Chapter 36: Love
"That...... Don't go......" Ash's voice was very flustered, even with a hint of weakness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"I'm just going to relax. Carnet replied after a moment of silence.
"Ah, that'...... good," Ash seemed to be relieved. The reaction just now was so great that Canette didn't expect it at all.
"You ......" realizes that she has scared Ash, and just as Canette tries to turn her head to comfort her, she finds Ash sitting on the bed with a sad expression.
"Cannet, perhaps...... Some things are said now and some are said early. It's just Ash, what about me...... These past few days...... I'm really happy. Ash hung his head, smiled lonely, and whispered, "Books often say that this world is full of love. I thought about it, why do people hate me so much that they don't even want to look at me?
Later, Ash figured it out, maybe it was because ...... I'm an outcast, so I don't deserve love. ”
The girl looked at the village with silence in her eyes.
The biggest feeling of loneliness is that there are so many people around you, but everyone is reluctant to contact you.
"Who doesn't deserve love?" Hearing this, Canette couldn't help it at all and blurted out.
He felt his head heat up and seemed to have trouble controlling himself.
"......" Ash hung his head, as if in a great sense of loss.
The corners of her eyes seemed to be moist.
"Ash, I'...... I don't want to die like this. Her voice was extremely subtle, and her expression was extremely trance-like: "When I lie in the cold tomb after death, no one will come to see me...... Daddy He...... Because of his position, it is impossible for him to come. So ......"
As she spoke, Ash's tears slipped uncontrollably. Maybe she didn't even know why she was crying at this juncture.
However, one thing is certain: the loneliness of the afterlife scares her immensely.
She was afraid that she would still be alone.
The fear of death is nowhere near as chilling loneliness.
Canette couldn't help but think of a curse.
It's called Amrea's Lock, also known as the Curse of Solitude.
"Right...... I'm sorry...... I...... I don't know why I'm crying. It's just ......" Ash tried to speak, but tears kept welling up, and choking couldn't get her to continue the conversation.
Canette was silent, just looking at Ash quietly.
He knew that it was better not to interject casually at this juncture. It's most effective to let her talk to her heart's content.
Ash's mood gradually calmed down, but the tears were still shining.
"I ...... I still feel a little scared now. Obviously, I was looking forward to getting rid of it soon, but ...... I feel better alive now. Ash sobbed, but was able to speak well: "Sure enough...... Spending too many days before dying makes people afraid to accept death, right?"
"So, Ash. Cannet's head was a little hot, he gritted his teeth and approached the girl: "You...... Do you think it's better that I've never been there?"
"......" Ash shook her head and smiled with tears in her eyes, "No...... I'm so lucky to have met you. Maybe...... God hasn't forsaken me yet. ”
"Now, Cannet......" Ai hoped to the witcher, her still tear-stained expression a little shy, confused and the budding anticipation of an adolescent girl: "Yes...... Let me experience love?"
"Y-What are you talking about......" Canette was a little dazed.
"I ...... Before you die, you want to feel the feeling of being hugged by someone you like (a local hidden word meaning cloud and rain). A blushing Ash lowered his head, as if full of anticipation: "Don't wait until night...... Do it now, can you?"
In this atmosphere, Cannet, who couldn't say a word, only felt that he couldn't suppress his surging emotions for Ash, and hugged the girl in her pajamas tightly.
Only then did he really realize what the suppressed feelings in his heart were. All he could think about was Ash's face and voice.
A few hours later.
Ash ...... I think it might have to be your birthday to give you a present. Cannet, who was also undressed, looked at Ash, who seemed to be a little exhausted, but was very happy, as if he was looking for security to make sure that everything was not a dream, and hugged him tightly, and said softly.
He finally made up his mind.
...... It may be difficult, but ......
It's worth a try anyway.
A strong sense of responsibility and a desire to protect him must not let the girl he hugged in bed for the first time go to the lonely grave.
He knew what Ash was really thinking. Because......
“...... Well. The girl's silver hair reflected a charming sheen in the twilight light, and she buried herself in Carnett's chest, her eyes moistened: "It's good again...... Hug me......"
On the sheets, a patch of red was left.

"Do you know some of the most famous magic tricks of the Transformation Mage?" Lucina asked the classmate who was named.
"Uh......" The classmate was a little confused: "Bread and magic chocolate?" (all taught by Lucina)
"Wrong! Why don't you review well? Obviously, it's ...... Forehead...... I'll take a look. Lucina pondered for a moment, forgetting herself.
The scene was very embarrassing, Lucina flipped through the book with a straight face, and finally found one of the spells: "Uh...... It seems that there is a spider web. Let's learn arachnia today!"
"Teacher, you only taught yesterday. A classmate hurriedly reminded.
"Oh......" Lucina thought for herself, "that's strange, why don't I remember...... Did you drink too much?"
"No matter, then today we are going to test your learning! Everyone has to release the cobwebs that satisfy me!" Lucina announced with a cough.
The class wailed.
"The first in the exam, the teacher rewarded her to play at the Dango Cafe (a café opened by a group of Ayas)!" Lucina shook her body and announced triumphantly, "Aren't you happy?"
The expressions of the whole class were like they were going to die. Only two Ayas suddenly became excited.
"I'll show you first. At least that big!" Lucina cleared her throat and let out a huge cobweb.
This directly covered the entire classroom.
Of course, all of them failed.
