i became a shadow

Chapter 270 Ending the Journey
On the blue and white intertwined sheets, Tobiichi Origami slowly opened her eyes, and she stared blankly at the ceiling as white as the sky.

Suddenly, the girl hastily propped her body up with her palms, trying to get away from the mattress with a slight smell of disinfectant.

Should have realized something.

"No, you can't move yet."

Reine Murasame put her hand against her chest, her long silver-gray hair was shining brightly, but her eyes were still wearing "smoky makeup" as usual.

"Origami, you can't run around, or you will confuse the teacher."

"O, how's Duo?"

She asked quickly, looking flustered.

Muramame Lingyin heard the words, and glanced at the red and white bandages wrapped around the opponent's abdomen more than once.

The bandage was originally clean and white, just like the girl's pale face at the moment.

"He's fine."

"That's good……"

Tobiichi Origami lay down again, feeling the dull pain of the wound, as uncomfortable as piercing into her heart.

"If only I could become stronger, strong enough to protect Ou..."

She murmured to herself, her blue eyes revealing unwillingness and loneliness.

It's ridiculous that the murderer who has always hated and even killed her own parents actually protected the most important person in her life.

Tobiichi Origami clenched her teeth, and buried her head deeply into the pillow, as if she could hide her fragility in this way.

She was really too weak.

Aileen, Yatogami Tohka, and even the Yawu sisters who came out of nowhere are much stronger than her.

If I become stronger, then everything will be different, right?

"I really want to become stronger..."

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's, but her tone was full of determination, which made Murasame Lingyin narrow her eyes and remained silent.

Kaka!

A moderate knock on the door passed by their ears leisurely, Murasame Lingyin said flatly.

"Please come in!"

"Lingyinfen... Hello, teacher, I'm here to visit Origami."

Outside the door, Duo gently opened the handle, and walked in with flowers in his hands.

The petals of red and wrinkled carnations exude a faint fragrance, which is refreshing and covers the unpleasant smell of disinfectant.

He slowly placed it on the exquisite wooden table, and then sat quietly beside him, his eyes as crimson as carnations, looking affectionately at the injured white-haired girl.

"I'm sorry Origami, I've been delayed by something, so I just came to see you now."

"I am very happy to see that Ao is safe and sound."

Tobiichi Origami turned her head and stared at the other party calmly, the emotion inside was hard to describe.

"I……"

Duo moved his lips, and then said nothing, just silently held her white palm.

"The school trip ends tomorrow. I'm going to discuss the preparatory work with Mr. Zhu. Let's have a good chat first. I'll go out for a while."

Muramame Lingyin was wearing a long white gown and walked out without looking back. The sound of high heels in the corridor became farther and farther away.

"Teacher, she's gone."

"Ah."

Tobiichi Origami nodded softly, and immediately showed doubts: "Oh, this is?"

Duo let go of her palm, only to see a crystal clear red crystal lying quietly in her little palm.

"It's called a recovery crystal." Duo explained with a smile, and Tobiichi Origami also kept staring at his exquisite appearance.

The white slightly transparent window screen is blown and swayed by the wind, and one black and one white hair is also flying.

"It should be expensive, right?"

"Not expensive, very cheap."

"Ah."

Her eyes flickered, and the color of the crystal was as beautiful as the bouquet of carnations, burning like a flame.

"Oh, I want to ask you something."

"...Let's talk after you recover from your injury."

"...Mmm." Tobiichi Origami tapped her chin lightly again.

……

The plane flying to Tiangong City was soaring in the sky, and the students were discussing interesting things about Meijima Island, and the whole cabin was very lively.

"Hey, where's Miss Ailian? Where did she go?"

Teacher Xiaozhu was very anxious. The plane was halfway through, and she realized that there was one person missing.

"She left earlier." Duo replied casually, leaning back on the seat, resting his hands on the back of his head.

The three of Shixiang chased Ailian for a long time, and they were about to capture her, but because of the fierce confrontation between Kurumi and Kotori, they were worried, so they rushed back without stopping.

Facts have proved that everyone guessed correctly. If it was later, Duo might have been accidentally injured.

Or there are speedboats left by DEM around the beautiful island, and Ailian took this opportunity to escape from the island. Even if Duo didn't witness her facial expression with his own eyes, he could still imagine the gnashing of teeth.

"Duo, I must repay this humiliation and anger twice!"

He had already guessed it, and Duo expressed regret that he failed to capture Ailian in one fell swoop, and the next time the difficulty might increase by a few layers.

Although Fraxinus' satellite system could detect Ailian's trace, it was embarrassing that no one went there.

Anyway, the opponent is also a top magician in the world, without more than two lord-level combat power, they can only return in vain.

"oh oh."

Teacher Xiaozhu nodded cutely.

"How do you feel about Origami?" Duo looked at the literary girl by the window and asked softly.

"Very good, we are ready to fight." Tobiichi Origami said.

"Stop thinking about fighting."

"Understood, I can already be with Ao ××, and I can still ××."

"..."

What happened to that silence?

Duo kept his mouth shut and looked out of the window at the strangely shaped clouds, blue curtains and white cotton, forming a landscape that he would never get tired of watching.

Everyone got on the plane early in the morning and arrived at Tiangong City Airport, it was already noon.

"Go home!"

Shixiang stretched her waist, her figure was curvy, tall and graceful.

"Tiangong City, just hearing the name, there is a feeling of a palace in the sky, and purple stars shining."

"Secondary, there is a lot of traffic and flowers are blooming."

"Shidou-kun, the cherry blossoms in my hometown are blooming again, why don't you come back and have a look."

Duo never reflected on why his painting style was different from others.

Wuhe Shidao heard the words and looked around. The cherry blossom trees planted on the street back home had sparse branches and leaves, and pink petals covered the ground.

The scent is lingering, and the alleys are filled with familiar smells.

"The cherry blossoms in this season are indeed very lush, as if the world is pink."

Immediately, he came to Duo without leaving a trace, looking at the other's small and cute earlobes, Wuhe Shidou stretched his neck.

"Duo, after our unremitting efforts yesterday, we finally found all the videos about the fire five years ago, and found a very suspicious clip." He said quietly, very close to the ear of the other party.

Duo's heart moved, expressing his understanding.

Origami was picked up by the people from AST, so she wasn't with them, but that's good, to prevent the other party from getting emotional again.

"Can you show me?" he said quietly.

Wuhe Shidou had exactly this intention, and this matter was related to Kotori, so he had to be cautious.

"I believe in my sister, she will not do such a thing!"

Duo didn't answer immediately, but just nodded his chin slightly: "I also sincerely hope that Kotori will not be involved."

　Let’s make an update today, the dormitory is too noisy, and a bunch of people came to play cards, it’s really depressing...University dormitories are used to torture people, and tomorrow is full of classes, so let’s go to the library to catch up on manuscripts then, I'm really sorry.
