Happy New Year's Day!!!

――――――――

The scorching heat struck instantly, making the heart of the holy black feel uncomfortable, and being stimulated by the scorching heat, the protector, who was originally a little dizzy because his whole face was twitched hard, instantly sobered up for the most part, and temporarily stopped the inquiry that he wanted to speak for the first time, and the protector shouted loudly.

"Novalo, watch yourself!"

At the same time, under the attack of the life crisis below, the one who protected the three seven twenty-one hugged the heart of the holy black, and there was no time to pay attention to it, the heart of the holy black was now more red cheeks just now, and the body that seemed stiff, and the protection exerted all his strength in his small universe, the freezing gas of the white bird constellation was released, and the scorching flames were opposed, and at the same time, under the use of the protection, the water vapor around the protection began to condense, condensing an irregularly shaped ice block that surrounded him and the heart of the holy black in all directions, under this double defense, Rushed into the flaming hurricane!

"Whoa, oh, oh, oh, !!!"

Under the defense of the double frozen air, the protection and holy black heart that successfully passed through the outer layer of the flame hurricane and entered its interior ushered in not a temporary peace of mind, but an attack with condensed heat in the palm of the lion monster's hand!

Bang!

The right palm of the lion monster ignored the freezing gas around the ice block, and the lion monster with the high temperature burning all over his body simply regarded this freezing gas as nothing, condensed the hot right palm, and slapped it on the ice block hidden in the heart of protection and holy black with one palm!

Rumble!

The hot air exploded instantly, and the high-temperature airflow burst out, and with the blessing of the lion monster's palm, the ice cube of the protection and the heart of the holy black was knocked away in one breath, and at the same time the ice cube that was originally thick was melted, and after being knocked out of the interior of the flame hurricane, the ice cube finally fulfilled its responsibility to protect the heart of the holy black through the flame hurricane safely, but after passing, even if there was still freezing gas outside, it finally couldn't keep the shape of the ice cube, and it turned into ice slag in the sky and shattered. The Heart of Protector and the Holy Black came out of it in the same warm posture as it had just been, and fell to the ground.

Bang!

In the end, he was also reckless, and even in the end, he didn't let go of the Holy Black Heart, but instead turned the protective guard that the Holy Black Heart was holding tightly around his position, making himself a cushion for the Holy Black Heart, and instead of the Holy Black Heart, he suffered the damage that fell to the ground, and slammed into the ground, smashing the ground out of the outline of his back.

"Poof!"

Although there is the existence of the holy clothes, so that the body of the protector fell from a high altitude without much damage, but the impact force of the high altitude falling on the ground made the chest of the protector churn, and at the same time, because the entire left side of the face was slapped hard by the blade of the holy black heart before, the teeth that were a little loose before were protected under this impact, and together with the churning qi and blood in the chest, they were subconsciously spewed out by the guard.

A mouthful of red blood, which was still slightly warm, was sprayed on the face of the Holy Black Heart, which was still slightly flushed at this moment, and his eyes were awake, and he was about to say something.

The blood that had just spurted out of the mouth of the guard still carried a little warm breath, and at the same time, the pungent smell of blood entered the breath of the Holy Black Heart, which made the Holy Black Heart stop speaking in shock for a while.

However, this is only a moment, and the extreme fatigue that comes from the body is suppressed by the mental excitement of the Holy Black Heart at the moment, although he understands that the protection has not been hurt much, but because the protection and himself are not objectively long, but the hug that is too long for themselves, combined with the feelings accumulated when they got along with the protection before, let the Holy Black Heart himself not realize that his attitude and feelings towards the protection have unconsciously surpassed the simple word friendship.

"Hey! Protection, are you alright!! With a bit of concern and chaos, he raised his spirit and anxiously asked Xiang Hu's holy black heart, completely changing the shyness of his little daughter's posture before, controlling his body occupied by fatigue to grab Hu's shoulders and leaning his head over - at this time, Shenghei Heart didn't notice at all that the posture he was in now with Hu was completely like a couple in love who wanted to make mucosal contact.

"It's too close! Novalo! Because of the pain of falling from the sky, Gogo unconsciously half-narrowed his eyes while spurting blood, and at the same time that Gogo opened his half-squinted eyes, Gogo heard Novaro's anxious inquiry with a concerned tone, and Go, who was about to return to Novaro's words, because it was the face of the Holy Black Heart that was almost zero distance into his eyes, so that Gogo swallowed what he originally wanted to say back into his stomach and said other words.

- But speaking of which, I didn't notice it before, and now I don't know where I have the leisure to get it now, or if it's also the instinct of protecting myself as a man, and in the tone of his voice, in addition to being a little panicked, with a little shyness.

