[Shaoyin] like a short-lived epiphyllum

The author has something to say: Tomorrow is another one that can’t sleep in

Hey... I feel tired and won't love anymore.

The new chapter has been completed!

About Yue Ji, Zhang Zi is an existence that I don’t know until now

It's only known from Liu Ying and other guardians

"Your Highness...Your Highness...wake up!"

Someone patted his cheek, Zhang Zi slowly opened his eyes, and saw four small lights floating in the darkness.

"Your Highness, you are awake!"

"Are you okay? Is there any injury?"

Blinking his somewhat confused eyes, when Zhang Zi wanted to sit up, it seemed that the shock he had suffered before that had not completely receded.Seeing Zhang Zi fleeing back again, the ape ghost and the one-horned ghost were very flustered and didn't know what to do, and then burst into tears.

"Wow...Your Highness!"

"I'm sorry! It's all our fault for being so useless!"

Listening to their constant apologies, Zhang Zi sat up slowly covering his head with some headaches, stroking the heads of the ape ghost and the unicorn ghost and looking around.It was dark all around, and the surroundings could still be seen clearly, but it was a little difficult to go a little further.

"what happen?"

Zhang Zi asked with some doubts, after all, it is best not to act rashly without knowing it.Then half of the memories in her mind gradually became clear, and she unconsciously put down her hand while being puzzled.

"Did you...have you ever asked me for help?"

See Zhangzi asking this question.

"Hmm... because I'm abusive."

"So, so... I'm sorry, Your Highness!"

Smiling helplessly, she didn't know what was going on behind her, but when the one-horned ghost told her to run, the ape ghost also noticed it, stood up abruptly and pushed Zhang Zi to the other side, and the direction she was in was just right. A dark shadow passed by.But she, who was in a daze, immediately reacted, stood up and ran, and hugged the one-horned ghost who was running away like rolling at her feet.

"Then, what is that?"

"That's a monster, a guy that even Changhao can't deal with. It's very dangerous!"

The one-horned ghost in Zhang Zi's arms continued.

"We were brought here by monsters, this is the space created by monsters, we can't escape!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zi accidentally staggered a few steps, almost throwing the unicorn in his arms, and then stabilized his body and continued to run.After all, in this era, the woman's physical strength is not very strong, and Zhang Zi, who is taken care of by Aunt Xue and Junko, is of course already panting very badly.

——I will protect you, forever.

The boy's resolute expression and those warm hands holding her flashed in my mind.Zhang Zi's expression was a little distorted, she choked up, how much she wanted to see her now.

so afraid……

"...Chang Hao."

>>>

Ayako looked at a thick rope that bound her, and then at the girl standing in front of her with several serious wounds and torn clothes.She struggled to burn the rope, but it seemed that something had been dropped, and they all bounced back one by one. Although she didn't suffer any injuries, she had a severe headache.

"Stop struggling, should you be ashamed of the power in your body?"

"You let me go!"

Somewhat anxious, Ayako roared at her with red eyes.

"I promised! Protect that child!"

"If I let you go, can you survive the catastrophe with your current ability? Do you want to die again to make her sad? Whether it is the previous life or the present life, you want her to live in regret all the time?"

"..."

After calming down, Ayako no longer struggled, she lowered her head and clenched her fists.What she said was right, she knew it, she always... knew it, she was no longer human.But, even so...she couldn't let go, how could she do it if Dongying was left here alone!

"Ayako, don't..."

She was crying in a pool of blood, so sad.She is not feeling sorry for the human beings she brutally killed, but for the price she has suffered.Obviously she shouldn't be sad because of her, she's not worth it, she's not worth it!

"because I……"

"After this catastrophe, you may never be able to go back."

The figure that the girl showed under the moonlight was none other than Xue Ling who had been by their side all along.The wounds on her body were slowly healing, and Ayako knew it was her fault, in order to help her control her body's reactions.Because she... has been rejecting this bloodline in her body all the time, she doesn't want eternal life, but at the same time she is praying for strength.

