Chapter 157: Asahto Maru's Journey (5)
Magic, the world is changing, the secret technique of the Lange family. The lifespan of those who have learned the mutation of heaven and earth is no more than thirty years old. Hogg, who has the same fate as Lele, hears his words as a joke to others, but his smile seems to me to be a cover-up. So as Hogra took my hand and walked to the deck, I used the Flame to find out what was going on in his body, and it turned out to be worse than I thought.
"Hello, Richard. Hogg waved at the man in glasses and let go of me, running towards him.
"Go away. β
"Don't be so cold. β
Josh spotted Hogg and ran for him, pulling him into a corner. From Josh, who didn't know what a whisper was, it seemed that the two were talking about the soul contractor again.
"Richard," I asked, leaning closer to the man in glasses, "Hogg only lives to be thirty?"
"You already know. β
"Hogg told me. β
"Yes," Richard nudged his glasses, "it's not a secret, but it's still little known." Hogg trusts you. β
Or maybe he was just trying to win my sympathy. β
"It's also possible. β
Looking at the two people who were together, I continued to ask Richard, "What is the change in heaven and earth?"
Richard was silent for a long time, and then replied, "A magic that can transform into all things in heaven and earth." Sounds great, but it comes at a terrible cost. β
"Referring to shortened lifespan?"
"It's one of the costs, but it's much more than that. β
When three out of ten students came to the deck, Richard saw it and said, "The secret technique of the Lange family, your Yi family is not qualified to explore. With that, Richard leaned away from me and leaned against the railing to look into the distance.
The Asaki Maru deck was clean and comfortable, and from the moment I stepped on it, I had the idea of rolling on the ground. Two waiters have already arranged seating, dessert and drinks for us. Today, the sun is shining, the sea breeze is refreshing, and I am in a happy mood when I look at the sea and the sky from a seat.
"Yuta, I don't think the speed of Asahimaru's progress is slow, why did it take us three days to get to the Suzuki clan. "While the yellow-haired boy brought me ice cream, I asked.
"Before arriving in Baicai City, we need to pass through several islands to get a customs clearance certificate. There are three islands, some distance from each other. β
"Yo roar......" Josh's voice rang in his ears.
Turning to the bow of the boat, I almost squirted out the drink I had just drunk. I saw Josh and Hogg make a scene like in a classic romance movie, Josh roaring in front and Hogg flying behind. Isn't this order reversed?
"It's so good, I want to join them too. β
My eyes wandered between Yuta and Josh and Hogg, and it dawned on me that there might be similarities in the personalities of these three people.
"Yuta Suzuki, how can you be half-hearted when entertaining guests?" appeared Suzuki Kei.
"I'm sorry, Miss Jing. β
Ignoring Yuta's compliment, Kei Suzuki walked up to me and bent down to apologize to me, "I'm really sorry, he didn't cause you trouble, did he?"
Not only did he not, but he was so devoted to entertaining me that I wanted to hire him home as a minister. "I'm kidding.
Suzuki Kei looked up slightly, and I felt dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"I'm sorry for your lack of discipline and I really don't deserve to be your servant, please think again. β
"Ah, I was just going to say I'm sorry, I didn't think much about it......"
Kei Suzuki smiled fakely: "You don't have to apologize. β
"That," I said embarrassedly, "can you use the honorifics, it sounds good." My name is Yi Jiahe, and I am Yi ...... It's a fire elemental mage. Also, can I always call you by your first name and call you Jing-chan in the future?"
Suzuki Keichi was stunned and smiled sincerely: "Of course you can." β
"Kei-chan, you said before that Kojiro often called you that. Does he like you?"
Suzuki's smile disappeared instantly. I thought she was angry, but I saw a flush on her face.
"Yes, I'm sorry, we still have something to do, farewell. Kei Suzuki waved his hand and motioned for Yuta to follow, and left in a hurry.
It's an undeniable fact that Jing likes Kojiro. So, where is Haruka Suzuki's position?
"Yi Jiahe," Ma Chao sat across from me, "that is strawberry ice cream?"
I thought he wanted it, so I handed him the cup in my hand.
"No, I'm just asking. β
Half a minute later, Ma Chao spoke again: "Is there pizza here?"
I shook my head to indicate that I didn't know.
"You, are you still feeling guilty for hurting me before? β
I looked around and noticed Xiao Hui's line of sight.
