Is it really a straight girl?

"I've had fun too."

"At least I haven't smiled in front of Mi Ji!" Mi Ji emphasized.

"Looks like that." Under the sound of rain, Mahiru contemplated for a while in silence, then admitted.

"So, Miki wants to make you happier." Miki said: "Is there anything Mahiru likes? Cough cough, I'm not talking about people I like, but things I like to eat, or what I want This is the gift."

"If Miki is happy, I will be very happy." The tone was the same as before.

"Please don't say things like this right now." Mi Ji wanted to hear something different now: "Tell me something specific, like what I like to eat, for example... dishes like roasted rabbits in honey sauce."

"Honey-baked rabbit? I don't really like to eat such rare things."

"Then what does Mahiru like? Miki will make it for you, and I'll make it for lunch later!"

"Some ordinary meals are fine. I don't really like any food in particular."

Be more specific. .

Miki pouted in frustration.

"If I have to say it, I might prefer ordinary sweets, such as chocolate." There was a pause between Mahiru's words, as if he had really thought about it.

"Chocolate...I know."

If you want to give a gift, it is better to express your heart by making it yourself.

Although I have never made chocolate, it should be fairly simple. Go to the supermarket to buy a large piece of baking chocolate to melt or buy cocoa powder, then add milk powder and powdered sugar in proportion, cook with butter, stir well and then pour Just put it into the mold, and it seems that there are commonly used molds in the kitchen now.

This is what homemade chocolate is like. Melt it and add a little bit of other seasonings, and when it solidifies, it's made by yourself.

Miji nodded slightly, planning to go downstairs immediately to buy some chocolate ingredients.

Since even after chatting with Mahiru for so long, she couldn't get a consensual answer, then Yaki planned to start with the simplest little things.

It is also good to be able to create a little happiness.

"Okay, but at noon today, I won't go back." Mahiru's voice was accompanied by the sound of rain.

"Eh?"

"I have some things to deal with outside, sorry. Please don't prepare my meal."

The sound of the rain after the phone call grew louder.

"Well, okay?" Mi Ji's promised voice was accompanied by some complaints and doubts.

"Sorry, Miki."

"No need to apologize, Mahiru doesn't need to be like this, if you have anything to do, please go and do it first." Miki responded.

"Well...then I'll hang up first."

"Okay, bye bye."

beep--

The sound suddenly disappeared and the call was cut off.

Mahiru did not respond to Yaki's farewell voice, and directly pressed end.

"It seems that you are really busy?" Mi Ji blinked, subconsciously propped up his body, and looked out the window.

Torrential downpour.

-

530 [-]. Others

Under the heavy rain that can be described as majestic.

Mahiru quietly put the phone away beside her already soaked dress, in a purse that had been drenched in rain for a long time.

The performance of the mobile phone is not bad, and the waterproof ability is as advertised. Even under heavy rain, this kind of scene is almost equivalent to being immersed in water, and the call can be made stably.

Slightly shaking off the strands of hair that were already drenched by the cold rain and sticking to her body, Mahiru scratched her hair a little bit, barely grabbing a handful of water.

Completely, drenched.

The black dress was completely attached to the body, almost completely revealing the curves of the skin. This feeling was really uncomfortable.

However, Mahiru doesn't have much time for comfort right now.

"Call, is it over?"

Under the rain alley, a woman with long flaxen hair and wearing a white robe to shield the rain was standing in front of Mahiru.

When Mahiru had just answered the call, the person in front of him walked out from a corner and stepped into this deserted alley where only Mahiru was alone.

"Come to see me suddenly, what's the matter?" Mahiru looked at the other party calmly, with his right hand grasping the black shoulder strap of the leather bag upwards.

A few months ago, before coming to this apartment with Miss Bifang, she lived in another place with little freedom.

Members are regularly tested and contained with specific means.

Mahiru's personality was born as a fungus owner and supervisor through trading, and her life is still relatively normal.

Not so with others.

Like, this one right in front of her.

"Come to invite you."

"We escaped during the chaotic period when those people's management had been transferred." The flaxen girl with slightly curly long hair said in the rain, "Are you coming too? Get out of their control."

She stretched out her hand, as if it had just been taken out of the freezer, an extremely pale and thin hand, and with a voice that seemed to have lost her emotions, she extended an invitation to Mahiru.

"Sorry, no." Mahiru wiped the rainwater from his hand and said, "Even if he escapes, he will be captured, just like before."

"Those people don't have time to deal with our affairs now, Abion has now become several organizations." Under the white robe, the girl with long flaxen hair shook her head slightly at Mahiru: "They are using their own methods Trying to keep the world alive, there's not enough manpower to catch me, us."

