The imperial capital, where the millennium of prosperity is located.

No matter how decayed it is, the light on the surface has never been erased in the slightest.

It's no wonder that this is where the countrymen aspire.

……

"Imperial Capital, I'm back......" A trace of trance flashed in Luo Ya's eyes.

It was as if I had been touched by an incomparably distant memory, and everything around me began to become illusory.

Except for the girl called Red Hitomi.

Everything that I thought I had forgotten came to my mind at this moment, and Loya was almost struggling to get rid of those memories, but there was nothing she could do.

He is not a ruthless person, how can the emotions buried deep in his heart be suppressed?

Just like a pent-up volcano, once it erupts, it will be unstoppable.

At this moment, the outburst of emotion made Luo Ya almost fall into a dizziness.

I can't tell the difference between reality and memory, and I am almost lost in the vortex of memory.

The smile of the elder brother, the approval of the adoptive father, the gentleness of the adoptive mother, and the naughty adoptive father's child.

Once, that child also pestered himself, pretending to be an adult, and performing his maturity in an old-fashioned manner.

What kind of time was that time, which is indescribable with laughter!

……

However, the memory began to take on a blurry state, as if it had been violently cut apart by something, and Loya seemed to hear a "click" sound. Fragments of memory swept over the already powerful but fragile boy, and these things were still too heavy for him to carry.

That monstrous fire, that bloody massacre, that cowardice of oneself......

Loya also regretted it, despised herself at the beginning, buried herself under the cold shell, tried to cover up her fear in this ridiculous way, and used the disgust and fear of others to form her own protected shell.

If you don't have contact with other people anymore, you won't be hurt anymore.

Loya had thought so.

So, on days when the cold wind was howling, there was still a teenager in the northern steppe who was fighting against dangerous species.

His disdain, his anger, were all suppressed in his heart, and in the same way he pressed on the dangerous species he had slain.

The young man knew that his strength could not complete that revenge at all, so he sharpened himself in a more depressed state of mind, forcing himself to become stronger and protect everything he cherished. However, his indifferent eyes threw out all the closeness that could have been grasped, and stubbornly isolated himself from others in this almost stupid way.

Until...... That one encounter.

The girl's long black hair smelled good in the wind, and in that gentle way, she rescued a sullen man with glasses who was beaten by him. The worry and tenderness that flashed in the red pupils made the cold teenager fall in love at first sight.

From then on, the boy paid attention to the girl, silently guarding her with the strength he had gained between life and death, and thought that he would be satisfied if he continued like this, but what happened next was beyond his expectations.

The seemingly stupid girl actually has a more delicate heart than anyone else, she has long found the boy who guards her princess like a knight, and she suddenly finds that she can't do without that nasty guy.

This stupid guy who always guards himself stupidly, and always treats himself as a big idiot.

She was frightened by this inexplicable relationship, and after a few years of getting along, she had become accustomed to the existence of that teenager.

She was reluctant to let him leave her side.

In fact, on that day, in addition to the red pupil, there were two other people who had their own ideas.

Green sat in the room, but his mood was not calm, pushing his glasses, and whispering: "Tomorrow is the pursuit mission of the Emperor's envoy, once I successfully survive, I must confess to the red pupil, I must ......"

Recalling the gentleness and cuteness of the red pupil at that time, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of Green's mouth.

Silently cheering himself up, Green seemed to see hope within reach.

The only obstacle is the guy named Loya.

Green thought of this, but was a little depressed.

Akatomi has been getting very close to that guy lately, and if you look closely, it seems that Akatomi has some attachment to that guy, so the situation will be very bad for you......

Not to mention the needless annoyances that Green did, in fact, it was useless to mention it.

Because, on the second day, in the process of chasing Brad, due to the meeting of the three imperial envoys, the originally safe mission became a battle for the dead, and Green was the unlucky ghost who fell in a pool of blood.

All the troubles disappeared in that moment.

