"It's about a nine-hour drive from Shuanglin to the nearest town of Ohm, and we had to get there as early as possible because we didn't think about camping in the wilderness in the first place. In this way, you can try to reach your destination before dark. Durham explained to the people in the carriage.

"Hey, do we have to stay in this broken car for that long?" Kaos said, biting down on his bread.

"We've just walked less than one-third of the way, either you go back by yourself now, or shut up!" Duren's words almost choked Kaos.

"Ai Xue, eat more, drink some water, don't choke. ”

"People don't eat much, brother, it's you who should eat more. ”

The fierce moon in the west is about to disappear into the distant horizon, replaced by the rising sun in the east.

[Is it already daytime?] Only Zero doesn't need to get up early, anyway, no matter where she goes, Ai Xue will take him (her?).

The breeze is blowing, and the morning sun stretches the shadows of the travelers for a long time. A horse-drawn carriage walked alone on the path, surrounded by endless wilderness and grasslands, and sparse villages in the distance.

"Come and listen to Young Master Ben sing a song, in normal times, you ordinary people don't have this blessing. ”

With that, Kaos went about singing the ballads of the taverns that were popular with the traveling merchants.

[I didn't expect this guy to not only have a glamorous appearance, but also a hand in singing] Zero's opinion of Kaos has changed a little.

After singing a few songs in a row, Kaos finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"I've sung so much, it's your turn, right?"

"I'm not interested in this stuff. Duren still stared motionlessly into the distance.

"Boy, you have one too. ”

"I ...... No. Ike was a little embarrassed.

"Let me do it. Ai Xue relieved his brother who was imperfect.

"Since it's a song sung during the trip, this one is good. ”

Ai Xue cleared her throat, closed her eyes, and sang softly:

Put this loneliness in your backpack and go on a journey alone

Where will the road lead in a strange country?

Dance with this bundle of wheat and follow the footsteps of the wind

I didn't stop in the way of Chao and Twilight towards you

Travelers will confide in who they will talk to when they recite unfamiliar songs

But you are by my side to guard the desolation of this world

Will there be your greetings at the end of the road to the entrance of dreams?

A smile is enough to be considered a mirage

The bell of dawn dreams in the north and the time rushes

Didn't stay

No one can understand the sorrow of the night, but please hold my hand

......

[Embark on a journey alone, and where will I go......]

It seemed that the sky and the earth were silent, and the horses snorted crisply, and at this moment, everyone's hearts were filled with the loneliness of the traveler.

A tear ran down the corner of Ike's eye. This is a ballad sung by my mother before, and my brother and sister didn't know what it was like to part.

Duren remained unmoved, but his thoughts drifted somewhere. And the coachman was already in tears.

"Why have I never heard such a beautiful ballad!" Kaos was so annoyed that he rushed to Ai Xue's side in two steps, trying to grab her by the collar.

"Kaos, let go of my sister, or don't blame me for being rude. Ike hurriedly slapped Kaos's hand away.

"Cut, I don't like washboards, if it's really interesting to her, I've been doing it in the tavern since then. Kaos realized his gaffe, but he still didn't forget to say two words of irony.

"That's the song my mom used to sing to us. ”

In ......the past two years, Ike has never heard Ai Xue sing a song, but I didn't expect her to remember it so clearly. I'm afraid that Ai Xue's suppressed feelings in the past two years are deeper than what she has hidden.

In the future, we will always walk together, even if it is to the end of the continent......

The conversation between the siblings was interrupted by someone.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but the song you're singing is really good. Those guys, what do you say This is the most popular ballad outside, I was fooled, and I will definitely not be able to spare them if I touch them again! Since it is rare for a common person to surpass Young Master Ben in some way, haha, let's sing two more songs. Kaos put on a stinking look again.

[Maybe it's because I'm overthinking, although Kaos looks like no one in his eyes, he is unkempt. But in fact, to put it bluntly, it's just a bit of a middle two, the son of a rural nobleman, it is estimated that most of them are like this, and it is probably not bad in essence.

Zero began to think about himself again.

[It's not a way to hide like this during the day, but what should I do? I can hide for a while, but I can't hide for a lifetime. Maybe I should find a chance to stand up.]

After Ai Xue was tired, Kaos came to his senses again. The boring journey ended with the singing.

......

Ohm Town is also just an ordinary agricultural town, where you can sleep peacefully and let the horses rest after a tiring day, and the rest is only food supplies. Unlike Shuanglin, due to its proximity to the industrial city of Kassel, there are often thieves in the vicinity, specializing in robbing traveling merchants with little strength, and few people walk at night without an escort. This was also a big reason why Baron Lawrence let the carriage leave early.

[At 6:10, it seems that the driver is also quite experienced, only 10 minutes compared to a 9-hour drive, there is basically no error]

After booking two double rooms in the town's only inn, Durham took Ike and prepared to buy some food. Once in Kassel, the group no longer has to travel long distances. For this, two days of food is enough for the next 36-hour journey.

"Zero, my first time living outside and feeling so nervous. Ai Xue was lying on the bed alone, holding a moon timepiece in her hand.

"It's good to get used to it, there's still a long road ahead, didn't you make an agreement with Ike?"

"Well, I have to get stronger. Ai Xue looked at the double moon outside the window, and her eyes stopped on the pink full moon.

"You say, why does the fierce moon over there have such a sad name when it is obviously a beautiful thing?"

"Probably because the blue one is called Ning Yue, don't all troubadours like to do this? The moon is emotionless, and humans always want to impose their feelings on other things.

"It's just that just as the moon can pull the tide of the sea to rise and fall, the moonlight can also pull people's thoughts, which is probably a strange magic. Zero didn't know if the people of this world would understand the effect of the moon on the tides, but after thinking for a moment, he (she?) gave Ai Xue an indefinite answer.

"Go to bed early, we'll have to go tomorrow. ”

Ai Xue has fallen asleep, and Zero is still looking at Shuangyue. From the first time I came to the other world to the present, that quiet night sky has gradually become a part of Zero's life. From lying alone in the dirt to being accompanied by Ai Xue now, Zero has to admit that fate is really a wonderful thing.
