Gun Girl

　　Ming Hong didn't respond to Ryota's shout, but just watched him quietly.

　　The atmosphere is a bit quiet.

　　After being dazed for a few seconds, Ming Hong climbed down from Ryota's stomach. Then two small hands pulled the quilt and started drilling the bed. Looks like she's ready to sleep.

　　"Wait, don't sleep yet."

　　Ryota stopped her movement, got up and leaned against the head of the bed, hugged Ming Hong and sat on his lap.

　　When he touched that light and soft body, he felt a bit of strange emotion in his heart.

　　"..."

　　Ryota was completely speechless.

　　Damn… he couldn't be a real pervert?

　　Obviously still in the process of building the "Bridge of Rage", he should be full of anger now, why does he still have the desire for little girls?

　　(Ming Hong should have some passive enchantment skills, like Diarmuid's mole… It must be.)

　　After Ryota convinced himself in his heart, he said to Ming Hong:

　　"I have something to ask you. If you are sleepy, please hold on for a bit."

　　Ming Hong looked at him, with a trace of doubt in her calm eyes.

　　Ryota didn't expect her to answer, and immediately said:

　　"When I was at Tenjin Elementary School the last time, I used points to exchange for the progress of the Military Commander System. 300 points directly increased the emotion gathering progress by about a third. But this time, it took 5,000 points at a time to reach full progress. Do you know why?"

　　He had this doubt now. If one's emotions match the bridge to be built, such as "Bridge of Fear" to fear, "Bridge of Rage" to anger, it can reduce the pool of some external emotions.

　　Perhaps his fear this time outweighed his anger this time, so he cut more pieces last time and thus spent fewer points.

　　But!

　　Can't widen the gap several times at once?

　　Ryota believes that this shouldn't just be because he was so cowardly last time.

　　There must be an external cause.

　　Facing his question, Ming Hong was taken aback. Like trying to understand, and think about how to answer it.

　　After about half a minute, Ming Hong suddenly clapped her hands, as if she had thought of a good idea. Then she jumped out of bed, opened the bedroom door and ran out.

　　"Wait, where are you going? Do not run!"

　　Ryota heard footsteps coming downstairs, and hurriedly chased them away.

　　He was worried that this little girl might disappear if she ran away.

　　For example, because she got lost and didn't know how to get back.

　　Even though the possibility of this situation occurring was very small, there was no way to avoid this kind of emotion.

　　Fortunately, after Ming Hong came to the guest room on the first floor, she didn't continue to run out. She entered the kitchen, found two cups, and poured boiling water into them.

　　The amount poured varies. One of the glasses only covered the bottom with water, and the other was almost overflowing.

　　"What is this for...?"

　　Ryota looked at Ming Hong who was squatting on the dining table bench, and asked curiously.

　　Ming Hong didn't answer him, she jumped on the ground, went to the kitchen again, and brought over two packs of instant coffee that Miyuki usually drank. Then she climbed onto the bench and squatted down, pouring coffee into two cups each.

　　Coffee is quickly mixed with boiling water. However, due to the different amounts of water, one color after melting becomes darker and the other lighter.

　　Ming Hong pointed at the light colored cup and shook her head.

　　Then she went into the kitchen again, brought five packs of instant coffee, and poured it all into a light-colored cup. She nodded after seeing the color darken.

　　She pointed at the two cups and motioned for Ryota to take a quick look with her eyes.

　　Ryota: "..."

　　After traveling such a long way, he finally understood what Ming Hong wanted to express.

　　The two cups should be compared to what he was and what he is now.

　　The water in the cup is the power of his soul.

　　Coffee must refer to external emotions.

　　In the past, his soul was very weak, so it only needed a little bit of external emotion to influence and stimulate it.

　　But after opening the first bridge, his soul power had greatly increased.

　　If you want to influence it to fall into a certain emotion, the external emotional stimulation needed is certainly not comparable to before. Therefore, the points that need to be consumed to increase progress have increased a lot.

　　Presumably, building another bridge in the future will require more points.

　　What a bad news.

　　...

　　Ryota understood, it was just… Ming Hong's sluggish expression made him feel very smooth.

