[Through Middle-earth BG Lord of the Rings Fans] A Different Life Das Leben der Anderen

……

Faintly, I heard the sound of the stream flowing in my ears...

Could it be that I died again?

……

"...don't cry anymore..."

This voice again...so familiar...

"……do you hate me?"

Why is it familiar enough to make me want to cry...

"...play me another song, will you?"

...what the hell are you...

"...Conan, goodbye."

……

I remembered...

……Oh it's you

How could I forget you...

...Xilion

……

Slowly opening my eyes, I saw the white marble dome. I stared blankly at the beautiful pure white pattern, unable to recover...

"you're awake?"

A gentle female voice sounded in my ears, I turned my head slightly, and saw an elegant elf beauty standing beside my bed, looking at me kindly.

"..." The dream just now made my brain a little bit overwhelmed, and I couldn't understand the current scene...

"It's all right now, you are safe now, don't be afraid."

"……"Afraid?Safety?

……correct!

My blunted mind finally recalled that scene, and I sat up abruptly and shouted: "Go and save someone! Haldir...cough cough cough..." My throat was sore after I hadn't spoken for a long time. I couldn't help coughing because of the noise, and when I sat up too violently, I felt bursts of pain from the wound on my waist, so I didn't know whether to cover my mouth or my waist.

"Hehehe." The elf beauty looked at my slightly funny form, and smiled with her lips pursed: "Don't worry, Haldir is fine, our cavalry just happened to find you while patrolling near the troll forest, and He was besieged by orcs, so he rescued you."

After finally alleviating the severe cough, I pondered what the elf beauty said, and I became dazed——

...Haldir, why did you choose to stay at that time?why are you doing it for me...

"Haldir must be your very important friend. When you were unconscious, you kept muttering his name."

"..." I, I, I, I...

Looking at the banter in the eyes of the elf beauty, I felt that I would not be able to wash myself off even if I jumped into the Yellow River.

So I put on a flushed old face, closed my eyes and fell back on the bed, pretending that this conversation never happened.

……

For the next five days, I spent most of my meditation time in bed, refusing to go out—I was definitely not hiding from Haldir, who was injured because of protecting me that day, absolutely not—and I was told by the beauty Ao Dai I saw on the first day Rhea came to take care of me.King Elrond came to visit once, but maybe it was because it was too long, or maybe it was because my appearance was too common for them. In short, King Elrond didn’t think at all that we were not meeting for the first time. The sign is really blessed by the Buddha!

"Conan, look, the scenery outside is very beautiful." Odelia smiled and stood by the window, looking at me who was holding a basket of fresh strawberries on the bed and eating non-stop.

I trembled my eyebrows vigilantly, and paused with my hands—are we going to start again?Odelia once a day "swears to stop Conan from continuing to stay in the house and chatter big battle".

"Your injury has been recovering for a while, but you are still so spiritless and pale. I think you should go out for a walk and get more sunshine. It will be very good for your recovery. You What do you think?"

"……"I think?I think it is very comfortable to stay at home like now, especially when fresh fruits and vegetables are delivered every day...

"Remember the lookout balcony I told you? Not only is it sunny there, you can see several waterfalls flowing through Rivendell on the opposite cliff, and there are many rare flower species that only bloom in Rivendell around the balcony. It's beautiful."

"..." I know that your place is a tourist attraction, with picturesque scenery and spring-like seasons, but I haven't planned to go out and let you elves look at me as a human being with the eyes of a strange species.

"The blueberries and berries planted there are already ripe. If you go there, you may be able to eat enough. Unfortunately, you refuse to go out." Odelia said in a regretful tone.

"..." My stiff face was cracked - blueberries... berries...

"Rivendell has good weather and rain all year round. Under the protection of the Ring of Wind, the grain is plentiful. The fruits and vegetables are sweet and juicy, and the fruits and vegetables outside are simply incomparable. And the blueberries here are even worse than Galadriel of Roselorian. It’s a delicious product that Madam sends people to pick up every year.”

