Yae Sakura!Beep!

Looking at Tong with tears in his eyes, looking a little pitiful, Future said in surprise.

"When I was living at Sister Xiaoyuan's house, others thought it was weird because of this..."

She stuck out her little tongue and spoke vaguely.

"So you made your tongue heat intolerant?"

Twitching the corners of his mouth, Future looked at a fool.

"Um……"

Hitomi also felt that this was really a bit stupid, she nodded with a slightly red face.

Putting his index finger into his mouth, he tapped the tip of his tongue, a white light flashed, and the burnt part immediately returned to its original state.

"call……"

She breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the milk and blew it carefully, and drank it slowly.

"If Ilya really decides not to participate in these things, we will help them, if Ilya decides to go..."

As she spoke, she paused suddenly.

"Maybe, we still have to help?"

Thinking of that huge and strong figure, Hitomi became a little uncertain.

"Tsk! What a hassle."

Future put on that iconic impatient expression again, and she glanced at the time.

"If you really want to go, it's almost time, right? If you go late, you may have to prepare three fresh bodies."

Laughing maliciously, Future drank the rest of the milk in one gulp.

"Well, that's right."

Selectively ignoring the second half of Mirai's sentence, Hitomi nodded, and just about to stand up, she sat down again.

"Wait, I promised my sister that no matter what I do, I will tell her first."

As she spoke, she opened the drawer and rummaged through something.

"what?"

Mirai, who thought he was going to go out, froze for a moment.

"You think she'll let you out?"

There is no need to even ask, they all know that Sakura will definitely not let Hitomi run out in the middle of the night.

"I just promised my sister that I wouldn't leave without saying a word..."

Hitomi stuck out her tongue, and took out a post-it note and a pen from the drawer.

"Then if I leave a note for my sister, won't it be considered silent?"

Episode 348 Day 79

"Why...? This will be here with you?"

Illya's eyes widened as she held the job card that she took out from nowhere with a ruby.

She clearly remembered that she had returned all the job cards in her hand to Rin Tohsaka.

"Ah ha ha……"

Ruby laughed twice, looking a little guilty.

"This is..."

Although I had already expected it when I started, but after stealing the card from Tohsaka Rin, Ruby was still a little afraid of being discovered and asked her to settle the score.

"Ahem... Those are not important! The point is, with this, Illya, you don't have to worry about not being able to fight because you can't become a magical girl."

After coughing twice, Ruby changed the subject unnaturally, and said with her hands on her hips.

"is it okay?"

Illya opened her mouth hesitantly.

After all, did she choose to quit because she couldn't transform?

What is she afraid of, pain, injury, death?

Or, the battle itself?

Blinking her eyes, Illya looked up at Ruby.

Since the transformation failed last night, until now, she seems to have never tried again.

Because that's already a pointless attempt.

The point is not whether she can still transform into a magical girl.

In fact, why did I get involved in the first place?

Because compared with ordinary life, it is extra novel and exciting?

Because you regard yourself as the protagonist in the animation?

Because it's a game?

Looking back now, what I said to sister Hitomi that night was nothing more than nice words.

Otherwise, why do you want to escape when you encounter setbacks, and want to give up when you are hurt?

From the very beginning, she didn't fit in that world.

"Actually, it's okay if you don't need me?"

The words echoed by Ruby not long ago were uttered again from Illya's mouth.

"Miyu is so strong, even if I don't go, they can handle it."

She put down the card in her hand and forced a smile.

That's right, even if you're not here, it doesn't matter.

If it was Miyu, on the night of the battle with Rider, the battle would have been over in no time, and there was no need for Hitomi sister to come to the rescue.

When fighting Caster, it was also because of Miyu that the enemy was eliminated.

If when fighting Saber, instead of herself, Miyu was the one to attract the opponent's attention, would the situation be different?

Last night too... Even if she wasn't there, Miyu and the others perfectly completed the collection of the cards.

It's okay if you don't need her.

"But, Illya..."

Like Illya, Ruby always seems very contradictory, approving Illya's giving up at one moment, but persuading her to persevere at the other.

"Aren't you companions?"

The silver-haired girl froze.

"Illya, did you say that?"

The ruby ​​fell on the table, and picked up the employment card that Illya had put aside casually.

"You said, 'Letting Miyu fight alone, it's too lonely...'"

"So I have to work harder to make it..."

Subconsciously, Illya took up what Ruby hadn't finished speaking.

She bit her lower lip.

Elijah actually forgot.

What she said to Meiyou before.

Admittedly, I only joined for fun at first.

But she didn't choose to continue fighting because it was interesting.

Because she saw it, saw the danger of fighting, and saw Miyu's loneliness.

Seeing what Meiyu alone can do.

Because she understood how naive her thoughts were when facing RIder, she lobbied to Mi Lo to be her companion.

Because when facing Caster, she understood that one person can never defeat the enemy, so she and Miyu didn't want to hold each other back.

Because she knew how dangerous it would be to be a bait when facing Saber, so she volunteered to be the one who attracted attention.

Whether she gives up has nothing to do with whether she can still become a magical girl.

Whether she persists has nothing to do with whether she needs to use cards to fight.

If you are afraid of fighting because of your injuries.

Then why does she think that Miyu will not feel lonely and afraid because she has to fight alone?

"ruby……"

Suddenly, Illya opened her mouth.

She stood up and opened the wardrobe.

"Where are they now?"

…………

"Hitomi, in the future, I cut some fruit, do you want to eat?"

After washing her hands, Sakura tightened the faucet and dried her fingers with a rag. She picked up a plate of apples and shouted towards the room.

"..."

No one responded for a long time.

Didn't you hear it?

"Hitomi?"

Tilting her head, Sakura put the dish on the tea table, picked up the remote control and turned down the volume of the TV, and then yelled again.

"..."

Still no one responded.

"future?"

Although the child doesn't know how intimate with her, there is still a normal way to get along with her.

"..."

So it was very strange that no one responded at this time.

Sakura frowned, she remembered what happened the previous night.

Walk slowly to the door of Hitomi's room.

"Knock, squeak..."

After knocking once, the wooden door creaked open.

It turned out that the door was not closed tightly at all, as if it was intentional, it was only half closed, and the deadbolt was pushed against the edge of the groove at an angle that was so coincidental that it did not seem to be a coincidence at all. It cannot be opened from the outside, and the door will not be pushed open due to the rebound of the deadbolt.

Because of this, Sakura, who didn't look carefully, thought the door was always closed.

As the door slowly opened, the scene inside fell into Sakura's eyes.

"..."

She twitched the corner of her mouth and fell silent.

At this moment, a note slowly fell from the crack on the top of the door.

"Sister, Mirai and I went to play with Miyu and the others, we may come back later, you go to bed first, don't wait for us~"

After reading the words on the note several times back and forth, it was indeed Hitomi's handwriting.
