After sending the unconscious Yonglin back to the Eternal Court, ruthlessly sealing all her memories of the previous time and herself in the outside world, and ensuring that she would not make trouble in the days to come, Chen An finally stared at the sleeping Yonglin in the room, and left the Eternal Court and the Lost Bamboo Forest directly.

In the dead of night, the moon sinks and the stars are scarce.

I don't know what time it is now, the silver moon hanging in the sky has begun to fall, and at the iron gate of the Red Devil Pavilion, there is no one at this time.

No, it shouldn't be said to be empty, because there is another man who once belonged to the Red Devil Pavilion and is now being expelled.

"Do you want to go in?"

Looking at the quiet mansion inside the wall from the crack in the iron bar, Chen An hesitated.

He came to the Red Devil Pavilion to return the gift he had promised, but the problem was that his current identity was very sensitive. The one who once loved him became the one who hated him, and the one who once liked him became the one who hated him.

The Red Devil Pavilion, no one here once had a bad feeling for him, not only Remy, Fran, Pache Valley, Sakiya, Misuzu, Little Devil, but even those fairy maids who often have no sense of existence.

Therefore, judging from the situation that is completely opposite to the present and the past, if you break into the Red Devil Pavilion like this, let alone give gifts, it is estimated that you will be typed out if you can't even say a word after meeting someone. There is even a possibility of a repeat of the previous tragedy.

His left hand unconsciously covered his right shoulder, and Chen An sighed lightly.

And even if you are lucky enough to give a gift, you will probably be thrown away like garbage.

It's okay to say that ordinary small gifts, after all, it is the heart that is given, even if others are unwilling to accept it, and even throwing a gift will make people uncomfortable, but in general it is still acceptable.

The problem is that Chen An came to give not only a small gift to the little ones like Fran and Lumia, but also a precious item that was promised to Misuzu, which was infused with real effort and carried apologies and love.

Of course, Chen An also understands that if he gives that thing to Misuzu now, he will probably be thrown away by her. But he had promised her that he would give her a gift when he came back, so naturally he couldn't break his promise.

The most important apology from the bottom of my heart, Chen An really wants to express it and pass it on to Misuzu. Even if he can't make Misuzu not hate him, he wants her to know his heart. Even if the gift will be thrown away, Chen An has no regrets.

It's like Misuzu once stabbed herself for him, and she was hurt by him, but she still had expectations for him. In that case, how could he continue to owe the apology he had already owed because he had spared a gift?

If it weren't for this, Chen An's life would have died in the lost bamboo forest a long time ago, and how could he have dragged his tattered body here.

Just now......

"Well, since it's not the right time, Misuzu has already rested, so it's better not to bother her. After all, you can give a gift at any time. Now, it's time to ...... Well? Who. ”

Looking up at the bright night sky, Chen An shook his head and sighed softly in frustration. And just as he wanted to leave the Red Devil Pavilion to do the last thing, he suddenly found that someone seemed to be staring at him.

Abominant, cold, and ...... temperature No, not as if, the temperature is really lowered.

Quickly turned her head to look, in the cold moonlight, her expression was cold, her figure was tall and hot, and the girl with long ice blue hair tied into a single ponytail by a big dark blue bow stepped out of the woods and slowly appeared in her eyes.

Chen An blinked, tilted his head to look at the three pairs of long, crystal clear ice crystal wings floating behind the girl as she walked, and suddenly smiled.

"Yo, isn't this Qiluno, why did she suddenly grow up after not seeing her for a while. Ah, it looks cold, not at all like when I was a child. ”

Subtle emotions and the look of surprise that were recognized flashed in the cold ice blue eyes, and the grown up Qi Luno narrowed his eyes slightly.

"How did you recognize that?"

"Tsk, it doesn't look like it's getting a lot colder."

"I've seen it once before."

Chen An smacked his lips and muttered quietly, pointing his finger at the small skirt on Qi Luno's body.

"And guess, I've never seen anyone wear a dress like this except for Kiruno...... In other words, don't you feel uncomfortable wearing this skirt when you grow up? ”

Obviously, she is already a grown up girl, tall and fiery about the same as Misuzu, but she is still wearing the blue skirt she wore when she was a little girl, the skirt is short and small and becomes like a top, and it is tight to highlight the two points on her chest, and she can't even cover the white underwear underneath, which really makes Chen An feel speechless.

