The days when I helped the protagonist come to power [System]

Ersie looked at the oil painting hanging on the wall in surprise. Under the reflection of the moonlight, he was sure that he was right—the young man with silver hair and red eyes in the painting was undoubtedly his own appearance in human form.

why?

Why does my own portrait appear in a palace deep in the jungle in this world?

The black-haired young man leaning against the table suddenly turned his head and met Ersey's eyes.The man froze for a moment, then immediately left the table and walked towards this side.

"you're awake?"

The other party stretched out his hand as if trying to pick him up from the ground, but Ersey nimbly avoided his hand, rolled all the way to the desk, looked up at the oil painting, and then turned to look at the young man standing at the door.

Hei Luomi pursed her lips, but said nothing.

He could see the doubt in the man's eyes, which also showed that this man really had no memory of the past.Although he knew this fact a long time ago, he was reminded again and again, like a wound that hadn't healed and was torn open again and again, every time it made him so painful that he couldn't speak.

Erxi vaguely felt that something was wrong with the black-haired young man's expression. He tilted his head and looked at him for a while, then rolled back with his chubby body, and then grabbed the other's clothes and climbed all the way to his shoulders, rubbing the young man's face lightly. Face.

——Hey, what's the matter with you?

As if he could compose that person's clumsy and blunt voice that implied worry and concern, He Luomi reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, and gently stroked the other person's soft down with his hands.

"I am fine."

The white Nono avoided his fingers, jumped directly on top of his head, bit his hair with its teeth, and seemed to drag him to look at the painting again.

"ok, ok, I got it."

Hei Luomi smiled helplessly, walked to the painting again, and looked up.

The moonlight illuminates the face of the person in the painting, the person's beautiful blood-colored eyes are looking into the distance, there is confidence and arrogance that cannot be concealed in the eyes, the proud and willful temperament is even more lifelike, as if he can walk out of the painting at any time .

"This man..." Heluomi paused slightly, his voice a little hoarse, "He is the real master of this palace."

He felt that the Nono beast above his head became quiet all of a sudden, and seemed to be stunned.

what?

Ersie did not expect to hear such an answer.

He is the master here?Is this where he once lived in this world?

--how about you?

Ersey looked down at the dark-haired youth below him.

——Who are you?

——You...why do you live alone in my palace?

***

Ersie didn't get the answer he wanted to know.

Although under his entanglement, that person continued to tell many things about himself, saying that he used to be the prince of the demons in this world, how he used to scare his opponents on the battlefield, and even mentioned Soko and Ellie Sha's name made Erxi clearly know what kind of role she used to be in this world for the first time.

But from the beginning to the end, that person did not mention a word of himself.

All he narrated was about Erxi, but he kept silent about himself, so Erxi had no idea why this man was here, nor did he know who he was, nor did he know that he had played a role in his past. What kind of role do you play.

This person seems to be hiding in the shadows behind the scenes, or like an audience sitting in a corner watching a play on a stage. He knows everything, knows everything, but is far away from everything and isolated from everything.

As for the study, Ersie has never been able to enter since that night: it is completely locked, and the surrounding corridors are also restricted. The way to that room.

This is not fair.

Ersie thought angrily.

Since this is my palace, how can you prevent me from freely going where I want?

Ursi originally wanted to argue with this rude guy, but every time he rushed in front of the man with all his strength, he was inexplicably defeated in the end.

Speaking of this, Erxi was very speechless: the other party obviously resisted his intimacy at first, but maybe he got used to it later, and the black-haired young man was no longer nervous. Every time he saw him take the initiative to roll over, he was very happy. He plucks his hair when he mentions it.

I have to say that the other party's hair-plucking technique is really proficient and comfortable, especially when scratching the soft nape of the neck and belly, Ersie's bones immediately brittle, and all the anger and resentment before flew away. I just want to lie flat and let my hair fall.When he was most comfortable, he would still cling to the other party's fingers reluctantly, hoping that the other party would continue without stopping.

—Of course, when he sobered up afterwards, Ersie would always want to beat himself to death.

He swears, this is absolutely not his intention, it is all the fault of the animal instinct of this body!He is not such a spineless and shameless person! !

