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

"Pfft..."×2

The two looked at each other and smiled.

In this way, with the warm lights and TV programs in the living room as their backgrounds, the three of them gathered together and had a warm dinner together as usual.

Guilty Crown ~ A stranger in a foreign land, but a fellow countryman at heart: Chapter 31 The coffee is a little cold

"Ah~"

After taking a bite of the stew, the general narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.

"call……"

Then he exhaled.

"How is it? Delicious?"

Matsuri, who was sitting next to her, looked at her profile and asked with concern.

"Hmm...it's very delicious, as good as what I make."

She smiled and praised the girl next to her.

"Um...yeah, really? That's good...///"

Matsuri blushed upon hearing this, smiled sweetly at her, and then took another bite of the dishes cooked by the people around him.

"Hmm~! Xiao Mio is still so good at cooking."

She agreed with the compliment as if to return the compliment.

She knew that the beauty next to her cooked delicious food, after all, she had eaten it many times, but today was her first time cooking for her, and she was a little nervous, but fortunately she liked it.

"If you were any more modest, I would eat all these dishes."

Qi on the other side took a bite of the rice ball and gave a muffled reminder while chewing.

"Wait - Xiaoqi... don't talk when you are chewing something~?"

Matsuri looked at the girl on the general's left like a mother and gave instructions.

"Cunning~ It's obvious that you all have spoken."

Qi puffed up his face in dissatisfaction.

"I, we all swallowed it~!"

Ji Xinti retorted tiredly.

The dishes on the low table are very rich, and the fragrant heat from each other floats in the room. Under the warm light of the living room, it seems more and more warm at this moment.

About half an hour later, the table was almost full, but several people still had no intention of ending. Sometimes the aftertaste after a meal is also the highlight of the dinner.

"Sizzle~"

He took a sip of the sweet drink from the cup and let the liquid flow into his throat. He closed his eyes and felt the comfort after the meal.

Qi on one side had already leaned back on the pillow, holding the pillow in his hand and watching TV programs leisurely and comfortably, while Matsuri was leaning on the table, stirring the coffee in the cup, and was staring at the people around him in a daze. Her perfect profile, hair, eyelashes, lips and cheeks were all deeply imprinted in her heart.

"..."

The general also felt the gazes of the people around her, but she didn't pay attention. She still sat on the carpet with her knees bent, holding a cup and drinking water.

"Xiao Mio..."

"……Um?"

Finally, when the person next to her called her, she turned around as if she had expected it.

"...Xiao Mio...you said before that you never went to school?"

Matsuri looked at her with a slightly raised face and asked intentionally.

"good."

She nodded.

"...Why? Is...that...condition not allowed?"

Ji looked at her with concern, his voice was as tender as water.

"That's right..."

After hearing this, the general nodded slowly, put down the water glass, casually leaned back on the pillow like Qi, raised his hand to loosen the braid on the back of his head, let the long and smooth hair spread, and pulled out the hair rope. It was simply put on her wrist, and the beautiful white legs under the skirt were also close to each other, and they were intertwined comfortably and stretched into the warm gap under the low table.

"..."

Seeing this, Matsuri also fell down next to her and turned slightly sideways, leaning on one arm to look at her up close. Qi on the other side had already fallen asleep holding a pillow.

"...There is no so-called school in my hometown, and no one has ever gone to school."

She looked at the girl lying next to her and said softly.

"Xiao Mio...you don't have us there--"

"Well... our place is very simple, there are basically no electronic devices for daily use."

She shook her head.

Of course...if elemental power can also replace electronic equipment.

"Really...Xiao Mio must have had a hard time before..."

Matsuri may have had some misunderstandings, his eyes were filled with distress for her, and he gently held her hand, saying this with a trembling voice.

"It's not... hard..."

Why do we say suffering?

She was puzzled.

"I grew up with nothing and worked hard in an extremely poor economic environment...to become the sensible little Mio I am today. Thank you for your hard work, Mio."

There was a hint of redness in Matsuri's eyes, and the next second he held her whole body in his arms as if he was about to cry, patting her back like a child.

"It doesn't matter, Mio...it's all over. I won't let you suffer anymore."

"Although...you may have misunderstood something, but...I am still...very happy to hear that you think about me so much."

She didn't push the other person away. She knew how to deal with it at this time. All she could do was thank her, even if she was misunderstood.

She felt that the girl in front of her was particularly emotional, which also showed that the other person's heart was filled with the purest kindness and the gentleness that could tolerate everything, wrapping her up like a warm ocean.

She felt that if the other person resonated with the Eye of God, it must be the water element, the gentle water element.

beep!

At this moment, someone's terminal rang. Although she was also issued a so-called terminal, she never used it. She subconsciously flipped through her own terminal, but she didn't find it before. , Qi, who had fallen asleep on the other side, instantly opened his eyes, took out the terminal from his school uniform pocket, folded it with one hand and opened the display.

"Eh?"

After seeing this, Matsuri trembled at the corner of her mouth, and then put away her terminal in embarrassment. Next time, she might as well change the message reminder. She found that her ringtone was incompatible with Qi's.

"...?"

The general glanced at the embarrassed Ji and then at the increasingly serious Qi. During this period, he also understood something. It should be a notice from the funeral home, right?

"It's them?"

she asked.

"Well... Ya came to inform me, let's go, Mio."

Qi stood up directly and greeted her.

"……Oh."

She nodded... her face was full of reluctance to move, but she still stood up.

"Um...what happened?"

During the festival, he looked at them with confused faces as they stood up and left.

"Msari, let's go out and be back soon."

After Qi finished speaking, she opened the door and walked out. She wanted to go home and change into casual clothes. It would be too conspicuous to go out in school uniform.

"Eh? So late?"

Matsuri also stood up and followed.

"Nothing... we will be back soon, no need to worry."

The general also put on his shoes again at the entrance, turned to comfort the worried girl.

"...Is it something important?"

Matsuri asked.

"Well, maybe..."

She nodded. She didn't know what the devil was doing so late at night, but it couldn't be okay. After all, the other party wasn't that free, and they weren't that good-tempered either.

"……Can you tell me?"

Ji Ming knew that the two of them obviously wanted to keep it a secret when they told her this, but she still asked cautiously out of worry.

"... sacrifice."

"...?"

She raised her eyes and looked at the purple-haired woman in front of her.

"We...will be fine."

The other party said softly again.

"...Okay, be careful on the road."

She understood that the other party would not say anything, and it was already the limit. She understood that she would not stalk him, but just showed a complicated smile.

click...

After the door closes...

"call…"
