Zongman: Collecting starts with Shiori

It turns out that there are such rules in the human world!!

Tohka was a little panicked. Would Feng be angry with her because of something like this? ?

"What are you doing? Why do you look so weird?"

After paying the money, Shikimori Kaede appeared in front of Tohka.

Looking at Feng's strange expression, Tohka felt more and more that her guess was correct. Feng would be angry about this, absolutely!

Chapter 48 The first bite, for you

What to do? What to do? What to do?

At this moment, Tohka was as anxious as an ant being roasted by fire, and she was so flustered that she almost went around in circles.

If she makes Shiki Morikaze unhappy at this moment, she will have no guide for the rest of her exploration!

Got it!

A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind, and along with the coolness brought by the ice cream in her mouth, Tohka's little head quickly formed a plan that she thought was extremely clever.

"Hey...what are you doing..."

Just as Shiki Morikaze was full of suspicion and wondering why Tohka suddenly remained silent, the scene in front of him made him widen his eyes.

Tohka leaped towards him without warning, and almost instantly, her lips were pressed against his. It all happened so suddenly that Shikimori Kaede didn't even have time to react.

An indescribable surprise surged in Shikimori Kaede's heart. He felt that Tohka's slightly cold tongue gently pried open the defenses between his teeth, like a gentle invasion.

Then, an ice cream mixed with rich chocolate aroma followed this unexpected kiss and slowly flowed through the two people's mouths, interweaving into an indescribable sweetness and surprise.

"Ugh...ha...!"

Coming back to his senses, Shikimori met Tohka's eyes full of pride and satisfaction. She stood there coquettishly, as if she had just accomplished a feat. Shikimori's throat moved, and he silently swallowed the ice cream in his mouth, his eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.

"What are you doing...?"

"Well..."

Tohka still tightly held the half-melted ice cream in one hand, and with the other hand she playfully made a "praise me quickly" gesture, looking at Shiki Morikaze with anticipation.

"Isn't this the rule of you humans? The best first bite of food should be given to your boyfriend. Look, how smart I am. I learned this by myself without you teaching me! How about it, am I awesome?"

There was a hint of pride in Tohka's words, and her tone was as brisk as the song of an oriole in spring. Her bright eyes sparkled with childlike joy. Seeing her slightly tilted her head back, two blushes appeared on her cheeks, and a proud and playful smile hung on the corners of her mouth, this pure self-satisfaction warmed Shikishoufeng's heart. He couldn't help but smile and gently pinched her upturned little nose, his action full of pampering and warmth.

"If you don't eat it, it will melt away, okay?"

Shikimori Feng reminded him in a gentle tone with a hint of joking, but his eyes were full of concern.

"Huh? Hey hey hey! It's really going to melt!!!"

When Tohka heard this, she was startled and quickly brought the ice cream that was about to melt to her mouth. The panic and eagerness in her eyes made Shiki Morikaze couldn't help but smile again.

"Human food is so delicious!!"

Tohka licked the ice cream carefully, afraid to waste any bit of sweetness, while looking at Shikimori Kaede with eyes full of novelty and excitement. That pure happiness seemed to illuminate the darkest corners and make everything around her colorful.

"Let's go. If you see anything you want to eat, just tell me. I'll take you to have fun today."

Shikimori Kaede promised with a smile, his words filled with his unreserved love for Tohka.

Seeing Tohka busy enjoying the delicious food in her hands while looking at the gradually melting ice cream with a childlike heartache in her eyes, the joy in Shikimori's heart surged like a spring, and a smile blossomed on his face, a smile filled with happiness.

In the following time, Tohka seemed to have opened the door to a new world. Her curiosity and surprise were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins and could no longer be suppressed.

The wide variety of delicious food is dazzling and colorful.

Especially when they passed by a bakery with warm decoration, Tohka was deeply attracted by the desserts and cakes displayed in the window. Her whole body was almost pressed against the glass, her eyes were shining like stars, and her saliva was almost flowing out of the corners of her mouth uncontrollably.

Looking at this scene, Lian Shi Shoufeng couldn't help laughing, with a gentle smile on his lips all the time.

But Tohka knew in her heart that although every food made her excited, she had to exercise restraint because she knew the importance of "money" in this world and did not want to burden Shikimori Kaede.

However, to her surprise, Shi Shoufeng seemed to be able to read her mind. He gently took her hand and walked into the store, gently touched her head and said.

"It's your choice. You can eat whatever you want today."

"Is...really okay?"

But Tohka saw that the bag that Shikimori Kaede used to hold his "money" was becoming increasingly deflated.

"It doesn't matter, go ahead."

"Great!!"

Tohka jumped up excitedly. She went straight to Shikimori Kaede's cheek and kissed him hard, then skipped off to choose the cake she had chosen a long time ago.

"I want this, this, and this!!"

Shikimori Feng touched his face helplessly and looked at Tohka who was constantly choosing cakes.

"This guy, does he know what this action means..."

While the two of them were happily playing.

There were two groups of people observing the two men from different places.

"Tsk... How on earth did this guy do it?"

Kotori was looking at Tohka and Shiki Morikaze in a cafe in the distance. She kept looking up and down, as if to confirm the detector in her hand, which seemed a little incredible.

"Yeah... the spirit is still there, but there is no reaction from the spirit at all. This seems to be the first time this has happened, right?"

Sitting next to Kotori was Reine, who had two big dark circles under her eyes.

It was not difficult to see that she was also a little surprised, and seemed unable to accept this kind of thing well.

"Well... But it doesn't matter. Anyway, our goal is to prevent the elves from causing damage. This way, the AST people shouldn't be able to find them, right? After all, we only knew they were here because of the tracker on that guy."

Kotori shrugged, her serious expression relaxing.

