Chapter 53: Probably, I like it very much
"What kind of person? I'm not a casual person, I'm old and young, and I still have a wife at home, I'll go back to warm the bed, you, you don't want to ** me!"
In the middle of the night, a woman suddenly appeared from behind me and said that she wanted to talk to herself about something...... Edward had always been clean, and even in the face of such a fragrant unfolding, he would flatly refuse.
"Edward, when are you getting married?" the woman asked in a milky voice.
"It's none of your business, I...... Eh, you're Angelina? I thought it was. Aren't you drunk, why did you wake up?"
Only then did Edward realize that it was a little girl standing behind him.
With short pink hair and small pointed tiger teeth, even though the moonlight was hazy and it was impossible to see her appearance, Edward still recognized her at a glance.
"Hmph, it's me, so a little wine, I won't get drunk without a breath!"
"Tsk, what qualifications do you have to say this when you slept like a dead pig just now. β
"You don't care!**, you just said, let me not ** you...... Hmph, you must be thinking about something nasty!"
"I didn't...... Tsk, speaking of obscenity, aren't you even more obscene when you don't sleep in the middle of the night to chat with me! Although I'm a beautiful boy, it's understandable that you'll be a nymphomaniac......"
"**, who, who would be a nymphomaniac, you ugly giant panda with dark eyes!"
"What did you say, little ghost, who's the panda?"
As soon as the two met, they were tense, and it was like a duel to the death.
"Humph!"
"Humph!"
After fighting for a long time, they almost woke up the sleeping orcs in the other tents, and then they stopped, and turned around and rushed at each other with **, and no one paid attention to anyone.
The night breeze was cool and pleasant, shuttling through the camp, and from time to time the curtain of the tent was lifted and the sound of crackling.
Looking at the white moon in the sky, Edward sighed.
Because of some trivial things quarreled, no one could convince anyone, and they reached a stalemate, silent with each other, but unwilling to leave, and finally had to snuggle under the same tree, look at the passing crowd in front of them, quietly wait for the dark time, and then, put down all the mustard, and go home side by side.
Although I changed the location and changed my companion, this feeling is really long gone......
Are you, Amilia, asleep now? Are you in trouble again?
"Hey, Edward, what are you thinking?"
Behind is Angelina's childish cute voice.
"Nothing...... I just remembered the past. Oh yes, don't you want to talk to me? Say whatever you want, just say it, I'm listening. β
"Hmm...... So, I'll just say?"
"Say it. β
"Edward, I ask you, you...... Scared?"
Under the pure white moonlight, the little girl's voice seemed to have a purifying power.
"Scared? Why?"
"Look...... If you're really from another world, and what you say is true, that means that in that world, Emilia is really dead, right?"
The slightly trembling voice is particularly pitiful.
"Probably, yes......"
"When you think about it, I'm so scared. I, who am in the same world, actually experienced Emilia's death firsthand...... What does it feel like to watch a good friend die or something?"
"Probably, it's painful. β
"yes, it's painful. However, if I can't change my past, shouldn't I be more miserable...... What did I do after that? Am I going to frantically seek out Emilia's killer and avenge her, or do I simply forget about her and live the rest of my life as usual?"
"Who knows. But if it were you, you would definitely find a way to avenge her. After all, you're still Angelina. Edward shrugged his shoulders, turned around, and gently touched Angelina's little head, despite the other party's resistance.
"What are you doing, **, don't touch me!"
"Huh. Edward expected it, and smiled and said, "You see, in this world you will scold me loudly, and in that world, you will also scold me, right? β
"Like that before?"
"Hmm. Risking your own life to attack me in the middle of the night and force me to tell the truth about the night of the Red Roseβthat kind of thing, no matter which world you are, you will definitely do it. β
"Hmph, that's right! No matter what world you're in, I'll definitely teach you a good lesson! Don't want me to apologize, hum!"
"Tsk, in the end, it wasn't the night that saved you, dead imp, otherwise you would have been burned to ashes by Sheila, and what is arrogant to this day. β
"I'm too lazy to quarrel with you......"
Angelina wanted to refute, but after hearing a complaint not far away, Angelina quickly covered her mouth.
It would be bad if you woke up those orcs.
Silence again.
"Now, Edward, I ask you......" Angelina whispered to break the silence and asked with her back to Edward.
"What?"
"Will me, that me, she, in the other world have the same thoughts as me?"
"Probably, yes......"
