Neighbors in forbidden land

Since that day, the world has changed.

Even after gradually recovering, the world is not the same as it used to be.

The sea is back, but it will no longer wash the coast endlessly. Only at noon and midnight will the tide slowly flow across the beach, fade away, and there will be no movement.The sea that once contained everything has only a few lives left.

Days and nights have become shorter than in the past. I don't have much concept of time, but if the day before the disaster was 24 hours, the current day is only about [-] hours.

The changing seasons have also disappeared from this world, spring, summer, autumn, and winter are gone.There is only the sun that always rises and sets as usual, and the plants that sprout and die repeatedly, evergreen, fallen leaves, white snow...all are gone.

Everything has changed.

Therefore, I did not leave this land one step further.

Because, I don't want to trouble the world any more.

I lay on the calm sea, looking at the distant sea level.

There is the direction where Yimi left, and the direction where Yimi's boat left.

On that day, Yimi was brought here by that ship.

That day, Yimi was taken away by that ship.

That day, I lay here in a daze, watching the sun rise and the sun set.

Now, I lie here in a daze, watching the sun rise and watch the sun set.

Nothing has changed.

But everything has changed.

Goo is gone.

Yimi is gone too.

I look at the sea.

Looking at the non-stop churning——huh?

Huge water bubbles rose from the bottom of the sea one after another, bursting on the calm sea surface, spreading out huge ripples.

The originally calm sea surface began to churn, and blue water waves followed one after another. White foam and splashes swirled on the sea surface alternately, turning into extremely fast rotating vortexes.

The next moment, a blue-black shadow jetted out from the vortex.

It was a long snake tens of meters long. Blue-black scales opened and closed on the surface of her body. The long inverted fangs reflected the light like lines in the sun. The sharp fins were as sharp as claws, and the white point on the abdomen There is a dark red light on the corner.

The nearly ten-meter silver-white tail fin is like a huge fan, setting off huge waves on the sea.

Most of my tens of meters body was submerged under the blue sea, only those white eyes stared at me lying on the beach.

I remembered.

her name.

"Ho Ho... (Little Goo...)"

No, maybe she shouldn't be called Goo.

The huge tail fin draws a silver-white light curtain in the air, the next moment.

Waves taller than my body rose from the raging sea, and after rising and falling, they hit me directly.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)"

"..."

The turquoise sea water was churning beside Xiao Gu, and waves washed over the beach one after another.

Little Gu was angry, but I was speechless.

I... didn't go out, I went out to prevent those humans from taking Yimi away. "Gululululu! (Did you know that Yi was taken away!)"

She opened her mouth, ejecting a huge column of flames that directly burned my body in a columnar swirl, staining the sand around me with a layer of scorched black.

"Ho... (I know...)"

Now she is the most powerful monster capable of affecting this ocean.

Leviathan.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

Xiao Gu's body surged like a long snake, and her thick and long tail with a huge silver tail fin directly hit my head, and the sea water from the huge sound splashed all over me directly.

"..."

Prevent.

How to stop it.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Once again I was overwhelmed by the oncoming waves.

"Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho, Ho Ho Ho... (Humans will not understand us, because we are monsters...)"

Snapped!Goo's tail fin hit my left cheek again.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" (I don't care! Where is Yii? Where is Yii!)"

"Ho...ho... (She... is gone.)"

Next, another huge flame washed over my body directly.

"Glulululu! (I know she's gone!)"

"Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho... (You don't know what happened...)"

Snapped!Another tail fin hit me on the right cheek.

"Gulululu! (I just know I'm not here anymore!)"

"..."

Finally, the huge tide directly hit the whole beach, and the waves that fell from the sky submerged me again.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr." (It's all your fault!)"

After the sea water receded and was submerged under the sand grains, Xiao Gu had already disappeared from the sea surface.

The sea returned to calm again, as if the scene just now had never happened.

Are you back in the sea...

I looked at the place where Goo disappeared.

