A true hero marries a man by his appearance [Comprehensive]

...is an illusion.

It should be, an illusion.

God knows what's going on, Eddie always has a weird feeling that his whole body is hairy.

The source of the eerie feeling seems to be Oz - Ozymandias.In fact, he didn't forget the boy's full name from the very beginning, he just pretended not to remember it and called out the first two words on purpose.

To be able to cause such severe mental pollution to Eddie, who is especially strong in terms of endurance, that kid can be said to be quite remarkable.

And how would you describe that "feeling"?This is also a difficult problem.

Well, with the most succinct lingering sound... then one or two words will sum it up.

—— Tired and crooked.

--nausea.

The first thing that comes to mind are these two adjectives.

To say that kid is "disgusting" is not to have any opinion on him, it is purely a direct feeling derived from the previous "greasy".

Ozymandias didn't know why he took the wrong medicine. From a certain day, his behavior suddenly changed from his previous style.

The rapid changes, the magnitude of the changes, and the direct way of expressing made Eddie, who thought he was already very direct, a little bit unbearable.

If I want to describe it in detail, it would be——Before a certain day, although Ozymandias was fine, he would pester him every day and circle around him, but the only thing he did was keep challenging Him this one.

It's a little different now.

Challenges are still one of the things that must be done every day, but he has added countless entanglements that are meaningless in Eddie's view.

Since he barely officially recognized Ozymandias as his disciple more than three years ago, Eddie took him a lot more seriously and rarely felt impatient.

But now, that impatience has returned.

At first it was just impatient, never expected, soon the impatience escalated and became what it is now - headache, helplessness, indescribable, wanting to beat someone up.

"I'll make sure again, and you answer me honestly. Ozymandias, did you crash your head somewhere? What do you want to do with such a mess?"

"Ah? I don't understand what you mean. Don't talk about it. I gave it today. Don't you like it?"

"...I'm asking you, what kind of flowers did you send me for no reason?"

"Oh." Ozymandias was stunned, and he was really frank.

"I just want to give it to you." A few months later, the young man who seems to have grown a little said with a smile.

Looking at it this way, it is really called childishness.

The brunette youth had grown to a height only slightly shorter than Eddie's.

He has the majesty of the sun god, and his gestures are mature and stable. If his face is stern, others can't look directly into his eyes.

When we first met, the little prince, who was only waist-length, and would lose his temper whenever he was ignored, has grown up. Even Eddie has to admit that he has really become a man in his prime, so he will lose his temper. Ambitious man.

But—this is all superficial!

At first, Eddie was quite pleased with the growth of the disciple he finally recognized. It didn't take long for the other party to seriously undermine his expectations of him.

Childish... The essence is that the more you live, the more childish you are than when you were 12 years old!

Eddie (head starts hurting): "So why don't you send me flowers if you have nothing to do. I look like someone who likes flowers?"

Ozymandias (without hesitation): "Well, not like that."

Eddie raised his fist.

Ozymandias: "But, it's my heart."

"I want to use this to express my heart - such as thanks, and other things, the teacher can guess."

"Not interested, hurry up and take it away."

"……don't want?"

"No."

"Really not?"

"..."

"..."

"It's alright, alright, you won't give up if you don't force it to me. Bring it, let me see what it is today... Tsk, lotus?"

Eddie's head hurt even more as he stared at the petal after petal.

Ozymandias, an annoying kid, was still staring at him intently. He couldn't just stuff the flowers into his pocket like before, so he could only frown and carry them very carefully.

"Can't you express your gratitude in another way? I think verbal thanks are just—"

"no!"

Eddie: "..."

In the past, he often interrupted the prince who talked a lot without mercy. Now that the prince has grown up and his skin is hardened, he actually dares to interrupt the teacher in turn.

"I want to prepare the best for you. If this sentence comes out of my mouth, it must be done." Listen to the tone, how arrogant.

Turning the subject around, Ozymandias complained to him outrightly: "It's not you, teacher. Do you have any other preferences besides wine? The wine was given by Nefertari and Moses. I want to choose a different one. .”

