Before you know it, it's evening, and the sea is crashing against the beach, and the warm sun is dyeing the whole beach pale gold. On this romantic beach, a red airship is parked on the shore.
The hatch opened, and a pair of boys and girls stepped down one after the other. The former is lifeless, the latter sullen. This discordant pace can't help but add a touch of embarrassment to the wonderful scenery.
"Farewell, Estelle." Joshua tried to pretend to be cold, "I hope you don't have any more attachment to me." β
Estelle lowered her head, unable to make out her expression.
"I'm really happy to see you again, but we can't be together in the end. Having someone like me by your side will only add to the unnecessary burden, and having you will only get in the way, so"
Yes, although I clearly remember my sister's death and the feeling of killing for the first time, I don't feel very sad.
I'm just an empty shell, a failed puppet, and I shouldn't and don't have the right to ask for anything more.
"You lied"
"Huh?" Hearing such a simple denial, Joshua was stunned and couldn't help but turn around and look at her.
"Now, Joshua." Estelle's voice was warm, "I've heard a lot about you, and I've come to understand why you've disappeared from me for most of the real reasons, Joshua himself didn't notice. β
It was Joshua's turn to bow his head and remain silent.
"Can't be with me because your heart is broken? Even with me, it just feels like someone else's business? Joshua is by my side, and it only adds to my burden? Estelle's voice grew louder and louder, until he became deafening, "It's all a lie!" β
"Lying or something, I didn't" Joshua hurriedly denied, but why are your eyes so flustered?
"No, listen to me first." Estelle's voice softened, "That's just Joshua scared." β
"I always thought that my sister's death was my own fault, and I was afraid that the same thing would happen to me. That's why Joshua chose to leave me that night, and the other reasons were additional. β
"Hehe, that's what I mean." Joshua smiled bitterly and said, "After I was adjusted by the professor, I no longer know what horror is, and I don't have this feeling when I am hindered from carrying out the mission, your statement is not correct. β
"No, I'm not talking about anything superficial." Esther shook her head, "Now, Joshua. Why do you feel like someone else's death about your sister's death? Do you know the reason? β
"That's because I broke down"
"No, that's not the case. It's just because deep down in your heart, you don't want to go back and think about the pain of your sister's death. Unconsciously, it feels as if it's someone else's business. β
βοΌοΌοΌβ This sentence has come to his mind countless times, and every now and then he will always shake his head unconsciously and deprecating himself. Lock it back into the depths of your heart. However, today, the biggest secret in his heart was broken by the girl in front of him who had lived under the same roof as him.
"Just now, it was the same thing that saved me. It must have been a hard time to infiltrate that ship. Even so, Joshua did not hesitate to step forward and escape with me, as if he could not delay for a moment, and wanted to take me out of danger. β
"Joshua's heart broke down or something, there was no such thing. It was just that I was lying to myself out of fear, and I can say for sure now. β
"It's me," Joshua wanted to retort, but after a while, he couldn't continue, he bit his lip and quickly turned away, not looking at her, "Why can you even do this"
"As I've said before, I'm the one who cares about Joshua the most." Estelle's face was full of pride, "I remember everything you do on weekdays. Now that I know about Joshua's past, I'm invincible. Whether it's the professor, or Levy, I'm definitely not going to lose to them. β
"Scared and brave, lying but upright, Joshua my favorite, I can finally convey my heart to you." Estelle took a few steps forward, put her hands under his armpits, wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and pressed her face against his back.
Joshua's body shuddered slightly.
"But I'm ...... It's not just something you're guarding over. If I continue to be a guerrilla, I can't just stay away from danger. But whether Joshua likes it or hates it, that fact doesn't change. Because that's the path I walked for myself. Estelle's hands strained harder, and her body pressed closer to him.
"So Joshua, promise me." She put her mouth to his ear and whispered, "Don't leave me again, let's watch each other and go together." I will definitely be able to become stronger, and I will definitely not become a burden to you. When Joshua was around, I was full of power. No matter what "Society" does, I will never have an accident. So already ...... There's no need to be afraid. β
"Tears, why?" Click, click, teardrops of broken threads snatched out of Joshua's eyes, disappeared into the thin sand and gravel under his feet, he stretched out his palm to catch it as if confirmed, and stared at the water stains in his palms in a daze, "Since my sister died, I didn't use my acting skills but it flowed out." β
"Yes, I didn't see it, oh, it's okay for you to cry like this, I just need to hug you so tightly."
