you turned on the love game

Hisoka's eyes seemed to have substance, meandering along the ground, climbing up around your ankles little by little.As if being swept slowly by soft down, the surface of the skin faintly felt weird itching.

You feel a little awkward for no reason.

After yelling that she wanted to see the tail, Linna suddenly opened her eyes, those emerald eyes looked at you glisteningly, the pupils reflected the rays of light at the end of the sky, and her face was full of anticipation.

You met her expectation and compromised: "It is possible..."

There is a wind blowing in the woods in the distance. You brush the hair on the side of your face and ask curiously: "But how did Linna know that I have a tail?"

From the time we met until now, you haven't mentioned to them that this body is actually a magical beast.It stands to reason that Linna should not know that you have a tail, after all, she has always seen you in human form.

Hearing this, the blond girl's face was slightly less expectant.

The wind blows her hair up and swings up, up to her chest and then falls back to its original position. The beautiful emerald green gem is watching you quietly, then suddenly lowers her voice and speaks slowly .

"I saw it."

She stared sideways at the traces of the battle on the field, as if she saw the black-haired man who plotted against her through these traces, a trace of haze flashed through her eyes very quickly, and she smiled at you without reservation in an instant.

"When you dragged me to the square, a small memory suddenly appeared in my mind... I saw it in that memory."

Hearing this, your eyes startled, your pupils widened unconsciously, and you suddenly recalled the time when Linna showed signs of it.

That's what happened after you hugged her outside the gate.

In the pictures you saw in the mirror in the bathroom, when Linna fell down, the surface of the city square was just covered with gorgeous red clouds.

And when you took the girl to find the culprit full of anger, the red in the sky slowly covered the entire square like a picture in a mirror.

Just when the red color completely covered the square, that is, the real time coincided with the time of Lina's death in the mirror, you felt the palm you held froze suddenly, and then she held it tightly.

"Linna, what's wrong?"

When you looked back at her, the girl lowered her head, her eyes were blocked by her blonde hair dyed red by the sunset, and she slowly said to you: "It's nothing, I'm fine."

Then he held your hand even harder.

Back in time, you paused for breath after meeting Linna's gaze, and at this moment, an indescribable feeling suddenly filled your chest.

It's like eating a very sour candy, thinking that it will be sweet.But after it completely melted away, there was only a sad astringency on the tip of the tongue.

You ask softly: "Is it when the square turns red?"

Lin Na's eyes lit up, and then she nodded her head heavily: "Yes!"

There was a smile on his face, and he didn't see any negative emotions after that memory of death, "Miss guessed right, it was that time."

"..." You opened your mouth to say something more, but was suddenly interrupted by the girl's lively voice: "When I fell down, I thought I couldn't see you, but I didn't expect to close my eyes and see you standing there far away."

She didn't mention the bruises all over her body after the explosion, nor did she mention the endless pool of blood, she just raised her hand and gestured with great interest, her beautiful face was full of expectant expressions.

"I also saw that your legs turned into tails for a moment... It was dark blue, but it was dyed red by the sunset, super beautiful!"

She was talking about when you saw her fall to the ground with your own eyes.

Because the strong negative emotions directly impacted the heart, the deep-sea mermaid's ability to change suddenly became disordered.At that moment, you couldn't maintain your human form, so you showed your fish tail.

Linna stuck out her tongue and continued, "I thought it was an illusion, but I was curious, so I said this on purpose to see your reaction, but I didn't expect you to admit it directly—it turned out to be true!"

Seeing the little girl's playful and lively demeanor, the emotions in your chest quietly surged up, blocked your throat, and lowered your voice more than before.

"Well, it's true."

She tilted her head, held her face in her palms, her brilliant blond hair flowed down her shoulders and neck, her beautiful eyes shone brightly, and when she looked at you, she seemed to have a tail wagging behind her.

"Miss, Linna wants to see it."

Looking at her shining eyes, you couldn't help reaching out and touching her face, and then smiled softly: "Okay..."

Who can refuse the little cutie's acting like a baby?You can't anyway.

Suddenly, Linna's expression changed from happy to unhappy, and then a heat source approached behind you.A familiar breath penetrates your breath, followed by a strangely elongated tone of voice.

"Hmm...memory?"

You turn your face and bump directly into the hard spade vest.

Taking a step back and raising his head again, the red-haired young man straightened up slowly, his tight black clothes stretching out his muscular and tight waistline.

Hisoka held the joke card between his fingers and covered his lips: "It seems—"

The bright golden eyes are dark, but the brows are slowly raised upwards, and the ending voice also inadvertently rises: "Something happened that I don't know..."

Linna snorted coldly, folded her arms around her chest: "Of course..."

