They all have special skills

"But there's no need to worry too much. Perhaps it's just a coincidence of misfortune."

Not wanting to make Kasumigaoka Utaha too worried, Shimizukawa spoke to comfort her.

But because she was unaware of her two equally dangerous encounters in the morning, such comfort was of little use.

"But why me?"

“That may not be the right idea.”

Qingshuichuan leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling in the room.

"Perhaps right now, somewhere else in the world, there are people experiencing the same thing as you, but it's just out of our sight, so we have no way of knowing."

Looking at his relaxed and calm face, Kasumigaoka also felt calm for some reason.

"That's true. Others may not be so lucky as to have Mr. Knight come to their aid when they encounter danger."

"I prefer the title of hero to the title of knight."

"Then, let's compromise and decide on the prince."

"What kind of compromise is this?"

Kasumigaoka ignored Shimizugawa's complaints.

She slowly came to Qingshuichuan, put her hands on the armrests on both sides of the chair, leaned close to his ear, and whispered in his ear,

"It's a deal then. If I'm ever in danger again, I'll have to trouble you, Your Highness, to come to my rescue again."

Stop saying that embarrassing and shameful name! This isn't a medieval play!

But even so, smelling the subtle fragrance emanating from the girl and looking at her cute pink earlobes so close to him, Qingshuichuan still turned his face to the side and nodded slowly under the gaze of the girl's charming wine-red pupils.

I just wanted to tease him on a whim, but why is my heart beating so fast at this moment?

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't understand why this happened, and she avoided thinking about it any further.

"Think carefully about your prophetic dream. Are there any additional clues?"

Qingshuichuan pretended to think, and after a moment of silence, he slowly shook his head.

Kasumigaoka let out a long sigh, his eyes gradually becoming lonely.

"Does this mean I have to be extremely vigilant and careful with everything I do in my life from now on?"

If you think about it carefully, you never know when danger will come and you need to be on your toes all the time. It is not an exaggeration to call this experience torture.

"Will not."

Shimizukawa's subconscious answer caused Kasumigaoka's worried expression to pause, and she looked over instantly.

He immediately realized that his words were too absolute, so he quickly tried to make amends.

"What I mean is...good and bad are interdependent. It's impossible for someone to be lucky all the time, and it's impossible for someone to be unlucky all the time. So, you don't have to worry so much, senior sister. Maybe after you wake up tonight, your life will return to normal."

A boy who speaks nicely will not have bad relationships with the opposite sex.

At least now, Kasumigaoka's favorability towards him is indeed steadily increasing.

"Then I'll lend you some good advice."

----

After a hard day's work, Xia's father returned home in the evening.

After seeing an extra pair of shoes at the entrance, he curiously asked his wife who was busy in the kitchen.

"Are there guests at home?"

"Yes, Shiyu's classmate."

"Male classmate?"

Although there are more men's shoes at the entrance, and the shoe sizes look quite large, what if there is a girl with a strong body who likes to wear men's shoes?

"Yeah, he's a boy, and he's quite handsome."

Xia's father's face suddenly turned pale.

"Where are they?"

"He went back to his room. Shiyu said she had something important to discuss."

"What can't be discussed in the living room?"

"Why are you talking so loudly!"

Startled, Xia's mother turned around and gave her husband a reproachful look.

"Why should I care so much about what happens between young people?"

"But no matter what... Shiyu being alone in a room with a male classmate... isn't that good? Why aren't you worried at all?"

"Don't worry, I know my daughter well."

The more calm Xia's mother seemed, the more anxious Xia's father seemed.

"Don't stand here and get in the way. Dinner is almost ready. Go and call them down to wash their hands and eat."

"Ah good!"

Xia's father quickly turned around and did as he was told.

After that, Shimizukawa was taken downstairs by Kasumigaoka. After politely greeting Kasumiga's father, he came to the dining table.

"Just sit here."

Kasumigaoka took the initiative to pull out a chair for Shimizukawa and sat it next to herself.

"Senior...what happened to uncle?"

Qing Shuichuan picked up the bowl and chopsticks and noticed that Xia's father looked listless and distraught, so he leaned close to Xia Zhiao's ear and asked softly.

"Maybe I'm too tired after a day of work."

Kasumigaoka knew that Shimizukawa had an injury on his hand, so she took the initiative to help him pick up food, and almost fed him directly.

puff!