"You are not interested in official positions, and you don't like gold, gems, and silk that most people love most. What do you want? Tell me, and I will find it for you."

The words that came out of this kid's mouth were still so arrogant.

But Eddie was annoying as he listened, but he still couldn't ignore the sincerity in his words.

Whatever he wants, find him... Well, let's ignore for now that if he really wants something, he will only find a way to get it by himself, and will not let others interfere.

So, what does he want?what does he like

Long, long ago, he liked beautiful women a little more than fine wine.

Preferably blue.Blue hair, blue eyes.It doesn't matter if it's not blue, he likes Enkidu too... Forget it, let's not mention Enkidu.

Change a content.Again a little bit, he also likes positive, enthusiastic people or things.

However, what he likes and what he wants can no longer be found.

……

Oh wait, by that standard...

Eddie looked aside in a blink of an eye, his expression of indifference to everything changed slightly.

Ozymandias: "?"

He obviously didn't know that the man thought of something so long ago in an instant, he just felt that the man was staring at him this time, his eyes seemed to be thoughtful.

Then—before the doubt surfaced, he was stunned by Eddie's words.

"Well, although you are neither a beauty nor a good wine, you have something to do with enthusiasm and positivity."

"Then, Oz." Eddie looked at him seriously, "I like you very much, and you are the one I like now."

——So bastard, stop stuffing those messy things with me in the future!

What he wanted to express was what he didn't say, and took care of Ozymandias' self-esteem a little bit.

However, something unexpected happened again.

Ozymandias suddenly fell into a trance.

Eddie looked puzzled.

"Hey! Hey! Oz, silly boy! What are you doing?"

"... No, I'm not ready yet. Ah, but, I'm very pleased with your calmness, teacher! Since that's the case, I also—"

"Oh, I missed one. I like Nefertari too, she is much cuter than you."

"........."

"By the way, who taught you to send flowers, Nefertari, or Moses?"

"Oh..." I was inexplicably depressed, and then insisted: "Moses."

"Moses would give you such a bad idea?" Eddie was skeptical, but in the end he didn't go into it. He just said, "Don't send me flowers in the future. I don't know what your habit is, anyway..."

Ozymandias was slightly stunned, and saw that the man had already looked away at this time, and only the voice came into his ears.

"I've always felt that this is a way of expressing love. Don't send these flowers indiscriminately. Give them to the lover you really like after you have made up your mind."

"……Well."

Ozymandias almost bares his heart.

However, the reason for him to stop temporarily was Eddie.

The man's expression didn't change, but Ozymandias felt for no reason that he remembered something from the past that he didn't want to mention to him.

Probably not an illusion.

It seemed sad and a little lonely.It's very faint, but it's there.

On the other side, after Eddie finished speaking, he couldn't help but turn his head and look back after waiting for a long time before a certain fool answered.

He also thought that Ozymandias was discouraged by him and was unhappy there.But looking back, the expression seemed to be different.

It's a bit hard to describe exactly what it looks like.

There is indeed an element of anger, and it seems that there is still something, brooding as if something he cares about has been snatched away by someone else.

Eddie couldn't comprehend the passionate inner world of a young man in love (it's strange to say so, but it was true), and he didn't intend to delve into it.

He is simple and rude, and he does it directly.

Snapped!

"What are you in a daze for? I still want to take a nap today if I'm still playing today."

Ozymandias: "..."

Ozymandias: "Hit!"

The things that must be done every day have begun.

Except that Eddie finally needs to be a little more serious in order to trample down the disciple who is also growing rapidly in terms of force, the result of the challenge remains the same as before and has not changed.

Ok……

After the end of the challenge, it seems to have changed a little.

"teacher……"

The apprentice, who was supposed to be panting heavily on the ground to lift his corpse, had a bad habit at some point, and always liked to stick mud and ash all over his body to the clean Eddie.

Ozymandias rested his sweat-stained chin on the man's shoulder, and pressed his equally wet face against the man's ear.

Even though the whole body was hung on him as if without bones, the boy's hands were not idle, passing through the teacher's armpit without any trace, just like that, tightly encircling him.

