At some point in time..,

Outside the window, the rain had stopped.

Fu Mourning God, who had finished watching the movie, rubbed their shoulders and discussed the plot as they walked out of the activity room,

They were ready to return to their rooms.

Wu Hu retreated behind his two elder brothers and excitedly described his excitement from watching the movie. Ichijin Ichijin and the pharmacist Toshiro Shiro nodded in agreement.

While walking in the direction of the training ground.

When they reached the corner,

Kendo Shiro coughed lightly,

His purple eyes fell on the silver-haired Shortsword with some hesitation. "Retreat,

It's getting late,

It's time to wash up and go to bed to rest. "

"Ah... yes, yes, I'm sorry..." he realized that he was too noisy,

Five Tigers Retreat lowered their heads shyly, but they still followed closely behind the two of them,

They had no intention of stopping.

"Retreat to Sauce's room,

It's over there, right? "The blue-haired Taitō smiled gently,

Repeating this fact that everyone knew.

A trace of astonishment flashed through his right eye that was covered by soft silver hair,

Then..,

His feet that were stepping on his socks stopped.

The little boy clasped his hands and stood behind the two vibrating blades. His entire person instantly fell into a silent and low mood.

"I, I know... I, I'm sorry to disturb you..."

Shortsword's usually soft and timid voice was filled with restrained disappointment, but he could not hide it at all.

He bowed to his two brothers and said, "Thank you for your care today."

Then, he fled the way he came without looking back.

"Brother One Vibration..." even though they had only been together for a short day,

After all, he was his younger brother,

It was difficult for Kendo Shiro to pretend that nothing had happened.

But the vibrating blade in charge was not him.

All he could do was carefully observe Taitō's expression and convey his worries to the other party at the right time.

One Vibration shook his head guiltily and helplessly at Kendo Shiro. He pursed his lips and took the lead to continue walking forward.

Jiazhou Qingguang and Horikawa Kunihiro were the only two dual-wielding swords that appeared in the Shinsengumi group. Naturally, they chose the rooms next to each other.

The Five Tigers Retreat ran past them and they were chatting with each other.

The two of them looked at each other and thought of the saber that followed the Five Tigers Retreat when they left. Both of them could roughly guess what was going on.

As the saying goes, the onlooker sees more clearly than the player involved.

Everyone knew that One Vibration had a vague rejection and rejection of the Five Tigers Retreat.

However, only the Five Tigers Retreat seemed to be unaware of this and continued to press forward.

He didn't know if it was because he was too slow to notice it, or if it was because he didn't want to investigate and only lived in the illusion he created.

"I'll go."

Jiazhou Qingguang picked up his scarf and wrapped it around his neck. He followed the Five Tigers Retreat and left his room.

Horikawa Kunihiro, who was also very worried, wanted to follow and take a look. However, when he considered that the number of sabers present was greater than two, it would be difficult to have a private conversation. He obediently closed his paper door.

The Five Tigers Retreat did not return to his bedroom.

He squatted by the pool and stared blankly at the koi swimming in the water with the help of the light under the bridge. From time to time, he wiped away the tears in his eyes with his hand.

"Hey, this thing is cute, isn't it?!"

The black-haired swordsman with red lace clogs stepped on the grass and came to the little boy's side. He handed him a white magnolia flower that he picked up nearby.

The white magnolia flower's petals were slightly incomplete, but the elegant color and soft touch, as well as the moist petals that were wet with raindrops, were still very beautiful and moving.

The Five Tigers Retreat naturally knew that the other party had come for them.

However, when he thought of his brothers' tough and merciless rejection, and compared the two, tears began to roll in his eyes again.

"… Actually, I'm not very good at dealing with this kind of situation," Jiazhou Qingguang scratched his head, and his clear youthful voice was quite troubled.

"I'm sorry …" The Five Tigers Retreat shrunk into a small ball, and their voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

The black-haired swordsman sighed, looked at the flower in his hand, and said to himself, "You see, such a beautiful flower, but its blooming period is very short … After the rain, there won't be many left on the tree …"

"A few hours ago, it was still blooming wantonly on the branches. Now, it's falling to the ground one by one, covered in mud. When the sun rises, probably not many people will notice how dirty it is …"

"Calm him down, if he sees it, he will definitely nag a few more times.

Once he's done nagging, he'll fall into a deep sleep, looking like a heartless person. "

"Mr. California …" Attracted by the name in the other party's words, the Five Tigers Retreat turned their heads and called out softly with uncertainty.

"Ah … You've been nagging for so long … It seems that you didn't get to the main point."

The black-haired swordsman pursed his lips and put the broken magnolia flower in the palm of Snickerswordsman. "Although a few pieces have fallen, it's still very cute, right?"

Jiazhou Qingguang turned around and pointed at the shadow of the magnolia tree not far away. "… And when those on the tree wither, the branches will be full of green leaves, and it will cover a small area of shade in summer."

