Ordinary people can also be the protagonist in a comic strip

"Xiaoye, let's exchange contact information."

"Ah? Oh, sure."

The two took out their cell phones and exchanged contact information and email addresses.

Lorraine got up from the sofa, straightened his collar and smiled.

"It's getting late. Since we've already discussed everything, it's almost time for me to leave. I'll call you if you need anything."

Done.

He was not going to disturb the other person's rest any longer.

only……

Just as Lorraine turned around and tried to leave, someone suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Ok?"

He turned around and saw that the water god Xiaoye also let go of his hand in panic. She herself didn't know why she reached out to grab the other person, she just felt... she didn't want the other person to leave like this.

Lorraine asked.

"Xiaoye, do you have anything else to say?"

"Ah, no... I... Oh, by the way, I just want to ask, are you going back to the camp?"

"Yes, what else? Should I sleep on the street?"

"Is it far from here?"

"Ah."

"Isn't it in some deep mountain forest?"

"That's it."

"Wouldn't it be scary for a person to live in a place like that?"

"Once you get used to it, you won't be afraid anymore."

Upon hearing this, the water god Xiaoye's pupils shrank slightly.

After struggling in my heart for a while.

She mustered up her courage and asked.

"How about... you can stay at my house for a few days?"

"what?"

This time it was Lorraine's turn to be surprised and surprised, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

he asked.

"Xiaoye, you mean... you want me to stay overnight?"

"Well... we are companions now, so it seems pitiful to let you go back to the mountains and forests alone to sleep in a tent."

"You really want to keep me here?"

"My house is actually quite big. As you can see, I have guest rooms."

"You left a man at home without permission, aren't you afraid of something unexpected happening?"

Lorraine's tone and eyes were interesting and meaningful.

The water god Xiaoye was so embarrassed that she almost burst into steam.

But she replied anyway.

"If you really wanted to do something to me, you would have done it long ago, and wouldn't have waited until now, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. You'd better not have any good expectations for a hot-blooded man."

"It doesn't matter. I will resist anyway. If you...if you attack me without permission, I won't let you have an easy time."

The water god Xiaoye said harsh words, trying to express his determination to defend his innocence.

But the way she looked now, with her awkward movements, wandering eyes, and flushed face..., in Lorraine's opinion, was not convincing at all.

-

Lorraine hesitated.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Shui Shen Xiaoye urged him, "If you stay with me temporarily, if the evil organization's monsters appear in the city again, we can go to the scene together and fight, right? Think about it from another perspective. You said that you were targeted by the evil organization. If you stay outside alone, especially in the deep mountains and forests, if you are attacked, we won't be able to come to help you in time."

These words really touched Lorraine's heart.

Outstanding effect.

Lorraine immediately began to really waver.

The water god Xiaoye continued.

"Also, you can rest assured. My family is going on a long trip, so I'll be alone at home during this time. You're such a good cook. If you're willing to take on some housework, I can accept a man living in my home."

"If you are willing to provide shelter, then I will have no problem taking on all the housework."

"Really? That's great, it's settled. I'll go help you clean up the guest room now."

"Ah? Wait a minute, I haven't agreed yet..."

Lorraine hadn't even finished her words.

The water god Xiaoye in front of him had already stood up, looked quite excited and happy, left the living room, and disappeared from Lorraine's sight.

He was left standing there alone, feeling both funny and helpless.

-

A few minutes later.

-

"From now on, this is your room. It's right next to mine. Here... this is the key to your room."

The water god Xiaoye handed over the key in his hand.

After Lorraine took the key, he saw that his name was made into a sign and hung on the door. This didn't look like a temporary stay at all. From the tone of the other party, it seemed more like they were recruiting him to live here permanently.

Open the door.

The rooms inside are plain but very clean and tidy. It's obvious that this home is well taken care of on a daily basis.

Even these guest rooms that have been idle for a long time are kept clean and hygienic at all times.

"Xiaoye, let me make it clear in advance. I... will only stay at your place for a few days. I will leave as soon as the battle against the evil organization is completely over."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the water god Xiaoye almost laughed out loud on the spot.

Lorraine was puzzled.

"why are you laughing?"

"Hahaha... Lorraine, sometimes I really don't understand the thoughts of you men. The evil organization is a very powerful enemy. How can we defeat it so easily? We magical girls have been fighting hard against the evil organization for such a long time. It's good enough that we can protect the city, let alone completely defeat or eliminate them."

"There is always a winner in a war."

"Okay, okay, then we have a deal. You have to live here obediently until we completely defeat the evil organization. Anyway, we will be partners in the future. Let's fight together and help each other."

"I didn't expect you to be such a nice person, Xiaoye."

"I'm good, I don't need your praise."

The water god Xiaoye retorted shyly.

But I was still very happy.

"But I still have to say that it is very dangerous to keep a man in your home without permission."

"Oh, you're so long-winded. I'm not a fool. I have my own judgment, okay? I know you're not a bad person, so I want to help you. I promise you, you're the first man to live in my house, and you'll be the last in the future. Are you satisfied?"

"And one more thing."

"What else?"

"As a magical girl, before you protect others, you should protect yourself first."

"Protect myself?"

"If I were you, the moment someone tried to kidnap me, I would transform into a magical girl and kill them right away."

“Hey! — You can’t do this, it’s too reckless. If a magical girl attacks an ordinary person, it will have a very bad impact if it becomes a hot topic.”

"Let me correct a misconception of yours. That's called self-defense. What's wrong with that? If you can't even protect yourself, how can you expect to protect others?"

"I……"

Maybe he knows that the other person cares about him.

The water god Xiaoye didn't know how to answer, but it didn't seem right.

"So if I fight back directly, then you would be finished when you did those things to me. You are such a strange person, saying something that is completely contrary to your actions."

Lorraine laughed.

"How did I know you were a magical girl at that time? If I knew, I would definitely not treat you like that. I would have run away long ago, as far as I could. You are lucky to have met me... If you had met another man, you would have been dead long ago."

"So what you've been saying for a long time is just a roundabout way of flattering yourself. Bah, you're so shameless and shameless."

Talking and talking.

The water god Xiaoye just chuckled and seemed to be in a good mood.

Lorraine shrugged and did not refute.

-

Late at night.

Said the water god Xiaoye.

"Okay, I will remember everything you said to me. I'll just take it as a lesson learned. Next time I encounter a bad guy who is plotting against me like someone did, I will just turn into a magical girl, subdue him, and send him to the police station. That should be fine, right?"

“That’s a very correct approach.”

"What if you were a magical girl? How would you handle it?"

"Just kill him."

"Hey!!! - Fortunately you are not a magical girl, otherwise, we magical girls would have become the second evil organization."

"LOL, really?"

"It seems like there's a reason why you were invited to join the evil organization."

"I am a good person."

"Do you think you are a good person?"

"Why do you all say that?"

"Because it's the truth, um... "

That's all for this.

Water God Xiaoye didn't say anything more because it was already early in the morning and she was really sleepy after going through so much.

Lorraine noticed it too.

"It's getting late, you should go to bed."

"Well, well, you should get some rest too, and we'll see you tomorrow."

After waving goodbye.

The water god Xiaoye turned and left, walking into his own room next door.

-

That night.

Lying in bed, the water god Xiaoye felt like she was in a dream whenever she thought that there was suddenly a strong man just separated her by a wall.

But..., I don't know why.

Suddenly I felt that my life, which was originally dull and somewhat boring, suddenly became interesting.

Hey.

-

She slept very soundly that night.
