27: Of course, it is impossible to sleep together
"With such a beautiful melody, its creator must be beautiful and lovely!"
The moonlight shone under the tree, and Takitatsu jumped off the treetops and walked to where Devile Wood was.
Two full blue moons give the world a beautiful and lonely solitude, in this deserted forest.
"Sorry to wake you up."
"I'm just a little insomnia, and it would be a pity if I didn't come out to see such a beautiful moonlit night. Can I sit next to you? Tifa Devierwood. ”
"Hmm!"
Devil Wood put away the instrument in her hand, and the eyes that looked at Takitsu sparkled in this moonlit night, and the full moon of the twins snuggled together through the reflection in her eyes. "It's hard to read, isn't it? Just call me Tifa. ”
"I'll leave here tomorrow, is it really okay?"
The two full moons are beautiful, more striking than the moon in their hometown, but what is even more admirable is the eyes that reflect the moonlight. Perhaps noticing Devile Wood's gaze, Takichen sat down beside her again.
"Ever since I came here four years ago, I've been alone, and I'm thinking I'm going to have to live alone."
Maybe it was because he heard Takichen's words and brought back memories of the past, but even Davile Wood herself didn't notice that Takichen's frightening eyes were no longer special in his heart.
"Do you regret it?"
"It's okay, I want to see the outside world too."
"Is that so..."
Takichen was greeted with an ordinary smile, and although Devile Wood didn't look at him, he knew that there must be a lot of expectation in it. The eyes looking at the moon are smart and ethereal, and the unique tranquility of Devile Wood infects Takichen.
"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight".
This is like a confession, especially under the moonscape of this different world, the two people who know each other are alone, there is a kind of youthful throbbing, at least Takichen still enjoys this strange atmosphere.
"Hmmm! I want to walk freely in this world and meet all kinds of people. But I was also scared, after all, I didn't understand anything. ”
Devile Wood suddenly looked at the instrument in his hand, a little distracted, it was a long strip similar to a melodica, about the length of a palm.
"Wouldn't it be a pity not to see such a beautiful world?"
Takijin grabbed Devile Wood's left hand that supported her body, and Devile Wood looked at him with a somewhat distracted gaze, but she didn't break free.
"Actually, I have the magic I inherited from my mother, and the year I knew I would use magic was when my mother was taken away by the army, so I feel pain every time I think about it."
There was a hint of sadness in Devierwood's eyes, but she quickly returned to her original appearance, but no matter how much she tried to hide it, she couldn't hide the confusion in her heart: "I don't know if this is good or bad." ”
"That's right..."
Takichen looked at the two full moons in the night sky, which were so eye-catching in such a night, and Miss Elf's troubles sometimes made people care so much: "Although I don't know, but this is not a bad thing, you were born as a half-elf, and there is magic flowing in your blood, which must also have the meaning of its existence." ”
"Existence is reasonable, the inequality of fate does not mean compromise, the name Tifa Devilwood was given to you by your mother, then she must have blessed this name, and I hope you live happily."
Although I don't know if Devile Wood can understand what she is saying, it doesn't matter, and the meaning that Takitaki wants to convey is already clear.
"Mother..."
Suddenly hearing Takichen call his name, Devile Wood recovered a little, looked at the sky again, and the invisible longing turned into a face that was concerned day and night reflected in the night sky, which could not be forgotten for a long time.
"I think it should be fate to be able to meet you, so I can understand your feelings."
Takita's gaze at Tifa showed a hint of tenderness for the first time in a long time, and he held Devile Wood's right hand with a little force, but also with a hint of affirmation. It wasn't until Devile Wood turned her gaze to him that she continued: "If you're in trouble, tell me, and if you don't mind, you can confide in me." If it's Miss Elf's words, I'd love to listen. ”
"Thank you, Takita! It's nice to be friends with you!"
The knot in Devile Wood's heart seemed to be untied, and she suddenly grabbed Takichen's right hand, knowing that she was comforting her, but did not refuse.
