[Conan/Through Her] Fairy's Indus

"You saved her, Bourbon." A familiar voice said with a joyful tone.

In the chaotic consciousness, a question instinctively squeezed out.

--who is it?

"Eh...don't you remember me anymore?" It was that voice again, this time a little disappointed, but still very gentle.

With the master's efforts, his consciousness gradually became clearer.

In the pure white space, Bourbon gradually saw the person in front of him clearly.

The curvature of his cat eyes makes the word cute appear on this young man with stubble without any contradiction.

"Scotland." Bourbon said solemnly.

"Correct!" said Scotland.

Why do you see him?

Bourbon wondered in a daze, who had hypnotized him, and was he going to use him to obtain information about himself?

In this case, when the guy is caught, he must be shot on the spot.

Or... is he already dead?

But if you die, you shouldn't meet him in heaven, but you should go directly to hell.

Scotland wasn't too surprised by Bourbon's vigilance and continued talking to himself, "I was originally wondering why I care so much about you, a criminal, and have such a high affinity for you, even at the risk of exposing my identity. I want to pull you out of the darkness.”

"Now I know, because in countless parallel universes, you are my most important person and my best friend, zero."

Bourbon's eyes darkened, and the corner of his mouth curved into a slight mockery: "It's a pity, but I am not the Fangtani Rei you all love."

"I know, you are Bourbon," Scotland said briskly. "You are the most ignorant bad guy in the universe where I come from."

Bourbon was stunned.

"And after I died, Rum also used hypnosis to erase the human emotions in your heart, wiping away all my years of hard work." Scotland smiled and blinked, "During that time Seeing you change back to your original appearance makes me anxious to death."

"But now, I can finally feel a little more at ease." Scotland looked relieved again, "Thanks to that child... maybe she can do the things I couldn't do."?

——What on earth...are you talking to yourself about, this guy?Is it true that Scotland is a person who talks so much?

"Because I'm in a hurry, and I can't let you stay here for too long. I still have a lot of things I want to convey." Scotland took a few steps forward and came to Bourbon, regardless of Bourbon's vigilance and resistance. , leaned forward and gave him a hug as light as a feather, "Okay, you should go back. Don't let the child wait too long, she is very worried about you."

"You still have a long, long way to go, don't get here so soon."

Bourbon opened his eyes and saw a graceful figure sitting beside his hospital bed.

He opened his mouth slightly, and his voice was weak: "Bel... Mod?"

Belmod was playing with his cell phone with his legs crossed, and when he heard the sound of bourbon, he turned off the screen and looked at him with a smile: "Hey, you're awake. Do you feel any discomfort?"

"That snake... something's not right." Bourbon struggled to sit up and felt a tearing pain in his wound. He couldn't help but look over and saw that he had been covered three times inside and three outside. Wrap the left hand into a rice dumpling.

Bourbon stared at it for a moment, "By the way, where is the child?"

"Your kitten was taken by the doctor for a blood test." Belmode replied.

Bourbon frowned, "Why? I remember that I fainted after beating the snake to death. She should not have been bitten."

Belmode laughed, "Because, your attending doctor discovered that she sucked out the snake venom from your wound before."

Bourbon was stunned and opened his eyes slightly.

"Don't worry, your kitten should be fine." Belmod shrugged again, "Thanks to her, you saved your life, but it's hard to say whether it will have any sequelae on your body."

Bourbon took a deep breath: "Could that snake be a species cultivated by the organization? After all, there shouldn't be any snake venom that is so toxic. One bite can directly cause coma..."

"Yes, fortunately your kitten is smart enough and realized this." Belmod praised, "After you fainted, she immediately sucked out the poisonous blood from your wound and treated you properly. For emergency bandaging, when your new recruits took you down the mountain and sent you to the hospital, they also knew to give me a call so that I could rush to the pharmaceutical team to get a serum specifically designed to neutralize that toxin and send it to you. Come here - if you miss any of these steps, I will lay flowers on your grave during Bon Festival next year... Well, do you like red roses?"

Bourbon rolled his eyes angrily.

"Shall I come in?" Ruri knocked on the door of the ward.

Belmod looked straight at her, looking her up and down with a slightly sharp look. The little girl shook the shopping bag in her hand unmoved, "Are you hungry? I'm waiting for the results. I went to the convenience store downstairs to buy some food and drinks. The rice balls, bread and tea were all heated by the clerk."

