Zheng Yi moved his fingers, and after hesitating for a moment, he gently withdrew his left hand and patted Lihua's back.

"But Tachibana, no matter how painful the battle will be in the future, there is one thing you must remember."

"We were never [fighting for justice]."

"us……"

As if remembering something, Zheng Yi smiled so calmly.

His dignified appearance seems to be declaring a person, no, it seems to be telling the beliefs of an era.

"We are [fighting for our own justice]."

——

"Thank you, welcome back!"

Opening the hatch, Holmes greeted everyone with a smile on his face.

With the help of Tirano, Zheng Yi and the others arrived more than 15 minutes earlier than expected.

It has to be said that compared to the golem whose load will drop when the speed is fast, and the speed will not keep up with the increase of the load, Tirano, which is 15 meters high and 30 meters long, is really fast.

"Fortunately not humiliated."

Compared to Tirano who was cooperating with Avis Bron and others to unload the goods outside, Zheng Yi gently pushed Tachibana's back.

"Go and have a sip of hot tea and check the condition of the dress. There is not much time to rest."

Facing Tachibana, who still had some traces of communication on his face, Zheng Yi rubbed the girl's forehead hair with some distress, and comforted him softly.

"Ah."

Standing at the hatch, Zheng Yi and Holmes watched the girl leave side by side.

"Is it too early?"

Zheng Yi asked suddenly.

Holmes just shook his head: "It has to be like this. Instead of waiting until she is forced, it is better to let her prepare first...Of course, if you were not here, given that the child may have feelings of disappointment that will affect the battle, I probably would not choose to be here. Time to talk to her about it."

"Feel sorry."

"No need to apologize, you have done a good job, Mr. Zheng Yi."

Patting Zheng Yi on the shoulder, Holmes smiled and said, "Besides, there is another one who may bother you to have a chat."

"……what."

Immediately understanding what Holmes meant, Zheng Yi looked embarrassed.

"I'm really not very good at guiding girls' knots."

"You'd better not say such things, Mr. Zheng Yi."

Holmes passed by, walking towards Tirano, turned his face halfway, raised his index finger to his lips, and only narrowed his right eye and smiled slyly.

"This is a friendly reminder from the great detective Sherlock Holmes."

Chapter 40: What do people fight for?

Under the guidance of the staff, Zheng Yi quickly found a room that was Da Vinci's temporary workshop.

Just standing outside the heavy electronic door, Zheng Yi suddenly couldn't figure out what attitude he should use to knock on the door.

According to the staff and Sherlock Holmes just now, Da Vinci seems to be adjusting Matthew's physical state, that is, there are two... Well, in terms of physical characteristics, two women are doing relatively private work. physical examination.

It seems somewhat disqualified for a gentleman to hastily urge to interrupt at such a time.

This made Zheng Yi a little unsure.

Fortunately, this relatively delicate choice will soon not require Zheng Yi himself to make a decision.

"Oh, brother, you are back, it's a little faster than the scheduled time."

The electronic door was opened to both sides, and the little almighty man jumped out of the workshop, looking up at Zheng Yi who was raising his hand with a smile on his face.

Crouching down, Zheng Yi looked at little Da Vinci, but didn't respond right away.

Little Da Vinci blinked, but he didn't feel unaccustomed to Zheng Yi's sudden gaze, but he tilted his head in some doubts, and hummed a naive nasal sound with a smile on his face.

"Ok?"

"What's the matter? It's Little Da Vinci, is there any trace of workshop work on my face that I haven't wiped off? Brother, why are you looking at me like this?"

"...I'm sorry, Da Vinci."

Zheng Yi's gentle eyes do not know why there is some sadness and guilt, just like reading the fairy tale of The Little Mermaid after growing up, no longer purely full of pity for the gorgeous bubbles floating in the warm sun , It is no longer staring at the ignorant prince and itching his teeth.

More, I feel gratified and sad for the dedication of the Little Mermaid.

This sudden apology seemed nonsensical to others, but little Da Vinci was only slightly startled, and then showed a gentle expression worthy of that handed down beauty.

Inclusive, kind, and with a maturity and tranquility that does not match his age.

"What are you talking about, it's not your fault."

The little almighty man stretched out his hand and ruffled Zheng Yi's forehead hair with a playful intention.

At this moment, Da Vinci still seems to be Da Vinci.

"[I] thank you very much, Zheng Yijun. The Kabuto singularity is a very dangerous type even among the singularities we have repaired. If it were not for Zheng Yijun's help that time, Tachibana would definitely be struggling."