When it comes to animal instinct, Erxi is also speechless about being more and more used to and enjoying being fed.Apart from being stroked every day, the other party feeds him delicious food in different ways, and it's all his favorite food.For a long time, Erxi’s daily routine was: go to find that person as soon as he opens his eyes, accept feeding after being smoothed; go to sleep after eating; go to sleep and repeat it again...

After eating and sleeping like this, the result of eating and sleeping is——

"...Huh? It's getting heavier."

The man glanced at the Nono beast in his arms, and even weighed it slightly, and then rubbed Ersie's round belly, he must have come to a conclusion.

"You gained a lot of weight."

Ersie: "!!!"

"It's okay to be fat, it's so cute to be round." The young man smiled slightly, lovingly and gently drawing circles on his fur with his slender fingers, "And it shows that I have been fed well and have a sense of accomplishment. "

Ersie: "......"

Ersie ignored the guy for the rest of the day.

Fuck you, what does it mean to be well fed!Do you really think this prince is your pet? !

...although it looks like it is.

Erxi's self-esteem was severely frustrated, and he was depressed all day. When the other party prepared the food at night and came to invite him to eat, Erxi ignored him and rolled to the corner alone.

Hei Luomi: "..."

Uh, could it be that he said he was fat and hurt his self-esteem?

Hei Luomi wanted to laugh a little, he stretched out his hand to touch the round body of the other party who was swollen with anger, and was slapped away by a paw as expected.

...Well, I'm really angry.

"I put the food on the table, and today I have your favorite passion fruit."

The other party seemed to leave after speaking. Erxi turned his head after a while and found that there was no one in the room.

What, he knew he was angry and didn't come to coax him, this person is really bad!

……

Hey, hey, how could I have such an idea, it's terrible!

Erxi hurriedly shook her head desperately, and after she calmed down, her eyes could not help but drift to the table next to her.

... No, I can't eat any more, I have to hold back!

Ersie rubbed his stomach after a day of hunger, and forcibly looked away.He froze in place for a while, then turned up, and instead of climbing over to the table, he climbed along the curtains to the window sill.

It was night now, but the moonlight was very good tonight, and the quiet jungle vegetation under the night could be clearly seen through the window.

As seen from above, this jungle is too quiet, except for the occasional rustling of the grass by the breeze, there is no sign of biological activity at all. The whole jungle seems to have fallen into a deep sleep and will never Don't know when it will wake up.

Ersie watched the night scene for a while, then turned his eyes inadvertently, and found that the window was not closed tightly.

He fiddled with his paws curiously, then retracted his body and squeezed towards the gap. After repeated several times, the gap of the window opened wider. If Ersie was not fat, he might be able to get out directly. .

Just as he was about to force himself to open the window again, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Where are you going?"

Ersie was so startled that he nearly rolled off the edge of the ledge.He turned his head and saw that the black-haired young man came back at some point. He was standing in the shadow of the wall at the moment. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly, the gaze he cast was obviously cold and dangerous.

Ersie immediately became wary.

——I always feel that this person... seems a little different from usual.

The man looked at Ersie in silence for a while, then suddenly stepped forward and walked slowly towards this side.

"Am I not good enough for you? Why do you still want to leave?"

The young man's voice was much softer than before, but as he approached, the hairs on Ersie's body stood on end—this was an animal's instinctive reaction to danger.

Feeling that the situation was a bit bad, Erxi wanted to run, but the other party just pointed at him, and Erxi felt as if roots had taken root in his feet, and he couldn't move at all.He watched the person approaching helplessly, and the person stretched out his hand to hook the window, and the window that had been opened a crack closed tightly with a "bang", with such force that the entire window sill shook.

"……you are mine."

The man picked Ersie up in his arms and ran his hands through the blasted hair on his body.Although his movements were as gentle as ever, Ersie shivered—this man's hands were so cold, so cold that there was no warmth at all, as if his heart had been frozen.

"Without my permission, you can't go anywhere." The black-haired young man said lightly.In his lowered eyes, a bloody red mist began to form, and the eyes staring at Erxi became more and more crazy and paranoid.

