Rongyue left.

It was a morning when the sky was as clear as autumn water.

It was a morning like usual.

The morning breeze blows on your body, making you feel very cool and comfortable.

That day was the second day after Xu Qiansu and Rongyue returned from Qingxu.

Xu Qiansu and Rongyue got on the tram and went to the coffee shop.

So far, there is no need for the two to go to the coffee shop...... But that's where Rongyue lives, so she naturally has a sense of affinity for the small coffee shop.

So the two of them went.

When she arrives at the coffee shop, Shiori squats in a white knitted sweater and squats in the doorway, watering three pots of flowers.

Under careful care, these three pots of flowers are growing very well...... Especially evening primrose.

Now that it is approaching its flowering season, it has already unfolded its bright flower bones, and it will probably be seen blooming in a few days.

Noticing the two of them, she raised her eyes, and then whistled lightly, "After the double trip, Gardelia didn't kill you...... Good luck, Xu Qiansu~"

Xu Qiansu hadn't spoken yet, but Rongyue refuted Shiori.

She said, "Although Miss Gadelia has a very bad temper, she is very gentle and understanding in front of Xiao Su. ”

Shiori blinked, then smiled briskly, stood up, shook the kettle gently, and spread her hands, "Yes~ Anyway, Gadelia and Marie dot on him~"

"Dodging is also too exaggerated." Xu Qiansu pushed open the glass door of the coffee shop, and the wind chimes behind the door made a crisp and soft sound.

Rong Yue held her hands behind her back and followed behind Xu Qiansu.

"Have you two had breakfast?" Shiori followed and walked in and asked.

"Ate at the Pokémon Center...... You haven't yet? Xu Qiansu glanced at her.

"I'm so hungry that this girl's C cup breasts are about to get smaller." Shiori replied.

Xu Qiansu rolled his eyes.

Rong Yue covered her mouth and chuckled, then rolled up her sleeves, tilted her chin, and said in a proud tone, "I'll go cook." ”

"You know how to cook?" Xu Qiansu tilted his head and asked curiously.

"You'll find out later." As she spoke, Rong Yue took out the white ribbon given to her by Xu Qiansu from her pocket, pulled the blonde hair behind her into a ball, revealing her snow-white slender neck, and then walked into the baking room.

There are only two people left in the coffee shop, Xu Qiansu and Shiori.

Xu Qiansu sat down behind the counter, then turned his head to look at Shiori and asked, "Is there no one at Yuanzhu Shrine?" ”

Shiori was slightly stunned, sat down opposite Xu Qiansu, supported the side face with one hand, and said without a trace, "Of course, I have always been a lonely person at Yuanzhu Shrine...... You don't want to get a job there. ”

Xu Qiansu said no more.

After a while, Rong Yue came from the baking room with two plates and put them on the counter, "Taste, this is the first time I've made breakfast for you!" ”

Rongyue's breakfast is actually an omelette, sliced bread, and milk.

"Hmm...... From a newcomer's point of view, this is really the least likely thing to go wrong. Shiori cut off a piece of fried egg with a knife and fork, put it in her lips, chewed it for a while, her apricot eyes lit up, and praised, "It's very good~ Rongyue." ”

"After all, it's me~" Rongyue smiled proudly, and then looked at Xu Qiansu.

"Even if it's unpalatable, I'll eat it all." Xu Qiansu picked up the fried egg with chopsticks and said in his mouth.

"Even if it's unpalatable, you have to say it's delicious." Rongyue said in an unquestionable tone...... It brought Xu Qiansu a little bit of Marie and Gardelia's feeling.

A display in the coffee shop is playing an animation...... A witch who appears to be a villain, chanting a spell, is casting a curse on the human knight who attacks her.

The animation of the melting moon was attracted to attention, tapped the corners of his lips, and then asked curiously, "Curse...... What is it? ”

"Huh?" Shiori chewed on the omelette and glanced sideways at the display before she realized why Rongyue asked like that.

She swallowed the omelette in her mouth, then stretched out a slender finger and gently circled in the air, casually explaining, "How? It takes magic to use it, but it feels like a curse is like a cancer, it is difficult to peel off, and it will stay with the cursed person forever until the cursed person dies...... All in all very ominous. ”

Rong Yuedai's eyebrows were slightly raised, but her interest rose.

