"Ah...it's the hero of justice...my savior, we meet again...but why are you holding me up in mid-air?...If you could put me down, I would definitely thank you properly."

"hiss--"

The ghost appears again! Were you asleep again?!

Mahiro took a deep breath, constantly reminding himself not to complain, because complaining meant losing.

It's truly remarkable that this confused girl could utter such a long string of words while in a half-dreaming, half-awake state.

In the end, it all turned into a weary sigh, and then he placed the girl in his arms on the ground.

As if feeling her feet firmly planted on solid ground again, Tina's eyes widened slightly, and she exclaimed "Oh~" in amazement, as if she had discovered a new continent.

She then tilted her head back and looked at him with her bright blue eyes.

"...I am...very grateful...to my savior...my hero...sir..."

Just like some people who are cool for only three seconds, she had barely uttered a word when her eyelids began to droop and her head gradually lowered. As if she were fighting against the god of sleep, she kept nodding her head, and what she said sounded like a dream.

No, to be precise, she did fall asleep again.

Although I've heard of people sleeping with their eyes open, this is the first time I've ever seen someone fall asleep standing up.

"Hey, wake up, don't sleep."

This is the second time Mahiro has woken up the girl.

But this time, as soon as he lightly patted the girl's back, her body immediately leaned forward.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted and caught the girl in his arms, preventing her from becoming a tragic figure like Lin Daiyu who fell from the sky.

At this moment, Tina slowly woke up from her dream again.

"Ah...you saved me again, once...you saved my life...your great benefactor?"

Opening her eyes and seeing his face, Tina stared blankly, her mouth agape in a happy smile. "You... could save me three times in one day... could you be... the savior...?"

"Forget it, I've lost interest in complaining..."

His eye twitched involuntarily, then he sighed and began his routine questioning.

"Tell me, what are you doing here?"

Nearly ten seconds passed before the girl snapped out of her daze, shook her head, and said, "...I don't know...?"

"Do you know where this place is?"

"......have no idea?"

"Then why did you come here?"

"have no idea....?"

When asked three times without knowing the answer, and in a tone full of doubt, most people would have been furious, but Mahiro persisted in asking, "Then what's your name?"

“I don’t know… Ah, no… I do know this… My name is… Tina, Tina Spoon.

Although there were no questions this time, he still nodded seriously at the end to make sure he hadn't said anything wrong.

Just how confused are they...?

But when he said his name, a moment of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, little Tina."

Mahiro reached out and touched the girl's soft golden hair, saying, "This is not a place for you. Go home right now."

Just say it.

But before he could remember to leave, Tina grabbed the hem of his coat again.

"What else?"

"...You still haven't told me...your name, Big Brother Savior?"

As she spoke, Tina tilted her head in a dazed and innocent way. But with that confused and absent-minded look, she didn't look cute at all; she just looked blank.

"Okay, my name is Mahiro, Yotsuba Mahiro, did you remember that?"

"Ah...it's Brother Shinjiro, Tina will remember this."

Tina stared blankly at Makoto with her mouth half open, but her smile was as bright as a flower.

"Alright, now that I've told you my name, I'm off. I've been here so long that I haven't even had breakfast yet."

"Wait... I have one more request..."

As Mahiro was about to leave again, Tina suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, pleading, "Big brother Mahiro... could you take me home?"

trouble.

But he didn't refuse. Instead, he bent down and looked at the girl's dirty little face, asking, "Where does little Tina live?"

Tina wearily lowered her eyelids, shook her head back and forth and side to side, rested her chin on her index finger, and slowly began to speak: "...I...forgot..."

"Tsk."

Perhaps it was a deliberate prank, or perhaps her confused little brain hadn't fully woken up yet.

However, Mahiro had no intention of leaving her there.

First, take her to a park bench nearby, wet a handkerchief at a nearby tap, and then thoroughly clean her dirty little face to help her wake up.

"Sit still and don't move around."

She raised her chin, squinted her eyes, and let Zhenxun do as she pleased.

"Big brother Mahiro...you look so skilled..."

"Because I'm used to it."

Taking care of girls like this, although I was very unfamiliar with it at first, I have become quite skilled over time.

