gentle and affectionate

Chapter 12.

The breeze is coming slowly, and the moon and stars are rare.The hustle and bustle of the city was wiped away by the night, the dark blue sky was high and far away, the fragrance of flowers came from a distance, and the stars and the moon were picturesque.

Such beautiful scenery on a good day should be accompanied by wine and beauty to wish a good night together.

And such a beautiful night...

——Why do I have to run errands with this black charcoal head?

"Why should I go with you guy?"

Geez, you're still complaining.I ignored him, if it wasn't for the two children at home, why would I suffer this crime with him here?Before going out, he deliberately gave the waiter's clothes to Xiaolang, but unfortunately he was dragged out by Heitan before he had time to put it on, what a nuisance.

Waiters and waiters, I'm looking forward to it, but unfortunately I can only go back and watch it again.I thought helplessly, feeling a little bored.

"Is Master Hei still angry?"

"Need to say?!"

Really narrow-minded.I slandered, didn't I just go out and call you a big dog a few times, as for that.He walked ahead angrily without looking back.

"what!"

"What's wrong?"

How dare you ignore me?I reached out and poked his black face.It feels like there are fine stubble, but the texture is still soft.

Forget it, give a neutral review.

"Yeah! Turn back!"

"Stand still! I'll send you to another world right away!"

Ah, are you an idiot for standing still?His expression went from sulking to furious, almost juggling, and it was so funny.He was so angry that he drew his sword again. Just as I wanted to hide, I saw a black mist in front of me, and the blood-red lantern-like eyes projected a strange light.

"Well……"

Sure enough.

But the strange thing is that the black ninja, who has always had amazing intuition, didn't notice it.He thought I was lying to him again, and said he wouldn't fall for the same thing twice.I threw a few darts with my hands, he was startled and turned around.

"This time it's real."

Because the purpose of tonight is not to kill ghosts, and I am not a professional ghost hunter, it is inevitable to encounter trouble, so we found a route without ghosts before we set off, but the ghosts still came. Not small either.

Sure enough, there was a difference—Hei Gang and I looked at each other and stood with our backs.

"Ghosts," his arrogant and slightly smiling voice sounded, "it's too troublesome to go one by one, let's let the horses come here together."

……

This road is noisy and noisy, and we have been together for a long time, and the tacit understanding seems to be growing, so even if there are many ghosts and their strength is not low, I can still do things with ease by joining hands with him.

In fact, he and I are amazing with speed and strength, and the other is light and agile. They should be the two most different types, and their personalities are completely different, but we can unexpectedly cooperate with each other. This has already happened in Korea. Seeing the clues, and I think he was probably as surprised as I was.

Surprised by meeting opponents in chess, joyful because of being alone.

But today, unfortunately, I'm afraid I'm holding him back.

Although I am used to magic, my punching skills are not bad, even if I am not as good as Heigan, it will not be too bad.Today is different, not to mention the limited number of darts, but only those ghosts who have already been hit by darts.My darts were all aimed at the vital points, but those wounds healed quickly in the next moment.

Is it only the damage done by the ghost hunter?

"Hey! Don't dodge all the time! Help me fight!"

The Black Hunter fan shouted dissatisfied.While jumping and dodging leisurely, I said to him with a smile:

"The damage I caused will be healed immediately! So it's better to leave it to professionals," I landed on the roof, "right? Big dog~?"

"...the name you called out before is better than this one!"

Ah, is this the legendary shopping around?I thought about it seriously.

"Really? Then which one do you like?" I jumped over Gui'er's attack and looked at his almost distraught face, "Heitan? Heiling? HeiPP?"

"I don't like either!"

……

Just looking at the content, no one would have thought that this conversation took place on the battlefield, and he and I were surrounded by layers of ghosts, whose huge eyes shot out terrifying red light, and the attacks came wave after wave. It has not been slowed down, and the saying that death is always accompanied is not an exaggeration at all; but I can't get nervous, there is no fear in my chest, and it is almost unprecedentedly indifferent.

——I don’t know if I trust him too much, or I never care.

The number of ghosts was getting smaller and smaller, but the attack became more and more fierce. I dodged to avoid the ghosts' blow.

"Hurry up and fight back!"

"But, I don't have a decent weapon with me."

I explained to him, looking back at him, he chopped a ghost with his sword, and then yelled at me:

"Get down!"

……

Losing Jingzhou carelessly, not to mention the Shura field shrouded in the moment of death.I turned my head in response, and what I saw was a huge ball of light, which was full of red.At the moment of being hit, I was amused by my abnormal indifference.

