Ryuga felt that his surroundings were a bit strange recently.
The book "100 Love Skills Even Monkeys Can Understand" that he had bought and placed in his bedroom had traces of being flipped through by someone. The semi-finished gift that he had intended to give to someone had also been moved. Even the wardrobe and bed had traces of being rummaged through.
After Ryuga pondered for a long time, he bought a miniature camera and put it in the bedroom. Then he found the source of the mess in the room through the camera.
Sure enough, it could only be Esders.
"What does this woman want to do?"
Ryuga looked at Esders who was searching for something in his room on the screen, and there was a question mark on his head.
To be honest, he always thought that Esders was a straightforward type, and she would not do this kind of behavior similar to a crazy woman. Her behavior now simply subverted Ryuga's impression of her.
Does she want to investigate the source of my ability to travel between worlds? Or does she want to find weapons like Teigu? Or does she want to find his weakness and then find ways to deal with him?
"Mr. Kuramime, this is the information you want."
The private detective handed a portfolio to Ryuga's hand. "Acquaintance version, about twice as detailed as the general customer."
"Thank you, I will transfer the reward to your card according to the usual practice."
Ryuga took the portfolio and walked in the direction of the apartment.
In the apartment.
When Ryuga returned to the apartment, Esders had already cleaned up the traces and sat on the sofa. The TV in front of him was playing the Japanese crash course videotape bought in the cram school.
"I have something to talk to you about."
Ryuga put down the portfolio and then sat on the sofa opposite Esders. He asked her directly, "What are you doing in my room?"
If it was not necessary, he never knew what euphemism meant.
Esders's eyes slightly stagnated, but there was no panic on her face. Instead, after pausing the TV picture, she faced Ryuga.
"Find evidence."
She did not mean to deny it, and she also gave the answer directly.
"What evidence?"
Ryuga frowned. What evidence could there be in his room?
"I'm looking for evidence of your relationship."
Esders crossed his arms and placed his right leg on top of his left. His icy blue eyes looked at Ryuga with a sense of oppression. His eyes flashed with an inexplicable sense of concern. "Have you been in a relationship recently?"
"That's all?"
Ryuga waved her hand carelessly. "I haven't gotten my hands on him yet, so it's not considered dating. We're still in the process of dating … Why are you asking me this?"
"You haven't talked yet? That would be great. "
When Esders heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Then, his expression turned serious. "It just so happens that I also have something to discuss with you."
"Have you not smiled from the bottom of your heart during this period of time?"
If it wasn't for the serious expression on her face, Ryuga might have thought that she was joking.
"What's the point of an unnecessary smile that can't bring benefits?"
Ryuga frowned slightly and looked at her indifferently. "Also, if it's a fake smile, I can squeeze it out. But … I can't smile from the bottom of my heart."
"Why?"
Esders was puzzled. He said, "You can obviously do it. The night I was resurrected, you smiled like that."
"That night?"
Ryuga understood. "I see. If it was that night, it would be possible. But it can be that night, but it doesn't mean it can be now."
"You've been living with me for so long. You should be able to sense the problem in my relationship, right?"
Ryuga looked at Esders. "All kinds of strange people will appear in this world. Unfortunately, I'm one of them. I'm born without feelings. I don't know what love, family, and friendship are like. I don't feel anger, joy, or guilt … Not yet."
Just as Ryuga said, Esders was also vaguely aware of some abnormalities.
When Aoqi Orange lived with him for a month, she could directly point out the nature of his lack of feelings. Although Esders didn't have Aoqi Orange's unique ability to see things, it didn't mean that her observation skills were bad.
What's more, Ryuga's abnormality was to the extent that even ordinary people could see it after spending some time with him. There was no reason that she couldn't see it.
In the past half a month, she had been secretly paying attention to Ryuga. She used the camera to secretly take photos of him more than once. But in any case, she couldn't see the same pure smile as that night. His face no longer showed any expression other than indifference. When she realized this, she had already noticed that something was wrong with Ryuga.
However, Esders didn't understand the reason until he explained it himself.
He was born without feelings.
That's why he was indifferent to all kinds of things and could easily put on a variety of personality masks. It was because he didn't have a real self that his disguise ability was so strong. When he was lurking among the hunters, even she didn't find anything unusual.
"Wait a minute, you said now?"
Esders keenly captured the key information in Ryuga's words. "You mean, the problem of weak feelings can be cured in the future?"
Even if he was born without feelings, after so many days of memory playback in her mind, she could say with certainty that Ryuga did show a smile from the heart that night.
"For the time being, yes."
Ryuga slightly lowered his eyebrows. "At present, there is some progress, but I don't know whether it can be cured."
"Then there's no problem."
Esders's straightened back relaxed a little, and a relieved expression appeared on her face. "Your heart is absolutely pure, but now it's in the state of a pearl covered in dust. As long as there is a way to recover, it means that it's not a dead end. I'll also help, so it's more likely to be cured, right? "
"If you're willing to help, of course I'm more than happy to … But why?"
Ryuga looked at her with some surprise. "At most, we're just in a cooperative relationship, right? Moreover, there's a grudge between us because I killed you once. Why are you so considerate for me? "
"You mention this again …"
When this matter was mentioned, the confidence and casualness on Esders's face disappeared, leaving only helplessness and depression. "No, maybe it's a good thing to solve this matter here —"
She whispered to herself, and then quickly made a decision. After standing up from the sofa, her slender body directly crossed the short table, stepped on the table, and closed the distance between her and Ryuga. Her hands directly supported on both sides of his head, trapping him on the sofa in a position similar to a kabedon.
"Even now, I'm still very concerned about this matter. Answer me — when you were in my world, why did you want to kill me?"
