I will swear to protect the beauty with my life

Summer vacation is here, accompanied by the chirping of cicadas and scorching heat.

The long-awaited holiday made Fang Wuwei want to just lie at home, play games when he had free time to exercise his body, and practice his skills at the same time. How cozy and comfortable it would be.

It’s just that Zhangye and her friends have gone abroad to visit their father, otherwise we could still visit them.

Fang Wuwei, who had just finished his exercise, was lying on the sofa with nothing to do. He had completely adapted to the life of a student. For a former social person like him, student life was simply a rare paradise.

The phone beside him rang, and he picked it up lazily and saw that it was Yuta calling.

Without thinking too much, Fang Wuwei answered the phone. He remembered that there seemed to be some plot to be advanced this summer.

Sure enough, Yuta on the other end of the phone did not go abroad with Zuoye and the others, but stayed in Neon.

"Hey, Konghong, Sister Juhua invited us to go to their hometown this summer. Do you want to come?"

Yongta invited Fang Wuwei. If I remember correctly, this trip to Rika's house seemed to be the key point when their relationship quickly warmed up, so he had to get involved.

"go with!"

In this way, Fang Wuwei accepted Yongtai's invitation and went to the station to meet at noon one day to spend a summer vacation together.

————This is a lovely dividing line————

"Why is it so hot~~~"

"yes......"

Nibutani, who was sitting in the bus stop, complained, and Isshiki, who was wearing a baseball cap, echoed him. He was almost dying of heat. It was really too hot that day, and even Yuta was too hot to talk.

"Good morning~~"

A lazy voice came from a distance, which instantly woke Isshiki Makoto up. He saw senior sister Fennel wearing a white suspender skirt and a white beach hat. She exuded a wonderful sense of purity, which made Isshiki's eyes widen.

Ever since Isshiki Makoto shaved his head last time and was gently comforted by senior Anise, he has been infatuated with her. In his words, "Senior Anise, who doesn't look down on me because of my bald head, is an angel!"

At that time, Nibutani was speechless. He was upset because the girl who gave him the love letter dumped him without even meeting her, but in the blink of an eye, he fell in love with senior student Fennel.

Looking at the pure-dressed Fennel-senpai, Nibutani uttered a few complaints, "It's a pity that she can wear this kind of clothes on the street. She's not an idol from the Showa era."

These two sentences naturally caused Isshiki Makoto's dissatisfaction, and he turned around and refuted Nibutani, "Senior Anise is different from you. She is a sincere girl who will not be influenced by the times!"

"Hehe...what are you, a primary school student, talking about~" Nibutani was not angry. He flicked the hat off Isshiki Makoto's head with his backhand, revealing his hair which had just grown a little bit of stubble. It was indeed as short as that of a primary school student.

"Don't call me an elementary school student..." Isshiki Makoto quickly covered his head with his hands. After losing his hair, he was extremely sensitive. Hair was his life, and now that he had lost it, he naturally would not allow others to talk about his hair.

but......

"Isshiki, you look like an elementary school student~" Senior sister Anise came over and said to Isshiki.

When Issei heard this, he put his hands down, and kept grinning, letting Senior Sister Fennel rub his head.

Except for senior sister Fennel.

Later, when the train was about to depart, Fang Wuwei arrived late.

"It's too slow."

Nibutani couldn't help but complain, saying that he had no sense of time, no wonder he was late every day.

"Sorry sorry~"

Fang Wuwei didn't care at all. He smiled and held up the basket of fruits in his hand. "We are going to buy things. We can't go to someone's house empty-handed. It's so rude."

Nibutani, who was standing by, heard this, sighed, and accepted it. She also brought some things with her.

Touma, Yuta, Isshiki, and Anise, who are empty-handed: “............”

Oh no, I've become rude.

"By the way, Isshiki, your current hairstyle actually suits you better than before you shaved it."

"Stop talking about hair!!"

As everyone was chatting and laughing, the train finally arrived at the station and everyone could get on.

But Toshou got carsick. In desperation, Nibutani pulled Isshiki Makoto, who was staring at senior Anise's sleeping face with a silly look on his face, and took Toshou to the toilet to vomit first.

