bgm: Happy Endings (Kana Hanazawa)

Lemon woke up.

It's not a little boy of five or six years old, who looks similar to himself.

Lemon was excited, and her always calm eyes showed a look of surprise. But some don't know what to say.

Little Ake looked at the little girl in front of him curiously, found the white dress on her body, and looked at her white shirt, inexplicably having a natural sense of intimacy.

The two looked at each other for a while, and they couldn't help but smile, feeling very happy and warm.

Lemon stretched out his arms and stretched out his hands to hug his brother's young body, and Ake did not hesitate, naturally, hugged his sister with his backhand.

After a long time, the two didn't say a word, just silently felt each other's heartbeat, and there was an indescribable sense of reassurance.

Ah, is that what happiness feels like?

Although Ake was only born recently, he now knows everything. Know why you were born, know what your mission is. At this time, he had not yet sealed his memories.

"Nah... Lemon spoke first, holding his hands and not letting go, so he kept this posture and spoke.

"Hmm. Ake replied in a childish and crisp childlike voice.

"What am I?"

Not "who" but "what".

Lemon asked her brother a question, and she always wanted to know the answer to it, but there was no one around, let alone answer her doubts.

From the moment I regained consciousness, I was surrounded by such darkness, and there was a blank space about my past. Although she knows some common sense, and at the same time has certain language habits, but it's all like this, framework things, no substance, and she doesn't know what those words refer to.

What is "Apple" and what is "Happiness"?

What is "I"?

Of course, Lemon knew that she was a "god", but to be honest, the little girl didn't understand these things either, and she wanted to hear other answers from other people's mouths.

"You're my sister. Little Acker replied.

"Hmm. ”

"That... What are you?"

"I'm your brother. ”

"Hmm~" You hugged her hands harder, squeezing out a sweet and greasy immature coquettish voice from your throat.

Although it sounds very naïve, it's not even called a conversation. But this is the first time in the lives of the two siblings that they want to talk, even if there is still a bottomless darkness around them, even if this place is still a cage. Both of their hearts were filled with a beautiful feeling of stability and harmony.

Although Ark was nominally an "elder brother" at this time, and looked like he was five or six years old, after all, he had just been born, and there were many basic things that he didn't quite understand. So you have to ask Lemon from time to time, the little girl is more like his sister.

The two laughed in plain language, and even repeated the same conversation sometimes silly, but laughed at each other.

Lemon has been living in a dark and cold world since she first regained consciousness countless years ago, and she has long been numb to pain and death, and she also knows that she can't die, but the road ahead has almost been cut off, and the little girl lives in this environment, and her heart has not been distorted, because that kind of thing has not existed in the first place, and her three views have not been formed under this oppression, and she has always maintained a silly simplicity. It can be said that this is simply an unimaginable miracle.

After all, if a young child is raised as a wolf, when he grows up, his habits will be similar to that of a wolf in all aspects, and there is no possibility of reverting to a human being to survive in society. This kind of person can only be said to be a human being physically, and from the perspective of consciousness and spirit, he can no longer be regarded as a human being at all.

But no matter how perverted and cruel, sick and inhumane the situation facing Lemon is today, she has not produced any distortion or change. To say that she sometimes seems to be stunned is just out of instinctive self-preservation.

Ake and Lemon were able to talk happily even in this situation, and even for a long time there was no disagreement, maintaining this incredible freshness.

A person's thinking has a single nature that cannot be broken at any time, but some people are really gifted and can write with both hands at the same time, or use the technique of fighting each other with both hands, and their ruling thinking is still single and unique, which even a schizophrenic patient cannot cross. If it's two people, you can conjure up countless possibilities.

But that's not the point. Because wanting an older brother is a lemon, the only wish that has always been, and a younger sister is the only value and meaning of Ak's existence as an older brother, so it is enough.

"Don't touch that door. For the first time, Lemon grimaced a little sternly, stopping Aker's death.

Ark didn't ask for a reason at all, and withdrew his hand directly without hesitation, he could obey his sister's demands almost unconditionally, and his execution was high enough to put any professional army that killed decisively to shame.

"Because it hurts, I've said it many times. ”

"But... Doesn't my sister want to go out?" asked Ark tentatively, although Ark really didn't care, for him, as long as there was a place for his sister, it would be really good. But if it's really my sister's wish.。。 has the value of giving everything for yourself.

