Neighbors in forbidden land

A figure stood in the middle of Yimi and I's way back to the cave.

Slightly shorter than Yimi, her long emerald green hair flows like a river in the space around her body, without touching her green ice-like dress at all, and the wings behind her are like six pieces Transparent crystals unfolded motionlessly on both sides of her back.

Above the slightly curved mouth corners, eyes exuding a faint golden light, with a smile that I can't understand at all, as if looking at Yimi and me, and as if penetrating us, looking at the distant sea.

At the end of her bare left arm, on the slender fingertips, there was a shimmering sphere floating around her fingertips.

There are several more of the same light sphere, but they have different colors such as red, blue, green, etc., all of which flutter around her.

Obviously there is nothing under her body, but she can still maintain a "sitting" posture, her left leg is crossed over her right leg, and the long green skirt slides down her thighs, but it reflects the fiery red light in the setting sun.

She was floating in mid-air.

"Xiao Hei? What was the sound just now?"

Yimi was taken aback by her sudden "hello", and hurriedly stopped her steps.

"Don't be surprised, it's our voice?"

She smiled softly, and her eyes fell on Yimi.

She...why did she come here.

big goblin.

In the distant past, when I was still wandering around the world, I saw her in the snow and ice of the far north.

I don't know her well, but all I know is, that day.

The whole world has become exactly the same, only she is still standing in the extreme north.

"Who? Is there anyone else in this place?" Yimi's face was full of surprise, she clenched her right hand and put it on her chest, facing the direction of the big goblin.

Unlike me, she can directly communicate with Yimi with her own voice, so Yimi can completely rely on her voice to guide me in her general direction.

Except for the visions around her, she looks like a human girl similar to Yimi.

"There's no one else in this place because we're not human."

"Not...human?" Yimi was confused and repeated the words of the big goblin softly.

"We are big goblins, according to human habits, you can call us Lena." Lena smiled again, and her eyes fell on me, "It's like you call her, although we don't think you will Call us that."

"Her? You mean...Xiao Hei?"

"Did you call her Xiao Hei?" She gently covered her mouth with her right hand, "It's really stupid."

"What did you say?" Hearing her words, Yimi showed a somewhat angry expression, "Who are you calling stupid?"

I have a bad feeling.

If she told Yimi what I am.

So……

"It doesn't matter if it's you..." Lena sighed softly, the smile on her face faded instantly, "It's still the little black in your mouth, it's all the same."

"We are meeting you for the first time, I hope you take back your rude words." Yimi raised her finger and pointed at Lena, with an extremely determined expression on her face.

"We just told the truth, and the red tape of human beings can't restrain us."

"you--"

Seeing that Yimi was about to get angry, I hurriedly stopped Yimi's behavior.

"It doesn't match your appearance... your voice is very pleasant." Reina shook her left hand lightly, and the white ball of light in her hand left her as if it could move by itself. The ball of light moved around her together.

"I don't allow you to say that about Xiao Hei!" As a result, Yimi didn't intend to stop at all, but instead took a step in the direction of Leina.

"According to human beings, we are praising her."

"Really? I can't hear a hint of praise at all, and why did you appear here?"

"We just want to send these children to various places, just passing by here." Lena put down her left leg and replaced her right leg with her left leg. With her movements, the balls of light around her began to surround her She circles in the same direction and speed.

"Child...is there anyone else..."

"Don't you know when you open your eyes?" Lena waved her hand lightly, with such a simple movement, she could feel a gust of wind flowing along her side.

That day.

It must be her magic.

And only her magic.

talent -

"I...you don't understand at all." Yimi withdrew her hand and pressed her eyes, the expression on her face softened a little.

"Is there anything we don't understand, isn't it the magic eye?"

Corresponding to Reina's smile was Yimi's unprecedented surprise.

"you know?"

"A magic eye that can cast curses, a magic eye that can change phenomena, and even a magic eye that can take away life..." Reina spit out these words quietly, "We all know it."

"...Then, you still asked me to open my eyes? Are you dying?" Yimi's momentum was not as strong as before, but she still continued the conversation with Reina.

"That kind of thing has no effect on us, and the existence of the great goblin cannot be measured by the word life. If you don't believe it, just open your eyes and you will know."

"..." Yimi didn't speak, but she didn't intend to open her eyes either.

