The next day Ahri didn't come, and the air was missing the nice smell. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Is something wrong?

Reginard couldn't help but think.

Wasn't that guy always following behind, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on him, how could he suddenly disappear?

Reginad probed with his mental power, and the tracking mark left by the nine-tailed demon fox on his body was still there, indicating that she should not have decided to "let go" him.

He felt as if something was missing, and he couldn't help but wonder if something had happened to the fox.

Although he was quite curious about the unique art of false sleep of this new monkey who had joined their group. But when Taylor happened to ask the monkey about the principle of this spell or something that the monkey cast, Reginard didn't seem to be in it.

He knew that he was curious about what the monkey was saying, but he remembered almost nothing, and finally only said "It's amazing", as if he had listened very carefully.

All he thought about was the little guy who followed him like a little tail and wanted to trick him.

But even if he was really overflowing with compassion now, it would be useless to worry about it.

Riginad had no choice but to leave her signature magic circle in the nearby tree every distance she advanced, and if she returned, she could follow these marks with his special magical powers to find him.

"What are you doing with this? I'm still worried about getting lost? Taylor asked.

"No, I'm just preventing...... Lost when I came back. Reginard smiled dumbfounded.

He began to realize that Ahri seemed to have become a secret that he somehow didn't want to tell to others.

"What the hell am I crazy...... "That guy is just a fox," he muttered in a voice that only he could hear. ”

At this moment, he suddenly heard a distant bell ringing three times in the distance.

The chimes of the bell were already faint as they were.

Reginad pulls out his pocket watch and looks at it—it was once under the clutches of Ahri, and after searching for a new way to use it, Reginald used magic to fix it.

"It's not the hour." He said.

Three bells rang, or there was an important event to summon all the citizens of the city-state, or...... There are big people who have passed away.

"Looks like something must have happened...... Reginard continued.

"If I were you, I'd only be glad that this torturous trek is finally coming to an end." Taylor shrugged.

Reginard looked at Taylor, smiled, and nodded slightly.

Indeed, it is very close to the city of Ionia.

……

The night is quieter.

The night in this forest seems to be extraordinarily thick, but not long after nightfall, it is completely dark.

If it were in Ionia, the streets at this time would still be in the eye-catching magical lights that should have shrouded the various street stalls.

The orange shimmer of the cottage in the window slowly revealed a vague outline from the shadows of the trees and the night.

There is a faint smell of warmth.

Irelia wasn't at the door, and it stands to reason that at this time of day, Irelia was just cleaning the dishes and chopsticks shortly after dinner, or taking a walk with her father before going to bed.

If you happen to be abnormal today, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Ahri really held back her stomach and wanted to talk to Irelia, because of Taylor's stinky bastard, she couldn't play tricks on Reginald these days, and she was really about to suffocate.

Finally lured a monkey who can mischievous, and ......

Ahri couldn't help but cluck his teeth all the way here.

Ahri walked to the door, she raised her hand to knock on the door, but she was afraid that it would disturb her, so she had a flash of inspiration and went straight through the wooden door.

"Irelia, are you there?" Ahri asked in a low voice, for fear of disturbing Rito, who was resting.

No one answered. Ahri continued inside, through the living room where the guests were entertained, and towards Rito's room.

Every once in a while, she sneaks in and delivers some life-sustaining spirit to Master Rito, so she is also familiar with it.

The door was not closed, half-hidden, revealing a small gap through which the dim butter light could easily be seen.

Master Rito lay quietly on the bed, while Irelia sat on the chair beside the bed, her upper body resting on her father's chest.

Ahri didn't even want to spoil the quiet and somewhat warm picture.

"Irelia?" Ahri snorted softly, and then crept inside, carefully bypassing a low cabinet in the doorway, lest his tail accidentally touch something.

Only then did she notice that the smell of the dead in the room, and the spirit of life in Master Rito's body, had completely dissipated.

The Master has passed away.

The freeze-frame sound is still extremely serene.

Walking to the bedside, she saw tears on Irelia's cheeks.

"Ahri ......"

Her voice was hoarse, and the tear stains on her white and tender face had long since dried up, as if the tears had long been drained, but as soon as she saw her, the tears could not bear it and flowed wantonly.

