Chapter 8: Happiness?
"Now, Aino, do you say that my parents are happy? Are they happy even if they don't get everyone's blessings? At this time, Youzhu looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky and asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It must be happy, your parents, even at the moment of death, they are happy." Although Aino felt that Youzhu had found the answer on his own, he still spoke.
"Yes, then Aino-kun, I think I've found my happiness too. It's not the happiness of being a witch, but the happiness of being a woman, just like my mother. ”
A chill was transmitted from the body under him to Aino's body, and it stands to reason that Aino, who has always maintained the Ripple Immortal Dao Breathing Method, can't feel the cold, but his heart is like experiencing a ten-magnitude earthquake, and it beats irrepressibly violently, directly breaking the rippled breathing that Aino has been maintaining.
"Aino, not as a companion in the common search for the roots, nor as a partner who supports each other on the demon path, but as a man. Will you be with me and make that eternal covenant with me? ”
It's obviously an exciting word, and it's obviously a confession of a girl's love.
But Aino felt a slight tremor all over his body.
Can't promise, can't promise, can't promise
Agreed, what about red pupils and black pupils?
Say yes, say yes, say yes
How can you refuse a beautiful girl's confession? You're still not a man, as for the red pupils and black pupils, just go back and explain it to them when the time comes, after all, they love me so much, they will definitely forgive me for my flowery heart.
In his mind, the two Aino turned into angels and demons, constantly speaking words of persuasion.
When Aino came back to his senses, Ano had been placed on the couch in the mansion of the Kuyuan Temple.
Although he couldn't move even a finger, Aino could feel the burning eyes that seemed to burn him out.
But even so, Aino still couldn't make a promise, couldn't say even a word.
Promise her to take Youzhu to live a life without a future? And what about red pupils and black pupils?
didn't promise her, but what about that reluctance in my heart?
Why do you go out with a girl who has only known each other for a few days? Why did you protect the girl who once wanted to kill you? At the last moment just now, what kind of mood did you hold her under yourself?
There's no way Aino can trick himself into denying that emotion.
Opening his mouth, Aino said in a bitter voice: "Youzhu, you don't know anything about me at all, how can you make such a hasty decision?" ”
"In the future, we will have time to understand slowly." Youzhu said coldly, it's completely like no matter what you say, I just think of you.
"Youzhu, I'm just a passer-by in a hurry in this world, and I'll be leaving soon."
"Then I'll leave with you." It's not the answer I want, but why do I feel happy?
"So will you be willing to give up this house of yours?" From Aoko, Aino learned that this large house has an extraordinary meaning for Youzhu.
"I'll ask Aoko to take care of this house for me." In other words, can you give up your precious memories for yourself?
"I will encounter a lot of dangers in the future, I will encounter all kinds of powerful enemies, and I may die at any time."
"It's okay, I'll face it with you, even if it's death." Why do you have a smile on your face?
"I'm going to keep traveling, and there won't be a day when I stop, can you stand it?" As if he was afraid of something, as if he was looking forward to this, Aino looked at the girl in front of him who blended into the night.
"It's okay, as long as Aino is around, I'll put up with this." The cold words, remembered from the darkness, rippled in the heart lake like waves.
“…… Well, with beads, I'm still ......"
"Huh?"
"Jingle bells." The phone rang suddenly, interrupting what was about to be spoken.
Youzhu had already picked up the microphone, and the hurried movements showed how impatient her owner was.
"Aoko......?" Listening to Youzhu, who was listening to the microphone, he suddenly made an uneasy sound.
On the other side of the phone, only one sentence was answered. It is the word that will be weaker than the pearl, like a flame about to be extinguished.
"I'm sorry, I was knocked down." Aino was far away from the phone, but with his sensitive hearing, he still heard the voice coming from inside, and he heard something that was very different from what Aoko would say.
Just one sentence.
Youzhu calmly put down the microphone.
Originally with a look of anticipation, this time it returned to coldness.
It's as if the confession just now was just an April Fool's prank.
"Something happened to Aoko." Will turn his head, Youzhu said to Aino.
"I'm going to pick her up." Said to Aino without question.
"But you look like this, how can you pick her up? Why don't you wait for me to reply......"
"It's too late! Qingzi's words must be really strong. Now he must be seriously injured, and he doesn't even have the strength to move, so he must be hungry. ”
"But you now, you look like this now, how can you tell me to let you go out alone!"
"So you left Qingzi alone? Is it for this reason? ”
It's just Qingzi's phone call, but the originally warm atmosphere is gone, but it is full of gunpowder.
"The first pair searched for the enemy. The second pair and the third team will do emergency treatment on the scene. It's okay for everyone to come out. As long as Aoko is alive, make sure her heart doesn't stop beating. "Arizuki sent a command to the gray starling in the house, which is a specially created bird form to monitor the city, and can exist for a long time without the magic power of its owner.
"Hey! Are you really going? Seeing this look, Aino also knew that she had made up her mind, but even so, she still asked again with a hope of one percent.
But what Aino was waiting for was not Youzhu's answer, the cold and soft red lips were reflected on Aino's mouth again, and he quietly stared at Aino who was lying on the bed and couldn't move, as if he wanted to record his appearance in his mind forever, and then picked up the cloak that was put aside, and was about to walk out without looking back.
"Wait a minute, I'll go too!" Listening to the sound coming from behind, Youzhu didn't stop, but walked faster.
"Youzhu, wait a minute, I have a way to lift the curse that the orange has put on me." Hearing this, Youzhu stopped, turned his head and walked quickly to the sofa, looking down at Aino.
"Find something, pierce my heart. As long as I die once, the magic cast on me will be automatically lifted. Looking at Youzhu with hope in his eyes, Aino didn't talk nonsense, and explained the way he thought of in a few words.
