"That complicated?"

"These are all necessary experimental data. Otherwise, I cannot throw them into the real battle unprepared. That would not only be extremely irresponsible to Xiaoye, but also arrogant and contemptuous towards all of you."

"It must be very tough, right?"

"Yes, but it will all be worth it."

That moment.

Lorraine's resolute gaze was deeply reflected in Amakawa Kaoru's eyes, captivating and mesmerizing her.

But at the same time, she felt a deep sadness, and she asked from the bottom of her heart.

"Lorraine, why?"

"Xunzi?"

"Why is it that among the three of us, only Xiaoye is worth your desperate efforts and hard work? Is she really the only one who is special to you?"

"this……"

"Why can't Amakawa Kaoru do it? Why can't Magiya Sulfur... do it?"

When that touched tenderness was fully displayed on Kaoru Amakawa's face.

She leaned almost forward, placing her hands on Lorraine's chest and pressing her entire body against him.

Those clear, pitiful eyes radiated a mixture of resentment and envy.

Lorraine's pupils contracted slightly.

He remained silent, not answering immediately.

Kaoru Amakawa said.

"Lorraine, I can do it too. As long as you're willing, I can do anything for you, just like Xiaoye did. So... please, just this once, please?"

"Kaoru, I..."

"It's so unfair that you're only focusing on Xiaoye, isn't it?"

"Many things cannot be explained in just a few words."

"And what about me?"

"Kaoru, I have not looked down on any of you. My choice was made after careful consideration of the actual situation. I hope you can understand that you are my best partners and I will not easily put you in danger. Therefore, any decision must be carefully considered."

Lorraine's words immediately improved Kaoru Amakawa's mood.

At least she now clearly understands that Lorraine chose Xiaoye not because Xiaoye had a good figure or was very pretty.

really……

Lorraine, still her Lorraine.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, she smiled again. "Alright then, we'll trust you for now. But don't you dare have any lewd thoughts about Xiaoye, understand? Otherwise, I won't let you off easily."

"How could I possibly have the mind to think about those things?"

"That's more like it. Remember, be loyal."

"What loyalty?"

"Of course, they are loyal to me."

"ha?"

Lorraine wondered if she was still half asleep or not fully awake. "Xunzi, you should go back to sleep. It's past two in the morning."

"But I don't want to go back so easily."

"Then what else do you want?"

"My..."

Kaoru Amakawa stammered, her face flushing slightly, before finally whispering, "Hold me for a while."

"What?"

"Unless you're willing to hold me a little longer, then... I'll obediently go back to sleep."

"you……"

"Hurry up!"

Urged on by Amakawa Kaoru.

Lorraine finally had to give in and sat down by the dancing campfire with her in his arms.

And even now.

As she was completely embraced by the other person, Amakawa Kaoru felt as if she were in the most blissful and gentle paradise. She closed her eyes and curled up quietly in Lorraine's arms like a well-behaved kitten.

Enjoying this hug.

Enjoying this wonderful and uniquely peaceful night.

Really...

marvelous.