Disappointment comes from hope, fear comes from fear of losing, but I'm not afraid at all, maybe because there's nothing left to lose.

I must not have the survival instinct of being a human being.

……

With my back against the cold stone pile, numbness and dull pain came faintly. I raised my head and let myself fall on the stone pile, hiding my expression with my bangs... There were many shadows in front of me, but I only saw that firm figure from the back. The long sword in the handle was like a rainbow, and the sword energy soared into the sky. It seemed that all the cruelty and sorrow in this world were also killed in that golden light.

Really like that, how good it should be.

After one move, he maintained the retracting movement, when the blade suddenly shattered.

"Is this move too heavy for this knife?"

He muttered to himself, and I looked at him silently for a long time.I didn't expect to be protected by him today, and he is such a strong person, he probably thinks I'm slowing down.

I returned to smiling, sat up slowly, and clapped my hands gently.

"As expected of Master Hei!"

He turned his head to look at me, but he didn't stare disdainfully or angrily as he imagined, he just frowned and looked deeply.I looked away and tried to move my body, but a sudden pain came from my left foot.

Oh, it seems to be twisted.

He walked over, frowning even more tightly, his eyes fixed on me, especially with a scrutiny, so that even I couldn't stand it.So I just had to say with a hippie smile:

"Don't worry, you won't die at this level."

His face darkened, and he suddenly pulled out the scabbard pinned to his waist, which was dark blue that I helped him choose.

"But I think, in fact, you want to die very much, but you can't die yet."

My whole body shook, and I subconsciously wanted to escape, but when it was too late, he put the scabbard against my injured ankle.The external stimulation made the pain clearer, but my brain froze for a moment. Then, the panic that I had never experienced before my life was hanging by a thread suddenly hit me, and my defenses that were about to be broken made it almost impossible for me to face him.

Do not say.

"I will kill those who come to kill me, and I will kill those who want to take away what I have decided to protect my life; until now, I don't remember how many people I have killed, and I don't intend to say anything Nice words, but, "

The cold scabbard touched my chin, forcing me to raise my head to face his complex gaze, and I had no choice but to hold up a smile.

"I hate people like you who want to die even though their lives are not exhausted."

The panic suddenly disappeared.

I hate it...it turns out...

That's right, it's no exaggeration for someone like me to be hated by anyone.

So, I can only smile more.

"So," I smiled at him, "I'm the type you hate the most."

He looked down at me and I responded with the perfect smile.I have never seen him so serious, and I never thought that the first time I saw him was when he said he hated me.

You must be serious, Black Steel.

——Because I really deserve to be hated.

I met his eyes, and the atmosphere was so deadlocked.

"Hey, don't fight in front of the store!"

……

The timely appearance of the bartender undoubtedly saved the scene. Hei Gang took off the scabbard and his face was still gloomy. I apologized to her and explained our reason for coming. Unexpectedly...

"It's our home."

Hei Gang and I both took a second, then took out a business card from our pockets and looked at the signboard at the door of the store...

It really is the same...

……

The consequence of being illiterate is embarrassing, but the bartender didn't care too much. Maybe it's because tourists often come to this country, so there must be a lot of illiterate people.

Regardless of whether the process was tortuous or not, I finally found a place.He snorted coldly and walked into the store, even the tactful bartender was startled. Seeing me sitting motionless among a pile of waste bricks, he hurried over to ask, but it was useless for me to ask the bartender Mixed into the door.

It seems that he really hates it.

The bar was full of people, the hall was almost full, and there was a gentle prelude everywhere. Someone was standing on the stage, probably preparing to sing a song, and I sat down at the bar with him.Hei Gang never talked when I was around, but today he witnessed "the most hated me", his face was extraordinarily dark.The lady bartender gave me a bag of ice cubes to wrap my ankles, and chatted with her about what happened just now.

"What a disaster."

"Well, it's okay," I thanked the bartender, "thank you for the ice."

"You're welcome," she mixed the wine, "However, ghosts above rank B can only be defeated with special weapons for ghost hunters."

I just understood.

"Oh, no wonder I can't use darts," I exclaimed, "So, the bartender that Eri, the informant, refers to you?"

"Ok?"

"Miss bartender, we want to meet someone who has seen a new species of ghost."

"That's it, then you have to wait for a while," she gestured with her hand, "We have to wait until the song is over."

We looked in the direction she indicated, and there was a tall woman in black standing on the stage.Her facial features are exquisite, and her long curly hair spreads out naturally. In the gentle melody, she nods her head and lowers her eyebrows, singing softly:

i want happiness

want to share happiness with you

want to be your happiness

so take me away

take me away

Go somewhere other than here

Take me away

i want happiness

……

"What a beautiful song..."