She put her hands behind her back, looked at Xu Qiansu, smiled kindly, and said in an animated tone, "Xiaosu, I'm going to curse you." ”

"Really? You don't have magic, and you want to curse me? Xu Qiansu turned his head to look at Rong Yue, slightly stunned, and then said with a little disdain...... It's like the humans in the anime who beat up the witch.

But hearing this, Rong Yue stepped forward, kissed Xu Qiansu on the lips, and then took a few steps back briskly.

The moist and soft touch is fleeting.

Shiori rolled her eyes.

Rong Yue turned her head to look at Xu Qiansu and smiled shallowly, "This is my curse." ”

"This is the curse?"

"Yes." Rong Yue nodded thoughtfully, "It's like a whirlpool, entangled with you, like a spider's web, eroding you, making you want to break free for the rest of your life, and you can't escape until the end of your life...... It's like cancer, it's like air, so it's a curse......"

Xu Qiansu sat behind the counter, looked up at Rongyue, and looked at her.

Xu Qiansu's dark and divine eyes, as if carrying something else, made Rongyue feel a sense of shame that she couldn't help but say.

She reached out and tugged at her collar, then took a few steps back.

She retreated and said to Xu Qiansu, "I'll go change my clothes." ”

"Hmm."

"You're going to wait for me."

"Hmm."

"Xu Qiansu."

"Huh?"

Rongyue did not answer.

It wasn't until she retreated to the wooden staircase that she finally turned around, turned her back to Xu Qiansu, stepped on the stairs, and disappeared from Xu Qiansu's sight.

After a while, Xu Qiansu's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly put down and stood up.

Shiori, who was drinking milk, was taken aback by Xu Qiansu, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Qiansu didn't speak, he stepped up the stairs and walked up to the attic.

Shiori had to wipe the corners of her mouth and hurriedly followed.

When Shiori stepped into the attic, she found that Xu Qiansu was the only one in the room.

The clothes of the moon melter...... A white shirt, a crimson knitted sweater, and a long white skirt that has been folded and laid flat on the tatami mat.

Xu Qiansu stood in front of the small table, with his back to Shiori, motionless.

Shiori realized something, and her breathing couldn't help but get a little heavier, her heart pounded, and the blood seemed to be gushing up all over her body.

She stepped forward slowly, but she crossed Xu Qiansu and opened the bathroom door.

The bathroom was empty...... Previously, when Rongyue first came to the modern era, she was wearing Liliai's original clothes...... White dress.

But the white dress was dirty, so Rongyue kept hanging it in the bathroom after washing it...... Never worn.

Now, the white dress is gone.

Shiori's breathing became heavier and heavier, she turned around, looked at Xu Qiansu's back, and said a little incoherently, "K, Kreselia and Shi Rabi are not here, and it is impossible for Rongyue to suddenly exchange bodies like this...... This, there should be some misunderstanding in this, don't think about it......"

Xu Qiansu did not speak.

So Shiori had to step forward, stand behind him, and look down.

On the small table, the six tails lay there silently, and next to the six tails, there was a pair of text messages.

It reads.

[I guess you haven't seen me in my original form, so hand-painted it, don't dislike it.] 】

Next to the text message, there is a black and white portrait painting, uncolored.

With a hairstyle, kneel on a tatami mat and put your hands on your thighs...... A demure and elegant girl.

Seeing this painting, Shiori couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and then pursed her lips tightly, and finally spoke, her voice dry.

"Previously, when you left the Yuanzhu Shrine, Lilia came and held the rainbow feather...... We summoned the Phoenix King, but the Phoenix King couldn't do anything, and then she made a careful wish to the Phoenix King......

…… She made a wish, hoping that she could choose the time to leave...... King Feng replied at that time that he did not have the power of time and space, but he was willing to beg other legendary Pokémon to make Rongyue wait for a week......"

After that, Shiori withdrew her gaze from the painting and looked up at Xu Qiansu's side face.

Call.

The windows in the attic were wide open, and the refreshing morning breeze blew in and on the skin, which was very comfortable.

Shiori said, "So, Rongyue should have left...... Thoroughly ......"