"Well, but that was before, and now that I have my brother, I don't care anymore. Lemon crossed his hands on his waist and said of course, "And I've tried many times before, not only have they all failed, but he will really hurt." ”

"I'm not afraid of pain. Ark tilted his head.

"No way!" Lemon hugged him and pulled him away from the terrifying door.

"My brother is the only one, and he was and will be, what if you eat and never come back? ”

Lemon's eyes were a little red as she spoke, and she buried her head in her brother's chest and whimpered.

Lemon really hadn't cried for a long time, but now that the little girl felt the warmth of her brother's body, she felt countless times happier even when she cried than when she didn't cry before.

"Well, I'm not going. Ake didn't coax his sister to stop crying. When he feels sad and sad, he should cry.

"Uh-huh. Lemon still wouldn't let go, and continued to wipe tears from his chest. But after a while she was crying and laughing.

The two sisters have always been glued together, although there is also a game called "hide and seek" in their own, and this realm, although dark and terrifying, is surprisingly perfect for hide and seek.

About this game called "hide and seek", Lemon occasionally mentioned it when he was gossiping with his brother.

"What is 'hide and seek'?" Ark asked her curiously.

"Hmm... Probably one person hid and the other went looking for him. ”

"Sounds like a lot of fun... Ake pondered for a while, then shook his head, "But I don't like it." ”

"Well, me too, I'm going to be with my brother forever, never separated. ”

And then they really stuck together all the time. People have been in the mountains for a long time, and they don't know the years. Day after day, year after year, the two of them have been here for an unknown number of years, but their faces have not changed at all. As for the bonds between each other, although there is no accumulation of strength, the favorability has been explosive from the beginning, and even before Ake was born, the strategy had already been completed.

In the meantime, the two also use the power of manipulating the shadow gray mist to play with each other, tinkering with all kinds of interesting gadgets. For example, watching a group of ants fight, a big pumpkin and a little gray wolf fighting wits and courage, the murder of a fly nurse, a little girl with a red hat with a match to make a fortune, hanging a man around the world for three days, and a bigmouth flower with potato allergies, a king who likes to gnaw on people's brains for no reason, survival of the fittest and survival of large mosquitoes and small mosquitoes。。。。。

The two have no formed concept of good and evil, but everything is based on each other's thoughts, and the scenes they make sometimes seem absurd and uninhibited, and the unreasonableness is really scary and chills down the spine.

In this process, it also reflects a little surprise between the two in the future, although they are all given the highest priority to each other, but the second priority of lemons is themselves, and in addition, they are indifferent to any other existence, so to speak, they are really like some orthodox gods in this regard, heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things can be dogs, and so is God. Ake, on the other hand, has a more egalitarian attitude towards other beings. Of course, this can't be said to be the point of disagreement, because nothing can damage the relationship between the brother and sister, and Ark can do anything for Lemon, even including himself, which is something that he really takes for granted.

Not because Lemon is a god, but because she is her own sister. And as an older brother, he needs to obey unconditionally.

With this in mind, Ake is often asked by Lemon to help her do strange things, and although Khaki feels incomprehensible and shy about it, he does it one by one.

“。。 What is this doing?"

Lemon directly blocked her brother's question with her mouth, and the white crystal line connected to the lips of the two. Ake stared at her blankly, blinking, but unfortunately couldn't come back to his senses.

"Hee-hee, so you're mine. Lemon crossed her hands on her waist and smiled smugly.

"But I've always been my sister's belongings. "Ake is still stupid, and seems to have inherited some of his sister's personality.

"It's a ritual, stupid brother. Lemon's cute puffed up face, "If you say that, I won't do it in the future." ”

"I said it wrong!" When Ake heard this, he decisively admitted his mistake, although he still didn't know what to do.

"Hee-hee-hee~" Lemon showed a smile like a little devil who had succeeded in his tricks, just like she had grown up.

Lemon stood, and Ark was a little taller than her, so she was ordered to sit down on her knees, and her sister was holding her brother's chin, thinking about what to do next.

"Boom ——"

A loud grinding sound sounded in the empty darkness, and the two looked at each other, each seeing doubts in each other's eyes, looking for prestige.

。。 That direction is. Door?

Sounds like that. It seems to be...

The door opened.
