Su: I'm Sleeping.jpg

(Hua said, Disaster told me to wait for her here... so mysterious...)

Kosma looked around at his surroundings and began to analyze the situation.

(There's a rock here that blocks the view from the other side. Speaking of which, when I saw Hua before, she was wearing a swimsuit, right? When I came over, I also caught a glimpse of Elysia wearing a swimsuit over there... So, does that mean... Disaster was wearing a swimsuit too?)

"That... Amo ..."

Kosma, who was resting his chin on his hand in deep thought, was taken aback when he heard Disaster's faint voice. In his memory, Disaster was always full of energy and rarely spoke like this.

(She must have been wearing a swimsuit, but when did she buy it? Never mind, the book says that at this time, you should praise her no matter what... Hmm... I have no reason not to praise her...)

He looked up and met the girl's somewhat hesitant gaze.

Kosma: "!"

He glanced up once and immediately looked away, blushing. Disaster was indeed wearing a swimsuit. But, wasn't this style... a little too daring?

"Disaster ... why is your swimsuit..." Kosma's gaze was somewhat unfocused. That glance just now had been too much for him. He had never seen Disaster dressed like that in either his past or present life... or rather...

He recalled his previous life, when he chased after Kevin's shadow to become Heroes, never slacking off even during holidays. He rarely went on vacations like he did after his birth, especially after the Eighth Herrscher Incident. He became even more reclusive after sacrificing Disaster Elysia, and he rarely went out. In his spare time, he either went to the training ground or practiced the harmonica that Disaster had given him.

After experiencing so much and losing so much, even if my final appearance is far from what I imagined a Heroes should be like, why do I still want to be Heroes?

"Amo ... don't be like this, although I also feel a little embarrassed... but..." Disaster said softly, "This was prepared for you... at least give me some advice..."

Kosma remained silent for a while before daring to look at Disaster. At that moment, the girl in front of him had flushed cheeks, and she tapped two fingers together in front of her face, saying somewhat shyly, "Well... when I decided to come here, Lilith suggested that I wear a swimsuit. After all, with the sun and the beach, wearing a swimsuit would be more appropriate..."

(There's no problem with that, the problem is, why is your swimsuit...?)

Seemingly understanding the meaning behind Kosma's expression, Disaster looked away somewhat embarrassedly and said, "I came here thinking of giving you a surprise, but you said you wanted to go to the arts festival together, so... I can only ask Little Pardo to help me choose."

In addition, she had never worn a swimsuit in front of Kosma before, so she didn't know what would be appropriate to wear. Therefore, she asked Pardo, who was on good terms with her, to help her choose. That way, if things didn't go well, she could find a suitable excuse and then use this opportunity to find out Kosma's preferences.

When I changed into this swimsuit, I casually asked around and found out that Pardo wasn't very confident in her own taste, so she asked Lilith for help again...

Lilith... just from her usual behavior, you can tell that she basically has no girlish reserve when it comes to pursuing men. Maybe reserve doesn't work on Feng Yan... and she's unwittingly influencing Xiao Pardo and the others as well...

Amo and Feng are somewhat similar, so maybe Lilith's suggestion is correct?

(Would Phyllis choose such a swimsuit?)

Kosma thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that in her previous life, after Pardo Flame-Chasers's clothing seemed to be no different from a swimsuit, so... there shouldn't be any problem with her choosing this kind of swimsuit.

(No... this isn't something I should be thinking about the Present. I can tell that Disaster really mustered up a lot of courage to put on this outfit, and I absolutely can't just stay silent here... However... I've seen similar outfits before, but I still feel a little embarrassed with Disaster...)

"Amo... what are you thinking about again?" Disaster looked at Kosma as he started to think again, and she was initially a little shy, the Present was speechless. "It's just... what do you think of this outfit?"

Kosma paused for a moment, then said very seriously, "... It suits you very well, it looks great."

"Ah... really? Haha, I think so too..." Daisy Disaster, whose attack and defense weren't particularly high, became a little shy after Kosma's serious answer.

Actually, Disaster was originally quite outgoing. She used to think Kosma was a blockhead, completely devoid of emotion, and he wouldn't notice anything even if she opened up a bit. But for some reason, ever since she added the Fire Moth, Kosma seemed to have suddenly had an epiphany. First, she was confessed to by Kosma, and then every time she teased Kosma, he would directly counter her advances, making her feel embarrassed instead...

So Miss Disaster went from being a high-attack, low-defense girl the Present a tsundere girl with neither high attack nor great defense.

"It is..."

Kosma's abrupt change of topic made Disaster nervous again. Kosma seemed a little embarrassed and scratched his head. After a while, he blushed and said, "Although this outfit really suits you... I'd rather see you with someone of the opposite sex like this, and it would only be me."

"Huh?... Huh—?!"

Both of them fell silent, lowering their heads and not daring to look at each other.

Kosma the Present in the midst of a fierce ideological struggle.

(Does this sound like I'm being too controlling? After all, how Disaster dresses is her own business, and it's not really appropriate for me to make such a demand... Speaking of which, do Maple and Kevin ever have this kind of dilemma? I haven't seen them show it... Wait, Mei can't possibly wear a swimsuit, so Kevin probably won't have this kind of dilemma... So, I should probably ask Maple later... Hmm... In the end, why did I blurt this out in a moment of impulse...?)

Disaster was similar; she even covered her face with her hands. "Ah, when did Amo become so direct... So, Amo saying this means he really likes it this way... right? Wait, he likes it because there are more of me in this outfit? And... he hopes to see me dressed like this, with only him as a member of the opposite sex... Ugh... Can anyone tell me what I should say next?"

