As she spoke, Wu Qing reached out and closed the door, afraid that her conversation with Chitanda Eru would wake up the sleeping Aoyama Nanami.
Once you've confirmed that she's your woman.
What awaits Nanami is Kiriharu's meticulous care.
Seeing that Kiriharu had closed the door, Chitanda Eru's expression shifted slightly, and she looked at Kiriharu with some confusion, but quickly, she put on her usual smile again...
"Indeed, let her rest well."
"Ah."
Wu Qing nodded.
The two then went to the open-air canteen for breakfast.
Today's breakfast was exceptionally lavish, and the portions were enormous.
Since yesterday morning when there wasn't enough food, every meal has been prepared with more food than usual, taking into account Wu Qing's amazing appetite.
And all of this was the result of Chitanda Natsuya's deliberate actions.
He greatly admired Wu Qing, so naturally he would take good care of her.
After a series of preparatory tasks.
Kiriharu, Chitanda Eru, and Pochi-chan, once again picked up their tools and headed to yesterday's cornfield, ready to start another busy day.
"The weather seems pretty good today."
On her way to the cornfield, Chitanda Eru looked at the bright, yet not overly intense, morning sun and wore a very cheerful expression.
The weather has been strange these past two days, especially yesterday. It was pouring rain the night before, but the next day the sky cleared up, and not only that, the sun was blazing.
But the weather is very nice today.
1.6 "If I didn't have to work, it would be perfect for traveling."
Wu Qing also looked up at the sun and felt refreshed.
After all, the scenery around Chitanda is beautiful, with not only an endless expanse of vibrant plains but also a tranquility far from the hustle and bustle of the city. It might not be a tourist destination, but it's definitely a great place for a day trip.
"As for tourism, there aren't many tourist attractions around here, but after work today, I can take Wuqing for a stroll around the area."
Hearing what Kiriharu said, Chitanda Eru, who was walking in front of him, turned around with her slender body behind her back and gave Kiriharu a very beautiful smile.

"Thank you then."
Wu Qing really wanted to wander around here.
After all, the air here is fresh and the scenery is beautiful. The endless fields are different from the cities full of skyscrapers, and have a unique beauty that makes people want to stroll in a picturesque landscape.
"It's nothing. Although Wu Qing is here to work, she's still a guest after all, so it's only right that I show you around."
Chitanda Eru looked at Kiriharu with a smile and said.
Her smile is refreshing, yet endearingly naive.
Kiriharu loves seeing Chitanda Eru's smiling face.
Her smile is truly healing, making you feel inexplicably that life is worthwhile.
Why didn't I meet a girl like this in my past life?
Perhaps it's because that kind of world is a bit too realistic...
There are bad apples among anime fans, but most just want to find something in that cold, impersonal world that can fulfill their beautiful fantasies.
Some people think watching anime is childish.
Wu Qing was often talked about in her past life.
But what's wrong with yearning for such a beautiful utopia?
I don't understand those who laugh at the number 12.
Two is now our only refuge.
Is it wrong to want to go to beautiful places?
I want to go to heaven, I want to go to utopia, I want to go to the second place.
These wishes are essentially the same...
Wu Qing is a rather sensitive person, and he couldn't help but reminisce about the past.
At the same time, he remembered the melody he often listened to, a song sung by a Russian girl called "I Want to Go to the Second," which could be found in many versions on the site.
Wu Qing especially loves the one with 8.3 views.
He still remembered the lyrics, and at that moment he couldn't help but hum along; it was also the only Russian song he knew how to sing.
"I want to go to the second one. I have become a virtual character. I am tired of life in this country. Here, all the systems are slaves, trampling on each other, constantly consuming each other, repeating the same work, retiring and dying."
And anime is immortal, just like Yegor Letov's song, whether it's harem anime or catgirl anime, here, dreams have no boundaries..."
The voice has little variation, carrying a faint sadness. Even if you don't understand the lyrics, it makes you feel a pang in your heart, like sitting on the balcony late at night humming to the moon.