It seems that because of his cold personality, although Qi Luno also has a strong disgust in Chen An's eyes, he doesn't have any special outrageous performance, and of course he doesn't act like Misuzu and Remy last time when they don't agree with each other.

Of course, if Chen An hadn't pressed hard last time, Remy and the others might not have done it.

"Is it uncomfortable...... It's a little. ”

When I was a child, (9) was stupid, naïve and didn't know how to be shy, and although Qi Lunuo, who grew up, seemed to be a lot smarter, she didn't seem to know how to write the word shy.

Pulling the skirt that was used as a blouse on her body, she felt that what Chen An said seemed to be quite right, so she took off the skirt and threw it aside.

"It's so much more comfortable."

“——！！！”

Completely ignoring the fact that all the other parts of his body were exposed except for a pair of underwear, Qi Lunuo nodded casually, only to suddenly realize that he saw Chen An's eyes wide open not far away, and he looked like his jaw was about to drop. She frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong...... Isn't that what I should be asking!? I actually took off my clothes like this, I am not ashamed! Do you stupid still think you're the little devil you were back then! ”

Even if he knew that Qi Lunuo was a goblin and couldn't be compared with ordinary people, but seeing that she was undressed and dared to ask what's wrong, Chen An couldn't help but jump up excitedly.

While angrily yelling at the inexplicable Qiluno to teach her a lesson, he walked quickly towards Qiluno, and at the same time conjured up women's underwear and a dress with the color of ice and snow in his hand.

"- Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and put my clothes on, or don't blame me for being unkind!"

It is estimated that Qi Lunuo, a fool, will not wear underwear even if he grows up, so Chen An helped her wear it himself.

The lectured Qiluno was expressionless, but looking at the corners of her slightly lowered mouth, she seemed very unhappy.

"You disgusting fellow, don't point fingers at me."

Chen An, who was scolding himself for dressing himself, obviously the disgust and dissatisfaction in his eyes had almost turned into substantial frost to let the air around him continue to cool down. But for some reason, Qi Lunuo found that his body had no intention of resisting at all, and naturally let Chen An do something to him.

The conflict between body and mind made Kiruno even more unhappy.

"Yes, Lord Kiruno, Gensokyo is the strongest, how dare I point fingers at you. Come, hands up. ”

Neatly put on her underwear for Qi Lunuo, Chen An tried to make her raise her hand while comforting the dissatisfied girl, and then put the skirt on for her as well. But failed.

"Go away."

Qi Luno refused Chen An's offer to dress her, and then quickly walked a few steps to the side as if evasive, and at the same time stopped Chen An who was holding a skirt and wanted to follow her with a cold look.

"Don't come here, or don't blame me for being unkind."

Looking at Qi Lunuo, who had two underwear and underwear covering three points on his body, and the rest of the body, the ankles, calves, thighs, lower abdomen, collarbones, and shoulders were all exposed, Chen An smiled bitterly.

"I know you hate me, but can you put your clothes on? It's not good to be seen when you show so much. ”

"I don't need you."

Kiruno's expression was cold, the frost spread on the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the girl's crisp voice was as cold as ice.

"I'm already amazed at my tolerance to kill you before we meet. If you do anything superfluous, the consequences will ...... Conceited! ”

Along with the rapidly spreading frost, there was also a falling snowfall. The frost and snow combined, and it quickly seemed to grow, and a crystal clear ice and snow sword stood beside Qi Luno with the tip of the sword.

"Do you want to be so indifferent and scare me with a weapon...... I know, I know, I won't pass. ”

Chen An muttered depressedly, and had to pause his movements in Qi Luno's icy sight. Sighing quietly, he asked:

"By the way, you don't rest in your room at this time, why did you appear here, and suddenly grow up?"

"You talk a lot."

Glancing at Chen An, Qi Luno twisted his face in disgust, and at the same time answered his question.

"Sauce and I have already left the Red Devil Pavilion, and the reason why I recovered is because I threw away what you sent."

Unbeknownst to everyone, the bracelet that Chen An gave to Qi Lunuo changed her body temperature to normal, and the cold and strength of Qi Lunuo's body were also blocked in that bracelet. And when the bracelet is removed, the long-stored strength returns to the body.

And Qiluno will also change into the form of the Ice Queen when she fought against Akata because of the Great Goblin.

"What!?"

Chen An looked at Qi Lunuo in astonishment.

He had known that Kiruno could transform like Lumia, and even that nine percent of the hidden power in the bracelet was secretly stuffed into it.

