This is a story about a human being.

Kusanagi Kyouko realizes that human beings cannot choose their parents by themselves, when the mother throws the photo frame on the ground, and the glass shards fly in all directions.He stared blankly at the woman in front of him, the years hadn't even left a slight mark on her beauty.For as long as he could remember, his mother had always had a ghostly face, and she would break everything that was fragile, hysterically accuse him of being a waste that couldn't leave his father behind, and drop their remains on his head.

If he made a sound, he would be beaten more violently, so Kusanagi Kyo learned to endure them without crying a little bit.In the dark room, there was only silence and mother's roar, which gradually turned into sobs.In the end, she would still hug him tightly, strangling his back with suffocating strength, without saying a word.

She never said any words of love to herself, on the contrary, she always whispered her love for Kusanagi in his ear.

What kind of person is he?Kusanagi Gong didn't know.The chances of him seeing his father are pitiful. Unlike his mother, his father always wears a vague smile and strokes his head with a generous palm. The illusion of being about to be eaten.Kusanagi would sometimes see him impatiently pushing his mother away through the crack of the door, and the two of them fought together, leaving a mess and blood-red kitchen knives on the floor the next day.

……this is Love.

He didn't speak much, and over time he almost lost the ability to speak.Being splashed with water in school, beating places that are not easy to find, or finding bugs in shoe cabinets and half-burned books are not big things worth suffering for him. Strangers will stab each other with malice It is a matter of course.Kusanagi Kyouko thought so.

Just be silent until one day this life ends.

until……

"Is Brother Jialan a human being?"

Little by little, he folded the paper in his hand into a simple circle of roses. There are already nine No. 40 roses, all of which he put in a box.Garan taught him many folding methods of still life, and Kusanagi kept them only as a way to record Garan. For him, every item delivered to him by the big brother in front of him is precious.

"Would you treat me so tenderly, brother Jialan is a god?"

"...Troublesome." Jia Lan sighed, "I'm not a god, I'm just a passer-by who can't see it. But I have a secret to tell you."

He coughed twice, brushed his hair, and grimaced, "Actually, I'm the monster of the big bad wolf!"

Kusanagi Kyouko followed his swaying long hair dully, and nodded with half understanding.He hasn't read the fairy tale book, so naturally he doesn't know what these mean, and the appearance Jia Lan tried to put on is meaningless.The mermaid hugged her knees and sat back beside him in frustration, "Do you know wolves? What about lambs? Mermaids and the like?"

"Will Brother Jialan eat me?"

Jia Lan scratched his hair: "No way! Ah... You probably don't understand, right? How about bringing you some books next time?"

Kusanagi Gong nodded in confusion.

The books Jia Lan brought were stories from various countries. Considering Kusanagi’s growth environment, he specially chose fairy tales that are easier to accept and convey beauty.Kusanagi's three views have completely refreshed his cognition, he seems to be unable to understand the feelings between human beings - especially love and family affection, which in his opinion are stupid and impossible things.

Unexpectedly, Kusanagi is most interested in the story of The Little Mermaid.Different from the princes and princesses who lived happily together, the ending of becoming a bubble for the sake of illusory love seems to be more to his liking.

"Why would you trade your tail for a chance to meet the prince?"

It's like exchanging something that others envy for a dream.

Jia Lan thought for a moment, "Because, love?"

Even he himself felt that this answer was guilty and unreliable.Kusanagi didn't ask any more questions, and held the book tightly in his arms, it was a gift he cherished.

……

"——Gong, would you like to leave here with me?"

It has been a long time since they met.Garan had never stayed near a human town for more than a year before, but for the sake of Kusanagi Gong, he stayed here for more than two years.At first he thought it would be getting better, but when he finally noticed that Kusanagi always wore long sleeves no matter what season it was, he realized that the situation had actually gotten worse.

Sometimes it was a face covered with Band-Aids and swollen beyond recognition, sometimes it was severed fingers and scalded arms. The origami boxes that Kusanagi had collected for a year and a half were burned in front of him, but he put the ashes and Contaminated dirt is collected and repacked in bags.Jia Lan looked into his eyes and spoke his heart for the first time.If he agrees, he can take him away now, and with the help of the little monsters, go to other towns, anywhere is fine, and he will try his best to let him continue his studies.

in case……

In the eyes of Kusanagi Gong, the first thing that appeared was the emotion of being at a loss. He struggled to understand the meaning of Jialan's words, and curled up cautiously: "Does Jialan want to leave here?"

"No, what I mean is, I will take Gong with me and go to other places. Although it may not be easy because it is taken away by force, I will ask my friends to help me and make you my family .how do you feel?"

Jia Lan's tone became extremely light, and he even regretted saying such a thing. After all, in many family cases, the conflict between blood relationship and violence caused tragedy.Maybe Kusanagi Kyouko still has a glimmer of expectation for his parents, and it is impossible to just leave.

"I--"

"Yo."

A male voice interrupted their conversation.This frivolous and lively greeting made Kusanagi Gong suddenly raise his head, his eyes gradually became hollow, and he could not make any sound even though he opened his mouth.Jialan stopped him behind him and looked directly at the man in front of him. The feeling he brought to others was completely different from that of Kusanagi Gong. People who saw him for the first time could only think of the word fox, because the mocking arc and contemptuous eyes made him Never mistaken.

"Ah, you don't seem to be very good, Gong." The man clapped his hands, "Why are you still talking to strangers? Come to father quickly, don't hide behind others at such an old age."

