A warm and comfortable touch came from her head, and what she heard was Zenin Kiyoshi's gentle voice.
He asked her.
Which name sounds better, Riko Amanai or Star Plasma Vessel?
But Riko was her name. Star Plasma Vessel was never her name. Why would he connect these two things...
Riko's mind was a little slow to turn the corner. She looked at Zenin Kiyoshi, the despair in her eyes slightly dissipated, replaced by a touch of confusion and puzzlement.
And Zenin Kiyoshi could naturally understand. After all, Riko was only in her early teens. It was a bit difficult for her to suddenly understand these things.
What he needed at this time was the assistance of others who were important to Riko, besides himself.
The person for this role was obviously Miss Kuroi.
Kuroi at this moment did not disappoint Zenin Kiyoshi. She understood the meaning of his expectant gaze.
And looking at Riko Amanai's heartbreaking expression, Kuroi could no longer hold it in. She spoke with a choked but unusually firm voice:
"Miss Riko, you are Miss Riko! You are the Miss Riko who would chase butterflies in the yard and worry about being criticized by me after getting her clothes dirty.
You are the Miss Riko who would share her snacks with small animals and use her old clothes to make a winter nest for them.
You are the Miss Riko who would secretly cry because I was sick, and the Miss Riko who would stay up late to study for exams..."
She rushed forward and hugged Riko, sobbing uncontrollably.
Riko felt the warmth of Kuroi's body in front of her, felt Kuroi's slightly trembling body, and listened to the words that seemed to pierce deep into her heart. Suddenly, scenes from the past flashed in her mind.
Looking at the scenes that emerged in her memory, for some reason, Riko only felt an indescribable depression in her heart.
Those happy pasts were so vivid, but why, why did she feel that everything had lost its meaning at this moment?
Zenin Kiyoshi at this time looked at Riko, his eyes filled with a gentle but firm strength:
"Meaning is never given by anyone, nor is it written on some mission letter. It is lived out by oneself. It is lived out by what Riko Amanai likes to eat, what color she likes, and what animals she likes.
It grows in every subtle detail of how 'Riko Amanai' chooses to laugh, how to cry, how to treat exams, how to bathe animals, and how to cook dinner for Miss Kuroi.
Star Plasma Vessel is just a simple and stupid codename. Although I don't know what happened to those abandoned Star Plasma Vessels, since Master Tengen doesn't need them, then you can justifiably get rid of that ugly name.
And in my opinion, the importance of the name Star Plasma Vessel is not even as important as the few sesame seeds you sprinkled on the chicken wings tonight. At least I think those few sesame seeds were a stroke of genius. Not only did they make the chicken wings look better, but they also tasted more mellow.
Instead of caring about those messy things, it is better to live a life that belongs to 'Riko Amanai'. This is the most important thing for you."
Speaking of this, Zenin Kiyoshi also glanced at Toji, and then said to Riko with a smile:
"For example, Uncle Toji. This guy used to be like you, not recognized by others, but he found a lot of interesting things, such as embarrassing TV dramas, horse racing where he would lose money no matter how he bet, and cooking skills that would always turn into salty dishes...
These things are the cornerstones that make up Uncle Toji, never what name, what mission was given, what responsibility was chosen. As long as it is not a fate and obligation that you choose with your own hands, in my opinion, it is actually just the wishful thinking of those bastards.
So, when are we going to eat? Didn't you say you wanted me to taste the craftsmanship of Lady Riko?"
Hearing Zenin Kiyoshi's words, although the tear stains on Riko's face had not completely disappeared, the sadness and despair in her eyes had disappeared. She looked at Kiyoshi, but this time her eyes contained some emotions that had never existed before.
It was a kind of faint, unknown good feeling that a young girl has when facing someone she has a vague liking for.
At this age, Riko Amanai could not yet accurately understand the meaning of "like," but in some subtle actions, it could actually be clearly experienced.
For example, if it were her before, she would not hesitate to blow her nose, yawn, and do a series of actions that might damage her appearance in front of Zenin Kiyoshi.
But now, if she wanted to yawn, she would choose to hold it back. If she wanted to blow her nose, she would choose to turn her back. If she wanted to sneeze, she would definitely cover her face with her hand or a tissue.
In short, any action that might damage her image in front of Zenin Kiyoshi, Riko would no longer do.
But Riko not understanding this feeling did not mean that Yuki Tsukumo did not understand.
Perhaps because they were both Star Plasma Vessels, Yuki Tsukumo was shocked to find that when Riko Amanai developed a strange emotion towards Zenin Kiyoshi, that emotion would actually spread from Riko to herself, and even affect her way of thinking and emotions!
It's not that Yuki Tsukumo had ever liked anyone. As the only current special-grade sorcerer, she was so busy that she almost had no time for herself, let alone falling in love.
But many times, when she read some literary works, she could experience from them what kind of form [love] was.
And that so-called [love], she actually developed the same [love] for Zenin Kiyoshi in her emotions.
After realizing this, Yuki Tsukumo only felt her scalp tingling. What a joke, she was already seventeen years old, about six years older than Zenin Kiyoshi. To have that kind of emotion for such a brat?
How is that possible?!
Although Zenin Kiyoshi as a whole looked well-developed, and because of his temperament and expression, he looked a year or two older than his actual age.
But, but this is too absurd!
It must be the problem of Riko this little girl's emotional transmission!
She took a deep breath twice, and looked at Riko, who was now being coaxed by Zenin Kiyoshi. She only felt that this guy Zenin Kiyoshi was a bit... a bit... eloquent.
No, that's not right!
He's just good at coaxing girls!
Why am I starting to have those strange thoughts again?!
It must be Riko's fault!
As for Toji, he had just been inexplicably called out and used as a negative example. He only felt a little unhappy now.
Therefore, he took the remote control and prepared to loop the so-called "boring TV series" later.