Today, I seem to be very emotional. I don’t know if it’s because he pokes at the heart, or the wine here is too strong, but I’m so fascinated by listening to a song.

Happiness.

What a beautiful and unattainable word.

but……

"If there is a place you want to go, just go by yourself, why ask others?"

It was the answer of the black ninja as soon as he heard it.

"If it was Heitan, he would definitely do this, right?" I smiled at him habitually, and the words in my mouth seemed to be no longer controlled by my brain.

"But I've been waiting...waiting for someone to take me away."

take me away.

Even a dream is fine.

happy...dream...

……

I don't know why I said such things to him. I knew he wouldn't like it, but I still said it like a ghost.

He frowned and looked at me.

"Ah, I will be hated by you again for saying such things."

He looked at me deeply, then took a sharp gulp of his drink.The song also ended at this time, so he said to the bartender lady:

"It's over, can we ask about ghosts?"

"Brother, you are really in a hurry," the bartender lady said helplessly, "Zhiye! This way."

……

"What a beautiful song."

She thanked him politely and sat down gracefully.Her facial features are as delicate as seen from a distance, she is indeed a rare beauty.

"Have you been singing here all this time?"

"Well, because this is my shop," he said generously, "Would you like to treat me? Then I'll tell you about the ghost I met."

"Okay."

I looked back at Hei Gang, the latter was so focused on the wine, he asked the bartender for a drink just after drinking a glass, and he didn't even pay any attention to him here.

This alcoholic...hadn't noticed it before.

……

So, it turned out that I was alone inquiring about information, but he was drinking there by himself, and didn't mention anything except the exchange of wine, making it seem like we had nothing to do with each other, and he also came to drink specially.

After inquiring about the news, I absent-mindedly chatted with Zhiye for a few more words, and soon she left because of something to do; by then, the night was getting late, and many customers in the hotel had already left, after all, the night in this country is still not good. too safe.

Indeed, any later would be less safe.

"Got to go?"

The bartender saw that it was inconvenient for me, and she was not busy, so she enthusiastically sent me out, turned around and went back when I reached the door, and told me not to touch the ground when my foot was injured, so she said to Heigang:

"You should be together, right? If you quarrel, wait until later, let's send the person back safely first."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went back lightly and gracefully, leaving the two of us staring at each other.

I can't help laughing.At first glance, Hei Gang is the kind of person who can clearly distinguish between love and hate. It is a good thing that the guy he hates is not dead, so can he be counted on for help?What's more, with his height, how to mix with me is also a problem.After applying ice to the injured area, it finally healed. Although it is still difficult to walk back, it should be almost the same with hard work.

I gave him a ok smile and tried to land on both feet.

"do not move."

I look up at him.

He still looked at me with a complicated expression, but it seemed to be more complicated than before he entered the store, and his two sword eyebrows were about to be twisted into a ball.I suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't figure out what he was thinking, which was really rare in my long life.

Actually... can't see through him.

He stared at me for a long time, his expression couldn't tell whether he was angry or not, his eyes couldn't tell whether he was disgusted or not, he seemed to be a little conflicted, as if he saw something terrible, I couldn't help touching my face.

Could it be that something suddenly grew on this face?

When I was wandering, he suddenly sighed in a low voice and handed me a bag of wine he just bought.

"Take it."

I take it obediently.

He squatted down.

……

Ju, actually use it?

"do not move."

The big hands pressed my waist, the warmth of the palms did not diminish even through the material of the clothes.I don't know if it was because I drank some wine, but I felt hot all over, and even my face was burning faintly.

This unscientific.

Age is not counted for the time being, since they are all big men, why should I be ashamed?But the heat from his palm continued to come, which made me regret why I didn't put on the coat; the force was neither light nor heavy, which ensured that I would not fall off, and would not really hurt me.

Is this his tenderness?

No, I shake my head, it's just because of traveling together.He hates me, but if there is a real quarrel, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the children to explain.

—Yes, I still have some use for it.

The spring night breeze is slightly cool, blowing on the face that is slightly hot due to the effect of alcohol, bringing a burst of coolness, which makes people very comfortable; and the two of us were silent all the way, I think this time, I am afraid it is true To be hated by him.

……

"We're back!"

The children were frightened by our appearance, and I wanted to explain, but the hand that was pressing on my waist was loosened suddenly, causing me to fall forward gorgeously.Fortunately, the little wolf has quick eyes and quick hands, and ran over to pick me up in time. I took advantage of the momentum and rolled into a ball with the little wolf, and finally escaped from danger.Sakura and Mokona also ran over to inquire.