Wu Qing didn't sing the second half because he didn't like it.
But this melancholic song caught the attention of Chitanda Eru.
"Wu Qing, can you still sing Russian songs? But this melody..."
Chitanda Eru tilted her head, looking at Kirishi with some concern.
The song is so beautiful it's beyond words; the lyrics are incomprehensible, but the melody is exceptionally melancholic.
She keenly sensed Wu Qing's emotions at that moment.
It was a longing, an indescribable longing.
Just as a drowning person longs for air, or a person suffering from disaster longs for paradise.
"What, do you understand?"
Kirishi looked at Chitanda Eru and smiled slightly.
The three of them had now reached the edge of an endless cornfield.
Standing on the small earthen slope, you can see endless corn stalks, densely packed in the field, and the air is filled with the scent of fresh grass.
Chitanda Eru stopped in her tracks.
She should have been here to work, but at this moment she was more concerned about Wu Qing's condition.
People don't sing sad songs when they're okay.
Unless bad memories suddenly come to mind.
Was it because Kiriharu heard or saw something?
Or is it that what I said was wrong?
Chitanda Eru winked at Kirishi and shook her head.
"I didn't understand it. I'm really curious about the lyrics, but I'm even more curious about what's wrong with you, Wu Qing, and why you suddenly sang a song like this."
"It's nothing, I was just humming a tune."
Kiriharu couldn't tell the truth, and at the same time, he realized that his unconscious humming had worried Chitanda Eru.
So he quickly smiled and changed the subject.
"It's really nothing. I also know other songs, would you like to hear them?"
"I want to hear it!"
Although Chitanda Eru is easily curious about many things, she also considers the situation. Seeing that Kiriharu didn't intend to talk about it, she stopped asking about those things and instead became curious about Kiriharu herself.
This was already the umpteenth time she had been curious about Wu Qing.
It started with martial arts, then it became singing.
Not only is he a good writer and skilled in martial arts, but he also seems to be a great singer.
Chitanda Eru genuinely felt that Kiriharu was amazing.
"How about I sing you a song from my hometown?"
“Okay, okay, let’s listen to it before we start working, what do you say, Ichiri?” Chitanda Eru looked at Goto Ichiri excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Goto Ichiri, who was calculating the accounts on his phone, paused for a moment.
Then, looking at Chitanda Eru, she said, "Ah, yes, yes, that's fine. I'm not in a hurry to work, and I just realized that my wages from yesterday's 587 days are more than enough for me, so I'd like to go back this morning..."
Goto Ichiri waved his hands apologetically.
Her family isn't poor; on the contrary, they're quite wealthy. She's only doing this part-time job because she wants to use her own abilities to replace the strings on a piano that she accidentally broke.
"Yes, that's fine. It's a part-time job after all."
Chitanda Eru looked at Goto Ichiri and nodded, "But before we leave, let's listen to Kiriharu sing the song together. I have a feeling you'll regret it if you don't!"
"Actually, I wanted to listen to it anyway, because he sang so well, it made you want to keep listening..."
Goto Ichiri put down his phone and spoke hesitantly.
It's quite remarkable that someone with her social anxiety would even express her thoughts.
This also proves from another perspective that Wu Qing's singing voice is indeed very attractive.
Wu Qing, who originally wanted to change the subject, felt that the atmosphere had inexplicably become serious. She had only intended to sing a few songs casually.
Alright, alright, then let's be a little more serious.
Wu Qing smiled at the two girls whose faces were full of expectation.
"Then I'll sing it. This song is called 'The Clock That Goes Against the Direction'..."
Chapter 157: Are you this gentle to every girl?
Zhong Wuqing, who was going in the opposite direction, quite liked listening to it. As for why he sang this song, he didn't know. He just inexplicably thought of this song, probably because he was feeling nostalgic.
"Then I'll begin." Wu Qing cleared her throat playfully.
"Uh-huh!"
