Gray blurted out this sentence unconsciously, but it was extremely difficult to say.

On the altar of dance, the human body is a tool for miracles, and at the same time it is the ultimate imprisonment of human beings.

Gray tasted too early on the inability to overcome physical confinement.

But he was always unwilling, and he kept working desperately to protect the dying flame of hope in his heart. But today's long-lost stage told him cruelly and realistically - you are really not suitable to go on stage again, and your hardship and hard work for so many years have only lasted for three minutes!

In those three minutes, he was actually happy, even if he endured the pain, but Gray found that the five years of leaving made a deep leap in the texture of his dance.

is no longer the youthful and frivolous flamboyance and desperate aggressiveness, the tempering of time and pain can even be conveyed through the body unconsciously. This dance was not designed for him, and the difficulty was very low for him, but for the first time, he felt that the difficulty was not a bad thing, and in his current physical state, such difficulty was conducive to expressing more layered things.

Perhaps, this rich emotional expression is spontaneous, and the reason is her existence.

He was her assistant actor, and Gray did not forget his purpose and positioning on the stage this time. Shaida's strength is not enough now, so someone like Gray will take away her luster if he is not careful. Gray struggled to restrain his play, and carefully forbade the possibility of Mirage appearing.

For some reason, the body is no longer able to dance, and the ability to enter the mirage state, which was originally attached to the dance itself, still exists. Now Gray doesn't even need to move, just by looking at the eyes to make a small area of space appear mirage.

In a way, Gray is the only person in the world who can control Mirage of his own volition.

However, on this stage, that must not happen, because that would be detrimental to her performance.

It required restraining one's emotions, and in that three-minute dance, Gray experienced more intense emotions than at any other moment.

So at this moment, I am more disheartened than ever.

Somehow, the words of Konstantin Sakalov in a TV interview not so long ago have always echoed in my mind: "I want to try their hand at pas de deux......"

There is no doubt that the object of Sakarov's imagination - it should be her!

The feeling of dancing with her is a wonderful feeling of being at home in water, and with her presence on the stage, you don't know what new miracles will be produced in the next second.

I was inexplicably suffocated.

Gray had stretched out his hands and stared at his long, powerful fingers. How I wish I could lift her high with these hands, with these arms, and lift her higher than anyone else. But Sakarov was able to do such a thing, but he lost such a possibility.

In the world of dance, Gray has experienced the best and the worst, which makes his young heart as if it had been rudely polished by gravel, and he is not shocked by all the humiliation of the world. But after taking the stage today, he found that the pain of the harvest was no less than that tragic moment back then.

At this moment, the girl hugged him tightly and cried indulgently.

She cried out hoarsely in a staccato voice, "Gray, what are you talking about! All this time, you have been holding me up! ”

Gray was stunned, and the pain in his heart seemed to be soothed by her words, and became less intense. Was it because it was the first time she had called her name so smoothly and gently?

Is this how she understands everything?

Gray didn't say a word, just hugged her tightly, let her weep in his arms, and slowly, buried his face in her long hair.

If you will allow me, I would like to lift you higher, not with this body, but in another way!

You...... Would you be willing?

Gray whispered to her in his heart.

In just three minutes of dancing, Gray Fantacia's old leg disease was triggered to the limit. The performance on stage is completely different from the usual practice, and in order to achieve the specific requirements of the movement, it is simply impossible to deliberately pay attention to and protect the injured right leg. What's more, this is a pas de deux, and there are a lot of lifting movements.

This means that Gray's body is subjected to gravity not only by his own, but by two people.

No matter how good he is at adjusting his center of gravity, the leg that is difficult to bear weight will inevitably be affected.

That's why after the performance, he hid alone, and the pain was so painful that the sweat all over his body was almost gone.

Since I chose to do this, I knew that this unprecedented pain would be the price I had to pay. And the inner wavering, too.

I didn't expect her to cry all the time to find herself, I didn't expect her to appear suddenly, and I didn't expect that this unbearable pain would be diluted and melted by her tears, and turned into something not so unbearable.

Are you a doctor?

From the very beginning, she was the first to see through her pain and has always tried to be her own healer.

Because of what? Is it just because there is more kindness and softness in the heart than others?

But if it goes on like this...... Patients are often addicted!

This time it pulled the wound too violently, so Gray had no ability to move for a long time, and could only sit on the ground and couldn't get up at all. Shaida cried for so long that she had lost her ability to think, and she cried until her eyes were so swollen that she couldn't even open them. In the end, Gray had to worry about whether she would cry until she became dehydrated, and very clumsily comforted her for a long time, and she gradually came back to her senses.

The two of them embraced and hid in the most remote corner of the theater in a strange country, I don't know how long. The two people's mobile phones rang one after another, which seemed very harsh, so the two people simply turned off their mobile phones one after another.

There is nothing outside to disturb me anymore, and I don't even feel the passage of time. Shaida wiped Gray's sweat over and over again, taking his clothes out of her bag and wrapping him tightly.

Fortunately, the climate of Minami is warm, otherwise, after so much sweat, the pores will be wide open, and you will have to get the wind and evil into the body, and you will suffer from a severe cold.

She would never allow such a thing to happen to Gray Fantacia.

Fate was already too cruel to him, and she didn't want him to be hurt in the slightest!

But his own strength is so meager, and there is so little he can do for him.

Unable to move and with nothing to do, Shaida sat quietly beside Gray, waiting for the pain in his leg to slowly ease. As they sat next to each other, her hand had been gripping Gray's hand tightly, but she hadn't even noticed it.

The person who was caught, but felt that the hand was on fire, as if it was burning.

It was Gray who broke the silence first.

"You got it...... About Gilgamesh......" he said in a low voice, slowly.