"So, many things are not your responsibility alone, so you don't have to always bear such an urgent burden."

"But, you actually—"

"Shh~"

Swimming fingers along Zheng Yi's cheeks, and lightly touching Zheng Yi's lips with his index finger, little Da Vinci lowered his voice, squinted his right eyes and whispered in Zheng Yi's ear: "Although I don't know how you are, Zheng Yijun. I noticed it, but keep it a secret for me for the time being! Tachibana and Mash still don’t know about it, and now is not the time for them to think about it.”

"……I understand."

Looking at the immature face close at hand, Zheng Yi smiled and nodded.

Sure enough, both the elegant and mature Da Vinci, and the innocent Da Vinci, are all understood by Zheng Yi, and belong to the Da Vinci of Chaldea.

"Then how about accepting the suggestion of indulging yourself a little?"

"That's a little..."

"Hey, no matter what, this is probably the way of life for a person like you. Should I say it's amazing or a dead-headed one, obviously it looks like a child who has just grown up."

With his hips on his hips and talking old-fashioned words, little Da Vinci stepped back with a sly grin: "You came to call me to help with the repair, I'll go right away, and put the black tea in it after brewing , if you can’t find something, you can tell Matthew.”

Patting Zheng Yi's shoulder, Little Da Vinci took a step towards the other end of the corridor with the staff taller than herself.

"Although it's a bit messy, just take care of it, Zheng Yijun."

He waved his hand without turning his head, and without waiting for Zheng Yi to say anything, the fiery little Da Vinci jumped up and down to the corner of the corridor, and disappeared without a trace, leaving nothing but patters The sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

"...It's still the same, coming and going like the wind."

Zheng Yi stood up and looked at the direction where little Da Vinci was leaving

"Yes, Miss Da Vinci has always been like that."

Carefully passing a black iron box piled up in the corner of the door, Matthew walked out of the workshop at some point, holding the door frame and looking at the end of the corridor side by side with Zheng Yi.

"Long time no see, so it shouldn't be a problem, Mash."

"Uh, um! After the Singularity parting, this is the first time we officially meet, that... I..."

The obedient girl who was a bit introverted by nature lowered her head, her slightly flushed face was covered by her slender forehead hair, only slightly hesitant words and twisted fingers revealed her nervousness.

Zheng Yi smiled.

"It doesn't matter if you call me casually. You can also call me Mr. Zheng Yi like before. If you like it, you can call me big brother like Tachibana."

"Besides, compared to the noisy girl in my family, if a well-behaved child like Matthew is willing to call me brother, I might wake up laughing in my dreams."

Speaking of this, the smile on Zheng Yi's face suddenly became a little dumbfounding.

"How, how come, you praised me..."

With red ears, Matthew tugged at the corner of her skirt and said softly, "Well, Mr. Zheng Yi, please come in first. Miss Da Vinci asked me to serve you black tea before leaving."

"Then I'll be more respectful than obedient."

Not much to say, although he didn't come here for black tea, but Zheng Yi did come here to be alone with Matthew.

Not only because of the great detective's request, but also because of Zheng Yi's own will.

As Matthew, who had stabilized his mood, walked into the workshop, it was unexpected that the place was not really messy. It would be better to say that the display of various artworks, materials, documents and even experimental equipment actually reflected a very wonderful feeling. beauty.

"Actually, Miss Da Vinci's original studio was much more crowded than this one. When I was escaping—"

While pouring steaming hot tea for Zheng Yi who was sitting down, Matthew paused when he was about to say something, a little haze and frustration unconsciously appeared on his face.

"...When I escaped from Chaldea, I didn't take away many of Miss Da Vinci's belongings, so this temporary workshop seems a bit empty."

"Sorry, if I could have heard Tachibana's call earlier, maybe I could have done something else."

Zheng Yi looked at the clear tea in the cup and sighed softly.

Matthew was shocked immediately, and waved his hands vigorously, making a sound as if he was trying to deny something with all his strength: "How can that be! Mr. Zheng Yi, you have helped us a lot, and this is our own problem!"

"Matthew, you have always been a gentle and good boy."

Zheng Yi's smile was like the breeze that calmed the scorching waves, soothing and calming Matthew's flushed complexion from excitement little by little.

He lightly tapped the table with his index finger.

Matthew understood, pursed her lips and hesitated for a while, then sat across from Zheng Yi as if she had made up her mind.

The girl furrowed her eyebrows, her tangled emotions were beyond words, and anyone could understand her hesitant to speak.
