"...the kingdom of heaven..."

When I said this sentence again in a drunken tone, I was no longer in the water, but the same as before I just entered the water—to be precise, I changed my posture a little bit, stretched out like a dead dog Spread his hands and feet, and threw himself on the deck chair by the pool in a "big" shape.

Incidentally, the phrase "the kingdom of heaven" has a double meaning.One of them is the ordinary "Here is happy like a fairy", and the other is "I almost ascended to heaven just now".

After a hearty water exercise, many deck chairs are neatly lined up on the edge of the swimming pool. Various people and non-human creatures are laid out in various postures and patterns, forming a unique and beautiful landscape.

Among them, Qing Guang is wearing a pair of sunglasses resembling a fashionable actress, and is skillfully applying sunscreen to her fair and delicate skin; An Ding is holding a brightly colored children's water gun, and is happily facing the big brothers who are playing in the pool One by one, he was dragged into the water by his brothers after 5 minutes; and on my left and right sides——

"Hahaha, that's right. This is really bliss, bliss."

"Hahahahaha, that goes without saying!! Don't even look whose paradise this is!!!"

——On the left is the amiable Mikazuki Zongjin, and on the right is the approachable golden local tyrant P. The two elderly people who have taken care of their lives sit side by side.The same hearty laughter sounded from the left and right sides at the same time, turning into a lingering stereo surround sound, playing in my ears in a loop.

Gilgamesh was still the same as before, shaking a bright goblet full of champagne in his hand, every drop of light yellow wine was clear and transparent, reflecting the attractive luster similar to money in the sunlight.

The three-day moon cup is also filled with a clear light yellow liquid, which looks like wine at first glance, but I took a closer look and found several decorations floating in the cup:

Chrysanthemum, wolfberry, and honeysuckle.

... so healthy.

"What's the matter, bastard? Keep looking around."

Yu Luozheng and Jeanne alter them playing beach volleyball in the water (of course, Joan only used one finger when exerting force), Miriyue watched with a smile, and leaned over to talk to Yura from time to time.Gilgamesh was probably tired of laughing "hahahahaha" alone, so he threw the conversation at me abruptly and said:

"Ha, let me guess. Could it be that you are obsessed with this king's perfect body, are you dumbfounded?"

"Ouch!!"

I almost squirted out the juice in my mouth one meter away, and moved my butt back in a hurry: "I dare not dare, I just take a casual look."

"Hmph. It's not bad for you to know humility in general, but it's also very boring to be trembling and timid in front of this king. This king vaguely feels that this attitude is very similar to a person with a small heart. The bearded man in the suit..."

Gilgamesh rested his hand on his forehead, closed his eyes and meditated like an old man accustomed to forgetting.

"It's strange. In the records of this king's spirit foundation, he should have never met that kind of man."

"No, this..."

Isn't that Tohsaka Tokiomi? !Isn't it the tragic master who is mature in thinking, sharp in tactics, and spends a lot of money to summon the King of Heroes, but because he can't make him happy (?), he gets stabbed in the kidney? ? ?

Although I don't hate Tokiomi-san, and I sympathize with what happened to him, I don't want to experience Tokiomi's ending no matter what! !I hope the tragedy can end in his generation, please! ! !

"Forget it, it's nothing important."

Fortunately, Gilgamesh soon got tired of the memory, casually raised his hand and waved it at me casually.

"On a rare summer day, I don't care about your gaffe. You too, it's rare to have a remarkable face, so what's the matter with frowning all the time? Even if it's a priceless gem, If it has been buried in the soil without modification and polishing, it is nothing more than ordinary rubble."

"Eh."

Because of the unexpected lines I had never heard before, I couldn't help raising my brows even more in astonishment: "You said my face... what?"

"?"

This time Gilgamesh also showed a look of surprise, "Why, has no one ever praised your face? Although you are not an all-powerful beauty, it is far from the beauty of this king... ...However, as an ordinary bastard, it can be regarded as pretty."

He paused for a moment, then narrowed his sharp red pupils slightly, stared at me thoughtfully and said:

"Heroic spirits are nothing more than that. Their standards of vision are different from ordinary people. However, if you have never been praised by humans for your appearance, it can only mean two things."

"Two...?"

"One is a good thing. It means that you have been living in an environment where people are judged not by their appearance, but by their ability or character, so no one judges your appearance. Your familiar, your partner in the workplace, is probably the same .As for the second..."

"—Bastard, have you never been 'loved'?"

"........."

Suddenly, some chaotic fragments flashed through my mind.

Almost without hindrance, I immediately understood the meaning of the words of the King of Heroes.

It is said that "the son of the diarrhoea is good at home", generally speaking, the elders in the family always regard the young children as the jewels in their palms, and the more they look at them, the cuter they are.

Except for a few special races who firmly believe that "beating is a relationship, scolding is love", parents, relatives and friends who come to visit, will hug their children and boast a few words: Oh, my baby is so beautiful , you see this nose looks like dad, eyes like mom...

