Dereliction of duty · 90 years in the new calendar

Xus: So, you want to change?

Flo hesitated for a moment, and finally said yes sadly.However, even though he was so begging in his heart, he couldn't think of any way.

Xus: ...Speaking of which, don't blame me for being too straightforward.

At first I thought you two were very close and lived together.

After actually observing it, I always feel a little worried.

Isn't what the grown-up said not the fact that Flo is also worried?Even though he knew it in his heart, when he heard such a straightforward sentence, Flo still thumped in his heart, and a sense of desolation and sadness followed.

The empty bed is much harder than the one next to it, and it's actually not very comfortable to lie on. Flo tilted his head and looked sideways at the sleeping person over there. The sadness in his heart grew stronger the more he watched, so he immediately turned his gaze back.

The initial dizziness had subsided a lot, and he sat up, leaning his back against the cold headboard of the bed.He hasn't had a good sleep for four days, but he doesn't feel sleepy, maybe this is the reason why the dizziness comes and goes quickly.

Flo: Where's Master Xus...?

Did you have such a solid relationship with that person from the very beginning?

Xus: How is that possible.

By the way, let me tell you, how was our past?

Maybe listening to it will make you a little happier.

...Is he laughing at himself?Seeing the gentle smile on this man's face all the time, Flo didn't know how to judge.

Maybe everyone has the mentality of listening to other people's more tragic situations to vent when they are sad, Flo gave a ghostly hum.Immediately, he himself became nervous, and when he realized it, he had already grabbed the unopened sterilized pillow at hand.

Xus: It's probably strange for me to say this kind of thing—unlike the talkative guy now, I used to be very quiet.

In order to cheer up people like me, Zor has worked hard.

Flo: Absolutely, can't imagine...

Xus: Sometimes when I look back at the past, I don't believe it myself.

I remember telling you that before, I was not a member of the Demon King’s Palace, but I was on the exact opposite side.

In addition to the previous direct mentions, this can also be seen from his current friendship with Miss Cyn.

He paused, then lowered his eyes, his smile became colder, but it never faded away.

Xus: ...

I, like you, am a "die once" person.

And the experience is very similar.

By the way, hasn't this place been talking about tearing it down recently?

Flo: Hmm...

The day before yesterday, you mentioned that this has something to do with me.

……then?

Xus: I don't want to see the tragedy repeat itself.

--cough.

You know, at first my feelings for Zor didn't fit words like "like" or "love" at all.

The meaning of his clearing his throat is always enough, but since the lord has changed the topic, Flo will definitely not get any results even if he asks—at least the "current" himself can't, under the influence of the sequelae, he has already It's hard to argue with people anymore.

Counting how many times it was perfunctory...?I don't know if I will have the chance to know in this life.

Flo knew this adult three or two months ago. When they met, they had already trusted and relied on each other quite a lot.

Originally, he was quite curious because of envy, but it was impossible for Flo to expect to hear about their past in this form in today's situation.

Xus: After the "Sacrifice Ceremony", I was picked up by Zor and returned home. At that time, there was no such thing as the Devil's Palace, it was just an ordinary small house.

When I was a child, I was never treated gently in the village, so when I first faced the guy who just smirked and played the guitar from time to time, apart from doubts, I basically had fear in my heart.

Afraid to face it... Flo understands why he said earlier that "the experience is similar".

It's like trying to peek at the person next to you just now, but you turned your gaze away because of fear.It has been several years since I met Mr. Sui, and I am really afraid all the time.

Obviously, when taking care of him these four days, he had no scruples... Maybe it was because he was covered by anxious emotions.

Xus: ...I'm afraid that sooner or later, he will "also" abandon him.

Flo: ("abandoned"...)

(What a terrible word.)

(I've been through it.)

That... At least for now, you "love" him very much, right?

What prompted your, emotional shift, for...?

Xus: Well, I'm luckier than you.

He suddenly reached out and touched Flo's forehead, measured for a moment and murmured that you have a fever too.He also accused not only of lack of sleep, but whether all the care of his body was used on others and ignored himself.

Master Xus' hands are not wide, but they are warm.The palm stopped for a moment and then went all the way down until it covered the eyes.

I don't know why, the tiredness that has been unaffected has embraced... and went up...

Xus: Good night.

You have worked hard.

After placing the person and covering him with a thin quilt, Xus stood up and prepared to go out.Before opening the door, he glanced at the room one last time, and said softly:

Xus: Zolf is different from you, he knows what it means to accommodate.

... You can continue to pretend to be asleep, I will come back later.
