People in Mond, arrogant sun, not hated

Because it will all disappear from my mind afterwards.

Knowing that curse would only put a look on that pretty face that made both of them sad.

So just don't say it.

And as if vaguely guessing something, Noelle sighed lightly, and——

He bowed deeply towards Elmes.

Said lightly but firmly.

"Then...Senior, thank you for being the "Guardian" until now."

The words are sonorous and forceful, every word.

"Thank you very much."

--------

【Why choose me】

【Why do you trust me】

【Why are you still smiling】

"Even if you are still indecisive in your heart, or afraid of failure, don't worry, just go and do what you want, Noelle."

"If you fall into hopelessness and bottomless darkness, no matter how many times, as long as it is the right thing, I will respond to you as a [miracle]."

Even though his body was covered in blood, the figure standing in the dark still smiled and spoke.

【Who are you】

"I -- I am the one who replaces your father and will always protect you and Mond."

--------

He obviously didn't want to show this appearance, but his eyes were still blurred with tears.

The warm back that carried itself out of the snow mountain in the cold.

A hero of the shadows who braced herself in the dark and gave her courage.

Or the person who keeps laughing and playing in daily life, who has been secretly guarding and promoting her growth.

Right now.

But the present feelings and memories will be forgotten and cannot be remembered.

This is really too sad.

Be it moved, sad, or lonely, all melted together like ice cream with different flavors.

But the girl still tried her best to control that emotion, and she also didn't want to make the person in front of her feel hurt.

Meek people also feel sad when they see others cry.

So Noelle, don't cry.

The girl raised her head.

He showed the same indifferent smile as usual.

"Senior, this gloomy expression doesn't suit you at all."

Elmes' expression froze for a moment, like a disconnected puppet, a smile flashed across his mouth for a moment, whether it was gratification or bitterness, but all these emotions were thrown away one by one .

The cold face is because he doesn't want to have any feelings for his next memory.

Because that is a job destined to be unpleasant.

But the next second when he looked at the picture and tried his best to squeeze out a smile.

A feeling of emptiness welled up in my heart.

Sure enough, it was really a bad job no matter what the outcome was.

Maybe he didn't even notice what his expression looks like now.

Also at this time.

The girl laughed, winked at him playfully, and pointed at Ying, who was just eating melons.

Ying: Σ(?д?lll)! !

"Speaking of seniors, it's unfair to say why the honorary knight doesn't need to have his memory deleted even if he knows it."

Ying: (=_=)

When will this child be able to say something like jealous.

Elmes was caught off guard for a while, he raised his brows, and subconsciously explained something as if comforting him.

"She is just a little stronger than you."

Noelle instantly understood.

I see... Power is the [condition].

"You... Forget it, it will be eliminated anyway."

Elmes seemed to realize something, and sighed helplessly after realizing it.

Lightly tapped the little maid on the head with a hand knife, and said angrily.

"Heh, you want to relieve me? You are 2 years too early."

Being taken care of like this makes people a little angry.

But ah-

"...The sun is about to set, so...good night, Noelle."

"OK, good night."

Very normal.

Sun Knight held up the spray.

A figure fell down.

The unconscious Noelle fell gently into his arms, and fell asleep peacefully like the Sleeping Beauty in a fairy tale.

Elmes smiled helplessly.

Under such circumstances, I would still be comforted, and I would be forgiven and accepted by the victim for doing such an excessive thing. This is really a ridiculous shit situation.

But it doesn't feel bad.

huh~~

"I always feel that the deviation between this child and the original is getting bigger and bigger, but it's really gratifying that it won't turn into a bloody drama with crying and fussing! As expected, I watched him grow up——"

The words stopped.

Suddenly, I don't know what I saw, and the purple pupils shrank in an instant.

He blinked his eyes, frowned in a half-smile, and finally turned into bitter absurdity.

He bit his lip and said softly with some nerve-wracking.

"You idiot, how many times have I told you..."

Some gratified and lonely voices echoed in the room.

"Small moves.... Keep it a little more secretive."

On the armor made of hard steel, there are two crooked characters clearly inscribed by strange force with nails.

【Become stronger】

I want to be able to stand by his side.

I want to be someone who can respond to miracles and expectations, and let that person look back at me.

Wanting is more than being guarded.

A small determination has planted a seed, and although the flame is small, it will not be wiped out by any storm.

The girl said softly at the last moment.

"I hope that one day in the future, I can also protect important people."

----------

Mona: Miss Noelle's seat of fate is the [Heart Protector], which symbolizes the help and protection that touches the heart. What extends from the most gentle heart is a firm determination like a rock.

Zhongli: Well, in terms of universal rationality, indeed.

Elmes: ...What are your cameos?

Chapter 249: There will always be sadness in life that cannot be washed away by tears

Entrusting Noelle to the queen, Elmes finally turned his attention to the most troublesome person.

Even after witnessing the scene just now.

There was still no movement or wavering, the ice-blue figure just looked at him with a complicated expression.

Yura said softly.

"...I just want to ask one thing, Elmes, isn't it the first time my memory has been erased?"

Without hesitation, Elmes nodded.

And Yura bit her lower lip tightly, trying to hold back the desire to scream.

"Why——those things... I don't remember at all, the hazy time in my memory a year ago, if you think about it carefully, there are a lot of vague blanks."

Unlike Noelle who experienced this for the first time.

If the former situation is like straightening out a mess of headphone cables, it only clarifies distorted misunderstandings. In the end, it is nothing more than completing all incoherent impressions and truths.

Because I know what Elmes really did and what he helped me, the favorability will increase and reverse.

But Yura didn't feel that way at all.

A piece of her memory was directly blank, and even knowing the true identity of the hero of the night did not increase her reverse favorability like Noelle.

Because she doesn't remember anything.

Whether it's love, regret, or sadness, the memories that connected them in the past have all disappeared like cherry blossoms.

She didn't understand what Elmes said to herself.

Because the past is forgotten.

I don't understand the feelings and past behind those words that night.

Because the memory is empty.

But the most unacceptable thing is that even if everything has been forgotten.

But that feeling of loneliness and emptiness still persists for a long time.

It's like a thrown iron ball will still be pulled by that [inertia] after losing the power to throw it.

What she feels now is like a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder watching a pothole appear in the flat ground that she can't fill anyway.

She felt sad, and she didn't know why she was sad, so she didn't want this sadness to turn into tears and flow out of nowhere.

So... that's sad.

Spray Rider asked the sun.

"Ermes, tell me, what kind of expression should I face you?"

Looking at the glittering and translucent tears in the corners of the girl's eyes.

Uncommonly, Elmes actively avoided other people's eyes, and his purple pupils dimmed in the shadows.

Knowing and seeing many things in this world is not a good thing.