The only people left in the carriage were Yuta Rikka, Fang Wuwei and senior sister Fennel who had fallen asleep.

Yuta looked at Rikka who was sitting next to him. Since Rikka got on the bus... no, arrived at the station, Rikka has hardly spoken a word. She just stared into the distance with an unhappy look on her face.

Yuta also saw that Rikka was obviously in a low mood. He knew why Rikka was like this (revealed by the protagonist in Chapter 24). Sister Touka invited him to go with her and even said, "You are very important." He could vaguely guess why.

However, he believed that it was right for Touka to want Rikka to face reality, and he naturally hoped that Rikka would stop escaping and face the facts that had already happened.

He did not try to comfort Rikka or give her any advice. He was not qualified to do so. All he could do was stay by Rikka's side, interact with her, and try to make her temporarily forget the pain of reality.

So, he started to act funny and tried every way to chat with Rikka.

However, even though Yuta was so proactive, Rikka still chose not to speak. Yuta felt annoyed for a moment, but a sense of heartache arose inexplicably in his heart.

Forget it... Regarding the sudden death of a loved one, Kong Hong might be more familiar with this. I'll ask him when I have time... No, wouldn't this just open up his scars?

I have a headache...

"I'm really worried, Rikka-chan~"

Even senior sister Fennel noticed that something was wrong with Rikka when she woke up, and she also hoped that everyone could have fun together.

"Is there something on your mind, Rikka-chan?"

Regarding this, Yuta did not respond, Fang Wuwei did not respond, and Liuhua did not even turn her head, staring at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window in a trance...

————This is a lovely dividing line————

The train arrived at the station very quickly. Neon is a small place and a train ride only takes a few hours, so it naturally won’t take too long.

After getting off the bus, Tuo Shou took a long time to recover. He sat on the ground, leaning against the huge rabbit backpack he brought with him, and spinning around in a daze. He didn't even notice a frog on his head. Senior Sister Fennel squatted beside him, watching over Tuo Shou and guarding him quietly.

"The world is spinning, Death~ The thunder hammer dances..."

"I told you to shut up!" Even so, Touma insisted on being a chuunibaku, which made Nibutani angry.

The reason for being angry? Look at Isshiki Makoto who also looks unhappy in the back.

After Isshiki went to the toilet with the two, he looked at Toumori lying on the toilet, and Isshiki was also vomited, and Nibutani was in front of Isshiki, and...

We still don't know how desperate Nibutani was when the only escape route was blocked and faced with two vomiting people in front and behind...

All we know is that after coming out, Nibutani had changed into a new set of clothes.

"As expected of the squad leader... You really take care of people..."

Isshiki Makoto, who looked miserable, walked over with narrowed eyes. As one of the culprits, he helped Nibutani wash off the vomit that was all over his body, and then he came over accurately and stepped on the landmine.

Can Nibutani endure this? He just used the wet clothes in his hand as a whip and swung it at Isshiki Makoto's face, "Do you think I want to?"

But the kind-hearted Nibutani was not really angry. Even if he was angry, it had calmed down. He even had time to care about the dizzy Touma and Rikka who was obviously not feeling well.

"Is she really okay?"

At this time, Rikka was isolated from the team, standing alone in the sun holding her black Gothic lace umbrella.

"It was classmate Xiao Niaoyou who invited us. He said he was going back to his hometown and asked if we wanted to come and play together."

Except for Fang Wuwei who was invited by Yongtai, it was said that the reason for the invitation was that Shihua specifically asked him to come...and the others were all brought over by Liuhua. Yongtai could probably guess the reason for this. She was not understood by her family and did not want to go home alone. The more people there were, the better.

But other people don’t know, especially Nibutani. She thinks the reason why Rikka is so abnormal is most likely a plot from a novel like "she had a boyfriend in junior high school, and they went to different high schools and became in a long-distance relationship..."

Nibutani is always interested when talking about love.

Even Yuta had some reaction. After hearing Nibutani's inference, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

A small van that could accommodate everyone drove over in the distance, and Juhua came to pick them up.

But seeing that Rikka was taking a defensive stance towards the beautiful black-haired lady, Nibutani noticed something was wrong...
