gentle and affectionate

Chapter 5.

In the rain, I stood with him on the adjacent stone pillar.The tide of bone erosion is surging, once it is swallowed, there will be no bones left.The burning pain on my face reminded me that this was not a dream, but I couldn't get nervous at all.Maybe it's because I've lived for too long, maybe it's because I've been numb, and the indifference of approaching death makes me almost not sure if I'm still alive.

But his desire to live is so firm that I envy him, because there is his hometown, where he has everything he is familiar with and people waiting for him, but I don't have it.

Would it be a relief if he died like this?

But... I'm not alone here.

"Hello." He called me.

I get it.

Then let's live like this for now.

……

I can't use magic, and he doesn't have a decent weapon. The long pole in his hand can only be used for close attacks, but the pavilion where the secret monster is standing is too far away from us. If we attack directly, once the secret monster makes a move, it is inevitable. The possibility of success is almost non-existent, so... I exchanged a look with him.

So resourceful, I actually thought of it with me.

However, he is such a competitive person, if this last blow is not left to him, he will inevitably blame me afterwards.I nodded to him, and then jumped in the direction of the secret monster. The icy rain hit my body, leaving slight pain and burning. The interweaving of cold and hot is really satisfying.When I fell, I waved my long pole as if, bowed my head and gave the secret monster a perfect smile.

"Are you anxious to die, little baby?"

Immediately, the expected pressure came from the shoulder, which was actually lighter than expected, as if the pressure was deliberately lightened.The tall and brave ninja took advantage of his strength to jump up again, and with a wave of his long arm, the light pole that was broken off was as sharp as a sword.

However, the secret monster's long claws pierced his chest.

I settled down firmly at the same time.

But he burst into an arrogant smile, and smashed the fluorite on her forehead with one blow.

The monstrous waves stopped in front of my eyes, less than a foot away.

Enchantment, retreat.

……

He's handsome, isn't he, playing the boss regardless of serious injuries?

However, look at the claws of the secret monster——

What?Why is Black Steel not dead?

The secret demon turned pale, and pulled out the claws that pierced his chest, and brought out a thick...comic book from his arms, with a beautiful woman drawn on the cover.

Why didn't even scratch the bloodshot, what the hell?

……

This, this can still be like this?It is indeed risky to attack the secret monster at close range, deliberately exposing the weakness to attract the enemy to attack, and then killing the enemy with one blow, although it is a bit playful, but there is nothing wrong with rational use of resources, this is indeed the most beneficial way, but I can't think of it anyway He would do it this way. (Black: Admit it? Law: Go!)

No, you commented, if you were me, can you imagine a long-term aloof and uncommunicative iceberg man with a manga in his pocket as a shield?The impact is comparable to Pikachu pole dancing in a bikini. The mix and match makes people want to poke their eyes blind!

Old pervert, how could you carry such things as shoujo manga with you? !It's shameless.

In the end, there were even more shameless things to come. Don't look at the fierce look on the old pervert's face, his luck is really not ordinary.Only then did an atlas of beauties drop, and there were live beauties throwing themselves into their arms, giving them hugs and kisses.

Tut tut, don't look at evil.

But I think I've already seen it anyway, so it doesn't matter if I read the whole thing.The beauty's sweet kiss came so suddenly that even the battle-tested old pervert was stunned for a moment. Unfortunately, the latter didn't appreciate it, and even asked the beauty what was going on. He didn't even blush, which is really thick-skinned.

The secret demon said that it was to thank us, because we smashed the fluorite on her forehead, which made her free again, but I don't understand why he only kissed him when he thanked us?I was the first to discover the trickiness of that gem.

……

Well, once she is old, even if she is beautiful, if I really want to kiss her, I am not really interested.The two of us ruthlessly abandoned half of the light pole that saved our lives, and took a breath, seeing each other's tattered clothes and reddened faces, no matter how we looked at them, we were in a mess.

Hei Gang's clothes had been burned into short sleeves, revealing his strong arms, and with that pole, I immediately thought of the leader of the beggar gang.

