Why, let Yun Yi bear it alone......

Zhao Nan thought to himself: It's all because of my relationship with letting her go to the temple alone.

It's all because I play football.

When school was out that day, the eyes of the rendezvous.

The sound that stays in my ears is so warm.

However, at that time, it was too late to say goodbye properly.

At that time, it would be good if he hadn't agreed to Li Mu's invitation.

If you take good notes yourself.

If you are not distracted and look outside.

If there is no proposal, hide Xiaolan and raise it secretly.

If you don't pick up the little blue.

If no kittens are found.

If that day, that time. In that location, if there are no kittens.

That's right, that's it...... If it weren't for "it", Yunyi wouldn't have died at all.

As long as it doesn't exist, it's fine.

Is it...... It's all its fault,

Unconsciously. Put Yun Yi's death as the object of blame. From himself to Xiaolan.

At this time, the "bad habits" that Zhao Nan's mother once said appeared again.

In the days when Yun Yi just left, although Zhao Nan was confused, he still took care of Xiaolan alone. But Xiaolan is beyond his ability, and it is too much trouble. It is quite a burden for elementary school students to face.

In the end, he finally blamed Xiaolan for Yunyi's death.

It's not really hatred, it's something else.

Because they want to hide their wounds.

I want to escape by blaming something else.

But even if you do, the wound won't go away.

No matter what he does, Yunyi will never come back.

It's a pity that Zhao Nan is still young and doesn't understand this truth.

So, Zhao Nan decided...... Throw away the little blue.

It was pouring rain, just like the day she left.

He had already made up his mind to discard Xiaolan.

Say to yourself in your heart that everything is its fault.

Unexpectedly, a black cat and a girl appeared.

It was as if his mind had been seen through.

Feeling fear, Zhao Nan chose to flee.

Keep running, keep running, keep running.

Finally, I came to the temple where I hid Xiaolan and stole it.

In fact, he had already thought about returning to this place.

Over here. There is the breath of Yunyi.

Too profound. You can't help but feel heartache, a gentle breath.

However, for some reason, I came here again.

As if being guided, Zhao Nan walked into the forest.

Go deeper and deeper, desperate to move forward. Didn't write down the way back. I didn't bother to pay attention.

Suddenly, my feet got stuck in the mud after the rain.

"Wow!"

I fell hard, my whole body was covered in mud, and the cardboard box in my arms was accidentally thrown out.

Shaken, the carton opened.

Little Blue picks her head.

……

The four eyes met, and a strong sense of guilt pierced into the heart.

"Meow—"

"Hey, wait a minute,"

Xiao Lan seemed to be about to escape from Zhao Nan and ran deeper.

"Little, Little Blue ——!"

What the hell?

Why, am I going to chase it?

Wouldn't it be better to leave it alone?

What are you chasing after the past?

Although I don't know why. The body reacts subconsciously.

Then he found that Xiaolan stopped in front.

"Little Blue ......"

He slowed his pace and approached.

- Suzu.

Shadows emerge from the darkness,

No, it's a cat, it's just - a black cat.

"Wow, it's very energetic, wouldn't it be sad to be put in such a small place?" The black cat asked.

Little Blue meowed. As an answer.

At this moment, a white appeared in the darkness - a girl in white appeared.

"Oops. We're meeting again."

The girl smiled slightly.

「………… Ahh......h

His teeth chattered and he couldn't speak.

Zhao Nan tried to restrain himself from falling.

finally made a sound, but Zhao Nan could only say this word.

Sure enough, it wasn't a goblin at all,

Seeing his reaction, the black cat spoke angrily.

"Hey, dead child. What do you mean, you actually say that we are monsters!

The black cat flexibly stood on its feet and approached Zhao Nan.

It feels more and more terrifying.

"Listen up. It's a pretty good Grim Reaper! Show me clearly—"

As he spoke, the black cat hooked its tail forward, grabbing the white part of the end with its front foot. Form a "circle", which is vaguely illegible.

"Come on. In vain."

"What?"

Originally, he was full of posture, but he didn't expect to be asked by the girl, and the black cat almost slipped.

What else was asked of me; ID card!

"Is it necessary? This kid doesn't understand, does he?"

"It's a must-have opening sentence anyway! Hurry up—"

The black cat urged, and the girl had no choice but to put her hand into the circle with a helpless face.

"Whoa—" The black cat reacted exaggeratedly.

"It's because you do it every time. I don't want to take ......."

"No, it's not closed...... Tie it...... Oh ......."

"Ugh. I can't stand you......

The girl took her hand back with a helpless expression. There is an extra white business card case in his hand.

