"So, Zejun, are you thinking about something?" Glass asked softly, shaking.

"...Is there?" Su Ze did not comment and took sips of his beer.

"You have been worried since just now..." There seemed to be a slight blush on Glass's face, and she tilted her head to look at him.

"That may be the case. I've been feeling a little tired lately..." Su Ze rubbed his swollen head.

"What are you thinking about? Can you tell me?" Glass sat up straight, facing the direction of the singer, and no longer looked at Su Ze.

"Some things in the past ~ former good friends ~ and a few of us..." Su Ze spoke slowly and gently.

"'The past' means something that happened a long time ago, right?" The reflection of the wine glass flashed in Glass's eyes. The surface of the wine in the can was swirling slowly, as if it had been swaying for a very long time.

"……Um."

"That's it."

"What about 'us'?" She seemed to be asking questions.

Su Ze placed both his hands on the table, and faced forward, not looking at Xiaozi. However, their shoulders were still very close, almost touching if they moved a little.

"A few of us..." Su Ze spoke hesitantly, perhaps because he was a little tipsy. "A few of us, it seems that it's nothing."

The tinkling sound of the singing girl knocking on the bowls served as the accompaniment. Gojo Satoru was whispering something in his sleep.

"After all, we have always been together, in the past and now..." Su Ze said slowly.

"What about the 'future'?" Glass couldn't help but think of the scene in the illusion.

"In the future~" Su Ze shook his head gently, "It should be possible in the future. If not, then I will try my best to make it happen--"

"Hmmmm~"

"I'm a little curious, what do you think of us? About our relationships and personalities." Glass pointed at the Utahime, Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru and herself in turn.

She continued, "After all, Japan is not where you belong. I always feel that you will miss home occasionally..."

Su Ze was stunned, then chuckled and said, "Of course I still think about the things over there occasionally - there is an old saying in Dayan, 'If one does not return to his hometown when he is rich and powerful, it is like walking in brocade clothes at night, who would know it?'" He smiled and explained the meaning to Glass.

"But in my opinion, the people and things at the moment are the ones I should cherish the most." Su Ze then gave the answer that had already existed in his heart.

Glass's words were obscure, but both of them were so smart that they could understand the metaphor with just a little guidance.

Glass gently tapped the beer can with his fingertips without saying a word.

"As for my opinion of you all——" Su Ze showed a strange smile, "In my opinion, you are all important partners."

He glanced at Glass and found that she was indeed frowning slightly to express her dissatisfaction - this obviously perfunctory "standard answer" should not appear in such a heart-to-heart talk at this time.

Su Ze smiled and waved his hand to apologize. After a few chuckles, he said, "Senior Songstress is straightforward and simple. Even though her talent as a sorcerer is not as good as the three of us, as long as she maintains this character, I think it will not be difficult for her to leave..."

Glass held her chin with her hand and tilted her head to look at him, listening quietly.

"Satoru's mentality should be the best, and he is a genius among geniuses in terms of spells - but in my opinion, he is a little slow sometimes. Is it because the six eyes can easily collect all the information, which makes him lack the ability to feel emotions?"

Su Ze couldn't help laughing: "Although this is just a small problem, I am just a little worried - just worrying about nothing... Is it possible that such a small mistake will lead to irreparable regrets?"

Su Ze's eyes seemed to become a little hazy, and a faint Qi was lingering around him.

"Jie is the most thoughtful among us. He should also think the most deeply - he seems a bit mature beyond his years." Su Ze said jokingly.

Glass also smiled. She also remembered that on weekdays, Geto Suguru always looked calm and confident. Perhaps it was only when he was with Gojo Satoru that he showed some of his boyish nature; the other time was when his iconic bangs were laughed at.

"...But I'm a little worried about him." Su Ze added, "Smart people's thinking is a powerful tool for solving problems, but it is also likely to become a hook that trips them up."

Glass remained silent, wanting to take another sip of beer, but found that the aluminum can in her hand was empty. So she leaned forward slightly and took out the half-full bottle of beer from the singer's arms.

The singer, who had just finished playing several songs, was sleeping soundly on the table, and she and Gojo-san would push each other's faces from time to time.

"Hey, Ze-kun - could you please send the singer senior back?" Glass started fighting with the second bottle of beer, and suddenly asked while supporting her face.

Su Ze blinked and looked at Glass.

"I'll help you clear the table~" Glass said with a smile.

……

"Okay, senior Geji, stop howling. We're almost at the dormitory. If you keep shouting, I'm worried that the teachers will notice this place, and then we might be in trouble..." An Geji put one arm on Su Ze's neck and staggered like a drunk. Su Ze pulled her left wrist and put his other hand around her from behind to support her right arm.

"Handsome guy, give me some smile--" An Geji said as she reached out to grab his arm. Su Ze had an unpleasant look on his face, and he quickly leaned back to avoid it.

——What is this? A drunken woman who turned into a gangster?

"Tsk, so stingy!" She waved her hand and hung her head.

——Change of tricks?

Su Ze was alert to possible unexpected events.

"Su Ze! You kid, you look more reliable than Gojo... and Geto..." Angehime smelled of alcohol, her face flushed, and she pointed at Su Ze's nose and muttered.

——What’s going on here? Is he turning into a life mentor to give advice?

"Yes, yes, you are right, auntie, let's not get drunk and go crazy..." Student Su was very tired. He really didn't expect that Gaozi would let him do this. Did she want to see him make a fool of himself?

Su Ze's feet were slightly touched by Qi, and even though he was dragging a drunkard, his speed could be described as flying. If he wanted, he could even fly the sword, but considering that his skills were not advanced enough, not to mention that he had drunk a little wine...

I was really worried that the discipline teacher would detain me for drunk driving.

He helped the singer to a small building not far away, took out the key he had searched from the singer and opened the door.

"Senior Diva, now that we're here, I won't go in. Can you get on the bed by yourself?" He said as he sniffed his sleeve with a helpless look on his face.

The moment she went out, perhaps because of the cold wind, the singer vomited violently. Su Ze tried his best to dodge, but he still couldn't avoid getting some on him.

"Of course!! I'm a diva~" Iori Diva staggered towards her bedroom.

Su Ze looked at her swaying back and felt a little worried.

"This door isn't even closed..." He turned around and prepared to close the door.

"Su Ze, you are so...reliable, and I am so smart! Then you must...tell those two guys, and Glass! Don't leave me alone after you become stronger - don't leave me, alone..."

Intermittent mumbling came from the bedroom, and then turned into light snoring.

Su Ze couldn't tell the expression on his face, he turned around and closed the door.
