Little Priest's Cat Diary

Shidir raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Although the lock can't be opened, the chain keeps cutting." He said, "However, there are solutions."

His eyes met Sardis's, and the corners of his slender eyes raised affectionate arcs as usual.

There is a smile in a pair of peach blossom eyes.

"If ever you really can't stand His Majesty the Emperor, as long as..."

Hidir raised his hand in the gesture of a knife, and swung it on Sardis' left wrist.

Mingming's eyes were full of smiles, but that smile was full of coldness.

"Click it."

The red-haired phantom thief grinned and said scary words in a frivolous tone.

"Cut off His Majesty's hand like that—"

There was an undisguised provocation in his words.

"You can regain your freedom~~"

He smiled and said, "Isaiah, what do you think of my method?"

Mia: "..."

I think you better shut up.

A tiger's butt can't be touched.

Do you think a lion's paw can be touched casually?

He sighed.

No matter how dull he was, he could feel the tense atmosphere between the two men.

He raised his hands between the two, and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but Sardis, who was standing behind him, suddenly spoke before him.

"It doesn't matter."

His Majesty the Emperor replied.

"He has that opportunity anytime."

There was a pause.

"Do not……"

Sardis said, "It should be said that when I put on the bracelet, I have given him the power to control my life."

"My saber is always at my side, within reach of him."

Still holding Mia's shoulders from behind with one hand, Sardis held Mia's right hand with the other.

"You could cut off my hand at any moment, or..."

Under the faint light, the eyes of different colors flickered with a faint light of different colors.

Sardis glanced at the throat of the man in his arms.

On the slightly pale skin of Mia's neck, the thin bright red long scar became more conspicuous.

Staring at the trace that looked like a bloodstain, Sardis's pupils seemed to have invisible deep sea waves surging, and it was as silent as the deepest night.

He held Mia's right hand and pressed its fingers to his throat.

He said softly: "Or... simply cut off here."

Mia took a breath.

He tilted his head and looked up at Sardis.

His hand was held by Sardis, and his fingertips pressed against Sardis' throat.

When Sardis was speaking, he could clearly feel the ups and downs of the warm skin touched by his fingertips, as well as the pulsation traces of the large jugular artery.

That is the most vulnerable part of the human body.

The place he touched was a place that could easily take a person's life.

【Let go of you...unless I die. 】

The man in front of him was serious.

That man really wanted to trap himself by his side even if he risked his life.

But...that man is extremely cunning.

He clearly knew that it was impossible for him to do such a thing.

Mia pursed her lips, flicked it vigorously, and withdrew her hand.

"No matter what you say, I will definitely find a way to open this bracelet!"

Over there, the red-haired monster who leaned on the stone pillar with his hands folded and looked at them curled his lips.

"never mind."

He shrugged and said, "Anyway, after you go back, there are still many people in the palace who will help you find trouble with our emperor, so Isaiah, please bear with it for a few days."

"Speaking of which, I saw that kind of thing as soon as I entered the door, and I almost forgot the business of looking for you in the future."

In fact, he left suddenly in the afternoon because a thought flashed through his mind, so he was eager to come back to check the information and ask the priestess for confirmation.

It's just that he never expected that such a thing would happen as soon as he left.

If I had known, he should have watched from the side... Forget it, there is only one who can be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no one who can defend against a thief for a thousand days. If he can defend against a thief for a while, he will not be able to defend him forever. Even if he does not leave in the afternoon, he will have such a move sooner or later.

Who made Isaiah mess with such a difficult guy?

Sighing helplessly in his heart, Sidir began to talk about business.

"You also know that in the past five years, I have visited many temple ruins and found something more or less."

"Actually, I've always found it strange that some prophecies say that, as the Son of God, your birth should be the salvation of the world, but other prophecies say that when you return, a catastrophe will follow. Human beings who are sins will also be destroyed because of this."

"These two statements are completely opposite, so I can't figure it out."

"What's even more puzzling is that if Luna's goal is to take you back, she can take you directly."

Ignoring the murderous eyes cast by a certain emperor, Sidir continued to speak.

"But why did she have to arrange the entire Hitaya family as a sacrifice? Why did she have to bring disasters to destroy mankind?"

"Really just to punish them?"

"Or..." The red-haired thief's expression at the moment was rare and serious. He stared at Miya with deep eyes, "In order to take you away, those 'destruction' are necessary prerequisites?"

