Walking out of the blooming terminal flowers in dust, Chen An moved forward indifferently, unmovingly leaving behind the beauty that was still blooming behind him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The overflowing water from an unknown corner has been spreading, and in the light sound of the clatter, even the farthest part of the line of sight has been stained with a layer of clear water.

Click, click. Click, click.

I don't know who is running on such a road, and a series of clear splashes sounded.

- "Brother An~! ”

With a cheer of joy, the people running on such a road appeared.

A cute girl in a white beret, short blond hair, a lively ponytail tied to her ears with a bow-style red ribbon, colorful crystal wings, and a red gothic dress, Flandrew cheered and threw herself into the arms of the indifferent man.

"Brother An, Brother An, Fran misses you so much~~"

He stood still, but his right hand was raised uncontrollably, and he gently placed his hand on Flandro's head. Stroking Flandrolu's hair, Chen An said:

"Finally, is there anything you'd like to say?"

"Hey, is Brother Ann asking Fran?"

Raising her head to look at Chen An, Flandoro pouted cutely. "What, it's clear that Fran thinks so much about Brother An, and Brother An is not happy at all when he sees Fran. It's too much! ”

"Open...... Heart? What is that? ”

"Ahh Of course, happiness is a smile, and this is what Brother Ann told Fran. I actually forgot, Brother An is really stupid. ”

Sticking out her little tongue, Frando slapped Chen An angrily. The strength was small, as if he was afraid of hurting him.

Flandrew came out of Chen An's arms and ran around Chen An like a cheerful little beast, and then put a small hand behind him, and at the same time stretched out another small hand to him with confidence.

"Brother An, Fran wants a gift."

"Gifts, things?"

As if confused, Chen An split a word into two readings. Flandro's eyes widened, and her little hands stretched straighter.

"That's right, Brother Ann left Fran and ran away for so long, and Fran asked for a gift to compensate. If she doesn't give a gift, Fran will cry, and she will never play with Brother Ann again. ”

He wanted to say something to refuse Flandrolu's request, but looking at her expectant gaze, Chen An was surprised to find that he couldn't say anything.

The eyeballs in the eye socket stiffly rolled twice, and Chen An put his right hand into the wide cuff of his left hand. When he took his hand out again, a black paper crane appeared.

Holding out his right hand to Flandro, he said succinctly, "Gift."

"Woo~! It's so cute, thank you Brother An, Fran likes paper cranes the most! ”

If the treasure took the crane, Flandrew took it and ran around the corridor excitedly. Chen An, on the other hand, stood motionless, expressionlessly watching Flandor running around beside him.

After a while, Flandrew, who had finally run enough, returned to Chen An. jumped and kicked off the two small leather shoes, then supported Chen An's waist with his hands, bent down and took off the soaked little white socks on his feet.

Stepping on the water twice with her bare feet, the cool swishing sensation made Flandorow giggle. However, after laughing for a while, she puffed out her cheeks unhappily.

"Fran hates water!"

Bursting into a conclusion, Flandrew climbed onto the back of Chen An, who was always silent beside him.

Still uncontrollable, Chen An's right hand was already behind Flandore when he climbed on his back and hugged his neck, supporting Flandrew.

With one hand around Chen An's neck, and the other hand holding a paper crane waving happily, Flandor pointed to the front and shouted happily.

"Let's go, Brother An, go to Fran's room, Fran also has a gift for you!"

Chen An was silent, but just walked forward in the direction of Flandrew's small hand wave.

……

What are those? Colorful colors fill all the horizons.

Pushing open the door, he walked into the room amid Flandrew's cheerful laughter, and countless colors were seen.

Red, green, purple, and white ...... are hanging in the air, and the six colors are scattered on the ground, and all those colorful colors are beautiful and vivid little paper cranes. As if in a sea of origami, at this moment, Chen An is surrounded by countless small paper cranes.

Flandrolu put her hands around Chen An's neck, leaned her head on his shoulder, and said softly, "Brother An, these paper cranes are Flan's gift to you." I've made a thousand and fifteen hundred wishes, Brother An, Fran has finally waited for you to come back. ”

One wish is equal to one thousand cranes, and one thousand five hundred wishes are one thousand thousand cranes.

More than a thousand days have been spent, those who are full of Flandall's hopes, those who are full of Flandorew's thoughts, those delicate paper cranes lie there quietly.

