age is not a problem

Naples, a seaport city in southern Italy——

When we arrived by car, it was almost dusk, and the setting sun reflected warm golden halos on the sea full of boats, which looked so peaceful and peaceful.

Kiyomi just leaned against the off-road station on the coast, quietly drinking the canned coffee in the cup, while looking at the sea.

She is not unfamiliar with this city. When she was very young, before her parents divorced, her family lived in this city.When she was almost in primary school, she followed her mother to settle in Bari, another big city in southern Italy.

Like many old cities in Italy, it is still the same as it was many years ago, nothing has changed.What has changed is her.

"Unfortunately, the port is closed today and we have to wait until tomorrow to take the boat to the Lipari Islands."

Nicole, who had just gone down to the coast to find a boat, came back, shrugged and said.

Qingmei wasn't upset at all, she just threw the empty coffee can in her hand, and it was thrown into the trash can with precision, "Then stay here for one night first, and then go to the island tomorrow."

"It's easy to say... Now is the peak tourist season in Italy, and Naples is a famous tourist city. It may not be so easy to find a hotel with vacant rooms."

"Then trouble you to look for it slowly, I'll go shopping first, and call me when I find it."

After speaking, without giving Nicole a chance to react, Qingmei waved her hand and walked away on her own.

Nicole: "..."

……

A church by the sea—

The scale of the church is not large, but it makes people feel solemn and simple and has gone through the vicissitudes of time. It has stood on the coast of Naples for hundreds of years.

Pushing open the heavy door, Qingmei walked in slowly.

Mom, do gods really exist in this world?

Why do I ask that?

Because it has never helped me realize any wish, I have to rely on myself to get whatever I want... just like I have said over and over again, 'God, please give me a little turtle', but in the end It took me a month to mow the lawn in my yard before I earned enough money from you, mom, to buy that little turtle.

If you want to get something, you have to give something. This is a very correct thing.God is not used to make people want too much, it is more like a benchmark used to restrain you, so that you can have a clearer judgment

I don't quite understand... Then, Mom, does God exist?

You feel it exists, then it exists, because 'God' exists in your heart.There is a 'god' living in everyone's heart, and that is the truest self in everyone.If you don't know how to choose when you encounter something, just listen to the voice of 'God'.

In the front seat, the young woman and the little girl were having a mother-daughter conversation.Then, the figures of the two gradually blurred and blurred, and finally became a phantom that disappeared in the air.

Qingmei smiled with the corners of her mouth curled up, and let out a sigh of relief... Really, she will always recall things when she was very young.

It is said that memories before the age of six are difficult to preserve clearly, and she really can't remember too many things from her childhood.But every time she worships in this church, every time she talks with her mother, she still remembers it vividly, especially when she revisited the old place.

Walk forward step by step, go to the place where the memory phantom just disappeared and sit down.

It's still the same bench, it's still in the same position, and even on the back of the chair there is still a small flower carved with sharp pebbles by the naughty girl she was when she was young.She remembered that what she wanted to carve at the time was violets...but since she was a child, she had no artistic talent, what she carved out was a bunch of ghost things that she didn't even know what it was.

But at this moment, she was the only one sitting on this bench.

Sitting upright, he slowly closed his eyes.

Maybe thinking, maybe reminiscing, maybe just emptying yourself in this sacred and memory-filled place, meditating silently.

I don't know how long I've been sitting like this...

"Sorry to bother you... But, the church is about to close."

A gentle female voice sounded.

Qingmei slowly opened her eyes, only to see a delicate woman with dark green long hair standing beside her, reminding her gently.

There is also a small orange petal under the left corner of the woman's eye, which adds the finishing touch to this beautiful face.

When she entered the church just now, she noticed this woman.Sitting quietly in a corner and praying, there is a bodyguard in a black suit standing beside her, waiting every step of the way, looking like a big lady.