"Let's rest tonight, I'm going to leave here tomorrow."
Takichen sent Devile Wood back to the cabin, and some noisy wind swept across his back, and Takita, who was already standing alone in the doorway, couldn't help but feel a little cold.
"Please... Please... ”
Tifa freed up half of the bed, and lifted a corner of the bedding a little shyly but thoughtfully. She has been lacking communication with the outside world for many years, and she does not know what such behavior means to strangers.
"Well, I'll go outside and take a look, you can sleep first." Looking at the cute appearance of Devile Wood lying in the futon, Takijin couldn't help but feel full of guilt.
"Innocent Miss Elf."
The voice was so small that it was almost only audible, and after leaving such a sentence, Takizu closed the door. At a certain moment, even he wanted to abandon worldly ideas and sleep with the elven girl.
"Could it be that I'm hated by Mr. Takichen..."
A slight sound reached Tifa's ears, and the wooden door had been closed, leaving only Tifa lying in the futon for a long time.
"What is this? Is it something related to the messenger of nothingness? ”
On the trunk of the tree in front of the wooden house, Takichen looked at the pattern on the back of his hand, like a silver-white powder imprinted on his skin, but he did not feel disobedient.
Although Takichen didn't know what the silver-white mark was for, when he fought the gargoyle before, Takichen saw it emit a ray of light with his own eyes, and the monsters remained motionless as if they had been immobilized.
After much consideration, Takichen finally tore off a piece of cloth to hide the small pattern. As for the weird patterns on the neck, no one will notice them hidden under the shoulder-length hair without careful observation.
A journey to the new world, starting again after the gems are gone.
In this regard, Takichen has always had a question, judging from the previous two experiences, he may not die in the true sense, or it can be said that he will go to the new world after death. However, this kind of thing can only be confirmed in special circumstances, and if it is different from your own guess, everything is meaningless.
Quiet nights are always short, when the morning sun shines through the gaps in the leaves on the vegetation, in the secluded forest, the sound of birdsong echoes among the trees, and the morning light is reluctant to stay on the eaves.
Tifa Devierwood stood quietly in front of the door, looking at the mossy wooden house, reminiscing about the time when she lived alone in the Wood Forest of Ranfondo.
"It's almost time to go."
"Hmm."
Tifa's nostalgic return is the harbor that has accompanied him for four years.
"Don't worry, I'll be by your side on the way." Takizu led the horse to Tifa. "Let's go."
"Hmm!"
Tifa accepted Takita's kindness and carefully mounted on the horse with his help, a smile on his sad face.
The mount was tamed by Takizu on the grassland last night, and the method must have been that someone used the overlord color to directly succumb to the free horses under his obscenity, so that they were very well-behaved all night. Not knowing how long it would take to get to town, Takichen chose a more open grassland, as he stumbled upon a dirt road overgrown with weeds and still showing signs of wheels, and the direction at the other end of the road led to Devile Wood's home.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Looking at Tifa, who had a sad face on his face and seemed to be remembering something again, Takichen moved the horse closer a little.
"No, I just... It's just the first time I've been so far away from home, so I'm a little uneasy. ”
Tifa's smile was a bit far-fetched, and it didn't seem that he wanted to worry Takita.
"There's still a long way to go, doesn't it matter?"
"It's okay, are we going to the Kingdom of Kinstie?"
"Do you know how to get around the kingdom of Kinstie?"
It's a little abrupt, although she knows that Devile Wood has lived here for so many years, Takichen hasn't asked her this.
"Yes, this should be the border of the kingdom, and it is still a long way from the royal capital."
Devil Wood said with some nostalgia that when her mother was still alive, she often told her stories about the relationship between elves and humans, which naturally mentioned some towns where humans are located and areas where the country's power is distributed. "This is the southern frontier of the kingdom of Kinsti, and because of the rarity of people all year round, it can almost be called a paradise for wild beasts. The forest I live in is called Ranffindor Wood Forest, and this area is called Ranffindor. ”
After listening to Devile Wood's addition, Takichen roughly understood where he was. On the other side of the Ranffindor Wood Forest is an endless plain, and that is exactly where Takichen must pass, and only through the plain can he see the town.