"...Don't push yourself too far."

It's that hairy feeling again.Eddie was going to be crooked, and the brown short hair was also sticking to his face, and it was quite annoying.

"The more you live, the more you go back. Are you acting like a baby to me?"

"No, I just want to hug you like this."

"Go hug your parents, hug Moses, and stay away from me."

"No."

The kid who was obviously acting like a baby but refused to admit it, rubbed against his neck.

Then, probably by accident, they bumped into each other—no, it was intentional at all.

Ozymandias turned his head, his lips just touched Eddie's side face, and kissed him openly near the corner of his mouth.

Eddie: "..."

The end is obvious.

The tall and dignified future pharaoh was thrown at least 20 meters away by his teacher.

……

however.

There's one thing Eddie obviously doesn't realize.

To this day, Ozymandias can become his approved disciple, except for talent, 80.00% of the reasons are due to——

To put it nicely, it is perseverance, to put it badly, it is stalking.

This brat's stalking spirit has not only not decreased over the years, but has also increased significantly.

After preventing Ozymandias from sending flowers over stupidly, Eddie didn't expect that the dead boy would naturally shift his target and continue the bad habit of sticking to himself with sweat after every challenge for a long time down.

Oh, that's not all, as long as they stay together in normal times, the dead boy still has to stick to it openly.

Hugging his waist from behind, wrapping his arms around his shoulders from the front, even risking being beaten, he stubbornly slapped him in the face...

Eddie: "... This apprentice is really getting younger and younger as I raise him."

Although I have lived for such a long time, it is the first time I have experienced such a naive little leopard slowly turning into the childish idiot it is now.

Eddie wasn't sure if Ozymandias was the norm or the exception.

It was really a headache, but after a long time, he didn't bother to take care of it anymore, and beating him again and again was useless.

Therefore, Ozymandias soon discovered to his delight that when he tried to hug him again, the teacher said to get out of the way or beat you, but he didn't actually move, and let him lazily hug.

After a while, the teacher didn't care about him even blatantly touching hands and feet, and even blatantly kissing.Of course, the place he most wanted to kiss was still not available.

With the above results, Ozymandias is quite satisfied.

Now he can make the teacher close his eyes unsuspectingly, and use him as a cushion to sleep on and bask in the sun.

With such closeness, isn't it just a matter of time if we continue to work hard to make the teacher pamper him even more?

In short - Ozymandias is in high spirits, walks with the wind, holds his head high, and does not know what he is thinking happily. Others who see him like this can't help being intoxicated by the prince who is like an eagle waiting to spread his wings. Your Majesty's heroism.

One day, the high-spirited Ozymandias was going to find Eddie again.

As a result, on the way, he ran into Moses whom he probably hadn't seen for a long time.

After they became adults, the pair of righteous brothers met much less time, not only because Ozymandias put all his heart on Eddie, but Moses also seemed to have something that he was silently preparing for.

However, even if they saw less, their brotherhood was not affected in the slightest.

Ozymandias was naturally very happy to meet Moses on the road this time.

However, he just said: "Mo—"

Moses showed a particularly sincere but somewhat strange expression: "Congratulations, Ozzy!"

Ozymandias (dumb): "Congratulations to me?"

Moses: "You and Nifei. I wish you both love and marriage, and you will be happy forever in the future."

Ozymandias: "...Love and Marriage??? Me and Nefertari???"

Moses didn't expect Ozymandias to react like this, and he was stunned: "Don't you know about your engagement?"

Ozymandias: "I! Root! Ben! No! Know! Know!"

When did it happen, why did he have no memory at all? !

"Well..." Moses seemed very puzzled, but he still decided to offer his most sincere congratulations to his dear brother as planned: "It doesn't matter if you know later. Isn't this very good, the union of two people who love each other... "

"Wait a moment."

Ozymandias interrupted him suddenly, his tone stern.

"Who said I fell in love with Nefertari?"

Moses was shocked: "What? You don't like Nefer? What happened to your attention to Nefer before that?"

Ozymandias' eyes became strange.

