In the wooden house, four young people in a circle stared blankly at the flames in the stove.

"It's so warm. Adam said.

"yes, it's warm. Park Ji-woo agreed.

Jin Yingying looked at Park Ji-woo, and when she saw Park Ji-woo smiling at her, Jin Yingying's face flushed.

"Where are we?" asked Jin Yingying.

"It's a paradise modeled after Hokkaido. Suzuki replied.

Adam got up and looked outside and said, "It's still snowing." ”

"Hmm. The crowd answered.

Four people gathered around the fire. The flames weakened, and Suzuki helped to burn. The steam is less, Adam reinforces the utensils, and Park Ji-woo adds water. The room was stuffy, and Jin Yingying was blowing. In this way, the four of them waited quietly in the room.

"Boom", the wooden door opened, and the shadow warrior entered.

"Please close the door, thank you. Park Ji-woo said.

The Shadow Warrior looked behind him, closed the door, and then unloaded his arms and squeezed between Suzuki and Park Ji-woo.

"I said, big brother and sister, I'm here to fight you to the death, please don't nest here, okay?"

"Zero five, it's snowing outside, and you see you're blue and purple from the cold. Come, I'll warm your hands. ”

"Oh, thank you, big brother. ”

Park Ji-woo said: "But ah, a child like you, who hasn't graduated from elementary school, how can he become a shadow warrior?"

"Life is forced. Twelve-year-old Zero-Five looked back at the heightened equipment he had added, and turned to ask everyone for water.

Jin Yingying looked at the scars on Zero Five's face and asked him, "There, does it hurt?"

"I used to feel pain all the time, but now I don't feel much anymore. ”

Zero Five took a sip of water and said happily, "Brother Zhiyu's water is so sweet." ”

"You can't hold water without my utensils. ”

"Without me heating it for you, you'll only get cold water. ”

Zero Five leaned on Park Ji-woo, and that expression made everyone snicker.

"Don't tease me," Zero Five said, putting down the empty metal bowl, "Although I'm not very old, I'm a shadow warrior and have killed countless enemies ......."

"Let's put your deeds aside for a while. Zero-Five, are you sure we can't get out of this paradise?"

The young man pointed outside and said, "I've seen it, the exit is sealed." ”

"Alas, in this way, if we don't fight for your life and death, we won't be able to get out?" Jin Yingying sighed.

Zero Five bowed his head: "I'm sorry ......"

"It's not your fault," Park Ji-woo comforted him by stroking Zero Five's back, "You are shadow warriors, and you will endure more sins and pain than us magicians. We don't blame you, after all, it's something that can't be helped. ”

Suzuki said, "The fact that the Shadow Warrior must obey the orders of the Suzuki clan is actually a manifestation of a collective sense of honor. It's just that the current high-level of the Suzuki clan is getting darker and darker, and the tasks given to the shadow warriors are all unreasonable. ”

"I was also sent to kill a child my age the other day. I didn't do it, Sister Zero Four did it for me. She said that this must not happen again, or at least one group of people would have lost their lives to our misses. I used to think that the commander's orders were correct, but now I have no idea what to do and what not to do. All I know is that I'm a monster. ”

Park Ji-woo took Zero Five into his arms and said, "Everyone has a last resort, and so are the shadow warriors, and so are we." There are no people in the wizarding world who have clean hands, and even if they do, they will eventually become debt-laden with sin. ”

"When will this end?"

The hut was silent, save for the crackling of burning wood from the flames.

"Zero Five, is there any other way to get out?" asked Suzuki.

The boy shook his head. After a while, he thought of something: "Ah, I remember there was an emergency exit here in Hokkaido. ”

"Where?" asked Jin Yingying anxiously.

Zero Five shook his head: "I'm sorry, I only know the approximate location." In addition, there are a large number of ice-type high-level magical creatures near that emergency exit, and they only obey the orders of Captain Zero-One, and even if I get close, I will inevitably have a vicious fight. ”

"So, if we find those magical creatures, it means we're not far from the exit. ”

"Ah, that's it. Suddenly realized, Zero Five smiled happily.

"Without further ado, let's go. ”

Jin Yingying got up and opened the door, and the blizzard invaded the wooden house.

Closing the door, Jin Yingying, who was shivering, returned to the fire.

"Come to me. ”

Jin Yingying looked up at Suzuki Zun, then at Park Ji-woo, and finally shook her head.

