Chapter 6: Memories of Snow
"Let go of me, let go of me!"
In the empty corridor, there was a little girl's mournful scream.
"You little devil, stop arguing!
"I—I'll bite you pervert!"
The emaciated little girl rushed at the wicked villain, trying to bite his neck with her small baby teeth, which were not sharp.
"Hmph, don't underestimate me, the same trick won't work for me the second time!" the man wittily dodged and said proudly.
"Perverted, I, hmm...... Not...... Hmmm......"
The little girl tried to continue the attack, but her mouth was tightly gagged by the big villain's hand, and she couldn't speak, let alone open her mouth to bite.
The big bad guy ran and ran with the little girl in his arms, ran through the empty playground, crossed the snow-covered path, and finally, they reached a deserted corner.
Good will eventually triumph over evil, and the little girl, a symbol of beauty and hope, will always defeat the evil big bad at the last moment.
That kind of story is called a fairy tale. Fairy tales, however, do not exist.
Hoag House, somewhere on campus.
Edward showed no pity for the jade, and threw Shira out of his arms like garbage.
The petite Shera fluttered lightly, like a thin piece of paper, and flew out with Edward's force, drawing a beautiful parabola in mid-air, and finally landed on the snowdrift.
Burst...... The little girl fell into a snowdrift and fell into the dust.
"Whew, I'm tired. Edward grumbled with a frown.
"Damn, you—how could you do such rudeness to me, you pervert!" said Sheila, poking her head out of the snowdrift.
Fortunately, her robe wrapped around her small body, otherwise, she would have suffered.
The white snow stuck to her long, equally white hair, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't even tell which grain was snow and which strand was hair.
The snowy winter is just as silver, and Edward's hair is as white. Surprisingly, Sheila and Edward, both of them have the same silver-white hair color.
"I'm not a pervert. Edward shook his finger and said solemnly.
"Liar! You big pervert!" "Sheila was indignant, pointing at Edward's nose and scolding, "Sure enough, what my mother said is right, you are not greedy enough, you want everything, but you don't want to give up anything, you are a lazy pervert!"
"Tsk......" Edward pondered for a long time, and then said slowly, "but ...... You're right, I'm greedy. Who's your mother? She seems to know me very well. ”
"Hmm...... I—I'm not going to tell you, you big pervert!"
"Cut, what's the matter? I don't want to know yet. Edward grimaced.
"Phew...... Big metamorphosis. Not to be outdone, Sheila pulled down her eyelids and returned an ugly expression.
If you don't know their identities, who would have guessed that this is a conversation between two people standing at the pinnacle of the God-given land and even the entire continent?
One day, bathed in the cold winter, the king of the demon clan and the Holy Ming Pope actually scolded each other in a no-man's corner, and made stinky faces to each other...... Hey, make a mistake!
Edward took a deep breath.
He suddenly realizes that now is not the time to have fun, and although he has successfully "kidnapped" Sheila so far, his crisis is far from over.
There were three paths before him. Run away. Lie, silence.
He was reluctant to escape, he couldn't afford to kill him, and he couldn't lie? Xuera could read all his thoughts, and it was simply whimsical to try to deceive Xuela.
So, he chose the fourth path.
"The fourth way, take me with you. Staring into Edward's eyes, Sheila said leisurely, "In this way, any ambush will be useless, and with me as a hostage, you can get temporary safety." ”
"That's right......" Edward was not surprised by Sheila's mind reading.
"Moreover, taking me hostage will attract the attention of my companions and allow possible enemies to take care of them. They will definitely come to protect me and find a way to get me out of your hands. ”
“......”
"During this time, your companion who remains in the room will surely be able to detect the anomaly and react. What a perfect plan, not only to kill me, but also to protect your companions, worthy of you. Shera smoothed her long, unkempt hair, flicked off the snowflakes that stuck to it, and smiled.
"It'......s me," Edward thoughtfully said.
"Ah, worthy of you, you greedy pervert!" Sheila accentuated, "you sacrificed yourself for the sake of your so-called best of both worlds!"
"Do I have one?" asked Edward weakly.
"Have you ever thought about it? Even if your companions detect something abnormal, they won't be able to save you! Even if you take me hostage, you're likely to be killed by the enemy! Have you ever thought about it? No, you don't!"
"Uh...... It's a terrible feeling that someone knows me better than I do. Edward scratched his head in embarrassment.
Indeed, he didn't think that much.
