Jacques woke up again, lying naked on the soft bed, the morning light shining on his body through the window glass, warm.

I wanted to raise my left hand to see if the ring was still there, but I felt my arm being pressed, and when I looked down, it was Lily's blonde hair leaning against my chest, which was probably awakened by the action of raising my hand, and Lily murmured lazily:

"Honey, are you awake?"

"Ah, yes...... Yes. It made my hands numb. ”

"Hmph!

"I didn't...... It's the left hand, the left hand can't be used. ”

"Hmph...... For duplicity, I will punish you...... Hee-hee"

Lily let go of Jacques's left hand, but slid into the bed like a fish, burrowing under him.

Jacques raised his left hand with difficulty, and on his ring finger, the ring was missing!

We're out!

The comfort under him interrupted his thoughts, and he reached out to block the sunlight projected on his face, and Jacques breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally over!

Jacques struggled to recall his wedding to Lily, but he only had a vague impression, and according to Lily, he had lost some of his memories due to the after-effects of being in and out of other people's dreams.

With Lily's help, Jacques gradually learns that it is now a few months later, and the adventure through the New World has run aground.

They returned to the city of Reo, where he bought a house facing the harbor and started trading between continents, Nameless and the others became partners, and the two cats returned to Reo together, and Isis gave birth to a litter of kittens.

Accompanying Lily, teasing the kitten, and taking care of the family business have become Jacques's daily routine, and everything has become so quiet and comfortable.

In Ruio, all the past grievances are far away, and there seems to be strife in the empire, but it does not affect Ruiou at all, who is like a paradise.

Nameless and the others became frequent guests in the house, and adopted the kittens born to Fat Orange and Isis, and the only one left was a white cat, which was left by Jacques because of its special coat color.

This little white cat is very attached to Jacques every day, Jacques has liked him very much, he feels that every day passes very quickly, and only when he is with the little white cat can he feel peaceful and comfortable.

Fat Orange sticks to Isis every day, and it's no longer Jacques who follows him wherever he goes.

Lily is also pregnant, and likes to laze on the balcony to bask in the sun, and only the little white cat accompanies Jacques to work, goes for walks, and goes fishing in the harbor every day.

Jacques had wanted to go back to Port Mousse to see everyone, or to York Town to find his father, but seeing Lily's belly bulging, all plans were lost, and he had to exchange letters with everyone.

The occasional reply from Fabian, but it was all general politeness, made Jacques very angry, and it was too much to deal with.

Didn't you say that you would come to the New World after graduation? Isn't Alicia going back to the territory? Is Emma okay?

Others intruded into Jacques's life, they were neighbors, business partners, fishing friends, and slowly he felt no longer alone. Ryo's peaceful life made Jacques forget how long it had been since he had used the source energy.

Before he knew it, their first child was born, and Jacques knew he should be happy, but he seemed to be getting tired and hardly expressing his feelings.

The little white cat scratches the child, and the child's cry attracts Lily, and the little white cat is kicked out of the door by the angry Lily.

Jacques returned home and searched the neighborhood for a long time, but there was no sign of the little white cat.

I wanted Fat Orange to look for it, but found that Fat Orange and Isis had disappeared for a while.

Where did they go?

Sensing that Jacques was really angry about the little white kitten, Lily put down her body and apologized to Jacques, becoming more gentle and virtuous in the days that followed.

Life is calm again, passing in firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Jacques occasionally feels empty, but he doesn't know how to change it.

On this day, Jacques returned home from the office, feeling depressed in his chest, so he stopped and leaned against the wall by the side of the road.

It seemed much more comfortable to stop, and Jacques remembered that this had happened about a time before, and that it would get better when he got home.

But this time, Jacques was forced to endure the discomfort and turned and walked into an alleyway.

The further he went, the more uncomfortable his body became, but Jacques held back and kept going.

I haven't felt this pain for many years, why did you experience this pain in the first place?

What is it?

Jacques struggled across the corners, a flock of crows fluttering in the sky, and a familiar little figure lying on the ground.

Little white cat!

Why hasn't it changed after all these years?

Is it hurt?

A crow fell, mabbled at the weak little white cat, and then took off triumphantly, a little red on the white fur.

A crow swooped down, and the Jacques ninja tried to stop it in severe pain, but his hand was so weak that it was difficult to move another step forward.

How can I not use the Origin Skill?

What is my Source Energy Technique?

The crows fell one by one, and the little white cat was covered in blood and dying.

The past with the little white cat flashed back to his mind again.

Jacques discovers that Lily never shows her face in every memory fragment.

Thinking back to my daily life with Lily, I didn't even have a straight face.

Jacques was shocked in his heart, and a thought flashed:

I'm still dreaming!

Bondage shattered!

Jacques returned to normal, rushed to the little white cat, drove away the crow, and took it into his arms.

At this time, the little white cat was already angry, and Jacques made a final attempt, attached to its ear, and said:

"Lily, wake up.

Wake up, dear!

Wake up, let's go home together!"

The sky shattered, the walls on both sides of the street shattered, the ground shattered.

The whole world shattered and disappeared like a shattered mirror.

Jacques looked down and saw that it was no longer a little white cat in his arms, but Lily in a white dress.

Lily put her arms around Jacques's neck and said weakly, "Where are we?"

Jacques has no ring, but his mind is clear, and he is now in a situation that Fat Orange and Isis never talked about.

Lily wakes up, but the two can't get out of the nightmare.

Everything is gone, and the two stand alone in the dark, not knowing where to go.

Lily raised her right hand with difficulty, stretched out her clenched fist in front of Jacques, and slowly spread it out, and in her palm was Jacques's condensed emergency exit, the ring!

"I had a dream, I became a cat, and there was a woman with no face, and I talked to you, but you didn't understand, and then I could only be silently by your side.

Then I found out that the woman was hiding the ring, and I thought I'd steal it, and I guess it must be important, right?"

Jacques burst into tears and nodded diligently.

"But after I got the ring, I couldn't find you again, I was tired and hungry, I don't know how long I ran, how many places I ran, and then I finally saw you.

Promise me that we won't be separated again, okay?"

"Mmmm, never to separate again. ”

The two of them each held one end of the ring, and Jacques was once again plunged into darkness with a twist of thought.

......

Jacques slowly opened his eyes, and in front of him were two cats looking down on him.

Hurriedly got up and looked back, Lily, who was lying on her head with her just now, also opened her eyes and hurriedly hugged her into her arms.

"Did I really wake up this time?" Lily's voice was weak.

Jacques looked at his left hand, there was no ring!

Fat Orange's telepathy came: "You're really awake." The Nightmare can't simulate the Source Energy Technique, but the conversation between the two of us is true telepathy. ”

Isis nodded as well.

Jacques happily said, "We're really awake!"
