The Coming Rain

Chapter.24

After a long while, Kurolo finally put down his hand and looked at Charlotte with soft eyes like another person: "Because you are my weakness, and I don't want to let my weakness out."

"You can kill me so that you have no weakness." "But you will not die, I knew that when I established the contract."

"I can also never appear in front of you. I can make you never see me, or never meet me." This is just the application of a very simple soul law, Charlotte thought so, and said Other options, "I can also make you lose all your memories about me forever, not by sealing them but by erasing them directly. Or, I can make you never have any feelings for me..."

Charlotte couldn't speak, because she felt the heavy atmosphere around her. There was a terrible storm in the boy's eyes, which almost gave her the illusion that the boy would destroy everything in the next second.

Yes, illusion.

The storm in Kuroro's eyes dissipated, and he smiled again: "Sakura, no, it's better to call you Charlotte, do you prefer to be called like this? Whether it's you or me, we all know , will never exist..."

"That's 'until death'." She corrected herself.

Kuroro looked at her silently, confirmed the authenticity of her words, and said: "It's not important, I just want you, I want you by my side, just like before." "But I hate you " Charlotte said bluntly, "You are too dangerous and too smart, I don't want any excitement, glory, or sin, I just want happiness, ordinary happiness."

The young man shook his head, and the fine black hair on his forehead swayed with the shaking. There were faintly detailed tattoos in the hair, and he laughed: "Charlotte, you are too cold-blooded, and I can make you happy."

Charlotte suddenly felt that such Kuroro was ugly, did she really go too far?This way... it should have hurt Kuroro. She has taken care of Kuroro for six years, and she has never tried to understand Kuroro. Her impression of him has always been in the anime. Many times, Kuroro really fits the bill. Her impression, but in the final analysis, Kuroro is only 13 years old and still a child. Is it too cruel for her to treat her like this?

She couldn't help soothing her tone: "Ku Luoluo, you obviously have Jialan and Shuizi, and you will meet other girls who like you in the future. You can choose them. You think you need me because I am the first A person who appears by your side and treats you well—in fact, I treat you well only because of the contract, you know that. You mistakenly think that you need me, this is just an illusion caused by your lack of understanding of feelings.”

After that, there was a long silence, almost even time stopped in this silence, the young man finally let out a breath, looked at her steadily, and said word by word: "I choose the last 'forever', no, 'Until death'. But please wait until today when you leave here to fulfill my choice."

Charlotte laughed with relief, touched Kuroro's head as before when the two had not revealed their identities to each other, and said relaxedly: "Okay, when I leave, I will make it so that you will never have anything to do with me." emotion."

"I'll let the knight come over. This time I came out from Meteor Street. Apart from Jialan, you only know the knight. He misses you very much." Kuroro smiled.

"That's a pity. I want to see if Feitan has grown taller." Charlotte said with a smile.

"Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed." Kuroro said concisely, and walked out of the living room after speaking.

Charlotte watched his back disappear outside the door, and looked down at the water stains on the carpet. The tea she had just spilled had completely penetrated into the carpet, leaving only a light red patch on the pure white fluff, as if it had been diluted. the blood.

After a while, a blond-haired child ran in and threw himself into Charlotte's arms: "Sakura!"

Charlotte caught the golden retriever quite helplessly: "It's dead!"

The knight in his arms didn't speak, and Charlotte also fell silent, just hugging the knight as before, like treating a younger brother.

Obviously we have been together for so long, but now I feel very strange.The first time I made a small virus out of those tattered computer magazines and ran to her to show off. Now I feel that it is another person called "Xia Ke", and the one in my arms is from the Phantom Troupe. spider brain.

"Charlotte," the chivalrous man raised his face, the cute doll's face had a sunny and innocent smile, "Why did you leave in the first place?"

When he heard the knight address himself, Charlotte put the knight down from his arms, and the knight obediently sat on the opposite sofa. He poured a cup of black tea and covered his hands, blinking at Charlotte with his big green eyes. Ah wink, looks cute with the smile on his face.

However, that is already a "knight".

Charlotte also poured herself another cup of tea, holding it in her hands like a knight, warm and comfortable.She took a sip of the slightly sweet tea and looked at him with a smile: "Actually, you understand it all. I don't need to say more, you have always been smart."

"It's because you don't like the leader—I mean Kurolo?" The knight looked at the tea leaves suspended in the cup, "Charlotte, you don't know, the day you left, the leader was going to tell you everything. Did you know? We formed a criminal gang called the Phantom Brigade, and Kurolo is the leader. I, Feitan, and Jialan are all in the brigade. The leader wants to prove his ability to you, but you but left..."

