Why play in a band if you don't form one for life?

Shizi's mouth twitched: "Is it something difficult for you...Why did you come to me? Is there something wrong with Sayo?"

"Of course my sister is waiting over there too." Hinata looked at her strangely, "It's just that I want to see little Shiko."

Shizi coughed violently, turned around immediately and covered his face.

"Little Shizi?" Hina leaned closer curiously and found Shizi muttering to himself at a high speed.

"I can't let Ichiri down, I can't let Kita down, I can't let Ichiri down, I can't let Kita down... Ah, the sandwich is delicious, meow... No, I can't let Ichiri down, I can't let Kita down..."

Hinai smiled slyly, leaned close to Shizi's ear, and whispered softly: "Little Shizi...just watch me carefully when the time comes..."

"Ah——!" Shizi was startled and screamed "LOCK". He rushed forward and actually broke the glass and fell outside.

Lian Ricai had not expected this development. She was stunned for a moment, and when she leaned over, she found that Shizi had disappeared.

Outside the door, PAREO, who appeared out of nowhere, breathed a sigh of relief and turned away.

"...So, this is why you're here with glass shards all over your body and your hair messy like a honeycomb?" LAYER didn't know how to evaluate the person in front of him.

Shizi was still taking out the glass shards bit by bit. Every time she took out a bit, a faint light would appear to mend the wound. But she finally got impatient and gave up. Her whole body exploded into a T shape, and a new body appeared on the chair, with a serious face: "Um, Sister LAYER..."

"I'm the same age as you..." LAYER said habitually, and then immediately reacted, "No, I am indeed older than you... Go on."

"Well. Sister LAYER, I want to borrow your knife." Shizi said.

LAYER reached out and took the knife without any concern and handed it to Shizi: "Okay, but what are you going to do?"

"I remember that in the Garden of Eden, you are half of the sword spirit of this sword, right?" Shizi stretched out a finger. "I want to try, can I jump over there through this sword now, to see how the Fire Road was built, and whether I can build it."

"Is it okay?" LAYER opened his eyes wide, a little surprised.

"We have to try." Shizi smiled slightly, "After all, that's what I said yesterday."

As she spoke, she grasped the hilt of the sword. The next moment, her figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only the sword swaying, about to fall to the ground, but LAYER quickly held it up.

"I see." LAYER's expression changed, seeming a little bitter, but soon relieved, "At least, I was able to help."

When Shizi came back, it was already time for dinner.

In the LAYER room, the spirit sword trembled, and a crack opened in the void next to it, and Shizi emerged from it: "I'm back - no one?"

She went out and looked around, and everything was quiet.

"That's right, they wanted to invite me to stay for dinner..." She muttered to herself and walked to the bar.

Sure enough, everyone is here.

In the night-themed bar, a gentle tune was playing. The tune came from a small speaker brought from the desert camp. In the melody, everyone sat at two tables, each sitting around a hot pot. The hot pot slowly emitted pure white smoke, which spread out like a dance above the table.

The table on the left was occupied by the Jiujiu Group and Poppin'Party, and the rest of the people were seated at the table on the right, splitting the table in half. In the boiling water, white jade-like tofu and red crab legs floated, with green cabbage leaves and green onions resting on top, and the beef and mutton were cooked soon after being put into the pot and picked away.

Maya and Kuro sat upright, each holding a crab leg. Futaba and Kaori seemed much more casual. While Futaba was talking, Kaori secretly put the unwanted green onions in her bowl into Futaba's bowl. Karen and Hikari were still eating with lots of soup. Mahiru complained while cleaning up for them with a smile. Junna was wiping her glasses that were fogged up by the heat. The five people from Popipa were still sitting together lively. Kasumi and Karen were the two most noisy at one table, making the atmosphere here much hotter than at the other table.

When they saw Shizi, they all raised their empty hands as a greeting.

"Thank you for your hard work." Nana came over with a plate of banana pudding, "I made this extra."

"Thank you." Shizi took one. Nana carried the plate and went to the two dining tables.

"Little Shizi, come here, come here." Kita waved to Shizi, "All the lunch I left for you is wasted, come quickly, don't let the dinner get cold."

"Coming, coming--" Shizi hurried over and sat down between Ichiri and Kita.

