Ordinary people can also be the protagonist in a comic strip

"Would you like a cup of coffee, Miss Hanabishi Haruka?"

Faced with the devastated camp after the war, Lorraine poured two cups of steaming hot coffee from the coffee pot beside the campfire, and handed one of them to Hanabishi Haruka who was sitting on a small stool.

"Ah, thank you Mr. Lorraine."

He took it very politely.

Hua Lingyao held the steaming cup of coffee in her hand, feeling the warmth of Lorraine who also came over and sat down beside her. Finally, she looked at the afterglow of the setting sun which was about to completely set, and couldn't help but smile for no reason.

Lorraine looked at her in confusion, not understanding what she was laughing at.

The fiery gaze naturally attracted Hua Lingyao's attention, causing her to look at Lorraine for a moment, then shyly avoid his gaze, lower her head slightly, and rub her legs together a few times.

But then, she spoke.

"The scenery here is really beautiful, Mr. Lorraine."

"You mean this miserable camp with its devastated grounds and shell holes everywhere?"

"Ah no no no..."

Hua Ling Haruka shook her hands desperately and laughed awkwardly a few times, "I just want to say that the sunset and city scenery seen from here are really beautiful. I don't mean anything bad."

Lorraine also laughed.

"Okay, I know this. Don't be nervous. If you hadn't experienced the fierce battle just now, the scenery from here would be really beautiful."

"Has Mr. Lorraine always lived here?"

"Well, that's right."

"I see, no wonder I can't find you."

"Ms. Hanahishi Haruka is looking for me?"

"That's right. I really tried hard to find you, Mr. Lorraine, on the street every day, but I didn't expect that you would hide on this deserted mountainside. No wonder I worked so hard to find you for such a long time but found nothing."

"What does Miss Hanabishi Haruka want me to do?"

"Just call me Xiaoyao, hehe, it's okay if you don't have to be so formal."

Facing the enthusiastic Haruka Hanabishi.

Lorraine was straightforward.

"Then Xiaoyao, you can just call me Lorraine. No need to add Mr. to it."

"about this……"

"Ok?"

"I'm the one... Can I also call you Mr. Luo Lin... Can I call you Brother Lin?"

"what?"

"Ah, no, no, no..., I don't mean anything special, I just think..., this name is more smooth to say, and it's also quite intimate." Feeling the sound of her heart beating faster and faster, Hua Ling Haruka blushed, raised her head shyly and asked, "Um, is it okay? ~"

Lorraine felt a little embarrassed being looked at like this.

He scratched his head and replied with a smile.

"It's just a name, Xiaoyao, you can call me whatever you want."

Hearing that the other party actually agreed, Hanabi Haruka was overjoyed.

Immediately answered.

"Thank you, Brother Lin! Hehe."

"What's there to thank for this?"

"It's incredible. I've been looking for you for such a long time, but I didn't expect to meet you, Brother Lin, in this way."

"Yeah, I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

"I was looking for you on the street when I suddenly sensed the presence of an evil organization, so I transformed and rushed over. Fortunately, I stopped the evil organization [Enolmida] before the situation got worse. However... I didn't expect that in the end, a magical girl like me would become the one being protected. I'm really ashamed to say this, haha."

The one who came to save others becomes the one being saved.

Hua Ling Haruka felt that if this matter were to get out, they, the magical girls, would be laughed to death.

but……

Surprisingly not annoying.

And this feeling of being protected...

This experience.

Still the first time.

-

Think of this.

Hualing Haruka felt that the coffee cup in her hand was even warmer. She took it and took a sip. It was sweet and really delicious.

The sweetness in my mouth gradually blends into my heart.

At this moment, Hualing Haruka couldn't help but smile happily.

And when her eyes looked to the side.

Lorraine happened to be drinking coffee as well. The brilliant afterglow of the setting sun shone on his body, as if he was covered with the most perfect filter. He looked so sparkling that Hua Ling Yao was stunned without realizing it.

Then he thought of the previous battle in which the other party was able to defeat an entire army of monsters by himself.

Hua Ling Haruka couldn't help but feel extremely curious about the man in front of her.

What kind of person is he?

I want to know more about him and everything about him.

"?"

At this moment, Lorraine seemed to have noticed her burning gaze on him. He turned his head curiously and gave her a symbolic polite smile.

Unexpectedly, Hua Ling Haruka seemed to have been electrocuted. She instantly avoided the gaze and buried her face in her hands.

