First encounter
With the progress of civilization and the rapid development of human science and technology, the natural environment is constantly deteriorating. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is especially true in cities where large numbers of humans live. Thereβeven the clear skyβseemed to be degraded.
Even if humanity begins to remedy it, the sky here will never go back to the past.
As I walked through the streets of Kyoto, I couldn't help but sigh at the bright and beautiful night sky as the stars lit up.
"Ah, what a rare night."
For decades, I thought the stars were extinct here, but I didn't expect to see such a beautiful night today, which is really surprising.
I sighed, put my hands in my sleeves, and moved on.
"Now, Lianhua. Aren't you going to come out and enjoy this rare night with me? β
"No need. I'm tired of seeing this kind of scenery in other places. β
I was the only one who could hear the cold female voice, she continued.
"Besides, you shouldn't have the time to look at this now, but start thinking about what has been delayed for a long time."
"Oh, don't be so impatient, isn't there still some time."
I didn't care at all how strange it was to the way I was talking to myself, to the eyes of people passing by. Just replied nonchalantly.
"Shouldn't I think about something so important?"
"You've been thinking about it for a long time!"
Lianhua's voice could not hide her resentment.
"Since thousands of years ago, you have started to talk about thinking about it, and until now, even if Jie'er says it can help you, you still have to think about it.
I see that you are very free and easy in other things, why is this matter so procrastinating. β
"Hey, Jie'er, that little girl didn't say she wanted to help me."
Thinking of the conversation with Jie'er at the beginning, I couldn't help but pout and said.
"Besides, even if Jie'er is willing to help, who knows if things will go so smoothly. If something goes wrong, it will be miserable to drag you in, so I'm still thinking about it. β
Lianhua couldn't help but get angry.
"Shut up! I've said it all, I'll go with you when I die, what are you talking about! β
I muttered.
"Forget it, I don't want you to be unlucky with me, and even if I'm really unlucky, I can't die."
"You ......"
Although I can't see it, I can imagine it with my hair, Lianhua must be so angry that she can't speak now.
Although I'm not afraid that she will be verbose because of this, I am quite afraid that she will get angry and hide.
It's been together for so long, if you suddenly can't hear her verbosity, and often be her, or complain to her. That kind of life, I really feel uncomfortable thinking about it.
In order to prevent Lianhua from being angry and running away, I hurriedly comforted her.
"Well, anyway, even if I think about it again, I won't be able to think about it for long. And I don't have any other world to go than that. So you don't have to worry, let me keep grinding a little more. β
Lianhua's voice sounded very angry.
"It's better if you dare to do it to them. It sounded good, but in the end he ran away by himself, don't blame me for not letting you go. β
"Hey, hey."
I replied, ignored the sound of Lianhua's muttering in my ear, and moved on.
Speaking of which, there seems to be a scenic park in the vicinity. It just so happens that the night is good today, and I'm a little tired from walking, so go there and sit down and enjoy the night.
β¦β¦
The park is not far away, and although I haven't been there, I quickly got there by looking at the roadside signs.
Before I could find a comfortable place to rest and enjoy the night, I felt as if I saw someone familiar.
"Xiao Zi?"
I was a little surprised to see the little girl who was crouching on the side of the road, looking at the families passing by, especially those with children and parents, with envy on her face.
Because it's too much like Xiao Zi, if I hadn't understood that the naughty and arrogant Xiao Zi had already grown up and become the sage of Gensokyo, I would almost be mistaken.
After looking at the little girl who looked exactly like Xiao Zi for a while, I couldn't help but be amazed again.
Because not only does she look exactly the same as Xiao Zi at the beginning, but even the aura on her body is somewhat similar.
- That's the breath unique to the realm!
Although compared to purple, the aura of the realm is faint and almost imperceptible, but it is indeed correct.
After looking at it for a while, I finally asked.
"Lianhua, do you know that little guy?"
Because it is world consciousness, as long as Lianhua wants to understand the things in this world, she will definitely know.
Of course, I've never liked to ask her about that, because I tend to see it for myself and find out about it, otherwise life would be too boring.
But this time, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's just a matter of asking about the family situation. I don't want to play tailgating and find out.
Lianhua's chattering voice was silent, and after a while, when she spoke again, her voice couldn't help but be helpless.
She knew me very well, so she guessed what I was trying to ask at once.
In addition to nagging me and Jie'er, Lianhua has always spoken concisely, just a short sentence, and there is no superfluous information at all, but it also lets me know what I want to know.
"Maari Belle Hearn. Orphan. β
"Orphans......"
I sighed, and I couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the little girl named Maari Belle Hearn, who looked exactly like Xiao Zi.
Although I could see the child's eyes on passers-by and understand that her family situation must not be very good. But I didn't expect it to be an orphan.
It's pitiful that such a young child is an orphan.
Anyway, now that she's alone, it's better to help her.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but nod.
Mm-hmm, go help her.
Lianhua was keenly aware of my thoughts, and her voice became even more helpless.
"Hey, do you want to be so soft-hearted? Obviously, your own affairs haven't been solved yet, but you look at the pity of others and want to help her, when will you be able to change your hopelessly rotten good people's problems. β
"Don't call me a bad person."