"If you really don't want to go, let me beat you up so you'll be balanced. Ma Chao smiled.
"Can you cure me?"
Ma Chao shook his head.
"If it can't be cured, why should I let you fight?"
Ma Chao was dumbfounded.
Lilith, still in her swimsuit, came up, "Isn't that ice cream? There's ice cream here?"
"You can ask Yuta or Kenna, they are waitresses. β
Eating ice cream, he looked at Lilith and realized that this kid had star potential.
"Why are you staring at me with squinting eyes?" Lilith protected herself.
"Because you're beautiful. "I'm particularly fond of joking today, is it because of the language system that I eat ice cream?
Lilith blushed and ran away. For girls, sweet heart-warming words are really nirvana.
"He has a crush on you. Ma Chao stared at Lilith.
"Impossible, unless she likes uncle-style characters. β
Ma Chao turned to me, first with a puzzled expression, then with a slight smile. I glanced at him and continued to watch Josh and Hogg's burlesque.
Leaning on the railing with my back to the sea, I felt the natural scenery in the image of my son. Unfortunately, Ken Suzuki came to my side and looked into the distance without a sound.
"The deck is so big, don't go there and come here. "I deliberately raised my voice.
Ken Suzuki was silent. With the Pyroyana perception, I learned that Ken Suzuki was at peace.
"Ken, go help Yuta, or he'll get into trouble. "Suzuki is coming.
Ken Suzuki, who left according to Suzuki Zun, didn't say a word, could it be that he just came to see the scenery?
"The sea is wonderful. "The handsome boy Suzuki is smiling brightly in the sun.
"What a change in mentality. What's going on?"
"A lot of things. β
"Tell me about it. β
Suzuki has become a person who always wears a smile on his face.
"The mage's soul contract armament is time-limited, three minutes. However, I used a drug in my duel with you that allowed me to continue to maintain the Soul Pact arms three minutes away, and you can see the results. Due to the side effects of this medication, my body suddenly underwent a mutation. At the end of the day, I was to blame. β
"And then?"
Suzuki smiled at me like a mentally handicapped child and said, "Have you forgotten, you cured me." I did a check-up afterwards and there was nothing abnormal. β
It seems that there is such a thing. Not only Suzuki, but also the fatally battered Gollum has also recovered under the effect of my Pyantom. After that, I tried to activate the powerful healing effect of the Flame again, but the results were not as good as then.
"Miracle, that's not an exaggeration. β
I turned around nonchalantly. Although the appearance of leaning against the railing is handsome, a veritable handsome guy is right next to me, and I am just a clown who has lost fans under the dazzling light.
"At the request of the Suzuki clan, I was sent back to Kamiki Village for trial. With the patriarch abdicating and the elders unable to decide whether I would live or die, the Suzuki clan imprisoned me in a cage to wait for the new patriarch to succeed to the throne. β
"And then Kojiro came back and rescued you?"
"Yes. The fool didn't care about his past suspicions, and said that since I had been put on a curse of life and death, there was no need to put me in prison. β
I interjected, "Really?"
"As long as the leader of this life and death curse is eliminated, the life and death curse will be lifted. Since there is only one leader, and I have seen with my own eyes who the leader is, if I really want to break free from the shackles of the curse of life and death, I can entrust Miwako to destroy the other party. β
"Heh, I think you have a way, too. By the way, why did you name the Queen of Plants Miwako?"
I asked Richard why he named the woman in the fog Lisa: "Lisa was the name of my first love, and after breaking up with me, I fell in love with another man, but I was deceived by the other party, and finally died in a car accident. The accident was purely accidental and had nothing to do with the man. β
Just when I wanted to comfort Richard, he said seriously, "What I told you just now was a joke. β
I can cure nonsense like Josh and Hogg with Pyrotherm, but I can't do anything to a serious Richard.
Later, Richard told me that Lisa was the name of the woman in the fog during her lifetime.
She had almost forgotten the past, and all that remained in her memory was that she was called Lisa, the last gift the gods had given her. β
Suzuki leaned his arms against the railing and leaned on it like a child, looking into the distance.
"Miwako is my mother's name. My mother was not originally from the Suzuki family, she married into the Suzuki family from a foreign tribe. When I was three years old, my father died, leaving me alone, my mother and my sister. My mother was determined to raise my sister and me alone. The burden was extremely heavy for her, but she still carried it.