Mia was stunned.

The words that Sidir said made his heart jump suddenly, as if an inexplicable emotion was stabbed gently in the bottom of his heart like a needle.

It didn't hurt, but it just made him suddenly feel ominous and disturbed.

If [Destruction] appeared because of him——

"The next thing I want to tell you alone."

The red-haired phantom thief continued to turn a blind eye to the unfriendly eyes of a certain big lion.

Mia pursed her lips.

He didn't say anything, but turned his head and stared at the clingy lion who was still holding him tightly.

He didn't say a word, just staring at Sardis with his eyes.

Straightforward, without blinking.

He obviously has an immature face like a teenager, and his body is also a bit smaller than the opponent, but for some reason, his aura is crushing that headstrong and arrogant lion to death.

Being stared at by Mia, Sardis hesitated for a while, then obediently let go.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Mia's death, he obediently walked aside and pulled the maximum length of the thin chain.

Although his face was unhappy and sulking, he finally stood there honestly.

Sidir: "... Tsk."

It is rare in the world for His Majesty the Emperor to be so obedient and obedient.

I really want the subordinates who adore him crazily and the enemies who are terrified of him to see the scene in front of them with their own eyes.

That picture must be spectacular——

The red-haired Phantom Thief, who was used to adhering to the principle of watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, imagined that scene uncontrollably in his mind, then coughed twice, and quickly shifted his thoughts to the business.

He leaned close to Mia's ear and lowered his voice so that only he and Mia could hear it.

He only said three words softly.

"Ponway City."

Miya's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Don't you think... the experience of that city is somewhat similar to that of the Hitaya clan?"

Although they are different sins, they are all equally sinful.

Human beings are born of evil because of desire.

The moon god abhors such evil.

She wants to destroy the very source of evil.

Finally, Ponwe was destroyed in a volcanic earthquake.

In the end, Hitaya Forest was destroyed by the torrential rain and tsunami.

"And another thing they have in common..."

Hidir shut his mouth when he said that, he just gestured to Mia with his eyes, and slightly tilted in the direction of Mia's left hand.

After squinting, he immediately backed away from Mia.

no way.

The big lion is watching eagerly.

His eyes were piercing him like sharp arrows.

Even for him, there was a feeling of coldness in the back of the neck and numbness all over the body, which was really unbearable.

And he had pretty much said all he had to say.

Shidir stroked his chin.

"In addition to these words, I also came to say goodbye to you."

Mia looked up.

"you are leaving?"

"I didn't intend to stay for too long." He said lazily, "I stayed there for such a long time because of all the bad things I encountered."

Having said that, he frowned.

"Speaking of which, it seems that every time I meet you, I will encounter a series of troubles."

Complaining so, he gave Mia a sideways glance.

Although he complained so much, he raised his hand and patted the boy's head lightly with his fingertips.

Although this is the case for the first meeting and the goodbye, it is not always the same.

At least that one incident was because he actively followed up and participated in it.

In the past five years, he has been searching for the remains of the Moon God, also for...

……

Well, it was only because he was very interested in that moon god that he continued to investigate, and now he is leaving to continue to investigate.

Purely personal hobby.

That's all.

While making a definition in his mind, Hidir glanced at the window beside him.

It stands to reason that, as a phantom thief, the most chic and handsome way for him to leave should be to leap away from the window.

Even if he trespassed on the bedroom of a certain emperor, he would have walked through the window sill.

but now……

The floor-to-ceiling window he was looking at was closed tightly, and the thick curtain blocked the moonlight outside.

……never mind.

The red-haired phantom thief opened the door, walked in and out of the room rarely.

It was the first time for him to be so well behaved.

He never looked back, but just raised his hand and waved to Mia behind him.

"Isaiah."

What he shouted out of his mouth was still the name he had identified.

"Actually speaking, you are just a teenage kid, so don't worry too much, kid, just do what you want to do."

The door opened and then closed again, seeing Sidir's back disappearing in front of her eyes, Mia was in a trance.

He took a step back and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Raise your left hand.

The place where Hidir gave him a look just now was his left hand.

On the wrist of his left hand, the round jade-like, crystal-like moonstone bracelet reflects a faint cold blue luster under the light.

The faint blue light made the young man's skin more and more translucent and snow-white.

Ponway City.