"what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Of course he couldn't tell him this, "Hei Lun was really handsome just now, even the secret demon was fascinated by you."

……

The handsome Hei Lun ignored me until he found Xiaolang.Finally, they came to the place where the lord was. Many people gathered here, besieging the little wolf, and Sakura and Chunxiang came here at some unknown time.But those people with sticks didn't attack the little wolf, they all looked blank.

Hei Gang and I looked at each other, probably the lord used the same technique as controlling the secret demon.

Mokona complained that we came too late, I apologized to it, the little guy seemed to be frightened.I took a closer look at the little wolf, there seemed to be bruises on his cheeks, and he also suffered a lot of injuries, he must have gone through a hard fight just now.

But no matter what, the victory has been decided, the lord's son has been beaten by the little wolf, the secret demon has been liberated by me and Heigang, and everyone has recovered their consciousness. The lord has nothing to rely on, so he can only sit on the ground and beg for mercy, humble and ugly.

"Use this feather...maybe we can revive Chunxiang's mother! If you kill me, I won't be able to do it!" The lord pleaded with the little wolf, "As long as you use this powerful force, her mother will definitely be able to..."

"My mother was killed by you!" Chunxiang suddenly said, everyone was startled, Sakura was dizzy, but she seemed kind-hearted, and went to comfort her almost instinctively.

He is also a good boy.

Chunxiang reacted greatly.

"And my mother said... the lost life cannot be returned!"

"Even if I want to see her again...it's impossible! Do you know?!"

……

I was stunned for a moment.

Can't come back... are you coming?

Lost lives can never come back, even if only once, it is no longer possible.

In that case, Fay...

Then I...the reason for living...

Chunxiang's cries kept echoing in her ears, and the foreground gradually blurred, turning into a blank, snow-white, and bright red blood...

don't want……

……

"Hey."

It's this voice again.

Back to reality, I subconsciously turned my head to look.The tall and muscular man was in tattered clothes, revealing his thick arms.He stood there leaning against the wall with his chest folded, his resolute facial features cut like a knife, his sword eyebrows slightly frowned, and his dark red phoenix eyes stared at me deeply.

My heart trembled.

not good.

Don't let him find out.

Dazed only for a moment.With a slight blink, my eyes immediately returned to focus, and I drew a perfect smile.

"What's wrong?"

"……Humph."

He looked very dissatisfied.

I thought the topic would end like this, but he suddenly spoke, but his eyes were still looking forward.

"You handed over your staff just like that?"

"Well," although I don't know why he suddenly asked this, I still happily replied, "Heizhi must think I'm too hasty." You are such a treasure of your sword.

"..."

"Besides, the tattoo has been given anyway, so I can't use magic anymore."

"The witch said that tattoo wasn't yours."

Thinking about it, I feel depressed. Miss Witch actually harmed me and told everyone that I still have magic power. It would be nothing if they knew about it, but there is such a black ninja boss It's the attention to these details that makes people unbearable.

Vigorous force plus that skill is enough, and the sense is so keen, is he going against the sky?

"Well, how should I put it..."

"Is it because of that person?"

Before I could make up a reason, he said to himself, I looked at him.

He didn't look at me anymore.On the little wolf's side, the secret demon appeared and dragged away the city lord, and the controlled people were also liberated. Sakura got the feather, and everyone was happy.The reason for my ecstasy just now seems to have been diluted in this way. Before I could figure everything out, the ninja suddenly pulled my sleeve and pulled me to open the door to let everyone out.We were waiting for Xiaolang and Sakura in the crowd, and a man who was half a head taller than me suddenly lowered his head and whispered in my ear:

"If you don't want to save yourself, you owe me."

I was taken aback for a moment, and then realized what he was talking about, but the latter had already followed the Dabo people out, leaving only a back.

"Hey you……"

Without even looking back, he only raised the scarred hand in an extremely vile manner.

=================================================================== =========================

"The fog is thickening."

"It's so dark."

"We have traveled so far, but we haven't met a single person, not even a private house."

"It's terrible, it's terrible..."

"Don't worry, I'm by your side."

