While Bai Xun and I were still chatting casually minding our own business, an image suddenly popped up on the TV in front of us.
The real Minato and Sword live broadcast room in the picture.
"It looks like it's already started."
"I always have a bad feeling..."
"What a coincidence...me too."
The two of us watched TV listlessly.
So, my sister and sword’s live show officially started.
"Hello everyone, my name is Chenase Minato."
"Hello everyone... I am sword, also known as Infilia..."
"Then sword, please take care of me today."
"You, you too... I always feel that senior seems to be very adaptable to this kind of situation."
"After all, I have a lot of life experience, so I can adapt to this kind of situation quickly."
"Well, that's really convenient."
The two sat on both sides of the table and talked.
However, the two of them seemed to be very familiar with each other, and their communication became much more natural.
"Then, let us two beautiful girls present today's program for everyone."
"Uh... can I say anything about beautiful girls?"
"That's what it is!"
"...Even so..."
I always feel that Minato is in an inexplicably high mood at this time.
However, seeing this scene, Xun still frowned: "This combination is too inconsistent."
"really."
Continuing to watch TV, Sword asked nervously on the screen: "What do you plan to talk about, senior?"
"Well... the conversation between girls... of course it's about love!"
"……What?!"
"Of course, otherwise we're just talking about games?"
"Uh...are you asking me for love counseling?"
"Huh? It's the other way around." Minato pointed to himself and sword, "You asked me to do it."
But Sword's eyes instantly twitched following the direction Minato pointed.
"...You mean...I came to you for a love affair?"
"That's right!"
Sword fell into deep thought. I don't know what she was thinking, but her ears were getting redder and redder.
Seeing this, even an outsider like me understood the general idea and looked towards Xun beside me.
"...ask?"
As the "only" male protagonist in "The Witch and the Magic Book", how would you react after hearing such words?
"...sword actually has someone he likes..."
Forget it... This guy is hopeless. I'm afraid he was something like stone or wood in his previous life.
I finally understand the reason why I have no luck in love despite living among girls.
"...Okay...then just think that I have someone I like."
The sword in the picture slammed the table.
But since they agreed so directly, it should be "already there", right? This kind of covert statement is really interesting.
"That's right!"
"But... why are you using a condescending attitude like a love expert!"
It seems that this topic has touched sword's heart, and now he doesn't even use honorifics.
"Eh? It's because I'm more proficient, right?"
"Varied--"
"Does it mean that Sword thinks he is better at it? If that's the case, I'm really sorry."
He pouted proudly.
After all, he is also the other party’s senior, so don’t be so childish!
"This, this is not...just..."
"Don't worry, after all, my relationship has been living together for more than 20 years!"
"!!"
"And it's considered to be done first and then played~"
"And the overseas trip in the first volume is a trip for two people~"
"Really...really even a wedding trip..."
Sword's petrified words trembled.
It seems that I have fallen deeply into a misunderstanding. Although the final result is not wrong.
"Of course, if you lie, you can't deceive the online audience at all, right?"
Minato winked playfully at the camera.
"Well, if you say that, then I have nothing to say."
It’s completely bullying sword because he’s not familiar with our works! Hey, he’s really shady in this regard.
"I admit that I failed very much in this area, so——"
"so?"
"So I want to give you a life talk!"
It seems that Minato's goal has finally been achieved.
"You also know that I have actually made no progress in this area. What should I do?"
"Oh? I didn't expect Sword to be so candid."
Sword held his mouth slightly.
"What does it matter...if that guy was here, I might cover it up a little bit."
"Hmm...I feel the same way."
"Feel the same?"
"Nothing...then let me think about it..."
Minato clapped his hands as if he understood something.
"How about trying the same form of life talk as today?"
"Why?"
"Ask... No, 'that guy' must have a helpful nature, right? Then if Sword has difficulties, he will definitely lend a helping hand."
"So that's it, what should I do?"
Sword seems to be particularly serious once he decides on something.
Seeing this scene, Minato smiled slightly: "Then just do as I say."
"good."
"First of all, be alone with him...even if you sneak into the room, it doesn't matter."
"OK."
Sword took out a pen and paper and started recording.
But sneaking into the room - are you sure that's not a crime?
"Then...appeared quietly behind him..."
"Hmm...quietly..."
"After that, hug him hard! Tell her, 'I have something to ask you for help.'" (See the last volume of "Conquering District 11" for details)
“…will this work?”
"Don't worry, it's no problem!"
Minato said decisively.
As for me... ahem, what happened next is something I'm happy to hear.
"Hold me hard...is this what it feels like?"
sword stretched out his hands forward.
That breath is... powerful magic!
What if I get a bear hug from this guy?