He looked at Aino quietly, then ran into the kitchen without looking back, and when he came out again, he already had a knife for cutting fruit in his hand.
With a pale face, he held the knife and gently pressed it against Aino's heart, then closed his eyes and pushed it in hard.
The sharp knife plunged deep into Aino's heart without even the slightest hindrance, and as the blade was withdrawn, the blood dyed Youzhu's whole person red like an irrepressible fountain.
Looking at the red sprayed out, there were beads that shook, and one of them was about to fall to the ground if he was unsteady on his feet.
But was caught in a warm embrace.
After that knife, Aino's body had automatically consumed a life force to replenish it, allowing him to remove the magic of the orange.
A stride picked up Youzhu with the princess, and then put the spear on his back, and without looking back, he ran outside.
Aino will not forget that now Qingzi is still in danger outside.
Feeling the wind blowing in his hair, he opened his eyes again and saw himself flying in the sky.
Looking down at the receding landscape, Youzhu suppressed the sound that was about to jump out of her throat. She gripped the clothes on Aino's chest with both hands.
"Youzhu, where is Aoko?"
"It should be in the Hattian church." Although he used words that he couldn't say for sure, Aino could sense that Yuzhu must think that Aoko was there.
"Where is that?" For this strange city, Aino has no idea where the place Youzhu is talking about.
He stretched his head out of Aino's arms, barely saw the general appearance of the city by the moonlight, and then pointed to a very conspicuous building with a red cross, and said.
"Right next to the hospital."
"yes, hold on tight." He bowed his head and gave an order, and without waiting for Youzhu to answer, Aino used the moon step to speed faster and rushed in the direction pointed by Youzhu.
And Youzhu in his arms, he only had time to grab Aino's clothes, although the wind continued to blow his body, but in this embrace, Youzhu felt a reassuring warmth.
A moment later, Aino landed in front of the church door with Youzhu in his arms.
Despite being covered in snow, the triangular eaves can still be seen on dark nights. At its entrance stood a tall figure.
"Kuenji." A calm man's voice rang out. A man in a cloak-like coat was waiting for Youzhu at the entrance.
Youzhu reluctantly jumped out of Aino's arms, and then greeted him.
"Father Yongli, Qingzi she ......"
"Weijia is diagnosing. It was late when I arrived. I would like you to inform the Aozaki family. ”
"Aoko wouldn't want that. And it seems to be trapped over there now, too. Because the first thing our opponent did tonight was to seal Aoko's grandfather. "Youzhu is communicating with each other. Aino, on the other hand, watched motionlessly from behind, as the two were communicating.
"Ah...... Who is this? There was a slight danger in the calm man's voice.
In response to the man's question, Youzhu took a step forward and said in an extremely affirmative tone.
"That's my fiancé, it's just that the contract wasn't fulfilled."
"Really?" Just asked, and the man didn't dig into it.
And Aino in the back wanted to refute Youzhu's words, but he opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
"Is it an alien magician who didn't come to report?" Youzhu listened to the priest's words and only lowered her head slightly.
"We've been informed, and he's my fiancé, even if the contract isn't fully concluded, he's eligible now."
"Please. I'm going to mediate now. If there is a change of manager, then the materials must be prepared for both organizations. Ah, I'll leave it to the law frame when I'm away, and I'll look for her if I need anything. "Fr. Yongli was like an exchange with the two of them, and he walked out of the church at the same time as they entered the church.
As Father ............ passed, Aino felt a wave of curiosity and an inexplicable gaze on him. At this time, Aino looked at the priest who had been talking to Youzhu and ignored him.
The man did have the demeanor of a priest. In a word, he is a beautiful man, with a straight nose and rosy lips, and a somewhat neutral appearance with a straight appearance. However, this is only in terms of his appearance. The priest's demeanor was not feminine in the slightest. He conjures up images of time-worn steel, reliable but not easily approachable. Behind the glowing eyes at the bottom of the milk bottle are a pair of bottomless eyes, like oranges, that make it impossible to explore the bottom of their hearts.
The priest wore a black coat and disappeared into the moonlight.
Aino only looked at it slightly, and then followed in Youzhu's footsteps.
"Don't let up. He was a member of the church. Although he will spy on us, this time we will have to rely on him. If possible, I wish he had disappeared first. With words that resembled curses, Youzhu pushed open the door to the chapel.
The door of the chapel is twice as tall as Yusu, and it seems to be a very heavy door, so if it was Yuju who was able to use magic before, it would not be a problem to push open the door at all, but for Yuzhu now, it can be called an impossible task.
Passing Youzhu from behind, he pushed the door open with a slight force, and the two stepped into the church, and then Aino closed the door behind him again.
The lights of the chapel glow with the nostalgic smell of kerosene. The ceilings in the interior are high, and the decorative water feature on one side of the wall fully reflects the majesty of the chapel. This is a stage installation to prove the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Like the hall of the Kuenji family, there are no heating tools in the chapel. The cold makes it a more solemn space.
"There is a small one. Come this way. A warm voice rang out, different from the chapel. It was a gentle female voice.
"Is it Sister Lijo? Inside? "Ariju crossed the neat benches in the chapel and walked towards the altar in the depths.
"You're early. I was just going to pick you up. ”
“…… Because someone sent me. It's the guy behind me. ”
"Someone sent ...... He is? ”
"He's an alien magician, my fiancé."
"Really? Even if it's Xiaoyou, has he reached such an age? ”
And Aino behind him didn't say a word, for the title of the fiancé of Youzhu, although he knew that it was just filling in other people's words, but he had an inexplicable emotion in his heart, and he didn't want to deny it.