He looked at his stepbrother carefully and earnestly, as if he could see through the heart of the gentle-looking white-haired young man.

Ozymandias: "Moses, you've completely misunderstood."

"Nifertari and I are just friends, that guy...cough." He paused, his tone firm and unquestionable: "I don't like her!"

"Is there anyone else?"

"of course."

Ozymandias looked at Moses and paused every word: "I like the teacher. No, I fell in love with my teacher, Eddie."

Moses was so startled that he almost dropped his scepter: "..."

Ozymandias had never looked so serious, he rested his chin and pondered.

Then, he understood.

"No wonder Nefertari said that to me."

——Your Highness, I have done you such a great favor, you will have to thank me well in the future.

"Well, that's all right. Moses!"

"what happened?"

"I want Eddie."

Ozymandias pulled the thin and weak Moses over, his eyes sparkling: "You like Nefertari, and Nefertari also likes you—"

"Very good, a consensus has been reached!"

"...?!"

*****

If Ozymandias hadn't met Moses on the way and stopped to talk, at this time, even if he went to find Eddie where Eddie usually basks in the sun, he would not be able to find anyone.

Because Eddie is with the little girl Nefertari who has been taking care of him for the past few years, and he doesn't plan to come back for a while.

In other words, that silly apprentice who was getting more and more clingy was once again pitifully forgotten by him temporarily.

Nefertari was sitting in the courtyard when he came.

The servant serving her saw Eddie's approaching shadow from a distance, and immediately retreated without delay.Only two maids were left at the gate of the courtyard, watching them from afar.

"Why is your face still so ugly, didn't you eat well?"

Eddie walked to the wooden chair where Nefertari was sitting, looked down at the face of the girl who turned her face at the same time, and immediately frowned.

He was very dissatisfied.

Affected by race and environment, the people here all have brown skin, and Nefertari is no exception.

However, Nefertari, who can see the beautiful facial features when she was young, has grown up, and she looks even more beautiful immediately.

In Eddie's eyes, although Nefertari's appearance has changed a lot, in general, she is still the little girl who he finds very pleasing to the eye and who can take her to be self-willed from time to time.

Because of this, the little girl who was always spoiled became so depressed, he was naturally very uncomfortable looking at it.

Moreover, he was more or less part of the reason why the little girl became like this.

"Ah, Lord Eddie, why are you here?"

Nefertari was surprised when she saw him coming.

If it was her before, she would definitely stand up excitedly at this time - although she has grown up, she will not run to the man shyly and grab the hem of his clothes like she was when she was a child, but she will walk to the man with light steps. man's side.

However, now she can't stand up.

It's not that there is something wrong with the legs and feet, it's not that serious.There was a small blanket on the girl's lap, and even though the weather was fine, she was extraordinarily overdressed.

It's a physical problem.

A few months ago, the sequelae left by trying to summon.

After all, such a powerful existence was summoned, and it was also the top among the heroic spirits. Besides, it was the heroic spirit's body that came.

Even if a man who had been forgotten by Eddie and didn't plan to care about him cut off the contract in time, it would not be enough for Nefertari's magic power to be drained, and her vitality would also be greatly affected.

Therefore, in a few years, she can only rest like now.

"Why are you so surprised, why can't I come and see you?"

"That's not what it means...Because, I heard that Lord Eddie has been focusing on pointing out Ozymandias in the palace recently, and won't let anyone disturb him. So I didn't expect to have time to come to my house, eh."

"The advice is correct, and there is no distraction—I know, what is that kid spreading around! Go back and deal with him."

"Hahaha~"

Nefertari laughed.

The person who smiled so innocently and cutely and betrayed a certain prince without a trace was definitely not her.

"If I remember correctly, Nefertari, today is your birthday, right?"

"Eh...that's right, if Mr. Eddie doesn't say it, I will forget it myself."

"Well."

Eddie said.

Without any delay, he opened his mouth and revealed his real purpose for coming here today.

"Nifertari."

As he had asked many times, long ago.

"Do you want to go somewhere to see, or what gift do you want?"

"Birthday, plus—to celebrate your engagement to that boy Oz. Come on, anything."
