"I...I understand."

"Thanks."

Hearing Lorraine's thanks.

Shuishen Xiaoye felt a little uncomfortable. Actually... she still liked the previous Lorraine who was very fierce and rude to her. Although she didn't dislike the current Lorraine who was very polite and kind, she just felt that he was a bit bland, like he was lacking salt and vinegar.

She recalled some things from the past and asked curiously.

Did you suddenly move house recently?

"Oh? What, you looked for me under the bridge?"

"Chika took me there once."

"Yeah."

Why move out of the blue?

"Of course, it's to prevent this from happening."

"ah?"

She couldn't understand.

Lorraine explained, "What if you're a bad guy? What if you use sweet words to bewitch Chika, find out where I live, and then sneak in at night to ambush me like this? Wouldn't I be finished?"

"Don't portray others as as bad as you, okay!"

Water Goddess Xiaoye complained, both embarrassed and angry.

She would never suddenly appear behind a man right after he's showered and is completely naked, then tie him up, interrogate him, and whip him...

How embarrassing!

Hate--

So where do you live now?

"I just found a nearby hilltop and hid there."

"Have you always been wandering alone like this?"

"That's right."

"And what about your family?"

"I have no family."

"Don't you even have a home?"

"right."

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat lifeless.

Water Goddess Sayo felt she might have asked some inappropriate questions, and she apologized, "I'm sorry, shouldn't I have asked these questions?"

Lorraine laughed lightly.

"It's okay, I don't mind. Actually, it's quite good this way. Being alone is carefree and free. Even if I wander the world, I have no ties. When I die, I just die... I don't have to worry about anyone being sad or concerned because of me."

"you……"

Although Lorraine was talking about something very ordinary.

But in the heart of the water goddess Xiaoye, she felt a mix of emotions. She could hardly imagine how one could continue to live in this world with nothing. If it were her, she would have been completely desperate long ago.

However--

The man in front of me was smiling so easily and casually, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
