With [Gem Heart], Fries-san as the front row can finally share the damage properly, and Nakagawa Shin can also distribute his attacks more evenly, and the speed of clearing the level has increased a lot.

In this way, everyone fought for a very long time, until French Fries Sang also reached the level of job transfer. After accepting the job transfer task, everyone stood at the door of the dungeon with some reluctance.

There is no other way, because everyone’s cooperation is so great, and it was so easy to pass the level.

Therefore, no matter who it is, they are still a little hesitant about whether to open it again.

"…Well, it's getting late. How about coming back tomorrow?"

In the end, it was Shirogane Rinko who glanced at the clock in the lower right corner and spoke softly.

Although tomorrow is the weekend, it is still not a good idea to stay up late.

“Hehe, RinRin is actually sleepy at this time? But as a night agent——well…”

“…Yako won’t feel sleepy!”

Rubbing his sore eyes quickly, Ueda Kagawa, with a stiff face, looked at the man who had just returned from the funeral.

"Well, it's really getting late, Shirogane-san, Udagawa-san...it's time to get here today."

At this moment, it is up to the only normal person, Hikawa Sayo, to step on the brakes.

If it were usual, Ako would definitely force Platinum Rinko to play a dungeon again to prove that she, as the Great Demon Princess, did not need sleep. Then, she would often fall asleep in the dungeon because her eyelids would droop. As a result, Platinum Rinko would be besieged by monsters and sent back to the dungeon entrance pitifully.

Well...it does look very A-ko-like.

[Thank you for today, ShinShin-san.]

【See you tomorrow ShinShin-san(つ??`)つ】

[Hehe, from now on, you are allowed to be the servant of this great demon princess! ]

Looking at the farewell of his new friends in front of him, Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed deeply and smiled slightly.

【See you tomorrow.】

After gently clicking the offline button, listening to the buzzing sound of the computer fan, Nakagawa Nobuyuki lay flat on his seat, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

I finally got rid of my addiction tonight... Playing games with others is really fun... I even made a new friend this way, which is really a good way to make friends.

By the way, RinRin-san said that the Gem Heart is very valuable. Although I have already given it to someone else, it might be a good opportunity to see how valuable it is, right?

Thinking of this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki slowly took out his cell phone.

five minutes later.

Hmm...the guy whose color has faded by the wall should be Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

Zhonghe Xin tightly grasped the mobile phone in his hand. In the forum, he searched for "Gem Heart" and immediately saw a lot of purchase requests.

I didn't expect that this equipment... is actually worth a lot of money just as RinRin-san said...

The mood remained low for a few minutes, and finally Nakagawa Nobuyuki, feeling full of regret, let out a soft sigh.

Oh, forget it. If I were thrown back to that time, I would probably still give this thing to French Fries-san. There's no need to worry about gains and losses.

Thinking of this, looking at the already pitch-black night outside the window, Nakagawa Nobuyuki slowly opened a corner of the window, letting the night breeze gently slip into his room.

Okay, it’s time to go to bed. We have to go to Nagasaki tomorrow.

After a simple wash, with the crisp sound of the light switch, perhaps because he was very tired today, Nakagawa Nobuyuki fell into a deep sleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

I don't know how long it took, but with a series of tiny sounds of a door opening, a little blue octopus with a nervous face quietly opened the door of the room and poked its head out from the crack.

grunt.

I don't know if it was because the room was too quiet or because Toyokawa Shoko was too nervous, but the sound of swallowing saliva seemed particularly loud.

Just like that, Toyokawa Shoko, wearing pajamas, tiptoed to the position of Nakagawa Nobuyuki's bed after making sure that the door behind her was closed tightly.

Fortunately, Nakagawa Nobuyuki did not draw the curtains at night. With the moonlight outside the window, Toyokawa Shoko, whose heart was about to jump out of her chest, could still see the road clearly.

Step by step, for fear of waking up the sleeping Nakagawa Nobu, Toyokawa Shoko finally quietly lay down beside Nakagawa Nobu's bed.

Feeling the familiar fresh scent of sunshine and looking at the defenseless profile of Shin in the moonlight, Toyokawa Shoko, who was extremely flustered, subconsciously licked her lips which had inexplicably become a little dry.

Go slow... go slow...

Gently... Gently...

I'm about to get under the quilt...

"Um……"

Suddenly, a small, low, trembling sound came from Nakagawa Nobu's throat. Toyokawa Shoko, who was already feeling guilty, almost fell off the bed out of fright.

The stalemate lasted for a long time. After confirming that Xin had not woken up, Toyokawa Shoko gritted her teeth and continued her actions.

Because... it would be too lonely if I were alone there.

No matter what, I still wanted to stay with Xin... When I realized what was happening, I was already standing at Xin's door.

...I just want to save electricity. Yes, it’s just to save electricity. It’s such a waste to use the air conditioner by myself.

After hypnotizing himself in this way, Xiaoxiang finally curled up in the quilt.

But the bed today was quite different from when the two of them slept together some time ago.

At that time, Nakagawa Nobuyuki knew that he was sleeping with Shoko, so he intentionally made some space for Toyokawa Shoko, so that the two of them could at least keep a little distance.

But it was different tonight. Nakagawa Nobuyuki was sleeping right in the middle, which meant that there was very little space left on either side for Toyokawa Shoko to sneak over.

However... this may unexpectedly be good news for Toyokawa Shoko.

Because, at this distance... a certain little blue octopus can even... feel Xin's warm breath, gently brushing across the tip of his nose, making the person feel a little itchy in his heart.

