Chihaya Aine has nine wings

Aine hurriedly laughed and changed the subject: "Come to think of it, Toyokawa-san, why are you here...?"

"Originally it was for this." Xiangzi raised his hand, and Aiyin realized that Xiangzi was holding a familiar instrument. It was similar to a tablet with a long connecting line, which was used to adjust the frequency of the power suppressor. Just like a musical instrument needs to be tuned every once in a while, a precision instrument like the power suppressor needs to be adjusted every two or three days.

This is Xiangzi’s most important job.

"So, Chihaya-san, are you free?" Xiangzi raised the supernatural tuner in his hand, and the meaning was self-evident.

"I'm ready anytime..." Aiyin sat up from the bed, unbuttoned the collar of her pajamas and opened the collar to reveal her collar. Xiangzi walked to the bed and sat down, leaning over to connect the frequency modulator and suppressor together.

Aine squinted her eyes. Shoko seemed to have just finished a shower. The fragrance drifted into Aine's nose along with her slightly wet long hair. For some reason, it was clearly just the smell of the shampoo that Aine often used at home, but at this moment she felt it was unusually fragrant.

She raised her eyes to look at Shoko, and the girl's face in Aine's eyes was very close. She was looking at the screen in her hands meticulously and did not notice Aine's gaze towards her.

It's really beautiful, Toyokawa-san...

Aine inexplicably felt an urge to get to know the other person better: "Toyokawa-san, are you... a hero?"

Xiangzi's eyes were still on the tablet: "Not really."

"Eh?"

"Why the surprise?"

"Because I thought... if they can monitor me, then they must have the ability to suppress me. Look, you can adjust this suppressor, but only professionals in the UK can do that."

"I can suppress you, but in Japan, people with special abilities must form a team to register as heroes. It takes at least four people."

"Only in a team?"

"Well, so I'm not a hero anymore. And I have absolutely no interest in being a hero." Xiangzi was operating something on the tablet seriously. "Why do you want to be a hero?"

“Ah? Because being a hero…” Aine thought for a moment, “I can help others? I can realize my own value and social value? Or, because I was saved by a hero when I was a child, I want to pass on this kindness to others when I grow up?”

"…Please don't bring up that same excuse from the hero license interview."

"Hehehe." Aine looked away. What could she do? She couldn't just tell the truth. She just wanted to be praised by everyone, right?

Eh~ I feel so lame.

Xiangzi sighed: "Heroes are not what you think."

“Hey——Why does Toyokawa-san speak like an uncle?” Aine joked, “Have you seen through the vicissitudes of life?”

Xiangzi did not answer, but unplugged the connection cable: "It's over, Chihaya-san has to go to school to handle formalities tomorrow morning, so go to bed early."

“Hey!” Aine grabbed Xiangzi’s arm to stop her from leaving. “Um, um… By the way! Do you know the information about my special ability? I’ll tell you in detail.”

"Your father has sent me a copy of the detailed file, so I understand everything."

"Well, if we want to live together, we need to set some rules for our daily life, right? Let's discuss it together?"

"We can talk about this tomorrow, right? And I don't ask anything of you, just knock before entering my room."

“Then, then…” Aiyin lowered her eyes and saw a hint of white under the hem of Shoko’s nightgown. She lowered her head and frowned, and saw that it was actually a bandage. “Toyokawa-san is injured?”

"Yes, but it has been dealt with." Xiangzi pushed down her skirt and said with a frown.

"Hey, that blood oozing out of the bandage looks like fresh blood, right?" Ain became unhappy. She stood up and pressed Xiangzi's shoulders to force her to sit on the bed. "Your sloppy bandage won't work. Let me help you do it again." As she spoke, Ain skillfully took out the medicine box from her luggage.

"I don't need it." Xiangzi wanted to stand up.

"You need it." was pushed back.

"I can handle it myself." Xiangzi grabbed the hem of her skirt tightly and held it tightly.

"Then let's deal with it here." Aiyin put the medicine box beside the bed, put her hands on her hips and stared at Xiangzi, showing no sign of backing down.

"......Ah." After staring at each other for a long time, Xiangzi finally gave in, sighed and lifted his skirt towards Aine, revealing the bandage just above the knee. Aine, with a triumphant expression, began to help Xiangzi deal with it.