Kita's bowl was mainly filled with healthy vegetables, while her bowl was filled with meat. But at least she was eating fresh meat. I don't know what CHU? from next door was thinking, but his bowl was filled with beef jerky that had been blanched in a hot pot, and he ate it with relish. PAREO had a hard time dealing with the large amount of cilantro that CHU? had allocated to her. Lisa held the bowl and was about to feed Yukina, but she was avoided with a blushing face. Saya kept a distance from them and stared at the boiled potatoes in the bowl with Hina. Saya hadn't spoken yet, but Hina was muttering something like "Why boil potatoes when they should be fried into French fries?" Ako was making patterns with leftover bones and crab legs, and Rinko was paying attention to her, occasionally revealing a smile that she herself didn't even notice.

"Welcome home." Yili said softly as soon as he sat down.

Shizi was stunned for a moment, then smiled easily: "I'm back."

"It seems like Xiaoyi is not used to this kind of talk." Kita teased from the side.

Yili's face was redder than the beef in her chopsticks. She stopped talking and just stuffed the beef into the pot.

Hong Xia came over and added a spoonful of soup to Shi Zi's bowl, which had already cooled down a little. "Next time you want to go out, let me know as usual. We know you are stronger than anyone else now, but we are still a little worried."

"Sorry, sorry." Shizi took a sip of soup, "But I have achieved some results. I will go out occasionally and fill the whole world with our resurrection points!"

Youxina was a little surprised: "You can do this... I feel much more relieved."

"Well... then how should we reward little Shizi?" Hina suddenly appeared behind Shizi, her eyes suddenly lit up, "If it's little Eve, then it will be--"

She hugged Xiao Shizi tightly, and before the people around her could react, she disappeared quickly, and no one knew where she went.

The scene of ice and fire interweaving was keenly captured by Nana.

She put down her phone, looking a little nostalgic: "Eating hot pot together like this feels like something I've experienced before."

"That was the time, wasn't it?" Mahiru said beside him, "When Karen-chan was still rescuing Hikaru, we ate hot pot together and waited for them to come back."

"As a result, it was almost cold when we came back." Hua Lian also recalled.

"This time is about the same as that time." Nana suddenly felt a little lonely, "Everyone, I'm sorry for this period of time."

"Non non dayo, banana!" Hua Lian raised her hand, "We should thank you!"

"Thanks to Ohba-san, we haven't had to fight monsters for a long time." Maya said.

“It also brings authentic French pastries from reality,” added Clo.

"It was Nana who saved us in the ruins back then," said Futaba.

Kasumi scooped a spoonful of pudding: "It's delicious!"

"I can't tell whether you're referring to this pudding or all the banana snacks when you say that in this situation..." Yusaki complained, "But... Ohba-san has indeed been taking care of us in various ways."

“Everyone…” Nana was a little moved.

"Besides, we will still have to rely on Nana for many things in the future," Shizi said from behind, "I'm sure what I make won't be as good as the high-end goods in reality."

"Wait - first explain to me when you became so close to Hina-senpai -"

"It's more than good..." PAREO said to himself in despair.

A passionate fight.

Nana turned her head back to a smile: "Okay, then I'll try my best to help more."

ps: It’s so strange… I’m tired of wrapping a dumpling for several chapters, but I can still write so many…

Chapter 22: There Can't Be Two Saturing Actors in the Same Scene

"...Are you sure it's here?" Shizi leaned on the porthole and looked at the empty desert below.

"It wasn't like this the last time I came, but it is indeed here." Xiaoguang said expressionlessly.

It was only the second day since we left the camp.

However, they were already flying deep into the desert, an unknown distance away from their original location.

Since the 99 group mentioned the existence of a ruin, they naturally had to go explore it again. The last time the 99 group went to that place, they relied on Xiaoguang's space gate. So this time Xiaoguang was the guide, and Shizi and Nana opened the space gate together to let the airship enter, but they ended up in a deserted place.

Shizi had a "=w=" face and thought carefully, and confirmed that although they both liked jellyfish, Xiaoguang was not as directionally challenged as Kanon.

"Hmm..." Nana looked around, "This should be the place we've been to before... Based on my intuition."

"How did you find the entrance last time?" Shizi asked.

