"In short, you are brave!"

A pair of clear eyes stared intently at the young girl who was connected to the pearl-like raindrops outside, and made this summary.

“…… Actually, I was too scared to move. Before you wake up. ”

After a moment of hesitation, I finally said the same.

For some reason, I just didn't want to cheat on her.

Maybe she just doesn't want me to be different from me in her heart.

Hey, an honest person like me will be kicked out of the house by my mother-in-law in the future......

"No, that's just the power of the 'realm'."

For some reason, the girl's face, which had always looked a little melancholy, turned her head and looked at me earnestly.

"Pulling the spirit of others into the 'realm' of consciousness created by oneself can not only be used to launch virtual and embodied attacks, but also to use one's own consciousness attributes as the foundation to exert extreme emotional erosion that ordinary humans cannot resist."

No wonder after the girl's starfall, the world returned to normal!

If I had given him a little more time, I was afraid that the fear of the Stygian Sea would have been injected into my mind again, and I couldn't help but rejoice when I thought of this.

"Oh, by the way, did you go to elementary school in this city? … Looks like you're about to enter junior high school, right? ”

In the conversation between us, I gradually relaxed from the absurdity of the collapse of reality, and finally switched my mind to the daily mode, looked each other up and down, and asked with interest.

For some reason, when she heard my question, the girl's expression suddenly became gloomy, and she turned her face away and said sullenly:

"An uncle like you would only feel suspicious!"

My face twitched, and I was just trying to fight for my legal rights for my age, and my eyes reflected the sad silhouette of the other person looking up at the marshmallow-like clouds that had stained the night, and for some reason, I suddenly lost the interest in justifying.

"Now, have you heard of the legend of Medusa?"

In silence, she asked.

Is it ...... anyone who sees her turn into a stone statue? I thought so.

But she didn't wait for me to answer, but said to herself:

"Wearing a wide black cloak, walking among the crowd."

"No one knows who she really is, because anyone who sees her for what she really is, even if it is not what she wants, has to be turned into ignorant stones."

Delicately carved from mutton fat white porcelain, she tells a story to the sky like a work of art, and her voice is cold and thin.

"But maybe it's all a lie......"

"She is a gorgon, a bewitching beauty, unique in the world. Even among the aliens, it is still weird and ugly. ”

"Countless snoops and malice are the sword of Mercury hanging above her head all the time, and once discovered, danger will be entangled like a curse."

"So cruelly turning the innocents who have seen her true face into stone, just to selfishly push herself out of danger."

A disgusted smile appeared on her cold face, and the corners of her lips seemed to curl up, and she chuckled like nothing.

"What a pathetic man......"

I leaned against the stone wall behind me, looking up at the gloomy sky, and sighed.

"That's what you think?"

The girl never seemed to expect such an answer, so she let out such a surprised sound.

"Of course, in the huge world, there is no one who knows the real self, isn't this pitiful enough?"

I casually folded a withered grass leaf and put it in my mouth, and said it as a matter of course.

"Nietzsche said that there are three states of the solitary, the gods, the beasts, and the philosophers."

I spit out the dried grass and shook my head.

"But she was denied even the right to be alone."

"The Spirit is lonely, because He is full of self-reliance; The beast is lonely, because it is not inferior; Philosophers, on the other hand, are both self-reliant and rebellious. ”

"They subjectively chose loneliness, and they reaped loneliness."

"She was objectively rejected by the whole world, and reality did not give her a chance to choose, so she could only wander outside the world......"

The girl looked at me quietly, and after a long time, a smile of unknown meaning appeared.

"It's wonderful...... It's a lie. ”

"Thank you, though."

She was so sincerely grateful.

I was silent.

"Why do you think that?"

Looking down, I looked into her spring-clear eyes floating with ice crystals.

"Are you scared?"

She stood up, her pale skirt fluttering in the breeze, her slender figure facing away from me.

She had struggled to speak before, but for some reason she regained her strength in a short period of time, strolling in the drizzle, like a fairy walking in the Garden of Eden, her pure and immaculate eyes reflecting the world.

"Forget about me."

"Can I have a choice?"

The hem of her skirt swirled slightly, and she turned to look into my eyes.

"I'm willing to accompany you and remember your savings."

I said solemnly.

"Mortal danger, both for me and for you."

"I'm not going to talk to anyone."

I raised an eyebrow slightly.

"A secret that is known is no longer a secret."

Her slender palm caressed my cheek, and her delicate face showed a gentle expression.

"What is put in the heart is like the words written in a book, not as unreadable as ordinary people think."

"That's really ...... It's a pity. ”

A wry smile of helplessness appeared on my face.

"Forget about me."

Again, she whispered.

My eyelids drooped, opening again and again just as they were about to close.

"You...... Anything else you'd like to ask? ”

The tip of her small nose pressed against my forehead, and Rulan swooped across my cheek.

I stared at her thin jade face.

"Your name?"

Silent, not knowing what she was thinking, her breathing paused, and a faint voice:

"Autumn Hitomi."

Then a deep sleepiness enveloped me, the world darkened, sound and light were stripped away, and I curled up......

……

In the night, the girl stared at the sleeping man.

There was a sigh of noneness drowned in the sound of wind and rain.

"Death, part of the thoughts attached to your arm that has not been completely erased and returned to your body, you will be very energetic for a long time to come, and I will be cheeky enough to take these as my gifts......"

"We ...... It is probably not possible to meet again. ”

End of Volume 0

In fact, it can be regarded as a prequel, or an extrane.

The last chapter took me a long time to get the emotion I wanted.

By the way, there is one more thing that has to be mentioned-

That sentence:

Are you scared?

My initial premise was...... said.

When I looked at it again, I found that it seemed to be a little unclear.

But suddenly I felt that the speaker was vague like this, but it was actually quite meaningful.

If this sentence is uttered by either of them, different meanings will be derived, so that's it~

Let it be up to the person watching the story......
