Chapter 5 (Time Shifts (4)) Verse 20: The moon shines for a thousand miles

In the evening, as agreed, Erin and Mie met on the beach by the sea, I did not approach them, but stood on the stone stairs not far away and watched from a distance, I could not hear what they were saying, I could only see that they were not arguing, but talking calmly, after a while, Erin suddenly pounced on Mie, hugged her tightly, and there seemed to be traces of tears on her face, at this time I could faintly hear the subtle crying.

Looking at the two women embracing each other, I looked up, looked at the dark night sky, and sighed to myself, "This city is so dark, there are not even stars".

...

It didn't take long ~ Erin and Mie left the beach and walked up to me smiling, and then two people came to my left and right respectively, one took one of my hands and said "Let's go... Let's go to this sinful night market together."

... Everything came so fast, I didn't have time to react to what was going on, why did two women who should not get along become so good after this short ten minutes of conversation..."What the hell did you just talk about?, why did you two suddenly get so good about it???

Mie smiled, "Mingcheng, didn't I say it... a~secret~makes~a~woman~woman (secrets can make women more beautiful)".

"It's ~ which woman doesn't have a secret, why are you asking so much" Erin picked up Mie's words, "Someone used to say: True love, there is no secret behind it! Don't you think that the person who says this is very ignorant, who understands neither love nor secrets."

Listening to the two women holding my hands singing and harmonizing, I sat down without a number, "Maybe brother is the person you are talking about."

"o(n_n)o haha~ Okay, in fact, the two of us have agreed, and one day we will tell you about the conversation between us at some point, you wait patiently~" Saying that, Mie closed her eyes and rested her head on my shoulder.

I looked at Mie obliquely and asked her with questions, "What the hell is going on now?" I can go with the flow ??? you.

"Of course," Mie said with a smile.

"Oh...".

"Hey~Hey~Hey... Can you two be a little more restrained? I'm still here..."Erin slapped me on the chest.

I turned my head and looked at Irene, who was unhappy but not the slightest bit unhappy, and said, "I'm dizzy, Irene... Why don't we converge, now neither flirting ... I didn't kiss him."

Erin "hum~" and did not refute.

"That's right... Speaking of Erin, what will I do with you in the future?" I was really curious about what kind of relationship I would have with Erin in the future.

When Erin heard me ask, she closed her eyes and rested her head on my shoulder like Mie, "I, continue to be your childhood sweetheart's sister, and your midnight partner, you know... It's only temporary, and the future is not yet known... It's not decided yet."

"Oh..."Facing the two women on the left and right, the only thing I could answer was the word "oh...", because apart from this word, I don't know what words or sentences to use to express my inner joy, I am really too happy, and at the same time too scumbag... Happiness is because after I came to the old city, I had the company of two beautiful women.

The words we have said, the things we have done, the roads we have walked, the people we have met, and every present is our future memories. There is no need to remember yesterday, there is no need to hope for tomorrow, as long as you live every today seriously. Say what you can say, do what you can do, walk the way you need to go, and meet the people you want to meet. Down-to-earth, not indifferent, not wasted, fateful, everything follows fate, maintain a good mood, even if the heart is broken, you must have the most beautiful posture.

In the days that followed, the three of us were inseparable, and Mie didn't continue to dance in the bar anymore because she knew that I had a strong desire for exclusivity and didn't like her dancing sexy and bewitching in front of a group of strange men with colored eyes... She knew that everything she had belonged to me, so even if she wanted to, she would just jump to show me alone... Of course, Irene's going to jump to show Erin when she's there... Since Mie and Erin met that night, she (Mie) hasn't stayed at the bar anymore, and now she's moved in with us, and the three of us sleep in the same bed every night.

Irene and I are both temperamental, often cause trouble in the old city, Meihui is often not safe with us, so we will follow the skills that Hannah taught us, completely teach her, because Meihui has a dance foundation, the actual training is not certain, it can be described as handy, after a long time, the three of us became famous in the old town, I was called by the people in the old city with the osiris I made up before, and Erin and Meihui were also called noir, basically in St. Annaprilli, no one dared to mess with us, when we were at our most gloriousThere are often organizations and gangs that come to woo us, but we don't join any of them.

Slowly~ slowly, 3 years passed quickly, Erin and I finally completed the task given to us by Hannah, we survived, and Mie also knew about it, she knew that I lived with Erin in the old town because of Hannah's orders, so she decided, this time when we went back to church, go back with us, although I don't know what Hannah will think... Will she be kept, but no matter what the outcome, Erin and I will do our best to plead with Hannah, after all, for the three of us, neither of us can do without the other.

...

On this day, we packed our bags, and after deeply thanking Boris for taking care of her over the years, we stopped by the fluorescent bar, because Mie also wanted to say goodbye to her sister, and before we left, Phyllis said to me, "Mingcheng, you have to take care of Mie, you can't let her be wronged a little, you know?".

