Jinjiang Literature City debuts.

And for some reason,

Looking at Katori like this, he always had a subtle feeling in his heart,

But he couldn't put it into words.

Katori looked at him with a "are you kidding?" look,

"I don't have anything to begin with."

When she transmigrated, other than the clothes she was wearing, she only brought her phone,

Headphones,

Half a pack of tissues and a lip balm,

Everything else was bought by Keigo.

Half of it was because she didn't care much about dressing up,

She felt that it was too troublesome, and half of it was because she trusted Keigo's taste,

So she left almost everything to him to handle.

And what she was worried about was where to play today,

The question of who to play with tomorrow... cough cough, it seemed a little heartless to think about it this way.

"Well, let's not dwell on these small matters. Let's go quickly." Katori coughed lightly,

She guiltily picked up Xiao Bai, who was nestled by her feet,

She rubbed its tail,

She took the lead and walked out of the door.

Keigo, who was left behind, watched her back disappear into the light,

He vaguely felt that Katori would disappear.

However, she was not from this world. Even if she disappeared and returned to her own world,

It was normal.

Just like him back then.

Keigo's breathing stagnated for a moment,

He subconsciously ignored the suffocating feeling in his heart.

He closed his eyes,

When he opened them again, they returned to their calm appearance.

Forget it, as long as she was still in this world.

As long as she enjoyed the present time before she left, it would be fine.

Keigo stood where he was and fell into a depressed mood. On the other side, Katori had already nimbly carried Xiao Bai onto the bus and went straight to the last row.

After she lost Xiao Bai downstairs where Huang Se was shooting photos, she didn't pay much attention to it for the next two days. She felt that Xiao Bai was a big monster and nothing would happen to it.

However, after the little guy climbed back through the window last night, it started crying and saying that she didn't want it anymore. It gave Katori a headache.

She spent a long time coaxing it back, but in the end, it slept soundly, while she kept yawning because she slept late and woke up early.

Katori put her luggage on the ground and lay down on the chair. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When Keigo got into the car and saw Katori, he frowned.

He took off his coat and gently covered Katori with it so that she wouldn't catch a cold. He also told the driver to drive carefully and steadily so that she wouldn't fall off the seat due to the bumps.

Xiao Bai, who was lying on the ground, twitched her ears and looked at Keigo, whose expression had softened. She thought to herself, 'Humans are really strange creatures.'

Who would be able to see such a gentle gesture only after the person involved had fallen asleep?

Without being noticed by the person involved, what could they gain in the end by blindly giving out gentleness?

Just like the Spirit-branded Retainers and Fu Mourning God who used to work for Nanzhi, they were also a bunch of idiots who didn't know how to express their true feelings.

Xiao Bai, who thought that she had figured out the truth, shook her fluffy tail and jumped onto the seat lightly. She found a place in Katori's arms to curl up and closed her eyes with her.

After all, the master she served was very slow-witted.

"You only brought such a small bag?" Keigo frowned and looked at Katori, who was obviously still half asleep.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Katori covered her mouth with her hand and yawned as she mumbled.

She wiped away the saline water that had seeped out of the corner of her eyes with her fingertips and looked at her crossbody bag in confusion.

Was there a problem?

Seeing the confusion on her face, Atobe could not help but rub his temples. "What I mean is, didn't you bring a bit too few things?" She was a girl after all, so there was something wrong with her bringing even fewer things than a guy, wasn't there?

And for some reason, looking at Katori like this, he had a subtle feeling in his heart that he couldn't explain.

Katori looked at him with a "are you kidding me?" look. "I didn't bring anything."

When she transmigrated over, other than the clothes she was wearing, she only brought her phone, earphones, half a pack of tissues, and lip balm. Keigo bought everything else.

Half of it was because she didn't care much about dressing up and thought it was too troublesome. Half of it was because she trusted Keigo's taste, so she left almost everything to him.

And the only thing she was worried about was where to go today and who to play with tomorrow... Ahem, it seemed a little heartless to think about it like this.

"Well, let's not worry about these small things. Let's go."

Katori coughed and guiltily picked up Xiao Bai, who was nestled at her feet. She rubbed its tail and walked out of the door first.

Keigo, who was left behind, watched her disappear into the light. For a moment, he had a feeling that Katori would disappear.

But she was not from this world. Even if she disappeared and returned to her own world, it was normal.

Just like how he was in the past.

Keigo stopped breathing for a second and subconsciously ignored the suffocating feeling in his heart.

He closed his eyes and when he opened them again, they were back to normal.

Whatever, as long as she was still in this world, it was fine.

As long as she enjoyed the time she had before she left, it would be fine.

While Keigo stood in the same place and fell into a depressed mood, Katori had nimbly carried Xiao Bai onto the bus and went straight to the last row.

After she lost Xiao Bai downstairs where Huang Se was taking photos, she didn't care about it for the next two days. She thought that Xiao Bai was a big monster and nothing would happen to it.

