Chapter Twenty-Five: A Midsummer Night's Dream
Sword.
Endless sword.
Big or small, lying or reclining, like mountains, like hills, stretching for thousands of miles, not always seen.
The sea of clouds, strangely churning, in the afterglow of the setting sun, dotted with this strange floating island in the air.
The dreamy, glass-like light reflects everything on the island, and it is a little bizarre.
Like life and death, like infatuation.
The distance between life and death, perhaps, is only the distance of longing.
And how long is the distance of longing?
Long enough, can you chase the sunset at dusk, all the way to the other side of the clouds?
On the other side of the cloud is the place of thought.
Missing is the beginning of everything and the end of everything.
The white wings, just like that, rushed into this long-sealed long-sealed thought, rushed into the middle of the long-forgotten thought.
There, on the surface of a sparkling lake, a small Zhu protrudes slightly.
Above Xiao Nagisa is a sword that towers into the sky.
There is no hilt, no scabbard, only endless green edges, ethereal, straight through the sky.
"Finally, I'm back...... Sky Sword Island ......"
Barely standing on the ground, the girl said stupidly, her pale fingertips gently touching the giant sword made of unknown materials.
The ancient sword, engraved with the same ancient words, stretches all the way to the invisible place.
"This is where it all began......
The place where everything begins is also the place where everything ends, and perhaps everyone has such an expectation in their hearts - behind all the glory and shame, behind all the laughter and sorrow, as the starting point, too
Terminal.
"Yes, where it all began, and where I began to fall......"
Gently helping Yin to sit down, Kazama Shoha sighed as he sat down with his back against the not so smooth sword body, and gently took the girl's weak body into his arms.
"Say it as if I seduced you......"
The girl's pale cheeks flushed slightly, and then, stubbornly, pursed some pale lips.
"It's obviously the stupid coconut who peeked at me in the shower first......"
"Stealing...... Peek or something! I just stumbled into it...... Again, again...... Who would have thought that someone would bathe in such a dark and rumbling lake in the middle of the night......"
Gently snorting, Kazama pouted helplessly.
"After all, although I carried a pot of 'peeking at a beautiful girl taking a bath', I didn't see anything......"
"Didn't see anything, and then you fell in love with that girl?"
The sunset, slowly descending, sprinkled the last slanting light into the girl's eyes, reflecting a crystal dazzling.
"What do you like ......?"
You don't need a reason to like anything, right......
"Voice alone can be used as a reason to like it...... Although it was a scream at the time......"
When you really like someone, you can go back and find the reason, in fact, you can't find it...... After all, no matter where it is, no matter what part, it has become the object of love, and it is already difficult to give up
β¦β¦
The limp body struggled to the side, and then, with his chin raised, poked his head into the young man's ear.
"Yes, like this?"
The smell that was so soft that it was about to melt, with all the burning smell of passion, slowly eroded the softest part of the earlobe.
The fragile nerve endings, lost in an instant, rushed straight to the terminal with a surging current, and plunged into paralysis along with the brain.
With a chuckle, Kazama snapped back to his senses.
"What a bad-hearted fellow! I wouldn't have done this before......"
With a complaining expression, he suddenly turned into a pampering, and hugged the girl tightly even more fiercely.
The laughter of the silver bells suddenly became more rampant, and then, without warning, stopped.
"Because, there's no time soon...... Soon, I can't be coquettish like this anymore...... You can no longer hide in the arms of your beloved like this, you can't feel his heartbeat, you can't feel his temperature, you can't feel it
His love...... Even his existence itself can't be perceived......"
The girl, curled up gently, curled up in that warm place.
The body couldn't help but tremble slightly, like a kitten in winter.
"I won't let you leave my ...... No......"
Softly, talking to herself, Kazama slowly buried her head in the girl's long, soft black hair.
The moist eyes shimmered with a strange luster in the last rays of the sunset that had finally set.
The sky is getting darker.
Night began to fall, like a fate that had finally arrived.
There was light, and it lit up from the girl's bosom.
"It's ...... The Red Dragon King's ......"
"Well, the last dragon king's dragon ball, bring it back as a sacrifice for the clansmen......"
The girl, raising her head slightly, took out the crystal clear red bead from her chest.
"And that's the end of it...... Dragons, and our Sword Spirit Clan......"
Rubbing gently, the girl looked at the slightly hot beads in her hand stupidly.
There was a strange point of light, like a star, shining in the middle of the bead, like a vicious eye, staring coldly at the end of the cursed.
"The last descendant of the Sword Spirit Clan, after completing all her revenge, once again returned to the land where she was born, and her life is coming to an end at this moment......
He spoke slowly, groaning, but with a faint chuckle.
"Isn't it very tragic?"
However, in the glimmer of light, why is there a crystal dew stained with dewdrops, flashing a mournful fluorescence?
"Tragedy or something, I don't want to ......"
The head of hatred, after all, couldn't resist the helpless will, and slowly lowered it.
"So, to put it another way...... The lovely, but ill-fated girl, after going through a lot of difficulties, finally came to an end of her life, with the lover who had peeped at her bathing, and returned to them
The first time I met the agreed place. β
"This ...... Isn't that still a tragedy! Still...... And what's more...... Why do you want to put voyeurism or something in such a serious place......"
It was obviously a smile, but the voice, unexpectedly, couldn't help choking.
