Hey guys, I like Two-dimensional

"Ahem, Lingyin?"

"...Is there a problem, Chen Ling?"

"Um...there's no swimsuit in the luggage?"

"Huh? I don't know. What's wrong? It's just the two of us. It doesn't matter like this, right?"

"...Okay, as long as you like it.."

"...!?"

The conversation between Chen Ling and Ling Yin could be heard on the bridge, making the male members in the rows excited... nervous.

"S-Commander!"

"Analyst Murasame's daughter... No, the important strategy screen is no longer visible!"

"Repair it with all your strength immediately!"

Kawagoe, Mikimoto, and Nakagawazu shouted together.Although Kannazuki was not very interested in Oppai among the male compatriots, Miku screamed, "Huh!? What's going on!? It broke without even clicking on anything!", as if she was trying to see through the screen. Stay glued to your personal screen.Of course, it doesn't make any sense for her to do this.

"——Mariya?"

Kotori ignores them and calls out to Maria, and then Maria's voice comes from the speaker.

"Yes. Our purpose is to make the elf shy. I think it is wise to eliminate the possibility that Ling Yin may feel unhappy after sealing the spiritual power."

This is Ju Ya's true words. In fact, if Chen Ling didn't turn off the camera in time, Ju Ya would also turn it off.

Now that Chen Ling had turned it off in time, Ju Ya took over the matter. It was not a big deal anyway, and she had planned to kill the camera.

"Your well-placed concerns are really unacceptable."

Attentive AI as always.Kotori had no doubts, and also approved of this approach, and answered with a slight shrug.

"but!"

"Now we can only know the status of the two of them by their voices!"

“There is a risk of misjudgment!”

The male crew held on relentlessly.Then, as if their reaction had been expected by Maria, she answered.

"Please rest assured."

The next moment, the home screen and personal screens other than Kotori lit up again.

At this moment, the expressions of the male members and Miku suddenly became happy, but then... they froze for an instant.

The reason is simple.What is projected on the screen is not the original image, but a humanoid CG portrait replicating the actions of the two people.Furthermore, the figure is definitely clothed.

"This way we can grasp the movements of the two of them. Please continue the strategy."

"......Yes."

The male crew members, whose mood had reached rock bottom, nodded dejectedly.

Kotori chuckled, she also knew that these people were just talking, and they wouldn't dare to watch it if it were really released.

Not to mention that Ling Yin would kill them if he found out, but Chen Ling would not let them go if he found out.

Even though Chen Ling is kind to everyone and a very good person, it doesn't mean that he won't be angry. He also has his own bottom line.By the way, if his woman is not angry even after being looked at, that person is probably hopeless.

It's not like these people don't know this. They don't have the guts to see it. They're just making fun of it.

Kotori didn't point this out. He took the microphone and gave some advice to Chen Ling, who was a little anxious in front of Ling Yin.

"You may be shy sometimes, but don't forget. Lingyin may smile slightly when she sees you like this, but she won't be shy about it."

"......Well!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling finally came to his senses. The beauty of Ling Yin made him stunned for a while, but he came to his senses as soon as Kotori reminded him.

"——Indeed, after all, it's just the two of us."

Chen Ling prepared himself and put the towel on his shoulders resolutely, then took off his swimsuit in one breath.

At this time, a voice seemed to come from the communicator, "Kotori, just CG is not enough, right? I request that the actual footage be made public." However, Chen Ling chose to ignore it.

"Then let's go in."

"......Um."

Chen Ling and Ling Yin nodded gently to each other, and then left the dressing room.The cold winter air, which had been isolated by the glass windows until now, suddenly enveloped the whole body.

After rinsing your body with a bathtub, your whole body will be soaked with hot water as soon as you soak in the bathtub.

"Ah~~~"

"... Phew, it feels good, and the scenery is beautiful too."

"Yes."

While Chen Ling agreed with Ling Yin's opinion, he began to look around at the surrounding scenery - and suddenly his expression changed slightly in the middle of the process.

The reason is simple. Compared with the surrounding scenery, Ling Yin's Oppai floating on the water of the bath is more eye-catching.

Perhaps because of Chen Ling's gaze and reaction, Ling Yin's gaze slowly moved downwards, then raised back to the horizontal line.

"...Ah, I'm sorry. It keeps floating up and I can't control it very well."

"It would be quite powerful if you could control it."

Chen Ling complained subconsciously with emotion.

However, after all, he was not a young man who didn't understand anything. After he calmed down, he calmly soaked in the hot spring with Ling Yin.

Getting back to the subject, the two of them were alone in the open-air bath.At this time, the only sounds that could reach my ears were the sound of water slowly pouring into the bathtub and the rustling of the plants that were covered by the layers.There is only transparent water between the two of them. If you want to shorten the distance between the two, there may not be a more suitable situation than this.Having said that, if the relationship wasn't close enough, we wouldn't have soaked in the hot spring together like this.

"——Speaking of which, Miss Lingyin, when did you start working for <Ratatosk>?"

"...Well, this is it. It was about five or six years ago, around the same time that Kotori became commander."

"That's it. ...How should I put it, thank you very much."

"...What are you thankful for?"

After hearing Chen Ling's words, Ling Yin turned her head in confusion.

"Because you were always by Kotori's side to support her. Kotori, she must have had a hard time at that time."

This is Chen Ling's sincere words without pretense.When Kotori was discovered by <Ratatosk>, it was shortly after she transformed into a spirit.In such a period, the value of having someone by your side that you can rely on is indescribable.

