Mecha Start, Nuclear Bomb Tokyo

This was Lizzie's only thought.

The strength is gradually withdrawn from the body.

It was replaced by a burning sensation of lack of oxygen.

The brain seems to be dizzy too...

Everything in the world is upside down in front of you.

She was about to lose consciousness.

Then--

A pair of hands fished her out of the turbulent river and hugged her to his chest.

"Cough cough cough..."

Li Zi coughed violently, her small body curled up into a ball, and due to the cold river water, she subconsciously leaned close to the other party's embrace.

The blond hair was scattered, and the headband tied with twin ponytails went down the river for some reason.

The little girl opened her eyes in confusion and helplessness.

Then he saw the person in front of him.

"Are you okay?"

It was the young man with a cold expression.

At this time, he was holding a shopping paper bag in one hand and holding her to his chest with the other.

do not know why...

Looking at the half-wet young man, the young Li Zi opened her mouth.

An indescribable sense of security slowly rose in my heart, as well as a sense of guilt towards the youth.

She didn't speak, just gasped a little.

Beautiful big blue eyes looked at the young man in front of him without blinking.

"..."

The young man didn't say much.

With just a sideways glance, he picked her up and brought her home again.

During this period, the other party took out a bottle of spray-like potion and carefully applied the medicine to himself...

The pain in the body gradually disappeared.

Li Zi looked at the young man with a cold expression in front of her, she opened her mouth subconsciously, and said softly, "...Aren't you angry?"

Yes.

Aren't the young people in front of you angry?

Obviously he ran away on his own...

"Why should I be angry?" The young man raised his head and asked back.

"...that...because I ran away...you said...will be punished..."

Lizzie tried to organize her words.

But she couldn't utter a complete sentence because of the cold in her body.

"It's natural for you to want to run away. It's a normal reaction. I don't need to be angry about it."

The young man was surprisingly reasonable.

Although his tone was still cold and his expression was still cold, it gave Lizi an inexplicable feeling of warmth.

"The specific explanation will come later, before that—"

Li Zi watched the young man put the shopping bag in front of her.

Then I heard his next distasteful words: "Go take a shower first, it's so dirty. The hot water is also put away."

In this way, Li Zi was rushed into the bathroom in a daze.

She subconsciously opened the shopping bag.

It was found that there were two other sets of changed clothes, pajamas, toothbrush and other daily necessities...

Only then did Li Zi react.

It turned out that the reason why that person made himself stand up... was to visually measure his height.

And the reason why he went out was to buy the necessities of life for himself.

"..." Lizzie.

She recalled with some confusion her silent and indifferent attitude towards the youth.

Thinking of the sense of security after running away and being rescued by the other party...

The other party's tolerance and patience towards oneself...

A kind of guilt for the other party welled up in my heart.

When she was young, she didn't know where this emotion came from.

She could only take off her dirty dress and skirt, and soak in the bathtub...

After soaking in the bath, the originally cold body gradually slowed down, and an indescribable warmth welled up in my heart.

She changed into the foreign dress prepared by the other party, and then mustered up the courage to walk out of the bathroom.

Then...

She happened to see the young man sitting at the table.

Recalling these three days, she has not had any communication with the youth.

This time... she finally worked up the courage.

"...that..."

"Huh?" The young man turned around.

"Excuse me, what's your name?" She cautiously asked the young man in front of her.

It's been three days.

She still doesn't know anything about the other party.

"An Yi." An Yi put down the parts in his hand, and looked at her calmly.

Then he stretched out his hand and patted the carpet next to him.

The meaning is obvious, to let her sit over.

Li Zi subconsciously took two steps back because of fear.

But soon, she thought of how An Yi treated her today, and obediently sat down beside him.

She didn't know what to say.

He could only sneak a glance at An Yi from time to time.

Should it be a change in mentality?

It wasn't until then that she realized that compared to the boyish eight-year-old boy of the same age, the young man in front of her was handsome and handsome, and her tone of voice was much more mature.

Just as she was thinking like this, An Yi on the other side suddenly spoke.

"I think you should have seen that this is not Berlin where you are, but Tokyo, Japan... It can even be said that this is the world in 2021."

"...Hey...?"

Listening to An Yi's words, Li Zi subconsciously opened her mouth.

Rather than being shocked, it would be better to say that he was stunned.

She couldn't figure it out.

Why did I just take a bus...and came to an inexplicable place.

"It's too complicated for you to understand."

An Yi glanced sideways at Li Zi.

"In short, as long as you understand that this is not the Berlin you know..."

"What...then...father, mother and the others..."

Knowing such a frightening fact, Li Zi has fallen into confusion.

"The reason why I haven't told you is that I don't want you to fall into a state of confusion...but you don't have to worry."

An Yi's voice sounded again.

I don't know if it's an illusion.

Listen to An Yi's steady voice.

Lizi's confused mind just now gradually calmed down.

She raised her head and looked at the youth beside her who was older than herself.

"If you are willing to believe me, after thirteen days, you will be able to return to your world."

An Yi looked at Li Zi calmly.

Willing to believe...?

"...I, I know."

Li Zi was inexplicably moved.

She gently nodded her little head, her childish and delicate face was full of trust: "I believe in Brother An Yi."

It never occurred to Lizzie...someone she would have regarded as her enemy just a few hours ago...

A few hours later, it actually became her support.
