Alicia lowered her voice, walked slowly forward, then pounced suddenly, stretched out her hand to grab the target - and grabbed nothing.
"My answer may be the same as the answer you will give me next."
Alicia pressed forward step by step and stretched out her hands repeatedly, but each time she was dodged flexibly by the other party.
pat-
Xi Wang closed the lid of the candy box without hesitation, and then quickly put it into his inner pocket.
"It's too much!"
"uh-huh?"
Xi Wang raised his eyebrows and ignored Alicia who was deliberately puffing up her face to act cute... He said he would never let her get it, so he wouldn't let her get it.
Today's mini-game winner: Xiwang wins! We're about to win 100 games in a row~
"Then...what's Wang's answer?"
"Ok?"
"Wang has been eavesdropping for so long, so you should answer us, right?"
"...I'll choose whichever side the person I care about is on."
There is nothing to hesitate about, and there is nothing to "solve riddles" about, Xi Wang said.
"Hmph~"
Alicia smiled happily.
"What if someone asked you to choose between me and Sakura? You have to choose one~"
Why is it this kind of question... Xiwang's face was full of black lines.
"I will beat up anyone who asks this question first."
"Hehe~ Then what about me who asked this question?"
"........."
Xi Wang's facial features were twisted in an instant, and the tangled and embarrassed expression made people laugh. Even Kevin, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.
Finally, after some hesitation, Xi Wang reached out and snapped Alicia on the forehead. This way, he would not be considered to be going against what he had just said... Just tell me whether you hit her or not!
"Hehe~"
Although the blow was not painful, Alicia laughed again, and even grabbed Xi Wang's hand that was about to be retracted, placed it gently on her forehead, and gently tapped her eyebrows twice with his fingers.
"Then...if one day, just pulling the trigger like this, or swinging the blade at me, and just doing this can save the majority of people..."
"Kevin, Wang, you guys..."
"I would never do that."
Without giving her a chance to finish, Xi Wang spoke immediately.
"I will never point the blade at you, Alicia."
He grabbed her hand, tightly and forcefully, as if he was worried that she would suddenly disappear.
"Absolutely not."
"……Um."
She laughed again, very, very happily.
Chapter 21: Ai Lishiya: Actually, I really like him~
"Good evening, Sakura."
"Good evening, and...thank you for the hard work on the mission."
At the edge of the noisy dance party, Xiwang and Ying greeted each other, and then Xiwang shifted his gaze to the green-haired beauty next to Ying and asked.
"I didn't expect Dr. Mebius to come to the ball. It's really rare."
"I'm here to see you, isn't that okay?"
Mebius narrowed his eyes, took a step forward, and spoke in a seductive tone.
"Little white mouse~Would you like to visit my lab?"
"And then you tricked me into the operating table?"
"Since you know my intentions, it's not a lie. And...if you are willing to cooperate, I will also be willing to pay a price~"
She leaned forward again, moving her tongue slightly, attracting the attention of others, and her words were strangely seductive, like a [snake] trying to persuade others.
"…Dr. Mobius, I think you should know that I will not accept it."
Xi Wang's tone turned cold.
"And your choice of words and tone really annoy me."
"Yes~ yes~ but what does that have to do with me?"
Mebius tilted his head.
"Even though Alicia and Sakura both said that this wording would remind you of bad things, but... you should also know that this is not something you should avoid, and how fascinating this natural [trait] is."
Mebius stretched out his hand, trying to touch his body, but Xiwang dodged it.
"It's just you, Dr. Mebius."
"...It's so boring."
Mebius curled his lips, and then smiled meaningfully.
"But one day, you will be lying on my operating table~"
"maybe."
"Haha~ Okay, okay~ I don't mean to disturb your celebration. That would be too boring."
Mebius pushed Sakura's back a little, waved his hand, and said casually.
"Go, go find your boyfriend~"
"Dr. Mebius..."
"Okay, don't use the same rhetoric you use against other people against me... Or do you think that with the strongest members of the Fire Moth Chaser present, someone would come to [assassinate] me? Those guys can't even hide from me."
Mebius' tone was slightly sarcastic, and then as if to demonstrate, he called over a person who was walking around bored and asked him to help get a drink. After being stunned, the man ran to a table not far away, and then picked up a beautiful drink, handed it to Mebius, and after getting her permission, he quickly ran to the other side of the ball and found a corner away from her.
"You see, that's how they are. They have a strong fear of things or people they don't understand, and they won't even think of contacting them."
