I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

"But the fact is that this is not the case... Real protection is not to cover children under indestructible wings, but to enable them to distinguish what is right, what is wrong, and what needs to be pursued. ....and what needs to be avoided.”

"They need to learn how to face the world with their own identities. Only in this way can people feel at ease."

Don't encourage others to do good unless they have suffered.

This principle is also applicable to humans who suffered the massacre of their relatives by gasterozoans. There is nothing wrong with both, they just have different stances.

"...."

Cheng Rang had to agree with this and could only remain silent. Seeing this, Old Matsuzaki bent down and took out a stack of reports from the oil carton, took one out and handed it to Cheng Rang.

"This is....?"

"Lina's examination report, she is also a child that makes me worried."

After receiving the report, Cheng Rang looked at the most eye-catching line.

[Gastroenterovirus erosion rate——32.1%]

[Predict the remaining activity period——]

"981 days...?"

Cheng Rang looked up at Matsuzaki.

"This is the test report from three months ago. When I came back today, I heard that she has been using her abilities to fight gastrea, so I hope you can take her for the latest test."

Matsuzaki said: "Lina is a child who has always been warm and kind to others. And Xue, who has always been very close to her, also protects her very well... But precisely because of this, it makes people feel uneasy. ah......"

Cheng Rang handed back the report.

"give it to me."

The candlelight was extinguished and the surrounding area was completely plunged into darkness, while Cheng Rang found a place to sleep on the ground.

——————————————

With Cheng Rang leading Lina, other passers-by can at least think that she is a combination of promoter and initiator, and the testing agency she went to this time is also an acquaintance.

Shinoda Kazuzou - a doctor at a hospital in the Tokyo area, who is acquainted with the old Matsuzaki, is one of the few humans who has no prejudice against cursed children. From time to time, she will take time to run to the peripheral area to check the erosion rate of the children here, and she has always been We do not charge any fees and pay out of pocket, so we are also trusted by children.

"I have always been indebted to her for taking care of her, but I have been a little neglectful of greetings recently. This time, Mr. Cheng also wanted to express my gratitude to her on my behalf."

At the same time, an envelope was delivered to Cheng Rang by Matsuzaki.

"This is part of the examination fees and inhibitor fees that I have always owed. I saved a lot of time and was able to pay them back together. Although Miss Shinoda always said that these are nothing, she has always been asked to work hard for the children. I always feel a little bit sorry.”

"I understand, and I will definitely deliver it to Miss Shinoda for you."

The time was set two days later because it was Miss Shinoda's day off and the hospital was crowded with people. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it would be better to visit her at home.

Coming out of Matsuzaki, Cheng Rang happened to bump into Lina and Xue who were getting together.

The two sat opposite each other, whispering something quietly.

Lina closed her eyes, as if she was brewing something, and then opened them——

"Hoora~Change!"

Seeing the changes in front of her, Xue twitched the corners of her mouth visibly, showing an expression of unwillingness to admit defeat, and then followed Lina and closed her eyes.

When he opened it again, his eyes were still light red, without any change.

Lina proudly raised her shoulders and said, "Humph~ Snow still didn't succeed this time - Lina is indeed a genius!"

"Lina, Xue, what are you doing?" Cheng Rang found it funny, so he stepped forward and asked.

"Ah, it's Brother Cheng!" Because her back was always turned to him, Cheng Rang didn't notice the change in Lina until she turned around.

The iconic red eyes of the Cursed Child disappeared, replaced by a pair of bright black eyes.

Lina in front of her seemed to be an ordinary child, and she gave Cheng Rang a warm smile.

"Lina mastered hiding this earlier than Snow.

The double-eye method is so awesome! "She jumped to Cheng Rang's side, held her face in her hands to indicate her changes to him, and couldn't wait to show off.

I have to say it is the nature of children...

"Well, that's awesome. How did Lina do it?" Cheng Rang followed her wishes and asked, rubbing her head.

"Grandpa taught us that as long as we can control our emotions and relax our bodies as much as possible. If we stay calm, we can hide."

In other words, do you consciously not use the ability enhanced by the gastrovirus?

——This is just Cheng Rang's speculation.

Xue crossed her arms, turned her head and said: "I can master it soon... If Lina can do it, I will also..."

Cheng Rang squatted down in front of her, "I believe you can do it, keep working hard."

Then Cheng Rang's half-stretched hand stopped in mid-air and was stabbed back by Xue's sharp gaze.

Sure enough, you still don't like having your head touched... Cheng Rang smiled bitterly in his heart.

But compared to the situation yesterday where she would retreat as soon as he got close to her, there has been some progress, and at least now he can communicate with Xue without any obstacles.

But no matter what... A cute loli like Lina who likes to cling to people is still the best!

Feeling Lina's little head rubbing back and forth in the palm of his hand, Cheng Rang felt like he was about to become cute.

...

"Ah, Lina, your eyes have returned."

Lina heard the sound and jumped out of Cheng Rang's arms.

"Eh?! Is that so?" She held up her hot cheeks and whispered: "That...that's because Lina really likes Brother Cheng...when they are so intimate together, I can’t control my happy mood at all.”

"So, brother Cheng must marry Lina as his wife!"

"That's the opposite!" Cheng Rang complained subconsciously and realized that this was completely inappropriate. He immediately reacted and said: "No, no, no, Lina is still too young. Where did you learn these messy things? ——”

"You have to call the police... You have to call the police..." Xue's suddenly darkened face sent a chill down Cheng Rang's spine.