At almost zero distance, Hu can clearly see the beautiful and heroic face of the Holy Black Heart worthy of the title of goddess at this moment.

The pupils are as blue as the sky, beautiful and full of heroic sharpness, and the face, lips and hair stained with their own blood do not seem to have much sense of disobedience, but add a different kind of charm - it may be understandable why the Black Earth Frontier is the country with the strongest faith in the game industry.

Not only is it as simple as being able to fulfill the trust of the people under the leadership of the Holy Black Heart, but the Holy Black Heart itself is full of charm that people can't help but trust - unlike the goddess Crimson Heart that he trusts, the charm that belongs to the Holy Black Heart alone, this confident, powerful, and charming woman guides and protects the people of them. Now, he understands the feelings of those Black Earth Frontier troops who attack him out of jealousy.

（…… Wrong! What am I thinking at this time? ）

I slapped myself in my heart, and I confirmed my physical condition, although because of the repeated high-intensity battles, I consumed a lot of physical strength, but because of the middle control of the knight pursuer when I flew to other countries, this was not a long but not short rest time, and the consumption of physical strength was no problem, and the previous battle also had the help of everyone, and the small universe did not consume much, and this time it fell to the ground because of the protection of the holy clothes, and the problem was not big, it was a little body pain, and the loss of a few of my teeth...... Anyway, I'm still young now, so this question is fine!

But the lion-man monster in the sky didn't give much time to protect it, and after shooting down the heart of protection and holy black, it quickly sprinted in the direction of protection and holy black heart - of course, it still maintained the flame hurricane!

And even if you don't have to look at it, the rapid attack of the lion man monster, the small universe with a clear killing intent is obvious enough, and the protection is almost at the beginning of the lion monster's movement, reminding the heart of the holy black.

"Nowalou, it's time to move!"

"Huh!?"

Hu's sudden words made the heart of the holy black subconsciously make a voice that he couldn't understand, but the next moment the heart of the black hugged himself again, and then quickly got up, and hugged himself with a princess hug (the wings behind the heart of the black) that was slightly different from the traditional posture, and after starting to run, the heart of the holy black looked at the man who was full of vigilance in his eyes at this moment, and entered the battle, as if he had given up, showing a slightly helpless expression, even though he still couldn't raise much strength at the moment. The Black Heart's face was still flushed.

Of course, he didn't notice the protection of the Holy Black Heart's condition at the moment, looking at the gradually approaching flame hurricane, and the gradually burning forest, the protection of the eyes was over, a jump, and then focused the small universe of the White Bird on his feet, and while stepping on the ground, he said softly.

"Freeze it."

With Go's words, the small universe of ice in the constellation Shiratori erupted from under Go's feet, freezing the earth and forest behind Go, and then forming a huge wall of ice - but this ice wall was actually not very thick, and could even be said to be thin. But it doesn't matter, because the purpose of the protection is not to stop the flame hurricane, but to get out of the sight of the lion monsters.

Running into the forest that had not yet been affected by the traces of the battle, he held back his breath and found a hidden place, behind a big tree about five or six times as long as himself, put the Holy Black Heart from his hand, and after lying on the trunk, he spread the direction of the small universe perception lion monster, and at the same time turned his head to look at the Holy Black Heart beside him, and said.

"Now, Novalo, you can rest well. The next battle..."

"No, I don't agree."

“… I'll leave it to ...... At least let me have fun, Novalo! ”

Before he could finish his words, he was rejected by the Black Heart's words without a trace of hesitation, and the reason that the Black Heart said next made it impossible for the Black Heart to refute.

"Then there are monsters in the Purple Glory City that need to be dealt with, Protection. In this case, if I spend a lot of energy on my side, I will be putting the cart before the horse. ”

"But Novalo, your current condition can't reassure me at all! I was about to solve the Leo cub when I suddenly fell from the sky, and even now I look tired, how can it make me feel at ease! ”

Gogo gave his reasons, and the Black Heart felt a little like a prank in the face of Go's question—to get revenge for making him so shy before.

"So, do you want to protect me? It's okay not to go to Nepdinu's side, be careful of being misunderstood. ”

"Nepdinu is the existence I want to protect for the rest of my life, and now I want to protect you at this moment, Novalo, there is no conflict, right? And, as your friend, it's normal to help when you're in trouble, isn't it? ”

"I want to protect you...... No, it's not just Nova Lu, I want to protect Nepdinu, I want to protect Nepkia, I want to protect IF, I want to protect, I want to protect everyone, I want to protect this world that contains me......"

Looking at the guardian who was looking at the sky with distant eyes, the heart of the holy black didn't know what was reflected in the pupils of the protector at this moment, and there was no reason to necessarily want to understand - but what the heart of the holy black understood was that his heart was beating faster and faster.