"Yes, that's right, after all, I'm still myself. A smile appeared on Angelina's face, "So, what about you?"
"Me?" Edward froze.
"Yes, you! What about you?"
"IβWhat's wrong with me? I'm myself, I've lost some of my memory, but I'm ......."
"Less nonsense, Edward, don't you understand?"
"What...... I don't understand. Edward shook his head.
Some questions didn't need to be asked, and Edward would think alone for countless silent nights.
"Edward, let me ask you a question, you are not allowed to lie!" Angelina squeezed his wrist to prevent him from escaping.
"Huh?"
"I ask you...... Do you like Emilia?"
β...... Huh? What do you say?"
"I'm asking you, do you like Emilia, do you like her now?" asked Angelina, pouting dissatisfied.
"I don't understand what you're talking about......
"Hey, Edward, don't pretend!" Angelina asked loudly in order to make Edward completely give up pretending to be stupid, "What does she mean to you? I mean, what does the Emilia of this world mean to you now?"
"What? yes, what does she mean to me?"
Edward smiled bitterly twice, touched Angelina's little head pityingly, and then looked at the sky and fell into deep thought.
He thought that as long as the cause of his amnesia was found, the story would continue, but he didn't expect that this was just the beginning of the story.
Losing their strength and in danger, they put aside their prejudices in order to fight a common enemy, and as partners, they rely on each other and trust each other, and then nurture an inseparable bond.
This is the script after Edward's amnesia.
Emilia is probably a companion to him now, so what does Emilia mean to him in another world before that?
At the risk of his life, at the cost of abandoning the whole world, Edward, who cast the magic of time, went back in time alone, to another world that was both familiar and strange.
That is, now.
Just to change history, just to change the world line, to change the fate of that person, he gambled his surname.
Now, he has only one goal in life.
[Protect her, this time]
"In that world, Emilia must be a very important and important presence to you. β
"Probably, yes......"
"Cunning fellows, you're obviously sworn enemies. I've heard that in the first few southern expeditions, Emilia almost killed you, and even this southern expedition, you failed to beat her and were captured by her. β
"yes......"
"Why? Why do you gamble your life for her? Could it be that you like her because you can't beat her and are bullied by her?
"Hehe, probably, right......"
I fell in love with her because I was captured? This kind of thing is impossible.
He was easily captured by Emilia because of his amnesia, and if it was in the original world, his Ninefold Demon King Marker was there, and he would definitely have a good fight with Amilia, in that case, it would be another story.
Edward would not have been captured by Emilia, would not have known her name, would not have seen her handsome, delicate face hidden under his helmet, and of course, would not have been a companion with her, nor would he have gone through the misguided farce with her.
In the original world, he is the king who leads thousands of demons, and she is a hero who represents justice and struggle, they are a demon king, a brave man, two sides of the coin, two parallel lines that never intersect, from the day of birth, it is destined to have no ending.
In such a cruel world, why would Edward be willing to gamble his life to save an enemy who is incompatible with him?
Or rather, Angelina guessed correctly. For him, Emilia is a very important person, and she is worthy of his life to protect.
If Emilia died, then there would be no point in living. Therefore, he can only choose to give up the original world and pray for change in the new world.
"It's not the Demon Fox Patriarch, nor the leader of the Anti-Demon King Alliance, as Amilia's only good friend, you should give me an explanation. β
"......" Edward silently.
"Hmph, useless fellow. Even if I asked you that, you wouldn't be able to give me an answer. Because you have amnesia, aren't you?" Angelina didn't continue to press, Angelina muttered to herself, and there seemed to be more envy in her tone, "What to say, it's really cunning, you guy." β
"Cunning?"
"yes, it's so cunning to sneak in from another world, carry a story I don't know, and snatch Emilia away from me or something!
"Hey, don't say like I'd love to, maybe I'm forced to do it too?, and I still can't believe I'm going to give up the world for her. It's weird, how could I like that kind of idiot who can't even be called a woman?"
"Really?" Angelina chuckled.
"Of course it's true, she's not beautiful, she has no brains, and her body is younger than a child, I'm a dignified demon king, how can I like her?"
"Well~~ Anyway, now, I can finally feel at ease. Angelina crossed her arms and staggered back to the tent, grinning, "Edward, my Emilia, I'll leave it to you." β
"Oh. β
"Cherish her, and protect her, Edward, and ...... my share" (To be continued.) )