On the other side.

"Speaking of which, I wonder how things are going on their side..." Zhu Yufeng looked at the reef that blocked their view, "Recently, Disaster seems to be less open than before."

"How could she possibly let go?" Lilith said, arms crossed. "She was able to let go before only because Kosma didn't think too much about emotions. With Kosma's thought process being similar to yours, if he didn't have to do it all over again, how would he understand his own feelings?"

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

Is this a dig at him using Kosma? This... he felt he couldn't be blamed for not realizing in his past life that so many girls liked him, because he was only focused on destroying the Honkai ...

On the road to fighting against the Honkai, before revealing his identity to anyone, no matter how many people are around him, there is still a barrier separating him from others. He is a lonely man. Even if he tells them, how many people will believe him?

Furthermore, he had long since given up on the idea of dating, so he wouldn't even think about it.

Lilith glanced at Elysia again and continued, "Of course, there's another similar example here, like Elysia. Are you really as casual with Maple now as you were when you first got to know each other?"

Elysia: "..."

How... how did this affect her again? Besides, she knows why Disaster turned into a lesbian. Speaking of which, she was the one who helped Disaster and Kosma get their current relationship back then.

As for Lilith's question, the answer is also yes; she can no longer be as carefree as she was at the beginning.

On one hand, it's because she has truly experienced heartbreak, and she wants to cherish her current relationship and doesn't want to experience heartbreak again. On the other hand, she didn't have those thoughts back then, and their interactions were much more casual. Now she's clear about her feelings, but she's not the only one who's clear about her feelings. People like Mobius, Vill-V, Phyllis... they're all eyeing Feng, not to mention Lilith, who stole her boyfriend and made her suffer quite a bit.

Casual? Do we just do whatever we want?

That said, why is Lilith able to act so casually?

As if she could see the meaning in Elysia's eyes, Lilith shrugged and said, "Actually, I was a little reserved at first, after all, it was my first time learning how to love someone... but I came to terms with it later."

"What do you mean by 'come to your senses'?" Sakura looked at Lilith, wanting to know how Lilith could act so openly and always seem unconcerned about other people's closeness with Kaede. She felt she needed to learn from her.

"No matter what Feng thinks, I just like him." Lilith shrugged. "I like being by his side, I like everything about him. But why did I ask Feather Dust to bind my consciousness to his in the first place?"

Cherry. "..."

That's what she said, and that's what she thought too, but why is the result still different from Lilith's? She still cares about Yi Feng's interactions with other girls... no, she herself can't use the Feather Dust binding consciousness...

Pardo nodded in agreement. She thought the same thing, but Lilith and Sister Elysia were too high-level, and she couldn't afford to offend Vill-V and Mobius. So she might as well just give up and seize the opportunity if she had one. If she didn't, she would just stay by Brother Yu Feng's side anyway, and might even spend more time with him than with Mobius and Vill-V. As for Sister Elysia and Lilith, they were really too high-level for her to get involved with.

So there's nothing wrong with giving up, right?

The person next to him, covered with a magazine and "sleeping," had somehow put earphones in their ears. The weather was nice today, and the temperature was just right. They hadn't listened to anything, and knew nothing at all. They had been sleeping under the parasol all day...

He came to relax, not to exhaust himself mentally.

To be honest, he also admired Feng, who was really able to do a good job of shirking responsibility under such circumstances.

He roughly understood Lilith's situation. Regarding her thoughts, others probably had similar thoughts. However, Feng was already surrounded by constant chaos, so how could things be relatively peaceful like this? Elysia would even cook with Lilith.

The biggest difference between Lilith and the others is that her emotions are more pathological...

"What goes around comes around... Feng, you betrayed your feelings back then, and now you can't escape it..." Su thought to herself. "As your friend, all I can do is provide you with a place to confide in from now on..."

"We've been chatting here for quite a while now, where's Vill-V?" Zhu Yufeng asked.

"Indeed, given her personality, she shouldn't have been absent for so long." Mebius looked around, feeling she needed to be wary of whether Velvi's "surprise magic" would affect her. After all, among the people present, Yu Feng was definitely safe, Alicia and Lilith were beyond Velvi's reach, Sakura and Sira were professional assassins and out of the question, and Phyllis was too naive to be targeted. Thinking it over, she was the only one who would be secretly tricked by Velvi.

It was the same in my previous life...

Why don't you move a little closer to Yu Feng? That way, Vill-V will most likely be able to avoid getting herself into trouble.

As Mobius was thinking this, he was about to move closer to Zhu Yufeng when he heard Vill-V's voice coming from under Zhu Yufeng's recliner. "Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready for a surprise?"

"Hmm?" Zhu Yufeng looked down at his recliner, and then the sand beneath his feet suddenly sank inward. He was just about to jump away when he immediately felt a sense of weightlessness.

Vill-V placed a spring-loaded device where he was standing...

Lilith looked at the guy who had gone up into the sky and said, "Oh dear, thank goodness you didn't stand up just now, Dr. Mobius, otherwise you would be flying in the sky with Maple now."

Elysia discovered the megaphone that Vill-V had installed under the recliner. She squinted at Lilith and said, "I was wondering why you were intentionally or unintentionally preventing us from getting too close to Feng... You and Vill-V were in cahoots, weren't you?"

"Hehe~" Lilith shrugged.

Elysia looked at Zhu Yufeng Vill-V, who had been launched into the sky by an elastic device and then suspended in the air with the help of a propulsion device, and sighed helplessly.