If the child is already good-looking, then naturally, it will be exaggerated every minute by the adults who can't put it down.

But obviously, I have no such memory.

"I... am I pretty?"

I held my face, which I had always thought to be ordinary, in both hands, feeling lost for a moment.

As Gilgamesh said, if this skin is enough to make him look differently (it is true, after all, he cannot spread "the king's favor" everywhere like coins, and Elizabeth, who was sexually harassed by him back then, is also a radio beauty Girls), then so far, it is really strange that "no relative or elder has praised me".

Of course, I know why.

"Yes. I really... haven't been loved by a 'family' other than the ability."

I lowered my brows and narrowed my eyes, hiding my eyes behind the drooping bangs and the delicate glass in my hand, knowing in my heart that my expression at this moment would not be good-looking.

"I haven't seen 'family' other than my mother since I can remember. Even the mother who raised me has always hated my face, let alone praised me for being beautiful."

——[Alone].

——For me, that was the "reality" before I awakened the power, and it was also the curse that I couldn't get rid of in the nightmares in the past.

In the memory of living together day and night for more than ten years, like a stranger who has no blood relationship, my mother has always faced me with a cold face that lacks expression.

There is no mercy and no complaint.

There are only holes in the mother's dark pupils, as if all emotions and vitality have been evaporated, reminiscent of deep pools without waves, dry wells, and empty wastelands after wildfires.

And it wasn't until she disappeared without a trace that I was able to understand the reason for her indifference by joining the Supernatural Secret Service Division and reviewing case files and notes.

Until then, I didn't know 【Mother hated me all the time】.

(Even so, I still want to see her again and have a good talk with her. Otherwise, I will never be able to like myself.)

(My mother left without saying goodbye, she must have been involved in something. As long as I continue to track down the criminals in this city, one day——)

"Hate the child's face? What a strange mother... No, wait a minute."

Gilgamesh responded lazily, then suddenly fell silent, then took a deep breath and said:

"I see, is that the case? Little girl, you—"

"..."

I subconsciously buried my head between my knees because I didn't want to hear his subsequent conclusions.

"—You really are a bastard with a rough life. But, what is this!!!"

"what?"

It seems that it is not the same as the imagined speech? ? ?

"What, a dumbfounded look on your face? Do you think this king will sympathize with you? Will you laugh at you? Big mistake! This king has fully understood the reason why you stand still and belittle yourself! It is on this basis, This king will make the king's verdict!!"

I was overwhelmed by the King of Heroes' unbridled arrogance, and was speechless for a moment. I could only listen in a daze as he laughed arrogantly and defiantly:

"Fortunately, you are still a fan of this king and Enkidu, don't you even understand this truth? Listen, Yumu Qian!"

"Who and why you were created has nothing to do with 'what kind of person you want to be'! Since you have already chosen your own path, why bother with the ashes of yesterday? You idiot, Enkidu has done such a small matter of turning his back on the Creator thousands of years ago!!"

"——————"

...ahhh.

What a deafening statement that is, I thought.

This great king is indeed not a pure and funny character who can only hahaha as soon as he speaks. Even if AUO is a sand sculpture, the mastery and wisdom hidden behind the sand sculpture is enough to shake the heart.

(...Uh, this doesn't seem like a compliment. Forget it, it doesn't matter. The king doesn't care anyway.)

"Jill, did you call me?"

Just when my heart was surging and I couldn't be more moved, I suddenly heard Enkidu's soft and laughing voice.Then all I felt was a darkening moment, and a green head with long flowing hair popped out from the edge of the huge parasol above our heads.

"Enkidu? Why are you up there..."

"Ah, sorry."

Enkidu hangs upside down lightly, and the long hair tied into a ponytail dangles in front of my eyes like wicker.

"Just now, I heard the Master talking about your past with Jill, so I was a little concerned. If the Master doesn't want me to know, I can only apologize to you."

"Where, this is not a shameful topic. It's just that I was afraid of disturbing everyone's good mood, so I never found the time to speak."

I shook my head hastily, "And as I said a long time ago, because of you, I am no longer as troubled and entangled as before. Except for my mother, I don't care about the family love in the sense of blood, because my 'family' is by your side."

That's right.

Although I still can't fall in love with myself without any worries, I can now believe that my life is by no means useless.I stand here not only to give an explanation to my past mother, but also to protect my future life.

"Yes, because everyone is—"

Then, I felt the familiar heat cover the back of my hand.

The Cave King seemed to be formed in the shadow behind him, quietly approached and stretched out his hand, his pale five fingers brushed across the back of my hand, and the rough palm touched lightly like a dragonfly on water, and then separated again, holding each other vaguely My hand kept a restrained, close but not intimidating distance.

When I looked back, I happened to bump into his steady rock-like eyes, just like the first time I met a few years ago, unwavering and unchanging.

