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

"thrush…"

He called someone.

"Checking~!"

A lively girl's voice came from the intercom. The girl in a certain room was clicking quickly on the virtual screens floating around her, and the information on it flashed across her eyes at a high frequency.

"The results of it?"

Ya urged.

"Don't be impatient yet..."

Thrush complained, then saw something and clicked in, but what caught his eyes was the message of mechanical failure.

"Tell me you've found it."

He said.

"'Found it~!' - Although I really want to say this, it still doesn't work... All the communication equipment is short-circuited. It must be due to water immersion. Xiaoqi may still be soaked in the water now."

The thrush shook his head regretfully.

"Is it…"

wow~

Ayase joined their troops in the next second.

"Ya...I——"

The girl in the wheelchair just wanted to apologize...

"It's not your fault, it's my fault... I didn't think of the possibility of this outcome."

He decisively interrupted the other party's words.

"..."

Ayase said nothing.

"Hey... something like this happened! What the hell is Qi doing..."

One of their members, Argo, scratched his head impatiently.

"You shouldn't blame Xiaoqi for this kind of thing, right?! The hardest part of this mission is Xiaoqi, don't make sarcastic comments there, you idiot~!"

The thrush came out of the computer room, looked at the yellow thorn in front of him with contempt, and cursed mercilessly,

"Uh...you guy-"

"Now is not the time for internal strife! And what the thrush said is right, Argo, it's time to curb your temper!"

The strong man on one side, a man named Dayun, scolded the two of them.

"Tsk..."

The other party turned away unhappy.

"Ya...what to do next?"

Si Quan, who was a military advisor on the side, was rarely able to make up his mind at this moment. He pushed up his glasses, and there was doubt in his calm voice.

"Huh... It's useless to stay here now. Let's retreat first... The only thing we can do now is to wait for Qi to take the initiative to contact us."

After Ya finished speaking, he turned and left.

"...You mean to pray for return-"

"Well...that guy won't die that easily, otherwise I wouldn't let her carry out this mission."

He turned sideways and showed a confident smile to everyone, which reassured a few people.

"..."×N

Everyone looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then nodded and believed his words. In this way, the people of the funeral society set off under the cover of night and evacuated to the temporary safe house in Roppongi.

……

.........

After the funeral home was evacuated, at the coastal edge of Tokyo Bay, a figure slowly poked its head out of the sea, climbed out of the sea under the moonlight, and climbed to the seawall.

"Huh...huh..."

Qi paralyzed on the ground and kept breathing heavily. The void effect on his body gradually disappeared. At that moment, his body felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. He glanced at the robot in his arms and saw that the medicine inside was still intact. He breathed a sigh of relief and then I looked at the wound on my arm. It was burning with pain from the sea water. There was no tendency to stop the bleeding. It was still dripping down to the ground. It seemed like there was a tendency of infection.

Gently cover it with your palms,

"Hmm~!"

The pain made her groan again, her face turned pale with pain, and her whole body was soaked. Her cherry-colored bangs stuck to her forehead and face, which was very unbearable, but even so, she still couldn't hide her exquisite beauty. The haggard look on his face seemed to be the icing on the cake.

"...Mio..."

She murmured the name in her heart, then pursed her lips and stood up again. Holding the robot in her arms, she walked staggeringly toward the drainage ditch below the street. After all, walking here was more secluded and could slightly slow down the pursuit of soldiers. She was now There was nothing in my body that could contact the funeral home, so I had no choice but to go back.

Guilty Crown ~ I am a stranger in a foreign land, my heart is with my fellow countrymen: Chapter 3 What should I do if my roommate often comes home late?

How long have you been in this world?

About...a year?

It may have been less than an hour in Teyvat, or less, but at this time it had been a full year, and of course this year was also the time she spent completely.

When I first arrived, I was faced with this... Should it be called 'advanced'?Or does it have characteristics?Probably all... In such a world, in such a city, she is still a little overwhelmed, and even a little helpless. She doesn't know if the other party would feel this way if she were replaced by a shadow. Regardless... herself It did.

This world... is very big, boundless, just like Teyvat, with various countries and different races. It is very strange, and even more exaggerated than what she has faced before.

She really had the thought... 'It turns out that traveling to another world is such a wonderful thing', and she was more excited than before, or maybe... curious and anxious about the unknown... or even vigilant.

She knew that she was very immature, like a child, and completely incomparable to her mother, but she didn't care, maybe this was the real her.

Sitting alone by the floor-to-ceiling window, hugging her knees, she was looking out at the urban streets smeared by the desolate moonlight in trance. There was a trace of trance in her eyes, and she slowly pressed her forehead against the window, feeling The cool touch of glass calmed her mind a little.

