The heroines want to talk

"What did you do yesterday? I saw you were quite active at school." Xia Shi expressed his concern.

"Last night?" Aikawa's expression became distorted as he spoke, "I played the game you recommended to me last time yesterday!"

Xia Shi blinked.

"what?"

"Then I was dumped twice by that orange-haired heroine." Ayumu Aikawa said with dark circles under his eyes.

"Hino Hoshizou?" Xia Shi asked back.

Fortunately, he didn't push this line at that time.

"Although she plays in a band and runs away, I believe she is a good girl."

"Heh." Aikawa stopped talking and lay silently on the table.

After he finished playing the game last night, he became angrier and angrier and could not sleep the entire night. He was bullied by bad women every day and was even used as material for truth or dare in the aftermath of the cultural festival. Even when he was playing a game, he was abandoned by the heroine twice.

Aikawa felt like the whole world was against him.

……

After school, Xia Shi showed up at the Service Club.

The two talked for a long time about whether the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl could realize their wishes. This topic was brought up by Xia Shi because he was so boring.

Regardless of the process of the discussion, the conclusions were surprisingly consistent.

"If the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl had magical powers that could fulfill people's wishes, they would not be stopped by the Milky Way."

It is better to ask the Queen Mother for help than to ask them.

But having said that, when the time comes to hang up the poem paper, Natsumi will definitely write it, and Eriri should be very interested in this kind of thing.

……

At night, the lights are on.

Xia Shi was admiring the parade floats on the street.

Surrounding them were men and women who were walking together.

This is a commercial street, and every year at this time, they hold the Tanabata Festival. Although Xia Shi thinks that these are just tricks that the merchants on the street use to make money, they are still very thoughtful. They even prepared a snack street in the nearby park. There are also fireworks at 8 o'clock in the evening.

Outside the shops on the street, every household has placed a pot of bamboo, which is shrub-like and looks very short. Every branch is hung with poems and some purses, as if to pray for better wealth.

"Xiaozhi~ why are you so clingy today~ I'm almost shy." A couple passed by.

"Aliang~hate~" One of the girls shyly slapped the boy.

Xia Shi looked at the stupid couple and found that they seemed to be students of Feng Zhiqi. The island country is so small, it is normal to meet them.

However... this couple seems to be the same couple I met last time when I did a wall-bang on Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Tsk, it’s better not to think about that bad woman.

Now I should think more about how cute Eriri is.

"What are you thinking about, you idiot? So serious?" A voice came from behind.

"I'm thinking about you." Xia Shi turned around and saw Ying Lili smiling, and he couldn't say the rest of the sweet words.

She still had her usual twin ponytails, with a lily hair accessory pinned on the right ponytail. She was wearing a green and white yukata with waves and flowers printed on it, and a lavender belt around her slender waist. Her breasts, which were not very noticeable in the past, had become fuller and plumper.

Xia Shi felt the same sense of amazement as when he saw her for the first time.

When Ying Lili saw his expression, she was very happy and she slowly extended her right hand.

"Let's go~ Tanabata has just begun."

Chapter 278 Confession

Natsumi and Eriri were walking hand in hand along the street. The festival floats had not yet finished moving, and next to the floats were many people following the parade.

"It feels very noisy." Looking at the crowded crowd around, Xia Shi held Eriri's hand tighter. There were relatively few people at the entrance just now, but after walking inside for a while, more and more people came.

Ying Lili glanced at him and said, "Don't you like crowded places, you idiot?"

"No, it's just that it's not convenient to talk to you like this." Xia Shi said loudly on purpose.

Even so, his voice was still drowned out by the sound of the drums, and seeing this, Eriri chuckled a few times.

"Then let's move on quickly and get away from the parade," said Eriri.

"Yeah." Xia Shi turned around and said to Ying Lili: "Close your eyes first, I'll show you other scenery."

Ying Lili closed her eyes obediently after hearing that.

Xia Shi silently activated the Breath-Concealing Technique, put his arms around Eriri's waist, and lightly jumped over the crowd. His feet stomped in the air several times, and his almost pure black yukata fluttered in the wind.

After climbing up the air steps to a height of several dozen meters...

"You can open your eyes now." Xia Shi said gently.

Ying Lili slowly opened her eyes, and all she saw was brilliant colors. The street lights stretched from her feet to the horizon, and the originally noisy streets became quiet. The gorgeousness in the distance made her forget the fact that she was in the sky for a moment.

Xia Shi looked at her surprised face and whispered, "Now, I can hear your voice clearly."

Ying Lili suddenly reacted and carefully snuggled into Xia Shi's arms.

"Won't we fall?"