Where Lorraine couldn't see, her face was so red that it looked like water was about to drip out.

Woohoo...

what's up?

Even Hanabishi Haruka herself didn't know why she suddenly became so shy. Was it because it was the first time she was with a man like this?

-

I see that Hanabishi Haruka is acting strangely.

Lorraine asked proactively.

"Xiaoyao, are you okay?"

"Hey! Ahahaha, I'm fine, of course I'm fine."

"You look a little strange, are you injured in the battle just now?"

"No, that's not the case. I'm fine. It's really nothing."

"Is that so? That's good. If you're hurt somewhere, don't force it. Be sure to tell me right away."

"I see."

Feeling the other person's care, Hualing Haruka also knew that she couldn't always be like this, as it was rare for them to finally meet.

She has to cheer up!

After regaining her spirit, Hualing Haruka smiled and asked Lorraine.

"Come to think of it, Brother Lin, why did you hide from us? You left without permission after the battle. Is there something you can't tell us?"

"Um, this..."

"Also, that evil organization's female cadre, Magiya, is so evil. Why would she target you, Brother Lin? Is there any grudge between you two?"

“These things are a long story.”

"Okay, I get it now."

"What do you know?"

"Brother Lin, you must have been targeted by that villain because you helped us before, right? And Brother Lin, you didn't want to implicate us, so you decided to take on everything by yourself, and even moved to this desolate place in the mountains. This is also to avoid affecting innocent people when fighting the enemy, right?"

"what?"

Lorraine was originally thinking about making up some reasonable lies, but he didn't expect the other party to help him fill the loophole directly.

This made him feel a little amused and helpless, so he just accepted the kindness.

"That's pretty much the case."

"In order to protect the entire city, even when facing a powerful evil organization, he is willing to stand up and fight against the evil villains. He is really like a hero of justice."

"Xiaoyao, I'm just an ordinary person, not a hero."

"It doesn't matter. At least in my heart, Brother Lin is already a handsome hero comparable to our magical girl. Not only did you protect the peace of the city from the bad guys of the evil organization, but you also protected me, a magical girl. I think in the whole world, I'm afraid Brother Lin is the only one who can do this."

The generous praise made Lorraine feel a little embarrassed.

Although it was essentially a complete misunderstanding on the other side, Lorraine couldn't say anything at this point.

Since the other party prefers this fact, Lorraine will follow her wishes and really treat it as such.

only……

Looking at the other person's innocent, kind and warm smile.

Lorraine couldn't help but sigh.

"As expected, seeing is believing, Magical Girl Magia Magenta, Xiaoyao, you are really a more lovely and interesting girl than the rumors say."

"Eh???"

Lorraine's subtext is to express that this girl is so innocent and kind that it is worrying, giving people the feeling that she is very easy to deceive.

however--

When his words reached Hualing Haruka's heart, they seemed to be instantly tainted with countless flavors of ambiguity and love.

Especially when you hear the other person praise you for being cute and interesting so directly.

Hua Lingyao was so nervous that she turned around and faced Luo Lin with her back. The shyness of a young girl was all over her face...

Woohoo, why do you suddenly say something like that?

Isn't this super embarrassing?

If she remembers correctly...

When a boy specifically says something like this to a girl, could it be a hint of that kind of meaning?

Why is this!

This was clearly just the first day we officially met.

no no no...

This progress is really too fast!

Hua Ling Yao felt that she needed to explain clearly... She was not that kind of girl who acted casually, especially for something like this, it was necessary for them to truly understand each other, and then slowly... gradually enhance their feelings, and finally confess their love to each other at a romantic fireworks party, and finally have a successful relationship.

Well, this is the normal development, right?

Think of this.

Hualing Haruka tried hard to muster up her courage, responded with a friendly smile, and spoke.

"Brother Lin, I think we should take this matter slowly. After all, you see... we just met and don't know each other very well, so don't say this casually."

"???"

Luo Lin had no idea what she was saying, but it didn't matter. "It's getting late, Xiaoyao, I'll take you home."

"Hey, are you going to send me back now?"

"Why, you still want to stay here? The sun will set in a little while. By then, it will be pitch dark in the wilderness. Do you want to stay in my camp overnight?"

Lorraine joked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Hua Ling Haruka blushed and waved her hand.

"I'm not the kind of girl who would just stay out overnight. I understand. I'll go back now."

"I send you."

"Don't be so polite, it's okay."

"I'm not worried about you being alone."

"Haha, Brother Lin, don't forget, I'm a magical girl."