"No, Toyokawa-san, what did you use to treat this wound?"

"……Um."

"What are you talking about... Hey, can I help you disinfect it again?"

"…Please feel free to do as you please."

Aiyin's technique was very professional, at least in Xiangzi's eyes, very professional. Every step was very skillful, and the whole process was orderly.

Sometimes his hands would grab the sheets because of the pain from the stinging wounds, and sometimes his thighs would feel itchy because of the hair that Aine had fallen on them, but Shoko's eyes were unconsciously attracted to the girl who was half-crouching in front of him. The room fell silent, with only the sound of Aine treating the wounds and the sound of raindrops hitting the window.

Then, Shoko saw the curve of Aine's mouth.

She froze for a moment.

Then he asked softly, "Chihaya, you seem very skilled. Have you taken relevant courses?"

"Ah, to treat the wound?"

"Ah."

"I haven't taken a similar course, but I thought it might be useful, so I taught myself." Aine looked up at Xiangzi and smiled proudly, "Isn't it amazing?"

"Well, that's amazing." Xiangzi smoothed his hair and looked away.

"I learned this so that I can help others one day. It's great that I was able to help Toyokawa today."

"...You are so gentle," Xiangzi said softly, "It's a pity that this world is not a gentle world."

"How could that be? I feel like Toyokawa-san is very gentle."

"I don't." Xiangzi's eyes dimmed, "I don't deserve those two words."

“Eh? But Toyokawa-san accepted my parents’ employment. Being a guardian of a person with out-of-control superpowers, this kind of life-threatening job, generally speaking, no one who is not a close relative would do it, no matter how much money they are paid, right?” Aine smiled widely, “And Toyokawa-san didn’t look at me strangely from the beginning, and always treated me as an ordinary person. If Toyokawa-san, who is like this, doesn’t deserve the word gentle, then I’m afraid no one else in this world can.”

Toyokawa Shoko was silent for a while before she said, "I only became your guardian for the reward. You and I have only known each other for less than half a day, so it's a little early to make a conclusion now."

"Ah, that's true..."

"But if you want, people with out-of-control abilities can also be heroes."

Ai Yi was stunned for a moment, blinked, then suddenly realized what was happening and lost her voice in surprise: "Huh?!! Is this true?"

"Yes, because heroes in Japan work as a team, so not every member has to have powerful superpowers. Even if you can't use your powers with a superpower suppressor, you can still join the team as a logistics worker." Xiangzi nodded, "Didn't you study at that famous professional hero academy in the UK? I think many teams should be happy to accept you."

It was like being at the end of one's rope, but there was always light at the end of the tunnel. Aine smiled happily, her grey eyes sparkling with joy: "Toyokawa-san, Love! Thank you for telling me this~"

Hero, it turns out I still have a chance to be one!

"It doesn't matter. This is just a small token of my gratitude for your help in treating my wound." Xiangzi held up a finger. "But there is only one thing. Chihaya-san, as your guardian, please promise me."

"what?"

"If you encounter danger, you must put your own life first." The blue-haired girl's eyes were extremely serious, "And never, ever try to become an enemy of AveMujica."

“AveMujica? Why?” Aine blinked, “Does Toyokawa know anything about that criminal organization? Why did you say not to make enemies with them? Is it because of their S-level danger level?”

“Because they will kill anyone who stands in their way.” Toyokawa Shoko stared straight at Aine, “Even if it’s just a support worker who can’t even use his abilities, they will kill him – that’s their resolution.”

Aine shuddered.

"Just remember this." Seeing that Ain had finished bandaging him, Xiangzi stood up and bowed slightly to Ain to express his gratitude, "Thank you for your help, and good night." Then, he left Ain's room without looking back.

…………

"Ah, he ran away."

As soon as she returned to her room, Xiangzi heard a familiar and teasing voice. She looked up and saw a tall girl with short lavender hair lying on her bed, holding a mobile phone and looking at her sideways with a smile in her eyes.

"Yutenji Wakamugi...what are you doing here?" Xiangzi rubbed his brows with a headache, "That's my bed, can you please get down? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by being so arrogant?"

"My special ability can block out noise, so don't change the subject." Ruomai grinned, and rolled around on the bed twice with Xiangzi's pillow in his arms provocatively, and then turned over. "You seem to care a lot about the girl next door? What's going on? Do you see yourself in her who was once full of admiration for heroes?"

