Chapter 14: Adagio, Brilliant Harmony

Mengxia, Initial

"Night!" exclaimed Edward.

"Master, what's wrong with you lately?" Ye asked with a frown, puzzled, "You can fall asleep while standing, and you have nightmares, is your brain completely broken?"

"I'm ......" Edward shook his head, keeping himself awake.

Not again!

Exactly the same dialogue, every character, not even every syllable.

How long will it take for this damn nightmare to end?

"Master, what are you looking at?" Night stared at Edward curiously.

She noticed that Edward's eyes fell on a delicate little plaything in her arms.

"This, this is a pocket watch. It's ......"

"I know, I know it......"

"What?"

"Night, do you remember my promise to you?" said Edward, holding his forehead with one hand, and laughed coolly.

From the perspective of the night, she could only see Edward's ugly panda eyes, but she could not see the bitterness and sadness in those eyes.

"You said ......"

"Ah, that's right. Night, I said, you have been my maid all your life, and I will not allow you to leave me, not a single step, not half a step!"

“...... Master, it's early in the morning, even if you want to talk nonsense, can you please talk about it in the evening?" Night looked at Edward with disgust, and quietly took two steps back, closing the distance between him and him.

What a shame to stand with such a strange host.

"I said that, right?" asked Edward, cheekily.

"That's right. You did say that. Night shrugged disappreciatively.

"But you don't seem to believe me. Edward shook his head, lowered his head, and said in a calm voice, "You think it's just my joke, or my perfunctory, don't you?"

"Oh, yes? You said it yourself, and it has nothing to do with the night. ”

"Huh. So what do you think. My promise to you is perfunctory. Or is it a joke?"

"It's both. Ye said expressionlessly.

"Hahaha, I knew, I knew, hahahaha. Edward covered his eyes. Laugh.

"The hosts. Is your brain broken?"

"That's not perfunctory. Not a joke, I'll prove it to you, Night. Absolutely, I absolutely ......"

"Oh, yes. ”

Not knowing what to say to calm down the insane Edward, Night pursed his lips and dismissed his unrealistic thoughts.

Although he couldn't understand his gibberish, Night seemed to be able to feel his mood at the moment.

This man is proving to himself with his actions that he will not break his promise.

"Well, host, the night is looking forward to your performance. Ye smiled politely, and her charming face was as bright as a summer flower.

"Night ......"

"What are you doing?" Suddenly, a voice interrupted their conversation.

"No, nothing ......"

"Well, let's go. Emilia glanced at Edward nonchalantly, then checked her weapons and equipment, and after confirming that everything was in place, she prepared to leave immediately.

Her target is the Black Flame Gang.

"Wait......"

"What's wrong?"

"It's just...... Wait a minute. Edward stopped Amelia, but didn't know what to do next.

All in all, he can't just watch the tragedy happen, he has to do something!

"We're not going. ”

"Huh, why aren't you?" Emilia looked at Edward dissatisfied, "You, scared?"

"That's right, I'm scared, I'm a coward, you can say whatever you want, all in all, we're not going!"

"......" Emilia was silent.

At this moment, facing the restless Edward, she seemed to be able to feel the heartfelt and intense fear.

And the source of that fear turned out to be himself.

"Edward?" Emilia asked quietly.

"What?"

"I, I'm ......" Biting her lip and glancing at the night, Emilia asked tentatively, "I, am I in trouble again?"

"Huh?"

She, why would she know? In this world, she should not know anything!

"No? Okay. Emilia smuggles her mouth shut.

"Emilia ......"

That must be their own delusion, it must be!

"We're not going, Amilia, and the night, you two come with me to Kane's house, and we'll drink and eat ice cream at his house, understand?"

"......" Emilia was noncommittal.

"So, let's go!"

===============

Hiding in Kane's house, Edward curled up on the couch, holding Night's hand, like a child with a cold, every second was a great torture for him.

This time, there is no room for error.

The Black Flame Gang or something, to hell with them. If you know that Idir is in ambush over there, why do you rush over stupidly?

It would be nice for Kane and Angelina to deal with Idir, so that Night would not be able to die.

At this moment, her hand is being held tightly by him, and it will never be possible to part anytime or anywhere.

Tick, tick......