"I saw it directly on the ground." Nana gestured with her hands, "But when I came out, I seemed to have dismantled the entire exit."

"I accidentally said something incredible." Shizi looked around carefully again, "Could it be that the ruins are buried under the sand? Let me see... Explosion!"

A mushroom cloud immediately rose over the desert, and a thin film rose to offset the shock wave.

Xiaoguang looked at Shizi, opened his mouth to speak, but said nothing.

"Just say whatever you want to say, Xiaoguang." Shizi encouraged.

"..." Xiaoguang hesitated for a long time, "I want to say... you said it was amazing, but you did the same thing as Nana."

Shizi opened his eyes wide.

"Although it's just a simple complaint," she looked into Xiaoguang's eyes, "but Xiaoguang can actually complain! This is a cute contrast!"

Xiaoguang immediately dodged behind Nana and said, "I don't do that."

Shizi froze in place.

"My image..." She looked at Nana pitifully.

Nana smiled in response.

Shizi gave up struggling and turned to look outside. The smoke and dust had dispersed a little, and there was a deep pit on the ground that had not yet cooled down. There was no trace of any man-made structure in it.

"Am I too shy?" Kasumi leaned against the porthole and looked out.

"What kind of logic did you use to come to the conclusion that relics are as shy as humans." Shizi looked to the side, "And when did you come? The way you appeared was as if the author was too lazy to explain how you appeared!"

"Let's cheer them up and make Miss Entrance show up!" Kasumi ignored her and came up with a solution on her own.

"Don't anthropomorphize her." Shizi's brows twitched. "And how dare you assume her gender?"

Hikaru nodded firmly, "Let's do it. Let her out."

“We all have to work hard!” Nana raised her hand to cheer herself up.

"Am I the only normal person here..." Shizi held his forehead with his hand.

At this moment, another sound came from the door: "What a big noise - what happened?"

Shiko turned around and saw Arisaki.

She immediately straightened her expression: "Everyone, prepare to land."

"So what happened?" Arisaki said seriously, "Enemy attack?"

Shizi solemnly declared, "We are going to try to get Miss Ruins Entrance to get rid of her shyness and come forward."

"Huh?" Arisaki's expression was only one of confusion.

"...Didn't Xiao Shizi say that you were the only normal person here?" Lian Nana didn't react.

"We don't need two people who make fun of us in one situation," Shiko proudly flicked her hair, "In other words, that's it - now the only normal person is Arisaki!"

"...Huh?" This time, everyone let out a confused "Huh?"

After a shake, the airship landed steadily in the desert.

"...This is what happened." Shizi solemnly recounted what happened to everyone, "Please raise your hands if you are willing to participate."

"Why am I so embarrassed to stand on her side..." Yusaki murmured with his back hunched, "No one should be so stupid..."

Hinata raised her hands high in the air, "Me, me, me! That sounds gross!"

"It's true!" Yousaki's face darkened.

"I want it too." Duohui walked out seriously, although her aura made it difficult for people to feel serious. "We need to cheer up that lady."

Rimi looked at it and raised her hand weakly: "Then I'll come too..."

"Me too!" Sha Ling raised her hand in amusement.

"What the hell is popipa..." CHU? complained in a low voice, and Arisaki heard it.

"(Yes, that's right! Finally someone is complaining!)" Yusaki was so moved that she was about to cry.

LAYER raised his hand at this time: "Since Xiaohua is coming, then I want to come too."

“(RAS isn’t that normal!)” Arisaki and CHU? roared in their hearts at the same time.

From then on, the girls in the band joined Shizi's camp either voluntarily, because they thought it was fun, or because they were forced to do so.

"(The band girl has fallen, then the stage girl...)" Yusaki looked towards Seixiang with the last hope.

Maya took a step forward: "Since I am a stage girl, I will present the most perfect stage!"

“(Is there any connection between this reason and what you are going to do!)” Yusaki was desperate.

As expected, next, Clo stepped out: "Humph, don't think you're the only one!"

"I'm also a stage girl." Xiangzi also got excited!

"I will never lose to Xiangzi!" Futaba also developed a strange sense of competition!

As for Hualian, she ran to Xiaoguang's side from the beginning.

Junna looked around and before she knew it, there was no one around her.