Chen Ling was not there at that time, so Shizhi, as his sister, should say this thank you, but with the current relationship between Chen Ling and Qin Li, it was the same for him to say thank you.

However, after all, it was none other than Mio who turned Kotori into a spirit, so this issue is quite complicated.

Moreover, if the time is like this, then Reine will enter "Ratatosk" after Kotori's spirit transformation. This should be part of the plan.

That guy Woodman established Ratatosk to protect the elves, but in a sense he was also used by Reine.

"...Just trying her best. Even without me, she will definitely become an excellent commander."

"Indeed, I also think Kotori is excellent."

Chen Ling agreed with a smile, but there was a small burst of choking on something from the other side of the communicator, followed by shy sounds such as "What did you say all of a sudden?"

"What were you doing before that?"

"Before that...? Your question is a bit strange."

After hearing Chen Ling's question, Ling Yin stared over with a slight sound of water.

Chen Ling did not escape Ling Yin's gaze and continued.

"——Yes. I want to know more about Miss Lingyin. Thinking about it carefully, I actually know nothing about you."

"..."

After hearing Chen Ling's answer, Ling Yin was silent for a few seconds, and then breathed out.

"...There's nothing worth mentioning about my past, right?"

"It's okay. Even so, I want to understand."

Chen Ling nodded vigorously as he spoke, so Ling Yin lowered his eyes and spoke.

"Before that, I was just an ordinary student. There was nothing to write home about - but one day, I received a contact from Ratatosk. It seemed that it was because of the article I wrote about space earthquakes. The paper is very popular with the top management of Ratatosk."

"No, I think this is already very unusual... By student, do you mean when you were in college? Could it be in high school? After all, Miss Lingyin, what are you doing now..."

"Asking a woman's age is very unwise."

Lingyin put her index finger to her mouth.Once people say this, there is no way to ask further questions.Chen Ling smiled bitterly and shrugged.

However, since they are all elves, their actual age has no meaning. Chen Ling knows this.

As for the past events of Ling Yin mentioned just now, they are not all lies. This Chen Ling can also understand.

Lingyin is a very alert elf.Before entering Ratatosk, I would still fabricate my own experience.In order to withstand the rigorous investigation, she must have specially prepared her household registration and actually spent her student life.

All this is to meet Shizhi again as a stranger, and his sudden appearance after being unblocked disrupted her plan to some extent.But again, it didn't seem like it completely disrupted the plan, it just surprised Ling Yin.

In short, in order to awaken Zhenzhi, she continued her plan and asked Chen Ling or Shizhi to seal the power of the elves together, and finally transferred them all to Shizhi, trying to awaken the other person's memory of being Zhenzhi.

——For these, she created a new life as "Murasame Reine".

Although, in Chen Ling's view, Shizhi today and Zhenzhi in the past are actually the same person. After all, Shizhi is almost the same as Zhenzhi in all aspects. The difference is that after all, she is not Zhenzhi herself, but Lingyin absorbs Zhenzhi. It's just a new life form born after weaving.

Chapter 628 Will you leave this world sooner or later?

"I want to know more about Miss Lingyin - your past. Can you tell me about it?"

"There's nothing wrong with that."

Chen Ling asked with his usual smile. Although Ling Yin looked a little confused when he saw this, he still spoke up.

Farewell to his parents when he was young.The few memories I have with good friends.When I was a student, I was affiliated with the Science Department.My face was always pale due to lack of sleep, and I was once nicknamed a vampire or something like that——

Although there are some jokes and exaggerations, these are purely the history of her as a human being and not as "Mio Takamiya".

In order to create the identity of 'Murasame Reine', she omitted her infancy, appeared directly from childhood, and used certain methods to make herself the daughter of a pair of ordinary parents, and the former had just died due to a space shock.The above are not the experiences of ordinary people, but other than that, for the rest of the time, Lingyin has lived as an ordinary person until now.

With such an identity, it is no wonder that Woodman did not realize that there was something wrong with Ling Yin. After she published a paper on space earthquakes, she approached her and asked her to join "Ratatosk".

"That's pretty much it. - Sounds boring, right?"

"No...nothing like that. No...thing like that."

Chen Ling shook his head repeatedly.

Yes.There's nothing boring about any of this, not in the slightest.Rather, Chen Ling wanted to talk more about her past.

There is one point that Chen Ling particularly wants to ask about.In what Ling Yin said just now, a very important issue was missed.

"I'll ask one last question...is that okay?"

"Well, do you want to ask?"

Ling Yin urged Chen Ling to continue, so Chen Ling looked into Ling Yin's eyes and asked.

"Miss Lingyin, do you have someone you like?"

"..."

After hearing Chen Ling's question, Ling Yin was speechless for a moment.

Although there was not much change in his expression, Ling Yin's appearance was still a little different from before.

But this hesitation only lasted for a few seconds. Soon she returned to her previous demeanor and continued.

"Unfortunately, I have no connection with love. But——"

Ling Yin slowed down for a moment, then raised his head.

"...There is. There is only one."

"----Well"

Ling Yin's words made Chen Ling hold his breath.

"only one".There is no doubt that the person this sentence refers to is not the person she fell in love with as "Ling Yin" - but Chen Ling.

Of course, that’s what I think in my heart, but what is the real situation?

Chen Ling couldn't help but be curious. Was it Mio's Chen Ling or someone from Ling Yin?