My reply was, "Sister Phyllis, please rest assured, I swear to you with my life that I will protect Mie, cherish her well, and not let her be hurt and wronged in the slightest."

...

After that, we went back to the nostalgic church, it was a bit windy today, and not long after we walked into the church campus, we saw Hannah standing not far away.

"Yo~ came back earlier than I expected" Hannah looked at us with a smile, "Welcome back, it seems that you have all survived, and you seem to have become a bit of an adult."

"Sister Hannah's head... We're back," Erin and I couldn't help but say in unison.

Hannah looked at us with relief and walked over to us, her gaze resting on Mie, "Who is this?"

In the face of Hannah's question, I wanted to explain to her immediately, but I didn't expect Erin to rush ahead of me and say to Hannah, "She is an indispensable part of our lives, Narukoto's lover, my best friend."

After hearing this, Hannah didn't seem to have much surprise on her face, and only smiled, "Yes... Naruto boy can~ After leaving for 3 years... I also brought a girlfriend back~ I originally thought that you would only have one woman in your life, Erin."

I didn't speak because I didn't know how to say ....

"That's... That—" Erin suddenly became shy, and whispered, "Sister Hannah... What I'm trying to say is... I'm also a woman of Mingcheng."

At first, Hannah thought she had misheard or didn't hear clearly, but after confirming it again, she looked blank and asked in surprise, "Ah... I don't understand, you're trying to say that Ming Cheng has also flown ???."

"Hmm—" Erin didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly.

At this time, Hannah grabbed my collar with a look of annoyance, "I x... Narutoi, you're a bastard, okay... There's enough scum... Good don't learn, learn people's bags**... Why don't you open a harem...".

"That's... Sister Hannah, calm down and listen to me," I begged for mercy helplessly.

"Hello Sister Hannah, my name is Mie, Mihui Levi" At this moment, Mie finally spoke, and she smiled and asked Hannah to introduce herself.

Hannah seemed quite enthusiastic, let me go, and greeted Mie with a smile.

After a brief chat with Hannah, we took our luggage back to the cabin where we used to live... The cabin had been cleaned and looked like Hannah had asked someone to clean it before we returned.

"Narutoko, I have something to say to you," Hannah called to me as she stood in the doorway.

"Oh... Mie, Irene, you help me with the rest, I'll go out with Hannah" I followed Hannah out of the cabin.

...

"What's the matter? I'm the only one to come out," I lit a cigarette and smoked.

Hannah also took out her own cigar and lit it with a puff of "Do you have any gratitude for coming back here after three years of absence?".

"No...".

"Yes, it seems to me that you have changed" Hannah took a puff of cigarette and sighed deeply, "both the spirit and the eyes have become much sharper than before, and it seems that the innocent little boy at that time no longer exists... Everyone... Everyone has changed, they have all changed, only I am still the same, nothing has changed except for my appearance."

"Hannah—" Maybe because I've been away from here for so long, I don't know how to talk to her for a while.

Hannah reached out and patted me on the shoulder, "Naruto... I am the strongest machine gunner in the Marine Corps, but now is the time for me to step down, you are the only person I have recognized so far, and you will take over this title from now on."

I was stunned... After hearing that... I was stunned, and the cigarette in my mouth fell to the floor, "Hannah... What do you say? I'll take over from you, take over the strongest you, and get the title of the strongest that belongs to you?"

"Yes, starting tomorrow, I will send you to the special forces management area, where you will receive more rigorous training from now on."

"And what about Erin and Mie, who are staying here?" I asked, my biggest concern.

"Erin can't leave here, because she's the sole heir to this church, and she's going to stay here and learn a lot about it," Hannah turned to look at the cabin, "As for the girl you brought back... Mie, I'll try her skills later, if she really trains her to be as good as you say, then I'll let her follow you into the army, if she is average, then she will stay here and study with Irene, no matter how you say she is Phyllis's sister, I don't need you to say that I will treat her well."

Hearing Hannah say Phyllis's name, I couldn't help but be surprised and said, "You know Phyllis?".

"Of course, she and I are the best drinking friends, and she used to tell me that she had a sister, but I had never met her, and today was the first time I saw her, and when she said her name, I already knew that she was Phyllis's sister."

"Oh, I see, then how are you going to tell Erin, you should know, she can't leave us, and we don't want her to leave" The thought that I might not see Irene in the future made me feel a little lonely for some reason.

"I'll naturally find a way to talk to her over there, and besides... It's not like you're gone, you can still come back every weekend... You can continue to live happily in your little cabin."

When Hannah said this, I suddenly became happy, "yes, that's pretty good, it's like going to work, and it's a weekend."

Hannah looked at me in high spirits and teased "Hmph~ little pervert, his mind is full of evil thoughts".

"I want you to take care of...".

...

On this silent lawn, Hannah and I had another conversation for the first time in a long time, just as I had just come to the city and stepped into this church campus for the first time, and the familiar feeling came back to me.
