Chapter 6: Return to Bekas
"Flame ......"
Li Bai looked at the sad and crying girl sitting at her feet blankly, and was a little overwhelmed for a while.
She wondered if there was something that the other party couldn't think of...... But this kind of situation was really unexpected by her, and it was the first time she had seen a girl crying in front of her when she was so old.
Who...... Who's going to tell her what to do now?
"That...... Flame? She barely managed to squeeze out a smile and cautiously approached the other party.
After hesitating, Li Bai stretched out her right hand and put it on Tianguangyan's back, and after feeling that although the other party trembled, she didn't say anything, she breathed a sigh of relief, and began to clumsily learn to caress apricot on it in her usual comforting appearance.
"Don't be too upset, ...... Actually, how can I be as good as you say...... Right? ”
"Just when you envied me, I probably didn't think that I was also envious of you."
"Envy me? I have nothing to envy. ”
Tianguangyan shook her head, it was obvious that she didn't believe what Li Bai said at all.
"You're on the look...... White. She stood up, wiped her eyes casually, and then stretched out her hand to pull Li Bai up.
"Huh?" Li Bai looked at her suspiciously, unable to figure out what she was going to do, but was ...... She was about to say something when a cold, slender hand touched her face.
This...... This is? The girl was completely stunned by this action, and her body stiffened and could not move.
“…… It's exactly the same, right? ”
Tianguangyan gently stroked Li Bai's face, and gently spit out the name of the place every time he touched it.
"This face."
"This eye."
"This nose."
"This lip."
"And this hair...... We all touched the same thing, there was no difference. ”
She gently helped Li Bai comb her somewhat messy hair, but the words in her mouth became faster and faster with her movements.
"Flame!" Li Bai felt that her love had not only not improved much...... On the contrary, some of the fluctuations were more violent, and I couldn't help but shout.
Her instinctive feeling was that it might get worse if it went on like this, so she had to do everything she could to stop it.
"Even this pajama, I received the same projection! Look! Tianguangyan pressed Li Bai's shoulders with both hands, straightened her body and looked directly into her eyes.
"Don't say it......"
"Look at me!!" Her hands on Li Bai's shoulders became harder and harder, and she was a little painful when she pinched it, "Look at my eyes!" Take a closer look at the reflection in each other's eyes! ”
"Our ......" Li Bai was forced by her momentum, and involuntarily listened to her words, so he looked directly into the other party's eyes.
There was a cute girl with long snow-white curly hair that was staring at her intently...... Ruby-like sparkling pupils...... It's exactly the same as Skyglow.
…… That's herself.
"See?" Tianguangyan also looked at his own reflection in the pair of crimson eyes on the other side, "All of us are exactly the same, whether it's hair, face, height, even clothes!" ”
"But there's one exception."
She stretched out her hand again and stroked Li Bai's left cheek, and after gently brushing it, she went straight through the cover of the soft hair and touched the girl's delicate earlobe.
Tianguangyan looked at the five-pointed star earrings that shone with golden light that fell into her palm, and her smile became more and more bitter.
"It's yours alone, right...... White. ”
It was an earring transformed from a star badge, and its prototype was the star badge that the seahorse took from Li Bai's wrist after she stunned her.
After leaving Bekas Island and returning to Tong Shino Town, Li Bai deliberately went to the seahorse to ask it back, and then transformed it into an earring, hanging it on the left ear every day, usually the game and others can't see it, just because the thick snow-white long hair covers it.
"I said before that I envy you, and that's not just to comfort you, Flame."
Li Bai held the hand that reached to her ear and calmly looked at the girl opposite who was almost exactly the same as her.
"The fact that you're able to stick to your ideas even when you've lost your memory is the most admirable, even though it does bother me a bit...... But I want to say that I don't regret agreeing to give up some of my body control time to you in the first place. ”
"You say you envy me, but you don't realize that you also have what I don't have."
"I have ...... What you don't have? ”
Tianguangyan looked at her puzzled, she didn't know what she was worthy of the other party's envy and didn't have.
After all, in her own eyes, she is like a wanderer, and her only value other than adding chaos seems to be to be a thug...... Can this also be counted?
"Absolutely...... I still remember how you felt when you guided me to call out the dragon. Li Bai only closed his right eye at her, and smiled playfully, "It's the first time I've felt such a powerful soul fluctuation, you know, that feeling is really amazing, at that time, I could feel part of your willpower...... It was from that moment that I began to admire you—if I were alone, would it be unknown whether I could call it out? ”
"White ......"