You're back.

That's great.

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

I shuffled towards the north, not knowing where I was going, but I just wanted to stay away from the sea.

Because I can't face Xiao Gu.

She tried so hard to keep Yimi, but she couldn't do anything because she hadn't grown up to what she is now.

But... Xiao Gu grows up so fast, after all, it's only been a few days since Yimi left.

How many days?

A few days?

Do you remember something in the diary?

Did I keep a diary?Recently?

I stood where I was, and kept thinking about it.

Forget it...don't want to.

This must be possible.

I am not human.

I don't even know if I'm a monster or not.

But all I know is that I am Calamity.

The disaster that once destroyed the world.

Maybe the former Leviathan and Behemoth forgot the mistakes I made because they died on that day.However, the dragon still remembered.On that day, she must have been protected by the largest dragon that had turned into rocks.

Human beings still remember that even if human life is short, human language and writing will eventually pass on the mistakes I made that day.

Is not it?

Even Yimi, who doesn't know my identity, once said that Calamity is the most vicious monster.

This is the indelible mark I have left in the memory of mankind.

Humans will not forgive me.

I don't understand human emotions, or rather, I don't even understand the emotions of monsters.

I know they won't forgive me, but I can't understand their feelings.

That dragon was trying to kill me.

What about humans?Are they afraid of me so much and hate me so much, do they also want to kill me?

But none of them could do it.

I am not going to die.

Even if this world falls into a sea of ​​flames, even if the sea water dries up again, even if the entire sky is shrouded in darkness, even if every life dies again.

Even if the stars change, the long river of time rushes by.

I won't die either.

Because, until now, I have not died.

I don't know how I'm going to die, I just live like this.

Watch the sun go down, but can no longer see the moon rise.

From the past to the present, from the past to the present.

I even forgot when my wings became so broken.

Was it after being buried that day?

forgotten.

I even forgot when I was burnt to charred black.

Was it after being burned that day by the flames?

forgotten.

All I know is that even so, I still haven't died.

What is it like to be dead?Even if it's gone?

I do not know.

I saw that Bechymos would be reborn after death, although he was no longer the original Bechymos.

I have seen plants that die and sprout again, although it is no longer the same plant.

I saw that Leviathan will be reborn after death, although he has become the current little goo.

I saw that human beings will reproduce after death, but there is no one who can accept me anymore.

So, just don't make trouble.

Just don't bother humans, plants, animals, monsters, or this world.

Just stay here.

As long as you don't move around, it's fine.

if only--

The moment I bowed my head.

I saw a light green on the barren ground.

It was...a cloak woven from dried vines and leaves.

It was worn by Yimi... No.

I remember that day, when Yimi was taken away, she was wearing a cloak.

But why is there still here?

—Go get me some leaves and vines.

I suddenly remembered what Yimi said that day.

Yimi made another one, but the one on Yimi wasn't broken.

So this one is-

When I think of this, I think of something.

Is it...

No... I stretched out my claws, scooped up the cloak and the surrounding soil, and put it in the center of my claws.

Look at the claw that has lost a claw tip.

Looking at the one in the claw, it was obviously smaller than Yimi's body with a dry cloak.

Looking at Yimi's torn clothes still hanging on his arm.

I don't understand.

It has been since the first time I met Yimi.

I don't understand Yimi's words, Yimi's actions, and Yimi's expression.

But we agreed.

—I will not abandon you.

--I will always stay with you.

— until the end of life.

But we pulled the hook.

——If I give an order, Xiao Hei, can you be there on call?

--sure.

But I said so.

——Then... I want to stay by Yimi's side.

You brought to this land, to me what I thought I would never see again.

You brought to this land, to me the same colors I thought I had seen countless times.

I don't know what warmth is, but I see your long light orange hair, which is far more dazzling than the sun.

I don't know what beauty is, but I see your blushing smile, far more beautiful than the world.

