Chapter Twenty-Eight: Monthly Reading x Sprouting

As if in response to You Fei's voice, the cherry blossom branches swayed even more in the wind, but the person didn't sit on the tree as usual and smile at You Fei.

"Month reading, it's still a little bit, soon, I'll be able to hug you. You Fei clenched the cherry blossoms that fell in her hand until the petals did not return to their membrane shape.

Fifteen years ago, Mrs. Elric was about to give birth to the family's second child.

Mrs. Elric gave birth at night, and the night was eerily quiet, and there seemed to be no breath of life except for the screams of Lady Elric and the sound of servants walking and the sound of the midwife.

Wow wow cry, You Fei came like this, but with it was the death of Mrs. Elric, no heavy bleeding, not too weak, just quietly stopped breathing with You Fei's cry.

"Unknown...... Ominous child!" said the midwife.

"Shut up! No one is allowed to say anything about tonight! Madame died of hemorrhage due to unsatisfactory childbirth, and the rescue was ineffective. The head of the Elric family said.

The children of the Elric family can't be ominous and keep it a secret, whether it's unwilling to accept the fact or to keep the message from raging.

But that seems to be worse than ominous.

As You Fei's eyes opened, the obsidian-like eyes emitted a dark light, and the black hair that grew was faintly visible. This is the son of the devil. Legend has it that only demons have black hair and black eyes.

The demon plundered the body of the Elric family's youngest daughter. The news couldn't be suppressed, and You Fei was the son of the devil.

Fear is the attitude of almost everyone, but the Elric family cannot discard Youfei, and the inhabitants of the territory cannot ask for the fire of Youfei.

Because that's the devil. In addition to fearing demons, people are more in awe. Unlike devout belief and worship of God, surrender to demons is a permanence that flows out of fear. Legend has it that anyone who attempts to kill a demon will be cursed all over his body, and eventually die bleeding all over his body, and become a puppet slave of the demon after death. It is a motto that has been passed down for thousands of years, and has been believed by generations of people here, even if no one has ever seen the consequences of being cursed.

The Elric family had no choice but to keep Youfei free, fearing her presence and having to let her grow freely until the demon himself left. Demons without inheritance are harmless, which is why the inhabitants can tolerate such a terrifying existence around them.

You Fei grew up in such an environment where he was forgotten by his father and ignored by the residents. She knew that she was different from others, that everyone else hated or feared her, except for her brother, whom she had never met, she couldn't understand, she lived like a puppet.

Later, she learned the word demon, and they said, she was the son of the devil.

You Fei is not without feelings, she is young and longs for someone to play with, but all she can face is children of the same age standing far away, cursing at her, throwing stones, although not a single stone will fall on her, all of them will fall at her feet, hitting the soft dirt and flying on her.

You Fei cried, even if she had been growing up in the cold, she couldn't get used to the feeling of loneliness, not to mention that she was only 4.5 years old.

She said to them, "I'm not a demon, can we play together?" ”

In response to her were the children who stood farther away and more stones,

"Demons are demons! Son of the Devil! Stay away from us! Get out of here!"

You Fei will not leave Elric's house, she will not be able to survive without here, this is the only protection she knows about herself. You Fei stayed in the back mountain as much as possible except for eating, because here she didn't have to hear others call her the son of the devil. No one usually comes here, even though it's beautiful. You Fei found her own garden.

You Fei leaned against the only tree in the large field of flowers every day, listening to the birdsong, looking at the books she asked for from Su Yu, this was the only thing she could do to pass the time, she didn't know how long she needed to live like this.

Until one day,

"You've been here for a long time, little one. The young man on the cherry blossom tree, with black hair and black eyes, was dressed in an ivory-white robe, with intricate patterns faintly outlined on it, and said to You Fei with a warm smile on his delicate face.

You Fei's eyes widened in disbelief and looked at this wonderful and incredible person who suddenly appeared: "Are you a demon?" ”

"Tsukiyo, that's my name. The boy in the tree still smiled softly. almost let You Fei let down all his guards and wanted to indulge in this warmth.

"Why are you here, aren't you a demon? Little You Scarlet asked in a milky voice.

"You haven't told me your name yet, rude. ”

"You Fei, the name given by my brother. Aren't you afraid of me? ”

Yue Yu looked at You Fei's slightly tangled expression and laughed: "I'm not a demon, I just don't know when to parasitize on the non-existent thing on the cherry blossom tree in this class, the only thing I know is my name and myself." No one should have sensed me, but I always felt that you knew I existed, so I tried to talk to you. ”

"They all say that I am a son of the devil, and they don't contact me, and you are the first person to take the initiative to speak to me, do you want to be friends with me. You Fei asked cautiously.

