24 Good start

The words of déjà vu made Milo's heart tremble violently - the same night, the same girl, said the same thing.

"I want to ...... Go and see the sea. ”

Melo didn't hold on, her knees bent weakly, and she almost collapsed on the ground, but she was soon standing up straight again, and she was very embarrassed.

"What's wrong? You okay? Not feeling well? Erin hurriedly stepped forward to help Milo, she was afraid that something would happen to him, and she asked.

"Oh, it's okay already." Milo hurriedly waved his hand, "Suddenly...... Something came to mind......"

"Well, I do that sometimes," said Erin, understandingly, "sometimes when I think of something uncomfortable, my body is unconsciously tense or momentarily weak...... Then I'll help you in and rest. Erin reached out and put her arm around Milo's to help him, but he quickly pulled him back.

"Ah......h

"I'm sorry......" Milo noticed her faux pas and hurriedly apologized, "It's my problem." ”

"Hmm...... It's all right," Erin said, slowly lowering her hand, "I'm afraid of you......" she didn't continue.

The atmosphere was very awkward, and Milo understood that his behavior was too inappropriate, so he took the initiative to pick up the topic just now: "I'll take you to the beach...... Look at the sea. ”

Erin nodded slightly, and the smile returned to her face as the uneasiness faded away.

Sick Island is not very big, and you can see the sea from the hotel in either direction. The two avoided the still-bustling port and opted for a tranquil and beautiful beach. Unlike the cold wind in the southern part of the town, the beach here blows a warm breeze mixed with fresh flowers, and the rhythmic sound of waltz waves in the dead of night makes people feel sleepy and comfortable. In the deep blue night, the stars twinkled, and the sea was illuminated by the white starlight like a broken mirror.

Erin sat hunched on the beach, facing the sea breeze, her long hair slightly blown, and the starlight sprinkled on her white and flawless face, illuminating her clear and transparent eyes. No matter how you look at it, the picture is beautiful.

Milo also sat down beside Irene, keeping a delicate distance that would neither appear distant nor allow the two to come together. But Erin didn't care about this, she just looked up calmly, as if looking in a mirror, with admiration and anticipation, and a hint of intoxication, looking at the endless sea.

"The sea at night can make people's hearts calm, even if you don't want to do anything, as long as you look at it like this, you won't feel bored." Erin sighed. Milo didn't say anything, he felt that if he spoke up, he would break the beautiful and peaceful atmosphere.

"Thank you, Milo." Erin said softly, keeping her eyes on the sea, "I overheard the handcuffs. ”

"Oh, that, I see you won't get seasick when you get it, I want to help you stop being uncomfortable." Mello finally responded. Sure enough, as he expected, Erin still knew, "I hope you like it, but I don't know about those ......"

"I love it!" Erin rushed to say loudly, and at the same time suddenly turned her head to look at Milo, she quickly realized that she was acting too direct, and slowly turned her face back, slowly lowered her head, and muttered, "So...... Thank you very much......"

Milo was almost frightened by Erin, but quickly smiled and said, "If you like it." That way you'll feel better when you get on the boat again. ”

The sound of the waves came from not far away, and the lights of the ships on the sea moved back and forth, shining and shining in the distant stars of the night sky.

……

"That...... What happened after you left home......" Erin broke the brief silence, "I've heard a lot of rumors before...... Originally, I wanted to ask for a long time, but I was afraid that you would have a bad impression...... I knew you well enough when I was a kid to know you wouldn't do those stupid things...... So ......"

"What do you mean by stupidity?" Melo said with a wry smile as he began to look at the sea, even when he was in the town of Wind, he had never gazed at the sea so seriously.

"Which one? Are there a lot of stupid things? Erin sneered, and the joke amused Milo, and Erin continued:

"Also, it's a fool's idea for you to break with your family."

Milo's face turned sad, and Irene's words evoked that cruel memory—

Ten years ago, at the age of eighteen, Milo could no longer bear the "infamy" that his family had been carrying, and posted a notice on the billboard in Butler City to break with the family, which caused a great sensation at the time, after which Milo left Butler City and began his own wandering life, never going back, never seeing his father and other family members again. However, he still uses the surname that makes him "ashamed" - Ente Koman. Milo's life after that became known until he became the "Ghost of Tum City", and his wandering life remains a mystery.

"That's all in the past......," Milo said perfunctorily, not wanting to talk about it.

But my uncle was very sad, and he often went to comfort him...... Even when you left, my uncle never said anything bad about you......" Erin said, "I'm sorry this wasn't my business, but I just recently left my parents, and I feel very uncomfortable......"

