibility can sometimes be very heavy."
Regarding Xia Yan's words, Lias did not refute, nodded and said, "I don't think it is a bad thing to be born in the Gremory family."
"It's better to say that I am very grateful to fate for allowing me to appear in the Gremory family, allowing me to have a family that loves me and countless honors."
"Sounds like Rias."
Xia Yan said with a smile.
Lias gave Xia Yan a coquettish look, and said, "It's just that sometimes, I also hope that while bearing the surname Gremory, others can remember that I am still Rias."
"Good ambition."
Xia Yan praised: "However, it seems that it is not easy to achieve it."
While carrying Gremory on his back, it is also necessary for outsiders to remember such a person.
In fact, it is very simple to say it simply. 0
As long as you surpass the ancestors of the Gremory clan, lead the Gremory clan to a new peak.
In this way, it is enough for outsiders to remember Rias as a person, not just the surname Gremory.
"Yeah, I have been working hard for this goal."
Rias said with a wry smile: "But sometimes, I find that the responsibilities required to bear the surname Gremory are really too difficult for me to accept."
"So what worries you these days is Gremory's responsibility?"
Xia Yan asked back.
Rias nodded silently.
"Marriage contract?"
Xia Yan asked.
"Did Junai tell you?"
Rias asked in surprise.
She never mentioned this matter in front of Xia Yan, the only possibility is that Akeno Himejima was not tight-lipped and said it out.
