The Coming Rain

★Aino Extra Story★

He thought he would live like this for the rest of his life, lonely and empty.

He obviously lived in an orphanage since he was a child, but he has not developed a character of caring for others at all, and has been just watching with cold eyes.He is not the weak type, so he has not been bullied. On the contrary, he has received many requests for help—all of which have been ignored by him.

If you want to talk about love, he also knows that the grandmother of the orphanage loves him very much, and always touches his head and says, son, you should live a good life in the future and live a happy life.That was the time when his expression was the softest. He liked the feeling of being cared and loved, knowing that there was still someone in the world who loved him.

But such a good person died very early because of the work in the orphanage.He also started from that time to learn to pretend.

Grandma said she wanted him to smile happily, and he laughed, even though he wanted to cry when he went to the funeral.He just wore black clothes, hid behind the tree, did not look at the coffin in the open space, raised his head to the sky, and smiled softly.

When he left the orphanage at the age of 12, he gave himself a name - Ainuo, which has no special meaning, just a random combination of words.After that, his life was peaceful and smooth: he discovered his talent in jewelry design, met a hunter because of a job, learned the ability to read, and then participated in the hunter experiment, becoming a mineral hunter, and gradually because of his ability. Recognized by the public, become a first-class jewelry designer.

He is an adult and has had several girlfriends, but without exception they all left him in the end.Because of his work, he is often attacked by people, whether it is for gems or for the owner of the jewelry he designed, he seldom has any stable time, and his girlfriend is often involved in it.

Because of this, he was cursed like that.

His last official girlfriend was involved in the incident together with him. Although it is a trait-type telekinetic ability, it is not of the offensive type. His own telekinetic ability is also mainly for auxiliary work, and does not have much offensive power. When their captors offered to let them go if he handed over the precious rough gemstone, he shook his head at his girlfriend's expectant eyes.

He wanted to complete this task not only because of his status as a hunter, but also because he wanted to find a suitable form for this gem.Because of his answer, his girlfriend was killed by those people. She originally had the attitude of killing chickens and monkeys, just pretending, but because of his indifference and anger, she really did it.The idiosyncratic woman fell to the ground with a miserable smile, and cursed him: "You only see work and those precious stones... You will die alone, you will never fall in love with anyone, and no one will ever love you! "

He was later rescued by his employer, but he always remembered the face of the woman who was smiling at him in the pool of blood.

He could understand such despair and pain, but he still had no emotion.He just wants to live a good life, what can he do without a lover for the rest of his life?If he is lonely, he is already lonely, and he doesn't care at all.

This curse must have been fulfilled. Every time after that, as long as a woman shows affection for him, he will encounter various dangers, and his attitude of running away alone will minimize the affection of those women for him, even Once, after the other party was rescued, he was slapped on the spot.

He just smiled and left.

After that, I no longer wanted to find a partner.If it is said that people need to depend on each other to survive, he can regard work, tasks and gems as the objects of his dependence, and that would be fine.

Then, he met the man.

The girl who got out of the lake, the golden sun shone on her body, she was obviously in a distressed posture, but because of the refraction of the light by the water droplets on her body, she looked like an elf of light, dazzling and eye-catching.He walked over with his usual gentle expression, and asked a very ordinary question, but when he saw the eyes of the girl who raised her head, he was a little lost.

Quite beautiful eyes, pure black pupils, clean and transparent, no gem he has ever seen can compare with them, he even had the urge to dig them out for a moment.However, this impulse was completely dispelled when the girl happily threw herself into his arms.

There were still water droplets on the girl's body. When she threw herself into her arms, she felt a little cold at first, but soon felt warmer.How long has he not felt the human body temperature?And it's so warm...

He quickly learned about her situation from the girl's mouth. Although he thought it was incredible, he believed it, maybe because the object was this girl?In any case, he still has a friendly attitude towards girls.

He didn't know what kind of tasks and abilities this girl named Charlotte had until he signed the contract, but what surprised him even more was what he saw of Charlotte's soul.Sitting alone and quietly under the gorgeously blooming cherry blossom tree, the girl whose figure was so thin that it was almost transparent was covered by the cherry blossom tree. If it wasn't for the contract, he couldn't find the girl at all.