"Well, Hei Gang is so happy~~!"

……

"Who is Black Steel——!!!"

It finally exploded.I saw a dark wall in front of me... No, a black creature roared, and at the same time, a mass of white and fluffy stuff suddenly sprang out from his neckline. Those who didn't know it thought that this man was spitting out cotton.

"Heigan is angry—"

"Don't do such a disgusting thing!"

Mokona fled to my head in a hurry, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he continued the dubbing game just now, and I happily hugged the little guy and held it in the palm of my hand.

"Mokona imitates the voice really well, it looks just like Heimu!"

"This is one of Mokona's 108 tricks!"

"Then what are the other 107 tricks?"

The little guy stood up straight in my hands solemnly.

"No ~ can ~ say—"

"Yeah, Mokona really tantalizes people~"

Heigan was completely ignored, and could only watch us one man and one beast playing and rubbing back and forth, our straight sword eyebrows twitching almost invisibly.I thought he deserved it, who told him that I owed him?Who owes him?If I hadn't helped cover the last blow, would he have been able to hit the secret demon?Also smashed the fluorite?And kissed...

Hmph, let's not talk about him, anyway, he is a narrow-minded man.

The narrow-minded man looked at us for a while, then turned around with a look of disgust.

"Go and play for the rest of your life!"

Before he finished speaking, he actually strode away with long legs, and ran away in big strides—hey?This guy!

"Hey! Heitan! Wait for me—"

I also chased after him, but he didn't look back, but he didn't speed up either.The two young people ran wildly like children, plus a mokona to cheer.

But...it's been a long time since I ran like this.

Just as the kindergarten duo was running vigorously, there was a loud noise from where they set off!We both stopped abruptly, and ran to where we started at the same time.

……

When we rushed back, we saw Sakura lying on the shore, which shocked Mokona.We hurried over, only to find that we were just asleep, so we breathed a sigh of relief.

This child.

It's not long since he woke up, and his mind is sometimes blurred, but he works hard unexpectedly in a daze.When I was in Koryo, I had been trying to stay with Xiao Chunxiang, and I was very excited when I arrived in this new world, so I planned to find out the whereabouts of the feathers, but I fell asleep before I even finished talking. Fortunately, Heigang kindly helped her It took a handful to not fall.

But at this moment, she didn't know what happened, she fell down by the lake.I pressed my hand to her face, which was a little cold, and looked up at Heigang. He reluctantly picked up the princess and walked to the fire, while I covered her again with the folded cloak next to her.

Mokona guarded Sakura, and Heigan and I sat by the fire and chatted.

"Has she woke up?"

After running so suddenly for so long, I was really tired and my breathing was not steady yet, but the monster on the opposite side didn't breathe a few breaths, so I despised him in my heart, and replied normally:

"Well, probably, I just folded my coat and put it on the side."

"In the end what happened?"

"I don't know..." I shrugged, "But what about the little wolf?"

"It's probably still in the water."

"Oh, it's such a cold day, this child is really real."

"...What do you think?" He added a stick of firewood, "They."

"Wow, Black Phosphorus really cares about the kids."

"..."

He glared at me, then concentrated on turning the fire with the stick.In fact, I didn't intend to make him angry at all, I just didn't think of saying something for a while, but it was Bai Zhan who saw the angry Heitan head.I looked at Sakura who was sleeping soundly, her body was warmed up after being roasted for a while, her face was flushed, her mouth was still slightly open, she fell asleep panting, she was so cute; return.

"I think... Sakura's soul is very kind."

"soul?"

"Haven't we already met people in different worlds who have the same appearance but different personalities?" I also took a wooden stick and set fire to it. "Miss Witch said that they are people with the same essence. If you use your words, It should be the same soul."

Moreover, even if she no longer remembers the little wolf, she will be touched when she sees him working so hard—such a kind child.

Even if she is...but her heart will be the same.

I was silent with him.Before he had time to say anything else, there was a sound of water from the lake, and it turned out that it was the little wolf who had returned.Mokona, who had been guarding Sakura, jumped over excitedly, looking flustered.

