Kneeling and begging to live past the age of 18

Mori Ogai suddenly realized something.

Since when can I not lie to her anymore?

Is it because she knows everything about her, or because the other party has always seen her darkness clearly, so she knows that even if she doesn't try to coax, she will do it for herself.

So, everything became like this, something that can be put on the table and talked about freely.

Even if it is about the gains and losses of interests.

Even about dark thoughts.

Even if it's about hurting her.

Even at this moment, what can be exchanged for the unknown ability and [Unnamed Love Letter] based on the premise of loss.

Obviously this is my favorite child, isn't it?

With a wry smile on the corner of his lips, Mori Ogai suppressed all the things in his heart and mocked.

I am really... terrible.

There will be no worse guardian than myself in the world.

Long, long ago, the existence named Mori Ogai noticed this fact.

Too much desire for control, overly rational thinking, even a friendly appearance is just for the sake of one's own image, and even the appearance of convulsions seen by others is only for the purpose of better achieving the goal.

He is not a good guardian, nor can he be a "good" guardian in the popular sense.

Even the identity of the guardian is full of calculations, and he got it by deliberately approaching him after many calculations.

Otherwise, how could such a lovely child as Xijiang come to his side?

"Rintaro?"

Miki Nozomi's voice sounded, with the same calmness as always, explaining her unconfessed ability.

"My ability can replace death. Of course, the kind of death that has reached the end of life can't be helped, so it can only be an accident, and the other party must wear this thing close to him."

In fact, as long as she is present, it is fine, but at this time, it is estimated that her presence will not be needed.

Thinking of this, Nozomi Miki took out an omamori and handed it to Mori Ogai.

The red shou, with a somewhat familiar look, Mori Owai thought in his memory, and soon came to his mind why he felt familiar.

This was when Major Miki died, and it was exactly the same as the Omoru that the other party found from the drawer in the office.

At that time, he was still wondering why Xi-chan's first reaction would be this, but now everything seems to have the answer.

The little girl who was only five years old gave such a precious thing to her father, wanting to make him safe, even at the cost of herself.

Unexpectedly, the Amulet used for ability activation was not put on by his father, and finally, the current situation was formed.

Staring at this completely different, brand new little Amulet.At this moment, Mori Ogai even felt lucky.

If it wasn't for the fact that Major Miki didn't put it on his body back then, everything after that would never happen again.

I won't be Xi-chan's guardian, won't get the support of the other party, and will even be alone, planning everything by any means.

"Instead of...death."

He whispered the application of this ability, which can be said to be an excellent ability, but he only had one thought in his heart.

It would be too much to benefit others at the expense of oneself.

"I also think it's weird, it's not like the ability I should have at all."

Obviously, I worked very hard to love life, but in the end, what I had all along could only cost me my life.

Sighing a bit distressed, Nozomi chose to confess.

"It's better to say that this is actually my ability. [Unnamed Love Letter] is my mother's ability. She gave me this ability when something happened."

Speaking of this, Miki Nozomi pursed her lips, and her drooping eyelids made her look a little depressed.

"Father also lied to me that my mother had gone to other places, but I knew that something happened to her."

White lies, she is also perfectly cooperating, as if she really doesn't know anything, she is a sensible child.

Not wanting to say these unpleasant things anymore, Miki Nozomi raised her head again, hooked the corners of her lips, pretending to be relaxed.

"Rin Taro also knew what happened later, so I was taken by my father and arranged to join the Yan Knight."

"Is that so..."

Although I have heard about it, and I have indeed investigated it, it is indeed the first time Mori Ogai has heard the truth.

I have to say that Xijiang's mother really hid it very well, and she had never heard of such an ability before.

It was even the first time he knew that supernatural powers could be passed on to other people.

"That's not the point now!"

The sound of slapping the coffee table brought back Mori Ogai's distant thoughts. He looked at the little girl who was only a distance away from him on the coffee table, and spoke truthfully.

"I think it's not bad, after all, it's the first time Xi-chan told me about the past."

Like her father, or mother, or even Edogawa Ranpo, she only mentioned it a little bit, and never said anything.

And he did take it into consideration, and he didn't ask carefully why the dead are the most important, and the living don't need to argue with the dead.

"But we're pressed for time!"

Miki Nozomi is very dissatisfied with Mori Ogai's attitude.

I spent my sleeping time discussing such a serious issue. It's fine if you don't have a serious discussion with me, but you still go off topic and go wrong!

