She lacked love growing up, so she didn't think that just because her parents treated her this way, she would become self-reliant. Her only thought was to receive her parents' care and love.
But how could two people who are like enemies possibly care about each other's children, even if they are their own?
Forced relationships, relationships against one's will, cannot ultimately be repaired by time.
Throughout the journey, Natsumi remained silent, keeping him company. He couldn't help with Shiina Mahiru's situation, nor could he get involved.
All he could do afterward was to stay by her side, share her joy, or comfort her.
Back at the apartment, the two didn't say a word and went home separately.
At lunchtime, unsurprisingly, the angel did not come knocking.
Xia Sheng was too lazy to go out again, so he ate some snacks and planned to eat more in the evening before starting his writing session.
Konosuba is very popular right now, and it's being discussed in various circles. The plot, the characters, the writing style... it's all full of praise.
Some people are suspecting that Xia Xue is an alternate account of some famous author, because it doesn't seem like something a newbie would write.
With so many people reading novels, even those with extensive knowledge can't discern any similarities between Xia Xue's writing style and that of any other renowned author.
Some even suspected that Xia Xue had come from the literature section.
But no one can confirm it.
Xia Xue doesn't even have a public account anymore, so readers can't learn about her even if they want to.
Kuroko wanted to help Natsuo open an official Twitter account, but he planned to wait until the second volume was released.
To maintain the popularity of "Konosuba," releasing a new volume quickly is the best way, and opening an account at that time can also increase its popularity.
The black cat agreed.
She couldn't possibly disagree; she now respected Xia Sheng very much and basically put him first in everything, seeking his opinion whenever possible.
This is a sign of respect for those who are capable.
Time always flies when you're writing. In the afternoon, Xia Sheng felt hungry and stopped.
I checked the time; it was already past four o'clock.
He picked up his phone, ready to go out to buy food, but then noticed unread messages.
It was sent by Yui Hihama: [Natsuo, what are you doing?]
Yui Yuigahama: [Natsuo, can I ask you something?]
Yuigahama Yui: [Natsuo! ]
There were several more entries, all repeating his name, but with more and more exclamation marks.
Savior:[?]
Yui Yuigahama: [What are you doing? Why are you only replying now!]
Savior: [Have you forgotten I was writing a novel? I've been typing away the whole time.]
Yui Yuigahama: [I see... So you wrote the novel "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!"?]
Savior: [You just realized?]
Yui Yuigahama: [Hehe~ I didn't think much of it... but I've already finished reading it, it's so good! I really like this novel.]
Savior: [I'll send you another copy when the second volume comes out.]
Yui Yuigahama: [I can just buy it myself, it'll help increase your sales, right?]
Savior: [I don't need your copy, and besides, what kind of relationship do we have? I'll definitely give it to you.]
Yui Yuigahama: [Hmm... what's our relationship?]
Savior: [Of course, it's a companion who shares hardships.]
Yui Yuigahama: [...]
Savior: [What's wrong?]
Yui Yuigahama: [It's nothing!]
Savior: [Is that so? Then what question did you want to ask me?]
Yuigahama Yui: [Do you have feelings for... Yukinoshita and the others?]
Savior: [What do you mean?]
Yui Yuigahama: [I want...I want to kiss them.]
Savior: [Why would you ask that?]
Yuigahama Yui: [Because... it seems like Yukinoshita is planning to kiss you...]
Savior: [Isn't this all for gaining magic so we can fight side-by-side?]
Yui Yuigahama: [That's true... but...]
Savior: [Don't you want Yukinoshita and the others to have the ability to protect themselves? What if they encounter danger?]
Yui Yuigahama: [Of course I wouldn't think that way. I hope they're doing well, and that we can always be friends.]
Savior: [So that's why.]
Yui Yuigahama: [But...]
Savior: [There's nothing I can do about it, but you were my first kiss.]
Yui Yuigahama: [Eh? Really?]
Savior: [I'm not kidding.]
Yui Yuigahama: [I see.]
Yui Yuigahama, who was lying in bed at home holding her phone, couldn't help but laugh when she saw Natsuo's message.
I was incredibly happy.