"Even without me, he would have done that sooner or later." Charlotte rubbed the teacup in her hand, just smiled, "We all know that Kurolo is not a person that Meteor Street can hold, he has a big heart, The world is his stage."

"Look, you clearly understand. If that's the case, why do you still have to leave?" The knight said anxiously, "You don't know the leader..."

"Hush, needless to say." Charlotte put her index finger to her lips, and smiled to signal the knight not to continue, "I don't want to know this, so what can I do if I know it? Everything has already happened, so don't look back on it with regrets. She paused and said, "I'm just tired, tired of that place on Meteor Street, and also tired of staying by the same person all the time. I don't like it."

As long as she said it like this, her real thoughts, it didn't matter to anyone whether it was like this or not, she said this just because it was the answer that Kuroro would want.Of course, the knight will relay her words to Kuroro, he is a member of the Phantom Troupe, and Kuroro is the leader.

At first, she just wanted to leave, it had nothing to do with Meteor Street, she just left because she never got the respect she deserved.According to the content of the contract, she is a guardian, not a slave. Even if Kuroro's understanding is wrong, she still cannot accept such an identity.What she has always wanted is freedom, because she has been bound by the cherry blossoms and cannot be free, so she pursues freedom in other aspects.

Really capricious and paranoid.Charlotte sighed inwardly.

From a certain point of view, this is also the reason why she will not return to Kuroro. Kuroro's possessiveness is too strong, it can't even be said to be possessive, just a collection, right?Moreover, after getting it, it will be discarded, right?What if she returned to him?Freedom is still only a mirage out of reach.

The knight was quiet for a while, and then asked again: "So, Charlotte, won't you get tired of staying with that man named Ainuo?"

"No," Charlotte smiled with squinted eyes, "because I like him." It has nothing to do with love, she regards Ainuo as a family member, as a brother, she thought that family love was just a distant memory for her, but now it is close very close.

"Then, Charlotte must persevere, I like it..." Said the knight, his smile was still bright and bright.

Charlotte looked at him for a while, and finally nodded: "I know if you don't tell me." She stood up from the sofa and asked, "Xiaxia, did you control that maid with your mind ability? Tell me, Ainuo is here where?"

"In the study, with the leader." Said the knight, and added, "The room at the end of the corridor."

"Well, thank you." Charlotte smiled, walked out of the living room, and went to find Ainuo.

When she was about to walk to the end, she saw Kurolo coming out of the room at the end. When she saw her, she didn't speak, just nodded and walked away, but Charlotte stopped and looked at Kurolo. Luo walked away, finally sighed, knocked on the door twice, twisted the doorknob and walked in.

Ainuo was sitting at the table concentrating on carving gems, but did not notice Charlotte's arrival.Charlotte didn't make a sound either, just sat aside and watched quietly.She doesn't know how to carve gemstones, and she doesn't know how to describe them. She can only roughly see that Ainuo is making a ring, using the whole Tuya's Eye to carve a ring.The outline of the ring can already be seen. From Charlotte's point of view, it is no different from other rings, but after looking at it for a long time, she only feels that her soul is being pulled over, just like Kuroro's eyes.

I have to say this is a wonderful thing.

However, this also shows that Ainuo already knows Kuroro's "truth".Why would Aino know?Charlotte doesn't care about this issue, because after today, she and Ainuo can leave here, far away, and she doesn't have to worry about being watched by Kuroro again.Kuroro, who will not have any feelings for her, will not look for her again.

When Kuroro said that her soul form was a cherry blossom tree, Charlotte wanted to laugh, not only because Azusa exposed her, but also because neither Kuroro nor Azusa saw her real The soul form, what they saw was the soul form of the "cherry keeper", not her Charlotte's.

Her own soul is too ordinary, so ordinary that all the light is covered by the soul form of the Cherry Keeper.Unless she is not a Sakura Keeper - which is impossible of course - no one can see through her soul.

Actually, this is just a game of Sakura, right?For a lost person like Shui Zi, no matter how powerful the wilt is, it is impossible for her to have such an ability. It is simply a joke that she can see through the soul form of the guardian of the cherry.Charlotte can only understand that this is Sakura's practice.

But...Sakura Life doesn't need to do this.Charlotte frowned, then smiled silently.She is still too easy to be fooled, Kuroro is probably just blackmailing her, tricking her to tell the truth, or is it that she is subconsciously tired and doesn't want to play such a "playing game" with Kuroro anymore?I don't know, but since it has been exposed, there is no need to care about this issue.

After watching for a while, Charlotte felt a little sleepy, so she leaned back on the chair and fell into a light sleep.
