the world

"It doesn't matter if I leave this world sooner or later?" Taki Ruoye asked after shaking the red wine in the glass.

"Even if it's just a human being, who knows that the person on the other side will be gone someday? Isn't it human's first impulse to seek happiness from love?"

"Indeed it is."

"You must have lived longer than I imagined, and it's not surprising that you had a relationship."

"Strictly speaking, I have never been in a serious relationship." Taki Wakaba supported his head with his index and middle fingers, "Want to hear me talk about the past? Although I haven't been in a serious relationship, but I Been proposed, twice."

"...What time is it?" Xia Youjie unconsciously clenched the cup tightly.

"Once when I was 13...or was it 14? It sucks, I can't remember decades ago now. Once was when I was 18."

"That's too small."

"It was the Heian era at that time, and I was already married at that age. Later, I could be considered an old woman if I was not married at the age of 18."

"...who are they?"

"The former is the irreplaceable left general, the latter..."

"What happened to the latter?"

"Just thinking of him, the only person who would like him is me. At that time, I really hoped that more people would like him, and he could treat everyone like me." Taki Ruoye looked at the cup Melting ice, said, "His character is not likable at all, and he is full of 'evil' in the eyes of others, but when I was walking on thin ice, only he really helped me. Although I also did for him at that time There are many things, but at the same time, I also climbed higher mountains for myself, and when he helped me later, it was completely just for me."

"What you do now is always for others, I don't see any selfishness."

"Because I have strength now. At that time, I was just a slightly extraordinary maid. If I didn't seize the opportunity, I couldn't do anything. How can I not be scheming when I am at a disadvantage?"

"So, you didn't expect him to fall in love with you?"

"Yes, in fact, he is pretty easy to deceive, right? Once you trust someone, once you give someone your heart, you have completely given yourself out."

"Fortunately, that person is you. Although you say you are scheming or something, you should always be good for him, right? Otherwise, why would you say such words that you hope to save him? I hope everyone likes him, this kind of Words can only be spoken by those who truly think about him.”

"At that time, he was very similar to me. They were both struggling in the abyss, so I could understand his incomprehensible pain, and I couldn't let him go. His evil was not complete. I think I can Do my best to correct him. Even if he can't push himself and others, I can rein him in and keep his condition from getting worse. If I don't die by then, I should be able to..."

The ice cubes in the cup have melted into small pieces, shining like diamonds under the crystal lamp.

"When I left that world, he had already become the ghost king. I traveled through many worlds, and I thought that one day I would be able to go back. But when is that day? Maybe he is dead, or maybe he has become the heinous ghost king .If it's the latter, how should I deal with myself?"

"A heinous person... would you describe him like that, is it because he can't turn back?"

"He is the only ghost king, and only cannibals can survive." Long Ruoye looked at Xia Youjie and said softly, "Actually, I am also a ghost."

Perhaps because of being trapped in memories, Taki Ruoye's eyes looked a little hazy, and her lips were slightly parted and raised slightly.

Xia Youjie's heart beat faster, this is what he wanted, he wanted to know more about Taki Ruoye, he wanted to get closer to Taki Ruoye.

Obviously, this is the real Taki Wakaba, unscrupulously releasing her aura, charming and dangerous.

"Is it a ghost in traditional Japanese culture?"

"It's different, but the same thing is strong. He turned me into a ghost. I died because of him, and I live because of him."

"why?"

"Because the power of the Star Curse will burden the body. After all, it is a curse. This is its innate and does not belong to its negative effects. The human body is very fragile and cannot bear the growth. That power. At the beginning, the Star Curse wanted to manipulate me into becoming a witch and the evil in the world, so its power always acts on myself first before getting the right, modifying my memory and making me complain to others, Full of vengeance. To be honest, it is a miracle that I have been able to bear this power until now."

"Your existence itself is a miracle."

"I think, as long as my heart remains the same, even if I use the power of the Star Curse, I will not be a deeply guilty person. So, I will let go later."

"So, there is one more kind-hearted witch in the world now." Xia Youjie clinked glasses with Taki Ruoye, "Then have you thought about how to treat him? What if he becomes a heinous villain?"

