As a general, she cannot be a good daughter of Kage.

"Touch me before your hands are dry..."

pat...

She also reached out and gently patted the other person's wet back, teasing him softly.

"!"

Xinhai came back to his senses and gently moved his hands away from her. He saw that the black silk gloves that the other party had at his mercy now had a few deep traces of moisture, which formed a sharp contrast with her fair skin.

pat~

However, she touched it again, as if knowingly and deliberately, and gently kneaded it with a hint of stubbornness, making the back of the other person's hand further wet.

"What happened to you?"

She didn't care about the other party's little moves, and finally asked the question in her heart, why was she suddenly so weak?

"...?"

Xinhai didn't react for a moment and raised his eyes blankly to look at her.

"Huh, let me talk about your body. Why did you faint suddenly?"

She sighed and asked patiently again.

"Well...it's okay, I'm just 'out of state'."

Xinhai also understood her worries, so he shook his head slightly to comfort her. It was obvious that she was the one who needed comfort, but she didn't show it.

"Not in... state?"

The general was taken aback.

…what?

"Um……"

Xinhai nodded obediently, but still didn't take off the delicate hand caressing the back of her hand.

"You usually faint like today when you're not in your best state? Isn't this a disease?"

She asked differently and somewhat puzzled.

This is a disease, why not focus on treatment?How is it okay to joke about your body?

——She was very puzzled. Not only that, she felt that everything about the people in front of her was so strange that she couldn't figure it out.

"No...it's just that today's situation is more...serious. Well...my 'energy'...is temporarily used up."

Xinhai hesitated a little when he said the next part, but finally told the truth, but the breath he spoke was a little weak, and it seemed that he had not recovered yet.

"…what?"

She was stunned for a moment and didn't understand the 'vocabulary' the other party said.

"energy…"

Xinhai repeated.

"Can——, you are also a doll?!"

She was really surprised and asked, since it is said to be energy, doesn't it mean that the other party needs to recharge on time, isn't it a robot?The other party is not human? !Like her?Although she doesn't need to recharge.

"Human...Puppet? Uh, no...it's just a metaphor. Although I'm a little ashamed, I can't maintain that kind of high-intensity mental state all the time...Huh...because it's really...very tiring..."

Xinhai was confused for a moment, and then he formally explained her problem for fear of her misunderstanding. Finally, she weakly leaned on her arms again and spoke in a weak tone.

"I understand, that means you are overwhelmed by the heavy workload. I guessed this possibility from the way you looked tired from time to time."

She answered clearly, including the way the other person covered his forehead before, right?

Was it just a metaphor?

Phew...scared her.

"Huh... It seems that I haven't mastered the skills of covering up yet. I have to... continue to practice."

My heart began to feel lost, and coupled with my very tired spirit at the moment, my thoughts became a little negative.

"Idiot~"

The general heard this and scolded the other party softly with some complaints.

"General, do you really still hate me? Huh..."

After hearing this "idiot", the negative heart sea became even more frustrated and pursed her lips and said sadly.

Pooh~

The next second she used a little strength to pinch the back of the other person's hand that was touching her.

"Ugh...it hurts~!"

Xinhai narrowed his eyes in pain and said weakly, even so, he didn't even think about hiding, maybe he didn't have the energy to hide.

"I'm saying you're acting like a 'sucker.'"

The general told her bluntly.

"practice?"

Xinhai looked at her in confusion.

"Why do you have to push yourself so hard? Why do you need so-called 'exercise'? Isn't it good to take good care of your body?"

she asked puzzled.

"Because I am... a goddess and a shrine maiden."

Xinhai replied quietly.

"Then I'm still General Thunder!"

she countered.

"It's different from you. Besides, my body is very weak. Although I can't call it a mortal body, it's still not good enough."

"Then you should take better care of your body? You know that your body is not good enough, but you still force yourself?"

She raised her voice.

"...Because I am the living goddess miko, and I am the sole leader of Kaiji Island. I don't want them to see me weak."

Xinhai replied.

"Don't take your position so seriously. Sometimes this kind of thing will just become a burden to you."

Even if she was a doll, Ying would let her rest at night and specially turn on the sleep function, not to mention the human goddess miko in front of her who was already in poor health.

"..."

Xinhai was silent this time.

"You don't want your people to disappoint you. Do you think I don't understand? But you have to be careful about everything, right? What can you get after exhausting your body? The praise of the people? Or self-satisfaction? No, you You get nothing, only the price of ruining your body, and the unfinished tasks piled aside!"

pat~

She grabbed the opponent's hand and turned her attack.

"..."

Xinhai felt the touch of her palm being held by the other party and slowly raised his eyes to look at her. Two pairs of eyes of different colors but equally beautiful looked at each other. At this moment, the pupils reflected each other and only each other.

After a few seconds, Xinhai withdrew his hand and put the feather coat he had taken off back on.

Then he put his hands slightly on the edge, let his body emerge from the water, and sat directly on the stone platform with his back to her.

"Actually, I'm not very good at being a superior person."

Xinhai lowered his eyes softly and looked at his thigh hanging on the edge, his fingers subconsciously caressing the white silk surface that was soaked in water and showing tender skin, his mouth seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually talking to People behind you listen.

"..."

The general looked at the back of her sitting there and then looked away...turned back and looked at the scenery of Haizhi Island in front of him that had entered dusk.

"...I can see it."

She took advantage of the golden light at this moment and continued without any comfort.

"Ha ha…"

However, Xinhai didn't feel anything bad. After hearing her answer, he just chuckled like water, and his expression became a little doting.

"To tell you the truth, from the earliest days...my dream was to study military science and become a staff officer."

wow~

The buttocks retreated slightly, and the pair of white silk legs soaked in the clear water were lifted out of the water. The heels were lightly pressed against the stone platform while the buttocks were moved back.

"Talk to others, take care of other people's emotions, observe people's emotions, distribute benefits..."

As he spoke, he put his back gently against the back of the person behind him, leaning back to back with her.

"...These are very troublesome things in my opinion."

The legs are bent, the wet soles wrapped with the toes of socks are also crossed front and back, and the back is gently exerted on the back of the person behind him as if on purpose.

"..."

After feeling the pressure on her back, the general cooperated with the other party and gently bent her waist downward a little, so that the other party's upper body lay on her back.

Xinhai felt this gentle little detail of the person behind him and showed a gentle smile.

"To make others feel like a spring breeze, but also to make them feel in awe... Phew..."

Xinhai sighed very tiredly.

"...This is not an area that I am good at. Rather...this is an area that I never wanted to get involved in."

He straightened up and hugged the knees in front of him tightly, letting his cheek rest on his knees. His eyes were full of regret, sadness and longing, and his voice was so fragile from beginning to end.

"..."

The general did not answer the conversation during the process, but listened quietly to her self-narration. However, the upper body that was leaning forward slightly returned to its original angle and was close to Xinhai's back, probably to provide support to the other party.

"But... because of my bloodline, the position of the 'Emerald God Miko' will eventually be passed on to me. My mother once said this to me when I was a child, 'Sooner or later, the fate of Kaiji Island will be handed over to me.' I don't have it." Choice...being raised since childhood, whether you like it or not, this is...huh...this is something you can't help."