If this is a trip, then the elf girl next to Takichen is the beautiful scenery of this trip.
There seems to be a saying, how do you say it? You're looking at the scenery, and I'm looking at you.
These words that inadvertently flashed in his mind and that he had heard in his hometown made Takichen instinctively talk to himself, maybe this was the rebellion brought about by the loneliness of those ten years.
"Mr. Takita, what are you talking about?"
Tifa turned to look at Takichen, although they were only temporarily tamed horses, they were very well-behaved, and they were completely uninhibited as a fierce horse should be.
"I remembered some memories of my hometown."
After keeping the horses at a distance of about one meter and two from Tifa, Takichen handed the flower branch to Tifa like a trick.
Traveling with the elf girl, the fantasy of the past has become a reality, and a dream journey has unfolded incredibly.
"Your pupils don't look like human eyes."
The moment they met Takichen's gaze, Devile Wood saw his bright red vertical pupils, but this time Devile Wood spoke out the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
"I'm sorry, I..."
It was only a few seconds for Tifa to realize his gaffe, because trusting him, such a faux pas should never be spoken. However, it is because of trust that I really care about this kind of thing, and I really still care about his eyes.
"Nothing surprising and you don't need to apologize. Actually, there have been some changes in my body that have led to my eyes being like this, but that doesn't affect my side as a human being. Since you don't like it, then I'll just close my eyes. ”
In order to avoid trouble, Takichen chose to disguise himself as a human, but the silver-white ponytail tied with thin rope and the slight hair left on his temples added a neutral beauty that was not easy to distinguish.
"No... No, I didn't mean that, and although it looks a little scary, I know you're a very gentle person. ”
Devile Wood's flustered appearance was somewhat cute.
"It's okay, even if you don't say it, I'll cover my eyes when I'm close to town. Kindness is not a virtue that everyone possesses, and it is inevitable that someone will trouble me. Thank you Devile Wood, no one ever said I was gentle. ”
"How... I can feel that you are a very gentle person. ”
This time it was Devile Wood's turn, and it was a little surprising that he was encouraged by him, and he was only a stranger who had only known each other for a short time.
"Anyway, you don't know my situation yet, don't you think it's unfair only for me to know your past? So, if there is anything you want to know, just ask, after today, there may not be such an opportunity between us. ”
Takichen changed the subject, and if he continued to dwell on the problem of his eyes, he might also leak his mouth. At least in the absence of confirmation of whether Devile Wood is completely trustworthy, there are some things that would be better buried in the heart,
"Are there elves in your hometown?"
Devil Wood ignored Takita's last words, she was curious about where Takita's hometown was, since she had been living alone in the Wood Forest of Lanffindor all these years. As for Wood Village, that's what my mother told me when she was still alive.
"There are no elves in my hometown! Tifa, you're the only elf lady I've ever met. My homeland is far away in the East, where there are no other races, only humans, and peaceful. ”
Looking at Tifa's somewhat surprised expression, Takichen suppressed the urge to tease Tifa, and the words that had never been blurted out were buried in Takita's heart by Takita.
"Only humans..."
"But it's not the first time I've been in an unfamiliar place. Before I met you, I spent many years in a place full of blood and strife, where strength is everything, and although the peace and peace of mind are only temporary, I still enjoy the feeling of traveling with Miss Elf. ”
Although he changed his statement, Takichen did not hide his past.
"I'm sorry... It reminds you of an unpleasant past. ”
A little guilt appeared on Devile Wood's face, no matter how you looked at it, she was so cute and pretty.
"It's okay, I just hope that in such a quiet time, I can spend more time with Miss Elf."
Takitaka looked at the sky, feeling the warmth of the sunlight through the gaps between the leaves. As for Devile Wood's somewhat reddened cheeks, such an atmosphere, Takichen didn't want to spoil it.