"....Is it really okay to indulge him like this?"

Lingyin looked at Qinli who was standing beside her.

"Why not?"

Kotori asked back, looking at Reine.

"Let's not talk about the fact that he was the first person to discover the ability to subdue elves. Just the fact that he made the 'Princess' lose the reaction of the elves shows that his importance is beyond doubt. I am grateful to have him as a teammate. If he was an enemy, I might have become his prisoner at some point, right?"

Reine did not refute Kotori's answer. She just silently looked at Shikimori Kaede and Tohka in the distance, wondering what they were thinking.

"What we should do now is just to make everything go smoothly. If he can conquer the 'Princess', it will be good for everyone, right?"

As if to convince Lingyin, or to convince herself, Qinli murmured softly.

Chapter 49 Feng is my best boyfriend

"The consistency rate is 98.5%. It has been confirmed that it is the elf 'Princess' whose signal has disappeared. Requesting permission to shoot."

At this time, Origami was standing on the top floor of a high-rise building under construction.

She once again put on her combat suit and held an anti-elf rifle that was longer than her height.

In front of him was an eye with farsightedness. After observing the target, Origami calmly reported into the headset.

Behind Origami was the similarly armed Kusakabe Ryoko. She looked at Origami's actions with a complicated expression.

Publicly speaking, there was nothing wrong with everything Origami did. After all, the existence of AST was to destroy the elves. The reason why they had to resort to repelling the elves was only because they discovered the terrifying fighting power of the elves in repeated battles.

Available in private...

For some reason, Kusakabe felt that he agreed with Shishoufeng's approach.

Moreover, Shiki Morifeng's approach is effective. At least for now, the elf's reaction has disappeared, but the elf still exists. It is even holding a lot of snacks in its hands and happily talking to Shiki Morifeng in the park... Doesn't all this show that Shiki Morifeng is using a completely different path to achieve what they failed to do?

But now it was too late even if Kusakabe wanted to stop Origami.

Because Origami had already bypassed herself and reported directly to the highest level to request the activation of the anti-elf rifle.

This is a horrific weapon developed specifically for elves. The recoil is so strong that it can cause a sniper to suffer a broken arm or become mentally ill due to the reaction force. Only by wearing the CR-Unit can one barely offset such terrible recoil.

If such a weapon can actually attack an elf that is not wearing spiritual clothing, there is indeed a chance that it can kill it, right?

"Zizi..."

Origami's earphones rang with a sound.

Kusakabe could see that after Origami heard the voice in the headset, she couldn't help but clench her hand around the elf rifle.

"Yes... guarantee the completion of the mission."

It seems...the higher-ups have already approved Origami's proposal.

Kusakabe sighed silently. She didn't decide what to do anymore. She just stood behind him silently, watching Origami start to debug the anti-elf rifle.

"Hmm... Feng, this is delicious too! Try it too!"

Looking at the cake that Tohka handed to him, although Shikimori Feng was already feeling a little full after taking one bite after another, he still cooperated and took a bite.

"Well, it's really good."

"Yes, yes!"

After getting the affirmation from Shikimori Kaede, Tohka felt that the cake in her hand tasted even better.

Shikimori looked at Tohka, who was sitting on a park chair, eating cake happily like a child, and the melancholy expression on her face had gradually disappeared. The corners of his mouth were involuntarily infected by her and a slight smile appeared on them.

"How was it... Did you have fun today? Did I lie to you?"

"Well...."

Upon hearing that, Tohka put down the cake and looked at Shiki Morikaze in a daze.

"Hmm... It's very different from what I imagined... I didn't see anyone hostile to me the whole day. On the contrary, everyone was very gentle and smiled at me."

After saying this, Tohka lowered her head and muttered.

"Although it would be more reliable to say 'that's all a trick of the robot army'..."

"Hey, hey...I can't just pretend I didn't hear you."

Shikimori Kaede hit Tohka on the head rudely.

Seeing Tohka covering her head pitifully, Shikimori Kaede said very seriously.

"Not all humans in the world are bad people, and I also believe that the main reason why AST is targeting you is because of a misunderstanding between you. As long as we can resolve this misunderstanding, both elves and humans can coexist harmoniously in this world."

“I actually know…”

Tohka pouted and lowered her eyes slightly.

"Um...?"

"I'm actually starting to understand why they wanted to kill me."

Tohka looked at Shikimori Kaede and forced a smile.

"After all... every time I appear, I am destroying this beautiful world... isn't it?"

"..."

Seeing the guilty and dejected expression on Tohka's face, Shikimori Feng couldn't help but reach out his hand, gently stroke her face, and look at her with a very gentle expression.

"You didn't do that voluntarily, did you?"

"Yes... I can't control these things, but for them, the result is that I destroyed them..."

Before Tohka could finish her words, Shikimori Kaede covered Tohka's lips and responded to her with a very bright smile.

"Since you didn't do it voluntarily, that's enough. Look, you haven't disappeared until now, which proves that you have a way to stay here for a long time, right? The Tohka I know is actually kind and lovely. As long as you show this side of her, everyone will know that elves are not as bad as imagined. You can be the representative of the elves and change their views. What do you think?"

"I...really? I...don't want to be separated from Feng...I am really very happy with Feng. Feng taught me a lot of things, I ate a lot of delicious food, and even...here..."

With tears in her eyes, Tohka covered the place where her heart was beating in front of her.

"This place... is particularly lively today... When I'm with Feng, this place that you humans call the 'heart' has never stopped jumping for joy... I'm really happy to be with Feng... I... don't want to leave Feng..."

"Oh, of course. As long as you want, I can tell you what you want to know day after day. I can take you to see more beautiful places. To be selfish, I also need your strength. Your strength can help me..."

"Selfish...?"