"Then I'll help my sister keep warm. Zero Five got up and sat down next to Jin Yingying, "Although I haven't studied fire magic systematically, Captain Zero One said that my spirit possession element does have a fire element. Isn't it said that people with some elements embody what kind of characteristics they embody? I think I can give my sister a little warmth. ”

Zero Five didn't know that only a magician with a spirit base element as a fire element had the characteristic of having a higher body temperature than others, and it was only because of this young man's sincerity and his body temperature that Jin Yingying's chill was gradually subsiding that Jin Yingying did not break through.

"Thank you. ”

Jin Yingying gave Zero Five a fragrant kiss, and Zero Five's face turned red.

The snow stopped, and the five set off in groups.

The earth was covered in silver, and the sky was gray. The wind was biting, and the few people who had no thick clothes to protect themselves had to lean towards Suzuki, while the fire mage gladly burned the flames to keep his companions warm.

Due to the lack of specific location, the long road, and the snowstorm blocking many passages, the route recorded by Zero 5 was chaotic, and everyone was lost in the mountains.

"I'm sorry ......"

Park Ji-woo comforted Zero-Five: "It's okay. We weren't prepared enough to anticipate this happening. ”

The blizzard is coming again, getting stronger and stronger.

In the cave, everyone reported to the group to keep warm.

"It's a lot colder here than in a wooden house. Park Ji-woo shuddered.

"The blizzard will definitely pass, wait a little longer. Adam shuddered.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I can't seem to give you a cold ......" Zero Five shivered.

"Hmm......" Jin Yingying was so cold that she didn't want to speak.

Watching his companions suffer from the cold, Suzuki summoned the Queen of Plants.

"Miwako, let's take everyone to the Ancient Forest. ”

"But ......"

"Just a while. ”

The Queen of Plants could not bear the grief of her soul contractor, so she unfolded the Ancient Forest.

"This is a paradise for wood-type magical creatures, rarely set foot by humans. There will be some children who are curious about you, and there will be some children who are malicious to you. Everyone is a good child, but they follow their nature and have different attitudes. Remember, don't hurt Goosen's magical creatures, or Goosen won't let you go, even if I agree. ”

Gusen is secluded, the temperature is suitable, and the environment is pleasant. It is home to many magical creatures of the wood type, including hermits who have lost their sights in the outside world.

"I smelled humanity, full of deep sorrow and bright hope. He's here, he's here. The people I'm waiting for...... However, it is too early for him. I have to wait, I have to wait. Ah, how anxious it is to wait, how irritating it is. Even once, just once. Turn into a butterfly and see him. I was afraid that I would not be able to contain my excitement - I had to witness his growth. ”

"Zun, did you have a sense of disobedience from just now?" asked Adam.

Suzuki got up and looked around and said, "I feel it too." ”

"What's wrong?" asked Jin Yingying.

"Something doesn't seem right. Park Ji-woo got up.

Singing is heard in the woods, and the sounds of heaven convey longing.

"You're here, you're here. O one whom I think day and night, please make a soul covenant with me. ”

Colorful butterflies fly in flocks to block everyone's view.

"Water—"

"No," Suzuki stopped, "you can't attack the magical creatures of the Ancient Forest!"

"But if it goes on like this......"

Falling asleep, Zero Five woke up and saw that everyone was being attacked, and shouted "Don't make a move on my brother and sister", so he rushed to the uninvited guest and knocked him to the ground.

"It's over......" Park Ji-woo was stunned.

Suzuki looked up and shouted, "Miwako-"

"Zero Five, come here. Jin Yingying took the young man into her arms.

"The magical creatures that we attack will probably be seen as an enemy by Goosen. If you can't appease the anger of the Gusen, you will be trapped in the Gusen forever and unable to get out. ”

Looking at Suzuki's nervous expression, Zero Five said blankly, "I, did something bad?"

"Why ......" The ugly magical creature held out its hands to the five.

"Miwako!" Suzuki called out to the plant queen again, but the plant queen was nowhere to be seen.

Park Ji-woo asked, "Isn't she your soul contractor?"

Suzuki explains: "Gusen is different from the outside world. Even so, I've never been in a situation where I've been shouting Miwako and she's not showing up for so long. It seems that Gussen was angry. ”

"What's next?" Adam asked.

Suzuki sighed after being silent for a while and said, "One person must be left here." ”

"What?" said Jin Yingying in disbelief.