Hearing Erin explain this, Melo didn't have such an aversion to the topic in her heart. She took the initiative to break with her family, but Erin was forced, and it was also a parting, and Erin suffered more than herself. Including when he was wandering, he also regretted leaving the city he was familiar with and his warm family, although he would no longer be subject to all kinds of prejudice and sarcasm, but without family affection and companionship, he really suffered for a long time...... Fortunately, they all survived.

"yes, it's a stupid thing...... "Milo compromised, in fact, in his heart, he had already compromised, if he hadn't been able to return to Splett at the moment, he might have really gone to his father to apologize - of course, he would have felt very shameless.

Erin smiled, and she then asked, "And what stupid things did you do in Windwalk?" ”

"Well...... It's a long story, would you like to hear it? Milo said in a vague way, in fact, this sentence is what adults in this world often say before telling stories to children.

"Hmph...... Do I still think I'm a child? Of course I listen! Erin said mischievously.

The blue sky, dotted with stars, seems to be countless small eyes that blink and blink, inviting people to swim in the vast galaxy. The story of Melo also pours out with the starry river - from Tum City to Windwalk, the desperate battle with the djinn, the burial of the dead comrades, the evil deeds of the Praetorian Guard, the sinister plan of Xia Fei, the terror and extreme resistance of the mutiny, the altar in the snowy mountains, the magical "Magician Sister" wind chimes, all the way to the resolution of the crisis in Windwalk...... Milo's words are good, and he can tell the story in a turbulent and gripping way. As Erin listened, she couldn't help but hold her breath, and her face also showed nervousness, fear, anger, and joy, and she asked every detail of the story from time to time, trying to know the whole story in detail.

However, Heidi Triester is not featured in the story that Mello tells to Erin.

……

It's a long story, and by the time Milo finishes speaking, the northeast skyline has turned white.

"So many complicated things have happened!" Erin sighed unsatisfactorily, "It turns out that it was the wind chimes that saved Windwalk, the first time I've heard of it. She also teleported the Praetorian Guards away, and when we heard that the Praetorian Guards suddenly appeared next to the capital, we thought that someone was drunk and talking nonsense! ”

Milo let out a long breath and didn't say anything, but looked very satisfied, as if he had completed a huge project.

"Actually, you are not treason, you are doing harm to the country. It's just that Your Majesty and the other ministers don't know your situation at that time. Erin added, "I think you've done a good job, and the mutinous soldiers deserve to be killed." ”

"Thank you, you understand, I'm really happy." Melo sincerely said that if Erin knew that Melo had killed someone because of Heidi's death, she might have been more supportive.

"So you've been through so many ......," Erin said with a hint of envy and a little sadness.

"Your experience is also very tortuous and complicated." Mello said, as if in response to Erin's envy. Suddenly, he sang: "Ah! It's a hard day, please don't come again......"

Erin was startled and hurriedly said, "Don't sing, don't sing, you don't sing well at all!" After saying that, she smiled, "This song is really appropriate." ”

……

Erin got up and patted the sand off her body. She looked up at the starry sky and saw that the light in the east was fading the stars into half of them.

"Do you know the 'Curse of the Stars'?" Milo asked coldly.

"I haven't heard of it, what kind of story is this?" Erin asked inexplicably.

Melo shook her head, motioning to be unconcerned.

Fishermen began to appear on the beach, and they cast envious glances at the two of them, and some fishermen even sang local love songs that even Milo and Erin could understand.

"Let's go, go back to the inn." Erin didn't want others to misunderstand, and motioned for Milo to leave with her. When they returned to the inn, it was just dawn, and Captain Finn and the sailors of the Union, who had been drunk the previous night, were gone, apparently getting up to go back to work.

"Thank you for accompanying me to see the sea." Erin said to Milo, who bowed her head gently as a sign of gratitude and respect.

"You're welcome, remember when we used to play together, didn't I take care of you like my brother, just now." Milo said.

"Well, then my sister is going to grow up quickly, and she can't keep bothering her brother!" Erin said with a smile.

……

Nightfinch watched Milo and Erin at the door of the inn from the window of the room, and smiled with satisfaction. Last night, she suggested that Erin could go and see the sea if she was in a bad mood, but added: "But it's too dangerous to go alone, who knows if there will be Splitter's spies hiding here." I'd love to go with you, but I'm too drunk to protect you......" Nightfinch pretended to be dizzy and said to Erin, "You can make that ...... Just that big stupid guy with you......" she pointed to Milo. Nightfinch was very confident, and from Erin's disappointed expression she was sure that Erin would listen to her and go to Milo. Nightsparrow also stumbled into it, she didn't know that Heidi had invited Milo to go to see the sea with her, but she just wanted to get the two closer and closer in the name of "watching the sea".

Snow Dog also leaned over to the window and looked at the two people at the door of the Lu shop, smiled hehe, gestured with his hand a few times, and Night Sparrow glanced at it and knew that what he wanted to express was-

Good start.