"...Why do you care about her?" Xiangzi asked back.

"Of course I care about her, after all, she is number one on my list." Ruomai raised his phone and shook it, and the account name displayed on it was "Meow Mengqin".

She is the beauty blogger that Aiyin has always liked and supported.

Xiangzi frowned: "Tell the truth."

"I'm telling the truth."

"you are lying."

"Yes, I lied. But I'm not like you, saying stupid things like 'They will kill everyone' and 'Never make an enemy of AveMujica'." Ruomai held his chin with both hands, pouted his lips and imitated what Xiangzi said to Aine just now in an exaggerated tone, and then laughed continuously, "Hahaha, when did our Fengchuan classmate pay so much attention to someone in such a roundabout way?"

"I do not have."

"You didn't? But I did." Ruomai sneered, and in the next moment he moved in front of Xiangzi, held the latter's cheek, and forced him to look at him, "You should understand that after what happened today, we can never go back, right?"

She leaned close to Xiangzi's ear and whispered, "Have you forgotten your identity in the game of house? Our beloved captain of AveMujica?"

Rumble.

Thunder rumbled outside the window. The rain started to fall heavily.

"Of course I know." Stepping back, Xiangzi looked directly at the other party and narrowed his eyes. "I never thought that we would have a way out after attacking the Superpower Administration Building. I know this better than anyone else."

"Then what do you think, under this situation and pressure, if I found out that the leader who led me to commit crimes - Lord Oblivionis - was shaken and backed down because of one person, what would I think?" Ruomai spoke slowly with a grim look on his face.

"Ah." Xiangzi sighed and reached out to pull away Ruomai's hand that was holding his face. "I pay attention to her for a reason, and it has nothing to do with emotional reasons."

"Tell me about it?" Ruomai raised his eyebrows.

"Do you know the disaster that happened in London last year?"

"'Dragon'?"

"Yes, in that disaster, an ancient dragon attacked the British Royal Hero Academy. Britain's strongest hero, 'Liu Guang', sacrificed himself to kill the ancient dragon, but half of the academy was destroyed. In the end, only one of 'Liu Guang's' students survived."

"Hmm... If you keep laying the groundwork like this, what do you want to say..."

"Well, Chihaya Aine is the only student who survived. This alone is enough to explain something - she is not simple." Xiangzi said seriously, "We all know the heroes in Tokyo who are threatening us, but Chihaya Aine has a mystery and true strength that makes me have to be vigilant."

"Ha, is it that serious? Isn't she already a person with out-of-control superpowers?" Ruomai was obviously disdainful.

"I've read her file - the assessment and analysis of her abilities before she went to study in London," Xiangzi said. "That kind of ability is terrifying precisely because it could get out of control."

"scary?"

"It's terrifying. So, I'm ready. Micro explosives are in her power suppressor." Xiangzi narrowed his eyes, "If necessary, I will kill her directly by remote control."

"……real or fake?"

"real."

"...You're not going to make up a random reason to fool me, are you?"

"I'm not going to lie to anyone on Ave Mujica about something like this."

Ruomai looked at Xiangzi for a long time with a complicated expression before snorting, "Then I'll just believe you for now."

Her figure gradually became illusory and turned into a bright purple light spot, which dissipated in the air, leaving only the sound of one sentence: "I hope that the captain can discuss this kind of thing with us in advance in the future instead of making decisions alone..."

"Ugh."

Xiangzi covered his face and felt a headache.

Because she didn't know why she didn't tell everyone about this matter at the first time.

…………

“Ah, it seems that Miao Mengqin really won’t be broadcasting live today…” Aiyin finally put the phone down, sank into the pillow and faced the reality.

That Miao Mengqin, the Miao Mengqin who did the live broadcast regardless of rain or shine, actually, actually canceled it!

Ugh.

Just when Aiyin was feeling down, an announcement was made in Miao Mengqin’s fan group.

It’s a lottery, and the winners can get rewards from Meow Mengqin!

Aiyin’s eyes lit up and she immediately entered the lottery.

"Congratulations! [Archangel Anon] won the reward!"

Aine opened her eyes wide.

Hit the jackpot!

She hurriedly checked the specific information.

The reward is, what is the reward…

Eh?

The reward is...