"..."Sweet...juicy...a great product...

"It's such a pity, it's rare that you come to Rivendell, but you can't taste the most delicious fruits and vegetables here."

"Stop talking!" I quickly interrupted her—why? !Why didn't she play the cards according to the routine today? !How did she see my fatal weakness? !However, don't think that if you say that, I will obediently go out!I am not an unprincipled person who is easily led by others!

Odelia smiled so much that her eyes narrowed: "How is it? Do you want me to show you around?"

This guy……

I gritted my teeth and replied, "...OK."

——My principle is: as long as it is for eating!Other principles can be put away...

What's more, you may not necessarily meet a certain elf... right...

……

cheated.

——This is the only feeling I have sitting on the balcony bench at this time.

I glanced slightly at the elf next to me out of the corner of my eye, and wanted to scream up to the sky in my heart.

Saying a few minutes ago——

I was dragged by Odelia to the legendary scenic spot that is rich in flowers and fruits——Looking at the balcony, looking east and west to find blueberries that are said to be loved by Mrs. Galadriel, a person who logically should not be in At this time, the figure that appeared in this place came into my eyes.

"..." Looking at the blond figure sitting on the bench with his back to me—even though he wasn't wearing the usual strong clothes, how could I have mistaken that figure—my first reaction was to choose a strategic retreat , so he planned to turn around and run away quietly.

"Oh, look at me, I forgot to take the medicine you need to drink at this time of the day." Odelia suddenly cried out inappropriately.

"..." The medicine I drink every day...why I didn't know there was such a thing...

"But it happens that your friend is here too. Let's chat first, and I'll be right back." Odelia smiled and patted my shoulder, then slipped away ignoring my hand that wanted to keep her.

"..." Why did I have the illusion that someone dug a hole and pushed me down...

Turning around to look at the familiar figure again, I took a deep breath and walked over.

"Okay, what a coincidence, Haldir, you also come out to bask in the sun? Doesn't your health matter?" I greeted the elf in front of me a little uncomfortably.

Haldir just turned his head slightly, gave me a meaningful look, and then turned back in silence.

And I was really embarrassed to just leave my savior and walk away, so I had to keep a distance from the elf and sit on the bench...

……

"Haldir..." I hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help opening my mouth, but what I was about to say made me unable to pretend nothing had happened, "I'm going back to Bree."

"Probably not right away, but..." I added quickly.

Haldir was silent for a while, and then calmly replied: "Is your injury still not healed?"

"It's all right now, and it should be fine after a few days of rest..." I bit my lip and asked softly, "How about you? How is your injury?"

"It's just some minor injuries, nothing." Haldir said lightly.

"..." I suddenly didn't know how to continue, should I apologize?thank?still……

Instead of going on like this and causing him to get hurt again sooner or later because of me, it's better to just push him away now.However, what should be done?Just shake off his hand fiercely and say "It's impossible for us, never see you again"?Or caress his face affectionately and say "I love you, but I can't give you happiness, so I decided to let you go"?

...It seems that none of them apply to the relationship between me and Haldir... And this line sounds so...

I took a deep breath and was about to say "we will never see each other again", when there was a sudden noise from the bushes not far away, I immediately stood up vigilantly and looked over - even though I knew it was in Rui Wen Dale's move was completely unnecessary, but the recent experience did make me a little nervous-then, when I was hesitating whether to go over to check, two, three, four, five or six purple-red plums came to me one after another. My head hits—

"This, this, this, who did it?!" I shouted holding a few plums that fell into my arms.

Before I could react, I saw Haldir striding towards the bushes, and quickly pulled out two elves from behind... the same elves——

"You, you—" When did these two guys hide here? !Have you been eavesdropping? !

Seeing that they had been exposed, the two black-haired elves hurriedly straightened their clothes, and bowed to me pretendingly:

"Elaidan son of Elrond—"

"—Iroho—"

"We are happy to help."

I stared blankly at the two tall and handsome elves in front of me—they really are exactly the same...

"Are you the rescued human? We heard a lot of rumors about you, and finally saw you today."

