Chapter 28: The Unspeakable Truth
readx;?——————
Zhongli Meiyi, who was sitting on the sofa, clasped her legs with her hands and leaned her chin on her knees, was watching Mu Yue inhumanely. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There was silence in the living room, save for the ticking of the clock hanging on the wall.
This time was just after noon, and Zhongli Meiyi was the only one in the family for the time being.
Looking at Zhongli Meiyi in front of her, almost the same as her mother many years later in her memory, Mu Yue was full of emotion.
"In this way, Ah Yue, you are Ah Yue from the future."
"Yes, Mother!"
"Oh...... From the future, huh? I always feel so magical, Mom, I think it's a little unreal......"
"Huh?"
"So, in order to let my mother deeply feel that Ah Yue in front of me is real, please grit your teeth!"
"Yes, I'm sorry!"
"Huh? Why apologize? ”
“…… I don't understand it, but I always think it's better to apologize first. ”
"It's really a good boy, in that case, mom, I'll give the future Ah Yue a reward kiss!"
"- No, I lied to you, in fact I am a cosmic person."
"Oops, come, raise your chin and close your eyes~"
"Wait! Why is this obviously, and you believe the answer!? ”
"Humans are also cosmic people in a broad sense."
So Mu Yue slipped and knelt on the ground and bowed deeply.
"I'm sorry I was wrong, please forgive me, my mother!"
"Weeping...... Weep...... I was hated, I was hated by the future Ah Yue, obviously at this time, Ah Yue would still be coquettish and ask my mother to take a bath together and make some cute children who can make people blush and heartbeat parent-child interaction, why would the future Ah Yue hate her mother? ”
"No, hey! How I don't remember this happening before! I haven't bathed with my mother since I went to kindergarten!! ”
"Oops-"
Zhongli Miyi smiled smugly.
"-I know this kind of thing, it seems that it is really Ah Yue."
"Mother, have you been tempting before!!!!!!
"If Ah Yue answers incorrectly, Mom, I don't mind giving Ah Yue a kiss that contains deep love! After all, my mother is determined to be the woman who wants to be Ah Yue's final harbor! ”
"That's a strange statement!"
Mu Yue was so frightened that she jumped up from the ground.
"And Mother, if you say that, Mengzhu will cry!"
"Aha, just kidding, there's a layer of what you just said to be funny!"
Mu Yue, who was dripping with cold sweat, finally recalled the fear of being dominated by her mother when she was a child, and the humiliation of almost losing her chastity.
"Okay, okay, so Ah Yue talk about it, what is it to do when you go back to the past? Are you ready to fight with your dear for my mother's belonging? That's really embarrassing for my mother...... How to choose a husband on one side and a child on the other? ”
"That's right! It's my father! ”
Hearing Zhongli Meiyi mention her father, Mu Yue's hands clapped together with a "snap".
"Huh? Is Ah Yue really here to rob my mother with my dear? - Well, Mom, I'm not ready to ......."
"What the hell are you going to prepare, hey!"
Paper fan hit!
Zhongli Meiyi (holding her head and squatting): qaq
"Uh......h It's the same paper fan as the honey, and it's exactly the same in terms of strength and rhythm. ”
"It turns out that my father often slapped my mother with a paper fan when he was alive!?"
"...... alive?"
Zhongli Meiyi, who noticed Mu Yue's statement, was suddenly stunned, and then fell into silence.
“…… Ah Yue, what do you say...... Before death? ”
The originally somewhat hilarious atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
With a bitter smile, Mu Yue said, "Actually, a few years before I came to this plane, my father had already passed away......
"Yes, yes......"
Zhongli Meiyi blinked, lowered her head and was silent.
"That...... Mother, you ...... Know the cursed thing? ”
Surprise!
Zhongli Meiyi, who was squatting on the sofa and holding her legs, raised her head and looked at Mu Yue with round eyes.
"Ah Yue, do you know too?"
"Yes, I know it all......"
At that moment, Mu Yue told Zhongli Meiyi what he knew, as well as everything that had happened since Emperor Qi took shape.
"So, Mother, I would like to ask if my father is thirty-two years old—huh? Mother-sama!? ”
Zhongli Meiyi in front of her suddenly fell into a stupor.
No, it's not that Zhongli Meiyi is in a daze, but-
Mu Yue turned her head sharply to look at the clock hanging on the wall.
In the courtyard outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the leaves blown off by the wind do not fall to the ground, but are still in mid-air.
Time, literally stopped.
Mu Yue, who was panicked, got up, quickly ran to the entrance and pushed open the door and came to the courtyard.
Leaves standing still in mid-air.
Pedestrians on the street who are not moving like wax figures.
And what I just saw, the clock on the wall that stopped moving.
Slowly returning to the living room, Mu Yue, who was sitting on the sofa again, took a deep breath and gave up the idea of telling the truth.
The next moment, time flows again.
“…… Well? What do you want to say? ”
"Well, I want to ask, Mother, Father, how old is this year-"
Time stopped, once again.
Mu Yue tightly twisted her eyebrows.
I didn't feel any breath of spiritual power, and I didn't perceive any signs of Taoism or magic activation.
It's as if the world itself is preventing Mu Yue from telling the truth.
When Mu Yue gave up the idea of asking Zhongli Meiyi again, the world returned to normal.
"Ah Yue, what do you want to ask?"
“…… Well, I would like to ask, where is my father now? ”
"So? Did Ah Yue come back to save her dear? ”
Although this is not Mu Yue's purpose of going back to the past, now that he has the opportunity, Mu Yue is of course willing to save his father's life that is about to disappear at any cost.
Even if there is no clue exactly how to do it, at least Mu Yue hopes to see his father as soon as possible.
Nodding, Mu Yue said, "Yes, Mother, where is Father now?" ”
"Hmm...... Now that the future Ah Yue knows the truth, it doesn't matter if you tell you. ”
After a pause, Zhongli Meiyi stretched out his finger and pointed to his lips and said.
"My dear, I'm in Japan right now." (To be continued.) )