What he was surprised about was nothing more than what Kirunor said, she and the big goblin had left the Red Devil Pavilion!

Because I've grown up, my personality has changed, do you think the Red Devil Pavilion is not suitable?

"Don't you understand, it's sad, that's obviously what you gave me. …… Forget it, I don't want to continue to see people who are eyesore, I'm leaving. ”

Qi Lunuo seemed to have misunderstood something, sneered and didn't bother to explain to Chen Anduo, and planned to leave after a few casual words.

"—Hey! Wait a minute! ”

"What do you want to do?"

Qi Luno glanced at himself coldly before turning around, and stopped the man in front of him.

"Give me an explanation, or don't blame my men for being ruthless,"

"Oh yes, don't be so cold. I'm just trying to make a deal with you, Kiruno. ”

"Deal?"

One eye was closed, and a bundle of puzzled eyes fell on Chen An, who was hippie and smiling. After staring at Chen An for a while, Qi Lunuo's expression moved, and he turned around, preparing to leave in another direction.

"I have no money and nothing to trade. On top of that, I have no interest in trading with you at all. ”

"Wrong, wrong, I'm sure you'll be interested in this deal."

A teleportation stopped in front of Qi Lunuo who wanted to leave again, and before Qi Luno could refuse again or simply leave, Chen An had already shook his finger with a smile.

"I noticed that in addition to Cuixiang, Cute Wolf, and Chick in the Red Devil Pavilion, the other people, Lumia and Luna, including Misty, all disappeared. I only came back this time to buy gifts from you little devils. So ......"

"So?"

"Yes, so. So I'm trading with you, and it's very simple. You accept the dress and the gift I gave you, and then give them the gift for Fran and Misuzu, as well as the big goblin. And in exchange...... I'm giving you a great gift! ”

The last resounding word landed, and Chen An's gentle temperament suddenly changed, as if he had changed a person. Chen An's eyes were sharp, and the coldness contained in them made Qi Lunuo, who was an ice goblin, feel cold.

And in the midst of it, terrible dangers are brewing!

“——！！”

The smile turned into a sneer, and the corners of Chen An's mouth rose: "——A big gift!"

Nothing was done, just an understatement that made the air seem to be hollowed out in an instant. Looking into Chen An's eyes, an indescribable suffocating oppression and fear hit Qi Lunuo's heart.

If you don't do it, you'll die! If you don't do it, you'll die! If you don't do it, you'll die!!

His pupils contracted, and the terrifying premonition of death shattered the restraint in Kiruno's heart in an instant. Under the threat of death, the invisible shackles in his heart were shattered, and reason ran wild, forming a huge killing intent that swept everything in his heart.

His eyes became hollow, and the ice crystal wings behind him quickly expanded to both sides, and the originally scattered and fluttering light snow in the sky formed a huge blizzard in the blink of an eye.

The wind and snow roared furiously, and the icy blue lines of glittering light spread through the air, quickly forming countless strange cold symbols, and then condensing.

"You guy - looking for !! death"

The world of absolute zero descended with the wrath of the maiden, and the pale color of snow covered the earth in an instant.

Under the absolute oppression, Qi Lunuo, who was rampant with murderous intent, did not hesitate to pull out the ice long sword beside him and slash it at Chen An.

The pale world - slashed open by a sword!

Compared with Qi Lunuo, who was boiling with killing intent and did not hesitate, Chen An's movements were more rapid.

Absolute Zero froze the clothes in his hands into ice, but he couldn't imprison them, slowing down Chen An's speed in the slightest. Pulling back, she narrowly avoided Kiruno's slashing blizzard.

"Stupid little ghost, the deal is struck, remember to get dressed and the things that promised me."

With his body prostrating, his right leg stretched back, and his left hand propped up on the ice, Chen An used his other hand to wipe away the blood that had been frozen at the moment when the corner of his mouth overflowed, and grinned. A pale smile appeared, and the suffocating fear and oppression vanished in an instant.

"-You!?"

Qi Luno was stunned by Chen An and the change in atmosphere, and the ice sword that slashed at Chen An paused in the air.

"Why, it's a sword......"

A sigh-like exhalation sounded in his ears, and a pale, gentle face suddenly appeared in front of him.

The sharp ice sword in his hand pierced through the heart that had long since lost its vitality. At the moment when the azure color was dyed blood red without any sense of condensation, Qi Luno felt that the killing intent in his heart was shattered, and then he was stabbed again. Bloody.