"If I didn't want to, I wouldn't be in front of you. You Fei felt that Yue Yu was the person with the best smile she had ever seen.

"Then can I touch you?" You Fei wanted to get closer to Yueyu.

Yue Yu hesitated for a moment and stretched out his hand to You Fei. You Fei excitedly put her hand on it, and passed through Yueyu's slender fingers without resistance, as if there was nothing there in the first place.

You Fei was stunned, and his hand was not withdrawn. Yue Yu lowered his eyelids and smiled helplessly, "I am a nothing, no substance, it is a miracle that you can see me." ”

You Fei lowered his head in frustration: "Then can you stay with me all the time, I have always been alone, can you not leave me." ”

"Until the moment I disappeared, I was always by your side. Yueyu made a promise to You Fei like a knight's oath.

In order to get closer to Yueyu, You Fei told Su Yu that she wanted to live at the foot of the back mountain, and soon a two-story wooden house was refined, and You Fei could see the cherry blossom tree through the window.

Since Yueyu can't leave the cherry blossom tree, You Fei leans under the tree to chat with Reading, or read books to study, sometimes falling asleep in Yueyue's gentle words and warm breeze, and the flowers around her gently touch the hem of her skirt, everything is quiet and beautiful. Even if they can't reach each other.

Day after day, You Fei stayed with Yueyu, and the little milk baby had begun to grow slenderly, retreating from the immaturity and having the appearance of a girl. And Yue Yu, just like when they first met, did not change in the slightest, which still made You Fei unable to take his eyes off.

An unknown seed began to grow in the bottom of my heart, so that all feelings were brushed with a layer of greenness, and the girl's throbbing stopped telling all the time, I really want to be together forever, if I can, I want to hug you.

Once again, the days of tranquility were shattered. The cherry blossom trees that are gorgeous in all seasons began to shed petals, and Tsukiyomi's face began to grow paler and her body began to become transparent.

"What's wrong with you, don't scare me, okay. You Fei was very worried, she had a bad premonition, she was afraid that she would never see Yue Yu again.

"I'm sorry, Youfei, it seems that the life of the cherry blossom tree is coming to an end, and I may be going to disappear too. Don't worry, I'll be with you until the moment of death. "The promise is the same.

You Fei began to panic, she was afraid that Yueyu would leave her alone, Yueyu had already become an obsession in her heart, that love had long been ingrained, and she said to Yueyu for the first time: "No, I like you so much, how can you leave me!"

Yueyu looked at the crying You Fei, and felt an unprecedented shock in his heart, he couldn't help but stretch out his arms, wanting to hug the crying girl into his arms, but the contact that could never be realized, Yueyu passed through You Fei behind her, and couldn't catch anything.

You Fei stopped crying, and he and Yueyu were silent back to back, looking at the cherry blossom trees that were losing their lives quickly, and they couldn't even do a simple hug.

After that, You Fei desperately searched for a way to let Yue Yu stay, and asked Su Yu to find a way to bring her all kinds of law-level and even saint-level alchemy spells, without any relevant records. So You Fei began to study the forbidden technique.

It was an evil alchemy that was supposed to be sealed, and its alchemists could use it to reach a power beyond the holy level, which was said to be the power of demons. However, the cost of the forbidden art is too huge, and the magic array is huge, the spell is difficult, and there are only a handful of alchemists who can complete the forbidden art, and the success rate is extremely low, and it will be eaten back if you are not careful. What's more, once the fluctuations of the implementation exceed the sixth-order technique, it will often be interrupted by the people of the temple before the alchemy is completed, so even if you have the heart, you can't do anything about it. Therefore, even if it is called taboo, it is easy to find relevant records, and most of these are circulated in ordinary folk as legends.

Postage finally found what she was looking for. [The beginning of Eve] - to transform what she wishes into reality, as long as she has this, she can always be with Tsukiyomi.

Even if the price was so cruel, Tsukiyo was all she had, her only wish, and for that reason she would rather let the name of the devil be in her bones and bear all the original sins. Even if baptized in blood.

You Fei's time is running out, the cherry blossom trees have begun to wither, and she can't see Tsukiyomi at all, but sometimes she can hear Tsukiyomi's weak voice confirming his existence. Su Yu's arrival made her decide to implement the plan in advance.