"If that's the case..." Taki Ruoye looked at her palm, "I want to rewrite my fate once."

"Can something like that be done?"

"I've never done it before, but if it really gets to that point, even if I die, I'll try it again."

"...I don't want you to die for it, you don't have to do that."

"At that time, he couldn't live without me; I couldn't live without him. So, if one day he indulges his evil and hurts other people, I will bear the consequences of the crime."

"He is very important in your heart, and I'm a little jealous." Xia Youjie said half-jokingly.

"You are also very important in my heart. Everyone I meet is unique in my heart."

"and after?"

"After that, except for frivolous love, no one confessed to me, because I was a big name at that time."

The words that seemed exaggerated and ridiculous in other people's mouths, but Taki Wakaba's words only made people feel very natural.

"I'll catch you." Xia Youjie drank the wine in his glass, "Now tell you 'I want to stand by your side', 'I want to be with you all the time', you can't Answer me? This is not something I can do on my own initiative, but requires you to make a choice. Therefore, I will do what I can do on my own initiative. You have given everyone your sincerity, and when you leave Will it be sad, lonely? In a few decades, when you mention me to others, will you also show a lonely look?"

"So, I want to catch you and let me be your destination." Xia Youjie looked directly at Taki Ruoye and said seriously.

"You just said something amazing?" Taki Ruoye put down the cup with a smile, and that smile was a little different from before. "If you can do it, try it. I'm looking forward to it."

On the streets of Sendai, Taki Wakaba walked out of the business district, holding a bag of edamame dessert in her hand.

She and Xia Youjie are going back to Tokyo tomorrow, probably because of Gojo Satoru's influence, Taki Ruoye always wants to buy some specialties when they go to a place they don't often go to.

There is a three-way intersection outside the business district, and the wide road is crowded and orderly.At this moment, Taki Ruoye happened to meet the green light, and she rushed towards the opposite side among the crowd.

On a street full of people, there was a man standing against the traffic light, leaning on his side, standing still among the passing crowd.

He is tall and tall, and under the reflection of the neon lights and billboards behind him, the bright parts of his clothes are shining, just like a model.

"Jie..." Taki Ruoye just spoke, but she paused, "Who are you?"

He turned around and saw the same face as Xia Youjie, except that there was a suture line on his forehead. He reached out his hand to greet Taki Ruoye: "Hi! Are you free to chat?"

Taki Wakaba stopped in the middle of the road, and the two of them looked at each other among the passing crowd.

The traffic light near the red light issued a "dididi" reminder sound, which is a reminder sound for the blind.

The voice became more and more urgent until it rushed to a peak and stopped.Before it stopped, Taki Wakaba stepped forward and stepped on the sidewalk: "Okay."

They went directly to the nearest coffee shop to sit down, and the waiter came up to ask, "Xia Youjie" only glanced at the menu, and ordered drinks, including Taki Ruoye's.

That was Taki Wakaba's favorite drink.

Taki Ruoye's body has a familiar and strange feeling, and at the same time, there is a faint sense of intimacy.

"Want to get close to me?" "Xia Youjie" put his chin on his hands, and smiled at Taki Ruoye, "I feel the same way."

"Although you have been hindering my plan and making me revise it over and over again, which is a headache, I have always been very interested in you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have spent so much effort to get the current body, But at the same time, I also discovered something more interesting."

"Can you tell me about your current body first?" Taki Ruoye pondered, "...is that right hand?"

"Smart, this body is made of Xia Youjie's flesh and blood and your blood. Both are irreplaceable, especially your blood."

Regardless of the feasibility, if Taki Wakaba can estimate the amount of blood needed to grow the whole body from one amputated limb, she won't lose so much blood without noticing it.

So it was released by him on his own initiative, and it could only be that one time, Taki Ruoye got the answer in his heart.

"Yes, it was that time. The cloud and rain that covered the entire high school was mixed with a lot of your blood, and it flowed on the ground like a waste. I purified and collected your blood from the sewer, and made it conducted research and experimentation to ensure that results are not influenced by your abilities."

"Your experiment was a success."

Taki Ruoye understood that that sense of intimacy came from the blood that made his body, and that blood had escaped her control.