Xu Qiansu didn't speak for a while, and after a while, he said in a flat tone, "Well, I guessed it a long time ago." ”

Rongyue left.

Just like that, suddenly, Xu Qiansu was not left with a chance to prepare, let alone said goodbye to Xu Qiansu...... Just like that, he left on his own.

Inside the attic, clean and tidy, no dust, as if no one had ever lived here.

Xu Qiansu pinched the portrait and walked out of the coffee shop alone.

Outside the store, pedestrians walk down the street.

The sun shines through the heavy clouds, cascading down...... The whole world is transparent.

The morning breeze gently blows through the fallen leaves on the ground.

The cherry blossom tree next to the café also swayed gently in the wind, and countless pale pink cherry blossoms flew around Xu Qiansu like flies.

In Xu Qiansu's heart, Creselia has not yet recovered...... Therefore, I subconsciously thought that it was impossible for Rongyue to leave at this moment.

But she just left.

Suddenly.

Xu Qiansu wanted to go to her.

So he took the portrait and asked the passers-by by chance, and he asked earnestly, "Have you ever seen this girl?" ”

The pedestrian was stopped by Xu Qiansu, stunned slightly, heard the words, and looked at the portrait in Xu Qiansu's hand again, a little surprised, "What a delicate and elegant girl, is it your girlfriend?" It must be very virtuous...... But I'm sorry, I haven't met this person. ”

Xu Qiansu didn't wait for him to finish, and left on his own.

He went to Miss Junsha again...... As a police officer, Miss Junsha should naturally ask her if she wants to find someone.

But Miss Junsha also said that she had never met this person, and she wanted Xu Qiansu to leave this girl's name, place of origin, height and weight and other characteristics.

But Xu Qiansu didn't listen to what she said as usual, just asked and left on his own.

Xu Qiansu wandered around Yuanzhu City for nearly two hours, and later he realized that it was impossible for him to find her in this city.

So he casually stepped on a bus and sat down in the penultimate row.

In this way, Xu Qiansu took the bus and left Yuanzhu City.

Where are you going? He didn't know.

It wasn't until the afternoon, after sitting on the bus for three hours, to the last stop of the bus, that Xu Qiansu stepped off the bus and looked up at it at the urging of the driver.

Here, where is it?

Xu Qiansu didn't know, but presumably, this was just an ordinary town in the Chengdu area.

He walked aimlessly through the town he had come to for the first time.

The pedestrians, the views, the architecture...... Xu Qiansu has no memory.

He just walked forward silently.

As the sun sets, the scarlet sunlight reflects the white clouds piled up in the sky into fiery red.

Xu Qiansu walked out of this unknown town, and then stepped into the forest in the night.

The forest at night is pitch black.

But Xu Qiansu had a firelight in front of him to illuminate the way forward, so he could see it clearly.

When he was tired, he sat down under the tree and leaned against the trunk.

The moonlight was tightly blocked by the trees, and Xu Qiansu was completely in the shadows.

Click, click, click.

A few pieces of wood were piled up in front of Xu Qiansu's body, and then a flame was lit with a click, turning into a bonfire.

Before he knew it, Xu Qiansu had fallen asleep.

As the sky dawned, Xu Qiansu opened his eyes, held his knee with one hand, and stood up silently...... He continued to walk forward.

Walking until noon, Xu Qiansu walked into an unknown town.

He was physically and mentally exhausted and hungry, so he went to a small shop on the street and bought two portions of bread...... But he only ate one.

Where did the other one go? Xu Qiansu didn't have any impression, but he didn't care.

After eating in this town, he found another hotel and took a big nap, until in the afternoon, Xu Qiansu got up again, continued to find a random direction, and walked silently.

And just like that, a week passed.

Halfway through, his mobile phone rang many times, but Xu Qiansu didn't hear it once, and gradually, his mobile phone stopped ringing...... It's completely out of power.

One night, Xu Qiansu walked through the forest to a lake.

In the center of the lake, a silver moon is reflected, and it is extremely bright.

Xu Qiansu only glanced at it, and then silently withdrew his gaze.

At this moment, he has an inexplicable resistance to the moon.

He wanted to cross this lake and keep going, forward, forward.

He walked on the slightly soft ground by the lake, and suddenly, his steps stopped.