I am very dissatisfied with Lianhua's description.
You know, I'm a super devil, and I hate it when people call me a bad person.
Not to mention my past experience, in this world, I have a lot of blood on my hands, both directly and indirectly.
"Hey, I'm embarrassed to say that I'm not a bad person. Tell me, when did you do it for yourself?
Hmph, don't think I don't know, as long as it's about yourself, you're generally running.
Only those family members who endanger your past will do it.
As for killing, no kidding. With your bad character, in addition to the fact that the other party is really heinous, he also takes the initiative to trouble you. You're going to kill people! β
Me: "......"
Damn, I have to admit that after being with me for so long, Lianhua really knows me too well.
Too lazy to waste saliva arguing with her, I walked straight to the girl.
Lianhua despised me for a moment, but was a little surprised to find that I was actually walking directly towards Maaribele Hearn.
"Hey, you don't just want to go up like this and adopt her, do you?"
"What, can't you?"
Lianhua was speechless.
"You're stupid! If you don't get to know her first, just go up and say that you want to adopt her, and she'll promise you! β
Unlike Lianhua's speechlessness, I am very confident.
"Don't worry. With my charm, even if it's just the first time I've met, it's okay to adopt a little girl.
Hmph, just like the children I raised before, but almost all of them are like this. β
Lianhua was dumbfounded.
Because what I'm saying is the truth!
Striding up to the little girl named Maari Belle Hearn, I smiled kindly at her and began to abduct her...... Ahem, wrong, it should be the first and last step in the adoption plan - sell yourself!
"Now, little girl. I'm homeless now, can you take me in? β
Lianhua's voice popped out, and her tone was convincing.
"If you're like this, she won't agree!"
The little girl didn't refuse as Lianhua said, she just looked at me blankly, blinked with big eyes, didn't agree, but didn't refuse.
I smiled and held out my hand and asked again.
"Little girl, can you take me in?"
The little girl finally reacted this time, her cute crooked chin, and then her little hand grabbed my fingers and nodded vigorously.
"Hmm!"
Lianhua: "......"
The guess failed!
β¦β¦
After successfully selling myself to the little girl, I first went to a small shop nearby to buy something to eat, and then I squatted on the side of the road with her to install tree stumps.
Handing her a piece of candy, I asked.
"Little girl, what's your name?"
"Maari Belle Hearn."
The little girl peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into her mouth, the sweet taste of which bent her big eyes into a beautiful crescent.
"You can also call me Merry, that's what Renzi calls me."
"Lotus seeds? Your loved ones? β
I'm a little confused. Didn't you say that it was an orphan, and where did the lotus seeds appear.
"It's not."
Melly shook her head and ran to the trash can to throw the candy wrapper in her hand before running back to answer my question.
"She was my classmate, the only good friend I had at school."
It dawned on me that we were friends.
Seeing that I understood, Melly smiled sweetly, and as she laughed, two cute little dimples appeared on her somewhat emaciated cheeks, which looked so cute.
"What about you? I told you my name, and you have to tell me too. β
"Of course."
I smiled and rubbed Melly's hair.
"My name is Chen An, and I am a traveler from the Celestial Empire. Because there is nowhere to return, I can only rely on Melly to take care of it in the future. β
As soon as I finished speaking, Lianhua's murmur came from my ears.
"Hey, dead loliticon."
My eyebrows jumped and I decided to ignore her.
Melly didn't hear Lianhua's voice, she patted her small breasts, full of confidence.
"No problem. I will definitely take care of you in the future. β
I'll smile in my heart, what a lovely kid.
Originally, I was going to sit in the park for a night, but since I ran into Melly, I naturally couldn't let that happen.
A little girl, how about letting her sleep in the park with me!
So after spending some more time in the park with Melly, I finally decided to leave and go home with Melly.
Melly didn't object, she didn't worry at all that I was a bad guy or a liar, and happily led me to her house, and for some time to come, my home.
β¦β¦
The park is located close to the center of Kyoto, and the city's busiest places are located nearby.
I thought that when the young Melly appeared in this park alone, her home must be very close to here, but the truth is that I was wrong.
Melly's home is not nearby, it's far away.
Led by Melly, she and I boarded a high-speed train at a nearby station, and it took almost an hour before we arrived!
I was very surprised to take Melly's hand out of the station.
"Melly, we live so far away, how did you get to that park before?"
Lianhua saw the stitches and began to complain to me unceremoniously.
"Your guy's role is still as fast as ever, just got to know each other, and he already regarded himself and her as a family."
I pursed my lips, and although I wanted to refute Lianhua, I had Melly by my side, and in order to prevent her from thinking of me as a meridian who liked to talk to the air, I only put up with it temporarily.
Unlike Lianhua's complaints, Melly seemed a little happy to hear my words.
Her little hand gripping my fingers tightened before she answered happily.
"I went there unintentionally. Because of this period of vacation, during the day, I felt that I had nothing to do at home alone, so I sat in the car for a long time, and then found a random stop, walked around the street for a day, and finally arrived somewhere before I knew it. β
Melly's answer left me a little speechless.