　　Even though it looks cute. Out of curiosity, Ryota asked:

　　"Ming Hong, apart from 'killing', do you still say any other words?"

　　Ming Hong seemed to be caught up in the question. In those calm and pitch-black eyes, there was an imperceptible irritation.

The two thin lips on her lips parted slightly, and she let out a difficult voice:

　　"...Study..."

　　The voice sounded hollow and hoarse. But it was completely different from the cracking hoarse voice, but a slightly magnetic voice, sounding cute.

　　This was the first time Ryota heard Ming Hong speak outside of battle.

　　He thought of Hatsuse Izuna in the work [No Game No Life].

　　The sound of the two is somewhat similar.

　　"Study..."

　　As she couldn't speak clearly, the irritation in Ming Hong's eyes gradually increased and turned into irritability.

　　On her beautiful face, her expression gradually became fierce.

　　At the same time, Ryota suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.

　　The corner of his mouth suddenly twitched.

　　It turned out that the irritability that he was used to, where did it come from?

　　This little tantrum... There's no one else.

　　Ryota even rubbed Ming Hong's head, and said like coaxing a child:

　　"Okay, since you haven't learned it yet, let's not talk about it, and take your time later, okay?"

　　Ming Hong covered her lips obediently.

　　The expression of "super fierce" also faded.

　　It seemed that except for words related to "killing", she couldn't communicate normally.

　　Ryota also didn't know whether Ming Hong really didn't know about it, or because she didn't speak for a long time, her language ability had decreased?

　　I don't know how long this little girl has been around?

　　"I remember you sending Military Commander System information straight to my mind."

　　Ryota suddenly thought of an idea and suggested:

　　"If you can't talk, how about communicating in this way in the future?"

　　Ming Hong became dazed again. As if trying to understand the sentence. Immediately, she dipped her finger into the coffee in the cup and drew a simple pattern of a long knife on the dining table. Then she waved to Ryota.

　　Ryota turned his head, Ming Hong pointed at the pattern, then pointed at her head, then stretched out two fingers, and the fingertips touched each other.

　　"You mean…" Ryota guessed: "That information was brought by Ming Hong Sword itself, so it has nothing to do with you?"

　　Ming Hong nodded twice.

　　"Then you can usually figure out some of my thoughts, so what's wrong?"

　　Ryota then asked.

　　Ming Hong had reacted more than once to some of her unspoken thoughts.

　　Like Misaki can read minds.

　　Ming Hong pointed at the sword pattern she drew herself again, and nodded. Then she pointed at the side of the blade and shook her head.

　　Ryota took some time to understand what she meant.

　　"You can communicate with each other through the sword, but not after you come out?"

　　He confirmed.

　　The little girl nodded.

　　She pointed at her own head, then made an "X" sign with both hands.

　　Ryota immediately understood, and said speechlessly:

　　"One-sidedly you contacted me, but I didn't contact you… forget it."

　　He didn't think about it anymore, and instead asked:

　　"By the way, Ming Hong, how do you know where the cup, coffee, and boiling water are?"

　　Ming Hong thought for a moment, then pointed in a certain direction on the second floor.

　　Ryota followed her light white finger to look up. And judging that it should be the direction of Miyuki's room.

　　"Is that so, is there someone who can show you…"

　　Ryouta muttered.

　　Suddenly he realized the problem was very serious, hastily asked again:

　　"Then did you sneak out and take a look, or did you see it through my eyes?"

　　Ming Hong looked into Ryota's eyes.

　　"..."

　　Ryota felt he couldn't calm down anymore.

　　Wait... their vision can be shared?

　　And is it distributed unilaterally?

　　If he got married in the future, Ming Hong would be watching his live broadcasts all the time when he did that kind of thing...

　　He has no hobby of exhibitionism!

　　He's not a pervert either!

　　This is quite a serious problem!

　　Seeing Ryota's whole face turn serious, he grabbed Ming Hong's shoulder and said:

　　"Let's make a deal!"

　　Ming Hong tilted her head. It seems to ask what the deal is.

　　Seeing her beautiful eyes, Ryota said earnestly:

　　"When I don't let you see the future, you can't just use my eyes to look outside, understand?"

　　Ming Hong nodded.

