Chapter 12: Black
Hurry up! Hurry up!
The wind began to blow wantonly in my ears, and the more I ran up the mountain, the darker the world became.
That feeling of uneasiness made Ritsuko just want to go home as soon as possible and return to Mrs. Nangong's side at the moment.
Jingle ...... Jingle ......
"We're meeting again, Ritsuko-sama."
The sound of the bell rang a few times in the distance, and with its owner, it slowly floated down in front of Ritsuko's eyes.
The toes touched the ground lightly, like a dragonfly touching water.
After three or two rings, the bell attached to the man's feet regained its calm.
"Is that you?" Ritsuko was blocked by someone who came, so she had to look up and see that it was the blood-red eyes that were on her face.
"Ritsuko-sama, you remember me! It's just wonderful. The young man's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, as if he was happy.
"I'm sorry, I still have some things at home, I have to go back first, if you have anything, don't let me come to you next time, you can tell me again." Ritsuko walked around the boy's side and was about to continue walking.
It was only after a few steps that she saw the pair of bell-tied feet appear in her sight.
She looked up in disbelief, and the young man's eyes narrowed slightly, and a weird smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "I can't let you go back now, Miss Ritsuko." ”
"If something happens to my mother...... Ritsuko saw the scenery in front of her turn red and twisted for a moment, but after a closer look, the world returned to its clear appearance.
"At least...... Not yet, Ritsuko-sama, just spend a little time with me. The boy smiled and lowered his head.
Ritsuko saw a trace of sadness in his eyes.
"That'...... It can only be for a while. Ritsuko couldn't help but soften her heart for a while.
If it's just for a while, it should be fine......
Strange, isn't Snow Ridge a little too quiet today?
It seemed that from the moment the young man appeared in front of Ritsu, all the small sounds she could hear before had disappeared from her ears, and the whimper of the beast that could be discerned in the back room had now disappeared, except for the sound of the boy's breathing.
Ritsuko wanted to ask what was going on, but in the face of the boy who had only met for the second time, she couldn't ask anyway.
That's a cloud ghost with a human skin!
"Great! That's great! Ritsuko-sama is willing to stay with me! The boy's voice became lighter, and he tapped his toes around Ritsuko's body, and finally sat on a branch that was slightly thicker than the others.
The bell on his feet rang softly as his swaying feet.
"Then I'm ...... Is there anything that needs to be done? Ritsuko stood on the stone steps and turned sideways to see the young man's appearance, if he hadn't told her first, she wouldn't have thought of him in the direction of the cloud ghost anyway.
"Isn't Ritsuko-sama curious about how I found out your name?"
"Seeing that you will appear here, you should also live near Xueling, and I am a child of the Nangong family, so it's not surprising that you will know my name, right?"
"I don't live in a place like Snow Ridge." In the blink of an eye, the boy disappeared from the tree in front of Ritsuko's eyes, and just as she was about to look around, the boy's voice appeared in her ears again, "To be precise, it's Ritsuko-sama that you entered my space." ”
Ritsuko's heart beat a few beats faster, and she hurriedly turned her head, only to see the boy floating in the air like a paper kite.
"Your ...... Space? ”
"Yes, this is a world I created with my strength!" The young man straightened up, took a few steps in the air, opened his arms, and lowered his head to meet Ritsuko, "With Ritsuko's extraordinary ear power, it shouldn't be difficult to find that this place is too quiet to speak, right?" ”
"It does ......"
"Ritsuko-san." The young man leaned closer to Ritsuko's face again, making her reflexively step back, and clearly saw the blood-red six-pointed star in his eyes, "It's nice to meet you, my name is Lu Li." ”
