The Coming Rain

Chapter.23

The weather was terrible, with heavy rain.With a bitter face, Charlotte held Ainuo's arm, and under the influence of Ainuo's thoughts, she walked into the Luxilu family's mansion without getting a drop of rain.

What I want to say is that Charlotte can use her own ability, she didn't do that, just because she wanted to rely more on Ainuo.The feeling that someone can rely on and rely on is far better than working hard alone.

"Sorry, I didn't expect it to rain so hard today." Kuroro stood at the entrance, looking at Ainuo and Charlotte apologetically.

"It's okay, this little rain is still not a problem." Ainuo replied with a smile, not minding at all.

Kuroro nodded slightly, and said, "Please come in, I'll lead the way." Aino and Charlotte changed their shoes and followed Kuroro into the house.

It was too quiet, until now, except for Kuroro, not even a servant had appeared.Charlotte narrowed her eyes slightly, and unconsciously grasped the corner of Ainuo's clothes in his hand. Apparently, Ainuo also noticed this, but he just touched Charlotte's head in a comforting manner, and smiled, as if saying, "Don't worry. , I'm here." Charlotte eased her expression a little, and smiled cooperatively in order not to worry Ainuo.

It's just that the worry in my heart can't be eliminated, Ainuo doesn't know it, and I haven't learned it from her.Whether Kuroro or Jialan, they are all from Meteor Street. Even if the people there are not psychics, they are far stronger than ordinary people, not to mention that both Kurolo and Jialan are of the trait system. The ability to read, they are far stronger than Ainuo.

Charlotte smiled wryly in her heart, it was almost inevitable that she would tear her skin apart, would she still confess to Kuroro, and then fight as an enemy?No, there is no need to fight, just run away. Although she is not good at using the law of space, she is just not good at it. As long as she is prepared in advance, she can use the law of space to transfer away.

The farther away the better...

"Miss Charlotte seems to be in a bad mood today?" Kurolo asked suddenly.

"Because the weather is terrible." Charlotte frowned, and said very quickly, "I hate rainy days, the weather is gloomy, and the air becomes heavy." It reminded her of the rainy season on Meteor Street, so bad The environment, and at the end of that rainy season, she was used as a tool, and she didn't know how she was used... Forget it, she didn't want to know.

Kuroro stopped in front of a door, turned around with a vague smile on his face, and opened the door for the two people behind him. "That's really embarrassing. This is the living room, you two should wait here for a while, the maid will bring hot black tea later." Kurolo didn't wait for the two to respond before finishing speaking. Go straight to the depths of the corridor and disappear around the corner.

Charlotte walked into the living room and pulled Aino to sit on the sofa, looking very relaxed. "It seems that you really care about Kuroro." Ainuo teased while looking at the layout in the living room. "It's not funny at all." Charlotte frowned. "That guy is too dangerous. If possible, I don't want to come here. The Arthuria continent is far safer for me than the Eurubian continent."

"But you are still here." Ainuo focused his eyes on an oil painting on the wall, got up and approached to appreciate it, stretched out his hand with an expression of admiration on his face, as if he wanted to touch the oil painting, but his fingers just stopped On the frame, it seemed that he couldn't bear to damage the oil painting because of his own touch.

"Because you are here." Charlotte finally relaxed, showing a happy smile, "Ainuo, you are my master, I can't let you face hidden dangers. If I want to say, this danger is because of me." Yes, of course I have to take responsibility.”

Ainuo was silent for a moment, retracted his hand on the frame, turned around and looked at Charlotte, with a gentle and loving smile: "Yes, but, I want to protect you more than you protect me." He walked away Going to Charlotte, sitting on the armrest of the sofa, gently stroking Charlotte's hair, and said slowly: "Although you always say that you have lived a long time and your age is an illusion, I always feel that you The time of my life is just stuck in this moment forever. In that case, I am lonely, right? If I am alone all the time, I am really a strong child.”

Charlotte froze for a moment, then quickly shook her head vigorously: "No! I'm not alone, I still have friends, and now I still have Ainuo!" What's going on, Ainuo's tone and words are right now, It filled her with uneasy emotions, this feeling... bad.

"Friend..." Ainuo seemed a little surprised, but he showed a relieved smile, "It's good to have friends. From this point of view, Charlotte is better than me, because I don't have any friends. Jewelry designer Whether it's my job or my job as a hunter, I've always been a loner. Few people can run around the world with me, and because of my eccentricity in making jewelry, others think I'm very It's strange, so I seldom get in touch with me." "But there's still me!" Charlotte grabbed Ainuo's hand anxiously.