Just looking at Hisoka's reaction, he knew that he didn't get the memory, and the girl immediately became proud, "This is something that Missy and I share."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Hisoka's thin eyelids suddenly pressed down, and his eyes were deep, creating a faint sense of oppression.The ghost card slid down slowly against his cheek, revealing the corners of his lips and a smile full of interest.

The next second, his wrist flipped suddenly, and before he could see the movement clearly, there was a muffled bang not far away.

The playing cards were nailed straight into a tree trunk ten meters away.

His eyes swept over Linna casually, and finally landed on you, and said unhurriedly: "It makes me more interested..."

Linna made a grimace: "I'm not going to tell you if I'm interested."

Hisoka let out a light snort slowly from his nasal cavity, and didn't even give Linna half of his eyes. It was obvious that he didn't pay attention to her, which made the blond girl feel angry.

"Miss-"

You look at the two people in front of you, and suddenly one head grows bigger than the other.

On one side is Linna, who is unhappy and wants you to make the decision, and on the other side is Hisoka, who is smiling eccentrically and wants you to explain clearly. After hesitating for two seconds, you decide not to help anyone, and go straight ahead past them.

After taking two steps, you find that they haven't followed, so you turn around.

Linna was looking at you with a puffy face, you smiled helplessly, stretched out your hand towards her, and said softly, "Didn't you say you want to look at the tail?"

The girl's eyes suddenly became bright, and then she put aside the unhappiness just now, trotted a few steps to your side, held your hand, and decided not to pay any attention to Hisoka's behavior.

The red-haired youth smiled inexplicably and followed.

Due to the world-famous sky arena, the city has built a bustling business circle around it, with convenient transportation, and the largest number of buildings are gourmet restaurants and various high-end hotels.

You reserved a suite with the rest of the card, and when you opened the door, you saw a large floor-to-ceiling window, reflecting the night view of the city center.

There are three bedrooms in the suite, and there is a small bathtub inside. The location of the outer wall has also been transformed into a large French window, through which the towering sky arena can be clearly seen.

You set aside your newly purchased whiteboard and pens and start pouring water.

The arms under the clothes had started to dry out due to lack of water, and they could feel discomfort through the fabric, but Linna and Hisoka didn't know it.

The little girl squatted beside you curiously, tilted her head, put her chin on her arm, and looked at the whiteboard suspiciously.

"Why did Missy buy this?"

She opened the cap of the pen, scribbled a few strokes on the whiteboard, wiped it clean quickly, pouted, put the pen between her lips and nose, and muttered about your plans.

"Are you going to draw for Linna?"

She ignored Hisoka without thinking.

Hisoka sat alone on a high place in the locker, with his chin resting on one hand, his long and narrow golden eyes showing a little dark feeling when the light was weak, lazily laying down the playing cards, as if he didn't care about this side.

You heard Linna's guess and said with a smile, "It's not painting."

Bending down, you feel the cold water temperature in the bath, and the slightly rippling water surface reflects the bright moonlight outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

It was as if the moon had fallen soundlessly into this pool of clear water.

Linna opened her eyes wide in confusion: "What are you going to use it for?"

You slightly raised the corners of your lips, and said softly, "You'll know soon."

The water in the bath was filled up quickly. The girl was looking up at you, but when the water was full, she suddenly realized something, and immediately stood up and faced Hisoka, with shock written all over her face: "Why are you still here!?"

The piece of gold glanced at her casually, without any movement, Linna suddenly became very angry: "Didn't you see that the eldest lady is releasing water? Get out!"

At the same time, Hisoka's dark golden pupils turned suddenly, as if he had noticed something that interested him.

His eyes turned straight to the position behind Linna.

Linna pointed at Hisoka: "You bastard..."

Before she finished speaking, the sound of falling into the water suddenly sounded behind her, and the clothes on her back were instantly wet by the splashing water.

She was stunned for half a second before she could react, she turned her head abruptly, and her movements froze, the words that followed were stuck in her throat, and her eyes, which were clearer than dewdrops in the forest, looked at the scene in front of her in shock.

The watery moonlight flowed from the floor-to-ceiling windows to the floor, casting a clear and thin light. Two or three birds flapped their wings and passed outside, like several black ripples skimming the water.

In this clear and translucent light, there is a clear and clear wave of light jumping on it, which is the water wave of the bath reflected in this soft moonlight.

Suddenly, an ice blue tail emerged from the water.

First, the dark green pupils hiding the night, followed by a face that seems to be carefully carved, with a gentle smile on the corner of the lips, long hair floating in the water, floating and undulating along the waves like seaweed.

The dark blue fish tail suddenly popped out of the water, and when it was tapped lightly, the splashed water fell on the smooth scales, and then burrowed in through the gaps, leaving only the clear moonlight reflected on the scales.