Suzuki turned to face the four of them and said, "I have a soul contract with Miwako, and Gusen can't trap me here." In order to appease Gusen's anger, there is only one person left here......"

"What will happen to those who stay?" asked Jin Yingying.

"Most of them will become a member of Goosen, which means that they will never be able to leave in Goosen, and finally ......"

Adam said for Park Ji-woo: "He will die of hunger or dehydration in Gusen and become Gusen's nourishment." ”

"I don't want it," Jin Yingying shook her head again and again, shouting, "No one can die here!"

"But, if this continues, you will all die in Gusen......"

"There must be a way," Jin Yingying grabbed Suzuki's clothes, "You are the soul contractor of the Queen of Plants, you must know the way to get out." ”

Suzuki shook his head.

"I don't care," Jin Yingying pushed Suzuki away, "no one can stay here today." Zero Five, let's go!"

When Jin Yingying turned around, she saw the young man kneeling on the ground in front of the ugly woman and begging for forgiveness: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault." If you really want to leave anyone behind, leave me here. ”

"Zero Five, what are you doing?"

The boy raised his head and said with tears streaming down his face, "Sister, I'm actually tired of the life of a shadow warrior. Why do we have to kill people, why do they have to die? Captain Zero One often says that no one is innocent, and no one must die. I don't understand, I really don't. We know that life is precious, but why do we still kill endlessly?"

"Zero Five......" Jin Yingying shed tears.

"Sister," pleaded the boy, "please let me stay here." Just once, I want to help others, to help the people I like. Sister, I'm sorry......"

Jin Yingying sat on the ground and was reluctant to give up on the young man in front of her.

She was an only child and had never experienced the joys and troubles of having siblings. She was afraid of being alone, so she chose to be with books. In the eyes of others, she is a literary girl, and she has a lonely heart.

Zero Five's words touched the emotions that Jin Yingying had hidden for many years, making her cry and sad.

"Is that really good?" asked Suzuki.

"Well," Zero Five laughed, "just let me be a star and a beacon for everyone to go back." ”

"Oops, crying and crying and fussing what to do. This is the Ancient Forest, a quiet place like a library, so don't disturb everyone's rest. ”

"The Queen of Plants......" said the ugly woman.

"Well, Rainbow Butterfly, aren't you waiting for the chrysalis to break, why are you here?"

As soon as Jin Yingying saw the Queen of Plants, she immediately got up and begged her: "Please, don't leave Zero Five here......"

"Who? Boy, why am I leaving him here?"

"Because, I attacked it......" Zero Five fingers pointed to the ugly woman behind her.

The plant queen turned to the ugly woman and asked, "Butterfly, what exactly are you doing here?"

"I found my soul contractor. ”

"Who?"

The ugly woman knelt on the ground and hugged Zero Five, and said happily: "It's him, my destined nobleman." Finally, I finally see you. ”

"I'm sorry," Park Ji-woo asked the plant queen, "isn't Gusen angry?"

"No," Suzuki said with a smile, "Furunomori has always valued peace, and even if someone offends him, he will send magical creatures to negotiate with people. Although it is true that there are rudeness people who have been trapped in the Ancient Forest and finally died of depression, there have only been a few in the past few hundred years. ”

"Could it be that you are suspicious of Zero Five?"

"Hmm...... That's one thing. On the other hand, when I heard the other party talk about the soul contract, I wanted to find a way to find out what she really meant. To sum it up, it's ...... I'm so sorry!"

Park Ji-woo patted Suzuki Jun: "Don't bend down and bow your head as soon as you make a mistake like Kojiro." ”

"Okay, okay, how long do you want to hug you, and you don't have to ask if people want you. The Queen of Plants leaned over Suzuki.

"You have someone to want, why do I have no one to want it?"

The Queen of Plants sneered: "Zun and the little ghost head over there are not at the same level at all. Our family's vision is very unique, isn't it?"

Suzuki smiled bitterly: "Well, it seems that Miwako you found-"

"Smack", the plant queen covered Suzuki's mouth.

"So, Zero Five doesn't have to stay here?" Jin Yingying woke up like a big dream.

"Great, sister. Zero Five wanted to pounce into Jin Yingying's arms, but was pulled back by Caidie.

"How, boy, do you want to make a soul pact with this ugly fellow?"

Zero five hesitates.

"Why?" said Caidie sadly, "You are my destined soul contractor, so I won't let you leave me." ”

"No," Zero Five said comforting Butterfly, "I don't hate you, even if you're so ugly." It's just, what is a soul contract?"