Who am I doing this for! ! !

"At the very least, something will happen to me in one month. Everyone will be able to see that something is wrong when I look sick. It is impossible to really set one month or three months as the time."

There's just... not much time left.

Obviously I don't want to, but I don't have much time to waste.

Because she has already delayed the summer festival due to her own selfishness, how could she delay it any longer?

"If I really want to say it, there is only half a month of preparation time at most."

Miki Nozomi bit her lip and said urging words, but in those brown eyes, Mori Ogai still caught the unwillingness and regret buried deep in his heart.

"There's not much time left..."

She repeated, those eyes were always gazing at Mori Ogai with gentle eyes, even a little dumb.

"It's...not much time..."

So no matter what it is, you have to plan quickly, and then prepare immediately.

Mori Ogai: "..."

What should Mori Ogai do at this time?

As the other party said, discuss with her how to sell the child you love the most within a limited time; or act like an ordinary guardian to comfort her?

Reason told him that the one he chose as "Mori Ogai" should be the first one, but at this moment, he didn't want to be that "Mori Ogai".

The emotions surging in his heart were clamoring, they urged him to contend with reason.

He is not really a machine born only for reason, he is also a human being, as long as he is a human being, he will have emotions.

and so--

Mori Ogai wants to be Rintaro back.

Even if it's only for this night, even for a few minutes.

Rintaro wanted to hug the child, Rintaro wanted to comfort her, Rintaro wanted to soothe her anxiety with a gentle voice.

Even if, as the other party said, time is really running out, but it's only for one night.

Is it really missing?

As soon as this idea emerged, it passed through layers of obstacles and occupied the highest place in one fell swoop.

Even if it's half a month, do I really lack this one night time?And is there really no solution?

My own child, my Xi-chan, the child I love so much.

She is the cutest existence in the world, the most sensible child in the world, always gentle, as if the whole person is the embodiment of beauty, an angel who accidentally fell into the world in heaven, even if she was pulled into it by herself. In this dark abyss, there was never the slightest complaint.

But at this moment, she looked so sad that she was about to cry.

Obviously she is so sad, isn't she?

"Xi-chan..."

Mori Ogai felt that he couldn't bear it anymore. In fact, just looking at Nozomi Miki's expression at this moment, he couldn't bear anything anymore.

Emotion, for the first time, defeated reason, even if it only belonged to this short moment.

He stood up, walked around the coffee table, and came to Miki Nozomi's side in just a few steps. Before the other party could react to his actions, he hugged the child directly.

"There is still time."

Mori Ogai whispered in Miki Nozomi's ear, with his right hand running along the little girl's hair, stroking gently, and speaking calmly.

"It's weird, I even thought it was just a joke between you and me, and when I got serious you would tell me something like 'Rintaro, you've been cheated'."

But whether it's his own understanding of the other party or the other party's feelings for him, he understands that it is impossible for her to deceive him about this kind of thing.

Even she didn't even lie to herself.

"I want things to be like this too..."

A familiar aura enveloped him, and even because of the difference in body size, the other party hugged her completely.

It was still the costume that hadn't been changed in the summer festival, and I could even smell the lively atmosphere of the festival.

Raising his hand to grab the opponent's dark haori, Miki Nozomi buried his face in the opponent's arms in frustration, and his voice came out muffled.

"If this is the case, I might be so happy that I can change 50 sets of small skirts with Taro Rin."

How happy would she be if it wasn't true?You can see Rintaro ascending the throne, seeing Kusaku grow up normally, and even seeing Dazai find what he wants to find.

That's too happy, isn't it?

But it's just a hypothesis...

False is false, the reality is that she is about to leave, and those who want to see are only limited to dreams.

It's a daydream.

I really want to see it.

I don't want to just leave like this, I clearly want to see that day come.

Even though such a long time has passed, she still can't learn to let go, and can't learn to laugh off all regrets.

For the first time, Miki Nozomi wanted to let her emotions go, but reason hindered her from doing embarrassing things.

If you say anything more, it will definitely cause trouble for Rintaro.

I was about to leave already, so I shouldn't have thought about it.

"Rin Taro..."

In the end, she just whispered the other person's name.

"Rin Taro..."

In the next second, she got a response.

"I'm here."

As always, full-bodied, with a feeling that makes people feel uneasy, he responded in a low voice.

He says--

"Rintaro who belongs to Miki Nozomi is always there."

The author has something to say:

There may be a third change, see if I can finish writing (Ban)