He froze where he was.

It's not who you've seen, it's not what you've met...... His eyes were empty, but Xu Qiansu stopped moving forward.

Xu Qiansu stretched out his hand against his forehead, slowly bowed his waist, and scolded in his heart:

"Xu Qiansu, what are you doing?"

"Whether it's self-blame, sadness, or avoidance, it's okay to be yourself, and it doesn't matter what you do."

"But Shanaido, Creslia and they are still waiting for them in the Pokémon Center, and they haven't recovered from their injuries yet, what will they think when they hear the news of their disappearance?"

"Miss Mary and Gardelia are also still in Yuanzhu City, and leaving without saying a word will only hurt them."

"Xu Qiansu, no matter what happens, no matter what happens, I can't let you do this kind of thing that makes the Pokémon, Marie and Gadelia aggrieved."

"And Lilia...... Lilia knew everything from the beginning, and for that, she kept telling me from the time she was traveling with me to be strong and hope I recognized her...... As I hesitated, Lilia must have been so bitter that she blamed her for all the faults, and even thought that she had killed Rongyue. ”

Thinking of this, Xu Qiansu's heart felt a coldness, and then this coldness spread to his whole body.

Because when Xu Qiansu stepped on the bus leaving Yuanzhu City, he never thought about them.

Xu Qiansu's breathing was a little heavier, and after a while, he straightened up, lowered his eyes, and then was stunned.

At Xu Qiansu's leg, the six tails were looking up at him with a small face, worried.

The eyes of the six tails are so beautiful, bright and full of all the good things in the world, but at this moment, those beautiful eyes are so dim.

Xu Qiansu traveled all the way, never knowing that the six tails had been following him all the time.

He reached out and picked up the six tails, making eye contact with her.

The six tails were slightly stunned, and then the good-looking fox eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth hooked outward, and he stretched out his pink little tongue and licked Xu Qiansu's face, and then called softly.

"Woo~"

This is the first time Xu Qiansu has heard a voice from the outside world.

Xu Qiansu held the six tails in his arms and hugged her tightly, feeling the soft fur of the six tails and the warm body temperature, which seemed to dispel his cold.

He said, "Six-tails, I'm sorry...... I'm really sorry...... When I'm tossing and turning, having trouble sleeping, and being in pain, you're the same, right? ”

Six-tails looked sideways at Xu Qiansu's face, she had a thousand words in her heart that she wanted to say to Xu Qiansu, but at this moment, she couldn't say a word.

Xu Qiansu hugged the six tails and sat down on the ground.

The evening breeze blows, and the surface of the lake ripples with the wind.

"This week...... I'm really sorry...... I never knew you were following me......" Xu Qiansu said in a low voice.

"But every time you buy food, you'll buy me a ......," Rokuo said, but suddenly choked up and cried.

"Yes...... Xu Qiansu raised his eyes and looked at the wide lake...... He was still not impressed.

"Susu." The six tails called out to Xu Qiansu.

"Huh?" Xu Qiansu lowered his eyes.

"I, always know."

"What?"

"In the end, she will definitely leave again." The six tails looked up at Xu Qiansu and cried, "I have always stayed by her side, I know what she does, and I am very sure that two thousand years ago, it was she who saved me, not Liliai......"

"Hmm...... Six Tails, sorry to put you through this again...... And you have to be separated from her...... It's all my fault. Xu Qiansu buried his face in the neck of the six tails, stretched out his hand, stroked the head of the six tails, followed her soft big ears, stroked her waist all the way, and then withdrew his hand, and the cycle repeated.

Xu Qiansu's bland and gentle movements made the six tails feel a great grievance.

She finally couldn't hold back her tears.

The moonlight shines through the lake, reflecting the moonlight in all directions.

"I, I never told her that she would meet me in the future...... I didn't dare to say, every time I thought that she would definitely leave, my heart was sullen, as if it was blocked. ”

"Hmm."

"I really want her to stay with me."

"I know"

"If only she could stay with me."

"I understand."

"I don't want to go through this at all."

"Sorry......"

"But the last thing I want you to know is that she's going to leave." The six tails said, sniffling again, looking at Xu Qiansu.

"Huh?"