"Hey, you're a little girl so messy, aren't you afraid of accidents?"
"Not really!"
Melly was confident.
"I'm so smart that no one can fool me."
"Really?"
I rolled my eyes, and suddenly pointed behind Melly, and screamed.
"Look, there's a shooting star!"
"Huh?"
Melly was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned her head.
"Where, where, where are the meteors?"
After looking for a long time, Melly didn't find the meteor I said, and immediately pouted, unhappy.
"You're a liar, there's no shooting star at all."
I smiled.
"Didn't you say that? You won't be deceived, why was you deceived by me all of a sudden? β
Melly pursed her lips and was even more unhappy. Let go of my finger and she ran.
It was a long way before she turned around and yelled at me.
"Stupid, why are you still staying there, why don't you hurry up and keep up, our house is still far away."
"It seems that this little guy really longs for his family."
I smiled and hurriedly followed.
"Come on, wait for me."
β¦β¦
It's getting late, and except for the occasional passing motorcycle and a few office workers returning at night, the pedestrians on the road are barely visible.
The dim glow of the two rows of streetlights on the side of the road attracted many moths to circle around it, and a wild cat scurried out of the dark corner from time to time, and then disappeared with a meow.
In such a slightly lonely and dark environment, Melly and I walked for another twenty minutes or so, and finally arrived at our destination.
A house that looks pretty big.
Melly seemed to be a little cold, and rubbed her hands together with a sigh of relief.
"Here, this is home."
Seeing Melly's movements rubbing her hands, I suddenly remembered that it was just spring, and it was a big night, and the temperature was indeed very low.
I patted my head in annoyance and hurriedly crouched down and covered Melly's hands with my hands.
It's a little chilly.
I thought so, and my hands tightened.
I asked.
"Is it still cold?"
Melly was stunned, her originally frowning little eyebrows loosened, and she smiled brightly.
"It's not cold."
As she spoke, she broke free of my hand, took the key from her pocket, and went to open the door.
Once inside, Melly turned on the light and shouted "I'm back." Then he turned back to greet me.
"Hey, come in, it's cold outside."
I entered the house as I said and closed the door with my hand. I looked around and there was something strange.
"Melly, who were you talking to?"
"No one."
Melly changed into her indoor shoes and answered my questions as she rummaged through the cabinets and answered my questions.
"It's just a habit. Lianzi told me that she would shout like that when she went home. β
I was stunned, and I couldn't help but feel a little distressed when I looked at Melly.
What a poor little fellow.
As if sensing something, Melly turned around and smiled at me, then pouted her little ass and continued looking.
After a while, she suddenly screamed.
"Hah! Got it! β
Pulling out a new pair of shoes from the corner that hadn't been disassembled, Melly was excited.
"I knew the shoes were still there."
Lisuo opened the plastic bag, and she handed over the shoes as if she were offering treasures.
"Come, this is my original shoe that was broken last month, and I bought it back when I bought new shoes, you can see if it fits."
"You bought it together?"
I was stunned again, sighed again in my heart, but took it with a smile on the surface.
"Thank you then."
After a few steps to put on my new shoes, I rubbed Melly's head and boasted.
"It's a good fit, Melly has a good eye."
"Of course, don't look at who I am."
Melly stinks so beautiful that Le's eyes can't see.
Next, Melly was going to take me around the house, and she was going to show me her so-called instant noodle skills that were 100 percent of her instant noodle skills for me to boil water and make instant noodles for supper.
I refused, I wasn't hungry and I didn't like instant noodles.
On top of that, it's not early. Although Melly seems to be very energetic, she is a little girl after all, and she can't stay up late.
So after asking Melly to find me a room to sleep in, I let her rest.
When Melly was gone, I took out the bedding from the cupboard on the side, laid it on the floor, got in, and chatted with Lianhua.
"Lianhua."
"Huh?"
"Are you really not going to come out and let me see it?"
"No way!"
Lianhua refused without hesitation, her voice humming.
"I told you everything, I won't let you see it until I stay."
When I heard this answer again, I was speechless.
It's this requirement every time, can it be a little new?
With a sigh, I began to talk to Lianhua every day, angry with her.
"Lianhua, are you so reluctant to let me see because you are too ugly and embarrassed to meet people?"
Lianhua was not fooled, and sneered at each other.
"No kidding. I'm 10,000 times prettier than you! β
I rolled my eyes.
"Nonsense, I'm a man, if you're 10,000 times more handsome than me, then what's the matter?"
Lianhua began to fight back.
"What's so awe-inspiring, I've seen anyone who is 100,000 times more handsome than you."
I pouted.
"Hey, who's fooling? I am the most handsome man in the world, how can there be a more handsome man in the world than me. β
"Narcissist!"
I talked to Lianhua for a while, and suddenly felt a little sleepy.
"Okay, I won't talk to you. I've got to sleep. Otherwise, I won't be able to get up tomorrow morning. Good night. β
After saying goodnight, I closed my eyes and began to fall asleep.
Suddenly, I seemed to hear Lianhua's voice again.
She said so.
"Good night."