Mebius said this with a smile on his face, but his eyes were still fixed on the man who was running away quickly, looking like a snake staring at its prey.
But she soon looked away, shook the drink in her hand casually, and spoke casually.
"Come to think of it, if you really intend to stay by my side, then why did you change into a formal dress and come here, my good bodyguard?"
"........."
Sakura looked away awkwardly.
At this moment, Sakura was wearing a purple dress with a thin black satin ribbon and a white bead chain tied under her chest, which fully set off the girl's graceful figure. The dark purple skirt swayed casually, and the fishtail-shaped back skirt swayed gently. The dark long stockings with the light purple inside of the skirt made her legs look slender, and the white part of her thighs was even more eye-catching.
Her long pink hair was tied up behind her head, and the remaining hair was fixed with a cherry blossom-shaped hair accessory, and the hair on her forehead was also fixed with a small crown hair accessory. The gorgeous gem was hung on a slender metal chain, resting on her chest, reflecting beautiful light under the lights of the ball - just like her at this moment.
Even the knives she carries add a different kind of charm to her.
"Go ahead, before that annoying Alicia gets here... Or are you just going to stand there like this? Next to a light bulb like me?"
Mebius spoke again, then sniffed the drink in his hand and his expression turned a little worse.
"I heard someone whispering bad things about me~?"
She gently patted Mebius's shoulder and skillfully dodged the hand that was grabbing her. Alicia's elf-like figure appeared behind her.
"Alicia..."
Mebius's expression turned even worse.
"Hey, don't look so grim. It's a rare opportunity to attend a dance, why not enjoy it?"
"Not interested in."
"Oh? Did you bring Sakura here specifically to attend the dance? But if you're here, Sakura will definitely come~?"
"Do you think I'm free?"
"That's not it... or did you come all the way to see me? Oh my~ As expected, being too cute is a problem~"
"Listen to me! Alicia!"
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore~"
Taking a few steps back lightly, Alicia raised her hands in surrender, then turned her gaze to Sakura beside her, her eyes lighting up slightly.
"Sakura looks so beautiful today! She must have spent a lot of time dressing up, right?"
"It hasn't been that long actually..."
Alicia walked forward, circled around Sakura a few times, nodded with satisfaction, then hugged Sakura from behind and rubbed her face affectionately. The similar pink hair intertwined, making it difficult to tell whose it was.
"Ellie?!"
"Hehe~ Sakura is so beautiful today, she has attracted everyone's attention~ Even mine~?"
"But, this outfit is really prepared for someone, right?"
Alicia blinked and bit Sakura's ear gently.
"........."
Sakura looked away slightly, a slight blush crossing her face.
"How cute~ But~"
Alicia smiled, rested her chin on Ying's shoulder, and leaned close to her. She looked at Xi Wang, who seemed not to pay attention to this side but would always move his eyes towards this side from time to time, and asked with a smile.
"Wang, whose invitation will you accept this time~"
"This is our first dance at this party~"
Alicia jumped and moved, holding hands with Sakura, shoulder to shoulder. At the same time, her free hand slightly lifted the hem of her pure white skirt, slightly lifting the lavender color on the inside of the skirt, and spoke elegantly with a little playfulness.
"Although I'm not as pretty as Sakura, I also tried my best for today's dance~?"
"So, who should we choose this time?"
"........."
As Alicia asked the question, Xi Wang's expression froze for a moment, and then he became visibly entangled and embarrassed, with his brows almost twisted together.
"Wuhu——"
I don't know who blew a cheerful whistle, but when I looked up, I found that many people were looking at this side, and their eyes were full of teasing when they rested on Xi Wang - ah~ It was just like that, the fixed program of every dance party has begun!
Countless people are waiting for Xiwang's choice. After all, this is one of their great amusement. For someone like Xiwang who remains calm no matter what strange tasks he receives, only at this time can one see his embarrassed side. This is a great anecdote among the Fire Moths, a fixed amusement that must be experienced.
"Ha ha……"
Even Mobius, who was sipping a drink nearby, couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, especially Xi Wang's almost twisted expression... Although it was not the first time he saw it, he still found it very funny.
"Hmph~"
Perhaps she felt that this was enough, Alicia shook her head happily and gently pushed Sakura forward half a step.
"I'll let you go today~ I don't want to be a girl that people hate~?"
"But, please leave the last dance of the day to me~?"
"……it is good."
Xi Wang nodded in response, then bowed gracefully, extended his hand to Ying and extended an invitation.
"Enjoy it~ I won't give it to you next time~?"
Alicia whispered in Sakura's ear.
