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

Qi smiled, picked up the girl next to him, and supported her to the wall to let her fall asleep. Then he stood up and looked at the time. It was already noon.

But the target has not been found yet...and not even a single class has been found, alas.

"Eh? That...Kao-san? Raiden-san...? Why are you here?"

The girl who woke up touched her head and felt confused.

"Just passing by..."

The general went over and explained.

"Well...I see...I'll go first then."

The other party waved his hand and left here as if he had never experienced anything.

How amazing…

She sighed inwardly.

……

.........

Just like that... one day passed——

The two returned home from school without any results...

"Huh...what exactly is the so-called 'bandage'?"

She murmured muffledly while lying on the dining table. It was already around eight o'clock in the evening. Both of them had not taken off their school uniforms, and they were still troubled by these things.

During this period, the legs that were tilted up on the chair were slightly lowered, and they changed their posture again. The white silk jade feet were intertwined with each other and pressed against the legs of the chair. Occasionally, they moved the delicate toes in the toes of the socks, and their heads were lying on the table. With her arms and long loose hair hanging down her back, she looked adorable and endearing.

"I don't know, but Ya said it's easy to recognize it once you see it."

Qi, who was beside her, looked at her like this and smiled fondly in his heart. He supported his chin with one hand and said to her like this.

"You said before...Void? Is it the embodiment of the human heart?"

She raised her eyes slightly and looked at the girl next to her who was looking at her like this.

"Well, the human void has various forms and functions. It depends on the owner's fear and psychological plot, which is the embodiment of the soul I mentioned before."

"The...embodiment of the soul."

It's different from her heart space...is it a real entity?

She lowered her eyes and thought about it.

"For example... the Daryl Young I extracted before, her void is a polygonal prism, which can reflect light, and has no rules... It is also the same multi-faceted person, complex, happy, sad, fearful, angry, etc. A series of emotions are as unpredictable as a prism in his heart, and he is a very complex person."

"..."

She listened quietly to the girl's narration, looked at her slender hands, and casually touched her perfectly manicured lavender nails.

"Actually...the more crazy a person is, the more twisted his void is...the more powerful and dangerous he is."

Qi said.

"Then pray...your emptiness..."

that knife...

"...I...so...I am a...monster."

Qi paused for a moment, then smiled at her with relief.

pat...

She thought for a moment and gently held the girl's hand and slowly pressed the other's palm to her chest. Feeling the softness, she subconsciously shrank her hand, but she pressed her back again.

"Mio///...what are you..."

Qi's face suddenly turned red... She could feel the palms of her chest trembling.

"...Can you extract mine?"

She didn't pay attention to this and asked softly.

"...(shakes head)"

After hearing this, Qi slightly reacted with her void power, but it was completely ineffective, and there was no light at all. Only the perfect soft feel in her hand made her feel nostalgic.

"Yeah, it's a pity..."

She exhaled slightly. She still wanted to see what her void looked like?But it’s right to think about it... I am no longer 17 years old.

And Dream Yixin is actually her 'void' in another sense, right?Or is it the 'void' common to their Raiden family?Or is her Hollow her mother Raiden Makoto?

But when I came back to my senses, I felt that my posture at this moment was a little awkward. I looked at the hand holding Qi's and touching my chest, and I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Ahem~Sorry..."

She coughed slightly to relieve the embarrassment and put down the other person's hand.

"No, it's fine."

Qi blushed and retracted her hand, then secretly rubbed her fingertips, as if to savor the softness.

"Do you want to continue tomorrow?"

She then got up and walked to the kitchen to wash the dishes that had not been washed a few days ago... During this period, she was wearing an apron and turned her back to Qi and asked this question.

"Well...it doesn't matter. If Mio finds it troublesome, I can do it alone."

Qi looked at the back of the kitchen and answered like this.

"How can I let you come alone?"

The general who was washing the dishes smiled casually and did not look back.

"..."

Qi didn't answer, looking down at the polished dining table in front of her, thinking about her plans for tomorrow.

beep!

Just then the doorbell rang, and the sound attracted their attention.

"Are you driving?"

she asked.

"……(nod)"

Qi stood up and walked to the entrance. He first glanced at the display screen next to him and found that it was a festival...

"...It's a sacrifice."

She turned to the general in the kitchen and informed.

Kacha~

Then the door was opened, exposing the girl to the sight of the two.

"Sacrifice?"

"Ah...um...can I go in?"

Matsuri smiled awkwardly when he saw Qihou, and then asked cautiously.

"...Please come in."

Seeing her look like this, Qi tilted his head slightly in confusion, but still turned sideways to let the girl into the house. He subconsciously looked for the general, and found that he was finishing washing in the kitchen, and felt a little relieved.

"Sacrifice?"

After washing, the general turned to look at the girl and asked out of habit.

"Uh...huh..."

The girl was obviously a little nervous and had always been a little restrained. She had been in this house many times, but today's unusual appearance made her a little concerned.

I dried my hands, took off my apron, walked into the living room, sat at the low table next to the girl, and looked at each other.

"...What's wrong? Are you so nervous?"

After sitting down, he approached the person next to him and asked softly subconsciously. In the meantime, he took off his school uniform jacket, revealing his slender body wrapped in a seductive white shirt. Qi also sat next to him. Look at her.

"Well...there's something I've always wanted to say...but...I didn't dare."

Seeing this cautious opening, Matsuri held his hands together as if they were trembling.

"Well... tell me, why don't you dare?"

She gently stroked the back of the girl's hand with her palm soothingly.

"actually--"

After a few minutes-

Matsuri told the two girls around him about his previous experiences, but their faces were pale and they were always a little nervous. Fortunately, the general kept holding her hand so she had the courage to continue talking.

"——That's it...I'm sorry!"

After Matsuri finished speaking, he apologized again.

"..."×2

The two of them were silent for a long time, then looked at each other and then at the girl in the middle.

"Um...I'm sorry..."

Matsuri seemed to feel the gazes of the two people, and he lowered his head like a kitten and apologized softly again.

"Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault."

She smiled helplessly and lightly poked the girl's forehead.

"But... I saw... that scene... Xiao Mio's..."

Matsuri shook his head.

"Hmm... so?"

She tilted her head with a slight smile.
