The Coming Rain

Chapter.21

"That child, there is a problem." When he said this, Ainuo was sitting in front of the desk, holding the Tuya Eye that was "fused" by Charlotte in his hand, staring intently, as if he never said that it would make Charlotte stunned Live this sentence.

The room fell silent, the air remained in a fixed space, and the atmosphere became serious.After a long time, probably because he didn't hear Charlotte's answer, Ainuo sighed softly, put the gem in his hand in the flannel box, stood up and turned to look at Charlotte, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Charlotte, I am not an ignorant child. As a hunter, I can detect darkness and danger. Before you came, that child was really good at hiding, but since he called You 'Luo Luo' started, and you couldn't hide it. Now that I think about it, many of his previous actions were tentative, and I just realized it."

"I..." Charlotte wanted to say something, but felt that she had nothing to say.

"I don't mean to blame." Ainuo came over and patted Charlotte's head, the corners of his mouth widened, "For him, Charlotte must be a very important person, that's why she got impatient and showed her feet. In fact, this is normal, his eyes can be worthy of Tuya's eyes, so he must not be a simple person, I have handled so many gems and seen so many people, I still have this kind of vision."

Ainuo withdrew his hand, his smile disappeared, and he became more solemn: "The current situation is very dangerous, and it is still an unknown danger. I feel that the child has been confirming your identity, but he is still doubtful. If possible, I will I hope to get the answer I want from you."

Charlotte looked up at Ainuo, hesitated to speak, and finally shook her folded hands vigorously, looking straight into the depths of Ainuo's eyes: "Before I met you, he was my master. From the age of seven to 13, and now, it's the first time we meet after more than half a year." She frowned slightly, and then corrected: "The meeting for me, he didn't know that I was the person he knew at the beginning."

She didn't want to hide anything from Ainuo, because from the very beginning when she suggested that Ainuo come to Urubian Continent to find Kuroro, Ainuo had been walking on a high-altitude steel wire, and she didn't want Ainuo to have an accident because of her concealment.So, she wants to tell Aino everything.

Aino was stunned for a moment, and then covered Charlotte's mouth before Charlotte continued to tell the past.

There was a warm and rough touch on his lips, and Charlotte looked at Ainuo with some doubts, wondering why he didn't let her speak.

"Charlotte, you probably want to tell something about Kuroro?" Seeing Charlotte's natural expression, Ainuo smiled and shook his head, "If you do this, I won't be able to complete the production of Tuya's Eye, To understand a person, you still have to experience it yourself. If you tell me about him, my understanding of him will also bring your understanding. This is not what I, a jewelry designer, want result."

Ainuo moved his hand away and said: "What I want to know is whether he will make any dangerous moves towards you. If that happens, I will be very troubled. I am not a powerful hunter. Now it seems that Since you have been with him for so long, he should have deep feelings for you, otherwise he would not be so cautious, and in that case, I am relieved." He paused, and then continued, "Anyway, Protect yourself."

There was warmth in Charlotte's heart, and she said confidently: "I am omnipotent, there is no problem in protecting myself, and I can protect you too!"

"No man is sincerely willing to hide behind a woman, it's about my dignity." Ainuo said with a straight face.

"I can change my age, what do you think of 'girls'?" Charlotte also had a straight face, with a serious and upright expression.

No matter how dangerous things are, if there are people who can walk side by side, she feels that she can face them with a smile.Aino is exactly such a person.

The relationship in the next few days was considered to be peaceful, and Kuroro's behavior would occasionally be a bit mature, and also a bit innocent, like a child of a certain background who was a little puzzled about the lives of ordinary people. But there will also be some more precocious performances.

Charlotte's performance was impeccable. She already suffered from mild dissociation disorder. It can even be said that when Kuroro called out the name "Sakura" according to the contract, what he understood was not Charlotte, but Yes - Sakura.Charlotte, who is the Cherry Keeper, is not the real Charlotte.From a certain point of view, during this period of time getting along with Kuroro, Charlotte was far more relaxed than the previous six years, and it was always the easiest to be yourself.

This also made Kurolo even more unpredictable, while Ainuo was always on the sidelines. The more Kurolo tried, the deeper his understanding of Kurolo, and the more confident he was in carving gems.

This is like a ball of death. I don't know whether to leave smoothly or just sleep forever when the ball is over.

In fact, it doesn't matter to Kuroro. Although his goal at the beginning was the Eye of Tuya, if he had to choose between the Eye of Tuya and those black pupils, he would choose the latter without hesitation. Although his choice may mean death.

He can't let his weakness appear, Ainuo is just a dispensable role for him, and he doesn't need to care about it.

It was still raining, and in the evening, as usual, Charlotte finished her meal first, then said "I'm going out to play" and hurriedly put on her raincoat and ran out.

Kurolo put down the knife and fork in his hand, and his movements were graceful: "Miss Charlotte always runs out after meals recently. What's the matter? I'm a little curious."

