Chapter 36 I want to grow taller!
Chapter 37: I want to grow taller!
After more than ten minutes of explanation, Shiho finally understood the whole incident, and she also asked me to promise not to do such dangerous things again. Although I promised her that I would not take such risks again, it is not up to me to decide whether the mission is dangerous or not. When explaining to Shiho, I concealed the fact that my heart is on the right side and that I saved Vermouth. I just said that I was shot and injured in the lung because I was too careless. The purpose of my doing this is not that I don't trust Shiho. I just think it is not the right time to tell her about this.

"So. Does this mean that from today on you are Vermouth's subordinate?" Shiho asked as she picked up the coffee and took a sip.

"Yes. It's like this. I've separated from Gin, but am now under Vermouth's name. But don't worry, Shiho, after a while, I will be able to finish my training and officially start going on missions alone. This way, even under Vermouth's name, I won't be too restricted." I said with a smile.

"But, wouldn't that be dangerous?" Shiho put down her coffee and looked at me with concern.

"Idiot. Have you ever seen a killer going on a mission without any danger?" I squinted my eyes and looked at her.

"Hmph...you're the idiot." Shiho turned her head away and stopped looking at me.

"Huh? Are you angry? Hehe. Okay, Shiho, don't worry. As long as you don't agree to let me die, even if I'm taken away by the god of death, I will crawl out of hell by myself."

"Hate it. Don't say such unlucky things." Shiho shouted at me with a frown.

"Haha. Yes, yes, Princess." I quickly raised my hands in surrender.

"...Bing. You haven't come to class for the past two months. I have already started taking high school courses. Does this mean we will be separated?" After a brief silence, Shiho said with a dim look in her eyes.

"Hmm? You don't want to have separate classes from me? Hehe, it doesn't matter. I'm only two months behind. Next time during the cultural class, I'll take the third-year junior high school graduation exam. Then I can be with you again, right?"

"But, are you sure you can learn two months' worth of courses in three days?" Shiho didn't refute me, but said with a worried look on her face.

"Hehe. Shiho. Are you worried about me?" I laughed.

"Idiot. Who... who would worry about you." Shiho's cheeks turned red again. She looked very cute.

"Shiho. You're blushing."

"Call me Shirley." Shiho used her ever-changing excuse.

"Haha. Got it, Shiho." I laughed happily. Sure enough, this is the Shiho I know.

"...Forget it, I'll give you tutoring tonight." Shiho changed the subject.

"Hey? Tutoring?" A big question mark appeared above my head.

"Well, otherwise how are you going to make up for the past two months of classes? The questions in the third year of middle school are still very difficult."

"No need. I can do it myself." I said relaxedly with my hands behind my head.

"...."(stare)
"Um... well... I was afraid of disturbing your rest." I was sweating a little.

"..." (continues staring)
"Okay. Thank you, Shiho." Seeing Shiho acting like a queen, I had no choice but to give in.

"Well, I'll go back and get ready. I'll come see you tonight." Shiho smiled with satisfaction and stood up to go back.

"Um. Shiho." I said a little embarrassedly.

"what?"

"Just now. Didn't we hug each other?" I said with a blush.

"Eh?"

"Um... can I hug you again?" I was just concentrating on comforting Shiho. So I didn't really experience the feeling of hugging her. So... Hehe. I want another hug.

"Want to hug me again?" Shiho looked at me with a playful smile. "Okay, but wait until you are taller than me."

"..."

A heavy blow!!! A heavy blow!!!
After not seeing Shiho for two months, she has grown a lot taller. But I haven't changed much. Maybe the growth hormone is used to promote the recovery of the body. Looking at Shiho's playful smile, I really burst into tears. I silently swore in my heart, I want to grow taller. I want to grow taller...

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

Time passed quickly. After dinner, I returned to my room to wait for Shiho's arrival. However, the first person to knock on my door was not Shiho, but Ling, who I hadn't seen for two months.

As soon as I opened the door, before I could say anything, Ling threw herself into my arms. I hadn't seen this little girl for two months, but she hadn't grown much. She was still about 1.3 meters tall. Maybe she was a late-developing type like me.

"Wow. You miss me so much after just two months of not seeing each other? Let your brother see how much my Ling misses me." I grinned and laughed.

Without responding to my words, Ling just tightened her arms and hugged me tighter.

"Okay, okay, Ling. Be good. Brother bought you some candy, and I'll only give it to you if you moan nicely." I said gently while rubbing Ling's long purple hair.

"Humph. Who wants your candy?" Ling left my arms and looked at me angrily. "Don't even think about asking me to call you brother. Don't even think about it!"

"Hehe. This is my Ling." I touched her bangs and felt amused when I saw Ling's angry look. At the same time, I felt relieved. It turned out that there were so many people who cared about me in this black organization.