The blue waves are rippling, and the water surface of the bath is sparkling with light.

It seems that there is the sound of small water with the movement of raising the arm, and the whiteboard is picked up by a white arm, and the pen is written.

Then the whiteboard was turned over.

I saw a very familiar handwriting on it:

[Sorry, are your clothes soaked? 】

"..." Holding the whiteboard for several seconds before waiting for Lina's reply, you lowered your arms in doubt, and the girl was staring at you in a daze, her lips parted slightly, and her beautiful eyes stared like copper bells, fully explaining her shock .

Amused by her expression, you wagged your tail in a happy mood, and inadvertently brought a small string of water splashes.

【Are you scared? 】

Lin Na suddenly slapped herself on the face: "No..."

She raised her other hand and covered her face tightly at the same time, her voice came out from between her tightly closed fingers, "No, no, I'm not scared."

You blinked in confusion and wiped off the writing on the whiteboard.Just when I was about to write something else, my field of vision was suddenly occupied by a pair of bright eyes, which reflected your current mermaid appearance.

"I guess Missy can't talk now, can she?"

Linna bent her eyes slyly, and the tips of her hair swayed with her body leaning forward, looking particularly excited: "That's why I bought a whiteboard specially to communicate with me, isn't it?"

The whiteboard is turned over: [Well, that's right...]

"Yeah! I knew it!"

The little girl sat on the edge of the bathtub, her curious eyes focused on the dark blue tail on your lower body, after a moment of hesitation, she stretched out her finger and poked it lightly, the cold touch immediately passed along the fingertips to the heart.

"Ugh-"

She couldn't help holding her fingers together, a strange murmur came out of her throat, her cheeks flushed, as if she was in some kind of strange excitement: "Miss, it's a real tail!"

【Of course it is true】

Linna knelt down in front of you, giggling cheerfully.You looked at her helplessly, gently pinched the girl's face, then spread out your five fingers and shook them, letting her see the film connected between the five fingers.

【Look, I still have this...】

Linna exclaimed in admiration: "It's amazing!"

She touched the film between your fingers, then leaned over and touched your tail again, straightened up and met your eyes with a happy smile on her face, and then excitedly opened her arms and hugged your shoulders.

"I found out that the eldest lady also has green eyes now."

She buried her head in your wet neck, rubbed it, and coquettishly whispered like a little animal: "It's the same color as Linna."

"..." Your gaze became soft, and you raised your hand to stroke her smooth blond hair with slow movements, as if comforting a spoiled child.

Feeling your movements, the girl hugs you more tightly.

Suddenly, you notice another line of sight.

Turning his head and looking over, Hisoka, who was sitting alone, was holding a ghost card between his fingers. The clown with weird makeup on the card was upturned and laughed strangely.

He pressed the corner of his card against the corner of his lips, his fiery red hair was dark red in the shadow, and those golden eyes that looked like beasts were staring at you.

From now until now, Hisoka has been silent.The poker towers piled up at the feet were fine a few minutes ago, but they fell apart at some point, lying around in a mess.

Realizing that you are looking at him, the smile on the corner of the young man's mouth gradually widened, and a few inexplicable laughs overflowed from his throat, his eyes pressed towards you, and something invisible was climbing up your arm.

You suddenly have a strange feeling.

As if the prey had been locked by a ferocious beast, it had a premonition of the imminent danger, but it couldn't guess which direction the danger would come from, so it could only circle around in confusion.

But the next second, you're laughing at your own thoughts.

Why do you feel like prey?

Because it is inconvenient to write on the whiteboard with Linna in your arms, after thinking about it, you waved your arms slightly at him, and smiled at the corner of your mouth.

What you didn't expect was that Hisoka's hand holding the playing cards suddenly lifted up, and the cards nearly covered most of his face.In the dim light, a playful smile slowly appeared on that delicate face.

You were slightly taken aback, and saw Hisoka lightly falling to the ground.

Holding a poker card in his hand, he put it close to his lips, and kissed him lightly. His brows were slightly raised, and his clingy eyes overflowed his eye sockets and flew towards you.

Afterwards, the young man raised his fingers, and the edge of the playing card drew an arc in the air, leaving only his characteristic upswing and ending sound in the air.

"Slightly, find something happy..."

The high-heeled clown shoes stepped on the floor and left. The sound of the door closing quickly came from outside. Linna raised her head and snorted softly: "It's time to leave a long time ago. There is no place for him here."

You stretched out your index finger funny and tapped her forehead lightly.

After ten minutes, you come out of the bath.

The skin that was dry and cracked due to lack of water has completely returned to normal.