Before Green died, he lay on his back on the ground, thinking only one thing: "Red pupils, I can only give that guy Loya cheaply...... Perhaps, there's nothing wrong with letting him take care of Red Hitomi, he's really much better than me...... However, if that kid dares to bully Red Hitomi, I won't let him go! ”

Thinking of this, the corners of Green's mouth showed a smile again, and he couldn't tell if it was bitterness or what, and then he lost the breath of life and passed away......

……

The eve of Green's death.

Outside Green's room, there was a sneaky figure.

It was Loya.

"Sure enough, does Green like red pupils?" Luo Ya pondered, and suddenly thought of the tenderness of the red pupil to Green when he first saw him, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of bitterness in his heart, or say something other inexplicable taste, "Red pupil, it's also interesting to Green, right?" ”

They love each other, so what do I do?

I don't want to ruin their love anymore, and I don't want people to hurt me anymore.

Especially the red pupils......

The person I want to protect the most.

Sure enough, is leaving silently the right choice?

Luo Ya walked silently, lifting the luggage that had already been packed, and the plan to leave again tomorrow was immediately advanced.

"I don't want to watch them show affection......," Loya thought, stepping on the blue-black stone bricks on the floor.

His direction was exactly where he left this place.

Friends who have lived together for several years are still hard to part......

Red Hitomi, Cornelia, Tsukushi, Nahasho, Bonnie, Guy, and even that somewhat annoying Grimm, it's still unforgettable......

Loya lowered her head, immersed in sadness, and then turned her gaze firmly ahead, muttering, "But, I'm just a humble avenger......"

Avengers, don't need companions who will be dragged down by themselves.

They are the proudest lone wolves on the grasslands, inflicting more profound pain on all who have hurt them with their sharp teeth and claws. In the battle of the jungle, step by step approaching the throne of the king.

One last affectionate glance back at the residence, Loya retracted the last of her tenderness, her sharp gaze almost distinguishing him from everyone. It was cold and terrible that people didn't want to get close to.

The lonely Avenger has taken his next step.

"Good luck to all of you......"

"I'm an Avenger......"

In a low voice, Luo Ya did not hesitate any longer, and strode forward.

shattered the image of the last black-haired red-eyed girl in his heart.

……

At that time, Red Hitomi was on her way to Loya's room.

The sound of her heartbeat just now made her startle, her face was flushed, and she was cute.

"Is this what Martha said she likes?" Red Hitomi thought of the person who was killed by himself and cared about him, and he didn't feel a little gloomy in his heart, but he immediately lifted his spirit, "Red Hitomi, you will definitely do it!" ”

But standing at Loya's door, Red Hitomi hesitated again.

"Should I go in or not......"

I suddenly remembered what Martha said, "Men chase women, next mountain; Women chase men, interlayer yarn" and "pierce that layer of yarn, love can be realized nine times out of ten", Chitong made up her mind, the big deal is to be rejected!

After plucking up the courage to push the door open, the red pupil froze: it was empty, and there was no luggage.

All around were empty, except for a letter on the table, and Red Hitomi hurriedly ran over to open it.

It reads:

"Goodbye, fellow partners. Thank you for taking care of you during this time, especially the red pupils, and thank you for the tenderness that melted my cold heart. However, I have to apologize that I am an avenger, destined to be a lonely person, and cannot let any of you get caught up in my maelstrom. So I had no choice but to leave, in this cunning and silent way. Maybe it's a bit despicable, but I still wish you: Nahasiu, you and Boni must succeed. Green, I know your thoughts, and I also know what Red Pupils mean to you, and I hope you two can have a good time in the future. I really envy you, the gentleness of the red pupils is always the warmest sunshine in winter! Black Hitomi, you're the sister of Red Hitomi, so I hope you can get your own happiness. Astin, there is no need to say more between us, let's greet each other with our fists on the battlefield. Athea, of course, and the black pupils, take less medicine, that's poison to the body. ”

