Curtain 53 The Long Night
The night sky has always been so bright, but the winter cumulus clouds obscure the starry sky. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 When Yutong Shiai and Alice came out of the cave where An Weisheng was hiding, they looked up and could only see thick black clouds lurking in the dark night sky, starless and moonless, shrouding the earth in a dark world.
Yutong Shiai and Alice looked back at the cave. Later, the An Wei brothers and sisters who came back showed a considerable degree of hostility towards the two, so Yutong Shiai and Alice stopped talking to An Weisheng and left the cave.
The night was windy and chilly, but Yutong Shiai and Alice didn't care much. He turned his head to look at the sister who was in the cave with a knife in her hand, staring sideways at him, and smiled. However, it was obviously impossible for the other party to buy his account, so he continued to look at Yutong Shiai with wary eyes, holding the sheath in his left hand and holding the hilt of the sword in his right hand.
It seems that the other party will not let down their guard until they leave.
Yutong Shiai sighed softly and took a step with Alice. When Alice came to the end, she turned her head again and glanced at An Weichun, who was outside the cave and slowly moved the boulder back little by little. She frowned, her right hand caressing Grimmore, who was holding her left hand, and a magic circle flashed across the cover.
There was a depth in her eyes, like an abyss of nothing.
Yutong Shiai didn't notice the small movements of the girl next to her, just walked forward, raised her head, and looked at the sky obscured by dark clouds. Above this sky, the bright moon still exists.
"Alice."
He turned his head sideways and looked at the girl. Alice also looked at it, and the night under the dark clouds was so dark that it was difficult to see the girl's face, but it didn't have much effect on the two of them. Yutong Shiai just saw Alice's clean and clear eyes.
"I'll leave it to you after that."
Alice's eyes moved, and she laughed slightly.
"And I'll talk about what these are going to do."
"It's not like that, it's just that Alice is really good."
Yutong Shiai said with emotion. Indeed, Alice was able to go to the moon so without worries because of Alice's side. It's great to be close friends with Alice.
"So, what are you talking about?"
Alice tilted her gaze slightly, as if she was shy by the boy's overly blunt words, but the fingers of her left hand were pushing slightly on the book. Yutong Shiai didn't notice this, just smiled softly.
"No, it's thanks to Alice that I don't have to worry about those things anymore."
Yutong Shiai's words are sincere. A few days ago, the things of the moon, the things of Fran, the things of Sanae, the things of Forever Pavilion, the things of Furukawa, and the things of An Weisheng, these things came one after another, and he was a little overwhelmed, but at this time everything was clear, after Yutong Shiai entrusted the matter of An Weisheng to Alice, he only needed to go to the moon wholeheartedly.
Alice looked at the other person's face with ease and happiness from the side, his eyes obviously did not have the ability to see through the dark clouds to the moon, but he still raised his head, and his gaze reached deeper and deeper into the night sky.
Obviously talking to himself, but he didn't look at himself all the time. Alice's left hand pressed against Grimmore, as if suppressing some emotion she couldn't explain, into the locked magic book.
"Isn't that a matter of course, I'm the best friend of the Ten Loves, isn't it?"
She bites a little harder on the word "best", as if emphasizing something to someone. Yutong Shiai smiled bitterly after hearing it.
"Sanae's side, I really can't handle it properly, but my best friend is Alice, and that's not going to change."
Alice's eyes were full of contradictions, as if she was satisfied, but also seemed to be dissatisfied. She opened her mouth and moved a few times, but she didn't make a sound, and finally squeezed a smile that didn't have much content. Fortunately, Yutong Shiai didn't pay special attention to the other party at this time, he just looked lucky.
The night breeze blew through the girl's side, and Alice still felt that the wind seemed too cold, even though she was wearing thick clothes.
"What are you going to do with that entrustment?"
She wanted to find something to change the subject. Yutong Shiai is getting closer and closer to the war on the moon, and now is not the time to make trouble for him, Alice did not continue to talk about Sanae in the East Wind Valley, but talked about the treatment of the two siblings she saw just now.
"No idea. If it doesn't work, maybe protect it, if the other party gets into trouble. ”
Yutong Shiai pondered for a moment and said. It's not that he has any objection to this, since there is no conflict between An Weisheng and him, in fact, Yutong Shiai is still a very good talker.
"Protect it."
Alice didn't say anything more. She repeated Yutong's decision and nodded. Then neither of them spoke again, but walked all the way down the monster mountain, over the snow-covered plains, through the cold and damp enchanted forest, and back to Alice's mansion.
After Alice entered the mansion, she opened the workshop and lit the candlestick. Looks like she's going to start making dolls all the time.
"Alice, is there such a hurry?"
He said softly to Alice. But Alice just gave him a blank look.
"I don't know how long you're going to the moon, and I can't do it until you get back. Okay, stop talking, hurry up, Aiji Doll, I've been stuck here for a few months. ”
She said this and sighed.
"Not to your liking."
With that, she looked at the figure she had made before on the shelf on the table, and was not satisfied, so she put it aside, took out a new material, and looked back at Yutong Shiai.
"Hurry up, Ten Loves."
Yutong Shiai sighed and shook the blue clothes on her body. Under the silver light in her eyes, Togo Aihime, who was in a long black dress like night, stood in this Western-style mansion again. Alice's eyes lingered on the girl's body, from the other's eyebrows to the delicate face, and then stopped at the back of the neck with the blue band that restrained the waist-length hair.
"That headband ......"
She spoke, but didn't continue, as if she had some thoughts in her heart, but Yutong Shiai just thought that the other party just didn't want her to tie her hair after hearing it, so she untied the hairband, draped the long hair, and then carefully put the hairband away.
After all, it was something that was given by others, and he cherished it very much. The Omori left behind by Egria, the music box he made with Alice, is still well preserved by him. Alice looked at it, didn't speak, just buried her head, picked up a piece of material, and moved the knife.
Debris flew as Alice's work knife shaved off the material and scraped off the extra corners, and in a short time, a miniature head was made out of Alice's hand. Before Yutong Shiai came over and didn't have time to see the head this time, Alice put it aside, and put it together with the figure that Alice had spent a lot of time making and was also going to be a love Ji humanoid.
"Nope."
Alice shook her head. Her face became serious.
Yutong Shiai was not able to say anything, he looked at the seriousness on Alice's face, and could only sigh silently and stand up straight.
That's the insistence of the humanoid.
Yutong Shiai could only watch Alice's dolls light up the candlestick, and Alice frowned calmly and began to work again. Yutong Shiai sighed and turned her head to look out the window. In the darkness of the world, snowflakes began to fall again. The snowflakes hit the window with a slight sound.
In the living room outside the workshop, the fireplace was burning and the warm heat spread in the room, and Yutong Shiai was standing there, watching Alice work with her head down.
Alice just kept her head down, sculpted, discarded, and remade. Her brow furrowed, and her lips pursed. Yutong Shiai looked at the abandoned human figures piled up on her workbench little by little, and said with some concern.
"Alice, what's wrong with you?"
"No, nothing. Just ......"
Her brows had always been furrowed like this, looking a little too nervous, and she looked at Yutong Shiai with those beautiful eyes, and then picked up a piece of material sent by her own doll again.
"I just want to make Aiki before you go to the moon. That's it, really. ”
She didn't know what she was emphasing, she just emphasized, and then dropped the knife.
Yutong Shiai couldn't continue to stop the other party, he could only sigh like this. For a long night, only the sound of burning in the furnace and Alice's knife echoed hollowly in the mansion.
It was so hollow that Alice's eyes were emptying a little.