　　Seeing her cute appearance, Ryota felt relieved.

　　Get vaccinated in advance, and there will be no embarrassing situations in the future.

　　"You seem more active than usual today." Ryota asked curiously, "Why don't you go out and do more activities?"

　　Ming Hong was stunned when she heard this.

　　As if contemplating how to answer.

　　After a moment, she pointed at the coffee cup on the table — one filled with even more water.

　　Then she gestured a few times with two fingers, then walked a few steps further.

　　Perhaps a tacit understanding has formed.

　　Ryota immediately understood:

　　"You mean, because my strength has increased again, the time you can go out for activities has increased, and you can also stay away from me a certain distance?"

　　Ming Hong nodded.

　　"So…does that have anything to do with my progress?"

　　Ryota asked Ming Hong a few more questions.

　　Ming Hong took pains to answer them one by one.

　　During this kind of interaction, his understanding Ming Hong's gestures and movements became even more profound.

　　Slowly, the two of them began to be able to carry out complex exchanges.

　　Ryota seized the opportunity and asked the question he wanted to ask since he got the Ming Hong Sword:

　　"Ming Hong, do you know the true identity of 'Yawei'? The one who uploaded you to the guild mall."

　　However, to his dismay, Ming Hong shook her head very simply without hesitation.

　　He thought about it, and asked questions from several angles.

　　For example, who is around Yawei, where does he usually live, what language does he speak, what is his general appearance, and so on.

　　This time, Ming Hong did not shake her head directly.

　　She started to make movements one by one, and showed some body movements.

　　While watching, Ryota automatically translates in her mind.

　　"Yawei is surrounded by ordinary people. He lives in a modern city, so how can he communicate with other people… So it seems he is a fake god, and he only uses the name Yawei as the code name in the guild."

　　Just when Ming Hong wanted to continue drawing with her fingers in the coffee, Ryota found paper and a pen for her.

　　Ming Hong seemed to really like these two things. She took a pen and drew on paper, drawing a long-haired man.

　　Ryota looked at the figure on the paper, his expression gradually became serious.

　　Living in a modern city, surrounded by ordinary people, not communicating with anyone else, with long hair, very young, and taking many divine names… He somehow thought of his father.

　　Not Shirogane's father, but his real father before transmigrating.

　　The man also didn't communicate much with people. He had long hair, was very young, and had a severe chuunibyoy. The disgraceful behavior of using a god's name was not a problem for him at all.

　　No... it's the same person, right?

　　Uh...he's been toyed with for twenty years?

　　Is the man bored?

　　(What is going on?)

　　Ryota was even more confused.

　　He kept asking Ming Hong:

　　"Do you know anything else about him?"

　　Ming Hong shook her head.

　　After trembling, she opened her mouth and yawned slightly, revealing a pair of cute little canines.

　　It was only then that Ryota realized that he had been bothering this little girl for too long.

　　He had no choice but to suppress his doubts and prepare to take Ming Hong back to the bedroom to sleep.

　　But before leaving, Ryota glanced at the two coffee cups on the dining table… Ming Hong was already asleep, and it always felt a little too evil to let him finish alone.

　　dumped...

　　"Forget it, I can't sleep."

After Ryota drank his coffee a few sips, he brought Ming Hong back to the bedroom.

　　Ming Hong lay in his arms, and her breathing quickly evened out.

　　The corners of the mouth are slightly curved.

　　That peaceful sleeping face, like a beautiful picture scroll, makes people intoxicated and enchanted.

　　Ryota helped her tidy up the messy hair around her ears, and whispered softly:

　　"What a mysterious girl in every way..."

　　He didn't know what secret was behind it.

　　That Yawei… could it really be his father?

　　Ryota, unable to sleep, looks up at the ceiling and is deep in thought.

　　As a result, until dawn, not only did he not think about the reason, but because of his irritability, the anger that was burning in his soul rolled up.

　　Ryota can only give up temporarily.

　　After diverting his attention, he remembered something else.

　　"By the way, why isn't Shinobu here yet?"

　　Ryota thought Shinobu who he had a deal with.

　　He called the system light screen and entered the guild forum.

　　Suddenly, a series of messages appeared.