Hitaya Forest.

Another commonality is that...

When the former was destroyed, he got the Moon God's Bow from the ancient underground temple.

When the latter fell, he received a moonstone bracelet from the priestess.

The miracle of the former needs no further words from him.

And the latter...

At the beginning, he dived into the sea to search for Sardis, and searched for a long time, but for such a long time, he didn't feel the slightest difficulty in breathing.

He once told Sardis that since then, his appearance and body shape have never changed, as if he can no longer grow up like a normal person.

But thinking about it carefully, it is not so much, as it is after getting that bow, his time seems to stop at that moment forever.

From the moment he got the moon god's bow from the underground ancient temple in Pangwei City, his body seemed to have undergone some special changes, and he gradually became different from ordinary people.

And then...resurrected from the dead...sleeping at the bottom of the sea for more than five years...

That pile, every piece is so unbelievable.

The fire light shone on the face that was still as immature as a boy, and traces of light and shadow swayed in the sea-like blue eyes.

Miya's fingers clenched her arm tightly.

He could almost hear his heart beating, as if his heart was being held tightly by invisible big hands, making it hard to breathe.

he thought bewilderedly.

The present self...is he really still the same 'person' as Sardis?

or already...

Uh, Sardis.

correct.

Just say what feels wrong.

Too quiet.

It seems that something is missing around me.

Mia looked up, suddenly a little dumbfounded.

Sardis was still standing at the place where he stared at him just now.

The big lion probably didn't get his permission, so it just squatted there obediently and obediently, not daring to come over.

He had a majestic and terrifying appearance, but the sharp eyes that looked at him did not see the slightest bit of beasts, but instead showed a bit of grievance.

The appearance of staring at Mia helplessly seems to give people a kind of pitiful illusion.

The corner of Mia's mouth twitched.

I really want to be angry, and feel that I should be very angry, but I just can't get angry.

He's been in that mood ever since he was forced to wear the bracelet.

Sighing, he thought, he was still too soft on Sardis.

Probably because she has been like that since she was a child, and she is used to doting on Sadie, so now it has become a habit carved into her bones.

After all, in the final analysis, it was also because he died in front of Sadie... One, two, three... Uh, three times?

And thinking back carefully, every time he died in front of Sadie's eyes, the scene seemed to be very tragic...

…………

Well, it's no wonder Sadie's stress response was so intense.

"come over."

The big lion's eyes lit up, and he approached in a few steps.

"Squat down."

The big lion thought for a while, then obediently bent his knees and squatted in front of the boy sitting on the edge of the bed.

In this way, Sardis's line of sight is slightly lower than Mia's.

Mia stared at Sardis' face.

On one side is the dark pupil, under the lamplight, there is a faint light like the dark night, like black jade in the dark night.

This beautiful eye was almost destroyed.

He stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the slender mark under the black eye with his fingertips.

A shallow scar.

But it didn't damage the face that was as beautiful as the flames of the morning glow, but added a dangerous breath that made people's heart beat.

Sardis looked at him, moved his face closer, and rubbed his palm actively.

"Mia."

He whispered his name softly.

In his voice, he gazed at him full of attachment.

Only in front of his little priest, the mighty emperor who is so powerful and mighty, can reveal all kinds of tenderness and attachment... and the fragility that only the little priest can touch.

And that fragility exists because of him.

The man kneeling in front of the bed stretched out his hands, held his face, and gently pressed his head down.

"...so stupid."

Miya made this indistinct sound in her throat.

It's just that he didn't know that the weak muttering sound was referring to the person in front of him or himself.

But Mia finally lowered her head following the strength of the hands holding her face.

He closed his eyes.

A familiar touch touched his lips.

The heat on the lips is like the heat transmitted from the palm of Sardis holding his cheek...

……

The dim light shone on the two people in the room.

Mia leaned over, wrapping her hands around the neck of Sardis who was still squatting in front of him.

He sat with his head bowed, burying his face in Sardis's broad shoulders.

"Take me back."

he said softly.

"Sadie."

Hidir is right, blindly avoiding nothing can solve anything.

He had to go back after all.

Go back to the place where he came and grew up in his life, to face everything known or unknown.

"Take me back to Portoyas."

At this moment, he had a faint premonition in his heart.

There is first.

There is also the last.

...Perhaps, in that city, the end of all prophesied fates is about to come.