"Finally, I would like to warn you that the elite group is not as immaculate and beautiful as you think, and that many of the so-called criminals are actually the prophets who are working to transform this declining country. They have dedicated their precious lives for the sake of their ideals, and although they are different from our philosophy, they are definitely worthy of respect. I hope you don't get too poisoned by the Empire's brainwashing education, leave a glimmer of room in everything, no matter what it is, you must have your own judgment criteria, and don't listen to other people's words, even if it is the words of your beloved father. ”

This is all I can give my blessings and advice, and I hope you will be able to understand it. In the end, forgive me for my cunning, I don't want to go through any crying of life and death. The next time we meet, we may be enemies, so let's save our lives until the moment we meet me. Maybe then, I might let you go for the sake of my old friend! ”

Silently reading the entire letter, the corners of the red pupil's eyes flashed with crystal tears: "Idiot, I obviously like you...... Why make your own decisions and be self-righteous! Why do you want to do such a cruel thing! ”

Suddenly, Red Hitomi seemed to feel someone behind her putting his hand on her shoulder, it turned out to be Black Hitomi, and hurriedly hid her crying, but the red circles under her eyes and the hoarseness of her voice completely betrayed her.

The black pupil just looked at her sister quietly, and then gently spit out a sentence: "Sister, if this is your decision, then go after it." ”

"Hmm." Red Hitomi nodded, and hurriedly ran out of the house.

Leaving the black pupil in place, he whispered to himself, "If this is my sister's wish, I won't stop it." ”

Only a few tears dripped down the ......

……

"Goodbye, my fellows......" Loya retracted his last glance at the village, and took a determined step.

Step by step, they drifted apart, and never met their former partners again.

It should be, but the gears of fate always like to play some jokes.

When they bite tightly, the fate of Red Hitomi and Loya is decided at that moment.

"Why do you want to do this?" The red pupil who ran out of the house reached out and grabbed Loya's black trench coat tightly. The red pupils are lined with red and swollen eye circles. Two large, agile eyes stared at Loya's head.

Identifying the person as a red pupil from the voice, Loya was reluctant to twist back his head, which had managed to turn in the opposite direction.

He almost buried his head in the collar, as if trying to avoid any eye contact with Red Hitomi.

Once she meets that equally gentle girl, Loya's heart will not have a chance to harden again......

But Red Hitomi obviously wouldn't let the other party go so easily, and she moved her steps to block the way in front of Loya.

"Red Pupil ......" Luo Ya's voice was a little shaken, and suddenly remembered that in those years together, although he had not expressed his heart to the girl, the black-haired and red-eyed girl had already been in the company day after day, with her almost incomprehensible tenderness, melted Luo Ya's last cold defense line, and became an indispensable part of Luo Ya's life.

Perhaps, Luo Ya will only feel this regret when he completely leaves the red pupil, this irreversible attachment, but because of his stubbornness, it is buried in his heart, and it stings his already fragile heart from time to time......

From this point of view, fate still favored Luo Ya and did not give him the opportunity to grieve in vain.

The innocent gaze of the red pupil almost blocked all the words that Luo Ya wanted to say.

I had already thought about it when I met various partners, and I said those middle two and cold words handsomely, leaving them with a deep impression that I was very powerful, and then I walked away, leaving a little handsome and powerful.

It is enough for them to remember that they are only strong.

However, once he met Red Hitomi, all of Loya's thoughts died, and for this girl, he couldn't do anything to hurt her, and every time he hurt her, it was like destroying his heart tenfold and hundredfold.

"I'm sorry......" Luoya's eyes wandered, trying to avoid meeting the red pupil's gaze, and the words came out of his mouth.

"Don't go, okay?" The red pupil's eyes seem to come from the incomparably distant starry sky, and the red and black pupils are so beautiful and deep that it is almost impossible to leave the sight.

