Chapter 377 Talking about sensitive topics with the goddess?

"Hey!"

"You...what are you doing?"

Lin walked out of the kitchen with a plate in his hand, his face filled with shock, as if he was caught in a sudden storm in summer, and he almost knocked the plate over.

The black-haired girl with twin ponytails widened her eyes and looked at the scene in the living room in disbelief.

Did the thing you worried about really happen?

Just for a short while while I'm away?!

“Eh, eh, eh, eh——”

Sakura followed closely behind her sister, and her surprise was no less than Rin's. She put her hand over her mouth, with a look of disbelief in her eyes.

Is this... so exciting?

In the living room.

The girl with long silver hair shining like winter snow and fair skin tightly grasped the young man's hand - actually, it was his sleeve, it was just a matter of angle...

The two of them were quite close to each other. The girl was staring at the young man with her beautiful eyes wide open. She looked very surprised - in fact, she was frightened, but she was just imagining...

All in all, it’s all caused by perspective.

At first glance, the whole living room is filled with a subtle atmosphere, and the air seems to be filled with a faint charm.

at the same time--

"Eh?!"

When Miss Filia heard the sudden voice, she loosened her clenched hands as if she had been electrocuted, and seemed to have reacted.

She was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She almost jumped up, looking panic-stricken and at a loss.

"No, no..."

"Oh, by the way, I have something to do at the workshop, so don't call me for dinner..."

She hurriedly made up an excuse, and before she finished her words, she ran upstairs without looking back, leaving only a series of hurried footsteps behind her echoing in the empty living room.

"..."

"..."

The living room suddenly fell into a brief silence, and the air seemed to freeze.

Because all this happened so fast, so fast that people were caught off guard. Even Miss Toosaka, who had just spoken, was unable to react and stood there in a daze.

After a long while, she seemed to come to her senses, then walked over, biting her lip.

She gently placed the plate on the table, then sat aside, trying to act calm, curled her lips, and said:
"Tell me, what is the specific situation?"

Ying also sat down curiously, with a gossipy gleam in her eyes.

Although she was pouring tea skillfully with her hands, she actually pricked up her ears quietly, as if she wanted to hear every detail.

After all, as the saying goes, what is the source of all things in the universe?
Of course it’s gossip.

Although Ying also has some little thoughts, she is obviously not as entangled as her sister. Therefore, at this time, she is more of a spectator.

"..."

"..."

"Obviously—"

Xia Zhi withdrew his gaze from the stairs, nodded slowly when he heard the words, his tone revealing unquestionable certainty.

"She's anxious."

"?"

A question mark slowly appeared in Toosaka Rin's head, and she was obviously confused by this sudden conclusion.

She was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, pulled the corner of her mouth, and tried to sort out her thoughts: "Wait, I'm asking what the situation is, not whether Filia is anxious."

Who asked you to say this?
Everyone knows that she is anxious, and she is not blind.

It was because she saw Filia getting anxious that Ms. Toosaka felt such a strong sense of crisis.

After all, no matter how critical her performance was, it was still a critical moment. She was not slow at other times. After spending some time together, she had a general idea of what kind of person Filia was.

——Based on her current performance, she is also suspected to be a goddess...

——It’s just that it itself is unwilling to reveal its origins, and judging from its appearance and name, it’s hard to find a person who can match it…

——As for her usual self, although she is not as arrogant as Oudi, she is more elegant, gorgeous and bold, but you can still vaguely see the arrogance in her bones...

To be honest, apart from occasionally seeing Filia being humiliated by the Norse god, at other times, she always behaved so noble, decent, reserved and generous.

So just like just now, he seemed to be frightened by his own sudden words.

Then he tried to cover it up in a panic, and finally chose to escape, as if he was afraid to face it...

Such a situation...

It’s so abnormal!
Rin couldn't help but doubt and make associations, so the way he looked at the person in front of him was more or less a little off.

Could it be——

It was just like what I thought.

It's really suspicious. They were exchanging glances and flirting with each other just now, as if they were a couple...

"Lin, why do you have such a good imagination? Did you watch "The Legend of Zhen Huan"? "

Xia Zhi was very calm about this, and said, "We just discussed some very sensitive topics for her, so she couldn't accept it for a while."

"What is 'The Legend of Zhen Huan'?"

Miss Toosaka felt mixed emotions, and stared at him in shock and vigilance, raising her hands to her chest, making a symbolic gesture of alertness:

"Wait, do you know what I'm thinking? I haven't said anything yet!"

"Because it's clearly written on your face. Isn't that obvious enough? If you don't believe me, ask Ying."