Chen An looked at them wordlessly, and then said, "Thank you, I'm sorry."

Thanks to Flandrew's sincere heart, sorry that Flandrew's sincere heart he can't accept.

There is no emotion, how can you accept and feel this sincere heart?

"Stupid Brother An, the one who said he was sorry should be, it should be Franna. All along, the wayward Fran has caused a lot of trouble for Brother An. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

With the sound of choking, tears flowed from his eyes and wet Chen An's shoulders.

Crying, Flandoro couldn't help but look sideways at Chen An's side face.

……

"Big brother, let's play with Fran~"

……

"Big brother, Fran wants to hear the story."

"Don't talk about it! Doze off every time I tell you a story, what to say this time...... Hey, you little devil, don't look at me with pitiful eyes, I don't talk about it...... Okay, well, I've lost to you, let's say, what story do you want to listen to and sleep? ”

"Angel!"

"Okay, then I'll tell you a story about a mermaid."

"Huh? Fran is talking about angels, winged angels! ”

"Okay, then I'll tell you a story about a mermaid angel with wings."

"Woo~ Big brother is so cunning!"

……

"Brother An, Brother An, Fran is going to play in the mountains."

"Next time, don't you see I'm still working."

"Whatever it is, Fran is going now! Fran is going now! ”

"I really can't do anything about your little ghost's head, okay, don't shake it, just take you there."

"Long live !!"

……

"Woo~ Brother An, Fran is so sleepy~"

"Who made you so excited last night, you still tossed and didn't rest when you came back from the concert, and now you're late."

"But~ Fran is really sleepy. I'm going to go to school later...... What should I do, Brother An. If you go to the temple house like this, Fran will definitely fall asleep in class, and then Huiyin-sensei will definitely scold Fran. ”

"So what?"

"Hee-hee, okay if you don't go today?"

"You stinky girl, you will take leave after three days, sooner or later I will be scolded to death by Huiyin because of you! Okay, I promise you, go back and rest, next time, I won't help you ask for leave. ”

"Brother Ann is the best!"

……

Bang!

"It hurts! Brother An, why are you throwing things at Fran? ”

"It's embarrassing to take a nap in class. Don't be verbose, listen to the class! ”

"Whew, that's tough."

……

"I'm sorry."

"Huh? Apologize as soon as you come, Fran What did you do badly again? ”

"When I was going to school today, Fran was so naughty that she accidentally demolished the temple house, and talked back to Teacher Huiyin and made her angry."

"You ......"

Manly speechless, he raised his hand high, thinking that he wanted to hit her, but the hand slapped heavily on his head. Looking at her, he sighed.

"I just said that sooner or later, one day I will be scolded to death by Huiyin because of you...... Remember to stay in the Red Devil Pavilion obediently, and I went to find Huiyin. Remember, next time you go to the temple house, you won't be naughty anymore, understand? ”

"Huh? …… Oh. ”

……

"Brother An, Brother An. Fran, Fran likes you the most. ”

whispered these words, but the tears in his eyes rolled more and more. Holding Chen An tightly with all her strength, Flandorow suddenly cried sadly.

"Ann, Brother An, Fran, whatever happens to Fran, please...... Please, sister, sister, please don't hurt sister, please......"

It's not that he doesn't know anything, but he just doesn't know what to do, and hides behind him happily.

But this time...... Flandrew grew sad.

"Brother An...... Woo, sister, please don't hurt my sister......"

"Huh? …… Oh. ”

Responding noncommittally to Flandrolu's plea, Chen An walked to the bedside. Untie Flandall's hand around her neck and gently put her down. Raising his hand to wipe away the tears from Flandor's face from his sleeve, he said softly:

"Sleep in peace, as long as you close your eyes, you won't have any worries."

"Ann, Brother Ann......"

"Sleep, sleep."

Chen An's cold voice seemed to be full of infinite power, and Flandore squirmed her lips, desperately opening her eyes to say something, but in the end, she was defeated by the sleepiness brought by the magic and fell asleep.

With tears still hanging from the corners of my eyes, I saw the pitiful Flandore breathing steadily. Chen An looked at her, and then casually lifted the sheet next to the bed and covered her.

He said, "I wish you a good night's sleep. And that request I refused. ”

The water had already spread into the room at some point, and the fluttering paper cranes floated on the surface of the water, and then quietly drifted with the current to an unknown distance.