She opened the box and presented it to Zhao Nan.

Zhao Nan couldn't understand the content on the business card, only two words were particularly eye-catching, and they were the only words he knew.

"See, Death,"

The black cat proudly shows off its owner's head street.

…… Death......

Ah, is it a limited hidden edition? I haven't seen it!"

However, Zhao Nan completely misunderstood the meaning of the black cat.

When he saw the ID card, he automatically thought of the card game.

The black cat froze. Fall vertically backwards.

"Ahh

The black cat performed a trick and then flipped over and planted the onions.

"Daniel, what are you doing?" The girl couldn't stand it and said.

Then she walked over to here.

Holding Xiaolan in his arms.

Zhao Nan was surprised, but did not say anything.

The girl also hugged the dizzy black cat into her arms.

"I am the Grim Reaper—in charge of death." The girl said so.

Charge...... Death?"

Zhao Nan repeated her words.

"That's right. In other words, it's -- it means to take lives specifically."

She stood in front of Zhao Nan, a little taller than Zhao Nan. Xiang Bu looked down at him.

"Take your life? What are you talking about, less liaring-one

The body floated.

There was an invisible force that blew him back.

"Wow, ahhhhh

He was blown to the ground and rolled around, hitting his head against the roots of the tree.

The impact of the head was nothing compared to my mother's fist.

Important. Was this strange wind just now coming from the fairy-like girl in front of you?

The black cat suddenly spoke—

"In vain! What are you doing? That girl asked us something—whoa!"

Before he could finish speaking, the black cat was kicked lightly by the girl like a football. Get out of the factory.

The girl continued to approach Zhao Nan.

The cold eyes did not change, and the gray scythe was pressed against his neck.

"One more word, and I'll kill you."

Zhao Nan's face began to turn blue.

It's scary.

The girl stared straight into his eyes, and suddenly opened her eyes again. Looking down at Xiaolan in his arms.

This kitten, it's cute, isn't it?

"Talent...... There is no ......."

Zhao Nan desperately resisted the fear in his heart and made a sound hard.

"Look, its eyes are blue. It's beautiful."

…… That...... So what...... It's none of my business......

The girl tested Zhao Nan's reaction, as if she was confirming something.

Is it? So - it doesn't matter if I kill it?

A white girl like snow spits out lines that are as cold as ice.

"Whew!"

I wanted to retreat, but I was blocked by the trunk of a tree, and there was no way back.

The girl looked down at Zhao Nan's embarrassed appearance, and a smile appeared on her face.

"My job is to take souls. Take the soul away. So, even if I kill this cat...... It doesn't matter. Isn't it?"

I don't know when, the sickle that was originally on Zhao Nan's neck turned to Xiaolan.

"Meow—"

Little Blue had no idea how much danger she was facing, and let out a cute cry that didn't fit in with her surroundings.

Eyes meet.

Yun Yi named it Xiaolan, those beautiful eyes, looking at Zhao Nan.

"Meow ......"

It was as if he was calling Zhao Nan.

It has to be saved.

The mood that had been sealed awakened again.

I think of the time I spent with Yunyi.

Although he was busy for Xiaolan. But very happy.

With her gentle breath and warm voice, you can also become gentle yourself.

She once said -

"I'm Blue's mother. You are the father of the basket, and the blue is our child. L

For that smile, for that spring-like tenderness, what can I do-

- What is it?

The blade was already approaching Little Blue.

…… I. Want to take action?

Can it be done?

I can do it.

You have to do it,

Because, I am ...... I'm —

"Wow, ahh

Zhao Nan rushed over with all his might.

I want to snatch Xiaolan back from the girl's arms.

With a snap, when he fell on the muddy ground, his hand was already holding Xiaolan tightly.

"Don't kill it, because. …… Because I-I'm its dad!" Zhao Nan roared vigorously with a muddy face.

As a result, unexpectedly -

"You can't do it."

The girl smiled.

It was as if the previous sneer was all fake, and the smile was very gentle.

"Huh? Yay?"

What's going on?

I don't know the situation at all.,It seems like I accidentally broke into another dimensional space.。

The girl approached slowly.

This time it doesn't feel weird or frightened.

Because her smile tells herself that there is no need to fear,

"Don't forget how you feel at the moment." The girl said so. "If you abandon Xiaolan, she will not be happy in Heaven."

「…… Yun Yi ...... her."

He understood that the "she" in the girl's mouth meant Yun Yi.

"Why...... ...... you know about Yunyi?"