"If you dare to run again," his voice was gloomy, "don't blame me for treating you..."

Ersie felt the other's hand tightening suddenly, and he almost cried out in pain.

Why did this guy go crazy all of a sudden? !

A burst of anger surged out, Erxi bit the man's hand hard, and the man trembled, and the dangerous aura lingering around his body just now disappeared in an instant as if blown away by the cold wind.

Feeling the loosening of the force that restrained him, Erxi immediately jumped to the ground, and he stepped back while looking at the man vigilantly.

But the other party didn't intend to arrest him anymore, that person just stood there in a daze for a long time.The blood in his eyes gradually faded, and the clarity and clarity returned to him.He looked at his hands, then at the wary Ersie.

"I...how can I..."

Against the moonlight outside the window, Ersey couldn't see the other person's expression clearly. All he could see was that the man's hands were gradually shaking. Words, suddenly, he stomped his feet fiercely and disappeared from the spot.

***

Erxi didn't see the man again for several days.

The food would appear on the table on time throughout the day, but there were no people in the rooms where the other party often stayed these days.

Erxi thought that the other party should be hiding from him on purpose.

Because once, he was wandering bored in the corridor, and accidentally met that person at the corner, but before Ersie could react, the other person immediately backed away, and when Ersie ran through the corridor, it was already empty. There are no more people.

Ersie felt speechless.

Why are you running away? It's like I'm bullying you. It's obviously your fault first, okay? !

After all, he just wanted to open the window to get some air that day, and he didn't intend to sneak out at all, but the other party suddenly became so angry that he almost crushed him into a pulp.And Erxi also found out that the exits of this palace have been blocked, even if he really wanted to leave now, he couldn't leave at all.

Not seeing anyone and not letting him go, this feeling of being placed in captivity is really bad. Normally, Ersie would have gritted his teeth with hatred, but as time went by, he found that—rather than being angry, I seem to be more worried about that person.

He is not so squeamish, he will be relentless if he is pinched; after all, we have been together for so long, even if one person and one beast can't communicate normally, the little things we get along with each other make Erxi understand that the other party is nothing A villain with evil intentions.

What are you hiding from?Ersie couldn't help thinking.

What are you... what are you afraid of?

And this turmoil also made Erxi feel deeply once again——

That person is really lonely.

This does not refer to the state of the other party living alone in a quiet and deserted palace, but a lonely breath emanating from the depths of the soul.

He had already felt this aura when he first saw each other; later, as the two got along, it gradually faded; but yesterday when he bumped into that person at the corner by chance, he found this aura again. It's back, and it's stronger and colder than before.

Erxi once felt that this palace was very cold, but in fact, it was only because the hearts of the people who lived here were too cold.That person guarded the palace alone, almost never leaving, as if he was waiting for a person who would never come back; but the door of his heart has been tightly closed, how could he wait for the person he really wanted to wait for?

***

That night Ersey had a dream.

He dreamed that he came to an incomparably beautiful fairyland, and here... met the black-haired young man.

However, the young man was a little different from the one he saw in the palace, appearing more youthful and cheerful; there was another person beside the black-haired young man, but that person's face was too blurry for Ersie to see his appearance clearly.

——You agreed?You promised...to accept me?

—I just said try it.

--Really?Really... Really?

—Is it still useful for me to say 'no' now?

Erxi saw the black-haired young man hugging the person in front of him excitedly, with a bright smile on his face that he had never seen before. He smiled so happily and happily, as if he hugged more than just one person , but the whole world—the other party is his world, his everything.

——Teacher, just wait and see.

Erxi heard the man's joyful and firm voice, which was completely different from reality. In his dream, his eyes were shining brightly like stars, and there was no hesitation or confusion on his face.

——I will definitely do it, you must wait for me.

When Ersie awoke, he felt a little lost.

He didn't understand why he was like this, obviously it was just a dream that had nothing to do with him, but inexplicably, he always felt that his chest was empty, as if something was missing.

If he could return to that dream again, he really wanted to ask the person in the dream——

——Did you do what you wanted to do?

——And the person who said he would wait for you... Later, did you wait?