I don't know what I am, but I see that the name you gave me is more important than anything else.

I slowly raised my paws and poured the cloak and the pile of dirt onto my arms.

The finely divided soil slid down the uneven gaps on the surface of my arms, and only the withered cloak was hanging on my arms.

I spread my wings and flew towards the extreme north.

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

Under the endless night, there is snow all over the sky.

The huge ice crystal tree over [-] meters stretched its branches wantonly toward the sky and the earth. This time, it got closer and reached the bottom of the tree. The thick ice crystal roots spread in all directions and penetrated deeply into the soil. inside.

You can even see a goblin shaped like a ball of light exuding different rays of light, hanging quietly on the branch like the fruit of this ice crystal tree.

I also saw the big fairy Lena sitting quietly on the branch amidst the flying snow. Her long green hair slid down her body like flowing water and slid over her skirt, as if sitting down with her. branches merged into one.

I tried to speak, not to use the language of monsters, nor to communicate with consciousness, but to communicate with her through my own voice, using human language.

"sorry."

perhaps.

So many days have passed.

I feel like I've done so many things wrong and I forgot to say those words to her.

"Also, thank you."

She didn't move, her golden eyes never fell on me, she just looked into the distance.

After a brief silence.

"I remember we said that we don't care what you do."

"remember."

My voice was trembling, but Reina didn't make any other movements, she just spoke lightly: "Let's just tell you, because you pushed the moon to the earth—that is, this world, so no matter the planet's The autobiographical revolution and the adjustment of the orbit are very troublesome, and you can't understand it."

"Yes."

I really can't understand what she is saying, all I know is that without her help, the world would not be back to what it is now.

"During such a long time, our purpose of repairing the world bit by bit with magic is not for you."

"clear."

"We don't need human etiquette, thanks or apology, because we are not human, and you are not human, you know?"

"know."

"I know...but you still want to say it?"

"Yes."

After a brief silence, the big goblin's golden eyes turned from the snow, and looked down at me lightly:

"It seems that you have changed more than just your own color."

Change or something, I don't know.

All I know is.

"I'm going to find Yimi."

Another brief silence.

"Do you know what your words mean?"

"know."

"Those human beings are relying on the magic barrier that was built with great difficulty to survive?"

"Ah."

"You'll destroy that, just like that day."

"It won't be like that day again."

I did do a lot of things wrong that day.

I thought I would stay in the forbidden land like this forever.

But I met Yimi.

We can't meet and talk.

But they know each other and meet each other.

In this forbidden land.

The whole world calls me Calamity, only you call me Xiao Hei.

and so.

The whole world hates you, only you are my princess.

"madness."

After Reina just said this, she looked away and stared into the distance again.

The goblin beside her quietly stopped on her shoulder, under the long green hair.

That's it.

I just came to apologize and thank you.

I spread my broken wings and flew south through the ice and snow.

"It's stupid...but it's better than last time."

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

I came to the beach and looked at the calm sea.

"Roar. (Little Goo.)"

calling her name.

However, there was no response.

Then.

I tried to say Yimi's name in this way.

As a result, the entire sea began to churn violently, and the turbulent waves kept hitting the coast.

On the surface of the sea, only a pair of white eyes were exposed, staring at me.

"Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho, Ho Ho Ho Ho? (I'm going to find Yimi, are you going?)"

Little Goo's body covered with blue and black scales danced in the sea, and the silver-white tail fin set off waves after waves on the sea surface.

"Grunt. (Go.)"

"Roar. (Go.)"

So, I spread my wings, and Little Goo rolled up his body and suddenly turned to face the south.I flew up into the air, then lowered my altitude and flew close to the surface of the sea.Xiao Gu rushed out suddenly, his body tens of meters straightened in the sea, broke through the sea water, set off waves to both sides, and followed me at an extremely fast speed.

The purpose is south.

human habitation.

I haven't been close for a long time.

The dwelling place of the remaining human beings.
