gentle and affectionate

' of it?Could it be that in Master Hei's eyes, I'm the kind of person who doesn't believe what he says? "

"You don't have a few truths out of your mouth." But his tone was much more reassuring.

"Master Hei is too much, he was clearly confessing to Master Hei just now, Master Hei not only yelled at him but also thought he was old, blah blah..."

As I said that, I pretended to cry, and sure enough, I saw his expression of resignation and compromise.

"So going out these days is the price?"

"Well...not all for that," I blinked, "after all, my magic is very useful."

He withdrew his hand propped on the wall, bowed his head in silence, looking a little weak.

"Is it really something you can't tell me?"

"..."

He looked at me very disappointed, then turned to leave, but I hugged him from behind.

In fact, I decided to tell him a long time ago, so I told Xiao Lang that I could tell Hei Gang; but when it really came to this time, I still hesitated for a long time.

I wrapped my arms around his waist and called his name softly.

"Black steel."

His body trembled very slightly.

"……what."

"You said, when does a person really die?"

"... when no one remembers." He answered me sullenly.

"In that case, you must live a long, long life,"

I take a deep breath.

"...I will definitely live as long as my original lifespan."

"you……"

"But I don't want you to pick such a big deal for nothing, so I made a deal with Mr. April [-]st, at the cost of helping him run errands and repairing the world, to speed up the time of my body... reduce hundreds of years to Decades."

I gradually tightened my arms.

"I will become an old man one day, and Master Hei will always protect me."

If one day, those people and things you are familiar with are gone, and you find that you have lost contact with the world, will the meaning of life still exist?

Even if a new fate will be formed, it will be lost again in the end-it will be repeated constantly, just like forgetting to drink Meng Po soup every time you cross the bridge, and go through life again and again, only memories will accumulate forever, and there will be The day was overwhelming.

I'm not that strong, because just thinking that one day I will lose the black steel, I can't imagine whether there is a future after that.

A 100-year life is too short for me, and the difference in the speed of time is unacceptable.

——Finally freed from original sin, I want to live happily for the first time.I want to have the same time as him, I want to live an ordinary life with him, I want to grow old with him, and no matter who leaves first, I can say with a smile:

Don't worry, I'll go ahead and wait for you.

I don't want him to wait too long, and I don't want to be alone watching my beloved people leave again and again... I have been seeing off for the first half of my life, so I only want to be willful this time, which shouldn't be considered a contemptuous life.

I want to take this step bravely, after all he has taken 99 steps towards me.

"You bastard... I really can't do anything about you."

He let go of my arm, turned around, reached out and wiped the tears from my face, and hugged me tightly in his arms.

……

"If there is anything to hide, I will kill you."

"Nonsense, Mr. Hei is reluctant to kill me."

"..."

Heigan looked at me strangely.He has a cold face and a warm heart. Now that I heard that I shortened my life for him, I am not sure what kind of guilt and emotion I will feel. But I counted his traits and suddenly wanted to bully him.

"Master Hei is obviously reluctant."

"..."

I thought I had won all over the place.

"However..." His thoughtful eyes made my hair stand on end, "There is a way to be willing."

……

As a result, the next day, a piece of gossip began to circulate among the soldiers of Jiulou Kingdom: the big man in black who came back with the princess brought back a thin man in white from outside in the evening after a few days of waking up— ——That’s right, it was carried—it is said that because of the sudden situation and the big man walking too fast, the guards on duty on both sides froze collectively, and when they reacted, the two of them had completely disappeared.

Some people say that the man came back with the princess, and he was an acquainted lover with the big man; but others said that the man was just an innocent foreigner who came to travel, but was forcibly kidnapped by the black man, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Well-meaning people contact rescue.

While there were different opinions outside, the innocent foreigner was sitting on the bed with a sore body, picked up the pillow and beat up a big black man who didn't know how to control himself; Come on, it's weird no matter how you look at it.

A few days later, I took Heigan to the observatory and listened to the base of the wall, just in time for the exciting confession scene of the two children. It seems that this wave of magic was well used, if not for the concealment of the breath and voice, the keen The little wolf must have noticed it early, wouldn't it be a crime to interrupt them like that?

It is rare for a ninja to join forces with me, but when he saw the blushing faces of the children, he turned his back on him, confessed in one sentence that the culprit was me, forced the blame onto me, and caused a quarrel; and thought he had solved the little wolf Surrounded by Sakura and Sakura, very proud.I was too lazy to talk to him because of my back pain, so I let him go, thinking that this guy is getting more and more interested in the role of father.

The main body Xiaolang was born by a copy of him and Sakura - this was originally impossible, but it happened in the wrong world; and now the world has returned to its original track, but he and April [-]st Still exist, so they become people who don't belong to any world and have to make a choice.

On April [-], Junxun chose to wait in the store for the original owner of the store, while Little Wolf chose to continue traveling in the world until he finally found a place to stay; but I think they both have their own belongings , such as - belonging where their loved ones are.

The Jiulou Country where Sakura is located, and the city where the people who love April [-]st are located.

Home is where the family is. Even if you live like a flutter, if you are with your loved one, you probably won't feel lonely.

And before departure, what Sakura and Xiaolang said made things turn around again:

"I can feel that he's still there, in my heart, and I want to see him again."

——They did not disappear, and the memories of the two people who left were also cherished by them. Maybe one day they would be returned, and the four of them could finally live a happy life together.

It may be far away, but even if there is a glimmer of hope, we will not give up.

Xiao Sakura gave up walking with us because she predicted that there would be disasters in the future, and because she didn't want to hurt us, she chose to wait and guard in the distant Jiulou Kingdom; while Heigang and I decided to embark on a journey with the boy and accompany him through the journey. Difficulties in the future... This is also a decision made by Hei Gang and I after careful consideration. When Hei Gang used Mokola to ask Zhishi for leave that day, he was teased for a long time.

"Hei Gang has really become a good father now."

Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing, and Zhishi and I quickly reached a consensus, and I was about to agree with her, but I didn't expect her to have another sentence:

"And it really is like a wife and slave like the lord back then."

……

On the day we set off, the sky was clear, the sun was shining brightly, and the whole body was wrapped in warmth.

On this day, Sakura and her parents dressed up to see us off.The girl probably cried the night before, and her eyes were a little red and swollen. However, after experiencing life and death, even though she was only 14 years old, she had to gradually mature through tempering, showing a noble atmosphere that did not match her age. In our eyes, we don't know whether to be proud or distressed.

The so-called growth is probably like this, a hard but precious gift in life.

Mokona wears the earrings that belonged to the black Mokona. There are many memories of people stored in it. They will guide us back here, to every place we have been, and then see us again. familiar people.

——The fate that has been formed will not be broken easily.

Parting is painful, but it also makes people have to look forward to every goodbye.

And finally, in the familiar magic circle, under the dazzling light, and in the strong wind brought by magic—just like the first time they set off, he and her held each other's hands, like the sacred exchange of rings. In that way, each other's real names were exchanged.

The end of the story is a new journey.

"Hey, I said Master Hei."

"Ok?"

"The existence of 'wings' has been in pairs since ancient times, right?"

"……certainly."

Because they really love each other and care about each other, no matter how far apart they are, they will go through the vast sea of ​​people to reach each other's side, and then, hug each other and fly into the sky, together they can see all kinds of scenery in this world and taste all the flavors of life.

I think they are the ones I hold dear.
