The shining Shoko Toyokawa

'I'm so ashamed of myself,'

Li Xi deleted the message and looked up at the sky.

Her sister went to perform abroad, and now the situation is tense, and she has no return ticket.

Now I don't even have anyone to confide in.

Li Xi wants to go back to Tokyo now to find Xia Ya...

"Why...Char?"

Li Xi was confused about why the first person he wanted to find was Xia Ya, and the person he wanted to go to was also Xia Ya's side.

So, she could only comfort herself in her heart: "I... maybe I just don't want to make Xiao Deng feel troubled. Yes, that's definitely the case."

…………

After returning to my uncle's house, my elderly grandmother, Lixi's mother, and aunt all went back to their rooms to sleep.

Li Xi used the excuse that he had something else to deal with and stayed in the living room of his uncle's house. He listened to the conversation between two blurry figures on the balcony under the morning light.

They smoked cigarettes, and sometimes it took a long time before they spoke a word.

"Brother, it's a mess here. How about you go to Tokyo and live with me for a while? Come back when things are stable?"

That was the voice of Lixi's father.

When he first returned home, Li Xi felt that the voices of his family members seemed to be subtly different from what he remembered.

But after spending some time together, this 'subtle' feeling has disappeared.

"Mom, Yingzi, and your sister-in-law, I feel really bad for disturbing you," Lixi's uncle said, tall and strong-spoken. "Besides, I still have work to do. The president promised to increase my year-end bonus this year. Your sister-in-law was diagnosed with a minor illness last month and will have surgery soon."

"Brother, can we..."

"Even if I accept your financial help this time, what about the next time?" Uncle interrupted Li Xi's father. "Unless the missile really falls, my damn section chief will never approve my leave.

What can I do? I can't quit my job. Even though the salary is average, at my age, it's hard to find a new job..."

"But…"

Li Xi's father wanted to say something, but the tall shadow patted his shoulder. "We're already this old, why are you still so nagging? Don't I just want to work for another 20 years and become a salary thief?

Let's go, let's take a nap while we still have time. I see that little Lixi looks very worried. Did you force her to come here?"

My uncle walked into the living room first and found Li Xi sitting on the sofa. His smile froze slightly.

Li Xi opened his mouth, but ultimately could not utter anything. He just gave a somewhat awkward smile to the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar relative.

What was she going to say?

correct,

I persuaded my uncle and father to take everyone to live in the countryside for a while.

Because, in this situation, living in the city might really be dangerous...

But after listening to the conversation between these two men, two fathers,

Li Xi was speechless. The gravity of reality was too heavy...

The uncle who said he was going to rest, sat opposite and talked a lot with Li Xi -

"Stop being a Gundam pilot.

Even if I have to take MS, it will be for myself and after I graduate from university."

My uncle also complained bitterly about the inhumane behavior of the District 11 government, and described vividly what he had seen in the movie;

Even if the special attack team dropped a bomb and severely damaged the enemy's warship, it would be meaningless to carry out a suicide attack. After returning to the ship, they were insulted by their superiors.

But the staff officer who shouted that he was loyal to XX lived until the end of the war.

Fearing that the families of the special forces would come to seek revenge on him, he always carried a gun with him and a knife by his bed.

"...It turns out that the people who force others to die are the ones who fear death the most."

This is how my uncle summarized it.

Li Xi suddenly discovered that his father and uncle both seemed to have grown a lot of white hair.

She suddenly wanted to cry. She felt that she was so willful to open MS.

Just when she was secretly feeling a little proud of having eliminated a few terrorists,

How worried her family must be...

Li Xi thought of that helpless pink-haired girl again. How sad she must be now...

She decided to go back to Tokyo after everyone fell asleep.

It's not because of my inexplicable emotional problems, but because I have to take care of the lost child.

Of course, Li Xi would never say anything; I came here specifically to take care of you,

Just like when she ran to Aine's house every day for the past ten days except yesterday.

Chapter 131: Isn’t it just the beginning of the triangle?! Aine is more than just pretty!

It's dawn, the sun is rising from the horizon,

Aiyin slowly woke up driven by hunger and subconsciously turned on her phone to check the news, but found that there was no battery.

"Now, it's time for Haneki to start class..."

On the twentieth day after the colony appeared, a few days ago, the great powers finally couldn't bear the stimulation of bombing satellites every day.

So they decided to sit down and talk. Although each party still had their own opinions and blamed each other, they believed that this "war" was provoked by the opposing country.

But finally, there was no more throwing missiles at other people's heads.

Aiyin didn't have the energy to take care of her hair, so she quickly washed her face and tied her hair into a high ponytail.

After charging the phone for a while, I turned it on and looked at the date. I realized that the 24th was Saturday.

