I will swear to protect the beauty with my life

They walked in silence all the way and soon arrived at Xiaoniaoyu's hometown.

“What a big house~”

Looking at the old house in front of them that could be considered a villa, senior sister Fennel exclaimed, and Isshiki on the side also thought that perhaps the Kotori family was rich.

In front of the house, Liuhua's grandparents were standing at the door to greet them. On such a hot day, the fact that two kind old people were standing outside the gate waiting for people was enough to explain a lot.

"No, no, you're too polite. We usually receive a lot of care from Mr. Kotori. And you even brazenly accepted the invitation this time. Did you really not cause any trouble to the two of you?"

Faced with this situation, Nibutani, as the team mother, naturally stepped forward and responded to the two elderly people politely.

Faced with such a polite child, the two old people naturally liked her very much. However, when they saw Rikka's eye mask, they still felt a little bothered.

"Is Rikka still playing the pirate game? After all, it's very popular nowadays." Rikka's grandmother asked. She didn't understand why Rikka liked playing this kind of 'game' so much. She just thought it was a popular thing among young people nowadays.

However, Rikka's grandfather was very dissatisfied with Rikka. In his eyes, she was too childish. "I thought she would be a little more normal."

"Old man!"

Grandpa complained in front of Liuhua and everyone else, which naturally caused grandma's dissatisfaction.

Liuhua turned a deaf ear to her grandfather's complaints. Now she just wanted to escape from this unhappy place as soon as possible.

"Grandma...give everyone a dark brown liquid (probably Coke)."

Liuhua did the same and walked straight to the center of the two people, but found that her grandfather didn't even look at her. After saying something to her grandmother who cared about her, he ran away.

I'm afraid Rikka is sad deep down.

But the two old people were also sad...Since her father died, Liuhua has not been normal...They have always hoped that Shihua and her mother can help Liuhua, but...

Then the two of them saw someone getting off the car behind them. Fang Wuwei, who was also wearing a blindfold, was stunned and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Could it be that this person has led Rikka astray?

Everyone entered the house, and grandma served drinks to everyone as Liuhua said, but grandpa just disappeared and left.

Grandma was sitting in the living room, and Nibutani placed the snacks he brought on the ground and handed them to her in a very neon way.

"It's just a small gift, not a token of respect. Thank you for your care."

Nibutani is very strict about etiquette.

Fang Wuwei was naturally not to be outdone. He handed the many fruits in his hand to his grandmother. The fruits were so heavy that his grandmother could hardly hold them. Then Fang Wuwei also began his gift-giving speech...

"I hope my sudden visit this time will not cause you any trouble. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it. You're welcome."

"Oh my, I'm so sorry. Please don't mind it. Just treat this place as your home."

Grandma accepted the gifts from Dan Shenggu and Fang Wuwei without much hesitation, packed up her things and left, saving a lot of trouble.

"I always feel like... you two are like some old people..."

Isshiki, who was standing by, poked his head out at the right time and complained, which naturally made the two men dissatisfied. Nibutani just responded verbally, but Fang Wuwei was more direct and gave him a slap on the face.

"What the hell......"

Just at this moment, a big yellow dog came up, sniffed Fang Wuwei's face, and stretched out its tongue to lick him...but Fang Wuwei pinched its mouth with one hand, preventing the dog from getting close, and threw the dog to Danshenggu.

Fang Wuwei doesn't like dogs, he is a die-hard cat lover.

"What...what are you doing! Why just throw it to me!"

The dog with its big tongue stuck out licked Nibutani's face, causing Nibutani to scream. She didn't like being licked, it was so smelly!

"What a big dog!"

"This... Could this be the legendary monster Death?"

Except for Nibutani, everyone else was quite excited, especially Touma. She had already figured out how to turn it into a three-headed hellhound.

Only Yuta said nothing while holding his drink. He was not in a good mood because...

At this moment, the door of the living room was opened, and Juhua appeared at the door. She looked at Yuta who was looking over, and gestured upstairs with her hand.

Yuta also understood what Touka meant. He was just about to call Rikka out, so he naturally cooperated and left.

After Yuta left, Shihua still stood there, and this time her target was Fang Wuwei.

But Fang Wuwei was not aware of this. Looking at Shihua who was looking at him, Fang Wuwei looked left and right, and finally pointed at himself.

'I? '

'right. ’

Shihua nodded, and Fang Wuwei followed Shihua and left helplessly...

As for Yuta, when he came upstairs, he easily recognized which was Rikka's room. There was a big magic circle next to it, so it was hard not to recognize it.

He knocked on the door and calmed down. He also had to think about how to comfort him as much as possible without touching Rikka's scar...

On the other side, watching Yongta going upstairs, Shihua pulled Fang Wuwei to the corridor in the backyard, sat on the steps and looked at the bright sunshine outside.

"So, you want to talk to me about something?"

Fang Wuwei asked, but Shihua remained silent. Not long after, grandma brought a plate of watermelon, and neither Shihua nor Fang Wuwei was polite.

“The fruit is good.”

That’s definitely good, one point.

Fang Wuwei complained in his heart. He had already guessed that the watermelon was taken from the pile he had sent, although this pile of fruit was purely a sudden consumption that came to his mind.

There was a long silence, it seemed that Shihua was organizing her words, or maybe she was a little embarrassed.

Finally, she spoke...

"I heard from Yuta that your situation...is very similar to ours, but more..."

Having said this, Shihua was stuck. She suddenly realized that if she couldn't accept it, then for this child, wouldn't it be like tearing open the scabbed wound and rubbing a lot of salt on it?

She was so concerned that she was confused, and she only thought about Rikka, but forgot that this child was no different from herself, and was even more miserable.

"No... Sorry, I didn't say that..."

"But it doesn't matter."

Fang Wuwei felt nothing in his heart. Not to mention that he had no feelings for his original parents in this life, even in his previous life, after his sister died, he had now reincarnated and walked out of the shadow... perhaps.

Fang Wuwei at this moment made Shihua feel a little strange. How could a person with a chuunibyou syndrome give her such a mature feeling?

Finally, Shihua sat down, thought for a long time, and decided to get straight to the point and directly stated his purpose...

"I hope that you... can use your original method to help Rikka get out of the shadows, face reality, and stop indulging in fantasy."

Hearing this, Fang Wuwei just remained silent and silently ate the watermelon in his hand.

The grandmother who had returned was also stunned when she heard Shihua's words, and then she understood something.

There was a cicada hanging on the tree in the backyard in front of me, chirping. From the living room not far behind me, I could hear people playing and having fun. Only here was there silence.