"..." There are still rumors about me... Is it true that a human being among the elves is as obvious as a duck among geese...

"You know, when everyone heard that Haldir was injured and brought back, Rivendell was all boiling."

"And he was injured in order to protect humans."

"Female human beings." Yiluohe added.

"Yes, female humans. This has caused the heartbreak of many elf maidens in Rivendell."

"After all, Haldir is very popular."

"Very."

"So, if you don't want him to be snatched away by other women, you must..."

"Do it as soon as possible!" Irojo and Elaidan suddenly said in unison.

"...What are you talking about?" I looked at these two elves who seemed to be too idle and flustered with slightly speechless and tangled eyes.

"It's nothing, they're here to look for me," Haldir stepped forward and grabbed the twins' back collars from left to right, "I'll take them back right away."

I watched the figure of Haldir grabbing the twins and leaving, and I could hear the three of them joking from time to time...

...Haldir, when did you have such a good relationship with Gemini?Still popular?Isn't Haldir from Lorraine?

I hugged the plum in my head and thought hard on the spot.

"They were playmates when they were kids."

"Oh, that's it!" I suddenly realized, "...Huh? Wait, who said that?" I immediately turned my head——

Wow!What a dazzling elf!The blond hair shining like the morning sun, the wise and clear eyes, and the sunny and confident smile, the youthful breath that does not match the age at all... I seem to know who he is—an elf I missed the chance to meet in Gondolin— — Lord Glorfindel of Jinhua.

"...Hello." I spit out two words in a daze.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine, this kind of weather always makes people happy, doesn't it?"

... really familiar.

"...Wait, you said, they are playmates?" I returned to the question just now.

"Yes, Haldir's father was the captain of the guards of the two brothers Irohe and Elaidan until she married Rivendell from Lorraine, and their sister lived in Lorraine after that , They often went to Lorraine to see their sister, and they met Haldir, who was about the same age as them, and Haldir would occasionally come to Rivendell for Lady Galadriel, so the relationship was naturally good."

"So it's like this..." I nodded slowly.

...Wait a minute, I seem to have heard something just now...

Irohor and Elaidan's mother, was that not Celebrion?Her captain of guards...

It should be... no...

I turned my head to look at Glorfindel stiffly, and asked uncertainly, "Captain of the guard?"

"That's right," Glorfindel nodded, "Lidal, the captain of Celebrian's guard, was able to return to Lorraine safe and sound thanks to Lidal, who fought against Irejan that year."

I didn't listen to what Glorfindel said later, my brain was shocked by the news I just learned——

Lidal? !Is that the guy who guards me all day like a thief and comes to provoke me? !Haldir, is that his son? !

...Ah, but this finally solved the mystery of why Haldir has such a bad personality. It turned out to be a genetic problem.Lidal's attribute of finding fault with me no matter what seems to have been passed on to his son.

ah!Genes, what a wonderful thing!

"However, what is the relationship between you and Haldir?"

I looked into Glorfindel's gossipy eyes—

Look at the way this guy smiles, how wretched and wretched he is. It's really blinding his handsome face, and then think about what the twins said just now, and Odelia's actions... These elves, don't they really have nothing to do? , so you only think about these things?

"My relationship with Haldir..." I said slowly, "It is the most indestructible relationship in the world."

——The relationship between the savior and the rescued!If I have the ability, I will definitely help Haldir fulfill a wish he wants to achieve in the future, even if that wish is as impossible as making Glorfindel shut up!Thinking, I nodded firmly.

Glorfindel's eyes widened in surprise, and he even stuttered: "Really, really?!"

I looked at him, blinked my eyes for a moment, then nodded greatly.

Glancing back at the already setting sun, I patted Glorfindel's stiff shoulders, turned around and walked towards the room with the plum in my arms.

Glorfindel was left alone, petrified in the wind, muttering to himself: "They have already obtained the certificate..."

The author has something to say:

The last sentence is purely funny, I don't quite understand how elves should become civil partnerships...