"'I want to protect you at this moment'...... Really, just being able to talk doesn't help, Protection. As if to keep himself from caring about the fast-beating heartbeat, the Heart of the Holy Black opened the topic, but he didn't care about the Heart of the Black Tearing the topic, and he showed a wry smile when he heard the words of the Heart of the Holy Black.

"You know, after all, just saying beautiful things won't change anything - I know this very well."

As he spoke, Go's right hand clenched unconsciously, then released again.

"Hmm...... The other party hasn't found us yet, so it's okay to take a little rest...... Speaking of Novalu, why did you suddenly hit me in the air just now? ”

(This, this idiot!) Wood!? ）

Hearing the words of the protector in a completely unconscious tone, the holy black heart only felt that the anger value in his brain was slowly increasing - if the protector didn't care about it before and noticed it, then it would be too embarrassing to blush and shy himself just now!

It's all the fault of the protection!

A little unreasonable in my heart, I think so, at this moment, I have pushed all the mistakes to the holy black heart of the body, and I am staring at the protection,

However, the heart of the Holy Black Heart, which decided that it was all the fault of the previous events, was indeed like a girl even if the goddess was willful-and the incomprehension of the wonderful act of the Holy Black Heart staring at him with his eyes, and at the same time, he also felt the breath of the lion monster that began to wander around here.

"What's wrong? Novalo? Staring at me like this......" I couldn't figure out what the Holy Black Heart really thought, and looked at the Holy Black Heart's face stained with his own blood, and an answer flashed in his heart.

(Perhaps...... Was it because he sprayed blood on Nova Lu's face? After all, for women, appearance is very important. ）

With a completely different answer from the real one, Hu smiled bitterly again, condensed the faint ice universe in his hand, and then stroked the bloody part of the Holy Black Heart's face before he came back to his senses.

"Ahh

Hu's rough and thick fingers touched his cheek, and Hu's sudden movement made the Holy Black Heart stunned for a moment, and at the same time, under the small universe of Ice Protection, the blood that remained on the Holy Black Heart's cheek was frozen, and then turned into blood-red ice powder and dissipated.

"This is the apology for spraying blood in your face, sorry, Novalo - so. You can rest here, and I'm going to fight. ”

smiled at the Holy Black Heart, and after that, the protector who was about to get up was suddenly pulled by the Holy Black Heart.

"Don't suddenly get up and apologize for something that doesn't matter - and as I said, I don't agree with you fighting alone, I'm going too."

The blue eyes of the Holy Black Heart reveal the eyes that have not changed from the beginning and do not give up the battle.

"Don't embarrass me, Novalo. In your current condition, you can't fight at all. ”

See, and understand the meaning and fighting spirit in the eyes of the Holy Black Heart, but Hu still mercilessly pointed out the current situation of the Holy Black Heart - I don't know what caused the fatigue phenomenon, and this situation is simply looking for death if I have to fight.

Of course, Hu didn't say this sentence, because Hu understood, and this simple truth must have been understood by Novalo even if he didn't say it.

But...... Hu underestimated it again, the Holy Black Heart wanted to fight that lion monster, and he didn't want to let himself go back to the Purple Glory City to fight alone to help him solve the lion monster's determination.

“…… Microcosm. ”

I didn't have any extra energy because of fatigue before, but now that I can finally think about it calmly, I didn't spend much effort thinking about it, so I thought of the most likely reason and subconsciously muttered.

"Small universe ......? So......"

Hearing the murmur of the Holy Black Heart, Hu also recalled that before the Holy Black Heart fell to the ground, the golden Holy Black Heart of the golden Leo universe burned all over his body - and when the Holy Black Heart was suddenly occupied by fatigue, it was also the time when the golden small universe disappeared...... Thinking about this, Hu suddenly felt that he really wanted to know why the Holy Black Heart was suddenly so tired.

"If that's the case...... But it shouldn't be, Mingming...... By the way, how did I forget, I should have been weird from the beginning...... I obviously didn't send the small universe to Novalu, and although the small universe of Novalo was a small universe of Leo at that time, it was obviously a ...... sent by itself."

“… Protect...? ”

Looking at his side, the Holy Black Heart, who heard his own muttering, fell into the fragmented thoughts of the contemplation, and was a little concerned about what the Protector was thinking about, but before the Holy Black Heart could ask questions, the Protector ended the fragmented thoughts of the contemplation first, and there was a little doubt in the pupils of his eyes, and there was a little clarity.

"I'm sorry, Novalo - I'll check your body a little."