"The magic eye has no way to affect the existence that also has the magic eye... If you don't open your eyes, we will use the magic eye, the one behind you—"

The magic eye doesn't work on me either, but—

"How dare you!" Yimi yelled suddenly, opened her eyes suddenly, and stared at Lena in front of her as if out of control.

As a result, the sporadic vines and dead trees around Lena and behind her weakened at a visible speed, and then... shattered under the breeze.

"Human beings are always so stupid, what we said is not wrong, right?"

Reina, who was not moved at all, just smiled and floated in the air about half a meter above the ground without any unnecessary movements.

"Are you... the great fairy Lena..." Yimi covered her eyes with one hand, and lowered her head in pain.

"Xiao Hei, don't move around!" As a result, Yimi slowly raised her head and closed her eyes, warning me, "It's really useless..." "Of course it's useless, we have mastered all the magic tricks in this world." eyes, and can be controlled at will.”

"What's so great..." Yimi whispered this sentence.

"Aren't you going to look back? You keep saying 'Xiao Hei'."

Hey!

"Don't take me for a fool, I won't be fooled."

Fortunately, Yimi has no intention of turning back.

"Human thinking is only at this level."

"You..." Yimi gritted her teeth and then fell silent, turned her head away and ignored Lena.

So, hesitantly, I spoke.

"We made up for such a big mistake of yours, is that the first sentence?"

"We don't think human etiquette is meaningful, and we don't need any thanks. We said that we are here to send these children, you should know."

She gestured to the ball of light floating beside her with her golden eyes.

I know.

That's a leprechaun.

A little goblin who once existed all over the world and could bring about various phenomena.

Also, what disappeared from this world along with that day——

"We have taken good care of some children, although we have been busy for a long time."

next moment.

I saw her eyes.

Seeing those golden eyes was like seeing that day.

A day that will never be forgotten.

"What about you?"

I……

I……

I……

"Let's go, this child, just stay here."

Reina waved her hand lightly, and a goblin emitting green light left her side, slowly drifting away from us, circling around a dead tree, and then circling again. to other places.

Afterwards, Reina turned around, waving the emerald green wings behind her, and slowly flew towards the north.

"Don't make the same mistake again, although we don't care."

Her voice was like a passing wind, swirling around Yimi and me.

"But any child in this world can't stand the toss."

The figure surrounded by colors disappeared into the sky dyed red by the setting sun.

All that was left was the wind all over the place, and the goblin who disappeared somewhere.

————————————————————————————————————————

"That big goblin...do you know him?"

After a long time, the silent Yimi spoke.

I can only nod my head.

"Who is she... No, or what is she?"

She was there when I first walked to the Far North since I was born.

We looked at each other from a distance, and she was the only one who didn't show fear when she saw me.

Because I don't even know what I am.

Not to mention her.

"So she just said so many rude words there?" Yimi stomped her feet lightly as if she was out of anger, "I'm really pissed off."

She is great.

Absolutely great.

"But..." Yimi pressed her hand lightly on her chest, and sighed, "It's great that nothing happened."

It will be all right.

"If my magic eye really worked on her... maybe I might not be able to lose my temper like I am now."

Yimi sighed softly.

"I don't want to let these eyes bring sadness anymore."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have these eyes, because Xiao Hei, you are—"

As a result, Yimi's words stopped on his lips.

"—Fortunately, Xiao Hei, you are fine. If I hadn't stepped forward to protect you, that big fairy Lena might really hurt you."

To be precise...she can't hurt me.

The magic eye doesn't work for me either.

"So, am I powerful?"

Yimi, you have always been amazing.

"So, from now on, I will protect you, Xiao Hei."

The smile on Yimi's face looked so dazzling and fragile under the last ray of sunset.

Like those delicate flowers blooming in the wind.

Although, I haven't seen flowers for a long time.

————————————————————————————————————————

"Today, Yimi and I met the big goblin Lena. Fortunately, she didn't expose the lie I told. I am very grateful to her, but Yimi said that she would protect me. In fact, it doesn't need it. It's still me. It's better to protect her.

But today Yimi and I both told a story, although Xiaogu didn’t tell a story, but since Yimi said she told it, let’s tell it, but Yimi really told a story that I can’t forget .

This kind of life should be able to continue forever.

No.

Certainly.