In the clearing of the forest, the sun shines on one person and one magical creature.

"I, the star Rokugi attribute magic creature Rainbow Butterfly, am willing to conclude a soul contract with Shota Suzuki, and I will never abandon it for the rest of my life. ”

Zero Five was silent.

"What's wrong?" Butterfly asked him.

"Why, do you know my name?"

The plant queen who hugged Suzuki said, "Even if you forget your name, nature remembers." After all, you are born from your mother's womb, but you are also based on the earth, and nature is your mother. ”

Butterfly smiled and said, "We are children of nature, you are like that, and so am I." Fate brought us together and brought us together. From now on, you are all I have, and I will be your sword and shield. ”

"Hmm. Shota Suzuki smiled brightly.

When the soul contract is concluded, the butterfly breaks out of the chrysalis. In that soft light, she waved her brilliant wings and hugged Shota Suzuki into the air. The beautiful face pressed against the immature face, and the scars on Shota Suzuki's face disappeared.

"When a soul contract is made, it is also a time when the soul is reshaped, whether it is for a mage or a magical being. ”

Suzuki smiled at his soul contractor.

After the two of them landed, everyone went to congratulate them.

"Zero Five- No, Shota Suzuki, that's great. ”

After the handsome boy bent down to thank Jin Yingying, he gave her another hug.

"Shota, your soul contractor is watching. Jin Yingying said embarrassedly.

"It's okay," Rainbow smiled, "I'm connected to Shota's soul, and that's enough." In the future, I will watch him grow up, watch him marry and have children, and then accompany him and his partner to old age. Treat him—"

"Caidie, it's been too long, let's take care of the present first. The Queen of Plants said angrily.

"I have a question," Adam raised his hand, "Lady Rainbow, why do you think Shota Suzuki is your soul contractor?"

"Because of fate. ”

Adam pondered and asked, "How did fate lead you to him?"

"It's the divination done by the queen of plants. Although she is a headstrong person, her divination skills are really top-notch. ”

"Did I do a divination for you?"

Butterfly smiled and said, "yes." About a hundred years ago, you said that my destined soul contractor would appear in this ancient forest in the form of a teenager, and then, he did appear. ”

"Ah, it seems that there is such a thing. Actually, I'm joking—"

Suzuki covered the mouth of the Queen of Plants and said with a smile: "It's gratifying." It's getting late, and we'll have to leave the Furunomori in search of an emergency exit to Hokkaido Paradise. ”

On the snow, wild beasts grinned or opened their bloody mouths.

"Star five's magical creatures, and there are a lot of them. This is probably the emergency exit to the park. ”

Shota Suzuki agreed, "I don't remember if this was the place last time I visited, but I remember that they were the ones who guarded the emergency exit last time. ”

"At this time, it would be nice if Yu Jingjing was here, with her strength, it would be a matter of minutes to defeat these magical creatures. ”

Park Ji-woo smiled at Jin Yingying: "I'm in a good mood." ”

Shota Suzuki found happiness, just as he regained his confidence, and Kim Yingying decided to take the next step of his own.

"yes. Kim Yingying smiled at Park Ji-woo.

"At this time, let Suzuki come. ”

Suzuki turned to Adam in surprise: "Me?"

"Don't forget how you beat my classmates to the ground in the survival race. ”

Suzuki turned back in embarrassment, looking at the seemingly ferocious magical creature and helplessly summoned the plant queen.

"Wait," Rainbow Butterfly revealed, "It's better to let me show off than to use the Queen of Plants." ”

"Just you?" the Queen of Plants leaned on Suzuki's shoulder, "You are a child of the Soul Contractor, can you get along with him?"

Caidie leaned over and rubbed Shota Suzuki's cheek and fought back: "My family's Shota is still young and has a bright future. But your Suzuki Zun, does he have the strength to arouse your true strength?"

Suzuki stopped the two women from turning in two: "That, time is limited, we'd better fight quickly." ”

"That's right, time is running out. ”

Everyone looked ahead, and he was the only one in the place where it should have been a star-level five-magic creature.

"Where is sacred?" Rainbow Butterfly stood in front of Shota Suzuki.

"This paradise is connected to another paradise, and you leave this exit only from one cage to another. ”

"Wait, did I see you somewhere?" said Suzuki stepped forward.

"It's better not to see each other than to see each other. Time-space misalignment. ”

Only footprints were left in the snow.