"As for the attitude of the others, I don't want to wake you up, right? Someday, your existence will be known to them, and I don't believe they will treat you in a completely extreme way. ”
"So don't look like this, Skylight Flame! Don't show this sad look again, restore yourself to the original you. ”
The white-haired girl rushed back half a step and half-knelt down in front of the other white-haired girl in front of her.
"Didn't you say you were a princess......
"Then let me become a knight to protect you!"
The two didn't say anything more.
Time seems to freeze at this moment.
The picture freezes and sublimates into eternity.
================================
"Poof—that's what she said then?"
The lion wizard couldn't help but burst out laughing, and it shook twice in mid-air, but finally didn't hold it up and fell to the deck, rolling around laughing.
"yes...... Seriously, he said that he wanted to protect me~"
Skylight Flame leaned on the fence with a smile, letting the salty sea breeze blow her long, snow-white hair flying around—it was her turn to take control.
"You two are ...... souls"
Li Bai's angry voice sounded in her head, and she really couldn't stand the behavior of these two guys selling teammates.
"What's so funny about that! Can't I protect you!? She clasped her hands to her chest and mocked, "I don't know who cried at my feet like an abandoned puppy that night!" ”
"Is it just you?" Skylight Flame held back that strong smile.
"It's the first time I've seen ...... There are knights who need the princess's protection, ahhahahaha! ”
Speaking of which, she couldn't hold back any longer, and leaned directly against the railing and laughed.
Obviously...... She refers to the situation that Li Bai had to temporarily replace her to control her body to get through the difficulties when she was in danger - I have to admit here that she was actually very right......
"Shit~" Li Bai gritted her teeth and looked at the smiling monster, she felt that her kindness was all fed to the donkey, "You guys just laugh slowly!" I don't care about you anymore! ”
"Huh?" Tianguangyan finally stopped laughing, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go and rest." Li Bai's voice came, and it was a little blurry compared to what he heard just now.
"I've been playing cards for the past few days or I'm thinking about this trip, and I haven't slept well...... Anyway, wake me up again when you get to Bekas......"
Li Bai's voice revealed a little tiredness, it was indeed like what she said, she had never slept well for this incident, and she didn't sleep all night last night. Compared with this trouble, the incident at the maid's café was quickly extinguished in the tide of turmoil, and she was a little out of breath due to the overwhelming doubts and support.
That's right...... The ship had been sent by Becas to invite her to the island, and after an overnight voyage, it sailed through Friday and into the early morning of Saturday.
Although she was the only one who was invited on the surface, she was not the only one who boarded the ship, and in order to demonstrate the fairness of the trial, anyone was welcome to attend the meeting, and seahorses, games, and others were also on this ship, and there were many more duelists who were interested in it.
Becas seemed to have anticipated the out-of-control situation of the number of people, and had already thought of a way to solve this - the biggest difference between these people and Li Bai was that they had to buy ferry tickets.
As the central topic of this incident, Li Bai couldn't sleep at all, she stood on the deck all night, and when she was really bored, she argued with the lion wizard, and it wasn't until the east was white that she really looked a little sleepy, so she directly exchanged the control of her body with Yan.
The early morning sun swayed on the sea level, reflecting the constantly colliding and surging waves reflecting a bright and sparkling color, and the sky light flame turned around and lay down on the fence, quietly watching the waves staggered and impacted, producing a touch of snow-white foam; The chirping of seagulls sounded in her ears, and every qiē seemed to be renovated, bringing her unprecedented feelings.
"The sea is so beautiful in the early morning......" she reached out and brushed aside the strands of hair that was blocking her vision, looking at the rare scenery in a daze.
"I don't know if there will be a sea in my unknown hometown......"
Tianguang Flame once again fell into deep thought for his mysterious background.
After a long time, she seemed to remember something, and asked out loud: "White? Have you rested? ”
"White?"
“……”
She reached out and gently stroked the earring hanging from her left ear, and waited patiently for a while.
There were still only the sounds of waves and seabirds, and it seemed that the girl was really asleep.
"Hmph...... I went to bed at such a time, and don't blame me for letting me say it again. ”
After pondering for a while, she opened her mouth softly and whispered out a sentence like a thief.
“…… Thankyou。 ”