"Hmm...I know, but there's nothing I can do about it."

She wants more power, as long as it can protect her every life, even though she...will no longer remember her.

Looking up at the bright moonlight, Ayako's tears couldn't stop flowing out, her long golden hair gradually faded at this moment, and the golden animal pupils were soaked with tears.

The catastrophe is over.

she……

No longer a human being.

sorry……

I can't go to that place with you.

"I have a wish...can you hear it?"Winter Firefly. 』

But that was an unfulfilled wish.

After the beauty under the moon blooms, it will wither the next day.During that short time, even now, she still feels that it is a——

A very beautiful and strong flower.

But very fragile.

It is the most suitable flower for you.

"I miss you so much... Dongying..."

>>>

"Your Highness, come on!"

"Don't let it catch you, Your Highness!"

The unicorn ghost in her arms and the ape ghost running beside her are cheering for her, she can hear clearly, but she really has strength but no strength!Looking back at the phantoms, they seemed to be playing tricks on her, and stopped when they were about to catch up with her.Then he kept a distance, obviously he could catch her by stretching out his paws, but he didn't do that, he just kept playing this childlike chasing scene.

Can not give up!

Zhang Zi kept telling herself this in her heart, if she died here, she would be very sad, and she didn't want to become like that again!All those people who have worked so hard for her have been in vain, let alone want it!

Whether it's Changhao or Ayako, she can't abandon them!

I still have many wishes, I want to fulfill them...!I made an appointment with Changhao to go to Guichuan to watch fireflies.She also wants to know what Ayako said in her last life, how she did so much for her, listened well and realized it!By the way... and Miss Zhangzi, he promised her that he would protect her.She firmly believed that that person would definitely fulfill his promise.

So……

wrong!How can you think so dejectedly!She... still has hope... right, Mother.

Responding to the strong belief in her heart is the Rokka hair ornament that has been placed next to the amulet.It exudes a warm red light, warming Zhang Zi's body, and at that moment a small figure ran out from the hair ornament, he flew behind Zhang Zi, stretched out his hand attentively, and shouted.

"Kagutsuchi God of Fire!"

The flames hit the phantom beast, and the phantom beast was split into two halves by the blow, and Zhang Zi was also stunned because of this sudden incident.The little man exhaled, turned to look at Zhang Zi, and then looked him up and down.

"Nice meeting, Tsukihime-sama's daughter. My name is Enichi, and I am the eldest."

"Ah, um."

It's Tsukihime again...

Isn't her mother Lingzi?

Who is Yue Ji?

Zhang Zi nodded blankly, thinking about it, while the one-horned ghost in her arms was whispering to the ape ghost next to her.There is indeed something different about the Highness they know. They thought so when they met for the first time. After all, the object that the adult guarded is not an ordinary person, so this is why they can easily distinguish the two girls. one of the reasons.

"Now is not the time to be dazed, my strength has not yet recovered, so hurry up and run away now!"

Zhang Zi also recovered from his daze, frowned and nodded, turned around and continued to run forward.Then he fell to the ground as if he hit something, and the unicorn rubbed his own horn in Zhang Zi's arms because of the impact, looking very painful.Zhang Zi closed one eye and touched the invisible wall, rubbing his nose in pain.

It is very hard, and it is absolutely indestructible by her own strength.Then she looked at Yan Yi who was flying beside him. Yan Yi frowned and thought for a while before shaking his head. Their strength originally came from their master's belief.In the past, Tsukihime's words would be inclined to attack them, but the current master - Zhang Zi.

She is too fragile and too gentle, although stubborn.But she is the opposite of her mother, because she has such a heart, so compared to them, their youngest child Liu Ying who is good at healing is the most suitable existence for Zhang Zi.

"Hmm... I can't help it. But..."

Looking at the road behind him that had been hidden in the darkness, Zhang Zi panted violently and lowered his head.The road ahead is already impassable, and the road behind is completely invisible, so if those monsters come again, they can only run to the side.

