"Kaoru, are you alright?!"
Hanabishi Haruka, who was watching from the sidelines, thought that Amagawa Kaoru had really slipped suddenly, and couldn't help but step forward to ask her with concern.
Kaoru Amakawa also let go of Lorraine's hand and distanced herself from him.
"Xiaoyao, I'm fine. I just accidentally bumped into some bad guy."
"It's good that you're alright. Kaoru, you're really something."
Hearing that the other person was alright, Hua Lingyao finally felt relieved and joked, "That's great. I thought... it would take some time for you to accept Lorraine, after all, you've always been so wary of him."
"No, Xiaoyao, I'm even more certain now. Even if I look at the whole world, this is the only man I have to be constantly on guard with. I have to keep an eye on him at all times. I can't let my guard down for even a moment!"
"ah?"
Amakawa Kaoruko's words seemed to have a hidden meaning, but Hanabi Haruka didn't quite understand them.
She continued to speak well of Lorraine.
"Xunzi, please believe in Brother Lin. He is a really good person. He saved my life and protected me with his own. So, a person like him could not possibly be a bad person."
"Oh??? I didn't know that was the case."
Kaoru Amakawa was truly amazed and almost clapped her hands in delight.
She then asked.
"Xiaoyao, is there anything else we don't know?"
"This... will remain a secret for now."
As she spoke, Hua Lingyao suddenly lowered her head and blushed.
Little did they know.
It was her unintentional shyness that instantly made Kaoru Amakawa imagine a whole bunch of romantic drama scenarios. She turned to look at Lorraine, her eyes practically spitting fire.
Lorraine protested her innocence.
Kaoruko Amakawa desperately suppressed her urge to knock someone unconscious, lock them in a dark room, and keep them there forever. She smiled and said...
"That's wonderful, Xiaoyao. It seems you've really been through a lot with him. I'm starting to feel a little envious. Why hasn't anyone ever risked their life to protect me? Hmm? Why not?"
As they talked...
She glared fiercely at Lorraine again.
The latter averted his gaze and muttered something under his breath.
"Why is Xunzi staring at me like that? What does it have to do with me?"
——
Then.
That concludes the introduction of Kaoru Amakawa.
Finally, it was the Water Goddess Xiaoye's turn to stand before Lorraine. Her body trembled slightly, and her soft, sorrowful eyes stared intently at Lorraine.
But she still tried her best to endure it, just like Kaoru.
She also extended her hand and said.
"I am the water goddess Sayo, the magical girl Magia Azure. Nice to meet you, Lorraine."
"Um, Xiaoye, nice to meet you."
Lorraine hesitated for a moment, then reached out her hand as well.
Because the other person looked like they could burst into tears at any moment.
After the two clasped hands,
The water goddess Xiaoye didn't secretly do anything bad to him, but once she held his hand, she showed no intention of letting go.
She turned her head and glanced at Hanabi Haruka, who was still talking to Amakawa Kaoru.
Taking the opportunity, he moved a few steps closer to Lorraine.
Then, out of sight, in a corner, in a fit of rage, he clenched his other hand into a fist and punched Lorraine hard.
It was very gentle, and it didn't hurt at all.
Lorraine's muscles were so strong that it made her hands hurt a little from hitting her.
Lorraine whispered to herself.
"Xiaoye, many things are not as you think. It's just a coincidence, a chance occurrence."
"Waaah, what did I do wrong? You actually went to see other women behind my back! And they're all my best friends. Kaoru was one thing, but now even Haruka's turned out like this. What more do you want from me to be happy?!"
You've misunderstood.
"You were so friendly with other women right in front of me!"
"I don't."
"You still say you didn't? You and Xiaoyao seemed so close just now, she even held your arm like that. Xiaoyao has never been that close to any boy before!"
“She approached me without permission. I’m asking you, did I do anything?”
"this……"
Water Goddess Xiaoye was taken aback, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.
Aside from Xiaoyao taking the initiative, Lorraine stood still the whole time, doing nothing and saying nothing.
Thinking about this...
Her mood did improve slightly, but that was all.
Lorraine went on to explain.
"Anyway, there's a reason for all of this. I'll explain it to you when we get home tonight, and you'll understand then."
"real?"
"Let me tell you, I, Lao Lin, am an upright and honest person. I have never done anything wrong and I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door."
"Is it really true?"
You have to believe me.
"Is it really, really true?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!..."
Seeing Lorraine so open and confident, the Water Goddess Xiaoye felt much better.
But she still said it.
"Alright then, I'll listen to your explanation tonight. But please remember this: even Kaoru and Haruka are not like me. Even if you look across the entire world, you won't find another magical girl like me who is willing to be controlled by you. —So, you'd better cherish me! Did you hear me, you rascal…"
now.
Facing the water god Saya, whose body was trembling slightly.
