Chapter 1013: line with translation of chapter title

NO．136：Someone is blushing, someone else is also blushing.

Little Aomo really wanted to directly send a mental message to indicate that now is not the time, but Lipiya was still patiently waiting nearby.

With an attitude of asking when you don't understand, which is guaranteed to cause trouble, he had to first steady this alien.

And in this process.

In this non-stagnant time.

Even without turning his head, Little Aomo could sense another gaze coming from behind diagonally, similar to Lappland's gaze.

Ailisuzhi, her face showing satisfaction and pleasure as if watching a good show begin.

And Sirius and Rudolf, who had just finished a lap, just drunk water, hadn't come over to chat, and thus weren't about to leave, also now turned their gaze here.

In fact, just the act of a sudden visit is worth everyone's attention.

Although everyone more or less knows of those two's existence, the reason for coming specially still inevitably arouses curiosity.

And Chazuo and Bourbon seemed to have already sensed something, subconsciously stepping closer, but were blocked by those black fingers with a bit of white lacquer.

The black lines extending from the white lacquer surface were like the dark red seam of a sandwich cookie.

"Must it be now? This question seems unnecessary to ask, but I have to say, you picked a bad time."

With the height of the Mifiras suit, Little Aomo could take in the will in the eyes of the 1.6-meter-tall Chelennina.

It cannot be called stubbornness nor persistence; it is a deep and settled will, clean and decisive, unwavering.

Making those gradually changing blue-gold eyes hard to forget.

This is her gaze when she is serious.

But precisely because of this, she feels even more embarrassed.

Never mind what it is, right now it really isn't easy to change, huh?

He subconsciously turned his head, that mischievous-smiling Ailisuzhi, the curious Rudolf and Sirius symbols, the worried Manchester Chazuo and Meipu Bourbon, and further away, those who initially guided the three ahead, Guye Xiao Mei Ji and her subordinates.

And wanting to see the original appearance... is it wanting to see one's youthful self?

"How? You have..."

It seemed Lappland was about to speak up for Chelennina, but before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly stopped due to a sudden voice in his mind.

Immediately her expression became subtle, and she turned to look at the friend beside her.

After great effort to prepare, do we run into the moment when the other side is 'distorted'?

The bad timing does not come from busyness, nor even from everyone's situation, but because the Aomo Lindun she seeks is not present now.

Now only Little Aomo, who unintentionally reveals stubbornness, even has a slight traumatic-like memory echo when seeing Chelennina.

That memory back then, which truly made one blush, could not even shake the expressionless alien's brain by a bit.

Little Aomo was not pulled by that memory either, because Lappland's gaze beside him made him extremely alert.

She sized up the 'Mifiras', then looked at the surrounding group of girls, clearly realizing something, and a certain idea began to stir.

But that idea is likewise difficult to realize.

Because she has never seen the other in such a state being broken.

"It's okay."

"What?"

"?"

Also, while both sides were brainstorming, Chelennina spoke in a tone as calm as if she hadn't thought of anything, and with just a few short words earned question marks from both sides.

"Even if you're not like that, it's fine; I'll tell you now, and you can judge later when you recover in the future."

You and I should be like this, not letting fiery emotions cloud our minds, nor letting impulses dictate our actions.

"Because this is an opportunity that cannot be missed." she said.

At this moment, I am unprecedentedly clear-headed, but next time I cannot guarantee it.

She actually does not have enough confidence.

The handling and expression of affection and love is unfamiliar territory for her.

If not for Lappland's coercion, I wouldn't even notice the changes in myself, nor notice my special treatment when dealing with matters concerning him.

"Perhaps I will no longer be able to say this so straightforwardly later."

Perhaps next time I won't be able to be so composed.

Unusual affection is like breathing; once you start paying attention, everything's rhythm may become disrupted.

Upon hearing the information that the other party is currently Little Aomo, she was startled by the sudden sense of ease she felt.