After being cleaned up, Tina's beautiful appearance was finally revealed to the world.

She has a very cute face, unlike Xia Shi's expressionless face. Perhaps it's because she hasn't woken up yet, but she always exudes a subtle sense of adorable innocence.

But its beauty is comparable to that of Xiaochaoxia.

Just like Kaguya and Alice in Gensokyo, one represents Eastern beauty and the other represents Western beauty.

If they grow up, they'll definitely be the kind that brings disaster to the country and its people.

Makoto was able to be so certain.

"Thank you, big brother Zhenxun."

Tina stood up and gave a polite bow.

Strangely, she remained bowed without raising her head, her heavy eyelids almost drooping.

"Hey~ Be careful not to fall."

Makoto instinctively reached out and helped her.

Tina immediately looked up and quickly reached into her sleepy pocket to pull out a bottle with an English label.

Just as he opened the box and was about to take out a handful of pills, Mahiro snatched them away.

In her current state, she didn't even realize her hands were empty. She blankly tilted the food in her palm, occasionally asking in confusion, "Huh? Have I finished eating...?"

It was only then that she discovered that her bottle had ended up in Mahiro's hands.

"...Please give it back to me, okay?"

"No."

Mahiro refused, saying, "Children shouldn't eat this kind of thing, or they'll never grow up."

"But....."

"I know you are a child of the nocturnal curse, but even if your body has a strong regenerative ability, don't eat this kind of thing, it's addictive."

"How did Brother Mahiro know my identity...?"

“For a young girl like you to be so confused so early in the morning, I can’t think of any other possibility but the child of the curse.”

Hearing him say that, Tina opened her eyes halfway and exclaimed in surprise.

"So... you understand me better than I do."

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyelids began to droop again, and she murmured, "But... if I don't eat this, I'll fall asleep very soon..."

"If you don't mind, why don't you sleep here with my pillow?" Mahiro patted his thigh and suggested.

Tina Spoon: "......"

Tina hesitated at first, but the overwhelming drowsiness, coupled with the lack of caffeine, eventually made her give in.

They even forgot their own mission.

Let Makoto manipulate her body as he pleased, she eventually leaned against his firm thigh.

"So warm... even more comfortable than the pillows in my apartment..."

With these words, which sounded like a dream, Tina gradually drifted off to sleep.

Mahiro leaned against a park bench, basking in the warm sunshine and spring breeze.

The warm spring breeze carries a hint of coolness, which is very comfortable and pleasant.

He felt so comfortable that he even wanted to take a nap.

But that won't work; I haven't even had breakfast yet.

So he first made a few phone calls to acquaintances to inform them of the situation, and then ordered takeout.

-------------------------------------

It was afternoon, almost evening.

Tina finally woke up from her sleep.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a somewhat familiar yet very handsome face, and at first she didn't react.

After a moment, remembering what had happened, he climbed off him.

"wake up?"

"Yes, thank you so much, Brother Mahiro... your technique is excellent, it made me feel very comfortable..."

Tina stood up from the bench and bowed deeply to him to express her gratitude.

Although I haven't fully recovered mentally, it's enough.

and.

She slept very comfortably, the most comfortable and peaceful sleep she had ever had since she could remember.

The only regret is that I completely forgot about the scouting task...

It doesn't matter. The master has an inside man, so we can take Plan B and start by attacking the emperor's route.

"Now that I've slept well, I'm really leaving this time. I've been sitting here all day... even for me, my legs are a little numb."

Mahiro didn't criticize her ambiguous statement. Instead, he muttered to himself as he stood up and stretched his lower body.

But just as he was about to leave, Tina tugged at his sleeve again.

"What's wrong? Are you planning to have me take you home?" he joked.

“No…no.” Tina shook her head and said, “Can I have your phone number? To thank you for letting me sleep, I want to repay you later.”

"No need, it was just something I did on the spur of the moment."

Just as he was about to say that, Tina added, "Please."

"alright."

Mahiro sighed helplessly and gave her the number.

But Tina, who had written down the number, then said:

"So, may I try calling you now?"

Is this necessary?

"Brother Zhenxun might have given me a fake phone number."
