There are always winners in war.
"Alright, alright, then it's settled. Until we completely defeat the evil organization, you'll stay here obediently. Anyway, we'll be partners from now on, fighting and helping each other together."
"I didn't expect you to be such a nice person, Xiaoye."
"Whether I'm good or not, I don't need your praise."
Water Goddess Xiaoye retorted somewhat shyly.
But I was still quite happy.
"But I still have to say that it is a very dangerous thing to take in a man in your home without permission."
"Oh, you're so long-winded. I'm not stupid; I have my own judgment, okay? I know you're not a bad person, which is why I want to help you. I promise you, you're the first man to stay in my house, and you'll be the last. Are you satisfied now?"
"There's one more thing."
"What else?"
"As a magical girl, while protecting others, the first thing you should protect is yourself."
"Protect myself?"
"If I were you, the moment someone tried to kidnap me, I would transform into a magical girl and kill them instantly."
"Hey! -- This won't do. This is too reckless. If a magical girl attacks an ordinary person, it could become a hot topic and have a very bad impact."
"Let me correct a misconception of yours. That's called self-defense and counterattack. What's wrong with that? If you can't even protect yourself, how can you expect to protect others?"
"I……"
Perhaps they knew that the other person was concerned about them.
Water Goddess Saya was unsure how to answer, but something didn't seem right.
"So, according to you, if I retaliate directly, then you were finished when you did those things to me back then, weren't you? You're really strange, saying things that are completely contrary to your actions."
Lorraine laughed.
"How was I supposed to know you were a magical girl back then? If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have treated you like that. I would have run away long ago, as far away as possible. You're lucky you met me... If you had run into some other man, you would be dead by now."
"So all that talk was just a roundabout way of patting himself on the back. Ugh, how shameless and brazen."
As they talked...
Water Goddess Xiaoye chuckled, seemingly in a very good mood.
Lorraine shrugged, offering no rebuttal.
——
It's late at night.
"It was the water god Xiaoye who said this."
"Okay, I'll keep everything you said in mind. Consider it a lesson learned. Next time I encounter a bad guy who tries to harm me like that guy did, I'll just turn into a magical girl, subdue him, and send him to the police station. Is that alright?"
"The right approach."
"What if you were a magical girl? How would you handle it?"
"Just kill them."
"Eh!!! -- Thank goodness you're not a magical girl, otherwise, we magical girls might have turned into the second evil organization."
"Haha, really?"
"It seems there's a reason why you were invited to join the evil organization."
"I am a good person."
"Do you have any qualities that make you seem like a good person?"
Why do you all say that?
"Because it's the truth, hehehe..."
That's all I have to say.
Shuishen Xiaoye didn't say anything more, because it was already past midnight, and she was really tired after experiencing so much.
Lorraine noticed it too.
"It's getting late, you should go to sleep."
"Okay, then you should get some rest too. See you tomorrow."
After waving goodbye.
Water Goddess Xiaoye turned and left, entering her own room next door.
——
That evening.
Lying in bed, the water goddess Xiaoye felt as if she were in a dream, whenever she thought about how a strong man had suddenly appeared next to her, just a wall away.
But... for some reason.
Suddenly, my life, which had been so mundane and somewhat boring, suddenly became interesting.
hey-hey.
——
She slept very soundly that night.