Ahri didn't have time to react before he felt a warm and soft body hugging him tightly.

This soft and delicate body that exudes a faint fragrance is directly squeezed into his arms.

Irelia's soft breasts clung to hers, and Ahri felt that she was almost suffocating in this embrace full of intense sadness, and she couldn't even breathe.

In addition to chest tightness, there was also a strange sensation that suddenly rushed into the brain.

It feels strange, but it's also subtle.

Irelia's pandan breath was also close at hand, as if their breaths were even beating together.

Ahri suddenly became a little uneasy.

"I didn't ...... It's okay...... Ellie...... "She hated her clumsy tongue at this moment, but she felt like her mind had stopped.

Everything in my consciousness has already melted away in this unexpected embrace.

Irelia threw herself into Ahri's arms and cried bitterly, her back rising and falling.

Ahri really didn't know what to say, and now his mind was full of chaos, and his thoughts seemed to be entangled in a ball of yarn, and he couldn't tell the beginning and the end in a mess.

She had no choice but to hold Irelia like this, caressing her back with her hand, and this painful emotion also seemed to hit her mind like a mountain.

This kind of sadness that seems to be the death of a loved one, why doesn't she empathize?

It's just that the feeling is more vague to her than it is to Irelia.

For the first time, Ahri felt that her body was so thin at the moment, and she was completely overwhelmed by the crying Irelia in her arms.

She felt that she was almost crushed by this emotion, and for some reason, she began to wish for a pair of arms that she could rely on, because she herself was so weak.

But at this moment, the only thing Irelia can rely on is her.

It's good to be with her like this, so that she feels that she exists, and she doesn't have to be alone. That's probably all she can do...... Maybe more?

"It's all gone." Ahri said as she slowly moved out of the room with Irelia in her arms, whipping her tail and fanning the tail wind to extinguish the oil lamp in the room.

The room was plunged into darkness.

She hugged Irelia like this, moving on her feet to the next room, Irelia's room. However, this posture is very uncomfortable, and I can't walk fast, so I can only move my pace little by little.

It's like dragging a kid who won't leave.

"Get a good night's sleep, and it's a new day." She whispered comfortingly.

The window of Irelia's room was facing the moon, and the curtains were uncovered, and the moonlight shimmered into the room.

The moonlight reflected on Irelia's cheeks, and I don't know if it was because of the moonlight, or if she was too close, and the few pitiful tear stains on her cheeks, as well as the soft lips, could be seen clearly.

Irelia's skin has always been very white and tender, originally bred by this fresh forest, as if it is not stained with mortal dust, and now it seems to be as white and shiny as ivory.

It's beautiful.

It was almost the first time that Ahri had felt Irelia's beauty like this, clearly and intentionally.

She suddenly felt like the world was spinning.

Indeed, Ahri has never been so intimate, and close to a human-

Contact, not prey.

Even her kiss of death was just enjoying the spirit, as for the kiss...... She had never really felt what it was like.

Even hugging a human like this was the first time for her.

She was suddenly curious—

What would it feel like to be a pure kiss? Why are those humans so obsessed with this?

She looked at Irelia's soft lips, and her gaze seemed to become a little foggy.

"Ah...... Ali? Irelia's face turned red all of a sudden, and the look in her eyes was confused, complicated, and a little surprised.

She couldn't even hear herself.

An inexplicable, unknown, and strange feeling, catalyzed by sadness and weakness, gradually spread and grew wildly in each other's bodies.

Irelia's weak side made her want to protect her, but Ahri felt that her shoulders were too weak, and she began to yearn for some way to comfort each other......

"Flutter! Fluttering! ”

Ahri was startled by the noise outside the window.

The strange feeling that grew wildly in the body, and the atmosphere that suddenly became ambiguous, were also like a small beast, frightened by this sudden sound and shrunk back.

It's a crow.

Annoying birds.

Flying in the night, flapping its ugly black wings, hovering over the roof with a few ugly screams, before fluttering away.

The breath of the dead attracts crows.

Ahri lifted the back of Bingbing's hand and pressed it against his already red and hot face.

"What happened to me? How could you want to talk to Irelia...... We're friends......" Ahri muttered inwardly.

She couldn't explain the strange feeling that had just been so intense, but now it had suddenly faded.