"Like, too...... It's a tragedy that you care about each other because someone snooped on something as important as a treasure, but in the end, your entire body and mind were stolen......"
made a serious and thoughtful look, and a sly gaze suddenly appeared in his eyes.
stared straight at Kazama's cheeks, which had turned red from sadness or embarrassment.
"But...... You see...... It's not all tragedy, is it...... After all, at the end, at the end, there is her beloved, and at the same time, the person who loves her, by her side......"
A satisfied smile appeared on Yin's face.
It's like a kid who gets candy and toys at the same time.
However, this smile was so dazzling that it pierced Kazama's eyes, and it hurt a little.
In an instant, it spreads all over the body, turning into a breathing pain, rippling in the air one after another.
"And...... That's how fate goes...... When you have already harvested such a beautiful thing as love, you want to stay with your beloved for a long time and grow old together...... Wouldn't it be too extravagant......"
"Not extravagant! Not extravagant at all! Isn't that the happiness that everyone deserves?! β
The hoarse voice tried his best to raise the volume, but when he spoke, Kazama's words had already become hoarse and dry.
Raise your head, hoping to see a glimmer of light.
However, it seemed that even the whole sky was denying all this, and it fell into a gloom.
Just like that night, their first encounter.
"Oh no...... Carrying the hand of the son and growing old with the son should be the happiness that many people can't get in their lifetime......"
Sighing lowly, Moan gently reached out and pressed her hand to the boy's raised face.
There was a burning liquid that wet the fingertips.
"And I, as a murderer who has slaughtered so many living beings, can do this...... Lying quietly in the arms of your beloved, quietly, at your best age, you will be the most beautiful yourself, freeze in, the memory of the other party
Middle...... For a girl, what is more intoxicating than the loving eyes of a lover at this moment? β
The low voice, like a sharp blade, uses every syllable to cut the young man's heart.
"Na~ let's get married."
Kazama lowered his head and stared straight at the moan, staring at the smile, which suddenly bloomed.
"Hmm~"
There was a scorching liquid, surging and flowing unstoppable.
"Wait for me ......"
The white wings, swept by, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Leave the emaciated girl and stay quietly in the dark.
It was as if the whole world had fallen into darkness.
The demon named "Darkness", step by step, approached the lonely figure.
With the breath of death.
Silently, but blatantly.
In such a dead silence and darkness, who will protect this helpless girl?
In her throat, a cold touch hit her, but the girl still looked motionlessly in the direction in which the boy had left.
"I've been waiting for a long time~"
The white wings, in a flash, darkness, quickly retreated.
"What's wrong?"
Kazama looked at the girl in front of him who was staring at him a little distractedly.
Then, the soft touch came up all at once.
I was hugged tightly.
With a blazing heat like never before.
Chest, blocked by something.
It's obviously hard to breathe, but I can't help but boil......
For a long time, carefully pushed away.
"Na~ the bride's bouquet."
Holding the pair of soft and boneless leaves, Kazama gently stuffed the white flowers in his hand into Yin's hand.
"Wow~It's so beautiful~"
"No matter how beautiful the flower is, it is not as beautiful as one-ten-thousandth of your elegance......"
"Alasββ? Where did you learn the rhetoric? β
The eyebrows were slightly frowned, and the eyes like a spring were staring at each other.
However, there was no unexpected panic to hide.
Rather, the response is a bolder look at the eye.
In this way, through the eyes, touch the soul.
"It's love that secretly taught me."
Unexpectedly, the one who climbed up the crimson turned out to be the girl who took the lead in the offensive.
"Liars ......"
The soft delicate body was gently attached to it.
"It's a bit of a shame that there aren't stars though...... But ......"
"However, if it was Yin'er's wish, even if it was a star, I would have plucked it."
Gently straightening the weak delicate body, when he got up, the corners of Kazama's mouth hooked up a mysterious smile.
"Close your eyes and count to three."
Obediently lowered his eyes.
"One!"
There was a wind, sweeping across the lake.
"Two!"
With it, the fragrance of summer.
"Three!"
Gently flicking, that long eyelashes.
The eyelashes trembled slightly, rippling into a pool of autumn water.
Autumn water, reflecting the surface of the lake; The surface of the lake, reflecting the autumn water.
And the autumn water and the surface of the lake, together reflected, are countless free, a little glimmer.
The breath is average, drifting slowly.
In the summer air, slowly weaving, weaving a small illusion.
It's like that midsummer dream, adorned with starlight.
The girl's eyes suddenly ached, a little fluorescent, rippling violently.
The blooming smile, like scattered roses, is poignant and gorgeous under the embellishment of dewdrops.
"Fireflies?"
"Well, because the wedding of the Sword Spirit Clan has to be held under the starlight to get blessings......"
Quietly sat down beside Yin, Kazama turned his head and kissed the stained dew one by one with pity.
"So, I can only trouble these little guys......"
It was obviously such a hot tear, but the cheeks were unexpectedly cold.
Even, even those autumn-like eyes began to freeze.
"Yin'er......?"
He shouted with a slight hesitation, and then, as if he suddenly realized something, Kazama turned his head sharply.
On the surface of the lake, the dreamlike fluorescent light is still flickering, flickering, and dancing gently.
Create a star-like stage.
In the middle of the stage, a slender dragon shadow slowly descended.
Arbitrarily moving, the calm lake surface stirred up a little ripple.
"Sure enough, the bad guys should appear at this most touching moment......