But this amazing beauty, for this Luo Ya, is destined to be just a torment.

What I think is right, is it really right?

Can I really be so determined that my desire is to leave?

Am I really not attached to these idiots?

In a trance, Luo Ya was defenseless in front of the red pupil.

The red pupil was quick, and took advantage of this opportunity to tightly wrap Luo Ya's body with his arms, and before the other party had time to react, he continued to ask: "Don't go, okay?" ”

The re-intersection of the two eyes made Luo Ya panic, and wanted to retreat, but was hugged tightly by the red pupil, whose beautiful eyes were almost forcing his hind legs, but his body couldn't react like this.

Unable to make a move to hurt the red pupil, Luo Ya couldn't get out at all.

Especially under the eye attack of the red pupil, Luo Ya's momentum is getting weaker and weaker, and now, it is better to say, it is better to talk than nothing. It's really different from the coldness when you make up your mind to leave.

"Okay, okay." Loya stammered back, his eyes wandering.

"Hmm." Tears fell from the eyes of the red pupils, maybe it was tears of joy, or maybe it was something else?

"Red Hitomi, are you alright?" Luo Ya asked with concern, but was startled by the next action of the red pupil.

"Hmm......" The lips of the red pupils gently touched Loya's lips, and the gentle collision was almost a long feeling beyond centuries, and the boy and girl seemed to feel that time had frozen, ticking beside themselves.

That's a few seconds, but for these two people, it's not calm.

Suddenly separated, and both of them had some red eyes on their faces.

And the initiator, the red pupil, had already run away with a flushed face, leaving only one sentence: "Okay, don't go!" ”

Luo Ya gently touched her lips with her hand, feeling that there seemed to be some girlish fragrance on it, and there seemed to be a girl's smell left beside her, and she was stupid for a while.

"Don't worry, I won't leave, I will protect your ...... with my life," muttered to herself, and Loya made the most important vow of her life.

At that time, he didn't think about what price he would pay for it.

Even if in the end, the price is indeed unbearable for him.

……

The red pupils who ran away gasped for breath, and they also expressed their confusion about their actions just now.

"What's wrong with me?" Red Hitomi thought blankly, "Is this what Martha is talking about in love?" ”

Martha once said that the kissing of a girl and a boy is very holy.

That's a testimony of love.

……

In the darkness of the woods, a dark shadow moved slowly.

Looking at its direction, it is also back to the village.

That petite figure, but it was the black pupil.

After witnessing the whole process, she unconsciously felt a little ripple in her heart.

"How can my sister do that kind of thing!"

Thinking almost angrily, the black pupil's mouth was cocked high.

I don't know when, she also had a little bit of affection for the boy named Luoya, who seemed to be admiring and liking?

Although it is still much lighter than her sister, the black pupil is also aware of her own intentions.

Especially when she saw Luo Ya's sassy and heroic appearance when she completed the task recently, she didn't feel a little heartbeat.

However, this feeling does not belong to her.

Loya is the person my sister likes.

At this point, the black pupil is convinced. In daily life, my sister's behavior is getting weirder and weirder, and her attention to Loya is getting higher and higher. As a pillow person, the black pupil has a deep feeling for this situation.

And Luo Ya seems to like her sister too.

Then bury this feeling in your heart and bless them silently.

When two people I love come together, but I have nothing, I think about it, I am really a little unwilling......

Crystal tears swirled again in the black pupil's eyes.

Looking back into the distance, what will tomorrow's task be?

Even if I think about it like this, it's really useless, and my heart really hurts......

……

There is also a dark shadow.

It was Green.

He returned to the village in despair.

Originally, he was following the red pupil out, but he saw such a scene.

The huge blow to his spirit can be imagined.

originally thought that maybe there would be a chance in the future, but he could only sleep underground with this blind optimism.

The next day, it was the encounter that resulted from the hunt for Brad.

Green, the only one who died.

……
