Actually, an hour ago, Xia Pingzhou had the Soldier Giants use long swords to cut down a few maple trees, then shaved the wood into smooth planks, which they pieced together to make a long public bench.
Xia Pingzhou held Ayase Origami's hand and led her to sit on the wooden bench.
The two lowered their eyes, glancing at the sea under the moonlight. It was the dead of night, the moon occasionally appearing and disappearing among the fish-scale clouds, while the sea below the cliff beat against the shore, making a cold, rustling sound.
Xia Pingzhou said to her, "You can sleep for a while now, and I'll wake you later."
Ayase Origami nodded, resting her head on his shoulder.
Listening to the tide, she slowly fell asleep. Who knows how much time passed when Xia Pingzhou suddenly reached out his hand and gently brushed her hair.
"You can wake up now."
On the long wooden bench, Ayase Origami woke up in response, slowly opening her eyes.