"After I met Kojiro, his mother, Ms. Kashika Suzuki, introduced my mother to work as a maid in a family with a high status in the branch. Kojiro's mother was thoughtful and didn't let us stay at So's house, even if she recommended us, we might still be humiliated in secret. Obviously, as grateful to Ms. Kagami, she failed to realize that the human heart is extremely perishable.
"When I was seven years old, my mother died. Before she died, she called me to the side and told me that Suzuki Kojiro's family is our benefactor, and we must repay this kindness even if we are cows and horses. My mother walked peacefully, and she believed that my sister and I would live happily ever after.
"My mother is gone, and I continue to work in that family as a maid schoolchild. They treated my sister and me very well, and I thought I could live so happily.
Later, the Kojiro family left the Suzuki family, and everything changed.
"The head of the family told me that the clan was putting pressure on them, and that wild children like my sister and I couldn't stay there. The head of the family gave me a little money and asked me to leave the Suzuki clan with my sister. β
Suzuki looked at me, smiled, and said, "You know the rest of the story." It was as if the blessings given to us by Kojiro's family had disappeared, and my sister and I were living a difficult life with our mother's hopes in the midst of the calamities that kept coming. So, yes, I gave the name Miwako, the queen of plants, to remember my mother. β
"You gave her your mother's name, and the Queen of Plants didn't mess with you?"
"Nope. On the contrary, she seemed happy. β
"Why?"
The faint scent of plants came to my nose, and the queen of plants stood beside me and replied, "Because the name given by your lover is more precious than the diamond you love." β
"Are you there?"
"It's always there. The two of them said in unison.
I moved to the other side of Suzuki to avoid being flanked by the two of them, and asked, "Bring the Queen of Plants on board, Suzuki Kei didn't say anything?"
"The little girl was a little upset at first, but she knew she couldn't fight against me on her own. Later, she allowed me to accompany Zun under my charm. β
Am I missing something?
Jing likes flowers and trees, so Miwako shows the blood-thin cherry blossoms - of course, the non-lethal cherry blossoms - and Jing has become a fan of Miwako. Suzuki smiled sweetly.
"She's the kind of person who does it without saying anything...... It seems that there is a cute side too. It's better than Yu Jingjing in our class, haha......"
"What are you talking about?"
I want to pull Suzuki on my back as a curtain.
"Plant Queen, why are you here?" Yu Jingjing was not too surprised.
Saluting to Yu Jingjing, the plant queen disappears. I suspect she has the same abilities as a chameleon.
"Jingjing, what's wrong?"
Is your relationship good enough to be called by name?
"Don't call me by name. When I was relieved that Xiao Hui was not cuckolded, Yu Jingjing waved to Suzuki Zun, "You come with me, I have something to tell you." β
Things seem to be turning bad again.
Looking at the backs of the two people, I felt sad for Xiao Hui.
There is still an hour left until the deck closes. I looked at Josh and Hogg, who were finally bored, and thought to myself that they had mistimed their performances.
The best time for me to fantasize about soaring on deck with my lover is when the sun sets over the sea. Why not the rising sun, because I can't get up from a snooze? If my lover pulls me to watch the sun rise at dawn, I must be sleepy-eyed, as if I would fall into the sea at any moment. That's true, I don't know if my lover will jump into the water to save me. A beautiful woman saves handsome, it sounds like a moving love story.
"Aren't you going back?" Ma Chao asked me.
"What are you going to do?"
Ma Chao looked at the classmates who were returning to the lower floor and said, "I can't play on the deck, I just look at the scenery and get sick." There is plenty of space on the lower floor, plenty of entertainment facilities, and the air quality is better than the upper one because of the air purifier. β
"yes. β
"And you're still sitting here?"
"Because I'm a boring man. β
Ma Chao, who was confused, said goodbye to me. The deck was full of people, and I was the only one left.
I wasn't a lonely person since I was a child. As a kid I had a lot of companions and eventually parted ways. I've heard that some people get married just after graduating from college. I was envious and jealous, and then I found myself humble, and I became more and more lonely.
When loneliness consumes you, you don't feel lonely anymore. Maybe it's numbness, or maybe I've become lonely. When I'm alone, I don't feel sad, I just feel calm. There is no such figure, no same kind of voice, as if I am the only human being in the world. In the illusion of the last days, my mind is as calm as water, which is really abnormal.