Following those paper cranes, in the crisp and cold sound of splashing, Chen An left the room in silence.

Nothing was left but the lovely girl who closed her eyes and immersed herself in sweet dreams and never woke up again.

……

In this way, Chen An came to the final location, the hall of the Red Devil Pavilion.

"You're here."

The crisp female voice sounded at the same time as Chen An stepped here, and following the voice, the girl sitting on the luxurious high chair at the top of the stairs saw it in the innermost part of the hall.

A white beret, short dark blue hair, a delicate and mature face, a concave and convex figure, dressed in the same style as Flandrew, but giving people a graceful and luxurious temperament, the elegant girl sat on the chair with one hand on her cheek, and looked condescendingly at Chen An who was walking towards her.

She asked, "Where's Misuzu?"

"Dead."

"Where's the incense?"

"Dead."

"What about Sakiya and Patsy?"

"Dead."

"It's all gone, then...... What about Fran? ”

"The kid, she's asleep."

indifferently responded to the girl's question, and in the end, Chen An finally changed the answer.

The girl's serious expression slowed down, and then a relaxed smile appeared.

"I thought I would get an answer that made me hate you in my next life, but now it seems that the ending is unexpectedly good."

"There is no accident, because later, you and her will die together."

"Really...... Hee-hee, it's really ridiculous to suddenly feel that this kind of thing would come out of your mouth. Obviously, it's clear that I'm the one who keeps saying that I want people to die 10,000 times. ”

The girl suddenly laughed, but Chen An never said a word.

Coming to the bottom of the stairs, Chen An looked up at the luxurious girl above.

"Is there anything you'd like to say at the end?"

"Excuse me...... There are a lot of them. ”

Slender fingers tapped her cheeks, and the girl stared at Chen An, and suddenly stood up from her chair. With one hand on her waist and the other pointing at Chen An, the girl asked majestically.

"Hey, you guy opened his eyes wide for Lord Remy, and he didn't look beautiful when he grew up!"

“……”

Chen An was speechless and looked at the girl quietly. In such a gaze, the girl proudly puffed up her chest, pointed at Chen An arrogantly and said loudly: "If you dare to deny it, Lord Remy will bite you to death, ten thousand times will never be less!"

……

"Black lace~ Oops, a little girl actually wore such underwear to show off, the world is going down, the world is going down!"

……

"Hey, Remy, come here, I'll tell you a big secret."

"Huh?"

"I tell you in whisper, Lord Remy's majesty is the same as her flat breasts!"

“…… Wow! Don't run, you bastard, Mistress Remy will bite you to death!! ”

……

"Remy Remi, how about we go to the sun tonight?"

"Are you a fool! Where to find the sun at night!? And Mistress Remy is a vampire, so she can't bask in the sun! ”

"Well, I see. Then why don't you run out with an umbrella, it's daytime. ”

"Long-winded! Remy's turn won't be your turn to teach a lesson! ”

"Hey, Remy-sama, can you go back with me now? I'll carry you. ”

……

"Remy, let's hang out together."

"Don't go!"

"Hey, I actually refused...... What's the matter, your mouth is so high, who made you unhappy? ”

"You're so annoying, go away, go away!"

"Tut, aren't you being provoked...... Interesting, isn't it because you finally find yourself most majestic and discouraged when you crouch with your head in your hands? ”

“…… Kill you believe it or not!? ”

"It's imposing. Okay, okay, let's go, today I have great mercy to prevent your little arms and legs from going by themselves. ”

“…… Bastard! Hurry up and put Master Remy down, dare to hug me on your own, and kill you 10,000 times Believe it or not!! ”

……

"I'm not happy, Remy-sama is very unhappy today!"

"That's a good thing! Hurry up and make me happy by telling you what you're not happy about. ”

"You guy...... Will you die if you say something nice! ”

"I won't die, but I'll be better off than dead!"

"Damn, why did you live like a nasty bastard to this day!"

"It's simple, because I'm handsome!"

"Oh~ what a shame!"

"Okay~! I dare to say that I am shameless to be reserved...... Look at the moves! ”

"Hee-hee, it's so itchy...... Bastard, don't tickle me, don't rub my face! ”

……

"Woo~~~ Run, Run, Remy-sama is going to see Hakurei Shrine in three minutes."

