good brother

"……Well……"

Angel slowly opened his eyes, rubbed his head with some headaches, and his chaotic consciousness slowly recovered.

"……I……"

The memory slowly came to life, and then Angel woke up suddenly, sat up straight, rubbed his head and pulled out a few hairs.

He lowered his eyes in a daze, looking at the few black hairs lying quietly in his palm.

"it hurts……"

Whether it's head or heart, it hurts.

It hurts...so bleeding...

Clear, salty, blood from the eyes.

Slowly raising his head and looking around, he saw an unbelievably strange "home".

Mu Qiu's home.

Not Angel's home.

Angor couldn't go home anymore.

Angel died, and the one who survived was named Mu Qiu.

Mu Qiu... Mu Qiu...

Looking at the display screen in front of him in a daze, a strange face was reflected on the black screen.

No silver eyes, no beautiful long hair, no neutral face.

"who are you?"

He didn't know whether he was asking the reflected figure or himself, he was even more at a loss, and he didn't even know what his name should be now.

Then, he suddenly thought of something, a glimmer of hope lit up in his eyes, he reached out and shook the mouse, waking up this strange machine.

Then, the picture that appeared completely shattered his last fantasy.

"Heh...hahahaha..."

He raised his head, covered his face with his hands to block the glaring light, laughed a little maniacally, and the tears of laughter wet his palms.

"……what is this……"

On the screen in front of her was her previous life...ah, no...the obsession of her previous life.

Ace's death.

"Then... what are those 20 years..."

He lowered his arms and looked at the white ceiling with red eyes.

"A dream I've had for 20 years? Or... now is the dream..."

Butterfly dreams of Zhuang Zhou, Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterfly.

"Who the hell am I..."

Angel... Mu Qiu... which one is the real me?

How am I going to live next...

"Knock knock."

"Xiaoqiu, auntie eats dumplings for lunch today, do you want to come and eat together?"

A friendly voice came from the door, Angel...ah, no, Mu Qiu reacted for a while before realizing that this was a landlady who took good care of him.

"Sorry, Auntie, I still have something to do right now."

"Really, then Auntie won't bother you."

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and Mu Qiu was stunned for a moment, before he slumped down on the computer desk.

"Next... what should I do..."

It is estimated that I will not be able to go on in high school, and what I brought back from the world of pirates is fighting skills...

really……

"Go and join the army..."

This time, start with an out-and-out creep.

Knowing what will happen after death, Mu Qiu is no longer afraid of death, and even has an inexplicable expectation for death.

In those countless reincarnations, we will definitely meet again, Ace.

Even if we have long forgotten each other, even if we have become beyond recognition.

However, this bond will never disappear.

Mu Qiu slowly raised his hand, as if toasting to the sky.

"Because...we are brothers."

Bro...?

Suddenly, the last scene before Angel's death appeared in front of his eyes.

It was a pair of eyes that were so desperate that they couldn't see a ray of light.

『Angel, I have someone I like.』』

Thinking of Ace's various abnormal reactions, Mu Qiu showed a smile uglier than crying.

"Fool……"

Whether it's him or Ace...

Why... didn't I find out sooner...

Why... didn't I ask a question...

Ace right now... how painful it is...

Like me now?

No, it must be a thousand times more painful than mine.

But, Ace, be strong.

"I love you too."

Always, life after life, I love you deeply.

When we meet again next time, don't hesitate. When we meet next time, I will first extend my hands.

and so……

"Goodbye, Ace."

I look forward to and believe in that day.