The old father, who was already seriously injured, saw his own cabbages growing out of the ground and being fed into other people's mouths.

At this moment, it felt like the sky was falling.

"...You guys eat first."

When Xia's father stood up and left, Xia Zhiqiu finally felt something was wrong. She looked at Xia's mother.

"Mom, Dad..."

"It's okay, it's okay. I guess things just went wrong at work. You guys eat your food. Oh, by the way! I also made beef stew in red wine. It's been cooking for so long, it should be ready by now."

Xia's mother put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up.

Shimizukawa ate the homemade food that he hadn't eaten for a long time with big mouthfuls, feeling very satisfied.

[Warning! Planar Erosion!]

[Kitchen! Dangerous!!!]

“Puff…cough…cough cough!”

Qingshuichuan choked because of the system that suddenly popped up.

The extremely concise and oversized words indicate that this is the first time.

Realizing the critical situation, Shimizukawa had no time to deal with his own embarrassment, nor did he care about the tissue that Kasumigaoka handed to him with concern.

Xia's mother, who had stood up in the middle of the meal, was almost at the kitchen door.

He called out to her in the simplest way possible,

"do not move!!!"

Xia's mother was so frightened by him that she shuddered and stopped.

The moment she stopped, the pressure cooker in the kitchen, which had been silent for five minutes, suddenly made a loud "bang"!

The power of the explosion caused the iron sheet to shatter into pieces, boiling juice splashed everywhere, and billowing heat spread in the kitchen!

"...!"

Xia Mu's legs softened and she slowly slid down to sit on the ground.

"mom!"

Kasumigaoka reacted and rushed straight to her mother.

…………

Volume 1: Chapter 12 The intention of the attack is too obvious~

At seven o'clock, it was completely dark.

In the park, Kasumigaoka Utaha was sitting on a bench.

After leaving the house, she kept her head down and remained silent.

Just now, because of Qingshuichuan's timely shouting to stop her, Xia's mother stopped at the critical moment and did not enter the kitchen, thus avoiding the most terrible consequences!

After that, Xia's father, who had gone upstairs, also hurried down. After finding out that it was the pressure cooker in the kitchen that exploded, he turned off the main gas valve.

But just in case, he contacted the fire department.

After the fire department arrived, they called professionals working in the gas industry to check at home to see if the explosion had left any hidden dangers in the gas transmission pipeline.

Kasumigaoka used the excuse that the house was too crowded and messy to go out and relax.

But in reality, she wanted to get away from her family.

She vaguely realized that it was because of her that the dangerous accident in the kitchen happened.

Qing Shuichuan, who was standing silently by the side, looked at her worriedly.

He felt resentful, blaming himself for being careless, and also annoyed at the stupid system for not giving him a prompt earlier, making the situation so critical every time.

If I had reacted a little slower, wouldn't Aunt Kasumigaoka be in danger?

If such a consequence really happens, how will Senior Kasumigaoka deal with it?

But on second thought, it is already remarkable that it can issue an early warning before a crisis occurs.

After all, it is a useless system, and we really can't have high expectations for it.

"It's all because of me... right?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly spoke

Because she kept her head down, Qingshuichuan couldn't observe her specific expression.

However, judging from her weak tone, she must be uneasy and full of self-blame at the moment.

Qingshuichuan took a deep breath and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"Senior, you are right. It's not even anyone's fault."

Kasumigaoka chuckled.

"But this is the reality, isn't it? The danger that originally only happened to me has now begun to spread to the people around me. Who will be next, Dad? Or...you?"

"..."

I can’t stand it. Do all novelists like to have such wild thoughts?

So much inner drama?

The next moment, Qingshuichuan seemed to have made up his mind. He sat down next to Kasumigaoka, put his hands on her shoulders, and forced her to face him.

"Senior, you're just overthinking things. What's important is the present, not the future you think you're going to have. At this stage, you're safe and sound, and Auntie just had a near miss, and no one was hurt. Isn't this the best possible outcome?"

Kasumigaoka's dark eyes brightened after hearing these words.

But the next moment she turned her head and saw the wound on Qingshuichuan's hand, then she looked down and saw the gauze on his knee.

The faint light that finally came on was quickly extinguished like a candle in the wind.