It's not because the other didn't encounter danger or trouble, nor because they weren't bound by Xin Tiaoxi, but because I felt I had thus avoided an occasion of directly facing them.

This is a cowardice that shouldn't exist.

At this moment, she discovered she was feeling nervous.

She thought she needed to turn back, calm down, and reflect again.

But before that, this opportunity might not come again.

Oneself, so earnest, standing before him.

He, in a childlike form, differs from usual, yet reminds her of that morning.

But he is also standing here in this alien form, giving her a sense of calm as if speaking to a stranger.

Such an opportunity is hard to come by a second time.

At this moment she stands here, and all the abnormalities surging on her body are even more direct proof.

Proof that her affection for Aomo is even deeper than when she was thinking things over on the road.

So at this moment, she even no longer insists on going out to find a place where no one will disturb her.

She is here, under the gaze of these people, speaking in a tone that even she finds unbelievable, yet still earnest and straightforward:

I like Lindun, I like the one who joined Penguin Logistics, becoming my colleague Aomo Lindun—that's what I want to say, and I'll wait for your answer after you recover.

Lappland… She said that and then called over the guy nearby, then discovered that guy was again holding his phone, not sure if recording audio or video, "Let's go."

But she had no intention of staying here for more than a second.

Eh? It's already leaving?

Lappland, who had looked away from the phone screen, quickened her pace to catch up; in this momentarily quiet space, her muttering was the only human voice.

And Aomo Lindun, who had frozen in place after hearing those words, suddenly turned into a puff of black mist after watching the two wolves depart.

In an instant, all the gazes that had been following the two wolves away reconverged, fixing on the delicate, exquisitely carved little boy who appeared in the rapidly dissipating mist.

Ah...? With so many gazes, the boy, still sensitive to sight, looked back, and then, before the surrounding black mist, realized first that his line of sight was too low.

How did Hei'an dissipate...

He immediately pursued the cause, lowering his head to look at the Mephilas card in his hand that was quickly solidifying into black mist.

With a somewhat flustered motion he lifted it, about to reactivate its power, but its Hei'an, in the process of reconstructing a body—was already too late.

In an instant of wind sound, his whole body was directly enveloped by a warm, soft mass, and that familiar scent left him astonished.

Bourbon?

The next second, the card between his fingers vanished, and immediately Suzi's voice came from beside his ear:

What a perfect opportunity—let's confiscate this first.

What are you doing?!

Unlike ordinary people, the little Aomo, who was cautious and wouldn't act rashly, finally thought of struggling violently, but it was already too late.

Afterward, even two more voices came from above and below, sounding as if they were right beside us.

Bourbon classmate, can I have a turn after you're done hugging?

Permission granted, Master Energy Sharing.

Hahaha, I never expected you to actually look like this, Aomo Lindun—just use this appearance to act arrogant in front of me?

Mmm!!

... Bourbon, you seem to be hugging too tight...

"Lipiya, save me!"

"It turns out even without the Mephilas card, you've mastered his telepathic power."

"This doesn't matter! Save me!"

"The girl's emotions caused a momentary imbalance in the darkness of the Mephilas card, and I want to see whether these girls' emotions can also suppress those negative feelings."

"What the hell are you here for?!"

"I warned you about the hidden dangers of your Mephilas fusion; now it's no longer needed."

"So are you going to save me or not?!!"

——

Outer area of the β training ground.

First her steps were steady, then she moved with flying speed, and finally she broke into a run—Qièliènínà, regardless of whether Lappland had caught up, already braked at the corner of the next doorway she burst out of, stood at the roadside, raised a hand to cover her face, and slowly squatted down.

Even as the sound of the sword tip hitting the ground reached her ears, even as doubtful glances were cast her way from around, she remained motionless.

Hahahaha, I was still wondering if you couldn't hold out, and lo and behold, you really ended up like this!!

That arrogant tone, deserving of a tail‑hair scraping, proved she had caught up after all.

Moreover, another thirty points were deducted, and her tail fur was doomed.