The black cat, which had been kicked to the side, appeared in the girl's arms again at this time, and said in an unbearable tone, "Please. I'll just tell you she's a grim reaper. That's enough...... Your master is stupid."

It looked at Lan, who was also in the girl's arms, and Lan meowed in response.

Then the girl said—

"Yun Yi still has worries in her heart, although I came to pick up the soul, she can't leave here. You should understand, she's worried about you and Xiaolan."

When Yun Yi first spotted Xiaolan, she saw her own shadow on her weak body.

It's the same as me.

Very weak.

It's the same as me.

Send a distress message.

It's like I'm always asking Zhao Nan for help.

So, this time it's up to me to save it.

I'd love to do it.

If you can help it, if you can raise it well. Maybe I can be stronger myself.

This thought is the reason why she is extremely obsessed with Xiaolan.

It's a pity that this idea couldn't be realized after all.

Because of this, I hope that Xiaolan can survive.

And she knew that Zhao Nan must have been deeply injured.

He will blame himself for Yun Yi's death, and then blame it on Xiao Lan's head.

Hurt others, hurt yourself.

Hate others, and hate yourself.

Yun Yi didn't want Zhao Nan to continue to cover up the wound, as time accumulated, the wound would become deeper and deeper, and it would not be able to heal.

"If this continues, Yun Yi will not be able to be happy after he dies. She's always worried about you, and there's no way to go to heaven." The girl said sadly.

"But, but...... What to do...... I don't know......

Zhao Nan lowered his head.

Chi didn't have the confidence that he could raise Xiaolan well, and he was able to do it because of Yunyi at that time.

Without her, it wouldn't work at all.

"—you can,"

The girl hugged Zhao Nan hard.

"Ah......h

"Didn't you fight just now? Didn't you show courage? You can."

So warm. In the arms of a girl, a gentle mood is generated.

She was as white as snow and as clear as ice, and I thought it would be very cold.

I didn't expect it to be so warm...... Why is it so warm?

Ah, I see. This is the temperature of the heart.

It was warm.

It's familiar.

It's like the feeling of being next to Yunyi.

"Come on ......"

「…… Hmmm......"

"Come on ......"

The girl's voice overlapped with Yunyi's voice.

When you close your eyes, a vague figure emerges.

…… Yunyi ......

What appeared in the darkness - the image of the clouds.

Zhao Nan came into contact with the white girl and saw Yun Yi's soul through her.

"Zhao Nan...... I don't regret it at all."

Yun Yi smiled beautifully.

"I'm glad to have met Xiaolan, and I'm glad to have you with me."

「…… Yunyi ......"

"I'm no longer there...... There's no way to take care of it together...... Xiaolan, please leave it to you."

That's it, huh...... I understand! I...... I'll do my best. If you go to heaven, you will have trouble."

"Thank you. Zhao Nan. It's time for me to go, it's time to say goodbye......

…… Yes......

On that day, it was too late to say goodbye.

In the fog, it seemed that the girl and the black cat were dancing gently around Yunyi.

A huge scythe was wielded in his hand.

However, I don't feel scary at all.

The dancing is very graceful, very gentle, but a little sentimental......

Really. It's still a goblin, right?

Finally, the true identity of the girl can be determined.

At the center point of the splendid dance, Yunyi is radiating light.

"Goodbye, Zhao Nan...... Break ......"

"Spell it out...... Yun Yiyi ......"

He waved vigorously.

Vigorously. Make a big move, so that the kingdom of heaven can also see it.

"Come on...... Little Blue's Daddy......"

The dazzling light enveloped Yunyi.

- Well, I'll do my best.

He smiled.

but shed tears.

Surrounded by warmth.

The eyes of the girl, the god of death, also overflowed with a crystal tear stain. Flowing over the cheeks.

"You're still crying ...... white."

This phrase came faintly from the distant sky.

- The rain stopped.

However, a loud thunder sounded on Zhao Nan's head.

Is that......

"Zhao Nan ——!"

Mom's roar.

"It hurts!"

After eating a powerful iron fist, I felt that my eyes were full of gold stars.

Tears are about to float out. But he desperately held back because—

"Didn't I tell you weren't allowed to bring animals home!".

Mom's anger has not subsided.

"No matter! I'm going to take good care of it, and I'll do what I say this time. Because, because ...... I'm its dad!"

Finally, the teenager began to learn and grow.

Never again, won't let go.

Once, let go of the handle.

And immediately grabbed it.

Never again, won't let go.

Perhaps, it's because your hands are too warm.

Perhaps, it's because I'm too weak.

Perhaps, it's because it's too gentle.

Thank you.

I won't let go anymore.

I can't let it go anymore.
