The shining Shoko Toyokawa

Chu Hua is now wearing high heels, which are defined as shoes with a minimum heel of only three centimeters, and her height has reached 178 cm.

From her perspective, Xiaoxiang, who had obviously grown taller, seemed to have become smaller.

It was so small that I could rub it into my body and lift her up easily.

'Xiaoxiang, Xiaoxiang!'

Smelling the fragrance of the girl's hair in his arms, Chu Hua gradually became obsessed.

Why are there such people in the world?

So dazzling,

But so cute!

Before being completely 'charmed', Chu Hua pinched himself hard and regained his sanity.

"Chuhua? What's wrong?"

There was a hint of doubt in Xiaoxiang's voice, but no wariness or alertness.

"Nothing, just..."

Chu Hua subconsciously wanted to explain, but halfway through her words, she realized that it would be impossible to protect Xiao Xiang if she continued like this.

She must take the initiative and become the 'superior' in the relationship.

"It's just that I think you should leave Wuxi."

Her voice suddenly turned cold and hard. "You've done enough. As long as you leave Wu Ci, I will continue to increase my efforts to help them."

“…Chuhua…”

"This is not a negotiation with you, I think you understand what I mean,"

Chu Hua interrupted Maya's words,

"After embezzling funds from the Jupiter resource-collecting ship to build the Agama, Thornless has been unable to receive any funding from the Federation."

"Captain Maya, right now, mobile suits are rapidly evolving. You wouldn't want everyone to be left without new mobile suits, would you?"

Captain Maya, yes, Captain Maya,

Chu Hua found a way to be cruel to Xiao Xiang.

That is to treat her as another person,

Only by thinking this way could she make such an 'excessive request'.

"So, come with me to the moon. As long as you don't do anything too dangerous, I will support you no matter what it is."

Although Chu Hua's tone was tough now, if you looked closely, it was just like a young man showing his property certificate and bank deposit to his "girlfriend".

Generally speaking, at this 'step', the next step is to take out the ring and propose.

"Thank you, Chuhua,"

Maya held Chuhua's hand and smiled.

Hearing her say this, the Triangle CEO's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Openings like "Thank you" are usually followed by "You're a good person, but we're not right for each other."

This means that Chuhua can only use the worst possible way to "protect" Xiaoxiang.

“I’m actually quite disappointed,”

"!!!"

Chuhua was a little nervous, even scared. Xiaoxiang said he was disappointed in her.

"The world will be unified, and there will no longer be any national borders or distinctions between 'you and me,'"

"This is something I never dared to imagine before, but when I woke up, I was told that the earth was unified."

"At that moment, I felt that everything I did had meaning..."

After hearing this, Chuhua finally understood what Maya was disappointed about.

If there is someone in the world who will never be disappointed, then he must be someone who has no expectations for anything.

People seem destined to be betrayed by expectations, and no one is an exception.

Maya was also betrayed by her own expectations...

"But this world is definitely not a world without 'you and me'. In order to maintain its rule, the Federation rudely divides people into two categories."

"The so-called remnants of the old era are suppressed and persecuted. Even honest and upright citizens of the Federation will be classified as remnants if they offend a bureaucrat with even a little power..."

"I was disappointed with the world, so I quit the EFF."

"But this is wrong!"

"It's because everyone thinks this way and too few people stand up to oppose it that such unreasonable policies are brutally pushed forward by politicians!"

"I have to try it,"

"We have to try!"

"How do you know if things like this can be changed if you don't try?!"

At this moment, Chu Hua felt that Maya in his arms was dazzling and hot, like the sun in the sky.

But it is impossible for humans to imprison the sun.

Not to mention locking it up, even if people look directly at the sun, its light will hurt their eyes.

"Then why didn't you, Captain Maya, want to become the leader of the Thornless?"

But as long as people put on "sunglasses" and stop trying to feel the color and heat of the "sun", they will have the right to "look directly" at it.

Chu Hua took the initiative to let go of Maya and looked at her face.

"Eh?"

This was a question that Maya had not expected, but it was not difficult to answer.