"You're much luckier than me, who doesn't know when I'll be able to meet the person I want to meet. Ah …" Jiazhou Qingguang patted the hem of his clothes, stood up, and said to him, "Do you need me to remind you?

… No matter what happened in the past, the most important thing now is that your brother, One Vibration, is in This Pill.

”

"When the flowers wither, new leaves will grow; and tomorrow, you don't know what will be waiting for you …"

"Let's go, let's take a hot bath together, then crawl into the warm bed and have a good dream …"

The Five Tigers Retreat stared blankly at the flower in the palm of his hand. Suddenly, he grunted and clenched his fist.

*

Ji Kai opened his eyes, and what he saw was not Honmaru's log-colored ceiling, but a handsome face with blonde hair and blue eyes, a high nose, and deep eyes.

"…"

Ji Kai removed the game simulator from his temple and raised his eyebrows at the uninvited person.

"You gave me the spare room card." Zhou Sen quickly threw out evidence to prove that he was not an illegal intruder.

The owner of the room glanced at him and poured himself a glass of water. As he sipped, he crossed his slender legs and looked bored to death.

"… Are you kidding me?"

Zhou Sen looked at his posture and immediately frowned, "How can you forget your dad's speech? Are you his biological son?"

Is this important?

Why do you have to specifically remember it?

Ji Kai cursed in his mind and pulled his face, "Look at this sissy face …"

"A straight A student is actually sexist!

Be careful not to be heard by others and give you a super low score! "

Ji Kai put down the glass of water and put on his jacket. The two of them talked nonsense as they took the elevator down to the lobby on the first floor.

The lobby was full of people. Most of the residents had come down.

Everyone lined up in an orderly manner and followed the directions to the administrative district's conference hall to listen to the election tour speech of Intercontinental Senator Ji Teng.

Not everyone was qualified to attend the speech.

As a young man who wasn't particularly outstanding in the middle class, Zhou Sen was able to get the admission ticket every year because he had a good friend. And his good friend happened to be the only son of this big shot.

Since the 22nd century, natural resources had entered a state of extreme scarcity.

In the context of the continuous extension of the upper limit of human life, the federal government had been trying to control the total amount of resources, but they had not made much progress.

The lottery system for reproductive rights came into being.

As the result of Ji Teng's ten years of hard work, Ji Kai enjoyed unspeakable love for the first few decades of his life.

And since he had a face that was almost no different from his biological father, no matter how much the otaku Ji Kai wanted to keep a low profile, it was futile.

Therefore, he basically didn't leave the house. He focused on playing games and exercising on time. The only luxury was that when he was in a bad mood, he could casually choose from the food replicator.

His biological father was talking on the stage while his son was drooling in his sleep.

Sitting next to him, Zouchen was annoyed by those secretly sizing him up.

Although he was a famous celebrity in the game, there was still a difference between online and offline. This collection of curious, gossipy, and jealous stares was enough to make him suffer.

A few hours of speech ended.

The audience applauded and cheered.

Zhou Sen dragged his sleepy friend backstage. Councilman Ji was waiting for them in the lounge.

The bodyguards opened the door for them. After they entered, they closed the door tightly.

"Kaikai!"

As soon as Ji Teng saw his son, he instantly changed from an elegant and handsome elite to a young man with pink bubbles in his eyes. He didn't care that there was another person present. He rushed over and grabbed the young man into his arms. "Let daddy take a good look at you!

… Why did you lose weight again? Are you picky again?!

… And you have dark circles … You're drooling … Did you stay up late to play games again?! "

Speaking of games, the young man, who had been letting him touch him, suddenly remembered Hasebe, who fell asleep under the blanket.

He removed the councilman from his body and hurriedly went out. "I remembered something …"

"Guy!"

Councilman Ji shouted. The bodyguards in the corner of the room suddenly moved at the same time. In a flash, a few of them worked together and twisted the black-haired young man into an electric medical chair.

"Uh … Dad …" Without needing to connect to the equipment, the young man knew that his indicators wouldn't be too good after working so hard for the past few days.

In fact, he had the ability to break free from these tall and burly men. But what would happen after he broke free?

Would he explain to Councilman Ji where he got his monstrous strength?

Ji Teng's long and narrow eyes stared fiercely at his disobedient son.

Ji Kai rolled his eyes and decided to remain silent.

Ten minutes later, all the indicators were monitored.

Ji Kai could finally move freely. He rubbed his wrist and pretended to be hurt by this rude behavior. He tried to gain some sympathy in the next scene.

However, Ji Teng was uncharacteristically unmoved.

He discussed with the doctor in the white coat in the small cubicle for a while. Then, he walked out with a cold face and asked condescendingly, "What games have you been playing recently?"

"Uh … A retirement game?"

"Name."

"Sword and Blade Dance."

"…" The man suddenly raised his eyebrows. He turned around and looked like he wanted to end the conversation. "Zhou Sen will take over your account."

"That's not fair!" Ji Kai got up and chased after him to stop him. "I didn't violate any of the terms of the agreement."

"Dr. Dawson and I agreed that this game is not good for your physical and mental development."