But last night, after the little guy climbed back through the window, it began to cry and said that she didn't want it anymore, which gave Katori a headache.

She spent a long time coaxing it back. In the end, it slept soundly, but she kept yawning because she went to bed late and woke up early.

Katori put the luggage on the ground, lay down on the chair and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

Keigo got on the bus and frowned when he saw Katori.

He took off his clothes and gently covered Katori with it to prevent her from catching a cold. He also instructed the driver to drive carefully and steadily so that she wouldn't fall off the chair due to the bumps.

Xiao Bai, who was lying on the ground, twitched its ears and looked at Keigo, whose expression had softened, thinking that humans were really strange creatures.

Who could see that they only did this kind of gentle action after the person involved fell asleep?

What could they gain in the end if they were not noticed by the person involved and only showed tenderness?

Just like the shikigami and Fu Mourning God who used to work for Nanzhi, they were also a bunch of idiots who didn't know how to express their true feelings.

Xiao Bai, who thought that it had figured out the truth, shook its fluffy tail and nimbly jumped onto the seat. It found a place in Katori's arms to curl up and closed its eyes with her.

After all, the master that it served was very slow-witted.

Natsume was wearing a sky-blue dress and a white apron that matched Katori's impression. The flouncy skirt looked playful, clean, simple, and refreshing. It was a dress that matched Natsume's style very well.

Katori's gaze lingered on the blue ribbon on Natsume's head for a while, and she spoke sincerely when she saw his slightly red face.

"Although it's not quite right to say that, this outfit really suits you."

Don't say it if you know it's not quite right.

Natsume was a little helpless, but he didn't pay too much attention to Katori's words. After all, he was already used to Katori's various mischievous actions and words. To a certain extent, he even liked Katori's personality, although there was something subtly wrong with it...

"Why is Ito here?" In the end, Natsume only asked the question that he was most concerned about.

Katori briefly explained to him, and at the same time explained the possible way out that she and Yukimura had discussed — the key was Alice.

After listening to Katori's analysis, Natsume suddenly felt an invisible pressure on his shoulders. He laughed dryly and said somewhat unconfidently, "Is, is that so?"

But he had been wandering around the forest for a long time and still couldn't find a way out. Could he really bring Ito and those who were implicated by him out?

"That's true, but that's only in theory."

Katori also noticed Natsume's anxious expression. She patted Natsume's shoulder to comfort him, "After all, this isn't a dream. Even if you use the story of Alice in Wonderland as an analogy, it doesn't work."

In the original work, the ending was that Alice woke up from her dream, and this obviously didn't meet the conditions.

"But if that's the case, the clues are broken."

Katori pointed to the side of her face with her finger in distress, but she soon stopped worrying about these things. She smiled and took Natsume's hand and walked in a certain direction.

"Forget it, there will always be a way. Let's go over there and take a look. I just saw white smoke rising over there. Maybe there's someone we know."

Natsume was caught off guard when his wrist was held. He was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but focus his attention on that point.

It wasn't that he hadn't held other girls' wrists before, but this time it seemed to be particularly different.

Was it because they had only held hands because they were being chased by demons?

The feeling this time seemed to be particularly different.

"Speaking of which, Natsume, your sense of direction isn't particularly bad, right?

After all, you're someone who often walks around in the forest … Ah, maybe you got lost because you were waiting for me. After all, according to the setting, you're Alice who jumped into the rabbit hole to chase after the white rabbit. "

Katori casually changed the topic, but the boy behind her didn't make a sound.

Katori, who doesn't get a response, looks back strangely, only to see Natsume looking at her blankly with a confused face. The blush that disappeared from her face unknowingly resurfaces, making Natsume look particularly weak and pure in her current dress.

"Natsume, your face is so red."

She subconsciously placed her hand on his cheek, and his temperature, which was much higher than hers, was continuously transmitted to her from the place of contact.

"Ah, sorry, I was just thinking about something. Did you say anything?"

Natsume was startled by her action and stepped back slightly, with a slightly apologetic smile on his face.

Katori stared at him for a while and sighed, a little frustrated, "Really, obviously …"

She was dispirited for a moment, but quickly pulled herself together, "Forget it, it's nothing. Let's keep going. We can already see the white smoke clearly from here."

"Okay."

Natsume responded with a smile. When they hurried on their way again, he realized that.

Katori had let go of his hand without him noticing.

...

When Katori excitedly rushed to the place where the white smoke was coming out, the first thing she saw was Liu Lianji, who was holding his cane and quietly watching the smoke drift away.

Thin wisps of smoke slowly drifted out of the uniquely shaped pipe in his hand, and then slowly spread out in the air, as light and soft as cotton candy.

Wait, could it be real cotton candy?

Thinking of the various delicious desserts she saw along the way, Katori couldn't help but have this suspicion.

However, she didn't try it immediately, because something more interesting attracted her attention, and that was Liu's current appearance.
