Carlos area, Crosso estate, inside the study.

"That's it, you guys go down and do things first."

Ekalo, who was sitting behind her desk, rubbed her temples and tucked herself into the couch beneath her.

"When you're done, go and rest, it's been hard these days." After returning from Alola, the cadres of the [Eight Masterpieces] didn't have any time to rest, and a lot of things were put in front of Ekaro.

The attack on Crosso Manor, the removal of Sara by unknown men, and the trivia of the organization's operations......

"Yes!" Han Yan and Ling Yun, who were standing opposite Ekaro, answered and walked out of the study directly, although they were now very tired like Ekaro, but if they didn't deal with some trivial matters of the [Eight Masterpieces], then no one would deal with it.

As the two of them walked out, Ekalo turned the chair beneath her and turned her gaze to the floor-to-ceiling window to the side, where a dark-haired young man sat there, bathed in sunlight.

"......" was silent, not because Ekalo was tired and didn't want to speak, but because she didn't know how to open the conversation with Krosso, and after such a long absence, there seemed to be a not-so-obvious ditch between them.

It's not obvious, but it's just there, so that Ekalo doesn't know how to talk to this brother who has grown up with him since he was a child.

"Sister Ekaro, don't look at me like that, it's a little weird and uncomfortable."

Just as Ekalo was about to speak after organizing her words, the words had already reached her throat and were about to speak, but the young man sitting in the sunlight was the first to speak.

I saw him pick up a bone china teapot from the coffee table on the side, and poured out a stream of crimson water from it, with dense white steam, into the porcelain cup, "Fez-blue Ceylon black tea, do you want to add milk?" ”

At this time, Krosso raised his gaze and met Ekaro's gaze, without the slightest fluctuation, as if it were a bottomless lake.

[This kid, it seems that his strength has surpassed me? 】

This deep feeling made Ekaro's heart tighten, but she was so tired that she didn't even have an expression on her tired face, "No need to add milk, I need to refresh!" ”

The study in the Crosso estate is actually a wonderful place, the air is filled with a faint woody scent, the oily color of old wood is everywhere, the two-story ceiling-high bookshelves are stacked with books, and the wooden staircase that zigzags to the second floor divides the whole space into small pieces, like a giant birdcage.

Originally, sitting in the best position in this study, drinking the best Ceylon black tea provided by Fesslan, the sun shining on him through the frosted glass, should have been a very enjoyable thing......

But now, Krosso and Ekalo didn't have a feeling of wanting to enjoy it, and the powerful people who had returned from thousands of years ago were like a huge mountain pressing on their hearts, making them dare not relax at all.

"What's next?" Ekalo moved the chair under him to the other side of the coffee table, picked up the porcelain cup that Croso had poured for him, and took a sip.

After perceiving that Krosso's strength was looming above him, Ekalo was subconsciously ready to hand over some decisions to Krosso, after all, he was the one with the strongest snake blood among all the cadres.

"I'm going to go to the sacred mountain of inheritance." Krosso picked up the porcelain cup, as if he hesitated for a moment before putting it down, "The matter of the manor, please ask Sister Ekalo to worry more." ”

"Have you thought about it?" Hearing that Krosso wanted to go to the Sacred Mountain, Ekaro's narrowed eyes widened suddenly, as if Krosso's words had shocked her greatly.

"If you think about it, you have to go, this is the inevitable fate of [Flame of Fate], isn't it?" Krosso stood up from his chair, his eyes were not afraid of the glare of the sun, he slowly raised his hand in front of him, as if he wanted to grasp the sun in his hand, "Now is the time for me to go." ”

"Aren't you going to meet Shina? After all, I haven't seen you in a long time. Seeing that Crosso had decided, Aikalu naturally would not dissuade him anymore, but only mentioned a name that was sleeping in the depths of Krosso's heart.

Hearing Shina's name, Krosso's figure standing in the sunlight suddenly shook, "No, when everything is over, I'll go see her again-"

"Now is not the best time." After saying this, Krosso also pushed open the door and walked out.

"This kid...... It seems that there is something hidden in his heart......" Looking at the back of Croso leaving, Ekalo suddenly had the illusion that he was fleeing in a hurry, as if the name Sina was like a flood beast to Krosso now.

……

After heading out, Crosso walked to the garage where he had parked.

There was a faint musty smell in the air of the garage, which had not been used for a long time, and the two ranked cars were neatly parked on both sides, like guards to greet the king.

He picked up a blue Lamborghini, opened the car door, and started it with his own voiceprint, he picked up a cigarette in the car, lit it and inhaled it hard, and spit out a cloud of smoke.

Ekaro guessed correctly, Krosso did have something on his mind, and it was indeed related to Sina, during this time, as a member of the [Other Shore], Shion spared no effort to take care of him, and even gave him his own blood without hesitation in order to heal his injuries, even if it was the [Other Shore] blood contained in Zion's body.

Under such a premise, Croso inevitably had some special feelings for Aster, but he also felt that the reason why Aster took care of him so much was not for him as a person, but for the name of the [Flame of Destiny] he inherited, but the person who was the person of the [Flame of Destiny] thousands of years ago, the person who fell in love with him until the moment when the two sides organized a decisive battle.

But these did not weaken the emotions in Krosso's heart, but made him even more confused, until the hand in front of Shion and herself, the sword wielder called Kagura, was standing in front of Shion and herself, and the woman's only request was to let Shiraishi Antelope guarantee her safety.

So, after Ekalo mentioned Shina's name, Krosso looked like that, his heart was very confused, he didn't know how to see the girl who was hiding in his heart again.

For so long, it seems that everything has changed, such a change is so drastic that I don't have time to react at all, and I am simply caught off guard.

"Whew~"

After taking the last puff of the cigarette, Krosso spit out everything as if he had put everything in the last puff of the cigarette, and then stepped on the accelerator violently, and the Lamborghini was like a blue arc of light towards the holy mountain of the [Eight Masterpieces].