"Brother Bing." Taiyi and Mary bowed slightly to me from behind. "Congratulations to Brother Bing for recovering and being discharged from the hospital early."

"Haha, thank you. Especially you, Mary. I heard from Jingliu that you helped a lot with my surgery. Thank you." I smiled faintly. "No, Brother Bing, you are too kind." Mary's cheeks flushed slightly. "It's my honor to help Brother Bing."

"Haha. Don't stand there like idiots. Come in and sit down." I pulled Ling into the room.

"I haven't seen you for two months. How have you been?" After entering the house, I asked about their recent situation.

"Hehe. In the past two months, we have all passed the elementary school exams and entered the first grade of middle school." Ling said to me with a smile. "And I can already take the exam for the third grade of middle school. If I pass, I can be in the same grade as you."

"Haha. Ling, you're amazing. You're already in the third year of middle school so quickly."

"Hey, what about you, Bing? If I pass the exam, can I be in the same class with you?" Ling looked at me with starry eyes.

"Um... this..." I found it a little difficult to speak.

"What?" Ling also had a big question mark on her head.

Knock, knock, knock. The knock on the door sounded again.

I walked towards the door and opened it, and saw Shizuru and Shiho standing at the door at the same time.

"Oh? How did you two meet?" I asked.

"Hehe. When I came back from getting clothes, I saw Shiho holding the test paper at the entrance of the library. So we came back together." Shizuru winked at me. When we entered the room, we saw a room full of people. We were both a little surprised.

"Bing... Why would your woman come here with the test papers?" Ling saw Shiho holding a stack of test papers and looking at me with her half-moon eyes.

"Um... okay. I'll be honest." I thought about it and decided it would be better to tell her.

So . . Like this . . . Then . . .

"Tsk. I finally thought I caught up with you. You're going to college again. Humph!" Ling looked at me angrily. This cute puffy face seemed to have become the signature of this little girl. It always makes people want to pinch her.

"There's nothing I can do. It's because I'm so outstanding." I answered Ling with a smile.

"Hmph! It's for your woman, right?" Ling squinted her eyes and looked at me. "Just wait. Your protection period will be up in a few months. You'd better be careful when the time comes or I'll beat you so hard that you won't know where to go!" Ling shouted at me loudly.

"Haha. I've been waiting for you. But you are still too young." As I said that, I reached out and rubbed her bangs.

"Hey, Shirley." Ling dodged my hand and turned to look at Shiho.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Do you mind if I borrow your man for a while?" Ling took a step back and took my arm. Uh... What on earth is this little girl trying to do?
"Eh?" Shiho's cheeks turned red after hearing Ling's words.

"Is it okay? He is my brother after all. You shouldn't be so stingy, right?" Ling said while holding my arm tightly.

"Huh? Ling. Are you finally willing to call me brother?" I joked.

"Bing, shut up!" Ling looked at me with her eyes narrowed.

"yes..."

"Hey. Shirley. Answer me quickly." Ling looked at Shiho with interest.

"Well. Take it and use it." Shiho's words made everyone present a little stunned. She said take it and use it? That means. She admitted that I am his... I am the happiest person among all the people present. If what she said was from her heart. Then...

"Bing. I'll wait for you in my room." Before I could react, Shiho said the second sentence gently. This sentence almost made everyone's heart stop beating. Although I knew she was waiting for me in the room for tutoring, but... not everyone in the room understood what she meant. After that, Shiho left the room with a pile of papers, leaving us with slightly red cheeks.

"Hmph. I just wanted to piss her off. I didn't expect she would actually admit it." Ling squinted her eyes and puffed up her cheeks as she looked in the direction Shiho left.

"Huh? Admitted it? Admitted what?" I pretended to be stupid.

"Hmph. You're still ungrateful after getting the advantage. As expected, Bing, you're the most cunning." Ling turned her face away and stopped looking at me.

"Hey, hey... I'm being cunning. Didn't you ask her that?" I squinted my eyes and looked at Ling. "But I have to thank you, Ling. If what she said just now is true, then she will be your future sister-in-law, hahahaha." I laughed mischievously.

"Hmph! You just know how to bully me." Ling looked at me angrily.

"Hehe. Okay, okay. I was just kidding. Anyway, Ling, since you sent Shiho away, do you really have something to discuss with me?" I asked, ruffling Ling's purple hair.

"Well, I do have something to talk to you about. Even though you have just recovered. But if you don't come soon, I'm afraid you won't have time again."

"Huh? What's so urgent?" I asked puzzledly.

"Actually...actually, we have something we need your help with, Brother Bing." Taiyi, who had been standing nearby without saying anything, suddenly stood up and said to me somewhat embarrassedly.