"..."

She came back to her senses and looked up at the clock on the wall. It meant around two o'clock in the middle of the night... The street was already silent, and there was almost no light in the windows of the apartments. Everyone was asleep, right?

Is she the only one like this?

"...It's so late to come back."

Staring at the clock that kept ticking, she couldn't help but murmur.

Is Qi’s work... so time-consuming?

Huhu~

She hugged her knees tightly again and curled herself up by the window, looking at the moonlight outside. At this time, she was only wearing a thin layer of home clothes, long-sleeved lavender pajamas and pajamas on her lower body, which were soft and soft. Her long purple hair was not fixed in any way, it was simply let down, with a rich sense of gentle beauty.

"sleepy…"

She felt that her sleep function was starting to take effect again, but she didn't want to sleep alone. She had nightmares every time she slept alone, and had nightmares about how she had been when she was in the Pure Land, hurting the people around her and causing She was heartbroken, so now she no longer dared to sleep alone.

Ina's wife's national isolation order was also lifted by Kage after that, so now her mother is busy with her affairs and has no time to accompany her at all. Yes, she is alone this time, and she came into this world alone, no... It may be a little inaccurate to say that it is a person, but there should be a real mother who will not appear in the space in her heart.

To be honest...she felt a little lonely in her heart, but she did not choose to go back, but continued to stay here because she met someone a year ago, the pink-haired girl who let her live here.

I pray…

She was a little confused at first, why would such a young girl let a stranger live in her home so easily?Now she understands that maybe... the other person is as lonely physically and mentally as she is.

During this year, she and Qi got along very harmoniously. She was the kind of woman who had no expression on a daily basis and would not show her inner emotions. She was somewhat similar to her before, but she was much softer than she was then. It was a little natural, maybe at first, but as they became more familiar with each other, Qiye showed her first smile at that time. After that, the other person's expression changed, and he smiled at her. There have been many times, and the expressions have changed a lot, and the tone has also taken on a warm emotion. The voice is like the sound of nature, gentle and sweet, like broken snow.

Occasionally I sing...

She raised her eyes and looked at the moonlight in the distance, thinking like this. After all, the people around her were always so unique. .

But no matter what, she understood...this cohabitation life represented mutual trust and perhaps companionship.

To herself, this is a strange world, but to the girl Yuqi, perhaps this is also a 'strange' world.

On the other side, in the alley outside this apartment building...a figure gradually appeared from the corner.

"Huh...huh..."

Qi was leaning against the wall and panting extremely weakly. There was a large amount of blood on her arm, and there was a stream. Her face was pale, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. She knew that she had lost too much blood.

I looked around at the aisles, but there was no one there, so I walked unsteadily across the street again and came to the stairs of the apartment. When I was about to go up, I suddenly thought of something and stopped.

"..."

He glanced at his arm that was still bleeding, and then with a 'crash' sound he tore off some of the fabric of his dress and wrapped it tightly around the wound, so as to temporarily stop the bleeding and prevent blood from falling on the stairs, and then Then she walked up the stairs again and leaned staggeringly against the door of her home. At this moment, the lights in front of the door had been extinguished, and she was surrounded by only the deep darkness and the shadow of the moonlight blocked by the eaves.

She slowly put her palm into her pocket, took out the door card, propped up her body and pressed the card surface to the unlocking area.

Di-

Click!

The light on the door lock turned green and the door opened automatically.

"call…"

She quickly took a breath, picked up the robot in her arms again, stood up against the wall, and pretended to be normal before entering.

The general in the room subconsciously turned his head when he heard the sound of the door opening and looked at the entrance hall directly opposite his floor-to-ceiling window. A familiar figure entered the entrance hall and closed the door. He seemed to be holding something and stepping slowly step by step. The floor walked into the living room, and judging from the other party's actions, he didn't even change his shoes.

"...Qi? Is that you?"

She loosened her knees, slowly stepped on the floor with her delicate white bare feet, and approached the other party.

"..."

She saw the other party staggering towards her in the darkness. She felt more and more something was wrong and quickened her pace.

"Qi? What's wrong with you?"

she asked in a serious tone.

"...Mio..."

After Qi looked at the gradually blurry figure walking towards her, she subconsciously showed a smile that was extremely weak in the moonlight. Then with a 'snap', the robot in her hand fell directly to the ground, and her legs went weak. , lying directly on the general's body and fell down.

"!"

When the general saw this, he quickly caught the opponent with quick eyes and hands, and he fell backwards. Fortunately, her hands supported the ground in time, allowing her to sit on the floor, holding the person who was already cold in her arms.