"Because I once again saw the potential of humanity and was trusted by many people, I temporarily took the lead."

"To be honest, I don't have much confidence in myself. I want to wait until the situation becomes clearer before telling you... I'm still here."

"In the end, I was exposed... But this feels a lot easier."

After saying this, Captain Maya relaxed a lot.

"Are you talking about defeating Caius?" Chu Hua's expression was unclear.

"Well, that's part of it,"

Xiangzi nodded seriously. "Next, we have to hand it over to Wu Ci's 'friends'. Many of them may not care about the remnants of the old times, but as long as they can make things difficult for their political opponents, they will definitely do it."

"Then why were you reluctant to be a leader before, but suddenly became willing not long ago? There have always been many people who have high expectations of you, right?"

Chu Hua lowered his head, his expression hidden in the shadow cast by the light above his head.

"As expected... Is it because of your encounter with Nina? No one else can cheer you up, but she can..."

"Huh? Why did you bring up Renna?"

Maya's expression was a little confused.

The next moment, Chu Hua clenched his fists and raised his head.

"Is Niina more important than me?!"

"no!"

Captain Maya retorted subconsciously,

"Eh?"

A hint of joy flashed across Chuhua's face, but before the smile could unfold, it was interrupted by Maya's next words.

"What I want to tell Chuhua is what we must do,"

Maya looked up at the porthole, her golden eyes reflecting the sunset, the last rays of light on the clouds, and the increasingly bright starry sky.

“Because of Chuhua and everyone here, I truly feel the possibility of changing the world together.”

"As for me, I used to hate this world, but if I were with you guys..."

"No!"

Chu Hua pushed Maya onto the bed as a conditioned reflex.

so as not to…

In order to avoid her determination to protect Xiaoxiang being shaken by the rag sucking (dazzling)

"I don't want to hear..."

At this moment, their lips were less than ten centimeters apart.

"Chuhua?"

"Didn't you say you would be my princess..."

So close that Maya could feel the warmth of his words and breath.

"When you grow up, will you be my bride?"

"I want to be Xiaoxiang's prince for the rest of my life..." Chuhua's voice was so gentle that it seemed to drown people. "So... you must also belong to me forever, okay?"

Maya was thinking hard, did she ever say that she wanted to be the princess of Huayuan?

Chu Hua's lips had already slowly kissed her.

She kissed Chuhua on the lips and shamelessly said, "This is an adult's kiss."

Now that she is being forced to pay off the debt, it seems only natural?

Being with a good girl like Chu Hua is troublesome no matter how you look at it. And she is narrow-minded and it is a good thing for her...

but…

But ah,

Is this really good?

Maya's mind was filled with the sun-like smile of Renai, who was Maya's 'hero'.

And there was the girl whose soul was still floating in the air. She was Maya's first love. She wanted to protect her at all costs, but in the end, she was the one who hurt her the most.

And the pink-haired girl,

The flaxen-haired girl,

So, as a 'princess', there is no doubt that Maya is unqualified.

Shouldn’t the princess in the fairy tale be a good woman who only loves her prince for her whole life?

Is a sinful woman like her really qualified to be the princess of Chuhua?

But... Chu Hua doesn't care whether he is qualified or not.

Because she and she met that summer——

…………

"I caught it, I caught it, Xiaoxiang!"

On a branch that was quite tall for a child, a blonde girl was happily waving a giant rhinoceros beetle in her hand.

The sound of waves came from the wind. In the hot summer, the cicadas on the island kept chirping.

Looking up at the blonde girl who could climb so high, the young Xiangzi just thought she was really amazing...

But even though she is so 'powerful', she sometimes shows an expression that looks like she might cry at any moment.

"Hey, Xiaoxiang, can you please not leave?"

That was the first year they met on the island, and also the first time they said goodbye.

When it was time to say goodbye, the little blonde girl didn't even bother to hide her missing upper front teeth.

Pulling at Xiao Xiaoxiang's clothes, as if she might burst into tears at any moment,

"I'll come back to see you after a while!"