When you were blowing your hair, Linna sat beside you with her face on her back and waited for you, as if she was always waiting for you to tell her a story when she was a child.

You turn off the hair dryer and turn your head to look at her: "What's wrong?"

She was lying on the table, her beautiful blond hair was winding down along the line of her shoulders, her cheeks were pressed against her arms, making small marks, and her voice was very soft, as if floating in mid-air.

"I think……"

Linna hesitated for a second, then buried her face in her arms, revealing her bright green eyes: "Sleep with you."

You looked at her, and softly agreed: "Okay..."

Linna only slept with you when you brought her back to the manor, and she chose to sleep alone not long after.But every morning, I will wait to say hello to you before I am willing to study.

Now, the girl who has grown up is nestled beside you, her soft hair spread out on the pure white bed.It's like a little furry animal is back in its trusting arms.

On a moonlit night, everything seemed extraordinarily quiet.

Linna's voice suddenly sounded next to your ear.

"Did something happen after I died?"

She is lying on her side, entwining your fingers, with hesitation in her voice: "My memory is only when I die, and I saw you lying on the ground at the end...Did anything bad happen afterwards?"

You comb Lina's long hair again and again.

He smiled and asked, "What is a bad thing?"

"for example……"

She thought for a while and said seriously: "If something happens to you, it will be very, very bad for Linna."

Hearing this, the pictures you saw in the mirror suddenly flashed through your mind, including the last image lying quietly at the bottom of the water tank.

Your smile did not change at all, you just changed your movements, stroked the girl's hair comfortingly, and then said to her gently and firmly.

"No. Nothing happened to me."

In the middle of the night, you suddenly woke up from your sleep.Lina slept soundly, but your arms showed signs of dryness again, so you had to get out of bed quietly and get into the bathtub again.

After becoming a mermaid, you spend most of your sleeping time in the water because your skin tends to dry out due to lack of water.

Only this time because of Linna's request, I slept with her for a while.

You lay on the edge of the bathtub, your skin gradually returned to normal, and you yawned sleepily, with sporadic tears overflowing from the corners of your eyes.When you were about to sink into the water to sleep, you suddenly heard movement outside.

The door was opened.

Then there was the sound of heels hitting the floor.

What came out faster than the sound was a faint smell of blood. You lazily opened your eyes, and a red figure in a clown suit came into view.

Hisoka propped up the wall with one hand, tilted his body intentionally or unintentionally, with an interesting smile on the corner of his lips, his eyes brushed your fishtail inch by inch.

"Well... I really want to take a bath too."

You were a little strange being stared at by him, and you couldn't help but move your tail.

After thinking about it, he opened the plug to let the water go, and then jumped out in human form, with his wet hair on his face, and said, "Then I'll give it to you."

You just need to sleep in the water anyway, a small bathtub in the room would do the trick.

Now you have become your own appearance, with black hair and purple eyes.When you were about to pass by Hisoka, a playing card of red hearts suddenly blocked your way.

"By the way...you haven't said yet..."

When you stand still, the red-haired young man slowly turns over the cards, and the image of the queen holding the scepter appears in your sight.

His voice was suddenly low and cold: "Memory, what do you mean?"

"..." You met Hisoka's eyes, the dark golden pupils were full of dark and deep, and then you curled up your lips and smiled, with the same tone: "It's just like what you did last time."

You stopped the battle between Linna and Hisoka at the beginning, but when they reached the point of death, they also had the memory of that battle.

"Last time?"

Hisoka chewed on this word for two seconds, as if he had thought of something crucial, his eyes sank for a moment, with thick and thick shadows overflowing from his eyes, but the smile on his face widened even further.

"Um... is that so? Who died then?"

Before you could answer, the narrow-backed young man suddenly took a step towards you. The moonlight poured down from behind him, casting a shadow that enveloped you, and your vision suddenly became dark.

The rippling ending suddenly became very flat, and the sticky tone disappeared at the same time. He lowered his head and asked, "Is that you, Lucia?"

The transformation department has always been a master of lying.

At the same time, they are also very good at seeing through the disguise of others' lies.

Lowering your eyelids, your eyelashes cast light shadows on your cheeks, the lie swirled around in your throat, and then swallowed back, Hisoka is no longer as good at hiding it as he was when he was a child.

You smile and decide to change the subject.

"situation at the moment……"

The muscular arms brushed against your side face, and the palms supported the wall, and the faint bloody smell lingering around you suddenly approached you.

"answer my question."

The corners of Hisoka's mouth curved higher, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Shadows spread from his feet, crawled along the wall behind you, and merged with the dark shadows folded around the corner.

He slowly bent down, close to your ear, his vocal cords trembled and brought out a low voice, like the movement echoing in the depths of the valley.

"Did you get killed?"
