【West Aslan Empire・Rennes Sea】

When Kamine regained consciousness, the first thing she felt was the cold of her body being immersed in the seawater, and she shivered instinctively, but she couldn't feel the stinging pain of the sea water floating in the ice ballast.

She slowly opened her eyes and found herself sitting in the shallow water on the shore, with her back to a black reef that smelled of the sea. The shirtless man was kneeling on one leg in the water in front of him, his head bowed, his eyes closed, and one hand reaching under the surface of the water, as if searching for something.

The memory before the coma should be that he was shocked by a mountain ghost and fell into a craggy hole in the troubled times. But why are you soaking in the shallow sea at this moment?

The golden light that was clearly extinguished in his eyes flowed under the water, and Shen Yin reacted that it was this man who carried him to the shallow sea so that he could make a [array] here for her to recover quickly. It's just that why should he save himself?

Shen Yin looked down at the circle of soul magic under the water that emitted a breath-like light and swirled around him, the man's whole body flashed with a glowing golden soul path, and the surging soul power continued to flow into the rotating light array, countless strong soul power wrapped Shen Yin, and the dense knife cuts on her arms and thighs were rapidly healing, and even the two fist-sized blood holes in her abdomen that were almost pierced began to sprout pink flesh and blood.

And the strange thing is that whether it is the almost fatal blood hole in the abdomen, or the fine knife wounds on the hands and feet, the pain caused by all these wounds seems to have disappeared, and the self wrapped in the light of this man's [array] seems to be cut off from the pain.

"Who are you?" Shenyin asked softly but vigilantly, looking at the man in front of him with his eyes closed.

The man opened his eyes, then slowly stood up, and with the golden light from the swirling array, Shenyin could see his face clearly for the first time.

A pair of big dark and warm eyes. As if it was the most tame animal on the grassland, it exuded an innocent and primitive blankness, like an innocent toddler staring at a new world for the first time, Shenyin relaxed his vigilance in his gaze, and his tense body gradually relaxed. She smiled softly at him, and he couldn't help blushing slightly and looked away.

He had short, messy hair, bright red like flames, and the shredded hair on his forehead was pulled up to the top of his head, revealing his clear and well-defined eyebrows under his open forehead. The bridge of his nose is high and straight. His face revealed a heroic toughness, but his big warm and dark eyes, and the thick and soft eyelashes on them, weakened a little sharper, adding more tenderness, and his mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to speak to you, but he was afraid that he would scare you, but he only maintained the appearance of a shy boy who wanted to speak and stopped.

It is a face that is so gentle and pure that only young angels have.

But. Underneath such a countenance, there is a tall, muscular body. He was almost naked, except for a short ring of armor around his waist, and his wheat-colored skin. From the neck to the feet, and even the face, it is covered with tattoo-like mysterious carvings. His chest is strong and broad, and his limbs are slender and powerful. His hands still had the sticky plasma from the time he had just tortured the mountain ghosts, and his whole body exuded the smell of an aggressive male, and the inside of his muscles was like lightning wrapped in lightning. Filled with endless power.

These things, which should be in conflict with each other, coexist in contradiction and unity in one person.

A person who has a mixture of angelic and demonic traits at the same time.

"Who are you?" asked him again in a whisper.

He opened his mouth slightly, and a muffled voice came out of his throat with difficulty: "Neon...... Rainbow ......"

"Neon?" the divine voice repeated.

He nodded vigorously again and again, and an innocent childlike smile appeared on his face in an instant, and his frustrated and eager face just now seemed to be lit up by this smile, looking handsome and gentle, and his divine voice could be seen.

Such a perfect and pure expression should not exist in this evil and strange world at all. He seemed to be excited because Shenyin had called his name correctly. His smile was undisguised, his white teeth were clear, his voice was hearty, and his eyes sparkled with a touching light.

- It was a long time later, when I recalled the excitement and tears on his face when I first called out his neon name in the snow and ice, and I realized that he was not because he called his name correctly, but because he thought I had finally "remembered" him.

- Yes, he got his memories back, but I didn't.

That's why he went out of his way to protect me, to fight for me, to shed his blood for me, but I didn't.

――But in the past, I would have fought side by side with him, but at that time, to be precise, it was not he who was "side by side" with me......

- At that time, I was like a monster, but only Neon would not be afraid of me or dislike me.

- Later, I finally looked normal, but I felt that I was becoming more and more like a real monster.

He stood up suddenly, turned around and jumped into the sea, and before Shenyin could react, he suddenly saw him come out of the sea wet, and the water droplets rolled down from his toned body like a sea god like a jewel, and he held a few sea urchins full of spikes in his hands, and a sea fish that was struggling in his mouth.