"Alone?" Suzuki Kei approached.
Sitting cross-legged on the deck, I turned to look at her and replied, "Everyone went to the lower level, I didn't." β
"Why not?"
"Lazy. I smiled at her, "Actually, I want to see the sunset." β
"The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk. Suzuki looked into the distance, "Don't you have such a poem there? Although the sunset is intoxicating, it is also a precursor to nightfall." β
"I love the sunset, whether it's near the night or not. If you like it, you like it, and if you like it, you can't help it. What I love is the sunset. Because I like the sunset, I also like dusk, and I can even accept the night. What I love is all things in Mother Nature. At the same time......"
I closed my mouth and became a quiet beautiful man.
"In more than ten minutes, the deck will be closed. β
"Isn't it eighteen o'clock in the dive, just let me stay until half-past seventeen. β
"No, I can't. In order for the Asto Maru to be converted into a submarine launch, it is necessary to close its built-in barrier. Although the barrier unleashed by the defenders on the Asaki Maru is sufficient to fend off the enemy, its built-in barrier has the effect of seeking enemies in an area. With no knowledge of the invasion and you on deck, there may be enemies who will continue to gather people and use you as a hostage to launch a surprise attack on us. β
"Ask a question, why do you have to let Asto Maru go into the water?"
"There are many dangers lurking at night, and we can't risk putting the Asaki Maru above the sea. β
I didn't say anything, and Suzuki Jing didn't say anything.
"Mr. Yi, if you know, pleaseβ"
"Who is the enemy?"
The sea breeze blows. In the distance, the sun seems to change color. The picture I was looking forward to would probably come sooner.
"We can't say for sure who the enemy is, but they may be closer than we think. "The Class Six Winds Mage of the Red Academy of Elemental Magic has appeared.
"Yi Jiahe, it's not that we can't trust you. It's just that everything we say is our speculation. Until you find a definite basis, I hope you don't tell anyone else about our conversation. β
Getting up, I prepared to go back to my room: "One last question to you, why did you tell me about this?"
"Because you are a member of the Yi family. Yu Jingjing said.
"That's it?"
"There is another reason......
Kei Suzuki, who hesitated, finally gave the reason.
When I opened the door, I was greeted by a chaotic scene.
"What are you doing? Josh, Hogg, get off my bed. Alex, please don't bring ice cream to your room. Kim Yingying and Lilith, am I dazzled, what are you two doing in the boys' room? Richard and Park Ji-woo, why are you playing chess on Xiao Hui's bed? Ah, Charlie, be careful, don't throw nunchucks in the roomβdon't you all think it's dangerous?"
Someone hit me in the back.
"Yi Jiahe, are you back?"
It was Xiao Hui who spoke, and it was Ma Chao who hit me, and they and Adam were holding a plate with popcorn on it.
"Watching a movie?"
Ma Chao nodded, and then pushed me into the room.
"Do you remember Mr. John King and Mr. Mark Walker?"
"Of course, I just forgot about the pre-school days, not just the days I took. β
"They came back to the academy when you were in Gerst, and they brought us a collection of movies from the ordinary world. β
"It's a magician's movie. Josh shouted.
"Then, why did you come to my room with Xiao Hui to come and see?"
Ma Chao smiled: "It's not that I'm worried that you're angry about hurting me, I'm afraid that you will do something stupid." β
Xiao Hui nodded: "We all know that Yi Jiahe is actually a delicate person. Although you said to Ma Chao that it was okay, you felt guilty in your heart. β
"So we came to your room and gave you encouragement, even though my purpose was to watch a movie. Lilith gave me a quick look.
Xiao Hui smiled: "Guardians often say that we are a family, and everyone is an indispensable member. The family is sad, how can we ignore it. β
"People have called you, why don't you start? The boy is really slow to die. "Cheetah is there.
In the guest rooms where the size of the space cannot be adjusted, students play chess and watch movies (slapsticks are forbidden). A bed is reserved for the intellectuals who concentrate on the duel, and a bed is reserved for the noble three heroines. I sat on the ground, Xiao Hui sat on my left, and Ma Chao sat on my right. Then, the movie begins.
"Because it's warm, it's hateful. Because of peace, hate it. Because of love, so hate. β
Everyone's attention was on the screen generated in the guest room, and no one saw one of them in tears.
As if in response to the undercurrent surging in my heart, the lurking evil thing revealed its deformed form.