The young man remained calm and waved his hand, indicating that he was not cheating, but that the girl was too easy to understand. "Huh? Me, me?"

Sakura, who was suddenly cueed at the side, was caught off guard.

Fortunately, Lin didn't really ask her sister about this matter, because seeing Xia Zhi's confident statement, she subconsciously believed it for the most part.

——Is it true that my thoughts are written all over my face?
——It won’t be so obvious, right?
The black-haired girl with twin ponytails quickly tensed her face and tried hard to control her expression.

The symbolic posture of alertness also turned into a proud posture of crossing the chest with both hands.

But even so, those skinny breasts still can't show any curves, and there's not much to see.

"Okay, alright, even if that's the case..."

Lin turned his face slightly and looked away, pretending that he didn't care and was just asking, and hummed twice:

"…So what sensitive topics did you discuss with her?"

Of course, it’s about the goddess’s good sister.

The most important thing is that the information that seems to be revealed inadvertently is actually deliberately revealed, which is full of impact when you are caught off guard.

It is known that Ishtar and Ereshkigal are two goddesses with two sides of the same coin...

It is known that Xia Zhi and Ereshkigal seem to have a very close relationship, to the point where it is natural for him to call her by her nickname "Ere"...

Then the problem is coming.

A goddess with two sides. When they shared a body, one of them was so close to him, but what about the other one?

What is the situation of the other one?

Because she didn't know the specific details, Filia would definitely think of this subconsciously.

If this is the case, the situation becomes delicate and complicated, and the goddess will naturally find it difficult to accept it for a while.

However, Xia Zhi would not be stupid enough to tell the truth, so he remained calm and asked back:

"I've hinted so clearly, but you still can't think of it?"

"what?"

Lin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and started to think: "It's... about her and Miss Oti?"

The magician said nothing.

Miss Toosaka thought she had guessed correctly and that he had agreed. She let out a long sigh and her tense mood relaxed.

"Huh, that's what I said..."

"But it's no wonder. For Miss Filia, this is indeed a very sensitive topic, right?"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case.

No wonder Miss Filia chose to escape rather than face it. She must have been feeling ashamed and angry when the matter was exposed.

She is suspected to be a goddess, and she has a proud personality, but she is suppressed by another goddess. How can she bear this?

Therefore, Miss Filia would never admit defeat and would challenge difficult levels again and again. She would fail over and over again, but she would keep fighting.

Even though they would not normally choose to challenge someone in front of Ms. Toosaka and the others, it doesn't mean that the latter don't know about it. They are just smart enough to play dumb and not bring up the topic directly.

"Although it's not a big deal if they keep fighting like this, you're being too direct..."

Lin exhaled softly, and then became a little worried.

"It's okay, it's okay. Actually, Miss Filia is very easy to talk to..." Xia Zhi blinked.

“No matter how easy she is to talk to, she may still be a goddess, so we should be more careful…” The black-haired girl with twin ponytails shook her head.

She still holds a normal understanding of the world of magic.

The realm of the gods is very mysterious and taboo.

Even if it appears in the form of a Servant whose existence is compressed to the limit, it is still a high-level mystery that ordinary magic cannot even dream of.

"What you said makes sense..."

Xia Zhi agreed and nodded repeatedly, making the girl feel somewhat involved in the matter.

"Well……"

Toosaka Rin frowned and looked at him with some confusion.

Why does she feel something is not right? Although there seems to be nothing wrong with the whole process, why does she feel that something is not right?

Is this guy fooling himself?
Lin's intuition seems to have improved. Is this the sixth sense of a girl? Xia Zhi noticed her abnormality and coughed quietly:
"By the way, there is one more thing. I am planning to go to South America in a couple of days..."

In short, bring up a new topic to divert her attention.

"South America?"

Ms. Toosaka was stunned for a moment.

"What are you going to do in South America?"

"Oh, just going to get some takeout." The magician looked calm and composed.

"...Takeout?" Rin and Sakura looked at each other and saw confusion and trouble in each other's eyes.

"Ahem, just go to the local area to investigate and try the local specialties..." Seeing this, Xia Zhi changed his words.

"Is there any special food in South America that you are so interested in?"

The black-haired girl with twin ponytails frowned. "I only know that there is a magical realm over there that is well-known in the magic world. It is a restricted area that humans are absolutely not allowed to enter..."

"The existence named "ORT" by the Clock Tower is there..."

Ying nodded and agreed:

"If you want to go there, you'd better be careful and don't approach that place rashly..."

"Oh, I see..." Xia Zhi stretched out his slender index finger, scratched his cheek, and shifted his eyes to the side.

He was heading for that place.
