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

"It's just... some insights."

She looked at Qi below and smiled.

"...No matter what, I will stand by Mio's side."

Qi put his hands on her thighs and rubbed the velvet fabric on them.

"You... don't need to do this. What if I am wrong?"

she asked.

She asked, raising her hand and poking the back of the other person's hand that was rubbing her thigh.

"It's ok…"

Qi shook his head.

clatter...

Just then Huayin ran over and gasped.

"Raiden-kun...huh...huh..."

"……?What's wrong?"

She looked at the girl and asked puzzledly, then let her body slide down and stood on the ground again.

"Um...thank you, Raiden-san, for thinking of me just now..."

Hanayin pushed up her glasses and blushed a little.

"It's nothing. You are quite tired and you have dark circles under your eyes."

She shook her head.

"Hmm... Well, I also know that everyone is tired. Who wouldn't be tired at this time? Raiden-san may be more tired than us, so... it doesn't matter... I will try my best at the cultural festival or something."

Kanon clenched her hands into fists on her chest and said firmly to her.

She wasn't actually tired...but even though the other party said so, she still didn't ruin the atmosphere.

"Yeah, if you think it doesn't matter, then do it."

She sighed.

"Hmm~! And... about the sacrifice, that child is kind-hearted and has recently taken on the position of medical staff, so she knows the students' situation better than we do, so... please don't hate her, that child is following Raiden-san is really a lot more cheerful around you than before, please."

Huayin bowed to her and ran away quickly with a blush before she finished speaking.

"Everyone... is a gentle person."

Qi looked at Huayin's leaving figure and murmured.

"For the cultural festival...why don't you come up and sing a song?"

The general turned around and lay on the armrest again and glanced at the girl next to him.

"Me? Do you want to hear it, Mio?"

Qi asked.

"...Then...do you want me to listen?"

"…In no mood."

Qi Nin replied with a smile.

"Who wants to hear it?"

Seeing this, she narrowed her eyes, puffed her face slightly and looked away cutely.

"Just kidding...I sing, I sing."

Finally, Qi could no longer hold back and gently hugged her to coax her.

"I stopped listening."

She spoke awkwardly.

"Don't... you must listen. I will come down from the stage and sing with you."

"Pfft~ Are you a follower?"

She was amused by the other party.

"Ha ha…"

Both smiled.

"..."×2

Everyone fell silent after that. She took the initiative to pick up Qi's palm and touched the back of his hand with the Apocalypse logo printed on it.

"Have your powers evolved?"

she asked.

"Well...it's said that the gene lock is broken."

Yes... I pray that after extracting the void from others, the other party will no longer be unconscious. Instead, they can even use their own void as usual. Matsuri is an example of this, so she can use her own 'bandage' to heal others.

"Where are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, just like usual."

Qi shook his head.

"you…"

She remembered what Shuichiro Jedou had said before, about Qi's life experience, and her expression was a little complicated.

"Don't think too much, Mio...I don't think I am a container. I am Miao Qi, the Miao Qi standing in front of you."

Qi held the beautiful face of the woman who was equal to her and said with a smile.

"Huh...yeah."

When she saw this, she didn't refute anymore because she believed that the other party would not lie to her.

Guilty Crown~We are a stranger in a foreign land, but our heart is with a fellow countryman: Chapter 77: Each other’s nighttime conversation

In this way, everyone began to prepare for tomorrow's cultural festival... The campus is full of busy and lively atmosphere, and various shops have been set up, including the stage for performances and the so-called maid cafe.

Of course, they also include members of the student council. Arisa is patrolling around and occasionally helping out. Kanon, as mentioned before, is distributing the supplies needed for the event, praying for the rehearsal on the stage, and the festival... never showed up.

The day flew by like this, and the time came to about 10 o'clock in the evening——

Even the campus, which had been busy all day, gradually became quiet at this moment, although there were some people preparing for tomorrow's activities. The lights at night were lit up one after another, giving the dim campus a warm and warm tone.

wow...

"I heard that you lost your temper today?"

Ayase, who had not seen him for a day, opened the door of the classroom, entered in a wheelchair, and asked the general in an interesting way, who was sitting on a chair and leaning on the desk with his face in a daze.

"...Who did you hear from?"

She came back to her senses and looked at Ayase who came to her in a wheelchair. He was wearing the same school uniform as her.

"pray."

The other party answered.

"Huh... I guessed it."

She sighed.

"So~? What happened?"

Ayase looked at her with the same eyes as her younger sister, with a smile on her face.

"It's not that exaggerated...it's just a conflict with them."

"Because of the cultural festival?"

"...It's kind of like that."

She responded dully.

"Yes...it is indeed inappropriate to hold a cultural festival at this time, but there is nothing we can do. Everyone is nervous and really need to relax."

Ayase rowed her wheelchair to the window and looked at the night view outside.

"..."

She raised her eyes and looked at the girl in the wheelchair. She didn't know why she wanted to join the funeral society, but she was convinced that she was strong.

"Going to see Yayao?"

"Hmm... It's still the same, there are no signs of waking up."

Ayase nodded.

"Ayase..."

"Ok?"

The other party didn't turn around.

"Do you... like him?"

she asked bluntly.

"...///"

It was obvious that the girl's ears were red, but her face was not visible.

"Huh...it's obvious, right?"

Ayase smiled, turned to the wheelchair and asked with a somewhat rosy face.

"Well...you are always positive about his things."

She nodded.

"...Ya gave me a pair of 'legs' to run fast, jump high, and have free 'legs'. He gave me the meaning of living. I love him, but...I failed to protect him. "

Ayase lowered her head and looked at the palms placed on her legs, her tone became trembling.