"This sentence hurts my heart, little fool." Xia Shi said softly.

"But..." Eriri looked down and hugged Natsumi tightly.

The heart also began to beat faster.

"Your heart is beating so fast right now."

"This is the suspension bridge effect..." Xia Shi hugged her in his arms, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "When a person is in danger, their heartbeat will subconsciously speed up. If she meets another person at this time, the accelerated heartbeat will make her mistakenly think that she has met her destined lover."

"..." Ying Lili didn't say anything. She kissed his cheek lightly and then hugged him tightly.

"This kind of relationship can't last long. When you wake up, you will regret it and realize the truth..."

Eriri gently stroked Natsumi's back.

I don't need to tell myself because I already knew it. Whether it was the first time or the ones that followed.

"But it doesn't matter even if you will hate me in the future. At least at this moment..."

"I like you, Eriri."

…Eri’s cheeks flushed as she listened to his heartbeat gradually quickening in her chest.

"I like you, Eriri." Natsumi repeated.

And, the last time.

"I like you, Eriri."

Eriri blushed and put her little head on Natsumi's chest, and answered in a barely audible voice -

"Ah."

In the distance, amid the neon lights of the city, the sound of fireworks exploding was heard.

“Crack~!! Boom!”

The brilliant light of fireworks enveloped the two of them. Xia Shi looked at the girl in front of him who was more beautiful than the fireworks and slowly lowered his head.

Ying Lili stood on tiptoe lightly.

The fireworks continue to bloom——

“Pah~!”

When the fireworks faded, the two figures slowly separated.

Ying Lili looked at Xia Shi's face, staring into his eyes, her breath as quiet as orchids——

"I like you, Xia Shi."

...Xia Shi pursed her lips, covered half of her lower face with her hands, and looked away shyly.

"Ah."

"I like you so much!" Ying Lili reached out to move his hand away and found that his face was also red.

"Stop talking." Xia Shi, whose defense was broken, was completely unable to withstand his attack.

"I like you, I like you, I like you the most in the world!" Ying Lili threw herself into his arms again.

Xia Shi stood there, feeling a little awkward and embarrassed.

……

"Are we an official couple now?" In the small park, Eriri held Natsumi's hand and asked again.

Xia Shi also answered without getting tired of it: "They are already a very loving couple."

The other party has asked this question more than a dozen times since he came down from the sky.

"Hehe." Ying Lili laughed foolishly for a few times and said happily: "Your confession just now was so cute, big idiot."

How can you describe boys as cute?

"You were super cute even when I confessed to you!" Eriri shook his hand.

"You're the cutest when you're shy." Eriri rubbed Natsumi's arm.

Xia Shi retorted, "Eri, you were shy just now, too."

"Hmph, girls will be shy when someone they like confesses their love to them!" Eriri explained.

"...I like you, Eriri." Xia Shi said suddenly.

Ying Lili said naturally: "I like you, too."

Xia Shi blushed and turned his head away.

"Hey, water balloons!" Eriri suddenly said, pointing to a shop in front.

Xia Shi looked over and found a large basin with colorful water balls in it. Many children were using hooks to fish for the balloons, but unfortunately the hooks were very small and the ropes on the balloons were very thin. Xia Shi found that many impatient children were frowning.

He glanced at Eriri beside him again and found that she seemed interested as well.

My girlfriend is also a child.

The two of them walked to the water polo shop and squatted down with the children. Eriri adjusted the hem of her yukata and tucked it between her calves and thighs to prevent them from being exposed and getting dirty.

Xia Shi was much more careless and didn't pay attention to the hem. He had originally copied this dress using his supernatural powers, so he didn't spend much effort on it. He had referenced some patterns on the Internet for the style.

"500 yen a hook, if you catch something you like you can take it home." The stall owner introduced as he handed over two hooks.

After Xia Shi paid, he gave one of them to Eriri.

Eriri's ocean blue eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

Xia Shi looked at her with great interest, then glanced at the other side of the basin where the children were also concentrating, and found it a little funny.

My girlfriend is so cute.

Eriri put down the hook, hooked a water ball, then blinked her right eye at Natsumi and made a wink.

"I hooked it! You big idiot!" Xia Shi seemed to be able to hear her voice.

OMG, she's so cute.

Xia Shi covered his nose and felt like he was about to bleed.

How did this cute creature grow up? Did it grow up by eating cuteness?

"What color do you want, you big idiot? I'll help you~" Ying Lili put down the hook again.

"Golden." Xia Shi replied.

“I like the gold one.”

Ying Lili heard the hidden meaning in his words, and her fair cheeks turned cherry red again.

She whispered: "Idiot~"