- It hurts!

"You...... You ......"

Qiluno's eyes widened in horror, and she shook her head vigorously to let go and retreat, but the person in front of her refused to let her go and continue to move forward. Her hand tightened in her grip on Kiruno's hand, and she couldn't let go of her ice sword. Chen An stepped forward step by step, allowing the ice sword to pass through his heart little by little, turning it and everything in his body into ice.

The wonderful power sustained himself from dying directly, and his life was announced by the ice sword that pierced his heart. Chen An not only did not have the panic that his life was about to pass, but smiled very calmly.

No, not just calmness, but also pampering gentleness. Gently stroking Qi Luno's head with his other hand, Chen An said:

"I haven't shown it, but I hate it, Kiruno...... Really, you stupid little devil is still stupid even when you grow up, you don't know how to hide your heart at all, everything can be seen from your eyes. “”

"Kiruno, I originally wanted to ask why you hate me, but in the end, I thought about it. After all, stupid people don't need a reason to hate people. ”

Chen An closed his eyes slightly, and the light like fireflies radiated from his body that had been dyed white by ice and snow, swaying and flying in the wind and snow.

"Although it is a bit cunning to make a deal without your consent, in exchange for helping me, I will entrust this life of my life to you to end it. You who hate me should be happy to get this great gift, right? ”

"—that's not right! Don't do such a nasty thing, you bastard! ”

Qi Lunuo's face showed anger, but was interrupted by Chen An's sudden hug. The hug does not bring familiar warmth, but makes the already cold body even colder, and it seems that even the heart is going to freeze. Tears were hazy, and whispers came from my ears.

"The Frog Muppet is yours, the Bear Muppet is Fran's, the green pocket watch is the Fairy's, and the red knot is given to Misuzu."

"Kiruno, remember to tell Misuzu for me and Misuzu when I handed over the Thousand Heart Knot to Misuzu that the gift that was infused with real effort has been delivered, and it is worth exchanging one of my sadness for one of her sadness. Also, I can't say I'm sorry for being late, and I can only ask you without sincerity. ”

There was a pause, and the man chuckled suddenly.

“…… There's a question I want to ask you from the beginning. Kiruno, one plus one...... Ah, forgot. What should five plus five equal? ”

“…… (9), (9) Ah. ”

Five plus five equals ten Kiluno actually knows, but for some reason, when the choked answer comes out of his mouth, the correct answer involuntarily becomes (9).

"Ah, really...... Sure enough, you've grown up, and you're still the stupid guy who doesn't know how to count (9). …… Fran, Lumia, now it's finally your turn. Really, why is it a long sword again...... I knew it...... I know that I must owe you little devils...... Ah, it's over. ”

Misty thoughts fluttered, as if I heard the girl crying in the distance.

"Uh......h Elder brother...... Kaguya, Kaguya fell, it hurts...... Whining. ”

"Wow! It's thundering, brother, will Kaguya sleep with you at night? ”

"Brother-sama, Kaguya likes you the most!"

"-Die!"

"Ah, I've grown up, and I'm not the crying little girl anymore...... Brother is as you wish, Kaguya ......"

Chen An struggled to look up to the starry sky with his last strength, smiled at the moon, the light dissipated, and everything in his consciousness fell into silent darkness.

……

The murmuring in his ears became smaller and smaller, until finally, when the big hand that clenched his hand disappeared and the ice sword that he couldn't hold fell to the ground, and the fluorescence surrounded his body to form the skirt of the snow that was frozen and shattered by the wind and snow, and then flew away from the wind and snow that was crazy in the world, the nasty sound and breath disappeared completely.

With her head down, Kiruno stared at what appeared on the ground as the man disappeared.

A bear puppet, a frog puppet, and finally a green pocket watch.

Gently tugging at the skirt on her body, Qi Luno couldn't help but look at the extra thing in her hand and the skirt. A red knot lying quietly in the palm of the hand.

Is that what the guy calls the last deal? A deal that was struck with his life?

Kiruno tilted her head to stare at the melted red ice sword on the ground, and suddenly felt her vision become more and more blurred.

"Idiot, Mingming, Mingming, Mingming, didn't agree...... Woo......"

Large tears slipped down her cheeks uncontrollably, and Kiruno covered her mouth and knelt on the ground.

The tears became more and more turbulent, and the girl fell to her knees, crying silently.

……