"Well, so Charlotte, it's really good to have you here, you are my important treasure." Ainuo's smile became softer, "I have been thinking before, if you are really my family, Charlotte , then what will your name be? I think, let's call it 'Xing', because I hope you can get the most happiness in the world. You don't need to be beautiful, you don't need to be excellent, there is no such curse and no With these abilities, just be an ordinary girl, have an ordinary but happy campus life, meet a lot of friends, and then meet a boy you like, who also likes you, fall in love, get married, have children, and finally grow old with a smile, This kind of life is ordinary and happy.”

"But Ainuo, you..." Charlotte wanted to say, what about Ainuo, where is Ainuo, since they are relatives, they should be by her side.But her words were interrupted by a knock on the door. A maid with a calm face came in pushing a trolley. There were white porcelain teacups and teapots on the trolley. Curly steam came out of the spout, bringing a wave of Intense aroma of black tea.Charlotte shut her mouth and let go of Aino's hand.

Ainuo smiled, sat down beside her, took the black tea handed by the maid, and put a cup in Charlotte's hand.

The maid bowed politely and was about to leave, but Ainuo stopped her and asked, "Is there a quieter room here? I suddenly have some inspiration and want to continue carving the gem for your young master." The maid thought for a while After a while, he nodded and said: "Please follow me." Ainuo nodded, asked Charlotte to give him the toolbox, and left with the maid. Charlotte planned to follow, but Ainuo refused, so she had to hold it alone. Sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

The living room was very quiet. Charlotte didn't have the heart to look at the interior decoration. She just looked at the black tea in her hand. The rose-red tea reflected lifeless black eyes, which seemed lonely and sad.Why would Aino say such a thing?Even if they were really captured by the Phantom Troupe, her ability would allow them to escape, and even if Ainuo died, she could bring him back to life...

"You're worried about Ainuo." The sudden voice in her ears made Charlotte's hands tremble, and some hot tea spilled on her hands. Charlotte didn't care about the slight burns on her hands, but lifted start.

What came into view was Kuroro's calm face. Charlotte wanted to say something, but saw Kuroro raised the corner of her mouth and reached out to touch her cheek: "No need to pretend, Sakura, or Charlotte, you exposed .”

Charlotte leaned back to avoid Kuroro's hand, but a red mark was scratched on her cheek by the nail.Kuroro looked at her face with some regret, and said happily: "Fortunately, no scars were left, why did you run away?"

"Kurolo, what are you doing?" Charlotte grinned, "So I've said it many times, I'm not that 'Sakura' at all, why do you always treat me as someone else?"

Kuroro put his hands back into the pockets of his jacket, and said with a smile: "There is no need to continue acting. Shui Zi's ability is the 'eye of truth', which can see the shape of a person's soul. Originally, she couldn't see through it. Yours, but just now when you were staring at the black tea in a daze, she relaxed her vigilance so that she could see your soul form. Although she couldn’t see it carefully, she could still see a hazy cherry tree full of cherry blossoms. Coincidentally, That is exactly the form of your soul that I saw by relying on the power of the contract."

Charlotte suddenly wanted to laugh.She was really kind, she should have killed the lost person if she knew it earlier.Because Shui Zi is a lost person, not a wanderer, and has the possibility of returning to the original world, she didn't do anything, but now she has caused such a big trouble for herself.

But... Even if she chooses again, she won't do it.Lost people, lost in a world that does not belong to them, since they can go back, why not?Because she couldn't return to the original world herself, she hoped that at least others could go back.

"Kurolo..." She whispered the name of the boy in front of her, looking into his eyes, "I've been thinking about how long I can leave."

The black-haired boy just looked at her with deep black eyes, without saying a word, with a slight smile on his face, like a hunter looking at the prey in his trap.

"I have had this realization for a long time, I will definitely meet you again, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." Charlotte said slowly with a pure narrative tone, "Your appearance hasn't changed much, but your soul, It has become darker and deeper. Be it Jialan or Shuizi, they were attracted by your soul and followed you into hell, right?"

"You also come to my side." The boy smiled and stretched out his right hand, sending out a devil's invitation.

"Impossible," Charlotte chuckled suddenly, "because I can't fall, because I have fallen deeper, I just want to climb up." She is Charlotte, when she decided on the name , she laughed at Nao Sakura.In the constant travel, her heart has long since fallen to the bottom of the abyss, she only has hope, and she only wants to climb up.

"You will come. Not to fall into hell, but to come to me." The boy's seductive tone was like a poppy.

"It's a curse." Charlotte shook her head, and instead of responding to Kurolo, she asked, "Kurolo, there is no need for you to find me, let alone catch me, you are already strong enough, I will only hinder you become stronger."

Kuroro withdrew his hand again and turned to cover his mouth, as if thinking about something, Charlotte waited quietly for his answer.There is no need to escape, Ainuo is still here, and she also believes in her ability.