"Little Wolf—Sakura, Sakura, she—"

Unable to figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Mo Ke Na's gourd, Hei Gang was also a little confused, and subconsciously took another look at Sakura.

Why?It's alright.

Although the little wolf was drenched in water when he first climbed up, he looked happy anyway, but Mo Kena was so frightened, it was really chilling from the inside out.In an instant, he stood up from the ground and rushed towards this direction——

"Sakura, she...!"

"Slept soundly~!"

……

The little wolf was shot and unfortunately fell to the ground.

The mischievous Mokona praised his acting skills, happily jumped on the little wolf's head, and received a stare from Heigang.Xiaolang sat on the ground with lingering fear, completely ignoring himself who was drenched, but focused on looking at Sakura, tender and affectionate, as if the person in front of him was the whole world.

I looked up and stared at Heigan.

—Look, he is such a child.

And it is this affection that allows this child to be brave enough to be fearless.

My heart swelled slightly, and I suddenly wanted to say something to him.

"It seems that you are really frightened." I turned my head to look at him, his face was a little pale from the cold and fright.

"However, I think this kind of thing will happen often in the future." He was a little puzzled, "It is common for Sakura to fall asleep suddenly, and maybe there will be a bigger crisis in the future, because we are looking for Sakura's memory." Danger and misfortune will always follow, as long as you are alive in this world.

"In that case, let's move forward with a relaxed mood."

Although I'm not qualified to say that as I'm escaping, but... No matter what, I want to let this boy relax a little bit, just a little bit.

—in so many real days.

And as for those...

"Those sad things, you don't need to keep thinking about them."

"Because even if you want to forget...you can't forget it."

Can't forget, can't escape.Even if you try your best, you can't escape the entanglement of fate.The past is like a web of thousands of threads, binding you from head to toe, and you can never get out; despair is like a cold swamp.

— But, that's just for me.

"I won't blame you because you laugh and you are happy, little wolf. On the contrary, someone will feel happy."

I smiled and said to him, I suddenly remembered that one afternoon many years ago, Wang gently stroked my hair and taught me how to laugh; now, I am teaching the child in front of me.

The little wolf seemed to be lost in memory, his face was gentle, and his complexion improved a lot, probably because he thought of Sakura, Xiao Mo Ke jumped over to coax him.

"If the little wolf smiles, Mokona will be very happy~"

"Me too," I patted his shoulder, "ah, Hei Bao too?"

"Don't drag me into this!"

He looked away angrily, with a look of "it has nothing to do with me".It's a pity that the truth is still exposed by the details, and the twisted tone completely betrayed him. The whole person was so arrogant that even Xiaolang laughed easily.

At this moment, Sakura woke up.

"Um……"

"you're awake?"

Sakura rubbed her sleepy eyes, her brain obviously hadn't started to work, she seemed to be about to fall asleep, but she stood up unexpectedly, shouting while rushing to the lake.

"Mr. Wolf! Mr. Wolf is still in the lake!"

"I'm here—"

The little wolf quickly pulled her back, which prevented the two of them from turning into water ducks again.When Xiao Ying saw that the little wolf had returned, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, just like the little wolf who was worried about her just now.

Since I just said it, it doesn't matter if I say something more.

"I have something to tell you, Sakura," although I felt a bit nagging, "I don't know what kind of journey will be in the future, although I know you are upset because of incomplete memory, but take this as It was a happy trip."

"Besides, isn't it rare for us to get together like this?"

Sakura was stunned, and then burst into a sweet smile, like a blooming flower.

"Ok!"

"Although I still have a lot of things that I don't understand, and I have caused a lot of trouble for everyone," she said in a ladylike manner, "However, I will try my best to do what I can, please take care of me!"

Seeing her smile, Little Wolf finally smiled with peace of mind.I looked at Heigan, and there was a gleam of tenderness in those Danfeng eyes, and the background was unshakable firmness.

In fact, I also want to thank you, even if it is only a short encounter, it is fate, so that I can temporarily have a companion on this journey; such a relaxed and happy, it is considered a luxury.

——For me, who has no future.
