"That's it, that's it. "Agni took the teacup and tasted the bitterness.

"Is it bitter?" Layla asked, tilting her head slightly.

"I've been drinking it for more than ten years, and I've long been used to it." Agni raised an eyebrow at her.

"That's my word!" Layla puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction and took a sip of her tea.

"Is it you or me?" Agni laughed, "After all, you borrowed my heart, didn't you?" ”

"Humph! What a cunning! Layla puffed up, and laughed herself.

"Still, I want to say thank you!"

"I'm just going to say, thank you!" Agni put down the teacup.

"Can I rely on you?" Layla asked, looking at her eyes wide and expectant.

Agni was stunned for a moment, then smiled and patted his shoulder. Layla happily moved her chair and placed it next to Agni, then squinted and leaned on his shoulder, lazily leaning against Agni's body, the curve of her body making Agni feel clear.

The afternoon sun was a little lazy, and the fire suddenly had a sense of happiness.

"Where do you want to start?" Layla asked in a muffled voice.

"Whatever you want."

"Actually...... I never left Cologneburg. Layla said.

"Hmmm......"

"I'm wandering in this world, but I'm no longer part of this world. I am the Holy Spirit, and I should have become another life form in the divine, and not in the lower worlds, and I should have forgotten all of this. ”

"But I've always cared about it and I don't understand why. I can see your presence, I still have memories of the past, but I don't know what it means. ”

"For many days, I didn't understand the meaning of what I was doing, and all of a sudden, the connection from the divine was suddenly severed. At first I was a little panicked, but then I was surprised by the panic, then I was surprised, and then I was ......."

Agni flicked Layla's forehead a little speechlessly, "Okay, two surprises are enough!" ”

Layla stuck out her tongue, "Anyway, as the Holy Spirit, I shouldn't have felt emotional fluctuations, but I suddenly had subtle feelings. I began to think about who I really was, why I had become this state, why I had lingered in this land, and I had been reluctant to return to the sacred for so long. ”

"I came back here and began to replay all my memories over and over again, I watched it many, many times, but the subtle feelings did not fluctuate in any way, I still don't understand the meaning of these memories, and I don't know why I held on to it I don't know how many times I watched it until I saw your appearance."

"......I see," Agni sighed, understanding something.

"I remember that all my past things were entrusted to Miss Sanny, so I put my thoughts on the ring, and at the same time guide her to meet you." Layla turned her head, her bright eyes staring straight at the flames, "There's a voice telling me that you're going to come here, to where I started!" ”

"So, I'm really here." Agni said.

"You're still in the right place when I need it most...... "Layla muttered to herself, wrapping her arms around Blazing's waist.

"Layla......"

"I don't understand the meaning of these memories myself, but I think you must understand, finally after leaving the sacred, I can feel that little emotion, I must understand everything I had in the past!" Layla continued, "So, we lived through my decade together again, and I understood what those memories meant, and I understood who I was. ”

"So thank you! Raging fire! ”

"......" Agni was silent and patted Layla's weak back.

The two enjoyed a warm moment for a long time.

"Agni, I ask you!" Layla said suddenly.

"Well, you ask."

"Which is the real me, the past me or the present me?"

Agni felt a warm dampness in his chest, and gently lifted Layla's face.

Tears rolled down Layla's cheeks.

"Which one is Layla? The Real Layla...... Already dead, right? So...... What about me? I...... It's just the name Layla...... Is it just a shell? I...... What's the difference with those ghouls! Layla choked up, she had feelings again, but they were so heavy that every time she thought about it, a sense of self-denial and despair enveloped her body and mind.

Weeping, tears wetting the garment of the fire.

"Layla......" Agni didn't know what to say for a moment, in a sense, Layla was indeed dead. But if she is really dead, who is the girl in front of you who is crying for Layla's affection?

Why do people exist?

Body?

Memory?

Or is it the feeling of being a human being?

"I ...... Is it Layla, or someone else? Crying Layla, said this, and smiled again, looking to the fire for answers.

Like a pear blossom with rain, it grabbed the heart of the fire.

"You...... Of course it's Layla......" Agni wiped Layla's tearful face, then hugged her and made her feel her warmth.

"We've been through your life together for ten years, and we've known each other before. You still remember me, remember everyone, tirelessly linger in order to find your feelings, all of this is proof of who you are! Agni said loudly.

"Of course you're Layla! Who but Layla herself would miss them? For outsiders, everything related to us is worthless, only for ourselves, it is a treasure that cannot be exchanged! ”

Agni pulled up Layla's face, looked her in the eyes, and said seriously, "So...... Of course you are Layla, the one and only Layla, the one and only Layla, whom no one else can replace! ”

"I ...... Isn't it really someone else? Layla asked, choked up.

"Of course not, you're Layla, I'm sure!"

"I ...... Ever since I broke off my connection with the Divine, I've been scared, afraid that I'm just taking possession of Layla, a monster who drives the shell, and that I don't deserve any feelings at all. Because if this is really my own memory, then why can't I have any emotional fluctuations no matter how I look at it? ”

"But right now, you're crying for Layla, aren't you? What you have is Layla's feelings, you are the Layla I remember in my heart, there is no doubt about it! Agni said.

Listening to his words, Layla gradually stopped crying.

The two looked at each other, and I don't know how long it took, but Layla suddenly smiled, gently pushed the flames, and said, "Let me stay by myself for a while...... You have your own mission, go and complete it, save the cathedral and all the people of Cologneburg! ”

"Layla!" Agni hurriedly stretched out his hand, but could only pass through Layla's hand, as if it were just a phantus, and the whole simple little room flew away like fallen leaves, but he himself kept flying upside down, getting farther and farther away from this strange place.

Farther and farther away.

Farther and farther away.

Suddenly, the fire seemed to regain consciousness.

He was standing in front of the door of the small room, one hand pressed against the door, and he kept pushing the door.

The deadbolt didn't open, and there wasn't that crack in the door.

Agni opened his mouth, then pushed it away

Motionless.

It's like a dream.

Did he hear the deadbolt open? Did you see that figure? Did you push the door open? Result...... Did you go through that long and short decade with Layla?

Is all this real or an illusion from the heart of an angel?

The fire pushed the door again, and it didn't loosen in the slightest, but what had just happened was clear.

He looked at the ring in his hand, and the guidance of the mysterious skill angel was gone.

It took a long time for the fire to turn away.

I don't know if it's a hallucination, but there seems to be a faint sigh on the other side of the door.

Like a dream, is it a dream butterfly? Or is it a butterfly dream?

Agni has the answer in his heart.