He ran to Shenyin, squatted down, threw the fish in front of Shenyin, and then vigorously broke the few black spiked sea urchins with his hands, and then held them and handed them to Shenyin, his dark and warm eyes flashed with anticipation and nervousness.

His hand was punctured by the sea urchin, and the blood flowed out and dripped into the sea, and Shenyin frowned and said, "Your hand is ......"

Neon grinned and shook his head, not at all painless, his hands still holding the sea urchin, his eyes looking at Shenyin with warm anticipation.

Shenyin's heart swelled with a hot spring-like emotion. She reached out her slender, white hand to take the black sea urchin from the neon's rough, blood-sparkling hand, she held it to her lips, lowered her head and sucked, the delicious taste sliding into her mouth. Only then did Shenyin realize that he was really a little hungry.

Neon laughed happily, with an excited and satisfied smile on his face, and he watched contentedly as Shenyin lowered his head and ate the sea urchin, and after eating one, he immediately smashed open another one and handed it to her. Like a shy boy who wants to give his best toys to his most beloved girl.

-- Just like us in the past, we at that time were frantically tortured by "fasting" and almost lost our minds. At that time, you were the same, guarding us who were dying of hunger.

After eating the sea urchin, Shenyin wanted to stand up and return to the shore, because the sea water in winter, the temperature is not pleasant, and it can barely support when it is not injured, and at this moment all the soul power in the body is used to regenerate and heal, so the resistance to the cold is very weak.

As soon as she tried to stand up, a sharp pain came from her abdomen. But for some reason, the pain is significantly less painful than before.

"Sure enough, it hasn't recovered yet...... Kamiyin frowned, and sat down in embarrassment as she sat back down in the water. As soon as she raised her head, a warm and strong breath approached in front of her, Neon reached out and picked up Shenyin from the water, and walked to the shore, he held Shenyin with one hand, and grabbed the ground with the other hand a few times, so several ice walls rose from the ground, and quickly built a small ice house around a sunken rock wall. He took Shenyin in and put it on the ground, and then he squatted next to Shenyin, looking at Shenyin with an inquiring eager gaze, he didn't speak, but his warm eyes seemed to ask, does this feel better?

"Well, it's much better, there's no wind anymore. Shenyin smiled and said to him.

He laughed happily too.

The gentleness between his eyebrows and the murderous aura that permeated his body had nothing to do with it, and this extremely strange opposition made him a mystery that was difficult to solve.

He raised his eyebrows suddenly, his eyes shining, as if he had suddenly thought of something, and turned and bent out of the ice room.

It didn't take long for him to get back in, this time, he was holding a piece of fur that had just been torn off the snow leopard's body, the hot blood stains were still steaming, he stretched out his finger and lightly touched the fur, so those slimy blood stains quickly condensed into ice, he raised his hand and shook it vigorously, and countless red ice ballasts fell down, so there was only a dry and clean fur left on his hand. He walked over to Shenyin, handed it to her, and then made a "draped" gesture at Shenyin.

Kazune wrapped her fur around her, and she looked back to see the smug and innocent expression on Neon's face, like a teenager showing off his treasure. Shenyin smiled softly, "Thank you." His calmness eased the tension that had just risen in her heart a little.

Why are you nervous?

As far as the eye could see, this island was lifeless, he was able to sense the existence of the snow leopard in such a short period of time, and at the same time he was able to hunt it in such a short period of time, and back and forth, his speed, his soul power perception, how terrifying it was.

Neon squatted in front of Shenyin and looked at her with a direct and hot gaze, but Shenyin was still shivering slightly with cold. So, he walked over, stretched out his long legs and sat down, picked up Shenyin and placed it between his legs, and spread his arms to hold Shenyin on his bare chest.

"You...... What do you want to do?" Shenyin's face turned red.

However, Neon didn't seem to hear it, and he quietly rested his head on Kakine's shoulders, his eyes closed, and his long thick eyelashes made him look like a sleeping child. He used the soul power of his whole body, and as countless golden rays of light flowed back and forth along the lines on his body, Shenyin gradually felt the warm air flow of the early summer sun, enveloping himself layer by layer.

She turned her face slightly, looked at the neon who was holding her with her eyes closed, and asked, "Do you not know how to speak?"

Neon raised his head and pursed the corners of his mouth, looking a little sad, his warm eyes were extremely clear, and there was a mixture of dazed and sad look in his pupils, he nodded lightly at Shenyin, and then put his head back on Shenyin's shoulder.

The hot soul power flowed from his naked chest.

Healed flesh, new skin.

The howling wind and snow outside the ice room.

-- Many years later, I often wonder if I could have stayed in that moment.

- So that I can stay quietly by your side, like an ordinary girl. And you, although you look like a killing demon, you are actually just an ordinary teenager.

――Then I won't become a real demon slayer.

- I won't hurt you.

――I'm sorry. (To be continued.) )
