The room was temporarily quiet.
Shen He looked at Ryougi Shiki who was lying there. After falling asleep, her hands holding the quilt gradually became weak. She did not take off her clothes or make the bed, as if there was no difference between lying in bed and lying on the road.
However, judging from her peaceful expression, she was sleeping soundly.
"Just like a child." Shen He muttered softly.
She didn't care about anything when she was sleepy.
He thought about it.
He simply turned over and lay down. He was also too lazy to cover himself with a quilt. He changed to a comfortable position, imagining that he was lying on the grass in the sky garden. The breath of Ryougi Shiki came faintly around him, and he fell asleep quickly.
The next morning, he was gently awakened.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Ryougi Shiki's delicate face and dark eyes. It was really a novel experience for Shen He.
After all, he was used to being awakened by Jeanne's soft voice.
"Good morning, Shiki."
Shen He greeted lazily, and then continued to close his eyes.
People who really know how to enjoy never get up as soon as they wake up.
"Good morning, and get up." Ryougi Shiki continued to arch his shoulder with her hand, "Open the castle and let me in."
"Huh? Do you want to change clothes?" Shen He couldn't take a nap this time. He opened his eyes, but didn't rush to open the door. Instead, he looked at the girl in front of him, "You are... Shiki."
He was a little hesitant at first, but later he was sure.
The difference between Shiki and Zhi is easy to identify after getting familiar with each other.
Compared with Shiki, Zhi will act closer.
Even if Shiki cares in his heart, it is not easy to see from his words and deeds.
"..." Shiki was silent for a while, then took a deep breath, "That guy said some unnecessary words, just ignore it."
After waking up, everything Zhi said and did yesterday appeared in her memory.
Sharing memories means that multiple personalities have no time and space.
But those words...
Shiki already regretted letting Zhi come out to meet Shen He.
"Why do you ignore it?" Shen He looked at Shiki with a smile, and suddenly asked, "Shiki, do you want to go back to your world?"
"What? Why do you suddenly say such a thing!?"
Shiki looked like a frightened little rabbit, with muscles tensed, as if he was going to jump up in the next second.
He couldn't help but blurt out some rude words.
"I'm serious." Shen He even lay flat on his side, facing Ryougi Shiki. "At first, I was really worried that you would propose the idea of going back. After all, I summoned you to my side without your consent, but now, if you still have some things that you can't let go of, maybe going back is a good choice."
"......You......"
Ryougi Shiki uttered a word from her mouth, as if she wanted to ask something, but it was stuck in her throat.
"Well, I'm not worried." Shen He smiled.
He knew what Ryougi Shiki wanted to ask.
"You, sometimes you can just speak out your feelings." Shen He subconsciously reached out his hand and stroked her long hair. "If Zhi hadn't made it clear, our misunderstanding of each other might have continued. In fact, you already had the answer in those three months."
"...... Yeah." Ryougi Shiki was silent for a while, and then nodded reluctantly, "Although I don't know when it started, if I leave you for a long time, I will indeed feel irritated..."
Ryougi Shiki's voice at this time was full of unwillingness and considerable loneliness.
The past in her memory seemed to have had such a feeling.
Although because of the Galan Cave, her past emotions only stayed on the surface of the memory and she could not empathize with them.
But why must she be anxious for others?
"It's all your fault!" Ryougi Shiki suddenly got angry when she thought of this. Her dark eyes widened and she stared at Shen He. "You come to me when you think of me, and then you run away every time you say something insignificant. This time, I can't get in touch with you. The only possibility for you not to come to me is that you are already dead. I am almost a killer because of this!" She
couldn't help but raise her bare toes and kick Shen He's thigh.
Shen He could only silently endure it with novelty and pity.
Not to mention kicking, this force is not even a massage, it's more like a pampered kitten.
Speaking of which, it can make Ryougi Shiki lose control to this extent.
It seems that those three months were indeed a great torture for her.
"Are you still angry?"
Shen He asked tentatively after Ryougi Shiki stopped.
But there was no reply.
Ryougi Shiki just panted slightly and looked away.
Obviously, the emotions accumulated in those three months can no longer be suppressed.
"I did care a little bit about that person before." Shen He said as if he was talking to himself, "Kurotogi Kan'ya, I've read your story and know what kind of person he is. I also know that he can be regarded as the only friend you recognized in the past, so sometimes I'm not sure whether you will resent me for bringing you here and leaving him, or whether you are longing for the past life."
This is Shen He's complete confession of his inner thoughts.
Before being summoned by him, Shi's feelings for Kurotogi Kan'ya had already sprouted.
Although because of the Galan Cave.
That feeling became very weak. In the absence of subsequent contact, Shi didn't even have any thoughts of going back.
However, Shen He still cared a little.
This may be a common problem for men. Shen He summoned Shi at the beginning. In the past, he had a good impression of Shi from the plot of fantasy works, but in the end he fell in love with Jeanne first.
Because Jeanne is still a blank sheet of paper.
Shen He was sure that his love would be responded to by Jeanne with all her heart, so he could feel at ease and express and pour out his emotions without any repression.
"What?" Ryougi Shiki lowered her head in dissatisfaction, "Do you really care about such things?"
Is she nostalgic for the past?
Shiki was a little confused.
She recalled the memories of the past, and recalled them very carefully, and the result was -
no.
It is true that she knew that the boy who seemed like a poet would always protect her.
But this protection made her in the past feel scared.
This is something very clear in her memory.
In the past, she didn't know when she would lose control, become a murderer, and even kill Kuroto Mikiya. Even if she didn't, Kuroto Mikiya would definitely not accept her impulse to kill.
[Shiki will not kill. ]
Ryougi Shiki recalled the expression of the other party when he said this, and a hint of irony appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She not only killed people now, but also killed a lot of people.
