After washing the dishes, Xingji took a bath comfortably and prepared to go to bed. Although he seemed to have forgotten something, he thought about it again. If he forgot, it means it was not an important thing. He would think about it again tomorrow.

It’s not impossible to do it, right?

But the moment Xingji lifted the sheets, there seemed to be a knock on his window.

"Dong dong dong - dong dong dong -"

Xingji also remembered at this moment what he had forgotten.

Sure enough, Xingji opened the curtains and saw Rita, a blond girl with her arms wrapped around her and shivering in the evening breeze.

I closed the curtains again, walked out of the room and put on my slippers. I saw Rita at the door of Sakura Manor in the rustling autumn wind. She "should obviously leave". Although this poor and helpless child was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, she was still under the cold wind.

She still looks miserable now.

But even though she was like this, she still looked up at the stars with moist eyes and said something outrageous:

"Too slow! - not that guy with handsome eyes?!"

"Even if someone comes out to help you, you are still picky, and who told you to knock on my window?"

"It is a gentleman's duty to help a beautiful lady in need!"

This was indeed the case. Xing was speechless and could only blame himself for being petty.

"You'd better come in first, you won't be feeling well if you catch a cold. Also, don't disturb Senior Ren...that is, the handsome guy with the eyes. His long-distance love affair that has lasted seven years has just started to pick up a bit recently."

After introducing Rita into the house and introducing her to the location of the bathroom and how to use the water heater, Xingqi ignored her and took out a doll-like pajamas and pajamas that had been prepared for Mashiro from the box under the bed.

The new vacuum-packed blue and white **, finally removed the table in the room and opened the floor.

In this case, it was considered that he was fully prepared. Xing immediately yawned and lay down on his bed.

What? You said give the bed to the girl and go to the living room by yourself?

Could it be that he has lost his mind? It’s not because of the excessive secretion of hormones during puberty, nor is he deliberately trying to please Rita, nor is he a lovable type like Mashiro. Even if Hoshiki is occasionally reincarnated into a girl, he will not be able to control him.

How could a billionaire straight man sacrifice himself?

Without turning off the lights, Xingji fell asleep peacefully and peacefully...

There is a ghost!

Xingke was awakened by the faint sound of sobbing in his ears. There was no strong light in his eyes. Then in the dim light outside the window, Xingke saw the golden retriever Shiba Inu curled up in a ball. She was crying sadly.

There was no other way, so Xingji was ready to comfort this deflated child.

"Miss Bai Quan, can you tell me your troubles?"

When she heard that Xingji had woken up, Rita immediately stopped sobbing, sat up from the floor, and said angrily:

"I didn't lose! You also prepared this Shiba Inu costume for me! Are you laughing at me?

Moreover, leaving a beautiful lady like me alone and sleeping alone! You are really going too far! Bastard!"

Xingkou buried his face into the pillow and replied feebly.

"You also know that I prepared a change of clothes. I don't care about precautions. That's too much. I don't even have the right to sleep in my own room?"

Maybe this is the first time I have seen a young man who doesn't treat his appearance specially? The British gentleman culture has been tarnished by shameless people like Xing Ke. Rita couldn't think of a good way for a while, and secretly cursed for being stupid.

Then the topic changed:

"...Speaking of which, why do you have women's underwear? Could it be that you are the rumored...neon pervert (OTAKU)?"

"Madam, you seem to have some misunderstanding about perversion (OTAKU). You won't listen if I want to refute here, so I won't say anything more. As for why I have women's clothing..."

Helplessly, he sat up from the bed. Xingji, who was fully awake, stretched out his right hand to Rita in the dim light:

"Hello, Comrade Rita Einzwas.

Now I would like to formally introduce myself as the person in charge of the neon branch of Zhenbai Protection Association, organization number NO.00, the leader wants to pay tribute to you, and will take care of you in the future."

"I understand, you're the big bad wolf (He) who is targeting this little sheep, Mashiro.

tai), that’s why you treat me so much! Just watch! I won’t let you succeed!”