He looks relaxed.Kusanagi Ren is taller than Garan, but it doesn't completely overwhelm him.What really shocked Jia Lan was the huge resentment behind him, as if there were countless hands with only bones left on his shoulders, biting his ears, madly cursing him to go to hell.Among them are not only human beings, but also animals and monsters. Every wronged soul is incomplete, and some hang in the air and stare at him, but the latter is unmoved.

The blood-red shadow dripped from his shoulders to the ground, disappearing invisible.

He may not be able to see it, but as long as the visionary meets him, he can see the purgatory on earth.

"--you."

"Oh? Oh? Can you see it? That's great, it's wonderful, it's good." Before he could speak, the man mechanically turned his head and looked in his direction, amazed, "I think you are a good boy, I like you .But can you give me back my A-Gong now? Our family is in a hurry."

Kusanagi Gong pinched the corner of Garan's clothes, and managed to stop the trembling from the depths of his soul. His eyes were blurred, and he could only see the tall figure talking to his beloved elder brother.He blinked, hoping to see clearly, but his heart was beating crazily, as if it was going to jump straight out of his chest, his consciousness seemed to drift far away, and the hand that was always in close contact with Jialan was gradually lost Strength, hanging down feebly.

Jialan's back covered him, he seemed to hear the sound of conversation, and everything returned to silence in the end.

What happened next, he couldn't remember at all, his hand fell into someone's palm again.The cold temperature came from the skin, and the man looked down at him gently, probably smiling.

This is the last time a human named Kusanagi Kyouko met a mermaid.

……

"Give me some choices, okay? I like your face quite a lot, so I'm willing to give you a choice. Are you going to be an experimental product, or Frankenstein? Eh...so sleeping pills have no effect on you. It's best not to resist too much, compared with non-human beings like you, my children are much more fragile, and there is nothing they can do if they are accidentally broken."

"It's useless. After all, it's my child. I know everything he does. It's impossible for him to escape from me. It's not good for you to take him away without authorization. If you don't agree to the exchange, I'll take him away now." How does that kid turn into Frankenstein?"

Rei Kusanagi watched with satisfaction as the test subject in front of him stopped struggling, and turned the scalpel in his hand boredly.

"The results of the blood test are not the same as those of humans. Fortunately, I have the habit of keeping trophies. I have also treated many monsters so far, either cutting off their tails and ears, or turning them into monsters. But, as long as the head is cut off and the heart is dug out, the monster will die, don't you seem to be different?"

He smiled and brought the tip of the knife closer to the man.

pain.

pain.

pain.

Whether it's a knife, whether it's a sword, whether it's strangling, whether it's poisoning——

"It's useless to you." The man sighed wearily. He was not dissatisfied with his failure, but simply tried, like a child playing with his own puppet. "It is rumored that swallowing mermaid meat can Immortality seems to be true."

ah.Jia Lan rolled his eyes, but couldn't utter a single word from his lips. He couldn't describe the man in front of him, what kind of fanaticism was being displayed on his distorted face.

Mermaid flesh can live forever.

The way to kill mermaids is to devour their flesh and blood and integrate them into their bodies.

But no one knows that mermaid meat is poisonous.It is a fierce poison that even monsters cannot bear, so for hundreds or thousands of years, there are very few people who can obtain eternity from mermaids.They either regretted giving their own flesh and blood, or were forcibly injured, and killed the human beings who devoured them with resentment.

The way to make fish meat non-toxic is-

"I've decided, since mermaid meat is right in front of me, I have to try it, right?"

-

"...Ah, you guys, it's time to draw blood, help me take care of him. I took a fancy to his face and this body, and after the blood is drained, he will assist me in the brain transplant operation. If I die from poison, You also understand how to deal with it. Of course, we have to kill him first, right?" Kusanagi Ren yawned, fiddled with the entangled pipes casually, and showed a ferocious smile, "How about this? I will let my most beloved child , how about being your first diner?"

——The offering of the mermaid.

willingly, to give flesh and blood to someone.

He seemed to feel that something was being cut, and the warm liquid gradually became cold, but there was no pain.The room was shrouded in bright incandescent lights, and he could feel the wound regenerate, regenerate, regenerate, and then the severe pain that ordinary humans would feel like being strangled in the heart.

As if being chewed.

But there was no malice, the boy's cheeks were filled with inexplicable tears for some reason.

He resents—

If he hadn't met Kusanagi Kyouko, if it hadn't been for that stupid boy who stumbled his footsteps.He really hates the boy who can't do anything, and also hates himself who can't change anything in the end.

what.

He closed his eyes.

I still have some use for it.

I hope you live, and then...you will definitely meet someone who saves you, and unlike me, he is definitely powerful.

A faint smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and darkness enveloped everything.

"Vital signs have disappeared."

One of the shadows made a sound like a sigh, and then immediately gave instructions: "Recover Dr. Kusanagi's body immediately, and perform a brain transplant—just as the doctor explained in advance."

……

"Father? Brother Jialan..."

"Ah, it's better not to trust strangers too much." The man leaned down, put his index finger on his lips, and said in a soft voice, "Big brother has already left, and this town must not bring him more development. Before I'm afraid what I said was just lying to you."

"Lied to me?"

"That's right—just lying to you, boy, don't listen to this guy."

Ah—are you lying?

The young man held tightly the folded flower in his hand, and quietly made a certain decision.

Even if it's a lie.He will definitely come back, and I will wait until Garan gets what he wants, and returns to this small, run-down, twisted town.Until that day comes, I will wait for the only light in my life to shine into the night, and then thank him again.

Go to a place that no one knows, to a place that smells like sunshine, to a place where you can fold a box of roses and give it to him as a gift.

——This is a small promise made at a certain moment, which even the mermaid doesn't know about.

It is impossible to know.