Ainuo smiled: "I'm looking for that wild cat. I found it in the grass outside the hotel last night. It looks like it was abandoned. In fact, if she wants, she can take it back and raise it." of."

"Wild cat?" Kuroro looked out the window, and the bright blue raincoat in the rain finally turned into a small dot and disappeared in the drizzle.

Charlotte stood at the entrance of the street, looking at the shivering kitten curled up in the corner of the street.It's really small, and it feels like it can be held up with one hand.The hair was twisted into strands from the mud and rain, and it looked thin and dirty, and it was completely unintentional to touch.

In fact, Charlotte didn't intend to touch it. After discovering the cat yesterday, she just stood far away and didn't approach it. Otherwise, "she" would definitely give her a hard paw.That's right, it's her.Charlotte could see that there was a human girl's soul in the cat's body.If Charlotte gets close, the wanderer who instinctively hates the Cherry Keeper will do something.

Since there are wanderers like Jialan who crossed over to Meteor Street in this world, there will also be wanderers like this girl who crossed over into a cat.No, it's not just a cat. She can feel the vitality of this cat is slowly passing away. If she keeps doing this, her body will die in a short time.However, the soul of a cat will not die, and it should be possessed by another creature, such as a human being.

Sensing someone approaching, Charlotte made a seal with both hands, and the Sakura Festival seal was hidden. This very familiar seal made her figure disappear in place, without any possibility of being discovered—the power of the Cherry Keeper is unrivaled .

The person who came was just as Charlotte thought, Kurorolushiru.Although he has suppressed his breath to the minimum, she can easily find out, nothing else, just can find out.

Soon, Kuroro holding a black umbrella appeared in Charlotte's sight.Didn't see Charlotte, Kuroro still had a calm face, just noticed the kitten in the corner, paused for a while, then walked towards the kitten.

"...Ahhh, it turns out that there is a 'law' that you must meet plot characters when you travel through time." Charlotte complained with a tangled face. Anyway, with the Sakura Festival seal hidden, she will not be found out if she does anything.Not to mention that she met Kuroro and Feitan the first time she came, and then Yiermi and Miji, and now the girl leaning over the cat also met Kuroro.

The first person to meet Kurorolushilu after crossing, she Charlotte may be the first, but she is by no means the last - in this regard, she has no "privilege".

In the drizzle, the black-haired boy stood in front of the gray-yellow kitten stained by the mud, looking down from top to bottom. Charlotte walked up to the boy and looked into the boy's eyes. With any emotion, look at the kitten as a dead thing.

The kitten seemed to have noticed something, and opened its eyes. Only then did Charlotte realize that the kitten's eyes were clear sea blue, one of her favorite pupil colors.Kuroro's figure was reflected in those cat pupils, and then the pupils shrank suddenly, and the kitten's movements froze for a moment.

The corner of Kuroro's mouth curled into an arc, but his eyes remained unchanged.

This reminded Charlotte a long time ago, when she was still an ordinary human being, in a certain class during school, the head teacher slapped the table and got angry at the students below: "You think I can't see you making small moves below? I can see clearly from the podium!" The perspective is so magical, you may think that you have no mistakes, but people looking down on you can easily find every bit of you.

Of course, the current mode of getting along between Charlotte and Kuroro is not the same. The latter has not yet reached the same height as the former, let alone looking down.It's a pity that now this kitten, or the girl attached to the kitten, is being looked down by Kuroro. Her every move is fine, whether it's Kuroro or Charlotte on the side. Can see clearly.

Now, the kitten has regained the posture that a cat should have. Maybe it was just a momentary loss of consciousness for her, but the two people present saw it.

Kuroro bent down and stretched out his slender and white fingers, as if he wanted to touch the kitten's body, but the kitten moved away.In the cat's pupils is the vigilance of a beast, but there is also a trace of nervousness and precautions of a human being.

Charlotte squatted down on Kuroro's left, held her chin, and sighed as she watched the kitten's actions.This is a game, people don't want to watch it anymore, because the ending is already doomed, this girl has already lost to Kuroro when they met.

Kuroro withdrew his hand, even though he could touch the kitten as long as he wanted, he still withdrew his hand, as if thinking for a moment, then put down the umbrella to protect the kitten covered by the umbrella from the wind and rain.Charlotte could clearly see the dazed look in the kitten's eyes, and there might be some...unbelievable?

Will the leader do such a thing?Charlotte thought she would think the same way if she switched sides.

After sending out the umbrella, Kuroro has been standing in front of the kitten, standing quietly, and watching quietly, with a focused expression.Charlotte jumped up from a squatting position like a spring, she no longer needed to look any further, there were only two possibilities for the result of this going on, one possibility was that the kitten accepted Kuroro and left with him, the other was that The kitten fainted from hunger and cold and was taken away by Kuroro.

Aren't they all the same result?Thinking of this, Charlotte raised her head to look at the dense clouds above her head, and murmured: "It's raining..." Then she turned around and left without muddling at all.