And Zhi has also awakened.
If you think about it carefully, Shen He will replace or even surpass the position of Kuroto Kan'ye in your heart. In addition to the protection that will not fade, the indulgence of killing yourself like a doting person may be an important reason. When
Ryougi Shiki thought of this, she suddenly found that bitterness surged in her heart again.
If Shen He could appear by her side from the beginning, the very beginning...
"I mean, before."
Shen He's voice suddenly interrupted Ryougi Shiki's thoughts.
She raised her head.
This plain but very familiar face was wearing a helpless smile.
"If I still have such thoughts, I won't tell you at all. After all... if it's just the identity of the master, I don't have the qualifications to be jealous of such things." Shen He probably didn't want to be so unclear anymore. He held Ryougi Shiki's palms with both hands, staring at her seriously, "If you don't mind, I want to have this qualification."
"..."
Ryougi Shiki slightly opened her mouth.
Her limited common sense was a little hard to turn around.
Is this a confession?
But from the literal meaning, it seems to represent a further step in the subordinate relationship. In this way, it is expressing his possessiveness.
"No." Ryougi Shiki rejected subconsciously.
"So soon..." Shen He opened his mouth slightly.
To be honest, even though he had confirmed his position in Ryougi Shiki's heart through this time and space confusion.
Shen He had thought about being rejected.
After all, the object was Ryougi Shiki. With her way of thinking, it was not surprising that she would make any choice.
But even so, he was still very disappointed at the moment.
He mustered up a lot of courage to decide to express his inner feelings instead of deliberately keeping it unclear. After all, he really couldn't stand that Ryougi Shiki had someone else in her heart, and he also enjoyed the time with her very much.
——This can be regarded as love.
Ryougi Shiki looked at the disappointment in Shen He's eyes and wondered if he had rejected it too early.
What exactly did this guy mean?
Ryougi Shiki decided to verify it in another way.
"You are not without women, so let me ask you, do you feel the same way about me as you do about Jeanne?" Ryougi Shiki's eyes were fixed on Shen He's pupils.
If the answer is different.
It means that his words just now were really just a declaration of possessiveness.
"This question..."
Shen He opened his mouth slightly again, not knowing what to say at all.
If he is a qualified scumbag,
he should say it is different now, and then say a lot of love words.
But Shen He is obviously not a qualified scumbag.
So he thought carefully in his mind for a long time.
"It is different." Shen He stood up and sat up. "Joan of Arc gives me a feeling of home. Although it is a bit shameful to say this, when I am with her, I experience more of the feeling of being loved. She brings great comfort to my heart, but for you, I think I have more feelings of caring, protecting, and doting."
No one else can analyze his heart so clearly.
Shen He was helpless.
Whether it is Joan of Arc or Ryougi Shiki, they are not those vase characters in novels or animations. If you want to open a harem, it is an insult to them if you don't give them a clear explanation.
Shen He's feelings for Joan of Arc are serious. Her appearance can be said to have greatly made up for the loneliness of Shen He who traveled alone.
The warmth and expectation of returning to the room and no longer being alone cannot be faked.
But for Shiki.
After being summoned from her coma, Shen He couldn't help thinking about how to fill her heart. He was even very happy for her awakening, angry and sad for her injury, and deliberately avoided the topic of asking her to go back because of the dark jealousy. Even
Shen He couldn't help but laugh at himself twice.
Man.
However, once you accept yourself like this, your face becomes thicker.
"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't accept it now." Shen He smiled as if it was normal. "Anyway, you have been my servant for a long time, and you can't run away. I will explain it to Jeanne. Don't you want to go to the castle to change clothes?" He stretched out
his hand and opened the door of the castle.
Ryougi Shiki also sat up.
Her mind was still recalling what Shen He had just said.
Caring, protecting, doting...
Does she look like she needs the protection of others so much?
It seems...
That's true.
Recalling the loneliness and solitude she felt during those three months, Ryougi Shiki couldn't help but blame herself for being so useless. She
stood up and walked to the open castle gate. Her eyes suddenly turned to the door of the room, and her expression suddenly changed a little.
Turning back.
"You must explain it to Jeanne."
"I know, I know." Shen He said with a bitter face.
How to explain this.
Although Jeanne is very gentle, she is also very scary when she gets angry.
Ryougi Shiki went directly into the castle and the door disappeared.
Shen He looked at the empty room, sighed, and stood up.
Squeak -
the sound of the door opening.
Then, in Shen He's somewhat horrified eyes, Jeanne stood outside the door.
"Je, Jeanne, good morning."
"Good morning, Master." Jeanne walked in, closed the door, locked it, and then showed a very gentle smile, "Master, do you want to explain something to me?"
"..."
Shen He swallowed his saliva, his heart thumping.
It's not that he was guilty.
Rather, he was nervous. In this kind of situation, the person who would be hurt the most would undoubtedly be Jeanne, and Jeanne was one of the people Shen He cared about the most.
But——
"Okay, I'll be honest." Shen He raised his hands.
Although he didn't know whether Jeanne had heard all the conversations between him and Ryougi Shiki.
But at this time, Shen He also told her everything honestly, no matter how big or small.
Starting from yesterday's weaving.
Jeanne just stood at the door, listening with a smile on her face, and kept nodding, so that Shen He couldn't guess what she was thinking at all.
This was even more terrifying.
In the end, Shen He finished telling everything, including his analysis of his own emotions.
"So." Jeanne tilted her head, "Master, do you really still want to open a harem?"
"..."
Shen He didn't speak, which actually meant tacit agreement.
He didn't know whether there would be more people in the future.
But at least he would not let go of Ryougi Shiki.