But Rita covered her chest, quickly moved back two steps, and sounded a cold warning. This made Xingji's hand hanging in the air a little confused.

"Why is this happening? In the beginning, I personally changed Mashiro's clothes every morning. If I had the intention, I would have done everything I could."

Rita thought for a moment, then said uncertainly:

"Maybe you are this type of pervert?"

"What kind of pervert is this type of pervert? Just stop it."

Giving up her poor acting skills, Rita sat back down and said seriously:

"...I believe you."

"That's good."

"He's an impotent weakling."

"Get out of here."

Seeing the angry Xing Mo, Rita smiled and said without changing her words:

"I'm just kidding, I believe in Mashiro's vision. Although that child looks cute, her intuition is always very accurate. Since she fills your room with her drawings, it means that she approves of you.

I used to be a painter, and I can feel the effort that the child put into this mural.

And anyone who approves of Zhenbai, I also approve of."

I used to be a painter, which means I don’t paint now? Xing Ke roughly guessed some possibilities.

"Rita, you really admire Mashiro very much...but, that's right.

You have been with Mashiro for the longest time, and you are the one who understands Mashiro the best.

Whether it’s talent, personality, or everything else.”

Hearing what Xingke said, Rita's expression did not change much, but it was obvious that the atmosphere became sad.

"...Yes, you are right. It seems that you also understand someone. That child is overwhelmingly powerful.

In this case, you must understand the reason why I want Mashiro to return to the UK, right?

Please help me convince Mashiro!"

"I reject!"

"Why?"

"One of my favorite things in life is to say NO to those self-righteous guys."

"You just want to say this line, right? I'm pretty familiar with Neon's comics."

"But I still refuse."

"Why! Do you also want to be destroyed by Mashiro?! - Don't you want Mashiro to disappear! -"

Rita Einzwas, of course she recognized Mashiro, recognized her better than anyone else, and understood her better than anyone else.

She was the person closest to Mashiro from the moment he started learning to draw.

But it was precisely this understanding that caused Rita to be..."broken" by Mashiro.

Under the guidance of Rita's grandfather, whenever Mashiro and she completed the same painting, she could see some differences in her grandfather's seriousness.

The way he looks at himself is like looking at a cute child showing off his toys, very cute and warm.

But looking at Mashiro's paintings is like looking at a painting. That is the true look of seeing a work of art, and that is the look of looking at a painter in the same position.

So, of course, my grandfather, who regarded painting as the ultimate goal of life and the meaning of existence, would spend more time on Mashiro.

It is a mentality that since you can't reach the highest peak, you should at least lift the highest peak to that position with your own hands. This is also a common problem of every old painter who has entered the end of his life and has half a foot in the coffin.

Rita knew this, so she never complained about her grandfather. She just thought that she didn't work hard enough to satisfy her grandfather, so she worked harder to paint.

but……

no, sorry.

On the contrary, it is even worse than the original painting. It has degraded from painting to a mass product. Mass-produced paintings lack soul. She pushed herself too hard.

But at this moment, she discovered that just as she was regressing, Mashiro had advanced rapidly to a level that was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

It was at that time that Rita finally understood the importance of [talent].

That's why Rita was [broken by Mashiro]. The feeling of being unable to catch up with someone else's little toe is really painful.

[Do you also want to be ruined by Mashiro?] Xingke understands the meaning of this somewhat terrible line.

However, he didn't know how to answer Rita. There were a lot of "sexy operations" in his head now, but seeing this secret cry just now broke his guard, and he instinctively looked for Xingke, his "confidant"

"The girl Xing Keyou didn't want to be too harsh and shamefully soft-hearted.

But among all the "sexy tricks" in her mind, none of them could enlighten her without hurting her.

This is really...Habits have limited my thinking, can I only take the annoying path?

In those few moments of hesitation, Rita realized that she seemed to have said too much to the strange man she had met for less than a few hours, so she hurriedly tried to save him.

"That's it! Think carefully about Mashiro's future, and then give me an answer. Go to sleep!~"

"……Good night."