Look, the baby is still caring.

The uncaring adult was talking excitedly to a strange woman.The woman's complexion was dark and she was wearing a slim cheongsam. Hei Gang couldn't help but froze in place when he asked him such a slap in the face.I heard him mention "Princess Zhishi" between his words, and I remember that was the name of the princess he served.

Oh, it turned out that I met an acquaintance, so it's normal to throw away the annoying person.

It's a pity that the woman named "Sumo" didn't know him, and explained to him apologetically that they were just people with the same soul in different worlds.Hei Gang was definitely disappointed, he looked devastated, so he had to apologize to others and then sat on the side sullenly.

It is estimated that he will be even more angry. He is already angry with me.

……

After clearing up the misunderstanding and sending the guests away, Xiaolang took the initiative to apply the medicine for me, and then bandaged my ankle.I looked at Xiaolang dressed as a waiter and Sakura dressed as a maid, and the pictures were quite pleasing to the eye.

"You have worked hard looking at the shop."

The handsome waiter smiled and didn't speak, but he was obviously very happy. It seems that my decision to keep the two of them on purpose was correct.The beautiful maid was also very happy, and said with a smile while arranging the tableware:

"Miss Somo is probably exactly the same as Miss Somo in Mr. Heigang's country, right?"

"Hei Gang was so scared that even Fay was thrown down!"

"Noisy!!!"

……

Sakura always grasped the key points mysteriously, coupled with Mokona's excited support, Heigan, who was already sulking, couldn't help becoming angry, and then got into trouble with Mokona again, but what I thought of was another thing .

Hanshin country met the king and priest of Jiulou, and just met an acquaintance of Kurogang in Japan.These coincidences make people can't help but sigh that this is really a world of all kinds, just like what the witch of the dimension said "Although they look the same, they are different" people... If this is the case, you may also meet people in the previous world in the future People I've seen...

So if one day, I see...

I dare not say that it will be more indifferent than Heigang.

"It's bandaged."

Processed.I have to say that Xiaolang's bandaging skills are quite good, almost professional.I tried moving it, and it worked fine.I thank Xiaolang, he said you are welcome, and asked about the bar by the way, and I just remembered the mention of the bar.

"I have a gift here!" I brought the bag over excitedly, "Let's talk while drinking!"

The seldom-experienced drunkenness hit me, like a spell cast on me. This was an unusual thing, but I didn't want to pay attention to it.

If you can really get drunk, it is much better than sober.

The three children were very happy, which made me happy too, laughing and chatting while drinking, getting more and more crazy.The degree of wine is not low, and I also became drunk as expected.Anyway, I let myself get drunk, so I let myself have fun with the children, let myself play wildly, laugh heartily, and forgot where I was.

The heavy fate made me unable to breathe. He and I, who were dubbed "should not exist" at birth, lived strong for each other, laughed at each other, cried at each other, but in the end there was only one me left... and I've survived on that false hope, and that's the only reason I can't die.

However, even that hope was almost dashed.

——The dead cannot be brought back to life.

Is the debt I owe him, the crime I have committed, the misfortune I have caused, forever irreparable?And the longing for someone to take me away is probably the last bit of hope left in my heart.

Imagine the future that maybe there will be.

……

Sakura and I meowed like our names. I saw the girl's innocent smiling face, and for a moment I felt like I had really turned into a cat.

Meowing like a cat, playing like a cat, carefree like a cat, being held tenderly like a cat...

A heavy heartbeat came from my strong chest, my head rested on my broad shoulders, and my long arms supported me firmly.He sighed in my ear, his low voice seemed to reveal some disgust, but his movements were very light, the palms touching the joints did not cause any pain; the body was moving, but the hug was extremely stable... the feeling of careful care, It's like being in a loving cradle.What a luxury this is for someone like me who has never felt true love since I was in the cradle.

So, the moment my body was placed on the soft bed and left the chest, I subconsciously tightened his skirt.

--do not go……

—Stay by my side until one day, take me away.

The hand that hadn't been removed paused for a moment, as if hesitating, even my heart was disturbed, the nails pricked my palms, and I thought I couldn't hold on any longer.

And just when I was almost desperate, the chest that had never been far away pressed against me again, the bed beside me sank, and the strong arms wrapped me even tighter.The long-lost hug reminded me of my fellow brother, something I have seldom felt since he was gone.

In the gentle night, the low sigh was heard clearly, but I didn't feel him, and the hand that had been clenched tightly could gradually be loosened a little bit.

But until the end, that embrace never left.

……

So, when I opened my eyes the next morning, I realized that...

last night……

things...

I actually...

--No!remember!have to!up!