With that, he stood up and walked in front of the Black Heart, then crouched down, reaching for the Black Heart's chest, and closing his eyes.

"What..."

Seeing that this protection was simply a beastly action that wanted to attack his own Yuehun Department, the Holy Black Heart turned red, and at the same time subconsciously waved his right hand holding the sword again and swung it towards the protection - but seeing the protection with a serious look on his face compared to his eyes, the Holy Black Heart suddenly felt that it was not easy to start - and at this moment when the Holy Black Heart hesitated, the hand of the guard had already touched the Holy Black Heart Yue Hun mouth.

Hum -

The fluctuations of the small universe of the protector were vaguely released from the hands of the protector and conveyed into the body of the holy black heart, and at the same time, the will of the protector also entered the body of the holy black heart.

(That's right...... ）

At the first time he perceived it with the small universe, he understood that his conjecture was not wrong - there is indeed a small universe of Leo in the body of the Holy Black Heart, and it is not with the help of the Holy Clothes, but the Leo small universe produced in the body of the Holy Black Heart itself...... In terms of feeling, it doesn't reach the seventh sense, it's similar to yourself.

But after understanding, the protection is even more strange, although it is true that everyone in the Saint Seiya world has a small universe, but that is only that world, not to mention that he doesn't know why he has a small universe, but he is at least involved with the Holy Clothes, and if there is no one, it is obviously very strange for the Holy Black Heart to awaken his own Leo small universe that should have nothing to do with the small universe...... Well?

(Leo...... Could it be ...... ）

A thought flashed through his heart, and the sense of consciousness moved deeper into the body of the Holy Black Heart, and at the same time, he was more and more surprised.

(Is this the energy of faith...... The first intuitive feeling is really comfortable, this power full of pure mental power, and what surprises me even more is that it is different from my situation, the belief energy, and the small universe do not have the slightest sense of incongruity, not so much complement each other, but ...... It's as if they were born to be together...... Ah, reached, the deepest. ）

Closed his eyes to perceive the protection, the movement of his hand unconsciously pushed hard, but because of that serious expression, let the heart of the blushing that could already boil water from the part of the chest at the moment, and never waved out his trembling right hand - well, the heart of the black heart was trying his best to restrain the urge to swing his sword.

(This is...... Sleeping Lion? ）

Feeling the golden lion that existed in the deepest part of the Holy Black Heart's body, Hu felt that the lion in front of him was the source of the Holy Black Heart's small universe, which subtly improved the Holy Black Heart's physical ability and made the Holy Black Heart adapt to the power of the small universe.

(Lion...... So sure enough, the biggest possibility is that Aunt Maggie was at that time...... Leo remains in Novalu's body, the seed of the small universe...... I guess that's how it can be understood. ）

(But this color...) It's so dim, and there is a feeling that the small universe is scarce...... Then sure enough, Novaro's fatigue is because of the previous golden posture, and the small universe consumes too much, so the solution is very simple. ）

In the mood of trying, he recovered the consciousness that he had emanated through the small universe, and then followed the route just now, and teleported his small universe into the lion in the body of the Holy Black Heart.

And just as the heart of the protector thought. At the moment of protecting the small universe, although the sleeping golden lion showed no signs of awakening, its body began to regain its golden brilliance.

And in the same way, the Holy Black Heart, which felt the fatigue fading like a tide, clearly understood that the protection was not a lustful hair - of course, the Holy Black Heart did not know that his fatigue was actually in addition to the excessive consumption of the small universe, and the reason why the small universe was so indiscriminately used for the first awakening.

“… Enough, Protection! ”

After feeling that his body was almost able to recover his movements, the heart of the holy black decisively grabbed Hu's right hand with his left hand, took his chest away, and at the same time took a few deep breaths without a trace to relieve the flushing on his face, and said to Hu word by word.

"Didn't you say it, you have to go back to the Purple Glory Capital to destroy the monsters there, don't waste your strength too much, if you fall after the battle again, we will be worried."

"Haha...... Got it, but are you sure it's really okay? I didn't give Nova too much of your little universe ......"

When he opened his eyes and saw the obvious look of rejection on the face of the Holy Black Heart, he just smiled and stopped insisting - but out of concern, he still asked.

In this regard, the Holy Black Heart, who stood up, just smiled confidently and said.

"No problem, judging from the words of protecting you, I was so tired just now that it should be overused in the small universe...... That's why there's such a huge feeling of fatigue coming from my body, but now that this has faded, I feel like I've been fighting for a few more hours, and—"

Speaking of this, the Holy Black Heart deliberately paused, and then showed a slightly mysterious and slightly smug smile and said to the guard.

"It's the first time I used the small universe before, but I didn't control it well, but now, it's no problem."