"Was that... American wrestling?"
"What?"
"I'm just talking about hugging, right? Why are you adding magical powers as if nothing happened... I'm afraid I'll die if I eat this!"
"No! If you don't do this, you will be defended!"
"Please, I'm not asking you to attack!"
But is such a conversation really okay? Obviously Sword didn't want to reveal that the other party was Wen, but now it has been completely exposed.
He secretly glanced at Xun beside him, and his face was pale at the moment.
"...Hey...Xiao Feng, why is it that it was obviously a relationship consultation for Sword, but suddenly it became a consultation on assassination of me?"
Forget it...it's better not to have any hope for emotionless creatures.
"By the way, don't you have the power of a guardian witch? Then there's no need to be afraid."
"Although this is true, but..."
It seems that it is not a very useful ability. Think about it, such a convenient ability must have disadvantages.
"If it's inconvenient, why fight so hard?" I worked so hard because I couldn't die and wanted to protect what was in my heart.
And Xun doesn't look like a "hero" no matter how he looks at it.
"Huh?" Xun looked at me in confusion, "What are you talking about... As long as there is a reason to fight for it, no matter how big or small your strength is, you can only use your energy to fight, right?"
In other words, you don’t fight just because you have a chance of winning or because you have the ability.
That's a given, he asserted.
"...That's it."
This guy really knows how to be cool.
In this way, Sword is really hard. It's obviously the first time we meet but he puts a flag on me. This is really incredible.
I smiled bitterly and looked at the TV again.
"Then, sword... after completing a series of foreplay, I will confess my love."
"Um?"
"How about some practice?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a witchcraft barrage appeared on the screen.
The general meaning is "Wow, oh, oh, oh!", "Dingdingdingding," "Gj, girls," and the like.
The number of online viewers has exceeded 100,000, and the barrage is also growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It will have to be done sooner or later anyway!"
Swoed, who had always been very straightforward, suddenly became squirmy.
It's no wonder, no matter what the other person is, she is still a girl, so she will naturally be nervous when she confesses her love.
As expected, she is a heroine that Lian Minato likes. The shy sword with blushing cheeks is really super cute. With such destructive power, even I, who was single-minded, started to get distracted.
"Look at the barrage, the audience is also looking forward to it."
"It's not because of you!"
"So, give it a try! It's just practice anyway. In this way, the formal confession will not fail, and the audience will be happy. It's like killing two birds with one stone."
"Um……"
Sword shook his shoulders slightly and lowered his head.
The excited audience was also in high spirits and flooded the screen with "confession", as if they would not give up until they achieved their goal.
"Yes, but what should we do?"
"Nature is the best."
"Then..." Sword stood up vigorously and took a deep breath.
"Don't be nervous, just think of me as your inquiry."
Uh...are you not going to hide it at all?
Forget it, you think it’s impossible for Xun to be watching this live broadcast anyway, right? But even if you take it into consideration, is this really a manly thing?
"Here we go..." Sword clenched his fists with both hands and shouted with great force, "You, you, you, you, you pervert... actually, actually..."
What’s going on with the blades surrounding the sword!”
"stop--!"
Shout the card as hard as you can.
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong! What was that just now?"
To Minato's question, Sword said in a naturally cute tone: "Confession!"
"But why does it sound like you met the enemy who killed your father?"
With blades surrounding your body, you feel like a super soldier!
But I think Sword wants to say something like "I actually fell in love with you."
"Ha... luckily it's just practice."
Minato expressed my thoughts.
And sword looked a little unhappy: "Then what should I do?"
"Don't yell at all. Instead, express your feelings in a cute, shy tone."
"Are you like this too?"
"Of course! If you don't believe it, just read the last volume of District 11."
Indeed...then I couldn't hold it any longer...
"Really? There was indeed something wrong with that just now."
"Originally, let me help you think of your lines."
"Hmm..." But after thinking about it for a while, Sword still shook his head.
"Forget it...Since you are conveying your own feelings, how can you use other people's lines?"
"……makes sense."
"Actually, it's not a troublesome thing. You just need to translate your feelings into words and convey them."
Sword smiled brightly, "If this fails, there is nothing we can do.
That's right - I understand why Minato admires her.
Sword is a girl who is not only strong and cute, but also has a decisive demeanor.
"That's right..." Minato repeated the change, "That's right..."
However, things clearly backfired, and his expectations were clearly disappointed, but Minato showed the same smile as Sword.
So...how would Xun feel if he saw the scene just now?
I turned my head.
Suddenly, the alarm bell sounded...
The lazy expression on Xun's face disappeared instantly.
"It looks like..."
Indeed, it is not meaningless for me and Xunlai.