"Wait a minute, Sir! This is all a misunderstanding!"

Chapter 12 Come, brother will take you to have an exciting time

On the day of departure, when Cheng Rang led Lina out of the shelter, he felt that his back was about to be pierced by Xue's resentful eyes.

"There's nothing we can do~ Because Xue hasn't learned how to hide her eyes, so Lina can only accompany Brother Cheng to go out to play!"

You don’t know that when Lina said this stupidly, Xue’s gray curly hair almost exploded into straight hair.

"Lina, Xue is just worried about you..."

"Eh? Is that so?"

"..."

Cheng Rang could only sigh deeply helplessly and hold Lina's little hand tightly.

"Be obedient and don't run around." After Cheng Rang warned her again, he turned back and nodded to Matsuzaki who was following him.

"Be careful on the road."

"Yes, I'm leaving."

Two figures, one tall and one short, walked towards the interior of Tokyo as Snow and Matsuzaki watched.

——————————————————————

Wearing a brand new sailor uniform with a black and white short skirt, Lina followed Cheng Rang with happy little steps.

"Does the clothes still fit?"

"Yes! I like it!" Lina nodded vigorously, her eyes resting on the shiny brown leather shoes on her feet, as if she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and the corners of her raised mouth could not fall down.

"Don't be too excited, your eyes... have turned red again." Cheng Rang smiled and pointed at Lina's eyes. She quickly stopped and took a few deep breaths. Her red eyes dimmed again and turned into watery eyes. Spiritual black.

Unexpectedly, the clothes prepared for Leticia looked just right for Lina... Cheng Rang looked at Lina, who was dressed in a cute outfit, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.

The genuine lolita in the white silk sailor suit... is ten thousand times cuter than the white hair. It is indeed the right choice to keep a few sets secretly.

Even if it was replaced by Leticia, it would still be as clean as new——

So you should call the police immediately!

Cheng Rang: You guys know nothing. This is a sacred weapon. Do you understand the sacred weapon? As a qualified gentleman, the original sailor uniform and white silk stockings of a legal white-haired lolita are simply the ultimate treasure that can be encountered but cannot be obtained...

"Brother Cheng... your expression feels a little strange." Cheng Rang felt his hand being pulled by Lina.

"Ahem, huh? That's weird, maybe you saw it wrong Lina."

After walking in the ruins for about forty minutes, Cheng Rang could finally see something called a "road".

Ah, the road!

——The evidence that human civilization still exists is the crystallization of science and technology! An indispensable link from the wilderness to the future and modernization!

Clang....

With a breeze blowing, the rusty bus stop sign was completely torn from the pillar, falling to the ground and splashing a layer of dust.

The long and straight asphalt road leads to the hazy end. From the light gray mist, you can see the towering buildings and buildings.

"...Don't have a car?"

"How is that possible? Let's go, Brother Cheng!" Lina took the lead and was about to move away.

He walked forward, but was pulled back by Cheng Rang.

Don't want to walk....

I don’t want to walk, I don’t want to walk, I don’t want to walk!

Not to mention walking from the ruins to the roadside, during that period of time, Rang Rang was obsessed with staring at the cute Lina, but after arriving here, there was still an endless road that had to be walked with his feet. Cheng Rang, who had obviously already flown, felt a headache.

"What's wrong? Brother Cheng?"

"Um...Lina, my brother is asking you, have you seen anyone here who can fly in the sky?"

However, the act of trying to confirm from Lina what technology trees humans have mastered in this world seems outrageous in itself.

Lina nodded her chin and thought hard for a while, and finally nodded slowly and paradoxically: "Well, I should have seen it before..."

"That's it... That's good, come on!" Cheng Rang opened his hands to Lina, "Brother will take you to have an exciting play!"

...

A worker working in a factory in the outer area was going to smoke a cigarette and fish as usual. Just when he came to the rooftop of the factory and just picked up the cigarette and lit it in his mouth, a crisp child's laughter began. The extremely fast speed passed through the sky above the head from far to near, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, a black shadow flashed across the ground.

"Huh?!" The worker suddenly opened his eyes and looked up to the sky, so frightened that the cigarette fell from his mouth.

But the blue sky in front of me was so clear and cloudless that there was no shadow of any child.

"Hey - what a ghost..." the worker muttered, looking up and down in the sky, groping for the cigarette that fell on the ground, holding it in his hand, and subconsciously putting it into his mouth.

"Ouch!"

In the blink of an eye, a scream came from the roof of the factory, followed closely by the worker's curse: "Holy shit! Put the burning end in your mouth! Huh~huh~ It's scalding the workers..." "

But the worker did hear it right. There was indeed something flying above his head, but the speed was amazing at the time. When he raised his head and looked around, Cheng Rang, who was holding Lina, had already disappeared from the sight above his head. .

Today, Lina experienced what real flying was for the first time.

"Wow! It's so fun! Brother Cheng, I want to do it again!"

When the two landed near the city, Lina still pestered Cheng Rang to do it again.

"This is just for traveling...so that I can go back as soon as possible."

"Then why don't you fly when you go back? Please, Brother Cheng~"

Lina, who looked pitiful and tugged at the corner of her clothes, begged Cheng Rang so much that Cheng Rang couldn't bear to refuse.

"No problem...we'll fly it when we go back."

"Great!"

Cheng Rang smiled and scratched his head in distress, looking at Lina who was hugging his other arm and giggling, and thought to himself: Isn't this completely without suspicion? Is it possible that some people here can really fly in the sky?