Savior: [I don't want anything to happen to you. I, like you, want to be with you forever, so this is something that must be done.]
Yui Yuigahama: [I know, it's okay, it's alright now.]
Savior: [Really? That's good. I'll go buy dinner.]
Yui Yuigahama: [Eh? Shouldn't Shiina make another one for you?]
Savior: [She has something on her mind and no time to do it.]
Yui Yuigahama: [So...should I learn more about cooking from my mom?]
Savior: [Learn if you want, just be happy. The cookies you gave me last time were delicious. I believe you can do it.]
Yui Yuigahama: [That time... I asked my mom for help and did it many times before I got that result...]
Savior: [It tastes good, I believe you.]
Yui Yuigahama: [Okay, I understand! I want to learn to cook from Mom!]
Savior: [Good luck, but get some rest today, school starts tomorrow.]
Yui Yuigahama: [Okay~ See you tomorrow.]
Savior: [Yeah, see you tomorrow. Hopefully we'll still be in the same class.]
Yui Yuigahama: [I hope so too!]
After finishing his chat with Yui Yuigahama, Natsuo breathed a sigh of relief.
She was successfully calmed down.
But she's too easily fooled.
This shows that she is a bit naive.
He must protect such an innocent girl.
Putting away his phone, Natsumi left the room, went outside, and arrived at Shiina Mahiru's house.
He wanted to ask her if she wanted to go to the supermarket together.
But when he knocked on the door, no one answered for a long time.
I knocked on the door again and waited for a while, but there was still no response.
Xia Sheng took out his phone and asked.
Savior: [Where have you been?]
She replied shortly after.
Shiina Mahiru: [I'm going back to my old home.]
Chapter 92 My senior also calls me Iroha.
April 7th, Monday, the first day of school.
Xia Sheng changed into his summer uniform, which he hadn't worn for half a month, and went to school alone.
Shiina Mahiru did not come back last night.
Xia Sheng asked her about the situation last night, but she did not reply.
It seems like this isn't a good outcome.
He was a little worried about her, so he went to the school early to check on her.
Xia Sheng could only hope that she would come to school to register on the first day of school.
Along the way, Xia Sheng met many students, including his classmates, seniors, and freshmen.
A new semester brings a fresh start; everyone's face is radiant with energy and their eyes are full of anticipation.
Xia Sheng didn't run into any acquaintances or see anyone he knew; he arrived at Jingxiu Martial Arts High School all by himself.
When he arrived at the school gate, he realized he was already late. There were many students and parents both inside and outside the school gate.
It's not just new students; there are also many returning students.
Come to think of it, with the new semester requiring class assignments, everyone will definitely want to come early to check which new class they'll be in.
By the way, I'm looking forward to being in the same class as a good friend or someone I've been thinking about.
Moreover, there is an opening ceremony today, and we need to gather at the gymnasium.
Just as Xia Sheng was about to look for someone he knew, a lively and familiar voice reached his ears.
"Senior? It really is you!"
Natsuo turned his head and saw Isshiki Iroha waving excitedly as she ran towards him.
Behind her followed Mrs. Isshiki.
"Senior, it's been a long time! Did you miss me?" Iroha Isshiki approached Natsuo, blinked her eyes, and asked playfully.
"Auntie, it's been a long time." Xia Sheng ignored her and nodded to Mrs. Isshiki in greeting.
"Natsu-kun, it's been a long time! You haven't come to my house to play in ages." Mrs. Isshiki walked over, one hand touching her face, her smile gentle.
"Well... I've been quite busy lately," Xia Sheng made up an excuse.
"Busy? Aren't you on vacation?"
"I'm working, so..."
"Oh, I see. That must have been very tiring."
"It's alright..."
"Senior!" Isshiki Iroha was displeased.
Xia Sheng looked at her and found her puffed up, almost like a pufferfish: "What's wrong?"
"You actually asked me what's wrong? Why are you ignoring me!" Isshiki Iroha questioned in dissatisfaction.
"Didn't I already acknowledge you?"
"You... Hmph! It's only been a short time, and you've already stopped caring about me, senior! You started something and then abandoned me!"
"...Don't talk nonsense, Auntie is here." Xia Sheng said with a twitching mouth.