A familiar voice came, and Edward knew it was the sound of time passing.

Tick, tick.

"Master, it's late, do you need to cook something for you at night?"

"No, night, you can't go anywhere today!"

"Why?"

"There's no why, all in all, you keep me honestly here!"

“......”

"I, I...... I'm sorry, but I shouldn't be angry at you. Taking a deep breath, Edward forced a smile, "Night, I'll tell you everything after that, but for now, please do what I say, okay?"

"Understood. ”

Night didn't say much. The obedient snuggled into Edward's arms, quietly waiting for an ending she didn't know.

"Edward, what the hell is going on, are we going to stay here at such a late hour?" asked Emilia impatiently.

"Already, late?" Edward asked, dumbfounded, staring blankly at the dim view outside.

"I have a pocket watch at night, so I know what time it is. Pulling out the pocket watch that Sheila had given her, Nightboy looked at it carefully. A look of confusion.

"What, what's wrong?" Edward suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

"Strange. Why did the pocket watch stop at night?"

Tick, tick...... Clang!

Time, freeze in this moment.

"Y-What are you talking about? Pocket watch, stopped?"

Hear the words of the night. Edward's head thudded. After and chills. Numbness in the limbs. The hands stopped turning, and time stopped passing, so. This world is coming to an end.

Why, why? Did I do something wrong again this time?

"Emilia the Brave, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

In the darkness, a vague figure gradually appeared in front of them. Dressed in a black robe, he took off his hood and walked straight up to Emilia, even though he didn't have any weapons in his hands.

"Y-you?" said Emilia in surprise, "Idil?"

"Hehe, don't you want to ask me why I'm standing here, or do you already know it?" Idir shrugged his shoulders indifferently, not admitting himself, "The Gate of Original Sin, that's the name, right? ”

Idir smug himself about what he said, Edward didn't want to hear it at all.

Why, why are you here?

"Kane, Angelina, you guys...... Oops!" Edward was almost going mad.

He hid in Kane's house with the night and handed over all the affairs of the Black Flame Gang to Kane, but he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to come to the door.

By now, even the only reinforcements could no longer be counted on, and Edward's spirit was almost broken.

Familiar dialogue, familiar unfolding, he knew exactly what was coming.

"Take them away. Idil commanded calmly, "In the prophecy, the two of them are the key to changing the future, as long as we catch them, we can avoid disaster!"

"Yes!"

"No, no......" Edward muttered quietly.

"Oh yes, that woman?"

The beautiful woman standing beside Edward caught Idir's attention.

He glanced at the night faintly, and whispered to himself: "Night, human, female, space magician, and...... Half of the demon blood? strange, really strange. Whatever, though. ”

"No, no, no, please, don't ...... like that"

"I'm sorry, but she didn't appear in the prophecy, her presence has no impact on the future, and it has no meaning. So ......" Idir said slowly as he walked to Night's side, gently lifted her chin, and said with a sad expression.

"No, no, no!"

"Sorry......"

"Bastard, I said no! Something's coming at me, come, kill me!" Edward rushed over desperately.

But......

Burst!

"No !!!"

The sharp sword pierced through Night's chest, slicing through her skin, breaking her ribs, and finally, piercing her chest completely.

Different scenes, same endings. ,

"Why, God of Light, why are you playing with me like this?" Edward's voice was hoarse and he couldn't stop crying, "What the hell am I doing wrong, please tell me?"

Even if he screamed in his throat, the girl in his arms remained unmoved.

For the dead cannot hear.

"This doesn't make sense, this doesn't make sense! What the hell did I do wrong? Tell me, you tell me!"

Pain, sorrow, and in the end, all turn into monstrous resentment.

Damn fate, damn the world.

Let such a world disappear!

"Bastards, you bastards!"

"Edward, what are you doing...... Ahh

Emilia blocked a hidden arrow for Edward, but she was slashed in the ribs.

"The sword...... What? That's, the Sword of Calamity?"

The mediocre black long sword actually exuded a formidable aura at this moment. A faint black mist, swirling around the long blades of the sword, the gloomy black engulfing the only remaining light in the room, returning everything to chaos.

"No matter how many times I do it all over again, I will, I will ......" (to be continued......)
