Lunch was a seafood set meal. The shellfish were delicious, the crab meat was soft, and the prawns were chewy. Heyue was very satisfied.

After the waiter put away the dinner plate, Heyue sat on the sofa and rubbed her belly, feeling sleepy while resting on the cute jellyfish pillow.

At this time, Gin took something out of the bag on the side and threw it into her arms very casually.

Heyue, who was sleepy, hurriedly caught it, and the cold touch made her sober up.

It's a dagger.

A very beautiful dagger. The scabbard is a cool silver color with complex patterns carved on it. It looks low-key and noble.

Heyue subconsciously looked up at him, and met those green eyes.

His eyes were calm and he looked at her steadily, "It's yours."

Such a relaxed and ordinary tone, as if this is not a dagger, but a taiyaki.

Heyue held the handle of the knife, and the blade slowly slid out of the scabbard as she moved, revealing the sharp blade with a cold light. The light fell on the blade, and she could even see her own face clearly.

A very sharp dagger.

This is the most special gift He Yue has ever received.

Um? Gift?

Heyue reacted belatedly, raised his eyes to meet Gin's eyes, and tentatively asked him, "Why are you giving me a gift today?"

She just celebrated her 17th birthday yesterday. Does he know about this date?

Gin did not answer the question and said to himself, "Put it away. If someone wants to hurt you in the future, use it to fight back."

"Slit your throat, pick out your arteries, stab your heart, whatever."

Heyue: "..."

She held the dagger with a stiff expression.

She watched the man in front of her say such terrifying words with a calm expression and tone, and for a moment she didn't know whether she was on a family vacation set or a horror survival set.

Gin saw her reaction clearly and was not surprised by it.

He came close to her, held her hand and pushed the blade into the sheath, letting her hold the dagger tightly, "Do you remember?"

Heyue only felt that the dagger in her hand was a little hot.

Her fingertips couldn't help but tremble, her long eyelashes trembled like fluttering butterfly wings, and the water in her eyes swayed, as if a stone had been thrown into the calm water, making waves.

"I...I might..."

Can't let go.

It's not a possibility, it's a certainty.

Let's not talk about whether she dares to do it. Even if she dares, she doesn't have the ability. It is estimated that when that time comes, she will be captured before taking out the dagger.

It would be better to just run for your life.

She looked into the man's emotionless green eyes, subconsciously shrank her neck and whispered, "I can't."

This time, Gin did not mock her as a "little loser". Instead, he leaned closer to her, held her hand, and forced her to put the dagger against her heart. He said in a slightly cold tone, "If you don't know how, just learn."

Heyue didn't understand what he meant for a while.

What to study? Someone who is studying?

Should she call the police now?

Gin sneered, tightened his palms, and clasped her fingers tightly with a strong force on his fingertips, not allowing her to break free.

Their knuckles intertwined, their body heat connected, and even their heartbeats were a little closer.

She looked into those green eyes and saw a deep undercurrent and a confused look on her face. She could not see any emotion in his eyes——

It's like a machine.

This idea suddenly appeared, frightening Heyue's spine, and she felt a coldness pouring down from the sky, making her unable to help but shrink.

Seeing that she was obviously frightened by him, Gin lowered the corners of his lips slightly, but after all, he didn't force her anymore and just put the dagger into her bag.

"Physical skills."

His voice was still cold, but the content was at least less scary, "Go and learn, at least be able to defend yourself."

Otherwise, if she really encounters a dangerous person, she won't even have a chance to escape.

After thinking about the unreliable brain of this stupid rabbit, Gin explained, "Giving you the dagger is not to let you fight dangerous people, but to give you a chance to escape."

Heyue: "...Oh."

She hesitated, "There will be such a situation..."

?

Before she finished speaking, she stopped.

It seems... there are indeed a lot of dangerous situations, especially since she is so unlucky that she always encounters all kinds of dangerous situations.

The distressed Tutu turned off the microphone decisively, feeling inexplicably aggrieved.

Seeing that she understood what he meant, Gin continued, "If you really encounter this kind of situation, don't show mercy. Attack the vulnerable places, eyes, neck, spine, and between the legs of men."

Every word he said was loaded with weight, causing waves in her heart. It disturbed her mood and at the same time gave her an inexplicable feeling of peace of mind.

"No matter who it is, as long as it is detrimental to you, there will be no mercy and no hesitation at all."

Gin paused and added, "Including me."

He Yue's pupils trembled slightly, her expression blank, "...you?"

Gin nodded, his green eyes darkening, "There are no permanent friends in the world. There are always people who turn against each other because of some interests involved."

"If I threaten your safety in the future, don't hesitate to use that dagger to pick out my heart."

As he spoke, he put his fingertips on her heart and said with undisguised malice, "Otherwise, you will be the one who loses his life."

He Yue trembled.

Gin asked her, "Do you remember?"

Heyue pursed her lips and nodded honestly, "I remember."

She still didn't refute, because if he said something more terrifying, she might not be able to sleep tonight.

Gin then took back his hand and refilled her juice to give her time to adjust her mood.

Heyue held the glass, wrapped herself in a blanket, hugged the soft pillow, and drank the juice in small sips.

Silence filled the air between the two of them, and the two hearts that were so close just now seemed to be further apart, creating an insurmountable distance.

Gin drank all the wine in his glass before speaking, "I won't be in Tokyo for a while."

He met Heyue's gaze and told her in a tone that was hardly gentle, "Don't run around and don't trust strangers."

Don't just follow someone you don't know, and don't just trust someone stupidly.

Heyue pinched the octopus doll's head, said "Oh", and asked him again, "Then...when will you come back?"

Gin filled up the empty wine glass and tightened the rim of the glass upon hearing this, "Not sure."

"……Oh."

The non-existent rabbit ears drooped again.

She asked him again, "Will we meet again?"

Gin nodded slightly, "Maybe."

If he still comes back alive.

As his status within the organization increased, the dangers of his missions also continued to increase. Not every time he was able to escape unscathed, there were also times when he was seriously injured and endangered.

He couldn't give her a definite answer.

Heyue put down the juice, buried her head in the pillow, leaned against him, and tentatively pulled on the sleeves of his yukata.

Gin glanced at the white and tender rabbit paw, but he didn't pull away.

Heyue hesitated a few times, but finally chose to speak, "I feel like I know you."

Perhaps because the atmosphere was okay at the moment, or perhaps because the separation was imminent, Gin rarely suppressed the villainous expression on his face, and asked her in a calm tone, "Do you recognize this matter? Is it important?"

"Hmm... I feel so."

Heyue organized some words and said seriously, "I really feel like I know you. You look so scary, but I always feel... I always feel..."

I always feel an inexplicable sense of security in him.

Noticing that his expression was a little strange, Heyue waved her hands quickly, "I'm not saying you are ugly, I mean... temperament, ah no, aura."

Gin raised his palm and pressed it on her head unceremoniously, "Stupid."

He seemed to be smiling, but he seemed not to be.