Suddenly, he felt that this child was very similar to himself. Thinking of the curse at the beginning, he didn't think it was a big deal, obviously someone was alone with him, wasn't it?

But the girl is not as lonely and indifferent as he imagined, on the contrary, what she lacks most is hope, she smiles so brightly every day, as if there is never anything to worry about.If it wasn't for the fact that he had actually seen Charlotte's soul, he might have been deceived too.He knew very well that what this young girl experienced and endured was unimaginable darkness for ordinary people.

Why do you still have such a hopeful heart?He didn't understand, but he still took Charlotte seriously.

For some reason, he didn't want Charlotte to know about his past, whether it was the curse, or his potential indifference and selfishness, he didn't want her to know.Perhaps, it is because of the relationship of the same kind.

Charlotte likes him very much, but he can also feel it. In fact, he likes him, rather, he likes his attitude towards her.Gentle, loving, and pampering, because of this attitude, she is so close to him.He wasn't sure if Charlotte would treat him like this if he knew his true nature, so when Charlotte said that he didn't want to go to Eurubian Continent, he was relieved.

In danger, he might abandon Charlotte and leave by himself—he didn't want those eyes to be filled with disappointment and anger towards him.

The process of searching in Urubian Continent is quite difficult. After all, to find someone who has the same soul as the gemstone like Tuya's Eye, he must have witnessed it with his own eyes. He also encountered robbers along the way. But because of the ability to read, he can still deal with these guys.

The more relaxed moment is probably when you receive something from Charlotte, right?In order to suppress the erosion of people's hearts by the Eye of Tuya, Charlotte still took a lot of effort, but when he saw the mobile phone in the mail bag, he was quite surprised.

Although mobile phones have become popular now, they still belong to the luxury category, and the one Charlotte sent him is obviously the latest model.I don't know where this girl got the money from. He believed that she was a helper in the dessert shop, but he was just worried that Charlotte would send all the wages to him. In that case, it would be a bit funny.

But I feel very warm in my heart.

While being warm, he also felt a little guilty.

The gentle big brother in front of Charlotte is not completely real, at least he knows that his smile is not so sincere, real, only the method learned from the dean's grandma, right?He stroked Charlotte's head to express his love, and his calm heart was not only Charlotte, but also himself.

【Charlotte, if I'm not such a gentle person, what do you think? 】

He hasn't sent such a text message for a long time. Every time, he enters it and then deletes it, back and forth, I don't know how many times.

Charlotte often sends text messages, but she is not used to making phone calls. According to what she said, she feels that words can touch people's hearts more than words. She even took a photo for him to see. It is an ordinary notebook, but the inside On the page, he copied all the text messages he had chatted with.

The handwriting is beautiful and small, not very similar to her lively and outgoing personality, but it is still deeply remembered in his mind.

He could feel that Charlotte liked him more, it was the love of relatives.I don't know if it's because she lacks the love of her relatives, such a powerful force, such a firm heart, if she is placed among girls of the same age, she must be someone to be relied on by others, but who would have thought that what she really wants, Is it dependent on others?

He still remembered that during the search for the blue fluorite, whether it was rainstorm, thunder, night, or beast...everything that a girl would be afraid of, she dealt with it without changing her face. Only once, he Because of an accident, she returned to the hut late, and the girl sitting on the lawn in the sun looked lonely and sad. After seeing him, she seemed to have a touch of charm and a cheerful smile.

What she was afraid of was loneliness, unlike him, who was used to loneliness.

When texting each other once, Charlotte said: [There is no one in the store, I am alone looking at the store, people come and go outside, but I feel that I am living in another unknown corner. 】

He originally wanted to smile back at her and say [such a literary sentence is not suitable for you], but he paused for a long time, and quietly sent another text - [And I am here, I know the corner where you exist. 】

The reply is a big smiley face symbol.

She should be no different from ordinary girls. When she is bored, she will be sentimental, say some literary and pan-acid sentences, laugh happily and chat with her girlfriend about which one has good-looking clothes and delicious desserts, and see what she likes. reading books, listening to the music you like, being crazy about the boy you like, blushing and protesting at the teasing of your girlfriend, swaying your youth, living happily and freely.

She is different, accepting her own identity and destiny frankly, although she can still do those things, it is not true freedom.

It was from then on that he wished she was just an ordinary girl.