But at this moment, with the other party standing in front of her like this, Qingmei inexplicably felt... a little uncomfortable.

It's not that I hate this woman, on the contrary, this woman has too beautiful eyes.It's not the pretentious white lotus beauty, but it makes people feel that she should be so beautiful, the kind of beauty that makes people respect, she deserves it.

And what makes Qingmei feel uncomfortable is that, as a person with many shackles and layers of fog in her heart, she doesn't like the feeling of being seen through... This woman seems to be able to see everything clearly, even Predicting the future is also called destiny.

"Thank you, I see." Qingmei replied in a calm and waveless voice, unable to see what emotion she was feeling at the moment.

The woman smiled, "I just saw that when you closed your eyes and prayed, little sister, you frown together from time to time... Take it easy and listen to your heart, maybe it will turn around from time to time."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to have already noticed Qingmei's instinctive guard against her, and the woman didn't say anything more, she simply said goodbye, and then called the man in black suit beside her to leave.

……

After leaving the church gate——

"Princess, why did you talk so much to that little girl just now?" γ asked aloud.

Youni turned around and looked back at the church, "Because I have a hunch...that little girl will have a big disaster in the near future, I hope she can get through it safely..."

After finishing speaking, he and γ walked towards the nearby parking lot.

In the parking lot, I happened to pass by Nicole who had just parked here and got out of the car.

Nicole walked hurriedly towards the church.

When I was about to push the door of the church, I happened to meet Qingmei who had just come out of the church.

"After thinking for a long time, I guessed that you would come here...why didn't you answer my phone and let me look for it for a long time." Nicole asked anxiously.

Qingmei calmly took out her mobile phone which was set to silent mode, and there were indeed several missed calls, but then she gave Nicole a big blank stare, "Mobile phones are not allowed in the church, this Don’t you have any common sense? If the call you made just now made your cell phone ring all over the church, you should go to the gods to atone for your sins now, you.”

Nicole: "...", the words were so reasonable that he was speechless, well, he must continue to maintain his diamond-like patience.

"Have you found the hotel?" Qingmei yawned, indicating that she was very tired.After sitting on the plane for more than ten hours, I got off the plane and drove all the way from Rome in the middle to Naples in the south. The nine-hour time difference between Japan and Italy in summer has not been adjusted yet, so she is really a bit confused. I can't stand it.

"I found it, two single rooms next to each other." Nicole replied, but his attention was not here at the moment, he looked up at the church, "I remember the last time I came to Naples, you also Came to this church. Then took that letter and cried quietly in it alone, so quiet that no sound came out, and that was the only time I saw you cry."

Qingmei smiled self-deprecatingly, "My parents' duty is to save people, but to a certain extent, my duty is to kill people... It's really ironic."

"Are you regretting what happened two years ago? Speaking of which, if you hadn't done this two years ago, you wouldn't have been expelled from subin. Now, you probably have at least reached the rank of captain , or even break the rules of military promotion, it is possible to award you the rank of major.” While speaking, Nicole casually glanced at the shallow scar under Qingmei’s left little finger, then turned and walked towards the parking lot Go, "Of course, if you hadn't done that at that time, I probably wouldn't be standing here now."

……

Vengley Headquarters——

"Is the Lipari Islands? It's not very far from Palermo... If it can be confirmed, then without delay, I will go there tomorrow." Tsuna said after thinking for a while.

Irie, who was standing in front of the desk, nodded, "Yes, after many researches, the original stone that can eliminate the influence of this seven-cubit variation light on your body is on the Lipari Islands. As for whether there is any For the effect, you still need to test it yourself.”

Li Baoen on the side said: "Gang, the most urgent thing now is to restore your body to its original state as soon as possible, and other things can be temporarily put aside. And this time, Yamamoto will go with you to protect your safety. .”

"I see, I hope everything can get back on track as soon as possible..." Tsuna said while looking at the key chain on the table.