"It's hard for a strong man~ Remy, won't you come down and go by yourself?"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, or Lord Remy will beat you up."

"What a murderer!"

"What did you say!?"

“…… Long live Remy-sama! ”

"The one who sees the wind and rudder...... Hee-hee, hurry up~! ”

……

When, exactly, did you care about this guy?

Was it at noon on a sunny day, when he heard him say from afar that everyone was lonely, or when he smiled and put her hand with his sister's hand that night? Or is it at the beginning, when this guy said rude words with emotion when they first met, or in those cheerful daily lives?

I don't know, I just understand that unconsciously, she has put him in her heart. At the same time, a strange emotion that had never been experienced before germinated at that time.

What kind of emotion is that? Is it affection? Is it friendship? Or ...... Love?

If you don't know, why should you know?

As long as you know that you will be happy with him in your life, as long as you know that you will be happy to hear his voice, as long as you know that you will be very relieved to be curled up in his arms. As long as you know that even if you don't do anything, as long as you can see his smile, that iron-solid heart will quietly melt and become soft.

The girl, Remilia Scarlett, who grew up eating banned drugs, intertwined her gentle gaze with Chen An's cold eyes.

A long time passed, but the question remained unanswered.

Staring at Chen An silently, her arrogant expression softened, and Remilia Scarlett suddenly sighed softly.

"It's true, I don't even want to answer a small question, I really can't expect anything from you."

Walking down the stairs step by step, the shoes collided with the marble staircase with a clear sound, and Remilia Scarlett finally came to Chen An.

has grown up, but the petite Remilia Scarlett is still a little different from Chen An's height. Looking up at Chen An's face, she suddenly stretched out her hands and touched his face.

There is no need to fly, no need to stand on a chair, and no need to let Chen An squat down, this is the first time she can touch Chen An's face without any auxiliary force.

The big eyes narrowed happily into crescent moons, and Remilia Scarlett pulled Chen An's stiff cheeks with both hands to make a laughing expression for him.

The strange smile was a little funny, but Remilia Scarlett was so happy to see it that she couldn't help but giggle.

After a while, Remilia Scarlett finally tossed enough Chen An, put down her hand with satisfaction, and then took Chen An's hand. Pulling Chen An up the stairs quickly, Remilia Scarlett pinned him to the chair.

Chen An did not react to Remilia Scarlett's actions, and let her toss around like a bystander.

Holding Chen An's hand on his waist, and then sitting on his lap, Remilia Scarlett took off her shoes and curled up in Chen An's arms like a child.

Like a king sitting high in the clouds, sitting on a gorgeous king chair, Chen An hugged Remilia Scarlett. And beneath his feet, the water that had spread to the hall was surging wildly. The surface of the water rises upwards at a breakneck speed.

Soon, the hem of Chen An's robe had already submerged in the water, and the icy water was up to his ankles, and then rose quickly along his calves.

In such an environment, he looked down at the girl in his arms who was curled up gracefully like a cat, and said softly:

"Finally, is there anything else to say?"

"Well...... "Well" gently shook her eyelashes, and the girl looked at Chen An gently: "Sure enough, in the end, I was still a little unwilling." Now, Chen An, Lord Remy when she grows up...... Is it beautiful? ”

Chen An stared at the girl, was silent for a moment, and said, "...... Well, it's beautiful. ”

At the moment of being submerged in water, the girl who was embraced by the man finally heard the answer she wanted to hear. With a happy smile, she closed her eyes in his arms.

The water finally flooded everything, even the Clock Tower, the tallest building in the Red Devil Pavilion.

And the moment the water happened to overflow the tip of the clock tower, all the water froze. The permafrost ice, which can freeze even time and space, instantly freezes the area of the Red Devil Pavilion, including the Lake of Mist.

Click!

A crisp cracking sound suddenly sounded, and the eternal frozen ice shattered in the next moment, and then it seemed to be held by someone and thrown into the sky.

It's snowing, and the sparkling ice chips flying in the sky reflect the colorful sunlight and slowly fall. That scene was beautiful.

And in this beautiful snow, a lonely man sits on a throne made of ice with a dead maiden in his arms. The next moment, the girl who died with a smile in the man's arms suddenly disappeared silently into crystal fragments. And the man closed his eyes indifferently at that moment.

……