The sound of the waves was still there, masking the boy's low whimper. The warm sunset gradually stretches the shadows of the two, and finally merges into one.
On the deck of the airship not far away, another group of teenagers and girls snuggled up to each other, silently watching this scene with warm eyes
I don't know how long it took, but Estelle's hands that hugged Joshua gradually let go.
"Hee-hee-hee is a little embarrassed." Estelle's cheeks were slightly red, she was an innocent girl.
"yes." Joshua was the same innocent.
"Ah, by the way, this one, I'll give it back to you." Estelle took out the harmonie from her bosom, put it in Joshua's hand, and complained, "It's really a relic of my sister, how can I give it away casually." β
"Well, that's really how rash I am." Joshua smiled and nodded, carefully placing the harmonica in his pocket.
"What kind of person is your sister?"
"Well, this one, although the temperament is very gentle, but it also gives people an awe-inspiring feeling and is very compatible with Levi, I often felt a little jealous when I was a child."
"The temperament is very gentle, and the serious type is the feeling like Kolos?"
"Haha, yes. Although the appearance is different, it is indeed the same type of person. β
"When it comes to it, so is Kross, and the others are also very worried, and you have to apologize when you go back."
"Estelle, I" Hearing this, Joshua looked away slightly.
"I'm not qualified to go back or anything, I don't want to hear it. Becoming a spy for "The Professor" is just done without realizing it, right? And the robbery of the air thieves itself is also to infiltrate the investigation. If you tell your dad about the plan of the "Association", it should be fine, this is the so-called judicial deal, right? β
"I think it's a little wrong, though."
"And if you want to stop the Society's plan, it's impossible to sneak into that aircraft carrier now, right? Of course, the only way to do that is to act with us, and that is a matter of course. β
"Alas" Seeing that Estelle said a little flutteringly, Joshua also began to 'complain', "Originally, if you hadn't been caught, I would have blown up "Ancient Lorias" as scheduled. β
"Hmm, I'm sorry." Esther was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, "Then, the blaster didn't lie to him?" Are you going to kill all the people in the Society? β
"Otherwise, you won't be able to knock out The Professor and Levy. Of course, even if they explode, the chances of killing them are very low."
"Really," Esther let out a heavy breath, "maybe it's a good thing that I've been caught, Joshua almost did something terrible." β
"Huh." Joshua smiled for the first time since setting foot on this beach.
"Ah, look at you like this, you're thinking I'm naΓ―ve right now, right?" Estelle blew up.
"Oh, although I haven't seen each other for a while, it seems to have grown up, but Estelle is really still Estil, I'm really happy." Joshua's smile was pure and transparent without a hint of gloom.
"Ahh
(Oops, I, what's wrong with me, how my heart is beating so fast now seeing Joshua's smile!) Is it because I haven't seen you for a long time............ οΌ
"Estelle?"
"Well, Joshua, you're on good terms with that tomboy, aren't you?"
"Ah, you mean Jost, right? yes, it seemed like I hated me at first, but in the end we got along quite well. β
"Harmony" Somehow, on weekdays, Xuela's ridicule, Lien's jokes, and the advice of her girlfriends all poured out, and the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't help it, muttered a few words, and still couldn't help but ask, "Kiss, kiss?" β
"Huh?" Joshua couldn't help but think of the scene before he sneaked in, the moon stars were sparse, and the blue-haired girl's lips were thin
"Fill me with less garlic, and answer honestly quickly!" Estelle's riverside lion's roar interrupted Joshua's memories.
"Uh-huh" Joshua was embarrassed, feeling that he shouldn't say it, but he didn't want to deceive Estelle, so he nodded slightly.
"Huh?" Estelle's face changed, and he asked uncertainly, "Really?" β
"Hmm." In line with the principle of early death and early transcendence, Joshua bowed his head in despair.
"Joshua Yah!" The sun was long gone, and the clouds were on his face.
"Ai, Estiel, you, listen to me!"