"So, let's go together, everyone is here."

The showers continued continuously, and the sky was gloomy like the end of the day. The rain hit the two girls in a sloping manner.

For a moment, a lightning flashed across the sky like a tree branch with many creases, casting shadows out of the world.

"No." Mahiru once again repeated his previous words of refusal, and took half a step back.

However, when looking back and preparing to leave.

But he saw another figure blocking his way.

There was a man covered in black, even his eyes, face, neck, and hands were tightly covered by black, as if he was afraid that anyone would see his skin. The strange figure blocked another exit of the alley.

Many parts of this black figure are not human-like, and the head covered in black is more like the shape of a canine animal. The hands have sharp claws that are many times larger than ordinary people. Every breath causes the chest and shoulders to twitch. The movements are also very large, and Mahiru in the middle of the alley looks small with his height of more than two meters.

The black figure looked more like a werewolf than a human.

"We need you." On the other side, the pale girl with long flaxen hair and wearing a rainproof white robe, about 1.5 meters tall, said in an expressionless voice: "We are also trying, in our way, Oh, save the world."

Even though there was a hint of mockery in her words, her tone remained unchanged.

"Your participation is required."

The huge and strange black figure behind him took a step forward together with the girl in white robe in front of him.

"This kind of thing has nothing to do with me. If the fungus owner doesn't have the will, even if I agree, I can't do anything."

The two exits under the rain alley were blocked, but Mahiru didn't show any nervousness, and responded calmly.

"Bring the fungus master, let's talk about it together." The girl with a stiff and pale body covered under a white robe said.

"She has no desire to participate."

"..."

"Do you not cooperate? This time is a truly great event. If you don't want to bring the fungus owner, we will invite her in person."

"Please do what you want." Mahiru grabbed the shoulder straps, and walked straight to the side gap of the girl in the white rain robe under the cold and scattered rain.

After a few steps, the other party did not move or stop him for a moment when they passed by.

Turning at the exit of the alley, under the rain, I saw a lot of vehicles with closed lathes waiting for a red light at an intersection, and there were scattered passers-by under the eaves of the street to hide from the rain. This business-as-usual appearance made Mahiru feel a little more at ease, and looking back, he was relieved that those former cohabitants did not follow.

The shower was still pouring down, and every part of her clothes were completely soaked.

At that time when Miki called, the sky was still covered with overcast clouds, and there were only a few drops of rain when talking and walking, but on the way, he met that person standing in front of him, and Mahiru didn't have the heart to hide from the rain, but the rain quickly became more and more Big, almost a few seconds, is enough to wet a person.

She sighed, since she was already wet, let's go like that.

She was going to find the landlady who was going out, and asked if there was any way she could stop the curse in Mi Ji's spirit, so that her and her emotions would no longer be in common.

From Mahiru's point of view, the phone call just now was just the result of cursing, it can't be called Miki's sincerity, nor are all the previous words.

It's just that I didn't expect to receive a call from Miji halfway and meet that person.

"Stairway to eternity, werewolf disease." Mahiru said to himself.

The Perpetual Ladder, an atypical amnesia that confuses people's memory and feels like they are living in the same day forever. The patient will have a kind of "did I encounter it yesterday" about everything that happened in a day A sense of familiarity and confusion, and forget everything that happened yesterday, and repeat this every day. If you accumulate enough familiarity, you will have a strong illusion that you are cycled on the same day forever, and you will gradually engage in various extreme behaviors to try to break the cycle.

If that's all, this kind of patient should be handed over to a mental hospital instead of being taken into Abion.

But Patient No. [-] of the Eternal Ladder—that is, the girl just now, she was able to absorb the memories of every day that other patients had forgotten, and thus actively spread the disease, so she was noticed and contained by the organization.

Wolf disease is related to werewolf legends, a disease that has been passed down for a long time in history. It has the characteristics and hobbies of wolves, a person with thick limbs and claws, hairy and standing. Just now, that person has the ability to spread this disease. Go to the research section on diseases.

The red-haired girl under the rain shook her head and put these things behind her.

Those people were hard to find, and even harder to get into the apartment they were in, and she didn't need to worry about this so-called threat.

The landlady seems to be in the clinic near the apartment, just keep going.

"Ok?"

Mahiru suddenly caught a glimpse of a purple figure out of the corner of his vision, but when he looked around, there was nothing but emptiness there.

……

530 Nine. Asleep

Getting out of the warm blanket and stepping on dry shoes, Miki stretched out her two arms and took a deep breath.

"Woo..." After squinting her eyes and making such a nasal sound, Miss Mi Ji relaxed her body again and let out a long sigh.
