But just then, he suddenly received a text message from Delphinium.

Russell and "Snow" stopped talking and laughing at the same time.

Russell, who was originally looking at the mirror and talking to himself, suddenly turned his attention to the information interface. And the container in the mirror disappeared at the same time.

But after seeing Delfinch's words, the container couldn't help but laugh in Russell's heart.

"Don't laugh at people......"

Russell couldn't help but cry out for the delphinium: "She's never sent a message to anyone outside of business." It's normal to be a little stiff. ”

I saw that the delphinium was a little nervous and said: [Have you slept? 】

He subconsciously exhaled the clock panel, and the time was 21:30.

“…… I haven't seen you sleep like such a baby, huh? ”

Russell couldn't help but complain.

The container leaned over: "I think she's jealous." Your gaze moves to Miss Bingshui's chest twice and your thighs once today. ”

"Nonsense, she's not the type with a small amount of equipment."

Russell replied without thinking: "It's just a moment...... It is the uncontrollable attraction of the gaze to the past. When I noticed it, I immediately politely looked away. You were able to notice that detail because you shared my memories.

"And the delphinch's figure is okay, I won't care too much about this kind of thing."

“…… Because she's been staring at you. ”

The vessel of the gods turned into ice water, reappeared behind Russell, clasped his hands on his chest and sighed, "If it weren't for you deliberately not using your abilities on her, you wouldn't have made such a basic mistake." ”

Russell's gaze was subconsciously drawn to the past again.

The container of the gods said angrily: "What, the kitten wants to step on the milk?"

"You can't touch me at all, what are you looking at? Go back to the message! ”

[Nope. 】

Russell replied, thought about it and added [Is there something wrong?] 】

[It's okay, just ask casually......]

Soon, Delphinium posted another Samoyed emoji.

[You have to get up early tomorrow morning, you go to bed early]

Russell replied: [Did you sleep so early today?]

Then he felt that this question was a bit dry, so he sent a meme of a cat probe.

"The conversation between the two of you is really full of stiff atmosphere of no words."

The Vessel of the Gods complained: "How can Delphinium be straighter than you." ”

"Long-winded!"

Russell became annoyed and waved his hand to dissipate the vessel of the gods.

[I'm still in the office]

And after the delphinium circled twice, it finally got to the point-

[I'm not saying to let you give up Miss Ice Water...... But I don't want anything to happen to you. You can protect Miss Icewater and clean up your office tomorrow, but it's best not to continue the investigation into the memory theft. That case is said to be related to the "Tower of Babel" and involves a "historical" investigation. It's a dragon's taboo, and even the board of directors can't protect you if something happens. But I'm not asking you to give up on this task right away...... I'm just saying, if something unexpected goes wrong, or if you discover something secret, at least let me know. If one more person knows the truth, everyone will be safer. Don't go it alone...... If you encounter a problem, whether it is me or the inferior will definitely help you. I'll help to the end. 】

Subsequently, she typed a large string of dense news in one breath, and even Russell was a little dizzy when she watched it.

But from that text, worry and tension overflowed directly.

Just looking at these words, Russell felt a kind of warmth.

That's when someone really cares about their warmth.

He couldn't help but smile gently, naturally.

"She does care about you."

"I know that."

Finally, under the repeated thoughts of the "vessel of God", Russell still gave the most serious answer to this matter: "I never doubt whether she likes me and cares about me......"

"And what exactly are you hesitating about?"

"I was really just worried about whether I was 'the most special person in her heart'. Because she's so gentle...... I was seduced by the gentleness and integrity, but when I really liked her, I was scared because of it.

"Because I'm not that upright. I also have a mask called 'The Godfather', and I have a different identity and position. I wonder if she'll see me that way when she knows all about me; I also have the identity of the Tower of Babel, the position against the dragon; I am a mage, and I am a mortal enemy of the Cyber Church; I also have the power of an angel, and I am feared and hated by other mages.

"I can be anybody, but at the same time I can't be completely anybody. There are my companions everywhere, but no one is exactly my companion.

"There's nothing more dangerous than walking side by side with the 'real me'...... Especially when you don't have that much strength and so many changeable positions. ”

Russell said softly: "Since I like her, I will like her with all my self." She may have 100% trust in Russell and Ultramarine, or she may be able to fall in love with him. But what about The Godfather, Holmes, Morgan, and Alice?

"Should I let go of my unapproved self, or should I let her fall in love with me like that?"

For the first time, he expressed his true worries and hesitations.

That's something you can't say and don't dare to say in the face of a bad day.

Only in the presence of the "other self" can I pour out such real fears and worries.

And the vessel of the gods was silent, saying nothing.

Just stood behind Russell in the mirror, with his hands on his chest and listening to him.

She didn't know when she became Alice, and her temperament became gentle.

But the news gave me a sense of ground.

"If I'm not 'the most special', I'm necessarily 'very special'. She was willing to give up her principles and her safety for my sake...... It gives me a lot of motivation. ”

"Power?" Container asked.

"At least, not to be the one she hates."

Russell stared at the phrase "I will help to the end" and replied word by word, "Although I still don't understand what I am." I don't know what kind of person I want to be or what kind of things I want to do.

"But I hope that what I've done will at least make her proud of me. Let her be able to say with certainty and openness, 'Russell is the right person.'" I hope my name doesn't become an insult to her...... I wish I could let her hold her head up and live under this sky as my lover without being persecuted in any way. ”

"Are you going to change the world?" The container asked softly.

"If it has to be."

Russell's eyes lit up with pale flames.

He looked at himself in the mirror and replied word by word, "I can do it." ”

"Heh," the container couldn't help laughing, "the opportunity for you to change this world is actually such a mundane thing as the love of children. ”

"That's not a child's relationship. It's 'hope and love'...... Coupled with the justice she upholds, that's what makes up all of a hero. ”

"Oh? Are you going to be a hero, Russell? ”

The voice of the vessel of the gods became muffled, gradually rumbling with a slight echo.

His body no longer had a clear image, but had become illusory, like a fluctuating mist—a resurgence of Russell's restraint on him.

Russell's blue-shift intensity has been silently increased by one level.

This also symbolizes that he has officially crossed the wall of the zodiac and has a traitized personality that surpasses mortals.

The brief silence is like ink, soaked and blurred in front of the mirror.

Russell paused and replied "thank you" to Delphich.

He typed in the line "I love you", then felt a little embarrassed and deleted it again and replaced it with "I like you".

Then I deleted it again and replaced it with "If you encounter such difficulties, I will definitely help you in this way".

[Well, good night.] 】

【Good night】

"What's so hard about being a hero? I may not be unable to make this sick world look different. ”

After sending the final message, the corners of Russell's mouth rose slightly: "It may be a little arrogant, but I think ...... I'm not really an ordinary person. ”

It was somewhat similar to the vessel of the gods, full of confident smiles.

At the same time, it is also a smile full of "desire".

"Let's go, my container. Let's go to the dream world. ”

Russell smiled heartily and happily: "I have a hunch...... We're going to have a great harvest tonight! ”
