Pirate: I only come here for three things!

"How much further do we have to go?"

"A liar has no right to ask."

The girl behind him responded to Duanmu's words with a decisive tone.

Today, she has bright black hair that reaches her back, and is much taller than average. However, he has a slender body, white and transparent skin that seems to be broken by a blow, and an upright face that looks mature at first glance, but in fact still retains a childishness. As far as appearance is concerned, she is undoubtedly a beautiful girl. Even if he becomes an idol, his level is not too high.

She held her newly acquired sword Kimpira and wore a navy cape embroidered with the word justice.

Well, Duanmu was helplessly led by the girl, heading towards a quiet place.

In the deep mountains and old forests in the dim dusk, the scenery before me is black and silent. The air was filled with the turmoil and commotion of the night, and the cries of frogs.

At this time, no farmer could be seen in the distant fields, and of course nothing else could be seen. And as the two got closer and closer. A scent began to invade the boy's nostrils unconsciously.

It was the scent of a girl, with a fatal temptation.

"Gion, where is this?"

"Have I ever answered even one question from Steel Duanmu so far?"

She walked in front and grabbed Duanmu's left wrist with her right hand.

"Duanmu, I haven't forgiven you yet."

"I am so sorry."

After walking for about ten minutes, the girl in front of him finally gave him another new order to follow.

"Close your eyes."

Close? it's here?

Duanmu finally chose to do as he was told. As his vision was deprived, his other senses became more active. The faint fragrance that had been lingering on the tip of his nose since just now seemed to suddenly explode. The smell of sunshine surrounded him.

"lie down."

Lying on the ground, it doesn't have the gut-wrenching feeling of grass. It's about the feel of the fabric.

"You can open your eyes."

Duanmu opened his eyes.

In front of me, there is a starry sky that is absolutely unseen in the Holy Land, without any pollution. They were right there, within reach of themselves.

"I found this nearby, a good place for watching the stars." She sat next to Duanmu, with a soft cushion under her butt that had already covered the grass.

"How's it going, Duanmu?"

"...It's so amazing. To be honest, I can't find the words to describe it."

The girl's words are still thorny.

"Your vocabulary is really poor. Logically speaking, shouldn't liars be very eloquent?"

She stretched out her hand and pointed to the stars in the sky.

"That's Deneb, Altair, and Vega, which is the famous Summer Triangle. And then moving from there, it's..."

"Beidou, Beidou Star, right?" Duanmu responded.

"Duanmu."

"exist."

"Will you do this again next time, leaving suddenly and quietly? Let everyone worry about you, and then go to a strange place alone to fight for a strange reason?"

Duanmu enjoyed the starry sky in front of him.

"Never again."

"What about the deadline?"

"Ten thousand years." He stretched out his hand upwards, as if catching the stars. "Just as long as the stars have existed."

"Then, the denunciation session against you is over." A smile finally appeared on the girl's straight face. "Next, Duanmu, do you like this starry sky?"

"Well, I like the starry sky."

Duanmu looked at the scenery in front of him and couldn't help but feel the long-lost relaxation in his heart.

"Then it means our tastes are still the same as when we were children." Her eyes were fixed on Duanmu's face.

Finally, she spoke.

"In that case, how about our relationship?"

There was hesitation in the girl's voice.

"No, if you want me to forgive you for leaving without saying goodbye on the ship, you must agree to my request."

Then, it changed from hesitation to necessity, and then to certainty.

"..."

Duanmu looked at the girl in front of him. She had been by his side since she came out of the orphanage.

"Where's the reply?"

"When did you fall in love with me?"

"Honestly, I don't understand. I enjoy the days when I have you, and I feel happy about it, or there are other stories that make people happy. Why do you do that? You are a little bit wrong in doing so. Are there any benefits? But in the end I found that none of this actually matters.”

"The important thing is, why do I care so much about you?"

"My feelings for you, the emotions I care about so much, what is their true nature?"

"I'm not a person who would lend a helping hand to anyone." Her eyes no longer looked at Duanmu, because she felt that if she did that, she might never be able to speak again, and her sentences would become distorted. Stumbling.

"But on the ship, when I knew you were about to be in danger, why would I look for you everywhere? I wanted to convince myself that anyone would do that in that situation. There are many people in the Navy. People are like this too, they will save the weak ones in front of them without any reason..."

"But, I'm not that kind of person."

"When I was a child, you were always the best among all of us. During that time, I always thought that Duanmu you were a special being."

"And after I got to the Navy, I discovered that you are actually one of the human beings. You are a little special, but you are still a human being."

What does this mean? Are you going to expel me?

"However, I still care about you, and even at that time, I will show my desperate behavior."

"Well, by the way, Duanmu."

The girl remained motionless, looking in the direction of the starry sky.

"You haven't answered me yet."

The reply refers to the confession, right?

"Um, Gion, about what you just said."

"I want to make it clear in advance, Duanmu. I hate the kind of romantic comedies that clearly show that the male and female protagonists will be together in the end, but still maintain a lukewarm relationship that is more than friends, but not lovers, just to delay the conversation."

"By the way, let me tell you, I also hate those sports comics where the protagonist wins anyway in the end, and each game takes a year. I also hate those sports comics where the big devil will be defeated in the end, and the world will restore peace, and... It’s a fighting comic where you waste time by fighting with other fish.”

"So, what's your answer?"

Her previous sentences, which were chaotic, aimless and like a joke, became particularly clear and solemn at the end.

This was a continuous attack from her that did not give Duanmu any room to think.

Although there is still room for escape, the current atmosphere does not seem to allow vagueness to pass.

"But, in recent years, have we had the chance to talk?"

More than that.

In these years, I spent very little time talking to her.

"correct."

She didn't refute, just nodded.

"So, I wanted to talk to you a little more."

"I want to spend more time getting to know you and falling in love with you. To make sure the feelings that are touching my chest are real."

"How about a relationship that pursues love?"

After saying that, she added: "If you refuse my request, I will kill you right now and run away."

"If you do this, you will be just an ordinary murderer! Why don't you die for love!"

"Because it hurts to stab yourself with a knife, right?" She blinked her beautiful eyes. "I'm afraid of the pain."

"reply?"

Duanmu sighed from the bottom of his heart, as if he was chewing something.

Really, does this guy have such a character? Surprisingly interesting. It's great that she's falling in love with me.

"Don't say you need time to think about it. If you say such useless things, I will look down on you. Don't make girls lose face."

"Then can you promise me something?"

"what?"

"Gion, next time I do something you think is stupid in front of you, you must stop me."

"You are just doing something stupid." She said it with certainty and certainty.

"As for your request, it's a trivial matter."

She didn't care, and there was still no change on her beautiful face.

"Then let's go back to the village. It's too late now."

"Wait a minute, Steel Duanmu."

She didn't move her steps and grabbed Duanmu's wrist on the spot. This was the first physical contact between the two of them in such a long time.

Of course this is hers too, a genuine action.

touch.

Looking at each other.

This means that at this moment, we exist here.

Duanmu thought so.

"Can you give me a verbal promise?"

"Verbal?"

"Because I hate ambiguous relationships."

"Ah, so this is what you were referring to."

Duanmu fell into thinking.

Wouldn't it be too tacky if I answered with Ella? Having said that, I have only a limited understanding of how to court a mate and how to use language. It would be great if there was a language that could make you romantic.

In this case……

"The moonlight is so beautiful."

"What do you mean?"

"I like you too." Duanmu responded, holding the girl's hand.

"Gion, although I don't know what this emotion of mine is, there is no doubt that my answer to you now is the same as yours."

Under the moonlight, the two lips were stuck together.