"Hmph, greedy pervert, self-righteous fool, it's disappointing that you're such a guy. Sheila pouted, "If I had known, I wouldn't have come." ”
"Hey, little Pope, what the hell do you want to do, and why do you know me?" asked Edward, pouting.
"Did I say I was the Pope?" asked Sheila innocently.
Not the Pope?
"But, you—...... you," Edward asked in surprise.
"That's right, my name is Shela. But what does it matter? I can also say that my name is Emilia. My name is up to me!"
"Hey, little ghost, give me a normal ......"
"Actually, I'm just a child, you don't have to be afraid of me, hehe. At last, Sheila laughed happily, and her smile showed a cunning that had succeeded in her prank.
"What...... You're kidding me?"
"Hehe, I'm just kidding you, what's the matter?"
"You little ghost, believe it or not, I'm going to strangle you right now?"
"Hmph, you pervert, try it if you can! See if I don't bite you to death!" Shira threatened with her teeth.
"Tsk...... Why do you like to bite so much, you kid? Who taught you?"
"Hmph, it's my mother! My mother said that to deal with those self-righteous and greedy perverts, they must all be bitten to death!"
"Who is your mother? let her come to me, I'm going to strangle her!"
"Perverted, don't insult my mother!"
I don't know when it started, and the two of them started an inexplicable quarrel again.
This scene is familiar, many times, at any time, Edward and the idiot will be inexplicably arguing over a trivial matter.
It's the same trivial matter, it's the same quarrel that can't be laughed at, the venue has changed, the background has changed, and the object has changed.
With silver hair like snow, red eyes, ice muscles and jade bones, and weakness, the cute little girl in a strange robe in front of her is so pitiful.
In fact, Edward did not sacrifice himself, he just followed his true heart and made a natural judgment.
He couldn't bear to kill this little girl, and similarly, subconsciously, he didn't believe that the other party would kill him.
Even if the other party exuded a powerful divine aura all over his body, even if the other party could see through the darkness hidden in the deepest part of his soul, unexpectedly, he did not feel the slightest hostility on Xuela's body.
Obviously, the other party is his deadliest enemy, the Holy Ming Pope, but he doesn't feel afraid, but instead talks and laughs with Xuela, which is really strange......
"I should go......" When she said this, Sheila looked very lonely.
"Huh?" Edward was still confused.
"If the perfect score is 10, Edward...... I can only give you a six. Sheila shook her head regretfully.
"Hey, why do you want to rate me......"
"You don't remember anything, do you? Hehe, the amnesiac guy is really pitiful. Sheila gloated, "Memory is evidence of a person's existence, and if you lose your memory, what is the point of living?"
"Absolutely. ”
Another self hidden in Edward's mind taught him the meaning of life.
[Protect her, this time]
"Hehe, protect her?"
"Tsk, it should be very rude to read minds without regard to other people's feelings, right?" Edward grumbled dissatisfiedly.
"It doesn't matter, because it's you, so ...... It doesn't matter. ”
"Huh, what are you talking about?"
"Come on, Edward, I hope you can do it this time. Well, protect, she ......" Sheila's voice choked a little, "Edward, I'm leaving?"
"Huh?"
"I said, I'm leaving!" said Shera coquettishly.
"Ah, goodbye......"
"Well, goodbye. Sheila lowered her head to keep Edward from spotting her red face, "That, Edward?"
"What?"
"Can you touch my head?" said Shira, in a whisper.
“...... Good. ”
At this moment, Edward seemed to be enchanted, and did not even ask why, but simply wanted to meet Shera's request.
He stretched out his hand in a daze and gently placed it on Xuela's head, with infinite tenderness in his eyes.
"Thank you......" Shera's voice was inaudible.
“......”
"Come on, Edward, don't give up. I've been watching you all the time. ”
“......”
"Go protect her. Don't let me down......"
“......”
Shera's voice grew quieter and quieter, and finally, disappeared completely.
The little furry head under Edward's palm disappeared with it.
When I opened my eyes, the silver-white snowflakes were swept up by the wind and fell with the wind, scattering sadness all over the ground. The little girl didn't seem to belong to this world, she came quietly and walked quietly, born from the snow, naturally, and returned to the winter snow.
Perhaps, she didn't exist at all, she was just Edward's wishful thinking.
"Don't give up...... Really, you little ghost, I don't want to be taught a lesson by you. ”
The cold air in his palms made Edward sad.
If it were again, he would definitely use double his tenderness, with his unreliable palm, to help the girl drive away the winter cold as much as possible.
Sheila, gone.