When she glanced across the invisible wall, she saw a figure, even though her intuition and body kept telling her that it was very dangerous there, and she had to leave here quickly.

There is a man in black standing on the other side of the wall, and the lampstands placed around him, those lampstands are very strange in shape.But Zhang Zi has seen such a formation in the book described by Master Jichang.

"...Children? No..."

Because of the distance, Zhang Zi mistook the girl in white single clothes because she was very petite and had long straight black hair behind her.

When he finally saw clearly, Zhang Zi gasped.Because that pale and distorted face from fear was so similar to himself!

"This...why is it so similar to you, Mr. Zhang Zi?"

Yan Yi's face was full of astonishment, there was actually such a similar person in the world, he remembered that person once said that Lord Yueji only has one child.

Zhang Zi covered his trembling lips, and said the name of the girl who resembled her.

"...Master Akiko..."

>>>

Ever since Zhang Zi was caught here, his beating heart has not stopped for a moment.It was so scary, she was trembling as she stared powerlessly at her eyes, the girl was seriously injured because of protecting her, it was all her fault.

If it wasn't for the voice she answered.

It would have been better if she hadn't said anything.

She was the culprit who seriously injured that girl...

I am sorry.

I am sorry.

With her eyes closed tightly, she was startled by the voice very similar to her that suddenly entered her ears, so she subconsciously looked there.

Someone was calling her name, but the voice seemed to come from her own mouth.She twisted her neck hard, and she saw a speechless figure that surprised her.It was a girl who looked exactly like herself, and she looked at her eyes full of disbelief.

Standing in her arms and beside her were the ghosts who had haunted Abe's house and the red spherical objects floating beside her.

The girl's mouth was moving, as if she wanted to shout something, but it couldn't reach her ears anymore.She seemed to be blocked by something, kept beating, and then opened her mouth again.This time she saw clearly what she was talking about, she... was calling her own name.

It turned out that she was the girl they and the miscellaneous ghosts kept talking about, the girl who entered the palace instead of her.I was brought to this strange and weird place by a terrible monster, could it be that she is too.

As if she didn't want to give up, the girl was discussing with whoever was next to her, and then looked back abruptly as if she had been reminded.When she saw something, she then looked this way hesitantly and then ran to the left.

The moment she looked at Zhang Zi just now, their eyes met.The girl in single clothes just disappeared into the darkness, and even the warm red light emitting from the side was completely invisible at this moment.

And then also at that moment of twilight, she saw a very terrifying monster.That girl, Zhang Zi, she is being chased by that horrible thing.

So... Changhao, does he know?

The thing about that kid being here.

If he knew, he...

Will he still come to rescue her?

Zhangzi's eyes were soaked with tears, her heart hurt so badly that she couldn't breathe.No matter what Cheng Yong said earlier, she could only shake her head horribly, without that young girl by her side, she was just a helpless girl who was still being slaughtered.

"Snake coils appear, hurry like a law!"

The mantra exploded like it was about to tear apart the darkness, and what appeared in front of her was the boy she had always wanted to see.

Tears flowed out uncontrollably, and her heart was beating again, very violently.Not a feeling of fear, but a very happy and joyful heartbeat.

He has come to rescue her.

He... kept that promise.

Come save her.

>>>

"I'm sorry, Zhang Zi-sama!"

Suddenly, the monster came to catch her again. It didn't come just because it had to buffer.

Zhang Zi, who was running away desperately, covered her chest, and her beating heart made her very uncomfortable.Hearing ear ear inflammation's very guilty apology and the loud voices of the one-horned ghost and the ape ghost, Zhang Zi comforted them with a pale and powerless smile.

"I-I'm fine..."

nothing.

Even if something happens, his promise will not change, right?

Zhang Zi who was thinking like this thought of Zhang Zi who was lying there powerlessly, and she looked ahead full of sorrow.The child was terrified, and there was no one else around except the black figure.Where did Ayako and Xue Ling go, why were they not by her side, and why was she brought here.

Is it—

what happened?