"I have seen the communication between her and King Feng, and I am afraid that you will ...... But you can surely guess that you are so smart, you are so sharp...... But you know everything, and you still get along with her as usual...... Every time I see it, I feel inexplicably sad. ”

"It's okay, it's sad or wronged...... I'm the same, no matter what, we're going to stay together, no matter what, I'm not going to die, I'm not going to leave you like she did. ”

"Really?" Six Tails asked relentlessly.

"Really, as wise and cunning as the moon in the sky...... It's that true. ”

Six Tails couldn't help but laugh.

She buried her little face in Xu Qiansu's neck, and she said, "Susu, I like you, just like you like you as she does, to the point that I can't do without you, to the point that I just want to look at you." ”

"Thank you for liking me."

"Susu."

"Huh?"

"I, I want to be with you forever, I, I will not leave you like her."

The six tails stretched out two paws and lay on Xu Qiansu's shoulders.

The evening breeze blows across the lake, carrying a little wetness.

Xu Qiansu replied, "Well, so am I." ”

Six Tails laughed.

Then, the blue and white light around her body flourished, and her originally petite and lovely body began to grow slowly.

When camping in winter, Rokuo can carry a Fire Stone with him.

In the city of Marina in the Sinnoh region, the power of the fireball slate in the body went viral, and a large explosion occurred around it...... That stone of fire, naturally, was not spared.

But the fire stone did not disappear because of this, but when the six tails crossed the space-time passage and went to Xicui, under the influence of the space-time turbulence, it sank into her body.

This didn't make the Six Tails evolve instantly, and the Fire Stone turned into a power that allowed the Six Tails to evolve, hidden in her body, day and night, waiting for an opportunity...... Even Miss Joy didn't find out

And now, that fire stone is working.

Xu Qiansu was slightly stunned, his arms relaxed a little, and seeing that in the blue and white light, the body of the six tails slowly became larger, and his weight was slowly getting heavier, until Xu Qiansu couldn't hold it anymore.

Syllable.

The blue light dissipated, and Xu Qiansu was pressed under him by a nine-tailed man with silver-white fur.

The general nine-tailed is golden.

The Nine-Tails in the Alola region are snow-white.

And the fur of this nine-tailed is between gold and snow-white, more like ...... The color of the moon.

A color as cold as the moon.

Nine-tails' two front paws pressed against Xu Qiansu's shoulders and looked down at him.

Xu Qiansu looked up, and behind the Nine-Tails, he could see a silver moon, which was faintly radiating outward.

He stretched out his hand, caressed the face of the Nine-Tails, and whispered, "Evolution...... No problem? Haven't you always been reluctant to evolve? ”

Nine-Tails' eyes were as gentle and clear as autumn water, she looked down at Xu Qiansu, and explained in a low voice,

"I'm different from her, I want to be strong, I want to be strong to live, because my life was saved by her...... I'm going to spend all my time with you......

…… In the past, I was always attached to your arms, so I was reluctant to evolve...... But I don't think so now, I have a duty to protect you, and therefore, I have to pay the price! I'm mentally prepared......"

Nine-Tails said, but tears kept falling and dripping on Xu Qiansu's face.

In the heart of the Nine-Tails, the melting moon is not an existence that can be mentioned casually.

Xu Qiansu stretched out his fingers, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of the nine-tails' eyes, and then reached out to hug the soft waist of the nine-tails, and with a slight force, he sat up, and then hugged the nine-tails and stood up.

Nine-Tails was slightly stunned.

Xu Qiansu weighed it lightly, and then showed a light smile towards the Nine-Tails, "Although I'm a little unaccustomed...... But I can still hold it. ”

Nine-tails looked up at Xu Qiansu, but cried again.

Since Nine-Tails woke up and became his Pokémon, Xu Qiansu had never seen her cry, but tonight, Nine-Tails was crying all the time.

Xu Qiansu leaned down and kissed Nine-Tails' face.

"Nine-Tails, thank you."

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"I'm sorry."

Nine-Tails let out a choked sob, and then said,

"Susu, we have to live strongly, there is nothing else to say...... Only to live strongly. ”

Whew————

The evening breeze continued to blow across the lake and then towards the forest.

The shadow of the moon in the middle of the lake set off some waves.