Dong Dong, Dong Dong, Dong Dong...

When I rest my head on the same pillow with Nakagawa Nobuyuki, I can even hear two heartbeats at the same time.

One is my own, with a flustered and nervous heartbeat.

The other is the heartbeat from faith, steady and powerful...

What are you thinking about?

...I don't understand that kind of thing at all.

Ten centimeters...

Five centimeters...

Two centimeters...

When I came to my senses again, my lips had already quietly touched Xin's cheek.

I was so bold that even Toyokawa Shoko herself was scared... What if, what if Xin woke her up, what would I say?

However, Toyokawa Shoko was indeed very lucky... At least, Nakagawa Nobuyuki did sleep very soundly today.

"……Fool."

Mumbling quietly, I don't know if Toyokawa Shoko is scolding Nakagawa Nobu who is sleeping too soundly in front of her, or scolding herself who is secretly expecting something...

But anyway, Toyokawa Shoko just shrugged gently into Nakagawa Nobu's arms and felt again... that incomparable sense of security and tranquility.

Of course... there is also a little bit of relief and joy.

…Nobu, no matter what your relationship with Aine-san is——but, you and I are a [real couple]…

...Tonight, let me have such a dream.

261

Chapter 261: Su Shi: Zhonghe...what kind of breakfast do you like...

When the sun rises outside the window on Saturday, it means that a weekend for both office workers and students to celebrate has arrived.

This morning, there was no annoying alarm clock, and it was a cloudy day, which was perfect for going out for a walk.

But... Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who had slept very soundly last night, finally opened his eyes in a daze.

Last night... I didn't seem to have closed the curtains, so how come the curtains were closed by themselves?

After staring at the ceiling in a daze for a few seconds, Nakagawa Nobuyuki slowly sat up from the bed.

...Strange, why does my collar feel wet? Is it the condensation water from the air conditioner that has flowed back in?... That's not right. I didn't turn on the air conditioner last night.

Forget it...why bother about that.

After a long stretch, Nakagawa Nobuyuki stood up shakily from the bed.

Today... First I have to go find Nagasaki and send that little three-legged cat to the volunteers. The Angel Cafe is closed in the afternoon... I'll see if Nagasaki and the others will go to practice then. I'll go to RiNG to review my lessons and then go to Starry in the evening...

Alas, it’s really a weekend life that you can predict the end of.

Although he thought so in his heart, Nakagawa Nobuyuki still sighed lightly, but his mood still became cheerful.

At least, a life with a little purpose is always happier than going out early and coming back late, working hard just to pay the water, electricity and rent.

When Nakagawa Xin gently picked up his mobile phone, he happened to find a small blue note pressed under the phone.

[Xin, I slept soundly this morning, so I didn’t want to wake you up. ]

[I've also closed the curtains, so let's get some good sleep first...? ]

[By the way, my washing machine seems to be broken... so I borrowed the washing machine from Xia Xin for a while. ]

[Well, I have too much to say, but please don’t think I’m being long-winded. ]

【See you tonight! 】

At the bottom of the note, there was a drawing of a chubby little octopus, staring at Nakagawa Nobuyuki with a suspicious expression. With its round head and round face, it looked quite cute.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki smiled slightly, picked up the ballpoint pen beside him, added two thin hairbands to the octopus's head, and then stuck the note back on his bedside.

After a quick wash and brushing his teeth, Nakagawa Nobuyuki took out his cell phone and sent a message to Nagasaki Motoyo.

……

[Yes, I will pick you up downstairs. ]

Nagasaki Suyo, who was leaning on the sofa and sipping instant latte, gently pressed the screen of her mobile phone and replied to Nakagawa Nobuyuki slowly.

On her knees was a curled-up kitten, its orange tail hanging easily on Nagasaki Suyo's knees.

"Xiao Sushi~ Then mom will go out~"

From the direction of the entrance, you can hear Nagasaki Yuko's particularly cheerful farewell voice.

"Bon voyage~"

Similarly, Nagasaki Motoyo also said goodbye to her mother in a sweet voice... However, Nagasaki Yuko's farewell turned into a few muffled sneezes.

There is no way. Since I am allergic to cat hair, I definitely cannot continue to keep it.

Alas... we haven't even had time to come up with a name yet?

Nagasaki Motoyo gently supported the cat's front legs and lifted the kitten in front of her, so that its eyes were exactly at the same level as her own lake blue eyes.

"Meow~"

"Meow~"

The kitten, which had turned into a long cat, blinked, causing Nagasaki Suyo to blink subconsciously as well.

After looking at each other for a while, Nagasaki Suyo sighed softly, put down the cat in his hand with some regret, and let it go to eat cat food by itself.

After brushing off the cat hair that was still stuck on her pajamas, Nagasaki Suyo slowly walked towards the open kitchen.

...Wait a moment, Zhonghe is here. I don’t know if Zhonghe has had breakfast.

Come to think of it, I still don't know how to face Zhonghe alone... I feel that I can't face him with a purely despicable mentality like before, but as for friends... I don't know what to do.

While thinking about some inexplicable things, Nagasaki Suyo, who was leaning on the chopping board, subconsciously took out her mobile phone.

...Give him a call and ask him.

The call was connected very quickly, it seems that Zhonghe acted quickly.

"Zhonghe, have you had breakfast?"

She opened the magnetic door of the refrigerator in front of her, and a gust of cool air made her feel a little uncomfortable at first. While talking to Nakagawa Nobuyuki, Nagasaki Suyo carefully selected the ingredients.

Fried eggs and bread... isn't that too ordinary?