Ever since she met Xia Ya on the day the colony appeared, she hadn't been to school for the past twenty days.

Xiaodeng Lixi and Sushi come to visit her every day and bring food to feed her.

Sometimes wild stray cats would appear at her doorstep, and when they were in high spirits, they would pick up Aiyin's dusty guitar and play a solo.

When we were on the battlefield, we agreed to form a band together when we returned to District 11. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that this was a very negative sign. It was like we were going home to get married after the battle.

Fortunately, everyone is safe.

Aiyin opened the chat software and found that everyone seemed to be stuck on the road. It might take a while for them to come and feed her.

She did a quick search and found the reason why the route was temporarily suspended.

Someone committed suicide, lying on the railway tracks...

Unnatural deaths can happen even in District 11.

Car accidents, suicide, homicide, illness...

Human life is actually very fragile.

For example, now Aiyin, she didn't eat breakfast for more than 40 minutes later than usual, and her stomach was protesting to her.

In the refrigerator, there seemed to be vegetables bought by Sushi, milk bought by Lixi, fruits bought by Xiaodeng, and matcha pudding left by a stray cat.

In an empty room of her house, there were canned food, compressed biscuits and water that Xia Ya had sent to her door.

If you eat as much as you want, it’s enough for one person to eat for half a year.

But now Aine just wanted to lie on the bed and play with her phone. It was actually okay that her stomach was protesting, and it wasn’t that uncomfortable. Although if she ignored her stomach’s protests for months and years, she might get stomach problems.

Aiyin clicked on the blonde girl's profile picture. She had also sent greetings this morning.

Although this was a bit like a routine greeting between an old couple, Aine was still quite happy.

But at the same time she was happy, she felt a little lost.

'Now that everyone has returned to a peaceful life, what do I have to lose?..."

Aiyin slid her index finger upwards and swiped to the next video.

"It's incredible to think that a few days ago everyone was thinking about a world war, but now everyone is back to school and work.

Perhaps humans are very resilient creatures..."

Aiyin doesn't want to go to school, let alone work.

As for what I said to Xia Ya before about wanting to be an astronaut, Xia Ya must know that with her short-lived personality, it was just talk and she would not take it seriously.

"Anyway, in the end, everyone will just fight each other..."

The pink-haired girl no longer reads any big bloggers' political analysis.

Politics, the future, are all empty talk.

Only the girl’s long legs and front armor are real!

Well, these are probably fake.

But Aine was happy to watch.

She thought it would be nice to be an otaku, the kind who would rely on her parents for support and kick the floor to get them to bring her meals to her door.

As for Aine, she sticks to Suyo, Xiaodeng, Lixi, and Xia Ya.

The pink-haired girl actually felt a little excited when she thought about how she would hold their little legs when they were going to work and say that she would feed them before leaving.

"Ahhh…I really suck!"

She cursed herself.

In anger,

I turned over, changed to a more comfortable position and continued playing with my phone.

stand up?

It is impossible for it to get up in this life. It can only wait for everyone to feed it so that it can survive.

…………

"Uncle, aunt, please bless Aine."

Downstairs, Su Shi clasped his hands together and bowed to the mourning hall.

The same is true for Lixi and Xiaodeng.

"Aine, we're coming up,"

Li Xi called out, but without waiting for a response, and without thinking too much, he went upstairs.

But after entering Aine's open room, the black straight-haired girl immediately frowned.

The same thing happened to Su Shi who followed in.

The room was a terrible mess, the wardrobe door was wide open, clothes were scattered on the floor, the trash can was right next to it, but used toilet paper was lying less than a meter away from the trash can.

If there were a few more empty beer cans on the ground, Su Shi would start to wonder if she had traveled back to Xiangzi's home more than half a year ago.

"Oh, everyone is here, soyo I'm so hungry!"

Aiyin flirted with the flaxen-haired girl. If the cell phone speaker wasn't playing exciting music and there wasn't a beautiful girl on the screen,

This time, I guess the damage is pretty good.

Su Shi sighed and went to make breakfast. She looked like an old mother who was going to cook for her "good old daughter" who didn't want to go to school and was ready to support her for the rest of her life.

"You guy..."

The girl with long black hair looked at Aine with disdain, "You're not planning to live like this for the rest of your life, are you?"

If Su Shi is the gentle old mother, then Li Xi is the stern old father, "Hurry up and clean up your room!"

"oh…"

The pink-haired girl, or rather the salted fish, responded reluctantly, then got up at a speed comparable to a sloth and tidied up the room.

"!!!"

Li Xi's fist hardened. The pink-haired salted fish's ability to take care of himself was deteriorating at a rapid rate.

If this continues, she is worried that this guy will need to be fed in the future.