"Have the test results come out?" Bourbon asked.

"Yeah, don't worry, I'll be fine!" the little girl replied with a smile.

Bourbon realized belatedly that the way the child squinted his eyes and smiled was very similar to Scotland.

No wonder that during the days when she was around, he would always think of Scotland, which he had already forgotten...

Belmode stood up gracefully, "Since you are all fine, I will leave first."

"Bell," Bourbon said, "thank you this time."

"I have to say, Bourbon, you've become a lot cuter recently," Belmode winked, "You owe me a favor~"

"Cute and stuff...I know, please don't worry."

"Beautiful sister!" Ruri chased her two steps and said enthusiastically, "Thank you very much this time! Do you want some tea? There are black tea, green tea and oolong tea. Which one do you like?"

Belmode turned her head and glanced meaningfully at the little girl chasing behind her in the empty corridor of the hospital.

The girl's eyes were deep blue like sapphire, and they were friendly and harmless without any evil intentions.

It's a bit similar to her angel's eyes, but not exactly the same.

Something is more and something is missing.

"That's interesting..." she murmured softly, "I'm curious...where would you take the bourbon?"

Ruri blinked: "What?"

"Oh~ It's nothing, don't worry about it." She showed her usual smile again, "I don't drink tea, you go back, little cutie."

When Ruri returned to the ward, her face was still confused.

Bourbon watched quietly from the hospital bed as the little girl sat beside him while she was distracted, peeled off a hot rice ball and stuffed it into his good hand, then opened a bottle of hot tea and placed it on his bedside.

Bourbon looked at them and saw that they were all his favorite flavors.

He smiled helplessly, "Did Belmod say anything to you?"

Ruri flattened her mouth and looked at him anxiously: "I think I might... talk to myself too much..."

"What are you talking about?"

"It's just..." she wrung her fingers and said incoherently, "I want to change you or something... Sure enough, this idea is too arrogant, right? It's a very excessive idea... I... what if you... died……"

"Isn't that a good thing?" Bourbon pointed out calmly, "If I die, the people who were killed by me in the past will rest in peace, and the people who will be killed by me can live well. You should expect me to die. Just drop it."

"...How can you expect that kind of thing!"

"But if it is as you wish, and I take the path of reforming evil and turning myself in to the righteous party, there is a high probability that I will be directly sentenced to death. In that case, I will die, right?" Bourbon laughed. Laughing, "It's normal to kill someone to pay for your life. As early as I embarked on the road of killing, I knew that I would be killed. Those who kill will always be killed."

"There is no such thing...! I don't want this! I don't want you to kill anyone, and I don't want you to be killed... I don't want the world to hurt you, and I don't want you to hurt the world... Do I think so...? Isn’t it possible?”

"Oh, this is not what the righteous party should say, is it?" Bourbon looked at the pair of sapphires soaked in water and made more vivid and bright because of emotions such as anger, pain and confusion, and said lightly Remind her, "The damage has been done, the dead will not forgive me so easily... Is your balance tilted?"

——That’s not what I wanted to say.

It's not that I like to see her like this, in pain or anger, crying in embarrassment on that delicate and lovely face.

Don't want her to cry.

Ruri was startled.

After a long while, she said in a deep voice, "Then I don't want to be the righteous party anymore."

Her eyes were still as clear as when they first met, but they became very determined - so Bourbon immediately understood that those were not words of anger, but determination.

It seemed that the pair of pure white wings that Bourbon had wanted to dye black were splashed with ink in an instant as he wished.

But it didn't give him the happiness he imagined.

Bourbon couldn't help but lose consciousness.

The little girl wiped the tears on her face and continued to announce with choked sobs: "I will stop the sins you will commit in the future. I will accompany you to redeem the sins you have committed in the past. I will pull you out of this dead road and find a new one." The path that will lead you to happiness.”

Scotland said: "Her words may be able to do things that I have not been able to do."

"Actually, I just met him..." Bourbon lowered his voice very softly, "But I haven't even had time to say my apology and thanks..."

Ruri hiccupped and said "Huh?" in confusion.

Bourbon smiled and touched her head, "I mean, okay, I will fulfill your wish."