And the words he said in a deep voice are similar to Enkidu's lively opening words just now, and they are also the mantra that the Cave King said when he was first summoned and has been on his lips for many years.

Although talking too much has been played into a meme, but listening to it at the moment, it is still as moving as ever.

"Cy.—did you call me?"

"..."

According to the usual routine, at this moment I should answer "I didn't call" or "I called everyone" to argue with him.

But by accident, the moment I met his determined gaze, I blurted out an answer without thinking:

"Well. I called..."

Boom! ! ! ! !

The last syllable was still in my throat, and I only heard a loud bang, and the whole parasol was overwhelmed and pressed down on me! ! !

No, is Enki so heavy? ! !

"careful!"

The Cave King didn't even bother to talk to me anymore, and immediately dragged me away without thinking about it, avoiding the heavy object that fell to the ground in front of him.

Then there was the dull sound of "plop", "plop" several times, which was painful to listen to, Joan of Arc alter, Hotaru, and Yura for some reason, one after another fell straight to the ground from the top of the parasol.Although they all took a defensive posture in time, the incident happened suddenly, and they still knocked firmly in the end.

By the way, Luo had Joan of Arc's soft body as a pad, so she didn't bear the impact of the fall at all.Now she greets me dazedly:

"Sister Qian, I'm sorry...we didn't mean to eavesdrop..."

"Everyone...you, when..."

Careless!Because there are too many friends playing in the pool, I didn't notice it at all! ! !

"I just want to ask you!!"

Jeanne Alter reacted extremely quickly, and turned her face extremely quickly. She didn't mention the fact that she and everyone secretly listened to the wall, and she couldn't help but beat me up and said:

"After you agreed to solve the case, tell us about your past, but we still don't know anything, so you just talked happily with outsiders?! What a joke!!"

No, that.Gilgamesh is a family member of Enkidu, and my (potential) benefactor should not be considered an outsider in theory.

Having said that, I knew I was wrong, so I shrank my neck and said, "I'm sorry, alter kiss. But look, you all heard it too..."

"Who can understand, you two weird riddles that come and go! Tell me clearly, Master, what is going on with your mother? Why does she hate your face?"

"Why, why, isn't this a matter of course?"

Gilgamesh took the conversation with a bored expression.

"There is probably only one reason why the mother hates the youngest son. In addition, this little girl has never met her father, and now she is running around to eliminate evil deeds. The answer is naturally obvious."

He turned a blind eye to Joan's suspicious eyes, and looked back and forth between me and Enkidu, who looked concerned, and finally restrained his smile, and spoke as if on a whim, but also as if full of foresight.

"Exactly. It's rare for this king to be happy, and I will give you a small reward as a reward for your determination to betray the Creator. This king can foresee that sooner or later you will be with your 'origin' and the 'one that completely disrupted your life. The event' is directly opposite. Moreover, that event may be related to the reason why this king appeared in this world."

"At that time, this king will grant you a chance to ask for help. It is up to you to decide whether you want to use this king's strength or treasure."

Joan: "Wait, so what kind of case is that..."

"—it's human trafficking."

I answered lightly.

Incredibly, I found my voice strangely quiet.There is no gunpowder of anger or hatred in it, it is a kind of tranquility after anger has settled and frozen, like a lake surrounded by ice and snow in a dormant volcanic crater, dormant for ten years, waiting for an eruption that has been accumulated for a long time.

Once thought to be a disaster that can crush the soul, once it is said, it is actually nothing more than that simple.

"..."

The Cave King held my shoulder without saying a word, and I raised my head to thank him with my eyes, and at the same time whispered "It's okay".

There is no more pain in my heart.

I won't suffer from this anymore.

For it was never my fault to be born in this ugly, sin-stained form.

"More than 20 years ago, my mother was the victim of a human trafficking case. To this day, the leader of the gang has not been arrested."

"My mother once took me to escape from birth, hiding her name and keeping a low profile, but she disappeared again a few years ago, and there has been no news since then. Later, I joined the Secret Service. In addition to my illusory ideals, one of the purposes was to find her The whereabouts. Another purpose is to find the criminal gang and my unknown father."

"—Then, I will send them all to prison, or to the guillotine."

The author has something to say: Q: I understand the truth, why the quality of parasols is so good and it has been so long

A: Because it is Wang's special parasol!

Regarding Sissy's past, this is the last mainline dungeon.Compared to solving a case, it may be more like fighting|black?Because it is black, the plot of Hong Kong black (what tongue twisters) will also involve Wenye is not very dark!Believe me!

Qian's heart knot is very simple. After her mother disappeared, she learned that her mother had been a victim of abduction and guessed that she might be the child of the perpetrator.Because she knows that it is difficult for her to have an ordinary "family", she cherishes her abilities even more; because she cannot save her mother who was a victim, she will desperately save those who can still be saved.This is her origin.
